Judge Bradshaw was well liked by attorneys and all who came before bim, and he was so very kindly treated that he may wish to go there again, in the same capacity, sometime. The C. L. S. C. held its weekly meet ing last evening. It was found neces sary to employ the "Cxar Keed" style f ruling in order to secure a quorum. That being obtained the lesson and rou ' tine business were disposed of. The ' meeting on next Monday will be held at the residence of Mrs. G. C. Blakeley. A dispatch from Washougal says that during a heavy fog Friday night the Bteamer lone ran aground on the shoals on the Oregon shore opposite there, while on hernsual daily trip. The Dalles City passed down and attempted to pnll her off without success. The Hustler arrived later but was nnable to get her afloat. The mechanical appliance for sawing ff the piling for the pivotal pier of the Burnside bridge in Portland, near the . bottom of the river, 60 feet below the surface, is a circular saw hung on a shaft auspeoiled from a carriage, which runs n a frame near the top of the pier. Steamers passing the pier have to slow down to avoid breaking the saws, while this work is carried along. WJiile "meandering" his way over the . line ol-4he Columbia railway and Navi gation company's route yesterday on horseback a bidder for the contract tame upon a wild goose disabled by a broken wing. He started after the bird and succeeded in capturing it, found it f ne and fat. He wrung its neck and has invited a friend to help him eat it . at The Umatilla this evening at dinner. The inconveniences experienced in the postoffice at The Dalles are owing to the insufficiency of help, the result of the short allowance by the department at Washington. Similar complaints are heard from various other towns of the northwest. It is the intent of the government to afford the people celerity, certainty and surety in the transmission and delivery of mail matter, bat it eems to be difficult for the officials at the national capital to even comprehend, far less to keep pace with, the rapid ad vancement and growth of the wonderful region embraced in the designation of the Pacific Northwest. ' We received a very pleasant call this morning from Mr. J. F. Rorich and his j little son, of Michigan. Mr. B. is pub- liaher of the. Bad Axe Democrat, in: Huron county, and his risibilities are somewhat excited on noticing how some people here are .visibly affected by the touch of winter now passing over us. In Huron county this would pass for a mild fall day. . The present "streak of winter" ap pears to have been especially for The Dalles. It came from the southwest and seomingly spent its force here. The Goldendale stage driver reports that there is not so much snow on the Klicki tat range as there is here, and beyond that the ground is barely covered with snow. In Sherman county, from Wasco to the Columbia river, the snow fall did not exceed one inch in depth. J. D. Parish, one of the proprietors of the Oregon, California and Idaho stage . i company, WHO nas oeen nere several .lava In ritanlt.Atinn with others con- t.ected with that line, informs us today that he has decided to remain in The Dalies permanently, and make this the future headquarters of the compnny. Mr. Parish is an old-time resident of this city, and was for many years one of the most popular stage man in the Inland Empire. We are glad to welcome him back. The. heavy 12x12 timbers, fifty feet long, which teams are hanling through the city, enme down the Mill creek flumtj of The Dulles Lumbering com pany, from tneir nuns in ine mountains South west of this city.

The findings of the state board o equalization in this county yesterday respecting assessments, may be summed up" about as follows: In the matter of tock, sheep are assessed about twenty- nve cents per neau lower ,n n.Bro ln.n ... ... , n other counties oi ,ast rn uregon; cattle $2.00 to $2.50 per head less than in Crook, which may probably be an over assessment in the latter county. Horses are lower here than the average. On city property they find that Dalles city has a lower assess i.ent than Baker city,' which has the highest assessment of any city in Eastern Oregon, l hey came to no material understanding! respecting land and railway assessments, which will be treated extensively in the com- ng report to be submitted to tbe assem bly. They propose to make some very important recommendations, particu larly in the matter of deductions for in debtedness. They find that it is the al most unanimous expression of tbe peo ple that the clause in the law requiring udebtedness deductions should be re pealed, and all property be assessed where ever it is found. A short time since an unknown boy, aged about twelve years, appeared in The Dalles and stopped at Skibbe's hotel. He was seemingly anxious to work, and finally went to Mrs. O'Barr's boarding house where be stayed a while. Mrs. O'Barr beard of a place for him out on 15-Mile, with the family of Mr. J. McReynolds. He went there, and was employed at choring. Last Saturday night he took a horse and was sent out to drive the milch cows up to the place. He failed to return, and as the horse was found in the large pasture Sunday morning, search was instituted to find the boy, which we are informed had been unsuccessful up to yesterday at least. It is feared that he has met with an accident, and may have perished, as he left his coat at the house, with all his earthly possessions presumably, con sisting of a few pieces of small coin. It is barely possible that be became tired of the position and concluded to again take to the road ; or he may be an es cape from tbe state reform school, as we understand there are two boys from that institution somewhere abroad in the In land Empire. He seems to have care fully avoided revealing his identity. From the Daily Chronicle. Wadneaday. . This is the plummers harvest time. Watch the water pipes. Geo. W.

Miss Clara Story will finish her work as a teacher in china painting at Pen dleton next Saturday, and will leave there that evening for her home in The Dalles. The Tribune says Miss Story has made a host of warm friends during her stay in Pendleton. .

Borders, formerly of The Dalles, bnt now a resident of La Grande, is in the city today. He informs us that tbe question of the removal of the county ' seat of Union county is again agitating the people, and tbey expect that a special election will be called for some time in June next to settle the matter. R. G. Gathergood of Long creek, re cently drove a band of eighty-five "head of hogs to Pendleton, eighty miles, which he sold for five cents per lb. on foot. The hogs averaged 200 lbs each. He was eight days on the road, and the weather was terribly stormy. The wind blew with great force, trees falling on every hand and making it dangerous to travel. The snow waa four inches deep on a portion of the route. Capt. and Mrs. F. H. Sherman's resi dence was invaded last evening by a number of friends who came to be with them and celebrate their wooden weal- ding, 6th anniversary. lhe evening was most happily enjoyed. Among those present were: Hon. and Mrs. Chas. Hilton, Dr. and Mrs. Riuebart, Judge and Mrs. Blakeley, Mrs. Brad shaw, Mr. and Mrs. J. 8. Fish, Col. and Mrs. J. B. Crossen. Charles Denton was ont today in a fine Goose-Neck, four-passenger sleigh, which style was all the go' in fashiona ble circles on Brighton road back in the fifties. This same sleigh has done duty in The Dalles whenever there was snow since 1855, and it is still in good condi tion. I. was brought from the east, around Cape Horn in the summer of that year, for Capt. Jordan, who was then an army officer, stationed at the garrison in this city. Small pox was discovered on the j steamship Umatilla at Port Townsend a j few days mice. On the way from Ta- ! coma the bnteher was taken violently J oick while cutting up the meat for a , day's consumption. An examination 1 showed that be was afflicted with a moot ' virulent attack of smallpox. The Uraa- tilla had about 150 passengers on hoard, j and the consternation among them wa great when the steamer was ordered into quarantine at Port Townaend. , The agents asserted that the steamer onld arrive at Sun Francisco oh time, and that the paseengers, after being fumi gated, would go on down overland, pass ing Portland. - Bryon Barnard, whoce name was on the Sullivan "detective" warrant as one of the Roelyn bank robbers, writes to the Fosil Journal that be has not been arrested yet. When he learned that he was accused he telegraphed to the Port land chief of police that be could be found in Chinook, Mont., where he has charge of 100 saddle horses and 1,500 head of cattle, and if taken away some one will pay for it. It is said that Bryon is the only one of the four having nerve enough to carry out any such un dertaking as the Roplyn bank robbery. 1 nas P'ent;y f -eourage, and made a j goo(j deputy sherifl- while acting as such i under Sheriff Wilcox, of Gilliam county There is scarcely an inch of snow all together at any one point east of Celilo along tbe river route at 11 a. m. today.

Chub was discovered i the first thing, and then Chub's work came to light. The Glacier says he had knocked down every plant, gnawed the bottoms of the doors and mouldings nearly through, chewed up tbe carpet for a yard around each door, and the window Bills gave evidence of the sharp ness of his teeth. The dog was delighted to get out, as there was nothing left for him to do insiiie. We are pleased to learn that Capt. J. O'Brien, formerly of the Premier, whose license was revoked as a result of the stranding of tbe whaleback Wetmore at Coos bay, has passed an examination for a new license, and will probably be given the command of the Premier when repaired, as he has the full confidence of Capt. John Irving. Tbk Cbboniclk be lieves with Capt. Geo. Pope, that the scurrilous press allusions to the misfor tunes of Capt. O'Brien were unmerited. He is worthy at any time to be called a true seaman. His ability is known to every resident of this coast the past 20 years. . In saving the Umatilla his heroism was equal to the bravest. But we do not endorse Capt. Pope's ideas with reference to the whaleback class of vessels. . Mr. Alfred Rasche, one of the seven traveling salesmen on the road for the coffee and spice house of Clossett & Deavere, was in the city last evening winding np his last "outing" for 1892. This makes the 19th year he has been on the road, eleven years east and eight years in Oregon. This year he decided to embark in a little venture on his own account, and looking about for an in vestment, the best thing he conld see, for certain and immediate returns, was the sheep and wool industry of the In land Empire, and he placed $5,000 in Klickitat sheep; letting them ont on shares. He will continue with Messrs. Clossett & Deavers in his present capa city, and the company intend to put two more good men on the road nefct year. In about two weeks Mr. R. will again visit The Dalles, to be here and take or ders for more goods when tbe Regulator and Dalles City are ready to resume trips, as he finds' that The Dalles and in terior patrons of the house be represents prefer to make their shipments by the ales favorite line, The Dalles, Port and Astoria Navigation Company. rrom Tba Daily Chronicle, ThnmUjr. "Another Booby, by Gosh." Jod. 8. Fsh.- , F. C. 8exton and M. D. Hendricks, of Dufar, are in the city. There is considerable slush ice (snow) floating in the river today. -. Snow was four feet deep at Bonneville last night and still coming. Carpenters have struck it. They are very busy making snow shovels. The boys are now in high glee with their bob-sleds coasting down the hill Bide.'. Chief Enirineer Fiiih is looking after fire department matters closely these days. ur. Logan's son Kay is in the 'city spending bis holiday vacation with his father. The east wind yesterday conquered, and the storm now extends beavily east of Celilo. Sheriff Leslie passed through today trying to get to his Moro home from Portland. A Christmas tree is to be prepared for the pupils of tbe Indian school at Warm Springs agency. Geo. Herbert left by stage this morn ing for Antelope, to spend the holidays with Mrs. Herbert. Contractor Glenn, of Spokone, left for Hood River this forenoon to interview the railway tie makers. ah oruer came at noon today to pre pare a double-header at 3 :10 p. m. for No. 8, due here at 1 :05 p. m. Train No. 7. west bound yesterday af ternoon, left the track two miles above Arlington, and arrival here was delayed until 10:45 this morning. J. F. Harrahan who came in last night from Kiugsley, reports four in ches of snow there "and still a coming w hen he left at 11 o'clock a. m. John Booth invites his customers, and all of the ladies out shopping, to call and get a cup of hot coffee served from one till eight Thursday , Friday and Saturday. . It is eaid that the principal complaint now with The Dalles patients, Capt. Lewis and Editor Morgan, is that the nurses don't give them enough to eat. SJDufur sends a big petition to Senate r Dolph today via Tb Chboniclb office, for an extension of time for filings on forfeited railway lands. A. G. Johnson left last night for Cceur d'Alene, to spend the holidays with his son and daughter at Murray. He ex pects to return the first week in Jan uary. J. C. Haverly of the U. P. R, Co., and' 8. W. Aldricb of Portland, were very hopefully waiting for the train this morning to take them home in time for Christmas turkey. H. B. Crawford of Kansas city, special agent of the Equitable Mortgage Co., has been in The Dalles looking up busi ness. He returned to Portland this morning. ' Four locomotives, weighing 80 tons each, 320 tons ; hauling such a train as the one which came in from Portland this forenoon, must give a curved trestle a severe strain. A snow plow was brought into nse on Third street this morning, which did excellent service in clearing sidewalks, so that the ladies could get down town to do their shopping this afternoon. Mrs. H. C. Brown set up all night last night at The Umatilla, to bid Mr. Brown good bye as he was leaving for Spokane to spend the holidays with his father. He got away at 11:25 this forenoon 11 :35 hours behind time. The following-named persons are reg istered at- the European house today : Mr. and Mrs. Thornburn, Klngsley; Mr. Bordiwick, Seattle; and C. J. Cowtsworth, wife and child, Buffalo, N. Y. The pleasant invitation to Ye Scribe to eat turkey with Hon. 8. F. Blythe at his Hood River farm, has been post poned on account of the climate. We prefer to come when the strawberries are ripe. . It is an excellent idea for people gen erally throughout the city to remember the feathered songsters. The birds are now deprived of many resources for food. Scatter crumbs to them, and it will be repaid in many ways. Something must be the matter with The Dalles weather vanes. They refuse to respond to the variations of the wind, j but the flags float directly west, indicat ing thiB forenoon a due east wind, at the rate of about four to five miles per hour. Mankind is so happily constituted that the change of season is usually gladly welcomed in this latitude. Win ter is always long enough even when short; spring lingers as leisurely as any body wishes; summer has exhausted her welcome and the autumn can ordi narily give way to the sternej and more rigorous season without regret. The train due here at 11 :45 p. m. yes terday from Portland arrived at 10 :45 a. m. today headed by four locomotives. The train had been bucking at tbe snow blockade with.ut a snow plow all night, and looked like the ragged edges of an arctic sea on coming into The Dalles. The locomotives were covered to the headlights with ice and snow. There t re contractors in the city from Missouri, Montana, Washington, Idaho and Portland. ' We were pleased to meet with Mr. Glenn, one of those from Spokane, and talk over some of the old familiar experiences of years ago, when Sidney Dillon, Jay Gould, Russell Sage and others, were laying the founda tions for their collossal fortunes. All tbe old crowd have gone, except Sage', and he is getting out of railroads and into real estate as fast as he can. Mr. W. E. Garrelsou returned from Portland this morning. He was a pas senger on the delated train. In Port- 1 'nd street car" could ml run yesterday, ! and he was compelled to foot it from the hotel . to the depot. It is his opinion that we are in for a gennine, old-time fnow blockade. The country can stand it. Judge and Mrs. A. 8. Bennett enter tained the Union whist club at Keller's hall last eveninsr. The evening was very pleasantly passed at drive whit, twenty hands being played. Mrs. H. S. Wilson carried off the first .prize with a score of thirteen points ; the booby fall ing to Mr. J. S. Fisb. After whist re freshments were served. The Condon Globe mentions the pres ence there of Attorney J. M. Hunting ton of The Dalles, Attorney Jayne, J. E. Frick, W. E. Fowler and Arthur Coffin of Arlington, Dick Lyon p of Dot,-Wash., A. J. Cockran and B. F. Tennis of Shelby, all on business connected with the case of Lige Hendrix vs J. E. Frick, testimony for which was taken before the clerk by order of Judge Bradshaw. All the power at the command of the U. P. R., on the two divisions ending in The Dalles has been reserved for pas-' senger traffic. None for moving freight. After these locomotives have "bucked the life out of themselves" in snow drifts, the company will see what a fool of a mess it has created bv moving the repair shops to Albina. ' Dalles R. A. Chapter N. 6, elected the following officers lait evening: , R. F. Gibbons, H. P.; C. C. Hobart, King; Em. Schanno, Serine; Geo. A. Liebe, Treas. ; . Hugh Loiran, Secv. ; I. I. Burget, C. H.; Chas.

Baker City entertained the state board of equalization in a royal manner. After a sumptuous repast prepared at the instance of Mr. A. S. Watt, tax agent ' of the Union Pacific, the board was taken in charge by County Judge . Campbell and Clerk McKay and es corted to the court house where all in formation desired relative to assess ments and taxation was furnished. Answer to a conundrum ; "Where is the snow plow?" Coming from Poca tello. So is Christmas coming. But isn't it a commentary upon "manage ment," the way this U. P. R. "system" deals with the public? No snow plows in sight, and scarcely fuel enough on - hand to last during a week of modera tion. . Is it any wonder the people are load in their complaints about the arbi trary and half idiotic style of doing bus iness by this monopoly, run solely for all the public will stand. . V Sheriff T. A. Ward returned from the Sheriff's association meeting in Portland yesterday. The recommendation of the Oregon bar association to make' the sheriff a salaried officer instead of a fee . officer came up for discussion. Judge Thayer, who is one of the committee appointed by the association to draft a bill providing for the change, which will be presented to the legislature, . asked for views on the subject. Sheriffs of the smaller counties who are not - making fortunes out of their office, and several sheriffs who enjoy a brisk busi ness, Appeared to be in favor of the change. Judge Thayer invited the executive committee to discuss the sub ject with "him and offer any suggestions they may think proper, as soon as pos sible. ADMINISTKA1RIX' SALE.
