Judge Mariner, secretary of the Op n
River Association, is in town today on
personal b'iPiness. He tells us bids for
the construction of the portage road
will be in by noon of December 24th
and that already a number have been
received. Alrpady $24,000 has been
subscribfd to meet the deficit, $13,000
of which is in the bank. Various lo
calities are working bard to meet the
requirement and there is no doubt that
the $40,000 counted on will be avail
able. A letter from Garfield county
this morning says ths $2,000 assigned to
them was collected and in the bank in a

the following delegates to the National

Denver Januarv 10: Fred Steufiloff, of
Salem; J. E. Smith, of Pendleton;

the worse for the long confinement,
save a bit of gauntnens and a ravenous
appetite. The cat had crept into the
stove withoni the knowledge of the per
sons who packed the goods for ship
ment. ToJ Sloan, the famous jockey,
