MISSION AT DALLES.
Father Iesplic's Death Revives
Bit Of F,nrIy History

Apropos of Father Mespies death an
interesting bit Of early history was told
by c. w. Denton, says the Dalles Chron-
icle. In 1851 or 90. just which year Mr..
Denton could not determine, Father Mes
pile came to The Dalles. In 1852 he began
the erection of mission buildings, which
were completed with the aid of c. w.
Denton and Edward Crate. These two
men did the greater part of the labor,
and the work was done in rapid time,
considering the crude materials at hand.
The matter OF a steeple was easily Set
tied. for close to one corner stood a
large tree, high in the branches of
which the church bell was placed. Here
it's sound was frequently heard through
the many years the mission buildings
were used. Father Mesplie was an in
defatigable worker and soon his labors
made a deep impress upon the savages
who came under his influence. The site
of this early mission is q familiar one
to residents of The Dalles. The buildings
were located about mile west from
town. a short distance from where the
Catholic cemetery now is. The NUMBER of
Indians baptized there runs up into the
thousands The Dalles being the head
quarters of work for many years. After
the mission was abandoned, the church
building remained standing rlany years
till at last time and weather wrought its
destruction

for the great fight went on amid the
thunder of cannon and the roar of ex-
piodfng batteries.
The hazardous work of laying the pom.
toon bridges were frequently interrupted
by the murderous fire of Confederate
sharpshooters concealed in the stores and
drinking houses along the bank of the
river: and TO dislodge these men and
drive them permanently from their bid
ing places, seemed almost an impossible
ty. AT a given signal our union batteries
opened terrific fire upon the city,
crashing through the walls of houses
and public buildings not sparing the
churches in which human slavery had
been upheld as one of the paramount
blessings of Christianity; but in this
storm of shot and shell, which pIoughed
the streets and set the buildings on fire,
the SharpShooters survived. like sala-
manders in the flames, and continued to
pour deadly fire upon our engineers
and bridge builders.

Gods and Society Have Entered

ST. PAUL RACES NEXT
CYCLING TOGS BECOME SKATING
COSTUMES.
nIOon.er Girl Has Taken Hold of
the Fad With Great Tenacity,
and WIFI Hang on as Long as the
Ice Holds Out-SOme OF the Cracks

NEW YORK. Dec. FIT looks as
if the gods and society had entered
into a combination this year to boom
the grand old sport of skating and
make it as popular as bicycling or
golfing. The weather sharps all over
the skateable parts Of the country
agree that there will be an abundance
of ice this winter. and the skating
sharps say that this means the smash
ing of all records foom fifty yards to
one bundled miles.
The fact that the society folks of
New York have built a fine skating
rink whera they can enjoy their fun
protected by a steam-heated tempera-
ture and sheltered by stone and iron
walls from the rest of the world.
gives the sport an Official distinction
which it never before enjoyed.
More than that. the bloomer Sirl has
taken hold Of skating, and whatever
that daring young person attached her
self to is bound to be a success. Not a
single. solitary pair of boomers orna-
mented any Of the skating lakes or
ponds around New York last year,
but a twelvemonth has worked a Won
deTful difference. And they are not
ordinary bicycle boomers. either, al
though many young women have con-
verted their wheeling logs into skating
costumes with few alterations.
The skating boomers are nothing
more than loose-fitting knickerbockers
made of heavy Woo'tn stuff of any
color. 4 double breasted jacket, a
Tam-o'-Shanter hat and leggings
complete the dress. This is an ex-
tren.e costume. The other, and the
more popular. is quite similar to the
dress OF the cycling bloomerite. The
boomers are hidden by skirt which
comes within an inch or two of the
