wagon load of . dressed bogs in from
that place yesterday. There were nine

was ever brought to the city. They
were purchased by the Columbia Pack
ing Company.
The ice has become strong enough on
the sloughs east of town to make Bkating
possible, but it is eo rough that no pleas
ure can be gotten out of it. The small

Noting the effort being made to estab
lish a wool scouring plant here the East

Birrfeld. that there was absolutely no
truth in the statement, not even a foun
dation for the rumor. He added that he
was more than pleased with the treat'
ment he had received at the hands of
Mr. Birgfeld and the Orchestra Union
all of which had done everything possi
ble to make his engagement a success.
and his visit to The Dalles pleasurable,
He also added that The Dalles had one
of the finest orchestras in the state,
His remarks were heartily applauded

gain friends here.
Friday's Bally.
The weather bureau, this morning.
prognosticated for today occasional snow
and for tomorrow fair and colder weather,
It is reported that the king of Greece,
this morning, abdicated. This "local
came a long ways, but is good local these
times, just the same.
There was quite a riot in Brooklyn
this afternoon. The strikers captured
several cars and beat a passenger who
expressed sympathy for the corporation,
severely.
Miss Stevenson, daughter of the vice.
president, died at Asheville, North
Carolina, this afternoon. She had been
very low for the past three weeks, and

The sleighing is the very best, an so
is the coasting. The jingle of bells can
be heard far into the night, but the bob
sleds seem to draw the larger crowd
For one reason, it is cheaper and for
another well, there is more fun in it.
There is a severe snow storm prevail
ing along the western slopes of the
Rockies today, and trains are blockaded
everywhere. In Nevada the storm is
very severe. The snow last night at
Truckee was 18 feet ; it is today 13 and
on the summit at Cisco 26 feet.
Patrick King, who had imbibed some
what freely and had on this account in
duced someone to strike him in the face
with a beer mug, probably just to see
how the two mugs would compare, was
before the city recorder this morning,
and on top of the other ramifications,
which the luxuries of his inebriety ac
complished, he received a present of a $5
fine from the recorder, which he is now
boarding out.
Our three feet of snow, which came a
couple of weeks ago, but which has most
of it vanished, is hardly worth mention
ing alongside of the snowfall that is still
falling down on the line of the Central
Pacific. At Reno there was snow to the
depth of a foot yesterday, at Truckee,
twenty-four miles west of Reno, it was
eight feet and at Cisco, where the road
crosses the summit of the Sierra Nevadas,
eighteen feet and still snowing.

Tbe Tax Levy.
The county commissioners made the
tax levy today as follows : State, 3 mills,
state school purposes, 5 mills, county
purposes, 12 mills, county road purposes,
1 mill ; total state and county, 21 mills.
Of the levy for county purposes the one
twentieth of one mill will go to the G.
A. R. relief fund. - It will be seen that
the tax rate is the sama as last year, but
as the assessments are reduced from
fifteen to twenty per cent, the rate as
compared to last year, is quite a re
duction. .'

Dolpb Nominated on tbe First Ballot.
Salem, Jan. 16. Senator Dolph's sue
cession to his own .seat in the senate
of the United States was settled to
night in the joint caucus of the republi
can members of both houses, of the
legislature. The last vestige of op
position to the caucus proposition
died out this afternoon, when tbe
meeting of what might have been called
the anti-caucus members assembled and
decided to go into the caucus. . This
meeting was presided over by Senator
Alley, who urged a compliance with the
caucus call on those present for the good
of the party. Long before tbe hour of
assembling the door of the armory, a
room in the capitol basement, was sur
rounded by curious outsiders and much
speculation was indulged in as to the
appearance of the anti-caucus element.
Predictions of absenteeism were unful
filled, however, for tbe last of the hesi
tating ones went in just before 7 :30. and
tbe caucus began.- Organization was
effected by the election of Senator Alley
chairman, and Representative Long sec
retary. The roll-call showed every re
publican present, except Representative
Cole, of Multnomah county, who is
slightly ill tonight, but who .voted by
proxy. Considerable time was occupied,
in tact nearly all of the two hours the
caucus was in session, by preliminary
discussion, partly as to the method to
be used in voting. It was finally de
cided to call the names and have each
member as called upon drop his ballot
in a box. This was done. The first
ballot settled it. The count showed :
Dolph, 41; Fulton, 12; Tongue, 11;.
Lowell, 4;- Lord, 2; Hermann, 2;
Strong, 1 ; total, 72.
Senator Lowell's four votes were
friendly to Dolph and would have gone
to him upon a second ballot. It was
George L. Strong, of Portland, who re
ceived the single vote. It was then
moved and voted without a dissenting
voice that the nomination of Dolph be
made unanimous. News of the result
was instantly carried upstairs to the se
nate chamber, where Senator Dolph was
sitting with friends, and three cheers for
him were given with a will, at the in
stance of ex-Representative. Gullixson.
The senator was immediately surround
ed by members and citizens who crowd
ed forward to tender congratulations.
About the next busiest man was Sena
tor Simon, who was conrgatulated quite
as warmly, and seemed fully as pleased
at the resQit.
Tke End of It All.
Mr. R. A. Power, who came up from
Mosier yesterday, brought with, him
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Baker, residents of
that precinct, who, owing to mlsfor
tune, are indeed among bardlineB. The
husband is sick, nigh unto death, and
mentally deranged; tbe woman i
confirmed invalid and. physisally help
less. The county , court examined the
unfortunate man this morning, and he
was committed to the insane asylum,
being sent down in charge of Mr. Power,
who has been taking care of him. The
little woman was taken back to Mosier,
where she will be cared for by friends,
It was a touching sight to see the hus
band carried into the baggage car of the
local this afternoon on a stretcher, tbe
wife, helpless and emaciated, being
borne after him in a rocking chair.
We could not help but let our fancy
dwell upon this winding up of a life's
romance. We thought of the time when
he who, in the years gone by, in the
flush of manhood, wooed and won the
girl about whose image his heart-strings
had grown. Of the time when she had
made joyous his lite and brightened the
future with dreams, far different from
the reality. Of the faith, the hope, the
courage with which the battle of life
was fought against poverty, and bard-
ship, and disease, until hunger and
want proved too much for them. And
what a parting I
As the train pulled out the brave little
woman, her chair moved beside the cot
on which her huBband lay, clasped his
hands in her's for tbe last time. The
flesh was weak, but the spirit in that
poor little body was brave. We saw the
convulsive clasp of flesbless little hands
about the fleshless large ones, and we
saw ; tbe smile that overspread the
pinched and drawn little face as it bent
for the last time over tbe lover of her
girlhood days, tbe husband of her ma
ture years a smile that shone alone for
him and for his sake; that bid him
hope, though she was hopeless. What
visions of youthful hopes! What
dreams of girlhood days! What recol
lections of struggles and of self-denials
for his dear sake, whom now she saw
the last time; whom vet for one
brief hour her eyes might behold, her
hands touch, her heart mourn over,
swept through her mind. What an
ending for a youthful romance,! for a
life's struggle. But ere these- lines are
read the parting will be over, the ro
mance ended, the life struggle ceased.
Pboenix Tonight.
Davy Crocket last night drew a small
house, not half that should have turned
out. Mr. French and his troupe are all
excellent actors, such as The Dalles sel
dom sees, but from the attendance it
would seem that talent is not ap
preciated by our people. The play to
night is "Phoenix" and this will be the
last opportunity to hear these really
talented people. They Bhould be given
a roasing good house, if for nothing else,

to show that a good troupe can com
here and be appreciated. Besides, it will
probably be the last opportunity for
some time to enjoy a good play, for
it may be set down as a certainty that
when such actors as these are ignored
others like them are going to give us a
wide birth. We can safely promise our
readers a genuine treat in "Phoenix"
and sincerely hope that "a good house
will see the curtain go up tonight.

Will Mot Incorporate.
Hood River will not put on city airs
for a little while, the county court today
making the following order:.
"Now at this time came on for final
hearing and determination the matter of
the incorporation of the town of Hood
River, and it appearing to the court
that all the proceedings had herein were
not strictly in accordance with the law,
and that the boundaries of said pro
posed corporate limits were erroneously
defined, embracing therein the property
of Frank H. Button, Mrs. L. J Rand,
Ed Rand and Eliza E. Reynolds, whose
written remonstrances thereto were duly
presented and allowed at tbe regular
November term of this court. Now,
therefore, it is ordered and adjudged
that tbe petition for tfie incorporation of
the town of Hood River, Wasco County,
Oregon, be, and the same is hereby de
nied, and all proceedings had hereunder
held for naught."
Funeral of P. K. Grazlr.
From Mr. Wm. H. Staats, who came
in from Dufur today, we learn that the
funeral of the. late P. R. Grazir, who
died suddenly at the residence of W. L.
Hendrix, Thursday night, last, took
place at Dufur, Sunday, the body being
buried in the Odd Fellows' cemetery.
The procession was met near town by
the Dufur brass band, of which the de
ceased had been a member, and was led
by them, to the Methodist church, a
funeral march being played. At the
church the services were conducted by
A. J. Brigham. After which, preceded

by the band with another solemn march,
the long procession wound its way to the
cemetery, where after brief services the
body was laid at rest. The band played
a solemn dirge and all was over.

The weather of the past week has been
as pleasant as one could wish. No snow
at all on the nearest hills, but on our
mountains there is from fifteen to twenty
inches. John Gage came from Prine
ville one day last week, and says he
traveled through thirty inches of snow.
Dr. Hunlack and wife left us one day
last week to go to Lone Rock, where
they mean to make their home.
Ab. Tills is very ill at hii home on
Shoo Fly.
Charley Haiti, who lives in tbe
mountain vicinity, is very ill.
Puet and Flock have sold their steam
aw mill to A. Campbell. Part of tbe
payments are town property.
Mr. J. J. Cozart was in town a few
days since. He ia the same in many
respects, but has grown much older in
appearance.
The Progressive club has organized
dancing school, and now they trip the
time to tbe mazy waits. But no girls
are admitted. Don't they have a lonely
time?
A remonstrance against the new
county is being circulated in this and
other vicinities, but of its success I can
not say.
Reports are that the snow at Prine-
yille is fifteen inches.
In consequence of our- splendid
weather, many are suffering from colds.
