Places of Amusement.

Halles people are unit in the opin'
ion that this city requires better
arranged theater than either of the
buildings donated to that purpose, and
are ever ready to make suggestions as
to the need Of better play house, for
all recognize that a first class theater
would not only be good ADVERTISE
ment for the city, but that it is neces-
ready to invest anything in a theater
building, though many would give it q
liberal patronage if it we're fitted up
in an attractive style, and good at.
fractions are secured. Few, however,
consider what the furnishing of q
theater means in dollars and cents or
what small revenue could be realized
on the investm ent. 1t is questionable
if the Vogt opera house has ever paid
interest on what it cost or ever will,
still Mr.. Vogt is progressive and
would no doubt put it in better repair
were he assured of realizing anything
like q reasonable interest on his in
vestment. Therefore the Times.
Mountaineer desires to make the sug-
gestion that the talent of The Dalles
agree to give at least two entertain
ments year for the benefit of the
opera house, the proceeds to be given
to Mr.. Vogt for the purpose of i'm.
proving the building. If this were
done it is quiet certain Mr.. Vogt
would soon make the opera house as
good as it was before the fire which
made it pile of ruins.

A startling incident, of which Mr..

tinually in back and sides, no appe-

trying Electric B.tters; and to my
great joy and surprise, the first bottle

Railroad Rumors.

W. J. Mariner and J. A. Smith. OF
Blalock, N. G.. Blalock of Walla
Walla. and S. McCabe.an eastern
railroad man were in town last Fri.
day night having driven through
from Pendleton by private con.
veyence. The gentlemen were not
very communicative as to the object of
their trip. but it is understood here
that they are looking into the pros
and cons of railroad proposition, the
object of which will be to tap Condor,
and the rich wheat belt adjacent there
to. If built, the road will be part of
the proposed boat line and portage
railway system of transportation on
the Colum bia river, and will be one of
the most important feeders of that
system. There appears to be a good
prospect that the transportation ques-
tfon, for this section OF Gillian county,
is getting in good shape for speedy
solution.-Condon Globe.

Circus Day.

No attraction has ever been in The
Dalles that drew larger crowd than

was full or people from everywhere
tributary to the city, and all pronoun-
ced the parade the largest they had

The wonderful effects of this great "Dis-

are not due to any false or alcoholic stimu-
