Commissioner Evans has been instructed
to procure the necessary right of way as
required by law. His report will proba-
bly, be presented at the next term of court.
In looking over today's Oregonian we
came across large cut, which was sup
posed to represent Hon. Albert s..
Roberts, joint representative of Wasco
and Sherman counties. However, like
the school boys picture of a COW, it had
to be labeled before any of his friends
could tell who it was. We claim Mr..
Roberts as Dallesite, and are proud to
do so; but always thought him good
looking enough to sic for his own photo
graph.
G. B. Durbln lost nearly his entire
band of thoroughbred Spanish and De-
laine bucks at Prairie City recently. He
says he thinks they were poisoned
by strychnine. DIR. Belkuap examined
the stomachs and found the mucous
membrane eaten out and the entraiIs
were pefectlY smooth and white. If the
cause had been due to alkali the en-
trails would have shown presence of
grit. This is quite loss to Mr.. DurbiD,
as he had band of 400 head, Gays the

IThe action of the council last night in
regard to lighting our streets with arc
fights will meet the approval Of a long,
Suffering public, who have been clamor-
sing for more light eyer since they have
been deprived of what was the pride of
the city-the arc lights. While ap-
preciating the tact that the council did
what they deemed expedient for the well
fare of the city, it was question in
many minds whether in the long run
it was not a mistake to remove them.
1t is therefore hoped that ere long we
will bask in the brilliant light afforded
Nby the electric current and cease cropping
n darkness.
On Thursday evening the Coium bia
river branch of theWoman' Foreign Mis-
sionary Society Of the NJ. E. church will
kconvene in this city, continuing over
Sunday. 1t is expected that about
seventyfve delegates from Oregon,
washington, Idaho and Montana will be
present, and for some weeks past the
ladies of that society have been prepar-
ing entertainment for their guests. An
excellent program has been prepared fol
each meeting, and as two or three return
missionaries will be IN attendance and
give addresses on their work, all GER
tainly will be interested and entertained
! The public is invited to be present.
If any who have been accustomed to
paying dollar for any kind of enter
tainment worth listening to, attended the
concert given by the Tennessee Students
last night with the expectation of hear.
ing twenty-fve-cent show, they were
pleasantly disappointed. The members
of this company have fine voices, anC
the singing was worth double the price
OF admission, while their selections
include a number of the very lates
songs. Their choruses were particular
ly good, perhaps the most pleasing be-
ing ''Those Ding Dong Bells" although
many OF them were worthy of mention
The male trio was excellent and wa
compelled to answer several encores
Some of the dancing was tirst-class, es-
pecially that of Susie Williams, who il
also the contralto singer. Another en-
tertainment will be given tonight, anC
those who failed to attend last nigh
should hear them tonight.
