Governor Lewd (pf tl.Ij tfternoou gave to tho Asto ' tied Tress an oflicial ttatoment In dting regaiding tho late nn pleasant s. !! says the republicans boast of nrkj carried tho fight. Tho fact is, r nllsts have novor lost tight of ft c ral idea in the contest the it: - Jon of the Dooulitt house. It was to destroy this house the republi cans made the fight, and failed. Had they succeeded, it woold haye thwarted all reform legislation. They know the laws passed by it are valid ; that to de clare otherwise the supreme court would have to revise all respectable precedents at a partisan demand and face a wave of public indignation unparalleled since the notorious Judgo Trescilian was fol lowed to the scaffold by an outraged people who exulted at his just but shocking execution. Corporate greed was determined to prevent the enact ment of reform measures by the popu lists. The governor then goes on to enumerate the acta of the republican bouse intended to extinguish the honse of populists, beginning with the at tempted arrest of its chief clerk and to be followed by the arrest of enough popu list members to break the quorum. This, he adds, did not succeed, and, though the republicans succeeded in a compromise in driving the populists from the hall, their organisation is still intact. Kven this wat brought about through the disloyalty of the state militia and the county sheriff. He de clared that the militia has been recruited and doctored to this end for two years. Unmasking the republican treason, per jury and lawlessness richly comiiensates the populists for all the indignities suilered. Yanlar Will CaM. ejKATTL, Wash., Feb. 20. The widow of Yesler was thlt afternoon bound over to the superior court by Justice Hum phrey on a charge of conspiring with l)r. J. Eugene Jordan aud Dr. H. Mar tin Vanltuiien to destroy tho will of her millionaire husband, the late Henry L. Vesler, "father of Seattle." The hear ing of the evidence occupied eight days and the argument four days. The jus tice took four days to consider the mass of evidence. A motion is now being argued for a change of venue in the matter of the charge of forgery against Mrs. Yesler in connection with the will. II or bonds have been placed at $1,000. Why Hah" Liken Dog. tiTuut ItpaK.'h Cor. 1 let ween you and me, Mr. Kditor, I think a dog is a healthful companion for almost any human being. His tastes are not depraved, nnd he will never lead you into any mischief. He declines go ing into bed early, and he adores a swim. He woa't sit up all night while you ploy poker, but go out for a ride, and see how he'll chase after the horse's heels. He will lead you into every good sport, and to nothing bud. "But," says some one, "dogs are your fad." My dear sir, the man or woman who doesn't like dogs is wrong. It is as natural for human be ings to like a dog as it is to like a baby ; and a household without one or the other of course, any well-regulated household has both isn't worth belong ing to. 1 like dogs, because I know so many men and women. I like dogs, because they always see my virtues, and ignore my vices. 1 like dogs, becanse they are friends through good rejiort and evil report j through poverty and through riches. I like dogs, because they are faithful and generous. I like dogs, because they are full of a certain simplicity that finds pleasure in very little things. How can I help liking dogs?

The terrible earth quake reported at having done so much damage in Yellowstone Tark see ins to have been confined to the brain of a fake fiend, for the whole story it denied by the men iu charge of the buildings in the park. The only excuse for such a story, they state, it the fact that the boiling springs at Nprris Basin over flowed, leaving tome mud on the ruad- "y- ELECTRIC FLASHES.

HALF A MILLION MORE Limit Df tlic Cost of Portland's Federal Bniliini Increase! NOW A KOl'M) MILLION D0LLAKS It Is Doubtful If tbe Amendment Cat Be Rctaloed Wbco the Bill Keacbcs tbe House. ... Wasiiixotok, Feb. 2. Senator Mitchell wat fortunate today in getting through an amendment to the sundry civil bill, increasing the limit of the cost of the Port of Portland public buildings from f.00,000 at it first stood, to $1,000, 000. It will, of course, take a hard fight to keep the house from cutting out this amendment, as the economists there will do all in their power to prevent the increase. Senator Mitchell's amend ment alto appropriates $25,000 in addi tion to the $250,000 formerly appro priated. Senator Squire toils y discovered an error in the report of expenditures at the Cascades, it being shown that $200, 000 was expended in 1889, when only $100,000 was appropriated for that pur pose. It did not make any difference in the aggregate, but the discovery of the error caused a great deal of chagrin in the engineer's office. F.x-governor Ferry, of Washington, has tendered his services to the govern ment for any duty that may be required in relation to Hawaii, and Senator Squire has recommended him for any place where a good man may be needed. Senator Dolph has been unable to at tend sessions of the senate since Friday, owing to a severe illness. Gra4 Jarjr Bepsrt. ' In tbe circuit court of the state of Oregon for Wasco county. In the matter of the final report of the grand jury for the February term, 1S93. We, the grand jury, respectfully re port to tbe court that we have now been in session five days, and have found and returned into court two indictments and one not true bill, and have also inquired into several matters brought before us that did not warrant indictments and upon which no report baa been made. We have also inquired into and ex amined into the condition of tbe county juil aud the management thereof, and found it secure and in good condition. We also inquired into the "condition and management of the clerk's, sheriffs and treasurer's offices, and found them all In good condition, and all books neatfy kept aud all correct as far as we are able to judge. We would reccommend that the county commissioners purchase and fit up the vault in tbe county clerk's office with the latest improved eteel vault furniture, both for the preservation of the records and that the tame can 1e more easily cared for and used. Tbe presentfittings of the vault are both un safe on account of danger from fire, as well as of tuch a kind that it it impos sible to properly care for and preserve tbe papers and records belonging to the office. We also visited the county poor farm, and found it well and carefully kept and managed. We found that the inmates are all well cared for, fed and clothed, and entirely sutislled with tbe treatment they re.-eive. We wuuld recommend that the coun ty commissioners tee that one George Houston, a minor, aged about 17 yean, an inmate of the poor form, be appren ticed out to learn tome trade, at be it able to cart for himself. We would also recommend that one Eugene Batch, an Inmate of the poor farm, be requested to make hit own living, as be It an able bodied man, and we understand a posi tion bat been offered liiui. We would also recommend that the county commissioners appoint a county board of health, whose duties shall be to look after the health of the county; to tee that Dalles City coin pelt its offic ers to enforce the lawt made by the city, including the cleaning of streets and alleys, connection of water-closets to sewers, destruction of surface privies and all like matters; also empowering the said board of health to look after any contagious diseases that may either arise la the county or come in from out tide sources, giving them the power to detain any cases of such diseases, fumi gate people and property, quarantine suspected or diseased persons iu properly furnished houses, aud generally em power them to act in the capacity, of a health board in the fullest tense of the words. Thcso recommendations are timely on accouut of the threatened in vasion of cholera from abroad, and per haps worse in our midst. We also recommend that all the heavy doors in the county court house be bung either ou double acting binges, or else hung to that they open out from the rooms. Thlt for public safety. Jfaving completed our labors we re spectfully ask to be discharged. Dallet City, Or., Feb. 17, 1893. F. A. Sjcufbrt, Foreman, 1 ... - - A Far Hals ar Trade.

ATKixrK, Feb. IK, IffW. To the PaJIca Chkohiclc. The young people had a fine time on the 14th at the masquerade ball. Every body it plostM with the pros pect for crops and rrass the coming year. Kev. JUwlins of Fossil is holding religious services here with good results. Antelope now prides itself on having the finest school house in the country outside of The Dalles. We are very proud of it. We have organised a body of A N. Workmen here with Pierce Kinsey as Master Workman, and will have a Masonic lodge as toon as a suitable hall is constructed, which will be in early spring. Tbe morals of tbe town are improving very fast, and from the number of for mer drinkers thi't are now wearing white ribbons, it is possible that tome body may have trouble to get their liquor license renewed. Antelope people are pleased that win ter is a thing of the past. The snow only lava where it wat drifted deep and will toon be gone. The weather has been warm for the last two days and this evening it is raining very hard, with good prospects of continuing all night. Hay was almost all fed out before the thaw came; but theit it very little lost in stock. Almost all the loss that there will lie is in cattle that were not fed. Stragglers on the range, or the most of them are lost. They amount to perhaps 10 per cent, of the whole amount of cattle in the country. If we get tho bill passed creating Stock man county (and no doubt we will), we will be a county seat and be doing busi ness at home very toon. While we like The Dalles, and its people too, it is too far away for ut to have to go to do our county business, and we are often slighted and neglected on account of the distance that we are away from the county teat. One instance: People for ten miles around came in to gel their mail, anxious to bear the newt in gen eral and especially vhat the legislature wts doing about the new county, and the stago arrived on time. The roads are reasonably good, but the stage brought no paper mail, and when asked by the postmaster why he did not bring the paper bag, he said he bad two pas sengers and couldn't bring the papers. Now imagine how we people, who take Tux Cheonicli and the Oregonian felt going home without either one. Now if Antelope was a county seat we would have got the papers all right, and this is only one instance of many where our interest Is neglected. ' Aunty Loi-k. THROTILE AND CAB.

KAILSOAD VOB COKDON. Tbe following letter was received this week by County Treasurer II. Halstead, sayt the Condon Glolie, from Mr. W. B. Blanton of Portland, a railroad magnate, representing several millions of dollars. At any of tbe proposed routes are feasi ble, and can be built with but very lit tle grading aud no tunnelling, it it safe to predict that within a few mouths the iron horse will be snorting through Gilliam's capital. Wt venture the as sertion that it will be the best-paying route in the west, for the length of It. PoKTi ANn, Or., Feb. 18, 1893. , HuitHKKT Halstcad, Condon, Oregon : Dear Sir: I have your letter of Jan. 31, and thank yon for your kind ofTer. My 6bject in writing was to obtain some in formation In regard to the topography of the country Iy!ug betw.ien your county seat and tome point on the line of the Union Pacific railway, from which a railroad can be cheaply built. A party of gentlemen whom I am trying to in terest in thlt enterprise would gladly go luto such a tchewie, providing the county would vote a subsidy suitable and the expense will .not be too great. What point on the Union Pacific do you con sider would be the easiest reached, and through w hat counties would thit line run? What would be the traffic accru ing to tbit line at the different Seasons of the year, and would there be traffic of some kind during tho whole yeart I understand that on or near tho John Day river it a coal mine, undeveloped, consisting of ta endless supply. Do you know Anything about thlt, Aad would this route be feasible? A good coal mine, easily reached, would, in my opinion, secure the road without a doubt, Could a road be built, without unreason able expense, from Arlington, . Blalock, Quinns, John Day, Squally Hook, P.ufus, Wallace, Grant, DesChutes or Celilo to reach your village? I know very little about the country in question, and can form only a poor opinion of it without going over it. It occurs to me that we might go np the DesChutes or John Day rivers from some point between Ar lington and Celilo, or could perhaps tap the Heppner branch at tome inter mediate point, or from Heppner proper; but would much prefer to reach the main line direct, if such is possible. Would thank you for any information you may bo able to give. Yours truly, W. B. Blahtos. M08IER MUSINGS. Crime Saw Stalks A bread There Va. caalleaaed. From our Regular Correspondent. Merchant Flaherty it ttill wearing an 8-pound smile over the arrival of a fine baby girl last week. Many are running short of feed for their stock and some are entirely out. Nearly every local freight train from The Dalles has a shipment of baled hay aboard for some of our people. F. J. Creed, our strawberry king, ex pects very large returns from the coming season's crop. Mr. Creed has demon strated that Mosier can grow berries equally early, and as good in every re spect as the famous Hood Kiver berry which command such large prices at the first of the season. The snow has nearly all gone. The outlook for the fruit crop is very flatter ing and those who have orchards in bearing rejoice exceedingly. The immi grant who has been here long enough to have young orchards planted, is happy in the beliet that the snow fall will stimulate the trees into a lively growth. In fact about the only one whom the heavy fall of snow did not help is the last year's immigrant, who hot been play ing freeze-out all winter in a box bouse. However, those who aro opening up fruit farms have shed their winter whiekers and with axe and mattock are making way with the native tree, to be replaced by tbe apple, prune and peach, which give a revenue for the space they occupy and which never tail in this sec tion. . The supreme court of Mosier convened at the new school house on the 6th inet., to trv one of our citizens for an aseault with his deadly fist upon one, Mr. for not shutting up his mouth when requested to do so. The defendant was arrested, duly arraigned and asked for a chaugoi of venue on the ground that the' court was prejudiced. The clerk, Mr. , said there was no change of "avenue" from that court, and advised the prisoner to plead guilty and assured him that the court would make the penalty as light at possible under tbe statutes, which would be two years in the pen. and $500 fine, together with ths costs of the court. The court then took a recess until "day after tomorrow at 2 o'clock." Although the time was rather Indefinite, it probably did arrive, for on tbe 10th inst. the prisoner wat again arrested aud arraigned before the court. The counsel for the defense In sisted ou having tbe case sent to the nearest justice, Hood River. The court said there were not many men living at Hood River, and they might be all dead, and decided to tend the case to Tbe Dallet, where the prosecuting wit ness had more friends. Thit reason, if not brilliant, surely hat the simplicity that it supposed to go with honesty. The case wat finally put off until tbe mow goet off, and crime stalks at largo unchallenged in Mosier. Si t. Wbaleback Bulldlaa; Faelfle. A large force of men are at work on the new whaleback steamer Everett, building at Everett, Washington. The contract has already been let to the Frontier Iron Works, of Detroit, Mich., for the construction of the, engines for the Everett. They will develop between five tnd six thousand horse power. The Everett is to be a passenger aud freight vessel, combined. Sixty stateroomt will be put In on the upper deck for the accommodation of passengers. It hat not been decided yet what route the Everett will be put on, but it is probable that she will be put on the regular run between Everett and San Francisco. She is being built large enough to the can make the run to Japan or China, her tonnage being 4,500. NUTICK.
