Judge Bradshaw is at home again
after having sit for Judge Stearns, in
ourt No. 2 at Portland,, for two weeks
past. 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. Tbis is a pretty j
fair test of the strength and durability I
of the flume. ..The timbers are

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.

Mr. C. A. 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.

ally locked into Mr. Smith's office. On
returning Mrs. Smith chanced to notice
that a lot of plants that had been placed
in the windows were gone, and proceeded
j to investigate. 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.

pects to return the first week in Jan

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 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.

very pleasantly passed at drive whit,

Wilson carried off the first .prize with a
score of thirteen points ; the booby fall
ing to Mr. J. S. Fisb. After whist re

J. Cockran and B. F. Tennis of Shelby, all

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

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.
