business in The Dalles, came down
this morning to attend the funeral of
his brother-in-law Charles Johnston.
Polk Butler the we'll known Nansene
farmer, lie in the city. He has few
complaints to make and registers q
kick only against the poor condition
of the roads and the over abundance
Of moisture.

ant call at the Mountaineer Office TO-
day. He is spending few days in the

River, and to inform her of the death
of her father, Capt. Waud. They will

Miss Florence v. Wells, aged %,
. Baker City stenographer, recently

The Business Mems carnival will be
given on Tuesday, Dec. 18th, instead
of the 11th, as previously announced.
The Carnival has been given in a
great many other cities and always
proves great success judging from
the interest taken by our business men
and the young ladies taking part the
reputation Of the entertainment will
lie sustained here.
William Hanley, q stockman of Har-
ney county, has shipped % carloads of
cattle to Grande Ronde valley for
feeding. The band which numbers
600 head, has been taken to the Nc
Connell place out in the valley. Mr..
Hanley has returned to his home near
Burns and will In short time make
another shipment Of stock to that sec.
tion similar to the first one.
The Chinese, who for years have
taken out millions of dollars from the
rich placer mines near Sumpter will
soon have to resort to other means OF
making living as the white men who
own the ground find that with modern
means of working the mines they can
make much greater profit than by
leasing the land to the celestials, and
when this is done they will be able to
realize the real wealth of these mines.
Mrs. Jack Parker, of Heppner, q
young bride attempted suicide We'd
nesday night by taking almost an
ounce of carbolic acid. Doctors were
summoned aDd after several hours
work stated that the patient showed
favorable symptoms and might recover.
No cause for the rash act Is g;von
more than that the young wife is but a
mere child and may have been the
victim of an imaginary rather than a
real wrong.
Coroner Butts was called to Cascade
Locks last night to hold an inquest over
the remains of an unknown man who
was killed near that place, as near as
we could learn, by being ran over by
train. The message simply stated that
the victim was stranger and quite
young, but as Mr. Butts left on the early
morning train and has not yet returned
nothing futher could be learned. It is
likely that it is another case of where
someone fell from breakbeam, while
stealing ride.

Last evening The Dalles and vicin-
ity experienced marked climatic
change. The continuous rain fall
which has been causing so many to
complain ceased and q marked change
towards winter weather was noted
by everyone. A heavy frost, the first
of the season covered the ground this
morning and it looks as If the rainy |
season which so much resembles the
western Oregon fall and winter has
ended, and that our usual winter
is now in order.
