Cissy Sideways in the, Dufur Dispatch
replieB to the indignant 13 pretty dam
sels of Dufur. Cissy is all right, and if
the Dafur girls could only have seen how
charmingly sweet, how innocently "cute"
she appeared they would have had no
kick coming. We recollect that one of
tbe boys "lost bia head" at first sight of
her, and sent it up to the stage to her.
The Columbia felt tbe effect of tbe up
country warm weather last night.' and
this morning is a couple of feet higher
than yesterdav. One of the effects of
the rise was to form a bar around the
little steamer Pilgrim, and this morning
she was like a fish in a puddle could
move around bub could not get 'out. She
worked away in tbe attempt until the
Dalles City pulled out, and gave ber
line and a pull that landed her in deep
water.

the weather .today , would- be hard to

The alarm of fire Saturday night
about 9 :30 was caused by a burning flue
at the residence of Mr. W. C. Allaway,
on Third Street. Nearly all of the 114
lodges and societies of the city were in
session at the time; and the closingiodes
and other ceremonies were dispensed
with in all of them, some yery ludicrous
things being reported. The fire did no
damage except to-tbe muscles of the
members of Jackson Engine Company,
who pulled the steamer up through the
mnd and then back again.

The large barn of B. P. Barnard,
40x90 feet in size, recently built at
Fox, Grant county, collapsed last week.
The accident was caused, it is under
stood, by the large amonnt of snow that
bad collected on the roof of the build
ing. Fortunately no animals were in
the building at tbe time. The barn
contained - Sbout forty or fifty tons of
hay, which now will suffer great dam

building is almost a total wreck and is
a great loss to Mr.. Barnard. '

Deputy Clerk Bolton received a letter
from School Superintendent Gilbert a
few days ago, written from Kansas Citj,
in which , he says the Missourians back
there all cut their hair straight around
tbe bottom, crock fashion, and thinks
from those he met there that Ed Kelsay
and Judge Bradshaw . must have im
proved greatly after reaching the Pa

The. Huntington Herald says that its
office stands upon a bar that is rich in
placer gold ; that way back yonder in
the past two prospectors sank a pros
pect hole in. front of the office and struck
gold in paying quantities. The difficulty
of getting water upon the ground con
fronted them, and finally a quarrel arose
as to how best it could be accomplished.

Oaksdale.Washingten, is in the throes
of a mortal dispute all on account of its
dogs.' The council passed an ordinance
miking if- a misdemeanor, punishable
by imprisonment in tbe city jail to refuse-
to take out a license for a dog, pro
vided the person refusing owned one.
The city would not accept tbe dog in
lieu of the license money and end its
days In the pound; but just compelled
anyone that-owned a dog to put up. The
mayor refused to sign tbe ordinance and
resigned.
A Delightful Evening Trip.
'A few days ago somexf the young men
of our town were mystified by receiving
invitations to make an extensive trip in
the United States, the . starting place
being The Dalles, and the lime to leave
7 :45 p. hi. March 26, 1897. ' Some of the
"unsophisticated youths' thought it only
a joke; others, who could never forget
tbe apparently favored "rival, thought it
might be an answer to their challenge,
so worded as toy avoid incriminating
the" writer; .others, of possibly more
gumption, seemed to understand it as
intended." - 1 " " ' .
As tbe invitations had been issued by
Misses Edythe Randall and Lola Eu
bank, tbe young men, as the time of de
parture drefc near, naturally sought the
home of these young ladies for an ex
planation. There they found the house
arranged to represent a railroad train
with notices and restrictions on the
walls, etc. : Mr. Randall acted as ticket
agent, handling a leather punch with a
dexterity which showed years of 'service.
The notices informed.them if th'ey had the
grip, the baggage master would check it ;
also they could -"tip the Aeale9," and
others equally as belptul to people trav
eling. . ,
For an hour or more the young ladies
were conspicuous because of their ab
sence; but just when the young men
were beginning to wonder if men only
were allowed on the train, and some
were looking toward the door, uncon
scious mayhap, but nevertheless long
ingly, wondering where the fair one,
'out of sight, but not . out of mind,"
could be, the door opened and a bery
of the gentler sex got aboard. The no-
roar was so great, and so little attention
paid to , the rules of the road, that the
conductor had to distribute special
tickets mentioning the peculiarities of
some of the different stations and offer
ing a prize to tbe one who guessed the
most names and a booby prize to the
one who guessed the least. There were
eight tied for tbe booby, but in drawing
lots Miss Ethel Deming was the fortu
nate (or unfortunate) one. Mr. Chipp
won the prize lor guessing the most.
The dining car, presided over by Mrs,
Randall, gave an opportunity for all to
enjoy one of tbe-best lunches imaginable,
After a very pleasant trip, the passen
gers alighted from tbe car, and as there
were no reports to the contrary, we feel
sure the following arrived home safely
Misees Edythe Randall, Lola Eubank"
Louise Ruch, Mabel Riddell, Elva
Creigbton,- Ethel Deming, Nelle Sylves

and Messrs. Edwin Hill, W. S. Chipp,

Wood, Melvin Murchie and H. D. Par
kins. ' " Y
Found Good Homes.
Mr. W. Gardner, superintendent of
the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Port'
land,' arrived here" yesterday, bringing
with him four children, for whom he
had found homes. They are Patsy
Moody, who goes to E. J. Kelley. Mr.
Kelley has had a boy named Frank
Palm, bat the boy's father has sent for
him and Patsy takes his place. " James
Robertson, aged about 16, returns to
James Kelley, with whom he has lived
for nearly two years. Sometime ago he
was sent by Mr. Kelley to Portland to
be treated for a diseased knee, from
which he has entirely recovered, and
Mr. Gardner says the boy is delighted
at the prospect' of again getting back
into his old ' home. - Amelia Beruth,
aged about 16, will find a home with J
L. Kellej. Last night the fourth of the
lot, Peter Van Stratton," was sent to
Castle Rock, where, he .will be met bv
Mr. J. C. Falkner of Ella, who will pro.
vide him with home.
Having provided homes for these, Mr.
Gardner will also lay in a stock for future
care by the society, he taking tbe Wol
forth children from here. They are
three in number, aged respectively 7
and. 5 years, the third being a baby of
5 months. .
peath of Mrs. 8. Wilkinson.
Died, in this city, this morning, March
27th, Mrs. Ellen Winkinson, wife ssf
Samuel Wilkinson, aged 51 years.
Mrs. Wilkinson was born in Lanca
shire, Eng., coming to this country in
the year 1866, and has been a resident
of The Dalles for the past three years,
during which time she has made many
warm friends in our city, who now
mourn for her and. deeply sympathize
with her husband, who has lost one who
for the past thirty-two years has been
his constant and belovedv companion.
About six months ago Mrs. Wilkinson
was compelled to undergo a very serious
surgical operation, from which she never
recovered, the physicians informing her
husband at the time that she could live
but' a few months at most; but al
though expecting this sad parting, the
loss is doubly felt as Mr. Wilkinson is
childless and has no relatives here" to
whom .to look for comfort.
The funeral will be conducted by Rev:
J. H. Wood tomorrow (Sunday) at 2:30
p. m. from the family residence on
Washington street. .-'..
And the Captain Said? T -
The steamer Nachoochee, which ar
rived in Boston Thursday night from
Savannah, reports that when passing
Cape Hatteras she was bailed by two
men in an open boat.' The captain, sup
posing they were shipwrecked, stopped
his steamer. The men rowed alongside
and calmlv asked who won the fight at
Carson, saying tbey had been out a week
nahing and had not heard from the bat
tlelield.

7 years, were turned over to Superin
tendent Gardner, who took them to
r-ortiana yesterday morning. .
As soon as be took possession of them,
he took steps' to put them in condition
for their new relations, the first step be
ing to give them a bath. This was done
at the Elite barber shop and Droved to
be a circus. The little fellows thought
they were to be drowned, and protested
at tbe top of their lungs. After half an
hour's soaking, some of tbe' outside
quires came off and they looked as fresh
and rosy as nature intended them. Then
they were put In ' the chairs fdr a hair
cut, and again their imaginations were
worked on to the.resisiing pitch. They
thought they were to be decapitated
sore, every lime they heard the scissors
snip, and it was a job in which the bar
bers earned their money. It was a clip
and 8 wriggle, a snip and a scream.
The little heads would be twisted into
position, only . to turn facing their tor
mentors the moment tbey were. released,
The circus attracted quite a crowd, but
patience and perseverance finally ac
complished .the work, aud their first
spring shearing was over. Then Super-
intendentardner proceeded to rig each
of them out in a new suit of clothes that
made them so proud "Little Lord Font-
leroy." would have been refused recogni
tion. Alter tnis tney were taxen to a
restaurant, and the way they proceeded
to assist nature in .taking the wrinkles
out of their new jackets was a sight. A
half-dozen more like them would have
started a local famine. By this time
tbey bad become somewhat reconciled
to their capture, and when they were
put to bed the younger stubbornly re
fused to allow his clothes to be taken off.
He could not but believe' that if they
were once off he would never get them
back again. A compromise was finally
effected, the boy giving up bis coat,
which he insisted on having placed on
bis bed where he could hold on to it, he
going to bed with his pants on, which
even after h'e was asleep he tried to hold
fast to (rhen tbey were taken off.

From the Head of 'the Ditch.
Mrs. Frank Davenport, who is super
intending the boarding house, while
splitting kindling last Monday, cut off
the index finger of her left band. The
hatchet made a clean cut just at the
root of tbe nail, and the portion cutoff,
could not be found.
In rolling logs down the bill towards
the mill, one day last week, a big log
got the best of the men and rolling too
far, struck the pig pen and demolished
it. Two pigs were' killed, while four
others escaped to the woods and it was
two or three days before they could be
returned to the pen.
Mrs. Shuck, who has given good satis
faction as mistress of tbe boarding
house for the past three months, left for
her home at White Salmon Monday. ' A
good cook is wanted to take her place.
The roads are so bad between here
and town that one team is steadily em
ployed in hauling supplies to keep the
work going.
M. M. Davenport is working a large
force of men on the lower end of the
ditch and is hiring all the teams that
can be had. The work is progressing
finely and several hundred feet of ditch
have been completed. He has several
men and teams from Portland on the
work. It looks like people of Hood
River valley ought to be able to do this
work, instead of going outside for men
and teams, bat Mr. Davenport has not
been able to procure from here all the
help needed. He would prefer to give
employment to oar own people.
i Frank Davenport has the contract to
build tbe ditch and flume from Arnold's
place to Joe Purser's and expects to
have tbe work completed by tbe 1st of
May. He has sub-let the building of
2,400 feet of tho flume to George
Stranahan and Dock Gibbons, begin
ning, at Joe Purser's place and going
south. Several thousand feet of lumber
are already oh tbe ground for the work.
Nails and other supplies Were taken
out Monday. They started Tuesday' and
will push the work to completion. Any
parties wishing to build any portion of
the ditch or flume should call on Frank
Davenport, as he hits plenty of work
left to give out, but don't put it off too
late, as he ' is contracting every day.

. - For an Assay Office.
Some two years since a bill was intro
duced in the United States senate by the
late Senator Dolph, providing for the
establishment of a government aBsay
office in Baker City, but later it seemed
that the' bill had been pigeon-holed :' at
leaBt for eome time past nothing has
been beard of it.
Tbe Washington correspondent of tbe
Oregonian, under date of March 25th,
refers to the matter in which Baker City
is greatly interested, as follows: '
There are reasons why the bill intro
duced by Mr. Ellis for aa assay office at
Baker LSity should pass. The develop
ment of mining interests it that country
makes it necessary. The treasury de
partment-is willing to establish the office
if authority is granted.
Thus it will be seen that Congressman
Ellis does not propose to let the inter
ests of Baker City be overlooked and the
bill for an assay office has been resur
rected and given life. In this endeavor
Mr. Ellis is certainly entitled to tbe
thanks of this community and if be suc
ceeds in securing for Baker City her just
rights in this matter, and if an assay
office is established here one of tbe big
gest gold nuggets in Baker county will
be bis. Baker Citv Democrat.
