Nickelsen, one of our enterprising merchants, has just made a sale of a set of thirteen band instruments to the Warm Spring Indian agency, to be used by the new band just organized out of the Indian school at that agency. This is a better scheme than to let them be provided with Winchester, muskets and short rations. Mr. Nickelsen is to be congratulated in the sale, as he was a competitor with Portland merchants.

ALLIANCE ORGANIZED There was a farmer's meeting at Barrett school house on Saturday evening, January 3rd, at which a Farmer's Alliance was organized. H.L. Howe was elected president; Joseph Purser, vice president; W.J. Campbell, secretary; H. Pratt, treasurer. There were twenty-two signatures to the application for a charter, as follows: W.J. Campbell, B. Warren, H.A. Pratt, John J. Gibbens, C. Repp, H.L. Howe, J.W. Ingalls, E.E. Lyon, J.W. Wallace, A. Ingalls, Joseph Purser, J.O. Eastman, E.L. Eastman, T.E. Wickens, R.J. Ellis, A.W. Boorman, William Boorman, P.F. Cordes, S.F. Blythe, E.C. Miller, J.F. Armor, and Fred Howe. At the meeting of the alliance Wednesday night four new names were added to the list of members. Mr. Lucas Henry, lately from Nebraska, entertained the alliance in an address. Mr. Henry has had considerable experience in the work of the alliance and he gave a history of the rise and progress of that organization in Nebraska. The committee on entertainment has prepared a programme for next meeting, in which there will be addresses by Messrs, Joseph Soesbe and C.L. Gilbert. "Excelsior" was adopted as the name of the alliance. The next meeting will be held Friday night, January 16th, at Barrett school house (Hood River Glacier). LOCAL BREVITIES page Three J.H. McDonough left for San Francisco this morning to have his eyes treated. Captain Spencer who was here Saturday on a business trip returned to Portland yesterday. Mr. Eugene Price and daughter of Ellensburg, Washington, are in the city visiting old time friends. Mrs. A.H. Jewett of White Salmon (Washington), who has been visiting friends here for a week or more, returned home yesterday. Mr. J.A. Varney went to Portland yesterday, and will attend a meeting of the state horticultural society today. Hen (Honorable?) E.L. Smith has so far recovered as to be able to leave the hospital and was taken from Portland to his home in Hood River to-day. Mr. Hugh Gourlay was a passenger on yesterday's delayed train, bound for Salem (Oregon), where he will probably remain during the session of the legislature. Our old townsman, Mr. J.L. Thompson met with a terrible accident Saturday night which may leave him a cripple, or possibly cost him his life, he was a passenger on the west bound freight which leaves here at 8:10 PM. Near Bridal Vail (Oregon) the train broke in two, and Mr. Thompson went to the platform to see what was the matter. The train was not running and Mr. Thompson holding by the railing stepped off as he supposed to the ground. The night was very dark and he failed to see that he was on a trestle and so fell a distance of about twelve feet. His right leg was broken in two places above the knee. He was brought home on this morning's passenger, and is being attended by Drs. Logan and Rinehart. Written permission to reprint given by The Dalles Chronicle, The Dalles, Oregon
