The recent rains extended over the
Klickitat valley and was sufficient to
make the plowing good. South of us
the ground is yet too dry to plow.

Don't forget that the Chronicle gets
from a column to a column and a half of
dispatches daily, and many of them are

should receive a generous support.

A young lady attending the Geary
-school got into an embarrassing position
one day last week, says the Eugene
Reguter. She slipped out and went up
in the garret. While walking about she
missed her footincr and pushed her feet
throueh the plaster, and hung them
down in the school room below.
The many friends of Hon. E. L. Smith
will be rained to learn that he has
gradually grown worse until there
little hone of his recovery. He was re
moved to the hospital Saturday, and
now under treatment by Dr. Henry
Jones of Portland.
Nearly all the trains between here
and Portland are run in the night. It
would be of some accommodation if
freight or two would run, but as it is
one freight train leaves Portland early
in the moraine and gets here late at
night. The present arrangement is
nuisance, and in case children have to
travel It becomes an outrage.
Mr. Aaron Fraiier, superintendent of
the public school at Dufur, is in the city,
The school has made wonderful progress

The day before Christmas the Colum

the editor of this paper with a ham of
their own curing.- We sampled that
ham yesterday and can truthfully say
that it is (or rather was) as good as any
' ever packed. It was firm, juicy, sweet,
and of delicious flavor, and shows what
Oregon can do in the meat packing busi
ness. Chicago never sent out a better
ham.

will be nothing to prevent work being
; commenced on the new water system,
and it will be done immediately after
the holidays. This will furnish employ
ment for a large number of people and
. will assist materially in keeping business
moving through January and February'
the dullest months of the year. Eight
carloads of pipe are on hand and the
work of distributing it will be commen
ced probably week after next. . -
The reservoir for the new , water sys
tern is to be located near the old pest
house in the pines. This will give it
ample fall to supply under good pressure
all the houses on the bluff and the needs
of the city until it has multiplied in
population several times. The water
will be taken into the ' pipes near Mes-
plie'a place on Mill creek, and it looks
now as though the new system would
be in operation early in the spring.
The weather for the past few days has
been decidedly peculiar for this side of
tne mountains. The recent heavy
storms at sea have evidently forced a
large sized section of webfoot's own
climate across the Cascades and it can
not find its way back. The fog could be
cut up into excellent nun's veiling, it
being thick enough to cling to one's face
like cobwebs in a dark cellar. It must
be sadly missed on the other Bide of the
range where it is not, for it is almost
mist here, where it is.
' The Court house is distressingly quiet
except in the way of being repaired. The
county clerk, the sheriff and the ever

has lots of blank marriage licenses. Mr.
Cates plenty of blank attachments. The
combination ought to work. Besides all
this the court room is being put in eleg
ant shape, and the sequel to misfit affec
tion can be found there. If some of our
young folks or old folks either will take
advantage of a dull wedding market, we
will gladly give them a good send off in
our columns. .
Some of the mill owners in Hood
Eiver are thinking seriously of building
a narrow gauge railroad from that place
to a point near the Elk beds. This road
would be used principally for logging
purposes, traversing a fine belt of timber
but it would also carry passengers to
the foot of Mt. Hood, and to within five
or six miles of Cloud Cap Inn. This
would no doubt largely increase the
number of visitors to that famous resort,
and would also make accessible the Coe
glaciers, Lost lake and the many mag
- nifleent camping places at the bane of the

The number of tramps who came here
to spend the holidays is considerably
excess of the average. However,
they are kept at work on the streets no
great damage accrues, but it seems
strange that they should prefer the
warm and sheltering hospitalities of the
city jail, to the wild and untrammeled

A few days ago Ole Johnson, a rancher
and shingle-mill man, was working on
his place near Stanwood with a long iron
bar, which he used in rolling logs. At a
period in his labors he plunged the sharp
end of the bar into the ground, and
was greatly astonished to see the tool
quickly disabpear into the bowels of the
earth, and a stream of clear spring water
spout up from the aperture. On invest
igation he found the bar had sunk into
the ground about nine feet, through a
hole lees than a foot in diameter, and
which was surrounded by a wall of solid
stone.

The Lake I.ablsh Disaster.
This is the title of a little book issued
by Clare Irvine, city editor of the Salem
Statetman. It gives in a concise manner
the history of the railroad wreck which
occurred at Lake Labish on Nov. 12th
ult., by which four persons lost their
lives and over one hundred were injured
The price of the book is ten cents and it
is well worth that amount. We never
realized until we saw the book how great
the disaster wasdisaster typograph
ical we mean. It bears the imprint of
an impecunious country printer,evidently
with an amateur outfit, and his slaughter
of everything in the way of art or style
in the way of workmanship is absolutely
heart rending. . As a first-class sample

Aa Affecting Incident.
The conflagration of the scaffolds in
tended for fireworks for the celebration
of the marriage of Louis AVI is gener
ally known. Amidst the distracted
multitude pressing on every side, tram
pled under the horses' feet, precipitated
into the ditches of the Rue Royale and
the square, was a young man, with a
girl with whom he was in love. She
was ' beautiful; their attachment had
lasted several years; pecuniary causes
had delayed their union; but the follow
ing day they were to be married. For a
long time the lover, protecting his be
trothed, keeping her behind him, cover
ing her with his own person, sustained
her strength and courage. But the tu
mult, the cries, the terror and peril
every moment increased. "I am sink
ing, " she said; "my strength fails. 1
can go no further."
"There is yet a way!" cried the lover
in despair; "get on my shoulders." He
feels that his advice has been followed.
and the hope of saving her whom he
loves redoubles his ardor and strength.
He resists the most violent concussions;
with his arms firmly extended before his
breast he with difficulty forces his way
through the crowd; at length he clears
it. Arrived at one of the extremities of
the place, having set down his precious
burden, faltering, exhausted, fatigued to
death, but intoxicated with joy, he turns
round. It was a different person! An
other, more active, had taken advantage
of his recommendation. His beloved

. Jnak an Ordinary Woodchuek Log,
When I was a boy my father had a
fine field of clover, and he discovered
that wood chucks were making sad havoc
with it. On the field was a log, and
near the lot; the destruction was the
eatest. My father told me I must kail
those woodchucks. I went to the field a
number of times, but could not get a
shot at them. ' I came to the conclusion
that I must use a little strategy; so one
morning I went to the field before light.
With my gun both barrels loaded with
a heavy charge of BB shot. I got in a
position where I could take a range of
the log lengthwise.
As it began to grow light the wood-
chucks began to gather for their morn
ing frolic They mounted the log, sat
np and looked around to see there
was writhing to disturb them. When I
thought the log was nearly covered with
them I pulled both barrels at once. The
gun kicked me over. When I got up
there were no woodchucks to be seen. I
went to the log and picked up fourteen
dead woodchucks, and it wasn't any
great log for woodchucks, either. Bos

I James Wilson and John Martin, resid

Suddenly there was a brilliant flash of
lightning, followed by a deafening peal
of thunder, which stunned the men and
seemed to stagger the horses. Before

and the other so badly crippled that it
had to be killed. The wagon and the
coffin were both smashed to pieces.

What It Costs to Live In a Hotel.
The boarding house habit seems to be

and new restaurants spring up in every
direction. As soon as a new hotel with
gorgeous appointments is opened hun
dreds of the curious in matters ' gastro
nomic go thither to dine. As soon as
fashionable ten story apartment house
is opened there are scores of families
eager to pay high rates for its shelter.
The hotels this season are unusually
crowded and prices for permanent lodg
ing are enormous. A man of my ac
quaintance recently asked the proprietor
of a well known hotel on Fifth avenue
what would be the price per week to
himnpif and his family four persons in
all for a moderate sized suite of rooms.
The price named was nearly $200
week. That was an old established
house, however. The new ones are
charging less for the purpose of having
all apartments occupied before May 1
when new contracts with lodgers will be
made. New York Star.

It is therefore very difficult to arrange
the clothing of a little child so as to pro -
uioviuLmug ov" i
tect it properly from these sudden
changes, and colds are almost inevitable.
A baby's cold is often a very distressing
matter to the mother. She knows how
liable an apparently harmless cold is to
become a fatal infl.iiniii.ition of tho
lungs. No cold of an infant should for
a moment be neglected. See at once
that the child is thoroughly protected
by flannels, if it is not so already.
Notice especially that tho feet ore kept
in warm, woolen socks or hose, which
must be secured so that they cannot be
kicked off. Greasing the baby's nose
with a little mutton tallow and rubbing
in a drop or two of camphor certainly
relieves a cold in the head, although it is
an old wife's remedy. If the baby shows
any hoarseness lose not a moment, but
lay on the chest a flannel cloth dipped
in sweet oil, or rubbed thick with mut
ton tallow, over which a tablespoonful
of camphor has been sprinkled. Heat
this greased and camphorated cloth and
apply it as hot as it can be borne, cover
ing it with a piece of dry flannel to re
tain the heat and to keep it from greas
ing the child's clothing. Before this
cloth is cold replace it by another hot
one. After such treatment a child will
often fall asleep and wake up entirely
recovered.
If the hoarseness continues, however,
or shows any signs of growing worse, a
physician should be summoned at once,
as moments of a baby's sickness lire
equivalent to hours i:i grown persons'
illness. Tho r.tvwiisest child requires the
tenderest and most unremitting car to
bring it through . infancy strong and

The National Council of Women.
The National Council of Women of
the United States, organized in the
sprinir of 1888, will hold the first of its
triennial meetings in February, 1891, in
Albaugh's opera house, in Washington.
It will last four days, including seven
public sessions.
Eleven of the most important national
organizations of wpmen in the country
have entered the council. As soon as
any organization enters the council, its
president becomes an acting vice presi
dent in the council, and it has also the
right to appoint one person to represent
it on the executive board. This board
includes the general officers of the coun
cil, together with the presidents of all
organizations belonging to it, and one
delegate besides its president from every
organization.
The corresponding secretary of the
council, Mrs. May Wright Sewall, 343
North Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis,
wiu gladly answer all inquiries ad
dressed to her, and will see that every
provision is made for the appropriate
representation on the programme of all
departments of work in whose prosecu
tion the women of the country nave ef
fected national organizations.
It is hoped that women interested in
women's wots win resnonti to tuis can
and give the aid necessary to render the
first triennial meeting worthy or tuo oD
jects in whose behalf the National Coun
cil was formed. Kate ileid s washing-

The Women of Kansas.
There are hundreds of bright women
and girls who have taken up claims in
the western part of the state and lived
on them until they got a deed for the
land. There are hundreds of women in
the state who manage to keep men de
pending on them from going hungry;
there are hundreds of women who can
do anything a. man can do, has ever
done or ever tried to do, and there are
hundreds of women in Kansas who want
equal rights with men. The signa'are
that what they ask will -be conceded
them. They have taken charge of the
public schools, and no state in tho Union
has better. They are members of school
boards, county and city superintendents
and teachers. They lead in the educa
tional and prohibition movement.
They are making no noisy or threaten
ing clamor for equal rights. They ::re
simply showing by what they do that
they are the equal of man and that the
ballot in their hands v.-ouJ not only be
safe, but wisely usad for t'-ia b;tbteri:nt
of the people and development of a state
that is coming to the front witli .--.ater
strides than any other in the Union.

Again the hostess paused, solicitous, and
asked her guests if they were sure they
liked it. "Oh, yes," was the chorus, "it
is beautiful." "But do you understand

Women in Hotels.
"The most desperate creature on
earth," said the clerk of a well known
uptown hotel, "is a woman from out
of town in a hotel bedroom on a wet
Sunday. There is absolutely nothing to
do, the confinement is almost intolera
ble, and the isolation of her lot is made
unusually painful by the fact that so
much is going on all around her from
which she is debarred. Men come to
town with their wives or daughters.
leave them at 7 in the morning, and go
off to attend to business. The ramifica
tions and extraordinary character of the
'business' undertaken by rural visitors
is one of those things which no man can
accurately gauge. It is certain, howev
er, that the western merchants are out
of the hotel pretty much all the time
from 8 in the morning till 13 at night.
Sometimes they come in to take their
meals with the women of their party,
but not infrequently they leave them
entirely to their own resources." New
York Letter.
A Pen Picture of a Well Known Woman.
une day last -week a customer in one
of the large Brooklyn dry goods stores
stood waiting for her turn to be served
and idly watching the woman who was
claiming the attention of the clerk at the
moment. There was nothing about her
to attract a second glance. She looked
to be close upon 60 years of age, her hair
was very gray, though not white, and
a pair of large, rather dark eyes looked
out from a colorless, unimpressive face.
In figure she was short and "mall, and
the black costume she wore was simple
to plainness. Yet when she gave her
name and address for a parcel to be sent
it was realized that this little woman of
insignificant appearance was one whose
name eighteen years ago was in every
body's mouth from one end of the coun
try to the other, and whose personality
at that time was almost as well known
as her name. She was Mrs. Theodore
Tilton. New York Times.
Pullman's Pretty Daughters.
Two dashing young women these.
They are the Misses Pullman, of the
world. I say of the world, because,
while their home is in Chicago, they
know as many people in Boston, New
York, London, Paris and Vienna as in
the Lake city They walk as erectly as
grenadier guards. They are superbly
dressed, but their clothing is not in any
sense loud. They are both tall, being
pretty nearly six feet in height; have
rosy cheeks, clear skin and constitutions
made strong by judicious work in the
gymnasium. They are seen very often
at the opera in this city, go to the thea
tre frequently and are known in many
of the best houses on Fifth avenue.
They spend their time at the Windsor
hotel, and whenever they visit this city
their society is eagerly besought by
young men of the best families. New

Boston Women.
All the women of Boston do not wear
gig lamps and calf shoes and carry broad
cloth reticules bulging with manu
scripts and leaflets of transcendental
philosophy. Anna Whitney is the vice
president of the St. Bernard club, of
Massachusetts, and knows aa much
about dogology and dogdom as any
breeder in the country. She can size up
a dog at a glance. At the recent dog
show in Detroit, Mich., Miss Whitney
was one of the judges. As understood
by this canine connoisseur. "Go to the
dogs" is not a saw, but a proverb." . In
stead of a reproach, she claims the mean
ing has been distorted by abbreviation.
"Go to the dogs for a lesson in patience,
love, fidelity and sagacity" is her inter
pretation of the old adage. Exchange.
Mrs. Tanderbilt's Change of Heart.
Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt is credited
with an effort to bring back summer
country life in her world to the simplic
ity which means summer rest. Last
season at Newport she wore cool', and
simple toilet with few ornaments, she
turned her children out to play in the
plainest and most serviceable garments,
she invited guests to quiet pleasures;
and set her whole life to the key of un
ostentatious comfort and leisure. It is
said that her missionary labors resulted
in some conversions from the painful
worship of Mammon. Harper's Bazar.
A Girl at the Throttle.
Miss Nellie Tetreau, who resides at
Lumpkin, has proved herself an expert
at handling the lever on one of the im
mense road engines used for hauling
logs into the saw mills. Miss Tetreau is
not more than 14 years of age,' and
her courage in the line mentioned is
something remarkable. She steered the
mammoth engine and wagon through
the woods and up and down the hills
with a dexterous hand. She surprised
the men at the mill with her aptness,
and conducted the engine as well as any
man could. Oroville (CaL) Mercury.
Some Complexion Tints.
The cold winds of autumn make the
following advice very seasonable: Rose
water and brandy is recommended for
roughness caused by walking or driving
in the wind.- Another skin tonic is al
cohol and water. The white of an egg
beaten well, five grams of alum in
five grams of sweet almond oil, is said
to be a sure remedy for wrinkles. One
teaspoonful of carbolic add in a pint of
rose water is an excellent remedy for
pimples. Strong tea will darken the
eyelashes, we are told, while sage tea
makes the hair dark, and cream made by
pint of glycerine and six ounces of
lime water will, when rubbed thor
oughly into the hair, make it glossy and
keep the scalp clean. New York Jour
