comparably more serviceab.e in the affairs of
man than the crowbar. Mr.. Jefferson is an I'M
wearying delight to those who enjoy bird mu-
Sic the distant brawl of brooks, the fairy paint
ings on autumn leaves, and the last perclings
upon the sky of the vanished sun. He is as I'M
obtrusiye, as modest as these and as cheering.
II only he might, like these, give forth his
charm forever some things the world would
keep its own to the end of time, and the gentle,
pure, serviceable comedian is one Of them"
About "ofr. Wilkinson's Widows"
"Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" the latest pro-
duetion from William Gillette's pen, will be the
next attraction at the Hanna opera house, for
two nights, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Febru-
airy 70 and 81 The title is, OF course, odd, and
characteristic to q large degree OF tho authors
sense of huInor. The piece was written for Mr..
Charles Frohman who has a. present fourteen
successful organizations under his direction.
"Mr. Wllkinson's Widows" has brought to Mr..
William Gillette greater financial congratula-
ton. than any previous work in which he was
engaged. As matter of course, any of Gill
lette's comedies might be staged without pre-
meditation, and herein lies the secret of the
has been the most successful in America
for years. When he wrote "Wilkinson's
Widows" he did so under direction and to suit
the characteristics of company Of frst-clsss
comedians. The piece was presented to q New
York audience at Proctor's theater, and held
sway for nearly 200 nights, and twenty five
nights at the Baldwin theater, San Francisco.
For comedy farce seasons run means much.

"His Natural Life" at Cordray's.

Manager French has happily changed his bill
from domestic drama to comedy drama this
week. "The Impostor'' win be succeeded by
ellis Natural Life" comedy drama with
brilliant record. The humor of the play is
heightened by a delicate pathos which runs
through the story, and the two combined keep
an audience wavering between laughter and
tears. In Portland the piece was played to full
houses at the New Park theater for week,
and the press generally spoke highly of its
merits and entertaining qualities. New scenery
has been painted for the production by C. L.
McFarlan, who has succeeded Mr.. Buchan, the
scenic artist of the theater. Miss Beatrice Lieb,
the new leading lady, will make her first ap.
pearance before a Seattle audience Monday
night, in the emotional part OF Helen Lyons.

The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-07-27

Merchants. and business men gener-
orally, in The Dalles, inform us that
during July and August they expect dull
times; that while business seems mac
tive because the farmers are too busy to
visit the city, trade keeps up about the
same, and mail orders increase. The
wool business is about closed for the sea-
SON, and wheat will soon be on. Vegeta-
bles of all kinds are plentiful and values
are shade stronger. Cantoloupes and
watermelons are arriving from Califor-
MIA, per steamers principally. In dairy
produce there is a firmer tone to the
market for choice fresh butter, and deal
ers are asking steady prices for a strictly
first-class article. The demand for sum-
mer fruits is steadily maintained, and
the moderate receipts tend to sustain
values. There is considerable specula-
ton among dealers as to actual condi-
tion of the apricot ald peach crop, owing
to the fact that the driers and packers
are offering unusually high rates for the
green products. Berries are in moderate
demand and prices are fairly steady.

TiIlamoOk Rock Light.

few days ago head keeper r. Peter
son, OF the Tillamook rock lighthouse,
set his foot on the main land at Astoria,
after protracted exile of nine months
on the lonely sea-girt rock. Peterson
for five years has performed the duties
of light-keeper with only three persons,
two assistants and cook; for company,
and patch of sterile rock IS feet square,
surrounded by the bounding main, as
his dominion. OF all the light stations
on the United States coast, Tillamook
rock is probably the most lonesome.
The rock is SS feet in height from the
water and the tower rises As feet. max
ing the stotal hight 1876 feet from the
ocean to the focal plane of the light.
The lamp is an immense circular five
wick, and is revolved by machinery: a
system of blank lenses making it flash
light

Poor Fire Apparatus.

How often it occurs. when things are
going along smoothly, that some particu-
lar necessity for the common good is
neglected, and a fire, or flood it may
be, comes along and destroys hundreds
and sometimes thousands of dollars
worth of property, besides oftentimes
sacrificing lives. In Portland recently
an entire block of buildings was destroy
ed, in the very heart of the city, which
it is said might have been avoided with
little better management. In Walla
Walla, last Saturday, the Slime house,
the French restaurant, and.Meyers cigar
factory, were DESTROYED because of de-
fective steam fire engine. The engineer
was suspended, but if the statement of
gineer of the engine should be reinstated
and the councilmen hauled over the Goals
neglect of duty. Chief Bl&lock says: for
fI was within half block of the engine
house when the first cry OF fire was
given and l ran to the engine, when I
found the guage on the boiler marked
twenty pounds of steam. When the
engine arrived at Fourth street and
was set the guage showed ten pounds OF
steam. Engineer Thornton opened the
throttle to give the fire draught when
the steam dropped down to nothing.
The fumes of the engine were leaking
very badly and it was almost impossible
for the stoker to keep the fire going.
This goes to show that it was not the
fault of the departments paid officers,
but of the engine and proves what
have been contending with the council
for, that the city needs more and better
apparatus. 1 make this statement in
justice to the paid members of the fire
department who naturally will be the
recipients of considerable censure from
! the public.''

The Mccoy Ditch.

Fossil Journal. As the work of sur
veying the Mccoy ditch is in progress,
it seems appropriate to give some facts
in connection with the project as found
in the location notice filed with the
clerk of Crook county on the 9th of
of April last. The enterprise is the con-
ception of the Oregon Land, Irrigation,
Office in Portland, and incorporated un-
der the act filed with the secretary OF
state on February 18, 1891, providing for
the appropriation of water from the
lakes and running streams of Oregon for
irrigation. The act will make the pro-
posed ditch when completed real prop
erty in Crook county The point of di-
version will be at or near the upper
rapids Oh DesChutes river and it's general
course will be northerly and as far
as possible in northwesterly direc-
ton, traversing the arid lands on the
east side
From the headgate will extend a
system of ditch or fume, or sections oi
each, of the following dimensions
Flume, fifty feet wide, and ten feet
