HIS TROUSERS SLEPT WITH ANOTHER MAN ' "Gimme my papta or 111 call the po lice," shouted R. F. Bryan of Brad 1 etreet'a, hammering "on the door of the tailor's bedroom the other night For answer came only a creak of the 'springs. " vr ' r , "I say, open this door and gimme my pants. ; Do you understand? t-r-o-u-s-e-r-s, pants," repeated the exasperated man. But this time silence was his only answer. For half an hour Bryan pounded and . shouted on the door of the room of the man In whose care he had Intrusted his Sunday trousers to be pressed, but he could not raise him. In despair he turned away, bent on bringing an officer, for the night before he had given the man the garments to be ready the fol lowing morning, but when he came to the Bhopthe proprietor Informed him that the' man who had received the pants bad been drunk for a week, and had carried them ofl to his room. And it was only when the landlady let In the tailor with a pass key that Bryan's trousers were restored to him. BIG MINING DREDGE READY TO LAUNCH D. 3. Notter, the well-known ship builder, has returned from Gold Hill, where he has been working on the big mining dredge that is to be operated in Foots - creek by Champlln & Co. The dredge Is about completed and will be ready for operation by March 1. The dredge is 112 feet long and 36 feet wide. It will be equipped With two boilers, each Weighing 113 tons, and en gines and other necessary machinery. The elevator will be equipped with 40 buckets, each bucket and link weighing one ton and having a capacity f eight cubic feet With this elevator it will be pos sible to dig to a depth of 85 feet, although the estimated depth necessary to go Is only 60 feet. "The company commenced Its opera tions," says Mr. Notter, "by the building of a dam across the lnwor .nfl the natural basin. This dam is 20 by 800 feet, and is Intended to form a reservoir when -it is completed. "The ground has been thoroughly pros pected. Thirty more prospect holes have been sunk by a keyhole drilling machine across the old channel, which Is 1,000 feet wide. Heretofore only ground sluicing has been done, and no bedrock has been exposed." Journal friends and readers, when traveling on trains to and from Port land, should ask news agents for The Journal and Insist upon being supplied with this paper, reporting all failures in obtaining it to the office of publication, addressing The Journal, Portland.

Few are aware that the Cyclone Mining-com pany is the pioneer in the district east of Baker City in the practical use of electricity tor the operation and light in of Its works and mines. A few months ago Manager Joe Waddell made a contract with the Baker Gas St Elec trie company by which the mine was to be furnished with certain electric horse power for the handling of all of its ma chlnery. power drills, etc.. and for fur nishing lights in the different tunnels, shafts and stopes. A few days ago Manager Al Welch of the electrlo com cany completed the work of putting In the electric Juice to the property and a portion of the new machinery Having ar rived several weeks ago was put in operation. Yesterday the balance or the Cyclone machinery arrived in Baker City and will be liauledto the property at once and installed. Manager waa dell is to be congratulated upon the success of his plans, and those who have examined the machinery believe that It Is the latest and will fill the bill completely. The class of ore en countered demands heavy power and electricity will give It not only heavy but steady power. Mr. Waddell. who la In the city, will leave for the property today and per aonally superintend the erection of the additional machinery. Everything points to a lively season in the Virtue district Manager Buckbee of the Virtue mine and Manager Vinson of the Emma are carrying on work and expect to increase their forces in the near ruiure. i CllES FOR ; TRINITY CHURCH MEMBERS Of COWOEOATIOK OB JEOT TO THEM AND MAO IT AN! MOTTS : OrPEB IS WITBCDBAWW ANOTHEB orrEB UATf BS.MABB AND ACCEPTED IK THE- PtmnUB. Largely because of the objections raised by persons residing In the neigh borhood, some of whom are members, a set of chimes, will not be placed In the tower of the new Trinity Episcopal church now being constructed at Nine teenth and Couch streets. When the new edifice was proposed an unknown donor, supposed to be a lady member, offered to furnish a chime or bens. This became noised about in a short time and those who opposed the Chimes objected to them because of the noise Learning 'Of the lack of anpre elation the offer was withdrawn. . . Dr. A. A Morrison, 1 rector of the parish, stated this morning that these are the facts. But why the chimes in Trinity church should call forth more unfavorable comment than: the bells of otner nouses or worship has not been explained. r.-. "The offer of the chimes has been withdrawn," said Dr. Morrison. "Ac cordingly we will not have the chimes for the present at least but In time we shall probably have . another offer and it will likely be accepted." , The members of the church hope to open the new edifice free of debt It is Intended to erect a narish house to be used as a Sunday school and entertain ment nau at the rear of the church. The total cost of the new . structures and the furnishings will be about 3100.000. of which about 325,000 is yet to be raised. Subscriptions are still Jelng so licited and the rector hopes to open the church without a penny of debt hanging over it. Under the Episcopal laws no church la consecrated until its debt is lifted.

Co. spent something over $60,000 in advertising the resources of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. It is known that General Passenger Agent A. L. Craig has been authorized to spend about double that amount this year for the same purpose. The railroad com pany doubtless calculates that If by the investment of such a sum of money the population of the state of Oregon can be largely increased, or perhaps doubled, they will receive In return Interest on the capital Invested and have the satis faction of planting In these western states the right kind of people who will bring with them some money, brains and muscle and engage in the development of the mineral, agricultural and lum bering resources of this country. r When it is possible to make two blades of grass grow where there was one, then It is possible to increase pop ulation, manufactures and the arts. The efforts of the O. R. & N. Co. last year were particularly successful and Mr. Craig and his assistants calculate that In 1904 Just preceding the Lewis and Clark fair they will be able to interest large numbers of people in Oregon and get them planted here. To do this they must have the hearty co-operation of those who now live here and It is rea sonable to suppose that not one will hesitate to use his or her Influence to bring others to aid in taking up the lands which are about to be Irrigated by the government and enter upon diversi fied farming and Btockralsing. In ad dition to this there 1b always the op portunity of inducing capital and labor to Invest in our mines. In all these enterprises the O. R. tt N. Is a mov ing factor and is ably assisted by the Sumpter Valley, Columbia Southern and Other local railroads.

Baker City, Or.. Jan. 28. United States Weather Forecaster McGlnnls when Interviewed here yesterday in re gard to his annual report on the condi tion of the weather, for 1903 and Its comparison with other years, replied aa follows: '-'.'' Temperature For 190S, the mean tem perature was 45 degrees, the highest was 88Hlegrees,JuIyll. and the lowest 8 below ero. February 13. This was an average year for IS years. Precipitation The total precipitation th 1903 was 10.67 Inches, the average be ing during the past 15 years 12.80 Inches, so that 1903 waa considerably below the average in water . fall. The only year having less water was 1898 when the fall was 8.69 Inches. 1903 was an off year. The greatest water fall during any 24 hours waa .82 inch, on the 26th and 26th of August. , The maximum wind velocity during the year was 36 miles, southwest, Jan uary 24. The total miles of wind dur ing the year waa 50.836, the prevailing direction being southeast with an aver., age velocity of 6.8 miles per hour. The number of clear days during 1903 waa 181, partly cloudy 85, cloudy 149. number of daya of snow 43, foggy 4, thunderstorms 9, auroras 1. ; The lowest temperature which ever oc curred hf re waa 20 below Bero, on Feb ruary 4, 1899. The highest temperature was 101 degrees, July 24, 1890, and 101 degrees, August 10, 1898. From these figures it will be seen that Baker City and county are not very wet nor very dry, not very cold nor very hot and it la not a windy country.
