The subject of Oregon at the world's fair has even dropped oat of the press, No loss of stock is reported from any where in Eastern Oregon this winter, A train of fifteen cars of' cattle passed through the city Friday on its way to Portland. Hon. Peter Paauet. brother of O. L Paquet of this county, has been ap pointed receiver at the Oregon City land office. A demand is being made in England for an official enquiry into the nature and causes of the prevailing influenza or la grippe. Julins Wiley, stewartbf the Regulator, is having a neat residence built for him self on the lot east of the residence of W. H. Jones on Tenth street. Goldendale now has telephone con nection with Grant, Biggs, Rufus, Wasco and Moro. The telephone office is at White & Snover's drugstore. From reading this week's issue of the Dufur Dispatch one gathers that the people out there are very much inter-' ested in the new grade up Tygh hill. . There is nothing small about the Wil lamette valley. Its press and leading public men are heartily for a portage railway at .The Dalles. aalew Journal. The funeral of Mrs. L. Keith will be held from the family residence of Mr. G. W. Stewart on Ninth street tomor row (Sunday) at 2 p. ru. Rev. A. C. Spencer officiating. A Petaluma chicken incubator has just. arrived in this city for Mr. Ed Harriman, of Five-Mile, one of our most enterprising farmers. Ed. will make it a success if anybody can. A very fine pair of Duroc-Jersey red hogs arrived at the express office Friday morning from Charles Stuckey, of At lanta, Illinois, They are addressed to T. F. Morris, of Kingsley. The Dalles Electric, Telephone & Power Co., capital stock f 40,000 has filed articles of incorporation at Salem, H. C. Nielsen. Geo. C. Blakeley, Geo. Ruch and G. V. Bolton are tho incorporates. From Mr. George Blakely we learn ' that Dr. Hugh Logan has been officially notified of his appointment as assistant surgeon to the Union Pacific company. This appointment gives two official sur geons at this place, namely Doctors Logan and Doane. The Newfoundland government has appealed to the imperial government in behalf of the ratification of the treaty with the United States, the terms of which were agreed upon in 1890, bnt which the Canadian government has never yet consented to. Joaquin Miller claims that at the bat tle of Castle Rocks, California, an arrow highest satisfaction to the Doctor who speaks in the warmest terms of that gentleman as an all round first class man and mechanic, and the Chbon- - rrr.lt from its 'own neraonnl knnwlprlup endorses the doctor's sentiments. Superintendent Shelley, assisted by local teachers and others interested, will hold an Institute at' Dufur the 19th and ilirt h-.-ii given, the pie think these meetings are 'only for teachers. The law, however, in making provision for them says: "And the superintendent shall secure at these meetings, as far as practicable, the at tendance and co-operation of school of ficers, teachers and parents." You see that teachers are only one-third of those mentioned. Now, you are invited to the feast and it will be a feast and if when - it is over, you are not paid', for coming, just let the superintendent know,' and he will never urge you again. We have received a letter fromn es teemed reader of the Chronicle,- who .lives on Juniper Flat, complaining bit- - 1 .1 J.. .l .1 m i tt-ii ii i, vcrijr hhu juauy HiXMii iygn p.nl suae. The writer says some things that prove hA Pftlllri flftf. hflvn cnnwn vhan ha uiMta tne letter wnat steps nave been taken to build a new grade and he will agree with the Chboniclk that it is useless to ' discuss the question who was to blame that a road has not been built years ago. . The main thing, now that an appropria tion is assured, is to pat the money to the best possible- use and hurry, the work through so that people may have a way t6 get to market with next fall's crop.v , The following printed notice' has been freely distributed on the road between this city and Wamic,. and Wapinitia: "A final effort to secure a road up Tygh Hill.

An adjourned meeting of the common council was held Saturday evening at which all the members were present ex cepting councilman Haight.

Third, that a light be placed on the rock mound east of the John crates property on Alvord avenue. Fourth, that a light be placed on some suitable spot near the residence of Chas.

Walker for readjustmrnt of assessment be granted was adopted.- 'The assessment of Mrs. M. A. Bald win was reduced to $500. The taxes of A. Donaldson were re mitted.

' Ordinance 247 for .establishing the grades of certain streets was amended so as to exclude all that part relating to Fifth street. The ordinance as amended then passed unanimously. - . . The ordinance of the W. U. Telegraph company was referred to the city attor ney, who was also instructed to draw up a resolution relative to the establish ment of a grade on Fifth street between Union and Washington. The committee on streets and public' buildings was instructed to confer with Civil Engineer Roberts regarding a sur vey of the city and report the result to to the council. The treasurer was ordered to retain the tax roll till March 1st at which time all unpaid city taxes -shall be declared delinquent. . The street commissioner was in structed to notify the Dalles Lumbering Company to repair forthwith all wash outs on the streets' and roads of the City caused by the overflow of their water flume, and in case of refusal or neglect the commissioners shall repair the same and collect the costs from the company. The future regular monthly meetings of the council were fixed for the 3rd day of each month excepting w hen that day occurs on Sunday in which case the council shall meet on the day following. The council then adjourned. The Governor Should lature. Call the Legls- The Salem Journal says : "There is a harmonious relation between the gov ernor and tne legislature on the subject of a portage railway. Both are com mitted to it. It was recommended by him and passed one house, and was de feated in the other ; not upon its merits, but as a mere by-play of politics. If the same legislature were called together, it could in two weeks provide' for a portage railway at The Dalles. The people of Eastern Oregon are entitled to it for the marketing of their : present and' their next harvest. A succession of bad years, with failures of crops and losses of stock, has left them in bad shape. Last year's big crop has only partially put them on their feet. Good snow (alls indicate a big crop in 1892. The prosperity of that region absolutely de mands the opening of the Columbia, and it has been proven that a portage railway will open it. If the governor wishes to do something for that section he should call the legislature together and demand of it relief for Eastern Ore gon. Now is the time to do it. It could not refuse to comply. It would not dare to not act. With an election just ahead of it, it would not fail to act rightly. Advertised Letter.

Yakima is happy over the fact that a second well of flowing artesian water has been added to her treasures. The success of the first attempt to secure ar tesian water was a joyful surprise, but it was feared that it was only a lucky strike, but' now ' that another strong stream has been secured, and at a depth of only 159 feet, the problem of the irri gation of those lands lying above the ditch lines is considerably solved. The new well is eight inches in diameter, and the flow is estimated at 500,000 gallons per diem. The drill is still being sent down with good effect, the discharge of water constantly increasing as a greater depth is attained, and it is thought that the flow will exceed that of the first well very shortly. There are now four artesian well plants in Yakima county, and a fifth, and heavier one, will at once be ordered by the company on the Moxee. "The first well is 350 feet deep, and flows 650,000 gallons per day. In tne second well the water is within ten feet of the surface, and operations are now suspended awaiting heavier machinery to sink the shaft deeper. . It is already over 300 feet deep. A Learned loctor. Engineer George Brown says he has come honestly into possession of the following letter, the production of an eastern Washington country doctor. For the rest the letter speaks for itself. For obvious reasons we suppress the postmark and name. .

John Blatt died very suddenly yester day afternoon at his residence on Gov ernment flat. He had been working during the forenoon on a grade leading to his plaee but gave it np and returned to the house, complaining of a pain in the region of the heart. A few" hours after he passed away with scarcely a struggle. His wife, supposing he had fainted, sent for Dr. Rinehart, but Mr. Blatt was dead before the messenger left the house. Mr. Blatt leaves a wife and one child. He was aged about 40 years. He will be buried tomorrow un der auspices of the Odd Fellows society, ot which he vtas a member. DIED. - Sunday evening, at Wasco, Sherman county, Gevena Reynolds, the daughter of W. M. Reynolds, aged seven years. The - deceased had been suffering from brain trouble for nearly two weeks. Deep sympathy is felt'for the bereaved parents as the departed was an unusually bright and affectionate child and it is only about a year since the voungest child of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds was taken away by the measles. - . In thiscity this forenoon, at the' resi dence of her ' son-in-law, George W. Stewart, after an illness of about a week, Mrs. Luna T. Keith, aged 69 years; -"..-"Stole a Mummy. It is seldom a live- white man steals a dead Indian, but thisVeryano.maJy, has occurred at Pendletont ' . V; ' Several months ago somecurio8ities in the shape of mnmmifljed Indians were taken from the Indian graveyard at Long Island, on the' Columbia river, near Umatilla. One, the remains of an In aian cniia aoont twelve years old, was presented to Dr. Smith of this city. He left it in a room in the .Thompson & Flack building, and contemplated send ing it to a medical college in the east. A few weeks ago, when he took Will Hall Poore of the Irrigation Age to view the curiosity, the mummy turned tip. miss ing.'' . . " - ' , Recently a pale, black -eyed young man who had a boot-black stand, at the Pan-. theon,.and prospered for a time but fin ally lost his pile by gambling and other recklessness, left the city. He borrowed money, and his departure was mourned by his creditors. Later it was discov ered by the officers that the young man, whose name is George E. " Deletts, was negotiating for the sale of--an Indian mummy at Portland for the handsome sum of $350. So Deputy Sheriff Hailey, who went to Salem with prisoners, cor? raled the bootblack and will bring him back on this evening's train. Thus do the vices of life lead their vic tims into temptation, even to purloining a mummified Indian, which surely ought to have few attractions for the covetous.. East Oregonian. ' An Amphibious Steamer. "What else shall we call a steamer that travels on both land and water? That is just what a little steamer which has just been finished in Sweden has done on its trial trip, and there seems to be no reason why it may not be a successful traveler on land as well as in water. There are two lakes near Boras that are separated 'by a considerable strip of land. The object of the strange steamer is to save expense in the transportation of freight across the lake, .particularly the avoidance, of double shipment. Rails have been laid' across the land slip and the steamer is so constructed that by its own engines it can be run from the water upon the rails and then roll across until it dips into the other lake. The little steamer fs of ten-horse power and can accommodate sixty passengers in addition to its freight. It is very ap propriately named the svanen, which is Swedish for swan. GENERAL. NEWS. If I had two loavea-.of bread" said Mohomet, "I would sell one of them and buy white hyacinths for they would feed my soul. ..." . '- The inventor of the whaleback freight ship has made a model -of that type which he claims will be the best boat ever devised for coast defenses. ; 1 The era of cheap freights "has arrived on this coast, when foreign vessels load on the Sound for 17 shillings, and whale- backs carry coal from beanie to ran Francisco for $1.35 a ton. Wild hemp, grows luxuriantly in Montana." - Well, see how nature kindly provides correctives ! The cattle thieves in Montana should take warning by the suggestive action of Nature. Jay Gould has taken to going to church, and a New York minister thiuks it is because ofthe recent bomb thrower's attack on Russell Sage. Maybe Jav has just discovered . that sal vation is free. A Minneapolis man bet $2.50 . last Sunday that he could outrun a railroad train across a bridge. He lost the bet. The pastor, in his funeral . dissonrse im proved the occasion to expatiate on the sinful folly of betting. ; ' . Inter Ocean: England and a number of - valiant Democratic editors are de manding "tne recall of Minister Egan at once." Egan is an Irishman 'and a Republican. For the former reason he is offensive to England and for the latter reason he is offensive to England and for the latter reason is odious to the "peace-on-any-terms" Democrats: Egan will stand on his record. " James W. Scott, publisher of the Chicago Herald and the Chicago Eveniny Pott, recently refused the largest salary ever offered any man in' any profession or line of business in this country. Jos eph Pulitzer, of the New York World, of feredMr. Scott a salary of $100,000 a f ear for a term of five years and other adncement8 if he would give his entire time and attention to the management of the World. In declining it Mr. Scott, declined a yearly salary double that paid the President of the United States. ' The early fruitgrowers of Oregon had a wonderful market for a few years at San Francisco. In 1854, 500 bushels of apples were shipped from Oregon to Cal ifornia and returned a net profit of from $1.50 to $2 00 per pound. ; In 1855 the shipments rose to 6,000 bushels which sold at from $20 to $30 per bushel. In 1856 the shipment rose to' 20,000 boxes. Even in this year big prices were re ceived and for choice fruit fancy figures were obtained, one box of Esopus Spitz en bergs selling for $60. ' TheCalifornians planted apple trees, and after 1860 the shipments of apples from Oregon began to decline. Apple raising . was more Erofitable than gold mining for the .first alf dozen pears of the industry in Ore-: gon. ; -- - - KOUN. . In this city, Feb. 6th, 1892, to the wife ofL". E.
