The RattIesnake Road.

Mr.. B. S. Adams. who has had
charge of the construction of the
Rattlesnake road, has returned to the
city, and reports having laid off most
of the hands he has had in his employ,
only few being now at work doing
some blasting. Mr.. Adams has had
twenty men employed and thus far has
expended $3.50, leaving something
over $500, of the amount subscribed
with which to complete the work.
The road is now in condition that
light teams can pass over it, and as
soon as the weather will permit work
being Resumed next spring it wilDbe
completed. so that heavy teams can
pass over it with perfect ease and
safety. 1t was estimated by some that
the Rattlesnake road would cost S15.-
600, but under the judlcious manage
ment of Mr.. Adams it will be COM
pleted very nearly within the limits of
the amount that has been subscribed
by the business men of The Dalies and
the citizens of Sherman county.

Cause For Damages.

When Judge Eikin announced in
the circuit court Friday afternoon Az
the opening of the $4,000 libel case,
says the Baker City Democrat, where
in Cora Thomas, colored, appeared as
plaintiff and Bowen & Small, editors
and publishers of the popular Morning
Democrat, occupied the enviable posi-
tion of defendants, that some objection
had been made to Judge Clifford pre-
siding in the trial of the case on ac-
count of relationship existing between
he and one of the 1itigants, W. F.
Butcher. one of the defendants coun-
sci, arose and addressed the court as
follows: Your honor, I think it is
only just and right that you should
state to which party his honor, Judge
Clifford is related, the plaintiff or de-
fendants." 1t is intimated in legal
circles that Judge Clifford will bring a
suit for SANDER against the astute
counsel.

Caused a Sensation.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-All morning pa.
pers devote more or less editorial space
to discussion of President Cleveland's q
message on the merits of that question
itself.
The Daily Telegraph (iberal) pub
fishes an editorial contending that
America has no concern in the Vene-
zuela dispute. The editorial goes on
to say:
SIN truth, this invertion of the Mon
roe doctrine seems, on this side of the
water, to be irrelevant because there
is no question OF territorial greed or
the imposition of an European system.
1t is absurd because statement of an
American policy can hardly claim to
attain the rank of a principle of inter-
national law.

Accident in Crook County.

h. Taylor Hill met with a serious
accident last Monday night at Upper
Trout, near the Grader place. Mr..
Hill left here on Monday in his buggy
and night overlook him before he came
to his journeys end. In crossing a
ditch. it being dark, the horses did not
keep the road; when he came to the
ditch, one horse jumped it and and the
other took the bridge, and of course
the buggy followed suit and Taylor
was thrown out. He got one of his
feet tangled in the wheel and was
dragged some distance. He finally
succeeded in stopping his team and
getting himself together and arrived
at Tom Jones' with broken rib and
numerous bruises. He was brought to
this city last Wednesday by Ed. Dean
and the doctors proceeded to do him
up Mr.. Hill was fortunate in not
being hurt any more than he was

By this it will be seen that it costs
on an average 1922 81 to get prisoner
from Lake county to the penitentiary,
S1S9.30 from Grant, S50.22 from Wasco,
S16.95 from Multnomah, and S1S.25
from Marion. While the expense of
conveying prisoners from all of the
counties seems to be pretty high, the
Marion county sheriff's bills appear TO
be the most unreasonable. All he has
to pay is fare for himself, one guard
and the prisoner from the court house
in Salem to the penitentiary, and how
he figures up a bill of $50 as actual
expenses. which is all he is allowed
under the law Of 1895, is mystery.
Perhaps Sheriff Knight and Secretary
OF State Kincaid can explain, and by
so doing they would confer favor
upon the taxpayers of the state.

THE BAZAAR.
1t Was q Brilliant Affair and Drew q
Large Crowd.


Every body had anticipated that the
bazaar which was opened at the Ar
mory Friday night by the ladies of the
Congregational church would be some
thing out of the ordinary, but few
we're prepared for the happy scenes
that greeted their gaze when they en-
tered the door of that spacious hall.
The first object to attract ones atten-
tion was the June booth, located i'm
mediately in front of the door in the
center of the room, bedecked with
bright colors and laden with choicest
flowers. Next beyond was a hexagon-
al booth covered with ''old glory's"
stars and stripes, where the most in
ticing confectionaries were displayed.
To the right of the hall were stationed
the booths representing November,
April and May, February and Decem-
Der: the last of which was most attrac-
tive, inasmuch as it contained dis
play Of handiwork that was pleasing to
the eye-handsomely dressed dolls and
delicate embroideries. At the left. of
the hall were the booths of March,
September, October and January, all
very handsome, but probably the most
attractive was the first named, in which
was the fish pond, where the angler
for fortune could deposit his fee and
fish for an unknown prize. Fitting
about, among and around these taste
fully arranged booths was the beauty |
of the city-young and beautiful miss
es, clad in delicate raiment, that re-
minded one of bevy of butterflies
holdiug high carnival in a flower gar
den, slipping natures choicest nectars.
Another attractive feature was the |
gypsy camp. The stage had been pro-
vided with miniture fires, resembling
an evergreen forest, and among the
trees tent was stretched, in which |
four ladies, representing gypsies, for
reasonable stipend, told the mysteries
of the past, present and future connec-
ted with the lives of the visitors at
their quarters.
: The musical programme rendered
was highly appreciated, and was as fol-
lows:

ANOTHER MARKED SUCCESS.
The Second Day of the Bazaar as Good as
the First,

The second day and evening of the
bazaar was no less attractive than the
first. Saturday forenoon no admis-
sion was charged at the armory door
and great many visited the bazaar
to purchase the varied articles
placed on sale. In the afternoon
the attraction was the baby show.
Under the skillful management of
Mrs. Meyer, who had charge of the
exhibit, the identity of the youthful
candidates for beauty was profound
secret to the judges, all that was known
was their sex and the class to which
they belonged. Five prizes were Of
fered-one for the best pair of twins,
one each for the best boy and girl un-
der one year old, and one each for the
best boy and girl between one and two
years of age. The prizes were as fol-
lows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Smarts' twins were
awarded the prize in their class. In
the other classes Nos. 5, 16, II and l9
were awarded prizes. but unfortunately
the committee in charge have been
unable to get the names of the babies
corresponding to all the numbers as
yet.
The evening was large. and a jollier
good natured crowd never assembled
in the city. The musical programme
was excellent and the tableau, repre-.
senting Christmas scenes was simply
grand. Santa Clause, the mythical
friend of the little folks, surrounded by
a lot of little elfs, was scene that won
the admiration of all.
The most exciting feature of the en-
tire affair was the voting for the most
popular young lady in the city. There
were 852 votes cast, and Miss Clara
Davis receiving 451, was awarded that
honor.
The bazaar was decided success as
4 social event, ana those who attended |
look forward with happy expectations
TO the time when it may be repeated.

INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.
The County Teachers Institute Will Not
be Held in The Dalles as Previously
Announced.
Editor TIMEs-MouNrAINEER:


Announced.
Editor TIMEs-MoUNrAINEER:
Our county institute must necessarily
be Indefinitely postponed. Circum-
stances. that could not possibly fore
see and over which have no control,
have transpired to bring about this re-
suit. The date of the state association
has been changed to fall on the same
time we have selected. When arrang-
ing for the time of our meeting, had
no thought whatever that state meet
ing would be held at all this winter, as
it is only customary to hold one each
year, and one had been held last July,
to make doubly sure, however, before
sending out the circular letter, wrote
to the state superintendent who, in re-
ply Nov. 80, gave me the first news of a
state meeting this winter. and fixing
the time for Dec. 26, 27 and %. 1t was
however found to be an unfortunate
date as can readily see, and changed
to Jan. l., and 8. This absolutely
prevents Pres. Campbell, one Of our
instructors, from attending the first
week of our meeting which was to be-
gin Dec. 80. Even if this could have
been avoided, it was not wise to attempt
holding both meetings at the same
time. 1 suppose no one is to blame,
but in justice to myself I make the
above statement.

When Mr.. and Mrs Blakeney left

Invitations have just been issued for

Complete programme will be published

Rumored That the S. P. Wants to Gobble
up the O. r. & n. Property.

Rumored That the S. P. Wants to Gobble
up the o. R. s. n. Property.
It Is rumored that the recent rate
war between Portland and San Fran
cisco was inaugurated by the South
ern Pacific with view of gaining con-
troll of the o. R. & N. property. Con-
cerning this rumor the Portland Tele-
gram says:
Persons who have been casting about
for a reason for the prolonged rate war
see deeper purpose in the fight OF
Mr.. Hunting toms road. 1t is conceded
that the attraction does not lie in do
ing an increased passenger and freight
business, but that every move of the
Southern Pacific is taken with one
end in view-the ultimate absorption
OF the Oregon corporation, which must
some time be reorganized and extend
ed and its affairs adjusted, or it mnst
again become part of greater sys-
TEN.
"If it be true that there is more be-
hind the Southern Pacifc's rate war
than a contest for increased business,
it is very probable that the fate OF the
Oregon road hangs between the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific sys-
TENS. Both systems want the control
of the lines in Oregon, and it may re-
solve itself into a fight between the
two corporations.
'It is pointed out that Mr.. Hunting
ton, with his usual far-sightedness, is
planning to get control of the o. R. &
N. when the critical time shall come.
This he is doing by backing Hammond
in the Astoria-Goble road, and also in
the Oregon Central & Eastern. This
property, recently acquired by Ham,
mond, is virtually Southern Pacific
property, and under Southern Panifc
management.
"With the completion Of the link be-
tween Goble and Astoria and the con-
troll of the o. r. & N. lines from the
sea over the interior, Oregon would
find herselfas completely in the mono
polistic grip as it is possible for state
to be. Nothing but disaster to the
Southern Pacific system or the build
ing of new road somewhere through
the state could break the. combination
and make some kind of competition"

An Astoria paper says that city is
getting ready for the biggest boom of
the nineteenth century. That paper
does Astoria an injustice. The city
nowadays that advertises that it is
going to have boom is looked upon
with distrust. People who have had
their bank accounts depleted by in
vesting in boom towns in the west are
afraid of anything that has the appear
ance OF boom. 1t is steady, substan-
tial growth that makes a great city,
not inflated values created by real es-
tate dealers.

Rev. Davis on Gambling.

By special request of the Municipal
League, the ministers of Portland con-
fined their sermons last Sunday to the
''evils Of gambling and the cure there
for" Rev. J. S. Davis, who spoke in
the A. o. o. w. temple, suggested an
effectual remedy. He said "the only
way to stop gambling etfectually is to
kill out the gambling spirit. If you
stop up the crater of an active volcano
the fire will break out somewhere else.
and with greater fury. The streams
of fire and smoke and lava stop only
when the fires are extinguished in the
bowels OF the earth. So with man. In
the depth Of his lower nature there are
innumerable hells, active with the
fires of Internal love and lust, and they
are bound to find vent somewhere. If
you try to prevent their expression by
force of arbitrary law, you only
change the course of their exit. Stop
gambling by outward force. and the
hells will find vent in, it may be more
drunkenness, more thefts or more mur
ders. This is a law of nature not gen.
orally recognized. The most effectual
way to stop gambling is by education
and degeneration. Let the children
be trained to know the degrading et-
fects Of the gambling den and what it
it will naturally lead them to in the
the other world. Put the matter in
such rational light that they will re-
alize it, and it will have more potent
effect upon them than all the arbitrary
laws in the world. Train them to re-
alize the blessedness of virtue and the
life of bliss and usefulness to which it
will lead them. Let them have inno-
cent amusements at home and be
taught to love the home. Then they
will not wander into the street to find
