A good deal of ice ia floating in the
river today, and ia congregating at the
bend below town. The ferryboat has
discarded the use of its cable till the
river is free from ice. .
In yesterday's Chronicle where it
read that a deed was recorded from
Mary Laughlin to Frank Laugnlin, in
place ot the latter the name of Frank
Creighton should have appeared.
The sidewalks this morning were cov
ered with a film of ice, which made
walking exceedingly precarious. Most
people were third party men, for the
time being, and took the middle of the
road.
Union street is the popular resort to
day. The coasting is excellent, and
sleds starting from Tenth street come as
far as Second. The hill has been
crowded with youngsters all day, and
from the noise they made, the enjoy
ment must have been intense.
Any of The Dalles Democrats who are
counting upon going to the national
Democratic convention should wire for
rooms in Chicago, as that city was
chosen as the place for holding the big
meeting. Four ballots were cast, Cin-
cmnati, St. Louis and New York being
the other contestants.
Sometime ago Mr. W. W. Wihon and
Charles Connelly had their picture
taken and sent the photograph to Japan,
where a Japanese artist painted their
likenesses. Mr. Wilson received the
picture yesterday, and has been showing
it. to hib friends as a sample of what the
Japanese can do in artistic lines. The
likenesses are very good.
The city streets were given over to
sleighing last night. . The snow had
packed so that the runners glided easily
over the frozen surface, while the tem
perature was just at the point where it
was both comfortable 'and exhilarating
. to be in the open air. A half-dozen or
more four-horae sleighs, filled with jolly
young people, paraded the streets, while
a host of cutters sped along after them.
Among the sleighing parties was one
composed of members of the Epworth
League of the Methodist church.

Wednesday, February 5th, at 10 a. m.
At that time the time and place of hold
ing the state convention will be de
termined. What is'the matter with The
Dalles being the proper place for holding
the state convention? Portland has
been well treated by the committee for
many years and it would be a graceful
act to give to the metropolis of Eastern
Oregon the honor of being the conven
tion citv. Everv candidate and dele
gate would be treated fairly and hos
pitably. Last night was the regular banquet
night at the Union Whist Club, Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh Glenn being the entertain
ers. At the conclusion of the whist
playing Mrs. Hudson andMiss Marden
were found to have tied for the first
prize, but a drawing of lots gave it to
Mrs. Hudson. Mrs. Hilton won the
booby. The banquet tables were ar
ranged in an unusually pretty manner,
large potted plants being in the center,
while cut flowers added to the beauty of
the scene. After supper the members
enjoyed themselves in dancing. The
whist club contains some genuine hu
morists, and they were at their best
upon this occasion.
People who were waiting for the local
to pull out this afternoon saw what
came nearly proving a fatal accident.
One of the Sandoz brothers, who lives up
Mill creek, had tied his team in front of
the Columbia hotel. The horses fright
ened at the' approach of the" train, and
plunging forward, got upon the side
walk. Mr. Sandoz grabbed one of them
by the bridle, but being unable to con
trol the frantic animals, slipped and fell
between them.' Several bystanders
rushed to his rescue and extricated.him
from his perilous position, not, however,
before he was seriously injured. One
of the horses had tramped upon his
breast, and he received an ugly gash
under bis right eye. His escape from
either being killed or losing his eye was
very narrow, and he can congratulate
himself that aid arrived so promptly
Wasco county has increased more in
population in the past five years than
any other county in Eastern Oregon
The increase this county shows by the
census of 1895 over that of 1890 is 1,266,
Sherman county, which bv sentiment
and location seems still a part of Wasco,
is the next on the list, its population
having increased 698 in the same space
of time. , If . these two counties have
been able to forge anead at such rates
.during the years of unprecedented hard
times, what will be the rate when times
are good again? Immigration is being
attracted to the fertile lands of Sherman
and Wasco counties, and the next five
years will see an increase in population,
which will make these figures, at pres
ent satisfactory, eeem insignificant. The
best of it is that these people who have
made their homes with us are glad they
came. "

A Sherman county man, at present
residing in The Dalles, has a chance of
obtaining some fame' and fortune
through his inventive powers. Mr. C
W. Barzee received through the mail
yesterday from Washington a patent for
a straw-burning btove. The invention
which Mr. Barzee perfected last spring,
is the result of ideas which he has enter-
toined for fifteen years, though not till
recently did he make an effort to obtain
a patent. The Btraw-burning stove
promises to be a useful and convenient
arrangement. The points of novelty
and improvement for which the patent
was granted, being that the straw is fed
into the stove from outside the bouse, so
there is no dirt or straw leavings in the
room. The heat of the room is not
changed so much in firing, as in the or
dinary wood or coal stove. The stove
can be filled with straw and the cinders
removed in one minute's time, find will
continue one hour at sufficient heat to
keep a room comfortable in ordinary
winter weather. Mr. Barzee is confident
that his invention will be found a useful
contrivance and a demand for it be
created.
As can be Been by the school clerk's
call, which is published in another col
umn,a meeting will be held in the Court
street school house Jan. 31st, to consider
the needs of the district and determine
what amount shall be voted to levy for
the support of the schools and what
amount should be raised to pay on the
indebtedness of the district. Besides
tbese.matters the subject of providing
additional school room for the children
of the district will ccme up. The school
children in tnis district keep increasing
at a rate that gives the directors much
concern aKut where to put them. At
the time Clerk Jacobeen made his last
census, it was thought that the number
was pretty high, but the next enumera
tion, will doubtless, exceed that of last
year. Yesterday the beginners classes
were organized and the entrance of these
little ones makes the demand for in
creased accommodation more imperative.
Some provision will have to be made for
additional room, and it is this matter
which the people will be called upon to
consider at the next meeting. The
growth and excellence of schools are
matters -of satisfaction to the inhabitants
of The Dalles.

Second and Federal Sts., ' THE DALLES, OR.
A Tedious Trip.
Passengers who arrived on the de
layed passenger train from Portland
last evening report a tedious trip. The
train left Portland Thursday evening on
time, but was unable to proceed further
than Oneonta. A;t this point a freight
train and the rotary plow were stuck in
an avalanche of snow. A freight with
sixty-one cars had left Albina, and as
the engine had about all it could do to
draw the cars on a smooth ' track, its
power to buck any enow was limited.
It was found necessary to set out a num
ber of cars before Oneonta was reached.
What made matters worse was that only
one engine was pushing the rotary and
could not furnish the power requisite to
go through the drifts. The snow piled
in over the engine and plow so that
finally the engine was unable to back
out, and things came to a standstill.
Conductor Bennett, with a large force
of men and several engines, came up
from Portland and proceeded to get the
freight . train from out its difficulty
Fifteen cars were covered with snow
When the freight train was extricated
more engines were attached to the snow-
plow, and the freight train being put on
a siding, the rotary -was allowed to pass
Quick work was made of the drifts from
that time on.
The steamer R. R. Thompson left
Portland yesterday morning, intending,
if necessary, to pick up the west-bound
passengers at Bonneville. The opening
of the road, however, obviated the ne
cessity of a transfer. At 9 :30 laBt night
the train that left Portland twenty-four
hours previous, arrived in The Dalles.
Two engines were attached.
The local train arrived on time today,
and the road at present is clear.
Good Mews for Warrant-Holders.
News was received in The Dalles Sat
urday night that the supreme court of
Washington at Olympia bad affirmed
the decision of the superior court of
Klickitat county in the now famous
bond case. The decision covers many
points of contention, but the main effect,
so far as Dalles warrant-holders are con
cerned, is that warrants issued between
Nov. 12, 1839, and March 9, 1893, are
valid obligations against the county,
and that bonds can be exchanged for
validated warrants. The decision is of
much interest to people in this city, be
cause over $60,000 in Klickitat warrants
are held in The Dalles.
The case was one of the most Import
ant ever beard before Washington's
highest tribunal, and the decision will.
be satisfactory, both to warrant-holders
and to the people of our neighboring
county who are anxious to see progress
made in getting out of the pressing debt
which has threatened her credit. Klick
itat county, by wise management, will
in time work out of her financial difficul
ties, and by the aid of her natural re
sources, be among the first of the state's
prosperous counties.
The law firm of Huntington & Wilson
of this city was associated with C. H.
Spauiding in presenijjing the side of the
county and the Dalles warrant-holders
to the supreme court and in obtaining
the favorable decision.

Funeral of Thomas M. GUmore.
The funeral of the late Thomas M.
Gil more took place yesterday afternoon
from bis former residence, near Rock
land, W. C. Curtis, pastor of the Con
gregational church of this city officiat
ing. Notwithstanding the bad travel
ing, a large number of friends and
neighbors gathered at the house to pay
their last respects to the dead. Tom.
Gilmcre, as he was familiarly) called,
was well known to everyone in The
Dalles, and a short biographical sketch,
will be of interest:
Thomas M. Gilmore was born May
IS, 1845, in Washington county, Oregon,
where the town of Cornelius now stands.
He moved with his parents in 1846 to
Yamhill county, where he lived until
1861, moving thence to Portland, Or.,
where he attended the Portland acad
emy. He enlisted as a private in Com
pany D, First Regiment, Oregon Volun
teer Infantry, in 1862, and served in that
company until the close of the war.
After being honorably discharged, he
returned to the Willamette valley,
where he remained until 1873, coming
thence to Klickitat county at that date.
He lived in various parts of Eastern
Oregon and Washington until 1881. He
was married in December of that year
to Mrs. Sarah Lewis, since which date
he has lived continuously in Klickitat
county until the time of his death, Jan
uary 17, 1896.
During his residence in Klickitat
county he was chosen to many positions -of
trust by his neighbors, which showed
the high esteem in which he was held
by those who knew him best.
A wife and two children, together
with an aged mother, two brothers and
four sisters, survive him ; and to them
the community extends its heartfelt
sympathy.
Another Success Scored.
The necktie social, given on Saturday
evening last, by The Dalles Lodge, No.
2, 1. O. G. T., proved in every respect to
be a pleasant affair. The program
showed good taste in its selection, and
was well rendered, each number being;
heartily encored.' Owing to the severa
nces of the weather during the preced
ing week preventing the rehearsal, sev
eral interesting numbers were Omitted.
Each lady brought a basket contain
ing a necktie and refreshments for two.
the necktie corresponding to a bow worn
by the lady. At the proper time the
baskets were auctioned off to the highest
bidder. Competition was rife during;
the bidding, and some of the lees for
tunate bidders suffered the sight of see
ing the choice of their heart, lunching
with the "other fellow."
The large audience gave evidence of
the high esteem with which these en- .
tertainments are held.
The Republicans of Crook county are
getting their ammunition ready for the
coming campaign. At a meeting of the
Prineville Republican club, held in that
city last Thursday, the following dele
gates were chosen to attend the state
