THE DALLEs mINsrRELs.
The Splendid Performance of Saturday
Night Pays q Tribute to Dalles.
Talent-Wm Repeat
fuH,f

Meyer was the fact more clearly
demonstrated that The Dalles has as
many talented young people as any
town of its size in the west than it
was on Saturday evening at the
Minstrel performance.
The curtain rose with the grand
opening overture ''Black America"
by the entire company accompanied by
Prof. Baldwin's orchestra, and as
soon as the deafening applause died
away and the delighted audience had
sufficient time to size up the situation
they could have recognized the familiar
face of N. j. Sinnott as interlocutoI,
w1shJohnnie Hampshire and Bert Hol-
lister on the right end skillfully hand
ling the bones while Art Clarke and
Billie Crossen welded the tamb boos on
the opposite side, while seated around
in appropriate costumes were large
number of others whose names will be
mentioned in their respective turns.
The comic song "Mr. johnson Don't
Get Gay;' by Mr.. John Hampshire
assisted by the entire company was
indeed we'll rendered and fully apprec1-
ated as the hearty encore clearly
demonstrated.
William Frank followed with base
solo entitle "Armors Anvil Chorus"
He has a magnificent voice and if
more fully cultivated he will be hard
to beat
Arthur Clarke's singing of the comic
selection ST Don't Care if you Never
Come Back" took down the house.
Arthur has a. Tarious times, by his
clever work wo the hearts of Dalles
audience and this time proved repeti-
tition of what he has done in the past
Charles Clarke's singing of "She
was Bred in Old Kentucky" was ad-
mired by all while Will Crossen proved
fountain of mirth in his song .'My
Ann Eliza. The fiuale "Did you hear
about Brown" wound up the speci-
alties.
The little mascots, Hazel Waud and
Leila Kelsay, appeared after the inter-
mission in their vocal duet "How l |
Love My Luz and by their sweet |
singing and clever acting of That pretty
selection took the audience by storm
and received applause and bouquets in
abundance. The little ones are trained |
perfectly and delighted everyone with
their general makeup and the easy and

natural manner in which they per-

natural manner In which they per-
formed.
The Quaker City quarte.te consist
ing of William Frank, Bert Barrett,
Fred Snipes and Charles Heppner
made decided hit by their selections
from popular songs. They all have
splendid voices and when the fact is
considered that they haye had but
little training their singing will be all
the more appreciated.
Our local talent next appeared in the
person of Cary Ballard and Claud Kel-
say under the name of the Lorenzo
Brothers, and when the difficult tumb-
ling and long distance somersault acts
were witnessed many who were not ac-
quainted with the boys thought they
were Witnessing the performances OF
professional circus men rather than
two of our Dalles boys.
During each intermission Professor
Bald wins orchestra rendered pleasing
overtures and added to the already
complete performance by the same.
Although the members of the orches-
ira have practiced together but a short
time. still each individual is finished
musician and their music is beyond
criticism.
Had Dante Eliason been present at
Saturday nights performance he
might have got a few pointers in
Legerdemain from Messrs. Dawson and
Heroux. All their tricks were cleverly
performed and not a single one in the
audience was heard to hint that he had
the remotest idea of how the wonder
full feats were accomplished.
The two "Bills" Crossen and Frank.
certainly merited the title of the
"Warmest Babies in Coon Town"
Their actions and funny cracks would
provoke laughter at funeral, and
their mock tragedy which they per-
formed as an encore was decidedly the
funniest thing ever seen on a Dalles
stage. These young men bid fair to
be the leaders in home dramatics in the
near future.
Hampshire and Clarke. The Dalles
favorites, next gave their original
sketch "Life in Alabama. Their step
dancing was unequalled while more
graceful couple could not be found to
perform in the cake walk.
The concluding number was the
grand cake walk, led by Hazel Waud
and Leila Kelsay and in which all the
members of the troope took part.
After they lined up for a. grand con-
cluding medley the cake was awarded
to Hazel Waud and Leila Kelsay as
they received the greatest applause.
The performance throughout was very
satisfactory and passed off without a
blunder. Great credit is due to Messrs.
Hampshire and Clarke who did so
much towards training the different
ones as we'll as to each and every in
dividual for the respective parts they
performed
Before the conclusion of the per-
formance, N. J. Sinnott announced
that the minstrels would be repeated
this evening. The prices being re-
duced to so cents, children 25 cents.
A large attendance is looked for again
this evening.

BACK FROM THE YUKON.
Captain waud Arrives In the City Last
Night From the Frozen north
What He Has to Say About

"nat he has TO Say ABOUT
That Country.
The family and friends of Captain
Waud were pleasantly surprised last
evening by the receipt of telegram
stating that he was in Portland and
would arrive home on the 1l:30 train.
In conversation with the captain
he stated that his boat is at present
laid up on account of the ice, which
enabled him to make this visit to his
family and Dalles friends.
When he left for home the river
steamer, on which he is captain, was
hemmed in by four feet of ice. and it is
his opinion thatits depth has increased
| foot or so since that time.
He is running on the Yukon from
Dawson TO White Horse rapids, a dis
tance of over 400 miles. 1t usually
takes ten days to make the round trip.
1t is necessary to haYe double crews
for each boat as they run night and
day. One of the most hazardous places
on the trip is what is known as Thirty
mile river, it takes over 9 hours to
go up the thirty miles. while the re-
turn trip at is made at the rate of mile
| a minute.
The captain has some very satisfac-
tory claims in the Klondike region so
that his prospects for making rapid
fortune are very fattering. He pre-
fers the Yukon country to Oregon and
intends returning about the 1st of
March, or as soon as there is sufficient
indications of the Spring opening.
When asked as to the time this season
commenced he said: II was surprised
when 1 reached Lake Bennett last May
to find intensely warm weather. The
thermometer stood for a time at
over one hundred degrees, but later in
the season it became cooler so that an
overcoat was necessary article of
wearing apparel"
There is an abundance of provisions
in Dawson and Little fear that any one
will be in any d ger OF suffering from
have a sufficier :? of the necessaries
of life. There re not less than 1000
head of beef cattle in Dawson at
present, but fresh. mutton aud pork is
rather scarce. Beef sold for a time at
from Is cents to one dollar per pound,
but the price at present is about thirty
cents per pound. Wood and hay COM
maud good price, marsh hay bring
ing about S400 per ton.
Ripe Strawberries can be found in
what is known as Miles canyon in
abundance during the summer months,
while wild Gran berries, black and red
currants and black rasberries are COM
mon as in more tropical climates.
In speaking of the Canadian police
he says they have been accused falsely
in many cases. They comprise the
best people in that country and if it
were not for them no one could live
there.

A DANGEROUS FIRE.
Caught In the Roof of the Columbia Hotel
The Firemen Make a Hard Fight of
Over One Hour To Overcome
the Blaze.

At about 5:15 yesterday afternoon
the people of The'Dalles were aroused
by the shrill whistling of the o. R. &
N. engine No. 11S, and in another in.
slant the ominous sound of the bell
told them that fire had broken out.
A glance in the direction of Front
street was sufficient to explain all, as
the volume of dark smoke that was
raising from the roof of the Columbia
hotel left none in doubt as to the exact
location of the trouble. In remark
ably short time hose was attached to
the plug connecting with the shops,
while about the same time the Colum-
bia hose company were playing
stream on the fire. The other
hose companies also arrived in
good time and in less than ten minutes
seven streams were playing on the
building. The fire was burning close
to the rafters and being difficult to
get at it was thirty minutes before the
flames were considered under control,
and even then as there was strong up
stream wind it looked doubtful to
many whether or not they could stop
its further progress.
Never was better work done by fire.
men in The Dalles and if they had not
checked the flames as rapidly as they
did, grea. portion of the town would
have been in ashes in an incredibly
short space of time. The entire block
in which the Columbia Hotel is situ-
ated, outside of the Baldwio Saloon,
are wooden fire traps and if the fire
got any start, with the gale that was
blowing the surrounding blocks could
not have been saved.
At the time that the new water sys-
tenn was put in many faults were found
but since it was demonstrated plainly
last evening that destructive fire
could not have been averted if the old
system had to be depended upon, every
one now declares that the.new one has
already payed for itself.
After the flames were considered
under control it proved tedious job
to put them out entirely and from the
time the alarm was sounded until the
last stream was turned off it was over
one hour and half.
The damage to the building and
furniture was caused more by the tor
rents of water rather than the flames.
The damage is roughly estimated at
between three and four thousand
dollars, there being no insurance as
the policy was allowed to run out
some time ago.
The flames are supposed to have been
ignited in the roof by spark and
quickly burning through caught in
the inside of the building and spread
rapidly makiug it so difficult to
overcome.

Gently he wrote the stingy man dun
and received a reply denying the
bill. The reply was written on the
back of Mr.. Wep5ers letter, ond was
enclosed in his envelope turned wrong
side out.
The case OF Bl akeney We o. D. Tay-
lor which was being tried in Saginaw
was throwD out of court last Monday,
for lack of evidence and ar. Taylor
acquitted. This case wound up the
trouble over the North Dalles property
and Mr.. Taylor is expected home in
the near future.
Last Saturday evening a crowd OF
young folks went out from town to Mr..
and Mrs. Mike Doyle's residence on
Chenowith creek, and met there
number of dancers from The country,
there being 25 couples in all in attend
ance. A most enjoyable time was had
ana all vo ted MIR. and Mrs. Doyle the
best of entertainers.
Considering the per!lous position Ct
many of the fremen on the roof and
porches of the hotel during the fire
no very serious accidents resulted.
John Hampshire fell from the roof at
the rear of the hotel and seriously in
iured his knee, while II. D. Parkins
received serious blow from the noz-
zle of the hose which laid him out for
a short time.
The urgent need of a rev hook and
ladder truck was clearly demonstrated
last evening, there being an insnfhc-
lent number of ladders on the old one
and they are so heavy that several men
are required to put one in place. The
ladders of the latest make can be
handled by one person and as more
ladders are needed new truck would
prove as good an investment as was
tie new water system.
Charles Van Duyn, the Tygk Valley
meacbant. was in the city yesterday.
He informs US that the late storm
played havoc with the sheep out to-
ward the Warm Spring reservation.
Kishwa, the sheep king of the siwashes
lost over two Thousand head. This is
attributed to the fact that they went
into the wi ter in q poor condition.
The waite commission are receiving
fattering tributes since yesterdays
blaze, and it seems to be the general
opinion that without the new system
the fire could never have been checked.
At the time that six streams were
playing on the blaze there was pres
sure of from 95 to 81 pounds, while
with four hoze attached to the old
system the pressure would fall to 40
pounds. The members of the COM
mission certainly merit all the praise

ming team for last evening, they will,
however, have to win in two more
games before they can claim the pins
as their own. More bowlers and a
harder contest is looked for next
Friday night.
Our climate certainly proves most
remarkable one this winier. Two
weeks ago we had two feet of snow,
cold weather and all that goes with a
genuine Eastern Oregon winter. To
day our town people are moving around
without overcoats the thermometer
stands at so; bicycle riders are enjoy
Ing quiet spin over dusty roads,
while our nights are so pleasant that
the best OF people are in danger of
staying out late. Lawns and gardens
are beginning to show the influences
of the mild weather while the hills
surrounding cur city are changing
their fall and winter garments for a
spring jacket OF a greenish tinge.
During the week there have been
shipped to Lyle and the mouth of the
Big Klickitat river two carloads of
tools and railroad builders outfits, and
it is said party of surveyors were
recently seen on the south side of the
mountain, working toward The Dalles.
Yesterday a crew was seen driving
stakes at lively rate on survey that
had just been made through Farmer
Daly's field, a point a few miles south
west of Goldendale. 1t is believed the
surveying party of Engineer A. E.
Hammond is the unknown party, and
that it will be in Goldendale soon with
the line of survey. This item which
we take from yesterdays Oregonian
would indicate that Goldendale is in
fair way to have roadway to the
Columbia in the near future.
The Oregonian of last week reports
Astoria as being confronted with
constantly increasing school attend
auce and a constantly decreasing
assessment list. The same condition
exists in a lesser degree in The
Dalles. Ic "a taxes were assessed on
a total roll of 81 ALB. .434, by this district
with an average daily attendance in
the schools of 414; in '95 the roll de-
creased to 81 ,2SO, ,370. and the daily at
tendance to SIT; in '96 the roll
decreased to 1,186.l5 and the atten-
dance increased to 583; in '96 the roll
increased to 81, 1913, l61 and the attend
ance increased to 596; in '9S the roll
increased to 81, 1,172.479 and the attend
ance increased to $50. The present
roll for collection of taxes this year
has increased to Sl,l81. .703. and the
school attendance is the largest in the
history of the district.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Hay Wagon Ditceed and One Man Bur-
led Under the Rack

Hay Wagon Ditceed and One Man Bur-
led Under the Rack.
Samuel L. Bailey was accidentally
killed at Trout Creek, Crook county
near Antelope, Thursday morning.
He and two other men we're riding on
a load of hay. when the wagon ran
into a washout, upsetting the hay rack
and throwing Bailey into Is foot
ditch with the rack squarely across
his back killing him instantly.
Bailey came here from Knoxville
Tenn, about year ago. and at the
time of his death was employed on the
Phil Brogan ranch. He claimed
to have been practicing attorney at
Knoxville, and papers found on his
person indicate that he was at one
time alderman of that city. He was
well liked by all who knew him, and
bore splendid reputation. He said
he was member of the Masonic or
der, II such is found to be the case he
will be buried with Masonic honors
by the local lodge. He was about 80
years of age.
