subject was 'sThe Worlds First Woman, /"
and everyone present was delighted with
the manner in which he handled it.
Roscoe Oakes, the travelling man, in
former days so well known in The Dalles,
!, is ''doing' the city today. He is not
greeted quite SO familiarly as of yore, all
on account of the absence of mustache,
which has SO completely changed his ap-
pearance that even the young ladies
| fail to recognize him.
| In spite of the law against selling
liquor to Indiane, it is not an uncom-
mon thing to encounter a drunken Indian
in and out of the city. Last night T. j.
Driver arrested brave who had SO
much of the "fire water" that he had
to be put in the cooler, where he spent
the night, and today as well.
Sheriff Kelly returned last night from
Salem, " here he went to take Richardson
to the asylum. While there Mr.. Kelly
inquired as to the Dalles inmates in the
asylum, and found they were all in about
the same condition, with little signs of
improvement, except the case of Miss
Laura Donaldson, who is now IN the
convaleecent ward.
Arthur Clarke, the popular and cour-
teous young jeweler of The Dalles, ar
rived here last Monday, and will locate
in Heppner permanently. His stock
of goods will arrive in a day or so. but as
yet he has not secured suitable build
ing. Mr. Clarke is polished young man
and will be valuable acquisition to our
society circles.-Heppner Times.

Sleeping-ear rates are being reduced
on the Great Northern and Northern
| Pacific roads. At first a reduction to
$40 was announced; out compromise
has been made whereby rate of $12
will be made from the East to this
coast, instead of $13 80 as now charged.
Ultimately it is thought reduction
will be made on all lines west of the
Missouri river.
| Just as we go to press word was re-
! lived in the city that a murder had
| been committed near Viento this after
noon. It seems that the workmen on
the road got into lively discussion, be-
coming very angry. Finally one of the
men ordered the other to do something
in connection with the work in hand
and hit the other in the head, killing
him instantly.
The latest from Spokane Gays that the
smallpox reports have been greatly ex-
aggerated. Instead of twenty seven cases
there have been so far only five cases,
and until last Sunday there were only
three. Sunday morning the two adj
ditionaf cases were reported from lodg-
ing-house, which was occupied by twenty
persons. The house was at once quar-
antined, and it is thought the exposed
persons will escape the disease.
For some time past an item has been
going the rounds of the press to the effect
that there are at present about 100000
pounds of wool stored in the warehouses
at The Dalles. We are informed today
by one warehouse company that they
have almost 100000 pounds in their
warehouse alone, therefore we conclude
the total amount has been greatly under
rated In short time the new crop
will be arriving, and buyers will find
The Dalles just the place for their pur-
chases.
K. of P. hall would scarcely contain
the crowd that gathered to listen to the
entertainment and enjoy the pleasures
afforded by the ladies Of the Episcopal
Guild last night. After viewing the
articles on sale at fhe booths, and
making purchases fjthe same, shorr
] pregram was given and at It's close al
were attracted to the refreshment room.
where ice cream and cake were served
The latter part of the evening was spen
in dancing. The ladies were very sue
cessful with their sale, and realized 1
, goodly sum for their labors; probabl,
over 500.
