Hood left for Cal ifornia on this afternoon's train, going to St. Helena, Napa county, to spend the winter. ' He came around to tell us good-bye, and impress on our minds the fact that even in that land of fruits and flowers life wonld be a dreadful round of solitude, without the breezy locals and soulful editorial notes of The Chronicle. He shall have it if it takes the last button off Gabe's coat to get it there. . We stated yesterday rather prema turely that tne case of the Oregon Lum ber Company against Levi and Boras Jonos, was argued and submitted. ' We bad supposed this result would be ac complished by the time we went to press, but the reading of the testimony, which covered seventy-two pages of closely typewritten matter, was not con cluded nntil 8 o'clock last night, at which time the argument was set for 9 o'clock this morning.

The examination was made by Judge Mays and Dr. Hol- lister. The Prineville Review says : "Howard & Stearns, Je89ee Bros., Perry Read and others left last Wednesday for The Dalles with 300 head of beef cattle. Unless they meet with a buyer at The Dalles, they will ship to Omaha on their own responsibly. Columbus Johnson re' cently shipped a lot to the same place, and received a fair price and that en couraged the second shipment. The sacred concert given at the Methodist church last night was one of the most successful of its-kind ever given in tne city, and the church was well filled in spite of the inclement wea tber.

The boxes are here and it will only take a short time to complete the work. Special comment is due to little Addie Favart, whose song and dance "Di, di, di," called forth a storm of applause This young lady, who is only ten years of age, is said to be one of the prettiest dancers in Melbourne, and there Is no doubt that the assertion is very near the truth. Her reputation will be under stood in a measure when it is mentioned that she has thirty pnpils under her in structions. The Ace, Augast 31, 1895. With the-Spanish Students here Thurs day night.

Bronaugh of Portland has demonstrated to his own satisfaction, at least, that the end of tie Turkish em pire will come in 1S97-981 He claims to find proof for this in the Bible, but we much doubt his interpretations. A young-man in Portland has invented a machine for starting a fire in the morn ing without getting out of bed. Thus is another etab made at the divine institu tion of marriage and another stumbling block placed in the path of the marriage able girl. In this condition until Sunday of THE WEATHER IN GREAT VARIETY A Snow Storm Succeeds Rainfall. the Heavy Thirty-miles-an-hourgale? on the Ore gon coast; heavy rains over In Northern California; a blizzard in Montana; 30 degrees below zero up in the cold- weather-batching regions in the northern British territory, and a driving enow storm over Oregon, Washington and Idaho is the weather situation snmmar ized today at noon. There is lots of weather np here in the Northwest. By tomorrow morning it will be rain ing again, as the temperature is "loosen ing" up. Yesterday and last night the temperature was stationary, being about the freezing point west of the Cascades, and from 16 to 24 degerees above zero east of there. It is 4 degrees below zero at Helena, and up in the northern region it is cold enough to suit the oldest inhabitant Considering the time of the year it is noteworthy. The snow storm today comes from up in the' British posses sions. It doesn't come direct! It has a curve in its delivery which baffles de scription, besides which a baseball pitcher's wouid be easy. The wise man should have known from the way the wind howled last night in the cold, clear atmosphere that this installment of the storm was coming. - It is 16 above at Spokane. 18 at Walla Walla, 28 at Seattle and 2 degrees war mer at Portland. It is somen hat chilly for unprotected whiekers at Havre, Mont. It is 38 de grees below zero, and a sensible person will take the weather prophet's word for it without going there to investigate. If you would like more figures, it is 30 below at Edmonton, 22 at Qu' Appelle, 14 at Calgary and 12 below at Bismarck, N. D. It is snowjng in Montana and parts of Idaho, and it is thought the beautiful is falling in Washington. Forecaster Pague says the high baro metic pressure, which is central to the north of Montana, is rapidly moving eastward, and a storm area is appearing off the coa9t. A secondary low pressure is over Nevada and Utah, which hat produced general rain over California, Nevada, Utan and Southern Idaho. The area of low pressure off the Washington coast will most likely develop during to day, and control the weather over the Pacific Northwest for the next 48 hours. At 5 o'clock this morning the weather bureau issued the following as to the future conduct of the river: "The Willamette river ac Portland was 20.2 feet above zero yesterday morn ing, at which height it remained station ary until about 5 p. m., when it began to fall ; by 8 :30 p. m., a fall of 0.6 of foot had occurred. The fall will be more rapid Saturday and Sunday, amounting to from 7 to 10 feet by Monday morning. Saturday morning. the height of the river at Portland will be about 18 feet Sunday morning about 14 feet and Mon day morning 9 to 11 feet above the zero of the gauge." At Albany the river has fallen 7.1 feet during the past 24 hours. l rain service on all the railways en tering Portland has been resumed on al most schedule time. It is expected that the passengers who will leave Portland and Tacoma today on the Northern Pacific for the East will go through without transfer. Between here and the Sound, traffic has been re sumed and trains are on time. Passen ger Agent Carlton has received advices showing that all the delayed passengers at Clark's Fork in the mountain district in Washington were being transferred with but little delay and the break is being rapidly repaired. Information from Vancouver, B. C yesterday was to the effect that no trains bad come over the Canadian Pacific since last Tbnrsdav. The Dhssenzers who were started out on Friday's train were held at Agassiz until Sunday, when they were brought back to Vancouver, and are being kept there nntil the line is open. The report on Tuesday night was that they expected to get a train through by yesterday afternoon On the Southern Pacific the water has not yet receded sufficiently, in the Clackamas valley bottoms to ailow the passage of the Roseburg local. Passen gers are being transferred and possibly the water will abate sufficiently by to morrow to allow the trains to pass. The through train is making good time by the West Side, The O. R. & N. and the Union Pacific have escaped damages and the trains are on time. v '" Or Interest to Sheepmen. . Among the dispatches this morning is the one printed below, which we put on onr local page as being of peculiar in terest to our sheepmen : The agricnltural department of the university of California is raising a new kind of sheep. The superintendent of the experiment station at Paso Robles has succeeded in breeding a variety of sheep that will mean much to the woo) and meat markets. It is the result of the cross-breeding of the Persian and the merino. Experiments along the same line, though not so complete, were conducted by George Washington with marked advantage. Two years ago three full-blooded rams were received from the Persian govern ment and the experiments 'were com menced in cross-breeding. The off spring resulted in a variety admirably adapted to the California climate, show ing wuui mil meat aoove me quality 01 j o Continued t 3 t ' r Before purchasing your Thanksgiving Turkey, 'tis well to look f? unto your stock of TABLE DAMASK and NAPKINS.

Xhey were colored white, reddish, brown and black, the black being held especially valuable for commercial purposes. I The wool was of a texture between tne Persian and the merino, the average length being eight eight inches. Recently the first sample of the wool was offered for sale in San Francisco, and brought an advance of 4 cents on the usual price per pound. The new species attains a tremendous size, and are very broad backed. THIS SHIP FLIES. An Aerial Craft Invented by a Cali fornia Man. The dispatches from San Francisco Sunday contain among other things the following description of the flying of a new high -flyer, invented by a Califor iiian. It seems plausible enough, but it seems to us, as we have read something of that kind somewhere before, that turned out to be not the whole and un adulterated truth. On this account we ill not vouch for the story below: "The mystery of the airship which has been puzzling some worthy citizens of Sacramento for several days past has made a change of base, and now there are plenty of reputable people in and about San Francisco ready to make oath that they have seen 'he strange thing in the heavens. More than that, there is a an Francisco attorney, George D. Col lins, who asserts that the airship exists; that the inventor is bis client; that the strange craft sailed without mishap troin Oroville to San Francisco; that it did pass over Sacramento, and that within a few days this invention, which is the solution of one of the world's old est and toughest problems, will be navi gated in daylight, so that all San Fran cisco may see it, and that it will circle and rise and sink over the central part of the city. Collins said tonight : " 'It is perfectlv trne that there is at last a successful airship in existence, snd that California will have the honor of bringing it before the world. The in venter is a wealthy man, who has been studying the subject of flying-machines for fifteen years, and who came here seven years ago from the state of Maine in order to be able to perfect bis ideas away from the eyes of other inventors, During the last five years be has spent at least $100,000 on bis work. He has not yet secured bis patent, but is appli cation is now in Washington. I cannot say much about the machine he has per fected, as be is my client. - "I. saw the machine one night last week at the inventor's invitation. It is made of metal, is about 150 feet long, and is built to carry fifteen persons. It is built on the aeroplane system, and has two canvas wings eighteen feet wide, and a rudder, shaped like a bird's tail. The inventor climbed into the machine, and after he bad been moving some of the mechanism for a moment, I saw the thing begin to ascend from : the earth very gently. The wing flapped slowly as it rose, and then a little faster as it began to move against the wind. The machine was nnder perfect control all the time. " 'My client's airship started from Oroville, in Butte county,'. and flew 65 miles in a straight line, directly over Sacramento. After running up and down once or twice over the capitol, my friend came right on, a distance of an other 70 miles, and landed at a shop on this side of the bay, where the machine now lies, guarded by three men. The inventor found daring this trial trip I o this : : : REDUCED PRICES. for...., $ .52 for 59 for..;......... .67 for 77 Our regular Our regular Our regular Our regular PEASE & MAYS that his . ship bad a wave-like motion that made him seasick. It is this de fect fbat be is now remedying. " 'In another six days it is his inten tion to give the people a chance to see his machine. He will fly right over the city and cross Market street a dozes times. The inventor has forsaken the ideas of Maxim and Langley entirely in building the machine, and has con structed it on an absolutely new theory, Ask and Te Shall Receive. Recently we made a touching appeal to the city fathers for light. We did not ask for much, but just a little, and we are proud to see the evidences that we are going to get almost all we asked for, The holes are being planted in various and sundry places, and the old-fashioned lamp-posts will soon be bearing aloft the good old glass frames and the coal-oil lamps therein. It is not much, it is true, but even the "light of other -days" is preferable to the absence of light of the winter nights. We can get along with these through the winter, with the aid of the swaggering old moon that gets full occasionally ; but it does not speak well for us. It seems to be the best that can be done, and surely none of ns can profitably kick when we have the beet there is. The great bard of Avon paid graceful tribute to one small candle that sent its beams twinkling tbrongh rents in the sable curtains of Night to illuminate a crateful world Why then should we complain when we have the more odoriferous coal oil? It has been demonstrated to the satis faction of the demonstrator, at least, that coal is nothing but the beat of the sun stored up through countless millions of years for the use of man, and coal oil surely is the light of our great orb stored away at the same time. Let us then be thankful for what we have, realizing, as we do, that some places not half our size are really in greater darkness than we are. - I. O. R. M. The entertainment and ball nnder the auspices of Wasco Tribe No 16, 1. O. R M., at tne Vogt opera bouse on Thanks giving night, will be a grand affair in every detail. Prof. .Birgfeld's fnll or chestra will discourse the music, all the old members of the orchestra having united for this occasion. The fame of this orchestra is second to none in this state,' and nnder the skillful direction of that prince of musicians, Prof. Birg feld, is enough in itself to bring out a large audience. After Prof. Read, the man of mystery, has entertained the audience for an bour and a half, expos ing all the tricks of the famous mediums, etc., the grand ball will commence. Tickets can be had at all the business houses in the city, and "irona members of the order. Doors open at 7:30, cur tain rises at 8, aliarp.

Lane were made the victims of a most happy surprise last evening by a goodly number of their friends, taking tbem quite unawares, at their home in the eastern portion of the city. Their uninvited guests took full possession of the bouse at about 8 o'clock, and from that time on until late hour the fun and merriment reigned supreme. A bountiful luncheon was served, which was one of the most enjoyable parts of the evening's entertainment.

Wilson well known as an attor ney at The Dalles, was a passenger Sun day morning, going East through Pen dleton to St. Louis. . Regarding the opening of the Cascade Locks, Mr. Wil son Said : "Although no particular change bas taken place in freighting circles on ac count of the opening of the locks. I think it is safe to say that The Dalles will reap a very substantial harvest from the long years of sowing of hopes that sometime the river would be open all the way from that city to the sea. This is now an accomplished fact and steamboats run through from our town to Portland, whence, if desired, they could goon to Astoria. We have always bad such disadvantages as resulted from being a commodity freight tariff, that is, we were quoted as rail rates which were the rates from the East to Portland, pins tht. local rate back from there to The Dalles. A passenger could buy a ticket from the East to Portland cheaper than to The Dalles. I understand we are now to have terminal rates for passenger and freight, and next season, when wool and wheat move out, the freight rate will be materially lowered. These changes can not fail to bring substantial benefits, and The Dalles will not be long in re alizing that the opening of the locks was a red letter day for that city." East Oregonian.
