because the men usually stagger home
from them. ' t

o'clock this morning.
The four delightful occasions of each
day, the three meals and the evening

bers of the family meet.
The kindergarten will open Monday in
the old rooms where it will remain for

"J. G. Koontz remembered this office
this morning with a nice selection of
blotting paper bearing the advertise
ments of the insurance companies he
represents.
The weather according to Mr. Pague,
will be colder tomorrow, with enow.
This may be all right for Eastern Ore
gon, but in the basin around The Dalles
we fancv that it is more likely to be
rain than snow.
The rotary got through to Bridal Veil
shortly after noon today. This is beyond
the worst of the snow, and the train is
probably now in Portland. It is ex
pected that a train will be worked
through tonight nearly on time.
Serviceable little mats for the wash-
stand may "be made of bath toweling.
After these mats have been cut the
shape and size required, the edges are
overcast and finished with a blanket
stitch in Shetland wool.
.Mrs. John D. Rockefeller has brought
up her daughters very BenBibly. They
teach in mission Sunday schools, and
one, when a student at Vassar, used her
pocket money to defray the expenses of
a poor girl at the same college,
The sound of the sleigh bells and the
tooting of the tin- horns last night gave
notice that the sleighing, however poor,
was being taken advantage of. The
snow is deep enough plenty for sleigh.

make good footing for the horses.
In Finland, more than in all other
countries, women enter into the business
of life. They are clerks, doctors, den
tists, builders, managers of small com
paniea and bank cashiers. - For the lat
ter office they are especially sought-on
account of their reputation for honesty,
A dispatch from Bonneville at 1
o'clock, says the ice gorge moved out be

river will be clear tomorrow, and it may
be possible the Dalles City will reach
the Locks today.

yesterday.1
. '. Mr. French will show here next week,
his agent coming up tomorrow to com
plete arrangements.
The local passenger arrived through
from Portland on time today, the first
time since the storm begun a week ago.
If the fellows who ride behind the
jingling sleigh-bells would kindly avoid
our corner they would add much to our
piece and peace of mind.
Members of the literary society please
take notice that tonight's meeting will
be postponed, on account of the hall be
ing used for church purposes.

;,The telephone line, which has been
clown near Portland since Thursday, is
again in working order, connections be
ing made at 10 o'clock this morning.
The ordinance about clearing side
walks is much better obeyed by our citi
zens than by the city itself. The street
crossings are in anything but good
shape.
The roads through the country are not
very well broken yet. Yesterday HonsN
M. A. Moody and Senator Hilton went
out to Boyd, and it took them five hours
to get there. "'.'
Owing to the cold snap and the rapid'
lv-increasincr ice in the river, the Rezu
lator will tie up tonight until further
notice. The trips yesterday and today
allowed her to clean up all odds and
ends of freight in good shape.
Just listen to those sleigh-bells, and
then realize how hard it is to make a
newspaper with the merry jingling

a minute.
In mentioning the Odd bellows in
stallation program the other day, we in
advertently failed to make mention of
Miss Russell's recitation, which was
pronounced exceptionally .good, as all
those who have had the pleasure of hear
ing the talented young lady, will readily
believe. -
It is really astonishing how . people
will prevaricate. It has been telegraphed
telephoned, written, expressed and
freighted up here that there were seven
feet of snow at the Cascades, but par
ties who made the trip on the Regulator
yesterday say that there was at no time
over two feet of the fleecy at that point,
the other five existed only in someone's
imagination, and didn't cool its fervor
either.
A fine Chinook prevailed all afternoon
yesterday, and the result is that we have
only two feet of snow where we had
three before. A cold wave swept down
. . . ...
from the east during the night, and the
gentle Chinook hied itself away. In
consequence of this, the thermometer
registered 13 above zero this morning,
and more than one average good citizen
profaned a few times when the faucet
refused to turn or the water to flow.
Tuesday's Daily.
County commissioners court tomorrow,
There will be a meeting of Jackson
Engine Company, at the council chamber
at 7 :30 this morning.

its officers for the ensuing term last
night, and also raised four Esquires to
Knighthood.
Just cast your eye, one ot them is
enough, on M. HonywHl's new ad., as it
will appear tomorrow. You will find
something to interest you.
Nine carloads of hogs arrived here from
Weiser, Idaho, and other points east of
us on their wayp Troutdale. Many of
them are dead, and the smell is enough
to stop the ice in the river.
The new telephone system seems to
be getting a large number of subscribers
and it is probable there will be nearly
200 phones put in. It will- be extended
to any point in the city limits, and will
be operated day and night.
There were but few sleighs on the
streets today and the tinkling bells
were unheard. All morning the snow
came down steadily and all afternoon a
light drizzling rain fell. In consequence
the streets and sidewalks have been de
serted all day.
D. L. Cates, or "Curg," is in the city,
shaking hands with his friends, which
means nearly everybody in the city.- He
is much pleased with the Locks, though
he says it is dull there now on account
of the work being shut down by the
snow.
Sometime since, the Gibsons, husband
and wife, were tried before Justice Da
vis for a trifling offense and found
guilty. As .they expressed a desire to
leave the county, the- Judge suspended
sentence, but told them if they came
back they would have to take their pun
ishment. " As they returned a day or so
ago, a commitment was made out for
them today. It is quite probable that
their next move will be to the insane
asylum. ,
The river is blocked with ice this
morning from Crates 's point up to the
Regulator wharf and is steadily filling
up above that ' point. The Regulator
got up steam this morning, anoMorcing
her way through the shoTe Ice went into
winter quarters at Hungry harbor above
the city.
Today the sentence imposed by the
white man's laws on Caroline, expires,
and she will be again given the wild
freedom of the forest, if she wants it.
However, the chances are that the fall
ing, snow and dreary landscape will
cause here to eschew the liberty of the
foothills and to drown her sorrows and
forget her woes at the first opportunity.
Rev.' W. H. Sellick on Sunday even
ing preached a sermon from the theme
"The Dance of Death." He treated the
general subject of dancing and then took
up the charity ball to be given at Fra
zer's opera house. The persons who are
active in making preparations were re
ferred to in severe terms as contributing
to the recognition of an institution
which is productive of immoral results.
His remarks were most emphatic and he
scored the charity ball idea very severe

The English Literature class, with a
few invited friends, were entertained by
Mrs. A. R. Thompson and Miss Rucb at
the home of the former last evening,
when the reading of "Macbeth" was the
principal feature of the evening.. The
different parts were well rendered, that
of Macbeth -being taken by Mr. Nicho
las Sinnott and Lrdy Macbeth by Miss
MeliBsa Hill. - Food for the mind was
not the only, kind partaken of, for a
dainty lunch was served after the read
ing, and then games occupied the latter
part of the evening, which served to
divert thoughts from murderous deeds
and the vision of Banquo's ghost.

The New Year was christened by a
heavy snow "storm that makes it very
bad for all stock that are not under
shelter. The snow fell steadily for about
twenty-four hours, covering the earth to
the depth of two feet on the level, mak
ing it very disagreeable under foot,

Old King Frost, assisted by the north
wind, has forged his ice chain upon
ponds and creeks. Here and on every
hill is seen the small boy (or rather he
is heard.-for sometimes the volume of
gentle voice is greatly in excess of his
stature) coasting and skating at the im
minent danger to his cranium, and the
anxious mother is ousy applying arnica
and plasters, and generally soothing the
woes of this active member of every
houeehold.
Now is the farmers holiday, but he ac

Mr. A. Canfield of Boyd was in town
last week.
Mrs. J. Craft is confined to her bed by
sickness, and the two children of Mrs
Laura Hinman are sick with the scar-
letina.
Mrs. Polk Butler is spending the holi
days on the Ridge at their farm, leaving
Omer to act as "chef" and Roy to. wres

The W. L. S. bonbon social Saturday
night was enjoyed by quite a crowd of
young and old. A spicy literary pro
gram, interspersed with music and sing
ing, commenced the exercises of the
evening. .
Waldo Brigham read a comic selection
of "An Old Darky's lecture on Apples."
Ruby Slusher recited "Her First Let
ter," which was nicely done for the first
attempt.
.Pearly Woodford spoke -'Small .Dress
making."
Little Tcody Warren, only 3 years
old, ' recited "Dickory, Dickory Dock,"
without a blunder.
Katie Whipple and Jennie Moore
spoke their pieces with credit to them
selves.
Albert Haynes deserves mention. He
recited with great distinctness for one eo
young.
One
ot the striking features of the
evening was a recitation by Amy John
ston, which is a very pathetic piece and
was executed in a manner deserving
much praise. She was dressed in rags
with her long hair hanging, which with
her excellent delivery, made it more
impressive and was met with loud ap
plause. The company then formed in a grand
march, making a very comical appear
ance as thev went to and Iro, wearing
the bonbon caps, which were of many
different shapes. Games were indulged
until 11 o'clock. All spent an enjoya
ble evening.
New Year's night was celebrated by
the masquerade ball. A large assem
blage ot spectators and maskers crowded
the hall. ' The scene was one of gro
tesqueness, composed of a fantastic mix
ture of gaily-dressed, nimble-legged
clowns, fair brides, dainty flower-girls,
Japanese ladies, sailor boys, yachting
girls, bootblacks, negroes, negresses,
and almost every character imaginable,
was here represented. Among some of
the most noticeable was a costume as
"Sunflower" by Mrs. Mary Vanderpool,
which showed much skill and taste in
the arrangement. T. H. Johnston rep
resented a cavalier of the 16th century,
and well did he do it. Mrs. Laura
Johnston was "Sleighbells," and re
ceived a prize for having the pret
tiest ladies' costume. She was dressed
in white, dotted with snowflakes and
frost, while a string of silvery sleighbells
responded to every movement of the
wearer. Ann Neal represented "Dufur
flouring mills." She was dressed in a
plain dress entirety made of flour sacks
the letter side out. She gracefully bal
anced a sack of flour on her shoulder.
while miniature sacks were hung about
her. It was one of the best sustained
characters. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. H.
Dufur went as King and Queen Cotton,
and took one of the prizes. . James Staats
acted a negressj and he did it to perfec
tion, for very few knew him. It- was
well worthy of note. The "German
Doctor" was effectually carried out by
A., Howie.' Dan McDonald was dressed
as an bid lady, and received the booby
prize, which was a Chinese doll.' He
looked very motherly as he administered
the proper chastisement to the inoffen
sive doll. . Mrs. Ed Bohna received the
first prize for the best sustained ladies'
character. . She was a Japanese ' lady.
Thos. Glavy received the. first prize for
the best gentleman . character, as an
Irish lord." Over seventy-five num
bers were sold, and dancing was carried
on until the "wee sma' hours" of the
night. - ' Quiz.-
- Notes of the Storm.
Last night the dispatcher's office of
O. R. Sc N. was moved out to Trutdale
from Portland and the first news from
mat village received lor sometime was
sent through on the wires. -. That was
the nearest point to Portland at which
the telegraph lines were in working con
dition. There had been about fifteen
inches of snow, and Thursday afternoon
and night a tremendous fall of sleet
wrought destruction on all sides. The
street cars are tied up, the streets block
aded, telephone, electric, telegraph and
rapt
the
trolley wires are down all over the city,
which is in darkness, not an electric
light burning. It will require practi
cally a new system of wires for all of
these plants as the down wires have to.
be cut and put out of the way at once.
The electric cars to Oregon City, Van
couver' and the city suburbs are all
abandoned, and the telegraph lines are
down in all directions from Portland for
a distance of twenty miles. "Oyer this
same" area the fruit trees are about
ruined, being broken down "by the weight
of the sleet. The damage from this
source is immense, but cannot be esti
mated until the snow disappears.
From Bonneville to Troutdale the O.
R. & N. is blockaded. A terrific wind
storm swept across from the Cape Horn
country and at Latourelle the snow
drifted on the track to the depth of 30
feet. At the Cascades there is about 7
feet of snow on the level, gradually de
creasing from that to the east, to 3 feet
here and one at Arlington.
The rotary snow plow from La Grande
was sent for and arrived here this
morning.
It was expected that No. 1 could be
worked through to Troutdale and possi
bly Portland sometime tonight.
The river is frozen solid at Bonneville,
and the boats sent out by the O. R. & N.
to attempt to reach Bonneville yesterday,
could not get beyond Vancouver, the
river being blocked at that point.
The Regulator left on regulalar time
this morning, and will probably find her
way to the Locks, but it seems assured
that the Dalles City will not meeet her.
It is barely possible the ice gorges of the
lower river may have moved out as the
weather is not cold, but there is not
much hope of it.
The O. R. & N. expects to get a train
through from Portland tomorrow, but
nothing can be done until the wind lets
up at Latourelle, as the drifts fill up in
a few minutes after the rotary has forced
its way through them.
The center of the terrific sleet storm
seems to have been at Portland, though
wires are down all over the Sound coun
try, indicating that it got its work in
there.
Want s New Conn ty. ,
Mr. A. R. Lyle, a prominent resident
and stockraiser of Crook county, was in
the city yesterday, and will not return
home until after the close of the legisla
tive session, he representing his country
in that body. Mr. Lyle is one of the
leading republicans of Southeastern
Oregon, and his election as member of
the legislature in a county strongly dem
ocratic, attests his popularity. He
states that stock in Crook county are in
good condition, and. taking the winter
well. One week ago there were twenty
ihches of snow on the range, but now it
is rapidly disappearing.
Mr. Lyle says that the people in bis
vicinity are anxious to have a new
county formed out of the eastern part of
Crook, the northwest portion of Grant,
and a slice frjm the southeast part of
Grant, and a bill is prepared for such
purpose. Mr. Lyle has agreed, if the
majority of the taxpayers living within
the lines of the proposed new county
will join in asking for the same, he will
introduce the bill, and do what is in bis
power to secure its passage. The sheep
men of Crook county are hoping for
better times, and better prices for wool,
when the present democratic administra
tion goes out of power, and the republi
cans again assume control of the govern
ment. Until then they are content to
live as beet they may. Mr. Lyle left for
Southern Oregon last evening and will
return to Portland during the week.
Degree of Honor.
Wednesday evening there was a goodly
number of members of Fern lodge out to
witness the installation- of officers, not
withstanding the snow was falling fast
and the streets were well nigh impassa
ble. The installation service was per
formed in a very pleasing manner by
Mrs. Mary S. Myers, past chief of honor.
The following officers were duly in
stalled for the ensuing term :
Mrs.' B, J. Russell, chief of honor;
Mrs. Maggie Herrin, lady of honor ; Mrs.
Alice Runyon, chief of ceremonies ; Mrs.

An Expert Contractor."
Yesterday about noon Will Condon,
who had lieen shoveling snow from the
sidewalks in front of his residence in
a desultory sort of a way for jr.st long
enough to got an idea how big the con
tract was, and also to begin to think
that it was real wirked of him to do that
work and deprive some needy person of
the profits of the job, wn9 approached
- . ....
oy a Drawny, oroad-shouldered man,
who struck him for the job. "
"How much do you want," said Will,
"to ciean the whole walk?" "I will
work for ; four bits an hour," said the
man.- "That's too much, "but I'll give
yon thirty cents an hour," was the re
ply. And then thev argued : ; "Won't
work for that." '"Very well, I will pay
no more." "It isn't enough." ; "Its all
I will give.": And so it -went, neither
labor nor capital conceding- the point,
until finally the man said: "Well,
need the work,' what will you give me tfi
doit all?" Will sized that length of
the walk up, made a mental calculation
as to how long it had taken to clear the
little spot he had gotten away with, and
casting a furtive glance out of the corner
of his left eye, said: "I'll give you $2
for the job."
The man walked the whole length of
the walk, had the work all pointed out
so that there could . be .no dispute, and
with a sigh remarked":' "Well, it ain't
enough; but I need the money and
I'll take it." "Sail in," said Will,
passing over the enow shovel, and
then he went into the bouee, got into his
slippers and as lie warmed his feet and
settled down to solid comfort with The
Chronicle before him', he felt the solid
pleasure of home surroundings, and
commiserated the other fellow who was
filling his place behind the snow shovel.
Directly he saw a man ' with a . snow
shovel on his shoulder coming to the
door, and found his man had completed
the work. He could scarcely believe his
eyes, but realizing the work was finished
he stepped outside to pay the man off,
so that Mrs. Condon wouldn't know how
high snow shoveling was. It took the
man 40 minutes to earn $2. Will never
kicked, but he told a friend of his it
would be some time before he put an ad
in The Chronicle as a contractor. .
Don't Shoot the Robins.
Complaint is" made that not only the
destructiye small boy with his airgun
and bean-shooter, hut men with shot
gun and rifle have been killing robins in
the past few days. The heavy snows
have driven the little fellows down from
the hills until they are more numerous
here than ever before known. There is
no reason on earth why anyone should
kill them and the legislature was. so
strongly of that opinion that it passed a
stringent law against it. The least fine
for the offense is $5, the greatest $100.
The members of the rod and gun club
do not desire to make trouble for anyone,
but insist that all offenses against the
game law coming to their knowledge will
be vigorously prosecuted. This notice
is published at their request, that all
may take warning, and parents will do
well to caution their boya that the kill
ing of robins is against the law. It is
contrary to a boy's nature to let a bird
tempt him vainly to take a shot, but it
will have to be done.
A Wedding and a Death.
We clip from the Antelope Herald the
three items following:
Married on Christmas day, December
25th, 1894, at the residence of the bride's
parents, on Hay Creek, by Rev. Wade,
Mr. Joseph McColIum to Miss Lydia
Dunham. The happy young couple at
tended the New Year's ball at this place.
As we go to press the sad news
reaches us of the death of Mrs. O. S.
Boardman, one of the best known and
highly respected ladies of Mitchell. She
was ill only a few days. She leaves a
husband, son, daughter and sister-in-law
to mourn her death.
'Last Wednesday, January 2d, was the
worst and most disagreeable day this
section has witnessed for years. Early
in the morning a heavy enow storm, or
we might more appropriately say, a
Dakota blizzard, set in, and kept it up
with great fury until late in the night.
Next morning fifteen inches of snow
covered the ground more than has
fallen at one time since '90. As we go
to press" (Friday morning) a glorious
Chinook is blowing and the "beautiful"
congealed element will probably be all
gone in a few' days.
Odd Fellows' Installation.
The Odd Fellows gave a public in
stallation of officers last night to mem
bers of the order and a few invited
friends. An interesting musical and
literary program was rendered, the feat
ures of which were a piano duet by the
Misses Nickelsen, piano and violin by
Miss Ruch and H. A. Yorke, which was
heartily encored, and a quartette ren
dered by . Mrs. B. S. Huntington, Mrs.
Chas. Corson and Messrs. Balle Johnson
and Wm. Magee. The address was de
livered by Hon.. John Michell and is
pronounced by those who heard it, a
masterly effort. .
The officers were installed by P. G. M;
Dr. Doane, after which all were invited
to the room down stairs, adjoining N.
Harris' store, where a splendid supper
was Eerved by A. Keller. Abcut 100
persons were present.
The Chronicle prints the news. -
Why the Girls Laughed.
All the girls in Hudsonville, Mich.,
have been trying to catch Adrian Van
der Slouis ior a long time. Today they
are all laughing at him.
A fair maid of ' Jamestown, Ottawa
comity, won him, and they were married
last night. After the blushing bride
had received the congratulations of her
friends she, leaning on the bridegroom'
arm, led the way to supper. The bridal
cake was a beautiful thing, covered with
a thick layer of soft sugar and chocolate.
The cake had been too tempting for
the bride's little sister. She had helped
herself to a quarter section of it, but be
ing unable to eat it before the wedding
company went into supper, had hidden
it under the table on a chair. That waa
the" chair "'on which Adrian Van der
Slonis sat, and Adrian Van der Slouia
wore fine lavender trousers. He did
not know that the cake lurked there.
-. When he arose from the wedding feast
and led the way out of the room" the
guests began to laugh. The bride, a
woman of nerve and quick perception,
hurried Adrian and his lavender trousers
into another room. Then with a sponge
she applied gasoline where it would do
the most good and soon all evidences of
the chocolate were removed.
Then the happy couple returned to
their guests. But Adrian was ill at ease.
Bashful at best, be was damp with per
spiration and gasoline. He felt he must
do something to distract attention from
himself, so he passed around a box of
cigars. All the men took one and
lighted them. -
Then Adrian Van der Slouis took one,
bit off the end and put the cigar between
his lips. Then he took a redheaded sul
phur match and scratched it on his lav
ender trousers. There was a pufl", a
blaze, a yell of agony.
"I'm afire!" cried Adrian, clutching
his coat tails. . v
By way of rendering the promptest as
sistance all the young women shrieked.
One man seized the water pitcher, an
other ran to the well. Only the bride
kept her wits about her. She grabbed
up a hairy mat and put out the incipient
conflagration.
Adrian's trousers are ruined, and he
ate his breakfast today from the mantel.
But worst of all, the girls who tried to
win " him 'are laughing at him. New
York Heaid.
Tirenty-Flre Cents to the Pan.
A rancher lfving on Sutton creek a few
miles southeast of Baker City, brought
dozen chickens to town the other day
and disposed of them to Mr. Waller
Fernald, of the First National Bank, re
ports the Democrat. Iu dressing-one of
them gold particles were found in the
craw. A few days alter the rancher
came to town again and Mr. Fernald in
formed him of the find and suggested
that the rancher had better do a little
prospecting for diggings in the vicinity
of his home. The rancher on his return
home began a search for gold in a gulch
near bv and has been rewarded by a
prospect of twenty-five cents to the pan.
With the coming season Mr. Rancher
proposes to turn his attention to placer
mining.
Needs a New Bone.
Four inches of snow fell this morning,
and the barometer went down 38 points
blnce 5 o'clock last night, standing at 2
o'clock at 29.80. The lowest thermome
ter last night was 10 above at '9 o'clock
at which time a fog settled down oyer
the city and the temperature commenced
to rise. Shortly after noon it began to
rain with the temperature at 26.
The weather forcast from Portland for
this place today waa fair, which is as
near as that office has come to being cor
rect in 98 straight guesses. It is to be
hoped that when the' sugar echedule is
settled, and the gold reserve gets forti
fied again, Uncle Sam will buy the
signal service office at Portland a new
goose bone, for it needs it badly.
