Agreat many Pacific coast people,
when contemplating a trip east and
when bringing friends west, know
very little about the interior lines, and
the object of this article is to afford re-
liable information.
In the first place for good time and
service select route via St. Paul and
Minneapolis, because the lines that
way are continuous under one system
without any change of cars, and every
man from peanut agent up, is cour-
teous, reliable and experienced officer,
ready to aid and protect you in every
emergency and capable of making you
feel at; home and comfortable during
the long journey. Then see that your
ticket reads via the Wisconsin Cen
tral lines, because that thoroughfare
affords strictly first-class service, and
the meals on its dining cal always
reasonable in price, are equalled by
few ard excelled by none. Geo. S.
Batty, 246 Stark. St., Portland, Or, is
general agen. for this company and
will cheerfully furnish you neat and
handy calendar and full information
on the subject of transportation, if ad-
dressed or called upon, and any agent
will upon application, sell you ticket
over the Wisconsin Central Linesx

At high noon today, at the residence
of Judge and Mrs. J.L. Story, in this
city, their eldest daughter, Miss Clara
Bell Story was unitedin marriage with
Mr.. Fred W. Wilson, by Rev. ". c.
Curtis. pastor of the Congregational
church, in the presence of immediate
relatives and a few invited guests.
Seldom is it the pleasant duty of the
reporter to record SO happy wedding
of two such worthy and generally re-
spected young people. Both are well
known to the entire community and
include all residents of The Dalles in
their circle of acquaintances. Almost
their entire lives have been spent i'll
this city, and they have grown from
childhood to the high position they
occupy in society here. Fora number
of years Mr.. Wilson has occupied the
position of assistant cashier in French
4 Cos. bank, and by his stri ct busi-
ness methods and exemplary life has
won the respect and confidence of all
with whom he has come in contact,
and his bride is one of The Dalles'
most charming daughters, whose
friends are legion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson, amid shower
of rice and good wishes, took the after
noon train for a weeks sojourn in
Portland, when they will return to
the pleasant home Mr.. Wilson has
prepared in this city.

HE DIDN'T SAY 1T.
Senator Dufur Never offered to Surrender
the Portage Bill.

Senator Dufur Never offered to Surrender
the Portage Bill.
The following unwarranted state
ment appeared a few days since in the
Salem Journal:
81 throw my bill for portage rail-
road to relieve the farmers of Eastern
Oregon to the dogs. What Oregon
needs is funding bill senator to help
the Pacific railroads rob the farmers.
Senator Dufur."
To this the Salem Statesman replies:
"Senator Dufur has never, since his
arrival in Salem as representative
from Wasco, Gillian and Sherman
counties, either in the lobby, in joint
convention, on the senate floor. in
committee room, nor in the environ
ments of his social life here, given ut
terance to anything that by any possi-
BILE contrivance or contortion could be
construed into declaration such as he
is here lyingly charged with uttering.
"The portage railway bill now before
the senate, is the dearest purpose of
his heart and he has done all an active.
jealous and conscientious representa-
tive could do to further its destiny.
1.-THE context in the foully. inspired
paragraph contains a sentiment he has
never in his life endorsed or sought to
promulgate, privately or publicly. The
quotation is gratuitous in every line
and syllable and could have found pub
licityin no other paper in the state"

NO CLOCKS THERE.

There are no clocks in gambling

There's reason for this and a good one.

Tribune.

them the other morning-early morn
ing-as he pulled diamond studded
watch from his pocket and answered
the question.
''Why don't we have a clock hanging
up?" he continued. cause they cost
money. 1 don't mean it takes more
than the result of one deal to pay for
one of 'em in the first place, but they're
expensive in the end. You see it's this
way: If we had ticker on the wall
and fellow had promised to be home
on the last car, and happened to look
up and see that he had seven minutes
to catch that car. why, it's nearly an
even thing that he'd quit us and go
home. That sort of business would
soon burst US up. If he doesn't know
what the time is he misses his car, then
ne doesn't give a rap what time he
goes; he generally waits for the cable
to start,again. That's where our soft
money comes in; men get reckless as
the morning dawns.
mo, sir; no clocks on my wall. I'm
not going to fix things SO that a man
will have to lie to his wife when he
tells her he didn't know what the time
vas. : 1 don't like liar nohow."
And Mr.. Surething pulled his watch
out of his pocket and told man who
had just arisen from poker table that
1T is just 2:56, Sir" The man NUT
tered: Missed it," and bought another
tack.

TO WIPE OUT SALOONS.
The Washington House Passes the Dis
pensary Bill.

The Washington House Passes the Dis
pensary Bill.
Washington is on the verge of wip-
ing out all of her saloons and whole
sale liquor houses by adopting a pro-
hibitory law similar to that governing
the sale of liquors in South Carolina.
The dispensary act, known as the
Cline bill, passed the house Tuesday
by vote of Al ayes to 30 noes, much
to the surprise of the house itself. The
measure was supported by nearly all
the niddle-of-the-road populists and
by few silver republicans. The pro-
posed .aw puts the full control of the
liquor traffic in the hands of the gov
ernor, hut eliminates from the South
Carulim law the profit system that
brings hat state an enormous revenue.
The Washington bill provides that
the governor shall appoint a state
conmisbn, with in turn shall appoint
county commissioners, and they in
turn appint local Dispensers. All
liquor binr handled through the
stat commission, with a sufficient
profit attached to pay all of the ex-
pense of the different boards and dis
pensatories. No liquor is sold at re-
tail to be drunk upon the premises,
and minors and drunkards are pro-
hibited under penalties against state
agents from receiving it. Liquor is to
be sold only in quantities of not less
than a pint nor more than five gallons.

stabb,ng Array at Cleveland.

At mask ball given at Cleveland,
in Klickitat county last Monday even
ing, Frank CASTLE and John Beck be-
came engaged in an alteration over
the identity of masler, and in. the
trouble that followed Beck was stabbed
to death. The Goldendale Sentinel
says CASTLE came to that city on Tues
day and surrendered himself to Sheriff
Stimson. The preliminary examina-
tion had not yet been held when the
Sentinel was issued on Wednesday,
though it states that CASTLE will offer
a plea of self-defense as an excuse for
his killing Beck. Castillo is cripple,
his right hand being disabled, and the
many bruises about his face and body
indicate that he had engaged in a Sc
we're encounter.

so severely stunned that he was inser-
sible, but when he regained conscious
ness, his horse was no where to be
be seen, and his head and face was
severely bruised, though his injuries
are not dangerous. At a house near

To Cut Down the Appropriation.

In the state senate yesterday Sen
ator Harmon. of the committee on
commerce and navigation, reported a
substitute for Michell's bill relative to
the portage railway between The
Dalles and Cello. The substitute re
duces the amount of the appropriation
asked for from s195,OOO to 100000.
There are also several other minor
changes. The substitute was referred
to the committee. on railroads. This
action was no doubt taken on the roo
ommendation of Engineer Lowell, who
accompanied the senate when they Wis
tied the proposed portage, and con-
sidered $4,000 sufficient to construct
and equip the road.
