The Lutheran church on Union
street is now rapidly nearing compile
tion, and is not only credit to the
city, but is compliment to the zeal
and energy of Rev. L. Gray, through
whose efforts it has been built. But
the work is not all done, nor the ex-
pense provided for. The church must
be furnished with seats. an organ,
lights, etc., and this will cost from $500
to ST. 900. The Lutheran ladies of The
Dalles have taken it upon themselves
to furnish the new church, and pro-
pose to raise the necessary funds by
giving bazar some time this fall.
The Lutherans are we'll represented in
The Dalles, numbering among their
congregation many of the most honest,
energetic and law abiding citizens,
and are worthy of aid in this laudible
effort, since they are always ready to
help others. 1t is to be hoped the
baLar will be we'll pauronised and that
the Lutheran ladies will be able to ac-
complish the purpose they have un-
dartaken.

that the flanges of the wheels would
pass over the rails. Evidently he was

under the cars where the engine left
the track.
When the engine went off the rails
it circled around to the right. falling

the left side and stopped some 20 feet
from the rails, while one box car was
thrown from the trucks and left stand
ing on the track. and two other cars
were demolished.
Drs. Logan and Doane were taken
up on special at an early hour Monday
morning to attend the wounded men.
They found Mr.. Hockman's injuries
so serious that it was deemed advis-
able to take him to the hospital at
Portland. He was taken to Portland
on No. l, accompanied by DR.. Logan
and his brother. J. D. Hickman, of
this city. Mr.. Hickman is member
of Friendship Lodge, No. 3, K. of P,

Let's fear From The Committee.


Some two or three months ago the
Commercial Club held a meeting for
the purpose OF inquiring into the feasi-
bility of building a railroad from The
Dalles to Deschutes. and up that river
to the free bridge. At that meeting a
committee was appointed to take steps
to have a survey made and ascertain
the cost of building the road.
l have not heard anything from the
committee since. have askel several
why the committee did not make re-
port. I am satisfied the committee
has reasonable excuse for not making
report, and that as soon as they can
get to it they will do so, but they
should make some sort of statement
so that the people will not lose interest
in the road, until such time as the
committee is able to submit full re-
port.

from Portland on Sept. 5 for Alaska.
writes from Skaguay under date of
Sept. Is, stating that he and Mrs. But
Ter had most enjoyable trip all the
way from the mouth of the river to
their destination. The sea voyage
was magnificent one, there being no
storms to mar their pleasure.
Several stops were made along the
route, though the most of them were
at unimportant points until Metlakal-
tia was reached. At this point DR..
Duncan has lot of Indians colonized,
and they have churches, schools and
salmon cannery. The place is thriv-

Elder, stopped at Ft. Wrangel. at the
mouth of Stikeen river. where three of
the passengers stopped, expecting to
go up the Stikeen and across the pass
to the Yukon.
MIR. and Mrs. Butler landed at SGag
uay on the 18th, just week after leav-
ing Portland, and are by no means
favorably impressed with the climate
there, rain having fallen every day,
and continuous wind having blown.
Mr.. Butler says Skaguay is destined
to be a city of considerable Importance.
There are 100 houses under course of
construction, and everybody there is
busy. Carpenters receive from S. to
S. day, and any kind of labor is paid
81 day.
He says all kinds of reports can be
heard in Skaguay, and all kinds of
conditions exist. People are both
coming and going. Some are turning
back discouraged, and others are ar
irving on every boat, ready to brave
the periis of gold hunting III Alaska.
