thing about 'scould we but fathom
the mighty deep," the remainder joining
in the chorus. Fishing is all right in
Mill creek, but catching is where the
shoe pinches.
Cedar Circle has always been famous
for the entertainments given under her
auspices, and no order can excel the
programs which are gotten up principal
ly within her own circle. Last night an
extra fine program was rendered, several |
persons taking part who have not often |
been heard by Dalles people, and each
number seemed to be especially well
chosen and as we'll given. AT the close
of the entertainment an hour or so was
spent in dancing, the music being fur
nished by Mr.. Lynch and Mrs. F. Mene-
fee./
The Wardner News Gays: tt'The
Mobiles Dramatic company opened in
Pythian hall last Monday night with
''The Strategiets" and will close tonight
with Lucky Ranch" No company
ever visited Wardner with more satlsfac-
tory results to its patrons than, the
Nobles.s Thew have alarge repertoire of
comedies and dramas such as suit the
popular taste and upon every presenta-I
ton they produce specialtiee between
acts which never fail to please. The
Mobiles have fine solo band which is
drawing card in itself. The company
has made an excellent impression in
Wardner, where they have had good
house every night and the News takes
I pleasure in recommending them to the
public wherever they may CO."
Some weeks ago Mrs. Ed Waud, whose
home was directly across Mill creek
bridge, died, leaving to the mercies of
husband scarcely worthy of the name,
young babe and four children besides.
Great sympathy was felt by neighbors
for the little ones, and since the mother
was taken away efforts have been made
to in some way provide homes for them.
Finally the case was submitted to the
l'county judge with a request that three
kof them-Grace, aged 6; Katie, aged 8,
and Emma, weeks old, be sent to the
Boys and Girls Aid Society of Portland,
the complaint alleging that the father
was unkind to them and took no care
of them whatever. Monday, the 18th,
is the day appointed for the hearing of
the case and the decision as to whether
they will be sent to the society. It is to
be hoped that something will be done
| for the children.
Occasionally Dalles people have dittle
variation in the regular program, and
awaken some morning to find that a
store, chop, or some place of business
has been opened and few hundred
dollars taken, perhaps less. Such oc-
currences occasion slight excitement
for a time and the matter is forgotten.
This should not be the case, but every
possible means should be used to bring
| the culprit to justice, and, as in Tacoma,
some special efforts be made. This
morning when Mr.. Cunning came down
to his blacksmith chop he found that he
was worth $40 less than when he left it
last night, some individual having nm
! locked the large door on the east side
and walked away with eleven Green
river screw plates, taps, dies and stock,
and bolt clipper, which were worth all
of $40. The case containing the screw
plates was left, and many tools which
were valuable. No possible clue as
to the robber can be found; but every
effort is being made to apprehend him.
Mr.. Cunning sayslh he cannot replace the
screw plates here and perhaps not in
! Portland,
Whatsoever thy hand fndeth to do,
do it with all thy might has been the
motto of Mr.. S. B. Adams, whose third
term of Office as school director ends
with the election Monday. Mr.. Adams,
we understand, has fully decided not to
1 again accept the Office, and certainly
Dalles people could not expect more of
him than has already been given. Dur
ing the nine years in which he has
served the district as director, his whole
purpose and aim seemed to be the good
of the school and everything in connec-
ton Herewith, devoting most of his
time to his duties in that line. Had he
been erecting a residence of his own he
could not have been more enthusiastic
over every detail than was he regarding
the erection of the new High school
building, and his only regret now is that
his term is up before he has seen the
work of beautifying the grounds fully
completed, and still expresses himself as
} determined to take as much interest as
