Under the head of ;'Another Man

lately in the employ of A. B. Colby q
Co., liquor dealers of Portland, has

ment. Thayer is we'll known in The

The only representative of Rossland
sent to the recent Christian Endeavor

ing by the q. P. to San Francisco,

There is but one matter OF consO-
lation for The Dalles with regard to
the failure of firemen from different |
cities to accept the invitation of this
city to come here and contest for the |
different prizes. 1t is that The Dalles
team holds the championship cup. and
will continue to pose as the champions
of the state Indefinitely, or until some
team comes here and wins it from them
in race for the cup and nothing more.

Phelps determination to leave The

Heprner upon this acquisition to the
legal fraternity of their city, and
recommends Mr.. Phelps as
, thorough reliable and competent at
5orney.
Since the firemens' tournament has
been declared off, the only hope of any
special event in The Dalles this fall
reverts to a district fair and racing
season. Over $1,000 was subscribed
or the tournament, though unfortu-
,ately cannot be used for that purpose.
70 why not attempt to have rousing
Dig fair and series of races? Certainly
81 900 can be raised for purses, and
With the 81 800 appropriated by the state
or the district fair, would give a
fund for the enterprise.
It appears to be "all off" with candi- i
lates for federal appointments in this
tate just like it is with The Dslles'
ournament. The delegation could
ot agree whom they would recon-
lend, so Congressman Tongue skipped
ut of Portland yesterday morning for :
is quiet reteat at Hillsboro, to re-
operate from his siege with the Office
sekers in Portland. 1t is suggested
aat the delegation charter a tug and
0 out over the bar at the mouth of the =
where they can be free from
lie army of place hunters, and quietly s
whom they will endorse.
