Misi Minnie Elton, who teaches in the
Hojd River schio't, is an applicant (or
state certificate it the examination which
is now teing held.
Dr. J. A. Geieendorffer, who was
ctlled ti Lyle on a professional trip this
moroiag, returned about noou and tells
us it is knowing hard there, with about
six inches on the hills around the Im
mediate town.
The WaBco Southern Telephone Com
pany was incorporated Monday by J. X.
Burgess, F. N. Wallace and II. C.
Hooper. The company proposes to build
telephone lines in Eastern Oregon
counties, "specially Wasco. The capital
stock is $500, and the office .of the com
pany will be in Antelope.
The Dalles bids fair to alio its ap
preciation of Mr, Clark's efforts to Be
euro good attractions by giving the
"Little Minister" company a crowded
house tomorrow night. A large num
ber of seats have already been sold and
many have no doubt left their seats un
til the last day, so that the hall will un
doubtedly bi crowded.
In ordei tu take renewed precautions
against an epidemic of smallpox, we
understand the directors of our school
have ordered that ail children within
the locality of the Mullifcin house and
those who had associated with the child
ren of that family he kept at home from
school. This seems hard to those con
cerned, but is no doubt for the beet.
As was expected, winter peeped in
this morning and, finding Nature flirting
with spring, gave her the cold rhoulder,
at the same time getting into a fury and
making all believe he bad come to slay,
In many respects we do not care if be
does, for it is not tnought the fruit buds
have advanced enough to be injured
unless an unusually cold spell should
come on, and we need a little winter, if
nit too cold.
A short, but lively runaway took
place on the hill this morning, when the
horse attached to Joe Worsley delivery
wagon got frightened while standing in
the alley back of Geo. Miller's place,
and tore out onto Union street. When
he reached Phillips' corner it was too
slick for him and be fell, tipping the
wagon over, driver and all. John Miller
was driving, but fortunately was not in
jured. The wagon shaft was broken
and a few bolts gave way, otherwise
the runaway was not serious.
Mr. Edward Baldwin, who up to the
time of the Christmas vacation occupied
the position of private secretary to
1'resident Strong, when he was called
home by the sudden death of his father,
is now a student of Whitman College at
Walla Walla. The humidity of our
Willamette valley climate not being con
ductive to good hetlth for Mr. Baldwin
Ciiised him to seek the higher altitudes
of Eastern Washington. This we re
gret, as Mr. Baldwin was a bright young
man of the present freshman class.
Oregon Weekly. .
Cupid must have had a cold trip de
livering his valentine messages today ;
but he got there just the same, and the
postmaster was kept busy handling the
tender little missives. Then, too, there
was a large number which from their
appearance were anything but tender.
On the contrary, no doubt many a heart
ache has been caused today by the con'
temptibld articles known aa "comic
valentines.". While some are sent mere
ly as a j ike, others are made the means
of administering cuts and insinuations
which are calculated to sting deep and
accomplish the purpose for which they
were sent. It would be better for the
world had the contemptible things never
been heard of.
The Trade Journal lias this to say of
the Columbia salmon situation: "We
are in receipt of letters from the Colom
bia river which state that the opening
Price on that river will probably not be
lees than on a 1)1.45 for talis basis and
may he as high as $1.60. Tbey look for
active buying competition for flsb, which
will cause higher prices than before
known during an opening season. From
II we can learn no packer on that river
will name prices until satisfied as to the
price for fresh salmon. The price fir
the latter is as yet an open question, for
o far as can he learned the fishermen
have mt named prices and probably
will not uulil towards the opening of
the season."
Wishing to express their appreciation
of him and their regret at his permanent
departure, the brother Elks gave a social
session in honor of Harry Ionsdale last
night at their hall. While a show of
levity prevailed, it was plain to be seen
it wa but mack, for bark jf it all was
lie feeling that they were parting with
one of their best and most popular
members. A splendid banquet was
given and the lodge as a body accompa
nied him to the train. Some months
ago daring bia absence in the East, as
an appreciation of bis faithfat work Id
the office of Esquire, he was honored
with a life membership card, which is a
favor seldom accorded, and so far at is
known there are but about a half dozen
in the United States.
Thuraday's Daily.
The case of John Carey and Fiaok
Quintan, who plead not guilty to a charge
of robbery, will be tried in court to
morrow. The doctor informs ns that J. C. Meins,
who has been ill for the past week with
heart trouble, is somewhat improved
today.
At the Catholic entertainment Tues
day nUht at the Vogt a catchy program
will be given, and the evening close
with dancing, Birgfeld's orchestra fur
nishing the music.
In the circuit court today a decree of
divorce was granted to each of the
following: Julia Reavis from Wm.
Keavis. Ada Si in cox from M. S. Sim
cox. The Chicago, Burlington & Qaincy
passenger cars are to be painted a dark
color instead of canary yellow. All
through passenger trains are to be vesti
buled, and baggage and express cars are
to have their steps taken off.
The new building recently put up by
Mrs. Marie Periano, the East End
milliner, is quite an addition to that
portion of town. It has been neatly
arranged inside and affords ample room
for a laige stock of goods, whilo house
keeping rooms are on the upper floor.
Vancouver has a worse scourge in her
midst than smallpox, for at present
there are three cases of diphtheria there,
which is much more to be dreaded than
smallpox, Filipino itch or most any con
tageous disease which might come our
way.
The Iladley Medical Spiings Co. have
leased 311 acres of land from the O. R.
& N. Co., ou the Columbia liver, in
Washington, including the Coli ns land
ing and the well-known Hot Medical
Springs at that place. We understand
the company expect to put in some good
baths and make this a summer resort.
It will be very bandy, as it is right on
the river, and there will be no expense
for people after they are landed in get
ting a good camping place. Leader.
We hope, for the sake of our renders,
that the first page of today's Ciikoniclk
will not be the last to be read ; or, if it is,
that it will be the last to leave your
memory, for on it you will find facts
concerning the prices of goods at A. M.
Williams' "after-inventory sale" which
should not be overlooked by any who
desire to be economical in buying.
In early spring there will be double
train service established over the O. R.
& N., Oregon Short Line and Union Pa
cific. To double this service will re
quire but the addition of a train each
way between Umatilla and Granger.
Now there is a double service daily east
of Granger on the Union Pacific; while
the Spokane-Portland train makes the
double service between Umatilla and
the Oregon metropolis.
Yesterday afternoon W. E. Walther
had a severe accident in having both of
his hands burned, though not very
seriously. For the past week lie has
been confined to bis home by illness,
and while lying on the couch smoking
yesterday afternoon the fringe of the
couch caught fire from a match which
he intended to throw into the cuspidor.
In carrying it out of the room his hands
were burned. The couch was almost
destroyed.
No one will want to miss hearing Rev.
Poling speak on the "Johnstown Flood"
for it is one of those subjects which
could not fail to be interesting; particu
larly so as Mr. Pol lug passed through
the terrible experience. In speaking of
it he said "For eleven days and nights I
did not have mv clothes off my hack."
Incidents told when he spoke before the
literary society were intensely 'Interest
ing, and in his lecture Saturday night at
the Congregational church he wilt go
more fully into details.
. It certainly feels today as if it were
the "winter of our discontent," hut we
have no desire -to steal the Times
Mountaineer's "thunder" and won't
say so, forthat paper has alien on that
expression given by Shakespeare himself.
Anyway the thermometer crept down
to 18 above, lsst night, and we hear the
boys are skating on the smaller ponds.
The report for tonight and tomorrow
says "fair and colder." While it is im
possible to tell as yet whether Injury
has been done the fruit, it is not thought
it has been cold enough yet,
The lesson which Is being taught Bert
Brooks, who is now serving out a sen
tence for disturbing religions meeting
at Boyd, would not be amiss in some
cases In The Dalles. For some time
four toughs had been sitting in the back
ol the church, spitting tobscco juice over
every available spice and committing
other depredations, and Monday an
oillcer went In search of thorn, the other
three disappeared ; but Brooks was
arrested, brought before Justice Covey
and fined $3 and costs, amounting to
$13.70. Being unable to pay, he is now
serving out his time in the county jail.
Herman Melzuer, of Portland, In dis
cussing the wool scouringquestion, ssyt,
"I am decidedly in favor of a scouring
mill here rather than to have it at The
Dalles." Well, dew tell ! That's strange;
bat Dalles citixens all seem ready to say
they'd rather have it here than in Port
land. Queer Isn't it?
Passers by all stopped at the City
Meat Market yesterday to gaze with
wonder at the mutton exhibited there,
and it was immense in more ways than
one. The two sheep, which bad been
purchased of James Kelly and were of
the Lincoln brand, weighed 100 pounds
apiece dressed, and are an example of
what can be made on mutton. Mr. Kelly
was paid $15 for them, and from twenty
four pounds of wool clipped at 30 cents
a pound, he made $4 80; two pelts (1;
twenty-four pounds of tallow at 5 cents
a pound, $1 20. Thus the total amount
made i.n the sheep was $22 00, or $11 a
piece.
Astoria bowlers are now talking of ar
ranging a tbiee cornered regatta contest,
in which Astoria, The Dalles and Salem
wiil take part. A suitable trophy will
be offered and three contests yearly are
to be bowled one in Astoria during
regatta, another at Salem and the other
at The Dalles. In this manner each
team will be able to meet the others on
its own alleys. Five winnings will en
title a club to permanent possession of
the trophy. The id 'a of a three-cornered
tournament of this kind was discussed
during the recent Big Four contest, all
the clubs heartily favoring the plan.
The plan to organize a steamship line
between Portland and Manila has fallen
through. The Telegram says the failure
of the project is due to several causes.
In the first place after negotiations were
well under way, the fact developed that
the agent with whom Mr. Lewis and the
Manila merchants were dealing was
working for his own gain and trying to
"boost himself along on wind." Even
then the Manila merchants were willing
to go ahead and establish a line, and
bad their pl.'ns almost completed, when
the United States closed the port, to
keep the natives in the surrounding
country from securing supplies.
Complaints are daily brought to us
concerning the annoyance caused by the
visits of the Latter Day Saints to the
homes throughout the city. If not in
vited inside, they will engage the lady
of the house in conversation at the door,
and before they are through will say
something objectionable to her. While
in most cases they are not exactly in
sulting in their remarks, there is, how
ever, little margin between the forbid
den. Such a proceeding should not le
allowed to go unmolested, and while en
gaged in conversation another member
of the household should just telephone
to the marshal and have them taken to
the outskirts of the city and headed
toward Utah.
We have often wondered when pass
ing or entering the ourt house when
court is in session just how few wit
nesses and others would be required to
make the side walks so that a small
boat would have to be used in getting to
the steps and rubber boots worn in
which to wade into the building. And
then when the upper floor is readied
just how many more swine could make
the floor so that you couldn't wade in.
As it is, it it fairly nauseating to glance
at the floor fS one passes down the aisle.
The offense surely should be punishable
as defacement of the building. The
county Is at an expense to keep up the
appearance of the building and should
see that this filthy habit is stopped.
The will of Mrs. M. J. Beezley, who
died in Chicago in November, was ad
mitted to probate yesterday. The prob
able value of the estate is $4000, and
Grover Simpson, son-in-law of deceased
was named as executor. All money
which the deceased had in the Illinois
Trust and Saving bank of Chicago, is
bequeathed to her daughter, Mrs. Alma
Simpson and her son-in-law, Grover
Simpson, the medical, funeral and other
expenses to be paid out of the same.
The property is to be disposed of and
the value of the estate divided Into four
equal portions. One portion is willed
to Mrs. Mary E. Beezley-Smith, daugh
ter of deceased ; one portion to a son, J.
F. Beezley ; one portion to Mrs, Alma
Beezley-Sirapson, daughter, and out
of the remaining one-fourth II. II.
Smith, of Cross Keys, and Mary Smith
Seal, of Vancouver, grandson and
granddaughter, will receive $20 a piece.
The balance of th'e remaining one-fourth
is to be divided equally between other
grandchildren, Wilson B. Smith, Joseph
E. Smith, Raymond Smith and Elaie
May Smith-Oliphant.
Misses Nan Cooper and Grace Hobson
entertained the Taine class at the home
of the latter last night, and a splendid
time was enjoyed. Lessons were dls
pensed with and a short program
usurped their place. Mr. II. Northrop
and Miss Ruth Cooper gave two very
pretty solos and Mrs. Wilson read a
papur on "Language," which was said
to be one of her best efforts, and those
who have heard the lady know this
means a great deal. Mrs. Wilson evi
dently has little liking for affectation
and assuming in pronunciation, or
language la general what might be
termed "foreign airs." She believes In
the English, pure and simple, and ex
pressed that belief very emphatically.
Another feature of the entertainment
vas a game In which all were provided
with quotations which they Illustrated
by drawing and passed on for others to
decipher. This was most amusing. Re
freshments were served later and the
evening was a very happy one in every
respect.
It has been most difficult matter
throughout the late, wars for anyone
who has merely access to the newspaper
articles regarding the campaigns to have
an ! understanding of the situation of
the armies and their movements. We
tee but through glass darkly. This
difficulty has, however, been somewhat
obviated by the thoughtfulnesa of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society in
providing . an atlas of the two wars,
which thus gives all an opportunity to
follow the steps of each army and read
of their campaigns understanding.
We find one on our table with the
compliments of their local agent, Max
A. Vogt, and feel now as if our perusal
of the dispatches concerning the wars
would not be so thoroughly Greek to us.
Tuesday night Mrs. Burgess, who is
in from Bakeoven attending court, left
very handsome and expensive golf cape
in the parlor at the Umatilla House,
Later when she went to get it it was no
where to be found. A young woman
who was in the parlor m-t of the even
ing was suspicioned, and surmising she
had gone down on the boat Mrs. Birgess
telephoned to her daughter, Mrs. Dan
Malarkey, and told her to be on the
lookout for the cape as the passengers
alighted at Portland, as she had ordered
the cape for her mother and would have
no trouble in recognizing it. According
ly Mr. and Mrs. Malarky wero on hand,
and when a girl stepped off wearing the
article she was questioned. Breaking
down at once she acknowledged the
theft; and word was sent to Mrs. Bur
gess. The police in Portland communi
cated with the sheriff, but deeming that
this was probably her first offense, as
she is quite young, Mrs. Burgess decided
to let her go, and Sheriff Kelly instruct
ed the officers to give her a warm lecture
and free her. Her name is Georgia
Egan, and she has been in the employ
of Mrs. Agnew in this city. She claims
that her home is in Gilmore.
And so, as was feared by all, W. R.
Brown is free, the grand jury see
ing fit to bring in an indictment of
assault and battery, when the indigna.
tion of t'te district attorney led him to
dismiss the case, saying that such a
proceeding would be a disgrace to the
court and a travesty on justice, the
sentence for such being twenty days in
the county jail, while he considered it
should have been assault with intent to
kill and a penitentiary offense. The
jury took the case up yesterday after
noon, Mrs. Brown appearing, but failing
to witness against her husband. The
Chronicle; has already expressed its
opinion strongly in regard to the case
and does not care to reiterate the state
ments made. Without further remarks
we can now only hope that the intent of
the jury to liberate the man who at
tempted to take his wife's life, that he
might work to support his family in
stead of being placed in the penitentiary
and his wife and family be depend 'nt
on the county, may not be thwarted. If
he fail so to do and the county be called
upon tu sulfur therefrom (leaving the
wife entirely out of the question as she
has chosen her course) then should those
who are responsible be called upon to
take the case into their own hands and
not only carry it through, but support
the family as well.
Friday's Dally.
The grand jury found a true bill in
the case of the State of Oregon vs. Alva
Simmons, charged with larceny in
Thos. Burgess' store at Bake Oven, com
mitted ou the 11th of November, '90.
Hugh Brown and Robt. Wilson, the
Portland thugs, and the men arrested by
Dell Howell near Antelope, were this
morning sentenced to serve eight years
each in the penitentiary, they having
plead guilty to the crime of horse steal
ing. Wednesday night the transformer cm
an electric pole at Salem burned out,
caueing quite little excitement on the
street. It set fire to the pole and cross
trees, but linemen promptly climbed the
pole and extinguished the fire, the
damage being nominal.
Rev. W. Brenner will hold services at
the Lutheran church next Sunday morn
ing at 11 o'clock, and also in the even
ing at 7:30. German services will be
held at 2 :30 p. m. on Feb. 25th. Parents
wishing their children confirmed will
please hand in their names so they may
be given Instructions.
The lodge of Elks at La Grande will
give a swell ball and banquet ou the
evening of the anniversary of Washing
ton's birthday. Tickets have been
placed on sale and can be had for five
dollars per couple. All Elks are in
vited to be present and traveling cards
presented at tho door will be the only
invitation necessary.
Mr. T. Brownhill who has arranged to
give a series of lectures in the future,
111 n j t be able to keep his appointment
at Bennetts school house in Hood River
valley on Feb. 22d at 1 p. m. Those
living in that vicinity, however, will
hnvean opportunity of hearing him at
the Congregational church In Hood
River on the same everting.
Much Interest lias been taken in the
Student Literary club, and well there
might be, for the subj -cts discussed or
lectures given are always instructive
and worthy of greater praise thr-n has:
been given. It has been arranged for
tonight to debate the question, "Re
solved, That the opportunities for tuc-
cess of young men was greater io the
past than at present." All are invited
to be present whether members of the
club or not.
The court is busy this afternoon se
lecting a jury In the case of the State vs.
J. Herbert Preston. At the hour of go
ing to press oulr eight jurymen had
been secured and the regular venire had
been exhausted. District Attorney
Jayne appears for the state, while Fred
W. Wilson and Ned H. Gate are look
ing after the interests of the defendant.
The steamer Al Ki which just arrived
at Seattle from Skagway, brought down
a cargo consisting of $ 40,000 in bullion,
the last month's clean-up of the Tread
well Company, and seventy-five boxes
of Wrangle Narrows halibut. The Tread
well monthly shipment was only about
half the December clean-up ot the com
pany, but this is accounted for by the
fact that nearly one half of the stamps
were idle during January by reason of
of the water power which operates the
plant being frozen np.
Inquiry at the offices of the transpor
tation companies in Portland failed to
elicit any further information concern
ing the rumor that tte White Collar
Line bad disposed of the Telephone and
the Bailey Gatzert, or either of them, to
parties on the Sound. The report is
current in Portland, however, that
negotiations witii relation to a possi
ble transfer of one or both of the boats
have been under way but that there is
no definite understanding that a con
summation ' has been arrived at.
Astoriau.
Eugene is contemplating the organi
zation of a commercial club and from
all indications will have such an In
stitution at no late date. In part the
Eugene Guard says: "The question of
organizing a commercial club in Eugene
often comes up for discussion, particu
larly after a trip to Salem, Portland,
Astoria, The Duller, or some other city,
where the business or professional man
of this city is entertained by his ac
quaintances in well appointed clubs
having every convenience and comfort.
When it comeB to a question of energy
in personally conducting individual bus
iness matters, the Engine man stands
in the front rank, but in proWding a
comfortable club for recreation after
business hours, and a placo to entertain
friends and business acquaintances, in
a social manner, he has been neglectful."
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
a telephone message was sent to the
engine houso saying that the residence
of W. II. Butts situated on the corner of
Eleventh and Liberty streets was on fire.
One alarm was sounded from box 27
and the department answered in shoit
order and in a few minutes was on the
way, but by some error it was under
stood that it was Mr. Butler's property
on Fourth street that was on fire. Find
ing no flames here the department re
turned and then learned where they were
needed. Tho Columbia's with their hose
cart, started a second time for the scene of
the confljgation, but when they arrived
near Phillips store the re-call alarm was
sounded aud they retraced their steps.
The fire started from a defective flue
and burned a hole In the ceiling and a
corner of the adjoining; room. The
house is cloth and papered and it seems
a wonder tho entire building was not
destroyed. However the neighbors turned
out and formed a bucket brigade and
succeeded in checking the flames before
much damage had been done although
the entire household furniture and be
longings had been removed from the
building. The loss as yet has not been
estimated but is fully covered by
insurance.

After reading the Telegram and Ore
gonUn U.t night Dalles people surely
; realize that if 'tis to bedone.then 'twere
better 'twere done quickly. We refer to
J the scouring mill proposition now before
lour people, yesterday's issue of these
j two Portland dallies reminding as that
wo are not the only pebbles on the coast.
but that the people of that city have
awakened to the fact that thera is such
a place as The Dalle in Oregon, and
that her citizens are not all asleep, but
are now about to do what should have
been done many years ago pat in an
industry here wh'ch will make our city
what it was intended by Nature to be.
Learning this lact, Portland is about
to step in and secure our scouring mill
f jr herself and will make a proposition
to Mr. Russell. One of her business)
meu said yesterday that if the people
here did not at once take advantage of
the opportunity I'ortlaud should im
mediately take steps to have Mr. Russell
give them the benefit of the proposition.
We believe, however, that that gentle
man sees the advantage which The Dalle
holds over Portland as a location for
such an industry, as anyone who has
ever looked into the matter can plainly
understand. Tho Dalles is truly the
logical wool-trading center of the east
ern half of the state, and as such should
have not only a scouring mill, but the
woolen mill, which win Id undoubtedly
follow.
As will bn seen, it behooves as to put
our "best foot forward" In the matter,
which we believe is the intention of the
committee who today have been meeting
the business men to determine what is
their intention in the matter and how
much can be raised toward the $25,000
bonds which tiie city is expected to as
sume. At the meeting last night Mr.
Russell more fully explained his propo
sition, the gist of which is as explained
in the Chronicle Friday. He will remain
in tho city a few days until it is deter
mined what action is to be taken. If, after
canvassing the city thoroughly, our
people should not tee fit to accept Mr.
Russell's proposition, then should they
immediately look about tor other chan
nels in which to work along the same
line. We must have such an industry
and have it at once, so that we will be
in readiness for this year's clip.
Are we going to allow Portland to step
in and rob us of what is ours by first
right? This question must be decided
immediately, and every citizen should
realize its importance.

At the meeting of the Board of Fire
Delegates last night the affairs of the
year were settled up and showed in a
mat Led degree the splendid work of the
members, which has certainly been ex
ceptional. Never in its history have
the affairs of the department been in
such flourishing cond;tion, and the peo
ple of the city have reason to tie grateful
to the board. The following board was
