LOVE AND SORROW.

Love and sorrow met in May,
Crowned with rue and hawthorn spray,
And sorrow smiled.
Scarce bird Of all the spring
burst between them pass and sing,
And scarce child.
Love put forth his hand to take
Sorrows wreath for sorrows sake,
Her crown of rue.
Sorrow cast before her down
Fen for loves sake loves own crown,
Crowned with dew.
Winter brea he'd again, and spring
Covered and shrank with wounded wing
Down cut OF sight.
Nay, with all her loves laid low.
Saw no flowers but flowers of snow
That Knocked her flight.
Love rose mp. with crownless head,
Smiling down on spring time dead,
On wintry May.
Sorrow, like cloud that flies,
Like q cloud In clearing skies.
Passed away.

RattIesnake ROAD.

''This road is in such shape now that
five men can put it in good travelling
condition in week." so says Mr.. G. F.
Gunther of Moro, Sherman county, and
be knows. The work on the road has
been suspended at present, but will be
resumed as soon as the weather will per-
nit. The people are anxious to have it
completed as from what has been al
ready demonstrated, they can realize
the great benefit which will be derived
from its use.
1t is claimed by those who are
familiar with this road, that it will be
one of the best in the county, and good
roads are what is needed. The people
of Sherman county are to be congratu-
lated upon the enterprise shown in this
direction, not only as matter of econ
omy, but good business sense. We
trust the people of Wasco county will
imbibe some of their spirit and improve
the highways and especially those lead
ing out of The Dalles There has been
some noted improvements made on some
of them in the last year, but there is
plenty of work to be done, and our
county court should zee to it that good
work is done and more of it. For in
this, our Item of good roads, there is
more direct good to the farming commu-
nifty than any other benefit derived from
taxation.

is cordially invited to attend the exer

]. H. Sherar of Sherar's Bridge one of
Wasco Co.'s prominent citizens and
largest sheep raisers, was taking in the
sights in town today, and from his smil-
ing countenance we were led to believe
tnat somebody would be made happy
with nice Christmas present, for j. H.
remembers the poor.
Last evening the stores were crowded
with people making purchases for
Christmas, al the town had lively
appearance. The postmaster and assist
ants are doing heavy work with the
Christmas mail, while the express Office
has its busiest season. Tomorrow is the
gladdest day of all the year, and the prep
arations for it gives untold pleasure.
The passenger train from the east was
an hour and half late in reaching The
Dalles this morning. The delay was
caused by severe storm in the Blue
mountains, which caused the snow to
gather in the cuts and cover the track in
many places. The rotary plow preceded
the passenger train from La Grande to
Pendleton. A snow blockade hasn't
much of show against rotary, though
it could give bother enough to the old
fashioned plows.
Mr.. G. F. Stephens proved to be the
lucky man IN the raffiing for the picture
painted by Mrs. John Filloon and on
exhibition in the Snipes- Kinersly drug
store. Ticket number % proved to be
the winner, and this was held by Mr..
Stephens. According to the rules of
the drawing as many cents were paid
for ticket as the number indicated,
and 80 Mr.. Stephens ticket cost him but
twenty-five cents. The picture is a very
handsome one and possesses much artis-
tic merit. It was premium-taker at
the fair last October.
A crowd of spectators was interested
in watching some huge beeves hoisted
on to the hooks IN Wood Bros butcher
shop this morning. The beeves dressed
to an average of 1900 pounds, and as
there were three of them, the space in
the shop was pretty well taken. Mr..
Wood says these steers were the larg-
est ever brought to The Dalles, and
came from Malheur county. They are
truly a sight worth Witnessing, and
strong evidence of what the buncherass
country of Eastern Oregon can do in the
way of big productions.
DIR. Sutherland, who is attending little
Constance French, used today for the
first time in The Dalles, the anti-toxin
treatment, the discussion of which has
occupied the attention of the medical
world every since its discovery The
percentage of fatal endings of this dread
disease has been greatly lessened, medi-
cal authorities claim, by the use of anti
toxin and there are those who believe it
one of the greatest discoveries of the
century: DR.. Sutherland is great be-
lever in its efficacy, and is hopeful for
good results in the present instance.
