Win Curtis and Vic Marden are home r.im the Forest Grove university, until after the holidays. Col. J. B. Eddy of Pendleton is among Ihe snow bound passengers here today n No. 1 west bound. The river is to-day comparatively " clear of ice at The Dalles. Only now and then a scattering floe. Union street is being prepared for coasting and the toboggan club is bound to make it a merry resort. A thousand men, more or less, are shoveling snow iu The Dalles to-day, off awnings, housetops, walks, etc. Geo. Neveue, A. E. Claffery, and C. 8. Shank, of Seattle, and Cbas. King of Taooma, are in the city on business. There has been 30 inches of snow fall in The Dalles up to the present time, in this storm, giving a precipitation of 2.38 melted snow. - Frank Sexton of Kiugsley, who came in on business yesterday, left for home this morning wishing he had a sleigh instead of a wagon.

Sinnott has teams hauling snow away from in front of The Umatilla to day. A curious bvstauder asked the Colonel what he was going to do with the snow. The reply was that he pro posed to dry it, and sell it for salt, Now that Brigadier-General Casey chief of engineers of the TJ. S. army, has given The Dalles citizens the true status of the aforesaid cascade canal contract Mai. Handburv has the floor. May we hope to see what we shall expect.

Jud replied that that would do very well for suckers, but whai. puzzled the genuine Fish was to fin I out how the meat ever got in between the bones of the shad. The Telegram advises people- to keep their eyes open when passing corners or between woodpiles and fences in walk ing along sidewalks, and not to carry a load of valuables on dark nights because the footpads are in Portland and are looking for easy game. It has been suggested that there beim- several men in The Dalles, strangers, .otsore from traveling and destitute, that it would be a good idea to keep th cityfail open and warm, as a place of shelter for them at night. City jails are generally places for refuge in times like the present. J. D. Parish of California, the pioneer stage man, has purchased the stages, '.stock, route, etc., of A. W. Branner, be tween The Dalles, Dnfur, Nausene, An telope, Prineville, etc., and is now out over the line to recieve the same. This was formerly Mr. Parish's favorite route. . A Monument correspondent says the freighters have about quit the road for winter and those who are still swinging the whip are having a rough time qf it as the snow is about ten inches deep' The mail carrier started in a few days ago on runners, bat sleighing gave out and he completed the trip astride a cay nse. . . . Mr. Louinisof Cincinnati. Ohio, who has been making a tour of the Inland Empire, was particularly struck by the beauties of a choice lot of apples which hn fnnnrl at barton. Wash., and he made a purchase, shipping them via. U. P. R. R. to Portland. His apples are here in a freight car, frozen as hard as with no locomotive power to thnm tn their destination. Such is life on the TJ. P. Claim Agent D. E. Hall, of the U. P. R. is here adjusting settlements on ac count of live stock killed by locomotives. He has one claimant at Cascade Locks who pots in his "claim" in poetic style, andfsigna himself "the only philosifer on top of the earth." This "philosifer" claims that he would clear the track by his magic hand, for a round trip ticket to the Chicago fair, hotel expenses and . w-r II t . I a I tirnntv dollars. Hall nas reierrea me documents to Baxter. Congressional reports show that Mr. Herman is urging his bill to create Crater lake park m Oregon. Urater lake is eight by four miles in area, 2,000 feet deep, and considered one of the great naturalj wonders of that region. Through Mr. Herman's efforts several townships in the vicinity of this lake were reserved under President Cleve land's administration. The proposed Crater lake park will embrace nearly 500,000 acres.

Play Santa Clause a little on your own hook Mr. Winans reports the Columbia river gorged all the way across, opposite the cannery. This accounts for the scarcitv of ice in the stream abreast of The Dalles. Rev. O. D. Taylor, pastor of the Bap- list church, is yet too ill to preach. Because of this, there will be neither preaching nor Sunday school service at the Academy hall tomorrow.

TJ ary ticket sent Dy c. ocunu .r. u., Sr., inviting him to attend a "soiree, to be given at John Williams' sale rooms, Friday evening July 3d, 1868, by, Knhntz." D&ncincr in those days was a tine art: and manv were the sociables held in Auctioneer Williams' rooms So popular were those dances, the peo ple turned right around and elected Schutz sheriff, and Williams commis sioner of Wasco county. Jos. B. Petrie arrived last night from Pasely, Lake county, en route to Link- ton, to inquire into the causes of the uurder of a brother there on the 11th ult., by a man named Fletcher. The urderer has been arrested and will be tried at the coming term of the circuit ourt for Umatilla county. Mr. P. says there was no snow in the valley wnen he left Pasely, a week ago to-day. The (trass was fine, and stock of all kinds oiling fat. He met the snow storm ednesday, coming in, and found travel difficult yesterday as he neared The Dalles. An engineer who was standing on the track at Umatilla with his locomotive, when the battle between the east and west winds occurred "at the finish' on Wednesday, savs it was one of the fiercest contests he ever saw. The east wind would swoop past him on one side down, while the west wind went whist ling up on the other side, each racing at the rate of 75 miles an hour, and almost literally filling the air with sand. " This lasted for half an hour or more, when the west wind give it up, and the eastern current proceeded toward The Dalles at railroad speed. Sand was blown over 'he locomotive to the depth of half an inch. A farmer from the interior of Wasco county came to the city last Saturday with a few head of horses which he ex pected to ship to Portland by the Regu lator line. Having overlooked the no tice that the steamer would be hauled off on that day he attem pted to arrange for shipment by the U. P. R., when he found that the difference in cost was actually prohibitory. He could not stand the tariff, and so sent the animals iiack to the farm, to wait until the boats resume trips. He has a band of young cattle in the valley which he will bring up to turn ont on his range, but he will I so wait for the boats now, to make that shipment. Thus it is that' the U. R. "system" make friends for the road. From the Dally Chronicle Sitorday. Endersby peop'e will havea Christmas tree ton'ght. Engineer George, with three cars, is reported ditched below Bonneville.'

Johnson, our worthy Dalles Litj op erator, is handy at swelling the sum by close attention to business. Mrs. F. W. Baltes, of Poland, was among tbe 200 registered at the Umatilla last night, as in soow blockade. She is returning from a visit to her parents Gen. and Mrs. O. F. Bell, of Union, Oregon. A floe of ice about 100 feet wide, by 300 or 400 feet in length, is lodged on a ledge of rock near the middle of the river, half a mile above the city. This is tbe site for the pivotal pier for the coming bridge across the Columbia. Mr. Henry Williams of 8-Mile, says the weather out that way is about the same as it is here. Snow two feet four. Stock is well supplied with feed. They are in no hurry to see tbe snow disap pear, as it is needed to soak through the soil. An extra heavy locomotive and cab oose accompanied the rotary snow plow to the blockade this morning. Her speed out of the city was very slow and careful, apparently as if afraid of going, to tbe bottom of some of the high trestles on the route. A subscriber wants to know what a jute sack factory in tbe penitentiary j would cost the state. An appropriation of $75,000 would establish the instil tion, and it is claimed great benefit would result to the farmer of tbe state by cheapening grain bags. One of the west-bound trains aban doned here was made up at noon today and sent east at 1 :25 p. m. on tbe time of No. 8, which didn't come from Port' land yesterday nor today. It will be of some benefit to people east of The Dalles, it is hoped.

The steamer Regulator was towed in to winter quarters at Hungry Harbor by tbe steam ferryboat this morning. And the rains descended' today, in The Dalles, upon . the just and unjust, according to the predictions by Pague. Wm.

Mr.,WilheIm, living about' iwelve miles from The Dalles, and Mr. Young who lives above him, about fifteen miles irom The Dalles, both on 10-Mile, say the storm of snow was about the same up that way as it is here. - - the sheriff of UaSer county had more than the average incumbrance with birn in this blockade, having two prisoners for Salem, one a young man convicted of murder, and one a convicted horse thief, He has them hand-cuffed together but lor safe keeping lodged them in Sheriff Wards cross-bar hotel last night.

Tha Qmckeat Way to Car m Cold. Do vou wish to know the quickest way to cure a cold? We will tell von. To cure a cold quickly, it must be treated before the cold has become settled in tbe system. The first symptoms of a cold is a dry, loud cough and sneezing, ihe cough is soon followed by watery ex pectoration and the sneezing by a pro fuse watery discharge from the nose. In eevere cases there is a thin white coaling on the tongue. What to do? It is only necessary to take Chamberlain's Uough Remedy in double does everv hour. That will greatly lessen tbe severity of the cold and in many cases will effectu ally counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold within one or two dars time.

Among the passengers delayed at The Dalles by tbe snow blockade, were some whose bus'oess was of a nature to cause them heavy pecuniary damages by fail-u-e to get through.. One of these was a geai'eaiaa i-om Salt Lake City, whose presence in Astoria bv the time the banks opea on Monday morning is very materia'. Some time since work wa.- stopped for want of funds on the Astoria aod Portland railway, so called for con venience ; the contractors had performed something over $350,000 worth of work having perfect confidence in the princi pals who were backing the project; when suddenly influence opposed to an other railway entering the Willamette val'ey from any source, tampered witl the backers to such an extent as to weaken their faith in the enterprise; money was withheld, and work stopped The committee of Astorians holding in trust a valuable subsidy of cash and lands to be turned over to the railway on completion of the line as agreed upon, have been aggravated beyond ' further endurance bv the meddlesomeness of outside parties, enemies of Astoria, em phatically decided to give the company but one more chance, and the limit of time to renew operations on the work of construe, ion was fixed at Monday, Dec. 26th. This spurred Messrs. Corey Bros, to renewed effort, and they have made com plete arrangements for the final and perfect fulfillment of all parts of the original contract.. They are here, snowed in; Monday the 26th itf not far distant, but we hope they may be able to greet' "mi tie host" Megler and affix their names upon the Occideat register not later than 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
