look is bright for the organization of the
church.
The secretary of the Commercial Club
has received letter from Mr.. ]. H. D..
Gray, of the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce, relative to making arrangements
for celebrating the opening OF the locks.
The letter states that the people of As
toria are taking great interest in the
completion of the undertaking that will
free the Columbia from The Dalles to
the sea, and are anxious to cooperate
in celebrating the affair in fitting
manner. Mr.. Gray suggests that the
Commercial Club of The Dalles appoint
one or two gentlemen who will meet in
Portland a like number from Astoria,
and that this joint committee obtain all
possible information as to the day when
the contractors expect that boats will
pass through the canal. Astoria people
are anxious that our commercial club
consider the matter at an early date and
make ready to cooperate in a jollifica-
ton. "Astoria," says Mr.. Gray, will
send two or three boat-loads of people
to witness the first boat go through the

ett left Saturday evening
for Washington, D. c., where he goes to
argue some cases in the United States
supreme court. Among the cases in
which he will appear is the case of
Skottowe VS.. the railroad company, be-
ing an action for damages growing out
of an accident which happened in The
Dalles several years ago. While walk
ing at night on the railroad bridge lead
ing to the shops, Mr.. and Mrs. Skottowe
tell off the bridge and sustained injuries,
from which Mr.. Skottowe died, and
which caused Mrs. Skottowe great suf-
fering. The case was first tried in The
Dalles, and has passed through various
bunai in the land.
The clothing merchants have agreed
to close their housee of business at
O'Clock on evenings except Saturday
from now until March 1st. In Satur-
days issue it was said that Mr.. Stephens
would close his store at an early hour,
but it should have been stated that the
other merchants will join in the early
closing movement. The mistake arose
in Misunderstanding the notice which
Mr.. Stephens gave the paper. This
early closing movement is wise one,
one and will give employers and clerks
more time for recreation, and just as
much business will be done in the course
of the day. We hope to see the early
closing become general in all the busi-
ness houses of the town.
The Indians up at Tumwater are fall
ing in line with their more civilized
brothers and sisters in The Dalles, and
indulging in social festivities. Last
night dance was held at Tumwater,
which was attended by the Cello, Tum-
water and Dalles Indians. Old Joe,
who is our informant, says the dance
was ttennas" affair, as there are but
few Indians now in the country, and
judging from Joe's description, the
dance did not have the eclat that such
affairs possessed in the early days, The
smell of salmon was more noticeable
than the odor of war paint-if war paint
has any odor-and the braves and
squaws did not dance with the same
vigor as did their ancestors of fifty
years ago. However, the dance kept
up all night, and the boys went home
with the girls in the morning.
Last Saturday evening a meeting was
held in the First Baptist church to see
what could be done towards organizing
a Lutheran church, at which both Eng
lish and Lutherans- could worship.
Quite number of people attended the
meeting and the opinion expressed was
unanimous that an endeavor should be
made to form the organization. A tenn.
porary committee, consisting of Messrs,
Nicklesop, Hansen and Melquist was
appointed to take charge of the prelimi-
nary arrangements. It is probable ar
ticles of incorporation will be prepared
and filed within few days. 1t is the
intention to secure church property al
an early date. Next Tuesday evening

necessary that the office be kept open.
The members of the Gesang Verein
held one of their regular socials last
evening at the Baldwin theater.
large number OF members were in at
tendance. In the early part of the even
ing the singers, under the leadership of
Professor Birgfeld, rendered some pleas
ing selections, after which time of So
ciability was spent by the members.
The occasions of their monthly socials
are very pleasant to the members of the
society.
Hard times are beginning to make in
roads on the legal profession. Last
week an attorney from Butte, who was
down on his luck, stopped in The Dalles
and was assisted to Portland through
the beneVolence of local attorneys. This
morning barrister from our sister state
appeared upon the scene and solicited
aid because of his demoralized finances.
Ill health and bad investments are what
brought him to the condition of having
to ask assistance from the profession.
He was helped by some of his compass
sionate brethern.
The weather is all that could be de-
sired for the work at the locks. So far
this winter there have been but few
days when outside work could not be
carried on to advantage. When the
snow storm of last month came, it was
thought work would be hindered, and
preparations were made to put things in
winter quarters. The scare was not
lasting, however, and the engines and
men are at work again. Unless the
rest of the winter is unusually disa-
greeable, the contractors cannot COM
plain but what Nature has favored
them.
Tomorrow evening the lecture of Hon.
D. P. Thompson will occur at the Con-
gregational church. The subject will
be "The Holy Places of Palestine" and
will be replete with personal observa-
tions of the lecturer. Mr.. Thompson
has travelled extensively, and used his
powers of observation to their limit.
This will be fourth lecture in the winter
COURSE, anu Will prove one OF the most
interesting. Mr.. Thompson has Iectured
before to Dalles audiences, and made a
pleasing impression. Doors will open
at 80 tomorrow night, the lecture to
begin at s.
January and February are generally
regarded as quiet months in business
circles, being between two lively periods,
the holidays and the opening OF the
spring trade. The weather is generally
more or less unpleasant, and the farm
ers come to town no oftener than is nee
essary, while city folk like the comfort
of home better than the slush of the
streets or the feeling of the atmosphere
when the thermometer is lying low.
With business quiet, more attention is
given to social affairs, and these two
months society rules. The latter part
of December, with its three large dances,
was lively period socially, and the
present month promises well in- that
line. Some large affairs are being con-
templated, while number of smaller
functions will occur. Several after
