A gentleman from The Dalles, who
was at Moro the day the Columbis
Southern was completed to that place
gives the following account of the
celebration:
The last spike was driven at P. NJ.
Dec, 14th, and amid all kinds OF noise
the first train pulled into Moro.
After the first excitement was over
and the people Of Moro began to fully
realize that they had railroad lead,
ihg into their thriving little city, the
wants of the men who did the work on
the road were considered, and ban.
quet was given them at the City Hotel
J. J. Wiley's shot water" sanitarium.
Supper was served to about 70 men,
ana it is needless to say that all did
justice to the bountiful spread. After
the banquet toasts were in order, and
D. C.. O'Riley, manager of the road,
made few well chosen remarks con-
cerning the construction of the line.
Then J. G. Lewis, road master, eulo.
gized all who were connected with the
building of the Columbia Southern,
and made many amusing references to
the funny incidents connected there
with. Numerous others spoke, but
space will not permit giving more
names. A conspicuous feature of the
banquet was the good feeling that was
manifest between the officers of the
road and the men employed thereon.

ATROCITIES IN CHINA.

Yumantze's Rebels Are Carrying a
War of determination.
TACOMA, Dec. 16.-The steamer EN-
press of India brings news from Chung
King, China, via Shanghai that bust
ness is still paralyzed throughout the
Western Chinese province of Szchuen
because of the depredations of Yu-
mantle and his band of 5000 rebels,
who are thoroughly disciplined and
wear a uniform having for its distin-
gushing feature the Chinese charac-
ter meaning "Avenge.' They are
determined to rid China of all foreign
ers, and to stamp out the Christian
religion.
There are 5000 Catholic refugees in
Chung King, and the property destroy
ed by the rebels is estimated at 5000
600 tales. During their raids they
haye rendered 10000 people, mostly
native Christians, homeless, and 81
lives have been taken, including those
of several European missionaries.
Yumaptze recently beheaded two
Catholic missionaries, which the city
of Yuinchuan gave up to him as host
ages. He offered them their lives if
they would renounce their religion.
They refused.

Passes Will BE Scarce.

Railroad passes will be scarce after
January l next if the agreement en-
tered into by ffty-three western roads
is strictly adhered to. By its pro-
visions the privilege of issuing passes
will be taken out of the hands of the
officers of the individual roads and
turned over to committees, the ap-
proval of which must be obtained be-
fore any transportation can be secured
by anybody except the higher officers
of the larger railway systems. These
pass-auditing committees will be
located in Chicago, Omaha, ST. Louis,
St. Paul, Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Fort Worth ard Houston, Texas.
1t covers the issuance of both annual
monthly and time passes. No free
transportation will be given to en-
ployes of foreign road unless the re-
quest is signed by the president, vice.
president, general manager and gener-
al superintendent of the applying line.

ways, refrigerator and tank lines and
coal agents are cut off.
Business men, shippers or others in

A Complete Success.

Last night was the closing evening
of the Methodist fair, and was we'll at
tended. The exercises were highly
appreciated by all who attended, aad
no one went away feeling that he had
not been we'll entertained. The pro-
gram opened with an instrumental
duet by Benton and Long, that was a
master piece. and the Scotch song
by Mr.. George Weigle and Miss Hilda
Beck was very much appreciated.
Will Crossen, in his negro sketch did
exceptionally we'll, and tie lantern
swinging by Messrs. Van Norden,
Campbell and Pruyne was good, while
Clarke and Hampshire, in their Dutch
sketch, were simply superb. The en-
tertainment given during the entire
fair was first class, and financially, it
was qufte a success, hence the ladies
of the M. E. church may congragulate
themselves upon having done excep-
tionally we'll at their fair, having
pleased everybody, and also made
some revenue for the church.

One of the coldest days of last week,
one of the Mesplie boys found a young
bear on their farm seven miles up Mill
creek, and securing gun soon dis

the bear he left it lying in the brush,

bear up the creek and requested that
he go and watch it while he pro-

KlOndVkian Cold.

In warm climate, such as
ours, ice is an absolutely ne
cessity as a food preserver
and a means towards preserv-
ing an equal temperature of
body and mind. Ice chests
and refrigerators are no long
er luxury but necessity
and the wise woman always
selects the best for her house
hold. This undoubtedly is
the Alaska as experience has
proved.
The ALASKA is constructed
upon strictly scientific prin-
cipals, by which low tempera-
ture and dryness of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tanned.
The ALASKA has preserved
fresh meats perfectly for three
weeks in the hottest weather
and produces better results
with less ice than any other.
The ALASKA has the only
provision chamber free from
odor, for between the outer
and inner walls there is an
inch and a half space filled
with pure charcoal, and ex-
perience has convinced all that
the ALASKA is without doubt,
the best refrigerator on the
market, in construction, in
preserving perishable goods,
in economy of ice, and in all
points necessary to make
them first class.
We have them in several
sizes, at from $15 to $25 and
also keep the ALASKA IoE

A young native woman appeared
before the District Court this morn
ing on very grave charge. She
is accused OF having forged the
name Of the Hon. David Kahaulelio
to check on Bishop & Co. Bishop
& Co. cashed the bogus check and
found out later that the honorable
representative hasn't got bean to
his credit in the bank and that even
if his signature on the check was
genuine it wouldn't have been worth
an obolus. The woman will have a
trial next week, and it will be inter
esting to hear the honorable repre-
sentative explaining the connections
between him and the lady which
have led to the alleged forgery.

The main issue before the asso-
citation is the question of the labor
supply and some very remarkable
statements have been made accord
ing to the newspaper reports. Mr..
Baldwin, it is said, suggested, that
he was dead against contract labor,
but he had no doubt that we could
follow in the footsteps OF the
Louisiana planters and get suffi-
cient supply by smuggling in con-
tract laborers.

We do not blame Mr.. Baldwin for
his position taken. He can natural
ly no longer agree with the interests
of the native Hawaiians, and he
finds it necessary to break promises
and violate our statutes, on his noble
mission in .piling up dividends and
sending his slaves forth to the old
world to bring thence laborers who,
shortly after their landing on our
shores, will realize that they are
suffering under deliberate falsehoods
and then find themselves "dead-
broke"
