Word was received over the Prine
ville telephone line this morning that
considerable snow and sleet fell at
that place last night. They stated
further that tbe Prineville stage passed
through five inches of snow on the
Tygh mountains ten miles this side of
Prineville. Wecannot vouch for the
truth of the statement as to the amount
but daresay ' that it was more -than
possible as tbe temperature has beep
quite low all oyer Eastern Qregon and
as it is getting late enough in tbe fall
to expect an occasional fall of snow or
a storm of sleet.

If ever a man made a successful
guess on a gift (bat would delight a
gang of printers it was Rev. O. D.
Taylor, who called around at the Times
Mountaineer office tr day and presented
the force with a larjje box of luscious
irrapes which were grown an his farm
near this city. Tbe editor was of the
opinion that the grape crop this year
was a failure, but the load be bad on
his wagon, as well as these which be
presented us with, was sufficient to
I convince a skeptic tbat such was not
tbe case, and s'.y others w bp think we
have doubts about their fruit crops
will find, as Mr. Taylor-has that we are
easy to convince and as appreclatiye
a gang as could be found anywhere.
Jack Edwards, the well known sheep
king, of Prineville was in the city last
evening Mr. Edwarda ia one of tha

seventy miles without unhitching a. a

Had not the passengers and crew on
thu west bound overland passeeger,
which left this place, at about 7 o'clock
last evening, been favored by an un
usual streak of good luck the a .:
cident which occurred to that trai'i
iniant have resulted in a numbi-r
being killed and injured. Thetraia
w is runnin-r at a raoid rate, owing to
toe fact that it was some four hours
l ite, when at a poit about two hun
dreds vards east of Herman creek and
about three m les from the Cascade
Lo.-ks the trucks under the pilot were
thrown off on account of a w::rn flange
on one of the wheels and .before the
train could be brought to a standstill
the engine was so badh wrecked that
it was necessary to call out the wreck
ing crew to clear the track. To ac
complish this it took until after 9
o'clock this morning and the east-
"bound overland passed through about
i5 hours late. No one was injured iu
the least in the accident.

The neat little passenger steamer '
the D. P. & A. N. line started on tb

this morning. Although tbe compan '

The deepest mining in Oregon is
now in progress at the North Pole
mine, seven miles from Sumpter, says
the Baker City Democrat, owned by
Alexander Baring, of London. Ti.e
manager, Emil Melzer, who is also a
chemist , recently observed that tbe
percentage M.-rVed by the cyanide pro
cess had slightly decreased, and he
found on careful examination of the
ore taken from the drift at the 1CM
foot level, that there was a small
quantity of free gold, so plates were
put in and the free gold saved on them
well justifies theexpense incurred.

county that the grade now (

assistance a d resurvey said road as
now constructed and report fieid notes
and plat of said road as so resurveyed
to t his board at the regular session in
Jauuary, 1899.
Quite a number or our local nimrods
havi been going out in' search of
ducks but bo far none have been overly
burdened by tbe number killed. The
fact of the matter is there are bus few
of these birds to be found and those
are too precautious to allow anyone
to get within shotgun range and it is
purely an accident for a hunter to get
close enough to do any great slaughter
or even get enough to repay him for
bis trouble so that there is -little in
ducement for our sports to miss re
ligious service by going duck hunting
on Sunday.
It quests were sent out yesterday to
those who might he interested in
organizing a dancing cltyb to be pres
ent at theD. C. & A. C. parlors this
evening to talk over tbe matter of or
ganization of tbe same. Our town is
somewhat dull for the young people
during the winter : months and the
organization of such a club1 would do.

Portland has at l.st adopted meas
ures to suppress gambling in every
form and her success is demonstrated
by the fact that not even a nickel-in
the slot machine is running in that
town atc.-esent. The gambling gumes
can no 'onger evade the law since the
chief of police has taken up the matter
in earnest and it is gratifying to see,
that, since there is a law of the state
to suppress such mooey making schemes
the same is enforced. There is
similar law in The Dalles imd variou
attempts have beer, made to enforce it,
but the authorities have failed to do

CITY FATHERS MEET.
he Matter or the Opening up of Federal
Street Cousiclered.
The common council of this city
held a meeting at the usual place last
eveuing.
Mayor Kuck was in his usual posi
tion while Councilmen Andrew Keller,
Chas. Stephens. F. S. Gunning, S. S.
Johns, Harry Clough and James, Kelly
were in attendance, j
The two bids for opening up Federal
street from Fulton to Ciay streets were
considered. W. R Brown's bid for
grading the street according to the
specifications made by Jess Crandall,
without the dressing, amounted to
$6t0.00. C. -F. Jones made a bid of
55 cents per cubic yard for dressing
the street and together the bids
amounted to over $800.00 This
amount was much more than the coun
cil figured on to complete the improve
ment and it was moved that they de
lay accepting the bid until they could
learn whether or not the property
owners in tne vicinity of the propooed
improvement would donate towards
the expense of the same.
The matter will be further con
sidered at the next regular meeting on
November 3d
The bill of C. J. Crandall of $25.00
for making specifications and survey
ing tbe above mentioned street was
allowed-
Fred W. Wilson was elected council
man in tne brst ward, to succeed
Charles Michelbach who has resigned
on account of moving out of tbe ward.
Mr. Wilson is an energetic and intel-
1' ent young man and in selecting him
e council has made a wise choice.
The matter of selling old' stoves ard
rap. iron belonging to the city was
ferred to the committee on streets
and public property.
As this concluded the business, the
council adjourned to meet again on
Oct. 17th. .
WAS IT FORTUNE-TELLING?
A Young Astoria Lady's Amusing Ex
perience.
A story was told yesterday by Styner,
the electric doctor, about a young lady
who came to bim while be was in
Astoria, to haye her fortune told by
elecricity. She had -heard of his re
markable ability in reading disease
by tbat method and must have pre
sumed the rest. When attacked tbe
doctor said: "Why Miss I tn not a
fortune teller," "Oh, you are not, I
am so sorry, I wanted to know who I
was going to marry.-' To this Styner's
smiling reply was, tbat would be hard
to tell, it might be Tom, Dick or Harry
for all he knew. O, doctor! exclamed
the vo.ing laiiv in B'lrnrlso "How did
you knQW aU tbe,p name,.5 .
The electric doctor is not unreason
able in bis claims and promises noth
ing but what he feels he. can accom
plish. When he describes sickness by
electricity he simply practices what
scientific research has taught bim.
Styner is willing to pay any doctor
11,000 reward, if he can prove bis
electrical dogoosis an unreliable
method of reading disease. Styner
courts investigation from all inter
ested in his work. Advice and elec
trical disease reading free. Hours
from 10 A. M. to 4 and 7 to 8 P. M.,
Obarr hotel, until Saturday, October,
21. Nervous and cbronie diseases of
both men and women can be cured by
electricity and cured to stay. "

AT THE BALDWIN.
The'MetropoUtao Will Delight all with
Ia Mascot.
When the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany presented the Mascot at the
Baldwin opera bouse in this city a few
months ago everyone went wild oyer
it and desired a return engagement at
any cost. As soon as tbe advance
agent proposed thrt tbe company
would play a return engagement over
$200 worth of tickets were bought in a
few hours, which proves that those
who saw it before as well as their
friends wanted it reproduced.
