Invited to aeppner.

The Dalles Minstrel club have re-
ceived an invitation from G. w.
Phelps to- put their show on in Hep
pner, and Mr.. Phelps takes occasion to
mention that the minstrels need not
come to Heppner unless they can give
somethinr first class, as the Elks have
taken the matter in hand, and they
never foster anything except it is the
best. T he friends at Heppner need
have no fears in this regard, for The
Dalles Minstrels will put on the best
show Heppner has ever seen. There
will be 20 people in the troupe, and
every one of them will be an artist-a
whole show within himself
1t is expected the snow will be put
on here on the 30th or 31st, then, the
boys will be ready to entertain their
friends at Heppner as they were never
before, for it will be a
show that would merit patronage in the
biggest city in America. Heppner
may rest assured that no one will call
to have his admission fee returned
after having seen the entertainment.

LIFE AT MANILA.

An Interesting Letter From One of the
Oregon Boys in the Philippines.
The following letter was received by
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Barzee, from A.
A. Bonner, private in Co. L. Second
Oregon, now stationed at Manila, and
bears date of December %:
We received the Christmas boxs to-
day and were agreeably surprised as
we didn't know theyswere coming.
can assure you they were most well
come addition to our bill of fare, which
is very slim at best, but it is far better
now than il was few months ago.
We get fresh meat from Australia,
fresh vegetables from Hong Kong, and
the rest of our rations come from
America.
While we were at Cayite we nearly
starved, but we have Jared very we'll
since we came to Manila, that is very
we'll for soldiers. We arrived at
Cavite on the last day of June. and
went ashore on The first day of July.
We moved into old Spanish barracks
years by the Spaniards before Dewey
came this way. We stayed there till
August 18th. At four o'clock in the
morning, we marched aboard the
Chinese steamer Kwoing Hoi, and
pulled out into the bay and waited un-
til about 10 o'clock when Dewey's
flagship, the Olympia, opened fire on
the forts and trenches, quickly fol-
lowed by the rest of the feet. After a
short engagement the Spanish forts
were silenced and our vessel moved
close in shore, in the line of fire and it
was sight for any man to see our men
go over the Spanish works. Then we
went ashore under the guns of the
| fleet and marched into the city. 1t
was one of the proudest moments of
our lives when we pulled the Spanish
| flag down from the wall, and then
marched to the governors palace and
| pulled down another flag and raised
Old Glory. That night we slept in
marble halls, the floors were of white
and black marble. 1 believe it was the
hardest bed that l have slept on.
Since joined the army 1 have slept
on all kinds OF beds, but good ones. I
haye slept on the floor of a car, on the
deck of ship. on the sand at the sea
side, in the mud in the trenches, but
the marble floor was the worst. We
have bamboo bunk and for bedding
| one wool blanket and one rubber blan-
ket. We are quartered in very good
barracks now, but it is very hard to
| tell how long we will be here, as they
change the regiment every few weeks.
We now have four kinds of uniform,
the blue, brown, which is the fatigue
uniform, white uniform and kahika.
We have church services here every
Sunday. They are conducted by the
chaplain, and he has organized Y.
M. G. A. here, that is well attended.
1 suppose you are having cold
weather and sleigh1ng by this time.
1 only wish we could have some of
your cold weather down here for it is
very warm. We do not know how
long we will be here, but hope we will
leave before the hot season comes
again.
We have had but one death, two dis
charged for disability, and we have
about dozen in the hospital.

The New City Charter


A draft of the new charter for Dalles
City. prepared by the commission ap.
pointed by the council, is now at the
Office of the recorder for inspection.
All who are interested may examine
the charter and if they haye any sug-
gestions to make are requested to do
SO before the copy is forwarded to the
legislature.
The changes made in the draft for
the new charter are only slight. The
principal changes are those giving the
council greater powers concerning the
construction and repairs of sewers,
side and crosswalks; authorizing the
concil to put aside and loan $1,000 a
year as a sinking fund to meet the
bonded Indebtedness of the city
amounting to $57 900; authorizing the
water commission to regulate the
duties and fix the salary of the superin-
tendent of water works; making the
recorder the clerk of the water COM
mission, and changing the boundaries
of the corporation so that the west
line of the Methodist mission'' shall
be the western boundary of the city.

A copy of bill for an TACT to pro.
tect sturgeon in the waters of the Co.
lumbia" has been received, and pro-
yides that for period of six years it
shall be unlawful to take, capture or
killany sturgeon in the waters of the
Columbia, and also fixes punishment
for violators of this provision.
While the sturgeon should be pro-
tected, since they are desirable food
fish, and catching them has beco me
profitable industry, there is no call
for such law as this. 1t might be
we'll to have close season for six
months, and prevent the taking of fish
less than fve feet in length, but
the catching of them should Ios be en-
tirely prevented.
