Remember that on Friday and Satur-
day of this week you will be spared the

pies, cakes, etc.
1t is to be hoped that our people have
not allowed the numerous attractions
which have visited our city to entirely
shut out the fact that the greatest event
of the season is to take place Friday
evening at the Vogt, when Jackson En-
gine Co. give their grand ball. Make
preparations to attend.
We have had surfeit of travelling
shows for some time past sbut at present
none are billed to appear earlier than
February, when McEwen, the hypnotist,
who caused such sensation on his pre-
vious visit 10 the city, will again be with
us. He is now in Victoria, B. c., where
he is attracting large audiences.
Low prices are not the only attraction
offered by Pease and Mays, the interior
decorations of the store being we'll
worth a visit. The different depart
ments are tastefully arranged with holi-
day goods. The grocery department is
particularly pleasing in it's holiday dress
of fir boughs, mistletoe and holly.
Apparently the Oregon Telephone &
Telegraph Co. has awakened to the
importance OF Ibe Dalles as telephone
center. This is evidenced in their recent
improvements and new construction.
The opening of an all-night service, the
replacing of Blake transmitters by solid
back, long distance transmitters, reduc-
tion in rentals and the new Dufur line
all point to the one thing.
