Below is a message board post that normally wouldn't appear in the mailing list because the poster is not a subscriber. However, there probably are a lot of you out there who remember Billy Sunday and his ranch (I remember the ranch but not Rev. Sunday) and I thought someone might like to respond to this. Please respond on the board by clicking the Message Board URL below -- otherwise the poster won't see your response. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Farley was at Hood River (Oregon) yesterday. Mr. James Covington of Trout Lake (Washington) is in the city. Miss Kate Bulger of Portland is visiting friends here. Mr. P.P. Underwood of Boyd (Oregon) is in the city on business. Mr. H.W. Nuckols came up from Portland this morning. Mr. J. Anderson will ship a double decked carload of sheep to John Parker at Victor (Oregon) to-night. Wood Bros. shipped a carload of cattle to Portland this morning. Miss Bettie Chappell, one of Goldendale's (Washington) most charming young ladies, is visiting Mrs. John Filloon and other friends here. Mr. Jacob Gulliford from Deschutes ridge is in the city and reports everything lovely in his neighborhood, the only thing lacking to make the farmers perfectly happy being a little more rain. Mr. J.M. Cummings editor of the Goldendale Courier, was married on the 28th ult to Miss Rose Brune. The Chronicle extends its best wishes to the brother and his bride. The old firm of Brooks & Beers is no more. Mr. Brooks retired from business with the year, and the firm will now consist of Messrs. Beers, R. Williams and L.E. Crowe who will continue the business. Mr. Troy Shelly, superintendent of public schools of Wasco county, gave us an enjoyable visit today. Mr. Shelly is a wide awake educator and one who leaves nothing undone to advance the interest in our public schools. D.D. Garrison has just returned from his ranch near Arlington (Oregon). He left all his furniture and household effects there some time since, but found the place pretty thoroughly cleaned out. About the only thing left was the bedstead. Professor Barrett of Baker City (Oregon), who has been visiting his brother Dr. Barrett at Hood River, came up on a freight train last night and left on the morning passenger for home. The professor is a former resident of The Dalles, and in conversation with the writer expressed surprise at the many changes in the city since he was here twelve years ago. Mr. Samuel L. Brooks received a unique New Year's present from his sister. It was the dress, waist and cap which he wore as a baby. The little garments made by his mother's hands, and are well preserved. When one looks at Mr. Brook's white hair and snowy beard, and then at the little garments one is tempted to moralize, but each must do so for himself. For our part we will say that they would not fit him now.

TODAY'S DISPATCHES News From All Parts of the World - Special to The Chronicle. TRICK OF A STURGEON Front page A strange accident occurred on the steamer Columbia near Reeder's landing a few days ago. John Bernard, a sturgeon fisherman, was hauling in a huge fish, when it suddenly took a run, and before he could get clear of the line he was dragged overboard and came near drowning before assistance could reach him. Bernard is a brother to the man who was run down and drowned from a fishing boat by the steamer S.G. Reed about two years ago, and was in the boat at the time his brother was drowned. By a strange coincidence the accident occurred at exactly the same place where the fatality occurred two years ago. -- ASTORIA(Ore). COLUMBIAN. ---------------------------- DIED page 2 At the home of her daughter, Mrs. Molson, near Rickreall, Polk County (Oregon), Tuesday morning, December 30, 1890, Pauline Goff - Nesmith, aged 59 years and nine months. Deceased was a widow of the late Colonel J.B. Nesmith, who so ably represented Oregon in the United States senate in early days. She was a daughter of David Goff and was married to Colonel Nesmith at the Goff homestead a few years after she came to Oregon with her family, which was 1844. Mrs. Nesmith has always enjoyed the highest respect and esteem among all her neighbors and was endowed with the most endearing qualities, kind generous and charitable. Five children survive her; Mrs. Levi Ankeny, Mrs. Judge L.L. McArthur, Mrs. W.M. Molson, James B. and William G., all of whom lived close around her and ministered to her earthly comfort. The funeral will take place Thursday at noon from the old Nesmith house, and the remains will be interred alongside her husband, on the banks of Rickreal creek, where a handsome and costly monument has been erected by the family. A large concourse of the old friends who have known the deceased so long, will doubtless pay the last sad offices of respect to the deceased. -- CAPITAL JOURNAL. ----------------------- The Dalles Chronicle, which made its debut on the 15th, has been received. It is a bright, newsy paper, and will certainly meet the approval of the reading public. --OCHOCO REVIEW. ---------------------- $20 REWARD Will be paid for any information leading to the conviction of parties cutting the ropes or in any way interfering with the wires, poles or lamps of THE ELECTRIC LIGHT Co. H. Glenn, Manager. ---------------------------- LOCAL BREVITIES page 3 Mr. Henry Hudson of Dufur (Oregon) is in the city today. Mr. George Young, brother of Sidney Young, is in the city. The Chantauqua Club will meet at Mrs. E.M. Wilson's Tuesday evening next. When Two Strike's men were running away last night from the agency, they compelled old Red Cloud under threats of death, to accompany them. Referring to the attempt of Two Strike to capture the wagon train this morning, the correspondent says that several of the Indians were killed and many wounded. The ball given by the German Gesang Verein at Gymnasium hall last night was the most enjoyable affair of the kind that has taken place in The Dalles in years. The spacious and elegant hall was filled completely, and dancing was kept up until 3 o'clock this morning. The Germans can get more enjoyment and pleasure out of music and dancing than any other people, and they certainly enjoyed themselves last night to satiety. ANGLING PARTY Mrs. Geo Ruch gave an angling party to her daughter, Miss Nona, last night. Miss Nellie Michell and Mr. V. French carried off the head prizes and Miss Mabel Mack and Mr. M. Donnell, the booby. The young folks watched the old year out and the new year in, and after a very pleasant evening adjourned to their homes. Those present were the Misses Louisa and Nona Ruch, Grace Williams, Ettie Story, Iva Brooks, Grace Campbell, Nellie Michell, Mabel Mack and Messrs. Martin Donnell, Edward French, Truman Butler, Vivian French, Edward Pattersen, Frank French, Will Michell and Edward Lawler. Mr. J.H. Middleton of Hood River (Oregon) who has been at Boise City (Idaho) for several weeks, passed down on the passenger yesterday morning. --------------------------- NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Notice is hereby given that the taxes for Dalles City are now due and payable at my office for the next thirty days. After date (December 31st, 1890) they become delinquent. December 2d, 1890 J.S. Fish, City Treasurer ------------------------ FOR THE NEW CITY ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER. Paid Advertisement: It is now a moral certainty that very soon North Dalles is to receive another enterprise of greater importance to it than the one already started and our people must not be surprised if, at least, two manufactories are soon put underway. Mr. O.D. Taylor accompanied by a gentleman from Portland leave for the east on an extended trip, in a few days and on their return we shall expect to see lively times at North Dalles. Back of the proposition at North Dalles are men who are quietly working out the rapid development of the north side of the river. They are financially strong and able to put into practical operation improvements of very large magnitude. The next ninety days will change the appearance at North Dalles and our people will then know what we meant when we advised them to purchase something in this young city. --------------------------- DE-HORN YOUR CATTLE I am now prepared to DE-HORN CATTLE. No stubs left. For particulars, terms, etc., etc., address (stating number of cattle) S.E. LANDER, Bake Oven, OR. --------------------------- FINE FARM TO RENT The farm known as the "Moore Farm" situated on three Mile creek about two and one-half miles from The Dalles, will be leased for one or more years at a low rent to any responsible tenant. This farm has upon it a good dwelling house and necessary out buildings, about two acres of orchard, about three hundred acres under cultivation, a large position of the land will raise a good volunteer wheat crop in 1891 with ordinarily favorable weather. The farm is well watered. For terms and particulars enquire of Mrs. Sarah A. Moore at the office of Mays, Huntington & Wilson, The Dalles, OR. Sarah A Moore, Executrix.
