Everybody shovels snow,
and there
Beems to be plenty of it, too.
The meat markets of The Dalles until
further notice, will close at 7 o'clock.
.The No. 2 passenger this morning was
here several hours, waiting for the ro,

Conductor Coman tell ua therej was
only four or five inches of snow at Fen
dleton when he left last night about 9
o'clock.
The meeting of the young peoples'
whist club, which should have taken
place at Fraternity ball tonight, has
been postponed until next Thursday,
A lock of hair fastened to a piece of
cardboard, evidently valued by someone,
was found in the Snipes-Kinersly drug
store recently. The owner can- get the
same by calling there for it,
The man with the broken snow shovel
is the most sorrowful or the most happy
looking individual in town, the look
depending largely on the man's tem
perament and his desire for work,
Several cases have occurred today
wherein persons have "come off the roof"
without an invitation. We saw one case
of this kind and when the man who
"came off" struck the ground he was
fairly in it and put of sight.
After all it is quite as well on such oc
casions as the present that the author of
"Beautiful Snow" is unknown. For the
ultimate peace of his misguided soul it
is to be hoped said author or authoress
will forever remain a mystery
The east bound passenger came in this
morning about S o'clock behind four
engines, losing nearly seven hours in the
run from Bonneville, fifty miles. The
west bound with two engines arrived in
at 9 o'clock, only five hours late.
The Regulator arrived this morning,
having laid at Memaloose island all
night. ' She broke her rudder stock
which caused the delay. Quite a num
ber of passengers came up on her, and
she brought quite a lot of freight, among
' which were several tons of sturgeon.
- In spite of the storm last night, the
members of the Union Dancing Club
- decided to give their' usual party, and
sleighs were accordingly sent for 'the
. ladies and most of the gentlemen.
Quite a number at length gathered, and
the usual pleasant evening was spent.
The Lake County Examiner gives a
graphic account of a rabbit drive in that
section recently. A tight board corral
was made and everybody turned out to
enjoy the sport. The first day 1,700
-rabbits were killed and the' next day
1.800 more were gathered in. They had
gotten so numerous as to become a per-
feet nuisance, but this ought to thin
them out. . -' . ' . ,

Telegrams from Portland state that it
is raining there today, and as far east as
Troutdale. The snowfall at the Locks is
not nearly so heavy as here. We seem
to be in the very center of the storm, the
snow being much deeper here than on
either side of us. At Walla Walla this
morning there were only ten inches, and
about the same at Pendleton. The in
dications now are that we shall have
rain, which will mate a decidedly in
teresting mess of our three feet of the
beautiful.
That "sound of revelry by night,'
last night was caused by the shriekful
squawk of the fair Dalles maiden as her
escort pick-a-backed her (through the
snow from the sidewalk to the sleigh
which carried her to the dancing party
160: pounds of Dalles maiden on the
shoulders of 120 pounds of Dalles youth

his ear and send down more of the fleecy
Some of the girls were "up in arms'
against the proceedings.

Friday's Daily. "
Portland people got Bull Bun water
for a New Year's present, but very for
tunately tbey did not get in in their
stockings.
There will be service in the Lutheran
chapel on Ninth street next Sunday at
10:30 a. m., Sunday school at 2 o'clock
p. m. A cordial welcome to everyone,
Regular meeting of the Um-zoo-ee's
has been postponed until next week.
We don't like to call people in whist
clubs hard names, but that's the way
they gave it to us.
The Antelope Herald says that Mitch
ell's new county embraces 33 sections of
Wasco county among them the ranch of
Hon. Robt. Mays. . Our contemporary
is mistaken the Mays property 'alluded
to is in Crook county.
The snow has some disagreeable feat
ures, but the rainfall, so far, has been
considerable under the average and the
now is needed. It will be-beneficial to
the wheat crop, and will lay up abun
dant moisture for next spring's grass.
Outside of a few, a very few sleighs,
the streets are deserted. As the snow
gets beaten down and packed a livelier
appearance will be presented, but it is so
deep that no one cares to be the fellow
to do the road making. . ..
Some of our business men had their
collecting done yesterday, but ' most of
them put it off until today. The latter
course evidenced .wisdom as the side
walks are in much better condition, and
besides the fellows who have the paying
to do are much better natured. -
Mr. N. Harris, having leased the
rooms formerly occupied as a drug store,
adjoining his store, the partitions are
being taken out, so that the whole cor
ner np to Hertz' store will be occupied
by him. . In order to make room for bis
immense new stock he is now selling off
his entire lot of goods at the very lowest
priees. 1 v

When Mr. Tibbets left his sleigh in
front of the express office at noon today
he did not think that It stood very con
venient to the sidewalk, and conse
quently to the roof thereof. When he
came back after his noontide meal, he
found his sleigh so badly smothered that
its tongue was sticking out nine feet.
and then only reached through the
superabundant mass of snow that had
been shoveled off the roof into it.
The big rotary snow plow started up
from Portland yesterday morning, but
for some reason did not get here. , The
local passenger which was behind it was
abandoned and No 1 which arrived here
early, lay here all day. Since writing
the above the rotary got here in
damaged condition last night, and was
temporarily repaired at the shops, leav
ing for Portland this morning ahead of
No. 1.
The city council last night granted a
franchise to T. J. Seufert and J. W,
Condon to build and Operate a telephone
line within the city limits. The gentle.
men were interviewed this morning by
a Chronicle reporter, and stated that
work would be begun as soon as the
weather would permit. They further
stated that the line would be first-class
in every respect, and that it would be
operated day and night.
The suurise thi3 morning was beauti
ful. - The first rays touched the summits
of the mountains across the river and
the snow gleamed and glistened as if the
whole mountain range was made of
mother-of-peavl. Off to the west at the
same time an immense rainbow, its
colors perfect, sent its mighty arch al
most to the zenith, while the grand old
Columbia swept majestically beneath it,
bearing its burden of ice down to the
sounding sea.
The steamer Regulator made a trip
down the river a short distance this
afternoon just to see how things looked
The river was found to be open,' though
considerable ice was running. In conse
quence she will leave her wharf at the
regular hour, 7 o'clock, tomorrow morn
ing for Cascade Locks. If the Dalles
City can get through the ice the boats
will connect, but those desiring to go to
points beyond the Locks will have to
take their chances on getting down as
best they can. A telegram at 3 o'clock
states that the river is jammed solid
with ice as far down as can be seen from
Bonneville. -
The Agricultural College.
Regent Blandford of the Agricultural
college, returned home from Pullman
Monday. He reports. the college in fine
condition, 150 pupils beingin attendance.
The new and imposing administration
building of granite and pressed brick is
now completed. He also brought a
Bample of unrefined sugar made at
the college,' from Washington - sugar
beets, which looks good enough to eat,
and may be seen in the window of the
Stewart-Holmes drug store. MrBland
ford hopes our farmers - will attend the
farmers' winter school at the college
which we speak of elsewhere. ,

. There is some snow this morning, but
the snow is uot so plentiful as the stories
concerning other heavy snowfalls. ' We
have heard' some pretty tough ones, too
tough to bear printing, but some of the
milder ones might not break the type.
One narrator told a gentle one about
driving three thousand head of
sheep onto the head of the John Day.
A heavy snow came on, that fell so thick
and fast that the sheep were soon cov
ered to the depth o! twelve feet. A
sleet came on top of this moistening the
snow, and this being followed by a cold
snap the crust froze solid. - The sheep
began to move around under this crust
the warmth pf their bodies melting holes
through the crust in places so that they
had plenty of air. The grass started, bar
ing protected from -the cold, and when
spring came and the snow began to melt
the owner who thought he had lost his
whole band, happening' by that way
heard the old bell-wether and on pros
pecting was delighted to discover the
whole flock alive and in good condition
for mutton.
Another small yarn was told on one
Abe Ritchie, an old mountaineer of Cal
ifornia, who got caught in a terrible
storm above Woodford's on the head of
the Carson river. Abe took refuge under
a big pine tree, and the snow fell an
inch a minute for eleven days. ' It struck
us as being remarkable, that a man
could just hit the even figure of a quarter
of-a-mile of snow without batting an
eye, and bo we left without hearing the
end of that yarn. .
An Adventure With m Cow.
- A cow ! The name is very familiar,
and the cow possesses that peculiar fac
ulty of becoming too familar. A cow 1
The pronunciation is very tame, and so
is the cow. It is with feelings of uneasi
ness and apprehension that I write this
awe-inspiring name. I feel a quivering
sensation whene'er 1 see, or hear, or
tell of this dark queen of disquietude,
My landlord being in a state of
whenceness, it was my duty to milk the
cow, thus alleviating the responsibili
ties of the careworn matron. 'Twas
with a light and buoyant heart that I
went out into the pasture on that event
ful evening for Old Brindle, proud Old
Brindle ! Well I remember the majes.
tic tosB of her queenly bead as she gazed
upon my manly bosom. Nothing loath
she hastened homward.
After driving her into the barn,
threw toe milt bucket upon my arm
and marched boldly to ber side. Stand !
and Bhe stood ; Hist 1 and she histed,
and I found myself in a pile of old bar
ness in the rear of the barn, a collar
around my neck, the lines wrapped se
curely around my feet and a bridle bit
in my mouth. Everything betokened a
disturbance of no quiet nature. I muBt
confess that I felt extremely cowed. I
let the calt milk that cow and I re
paired to the house to bathe my weary
joints with arnica. I'm not afraid or a
cow at all, but the milk does not pay for
the loss of equilibrium.

The Grave Wan Opened.
We have heard a story that seems to
bear the evidences of truth- about It, to
the effect that a grave in Sunset ceme
tery had been opened by parties evi
dently intending to rob it. It seems
that some time ago, the body of a little
grandchild of S. B. Adams was removed
from some other graveyard to the Sun
set cemetery. At the time it was noticed
that the coffin seemed very heavy and it
was suggested that the body was petri
fied. A few days ago Mr. Frisco in
formed Mr. Adams that someone had
been digging into the grave. Mr. Adams
accompanied by Mr. Barnett, went out
to the cemetery, and an investigation
disclosed the fact that the dirt had been
removed from the grave and the coffin
opened, although all had been carefully
replaced. It is supposed the Btory of the
petrification caused the work to be done,
and ' on this being found incorrect the
ghouls tried to conceal their work.
A New Ore Sen n to.
The White Swan is certainly the valu
able gold property that its friends have
claimed for it.
On Friday evening last a rich and new
ore vein was struck west in the 150 foot
level and -from a vein of three or four
inches it has increased in width until at
the present time it is about four feet
wide, four inches of it showing free gold
to the eye. This find is of greatest im
portance and today the White Swan is
worth five times the money that it was
when Mr. Tarbell took control of the
property only two months ago.
The latest development may change
the aspect of sale negotiations that have
been pending for some time, but to what
extent remains to be seen. '
Died at His Post.
News reached here this morning that
Samuel Tucker bad died in his cab at
some point on the road between Bridal
Veil and Portland. His engine was en
gaged in pushing the rotary snow plow,
and Tucker was aitting at his post in the
cab when he suddenly fell to the floor,
dead. - It is said to have been a case of
apoplexy. Mr. Tucxer was a young
man, though an old engineer, being prob
ably about 35 years of age, and was very
popular not only among the railroad
boys, but wherever known. We under
stand the body will be taken to Portland
on No. J this afternoon. . .

was irrevocably tied. '
A Mew Year' Sentiment.
Henry Watterson was the lion of the
New England dinner in New York Sat
urday night. After speaking of the ap.
pearance before the society several years
ago of Henry W. Grady, he said :
"I appeal from the men in silken hose,
who danced to music made by slaves
and called it freedom from the men in
bell-crowned hats, who led Hesfer
Prynne to her shames and called it re.
hgion to that Americanism which
reaches forth its arms to Bmite wromr
with reason and truth, secure in the
power of both. I appeal from the pa
triarchs' of New England to the poets of
New England ; from Endicott to Lowell ;
from Winthrop to Longfellow; from
Norton to Holmes ; and I appeal in the
name and by the rights of that common
ciuzenBnip oi that common origin
back both of the Puritan and the Cava
lier to which all of us owe our being.
Let the dead past, consecrated by the
blood of its martyrs not by its savage
hatred darkened alike by kingcraft and
priestcraft let the dead past bury its
dead. Let the preeent and the future
ring with the. song of the singers,
Blessed be the lessons they teach, the
laws they make. Blessed be the eye to
see, the light to reveal. Blessed be Tol
erance, sitting ever on the right hand of
God to guide the way with loving word,
as blessed be all that brines us nearer
the goal of true patriotism, distrust of
watchwords and labels, ebams and
heroes, belief in our country and our
selves."
Where Went It and How?
W. S. Hastings was running his horse
power wood saw at Walla' Walla last
Monday, with the assistance of two men,
and to all intents and purposes the saw
was in good condition when the men be
gan work, After working some time the
saw, like grandfather's clock, stopped
short, never to go again. The men be
gan to investigate and found that the
fly wheel had suddenly disappeared. It
had burBted, and that, too, without mak
ing any noise. So 'silently did it fly
away that the stopping of the saw was
the only intimation that anything was
wrong. One piece flew, a quarter of a
mile away .EaBt Oregonian.
