LOCAL BREVITIES
H . H. Sutcliffe, of Goldendale, ia in
the city.
It 5a reported that , there are to be
several marriages in high life in the
near future.
There were Christmas religious ser
vices in the Episcopal and Catholic
churches yesterday.
Rev. G. H. Hutchinson, late pastor of
The Dalles Presbyterian church spent
Christmas in the city.
Our subscription list is increasing
very rapidly, for which our friends will
please accept our thanks.
Yesterday was certainly a "green
Christmas" the hills being covered with
verdure, and the thermometer standing
placidly at 56 above.
Hon. D. J. Cooper, XT. S. swamp land
commissioner, arrived home to-day by
the delayed train from the East, where
he has been on official business since
July last.
Mr. Otto Kohlu, of Kohlu & Carlin,
great sheep men of the Bake Oven dis
trict, was in the city yesterday. He re
ports stock in excellent condition but if
the country could get more rain the
fanning interests and grass would be
benefitted.
Yesterday, Christmas, was the most
lovely, perfect day' on record in this
locality, beiug clear and bright, with a
maximum temperature of 56 deg. and a
minimuiu temperature of 39 deg. Bees
were out on the wing, and birds were
singing as cheerily as in spring-time.
A crate of demijohns was received by
Mr. Alloway this morning, all empty.
They were not intended as a Christmas
present but will each be filled with water
from the railroad tanks, and sent back
to Omaha for analysis, so that the effee't
of the water on the boilers can be de
termined. We understand petitions are being
circulated in Sherman and "Wasco coun
ties asking the incoming legislature to
repeal that evil, the mortgage tax law,
which is cursing our statutes and fair
state. Thia is a move in the right direc
tion and should be signed by everybody
throughout our borders.
We would call the attention of the
readers of the Chronicle to the home
market report which appears in this
issue. It will be furnished every week
corrected to date, and will be one of the
epeeial feature of this paper. It is pre
pared by one of our most reliable mer
chants and can always be depended
upon for accuracy and honesty of state
ment. We print., in thia issue a petition to
the legislature which will be presented
at its next session, asking for an appro
priation of $10,000 for the purpose of
building a wagon road over the Tygh
hill. The road ia badly needed, is too
expensive for the county to undertake,
jUnd as it is used by residents of other
tounties as a thoroughfare, it is emi
iently proper that the state should assist
in building it.
The Christmas tree of the A. O. U, W.
at K. of P. hall Christmas night was one
of the most pleasant affairs of the kind of
tde year. The Christmas tree was a
aplendid big fellow, and loaded with
fruit. The hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity and everpbody was in
that particularly happy frame of mind
which Christmas and the knowledge of
making others happy always brings.
Col. Nevius made a short bus interesting
little talk expatiating on the "good of

A PETITION.
To the Coming Session of the Legislature
for Help on the Tygli Mountain Road.
We, the undersigned would respect
fully represent to your Honorable body
that we are resident citizens of the State
of Oregon, and have personal knowledge
of the facts hereinafter mentioned.
That the only wagon road leading
from Oregon City, in Clackamas county
and Portland in Multnomah county, to
The Dalles, in Wasco county, passes
over what ia known as Tygh mountain,
about twenty-seven miles south of - The
Dalles, and between The Dalles, and
Tygh Valley ; that the grade up said
mountain as heretofore laid out, and
used, ia very steep, narrow and difficult
to travel ; and in places passes over
ledges of rocks and boulders, so much so
that it ia extremely dangerous in going'
down the grade and impossible for loaded
teams to go up the grade at all. Several
persons have already been killed by their
teams getting off from said old grade, in
going down said mountain, their horses
killed or crippled and their wagons and
freight broken to pieces and ruined.
Said road is the most direct, and ex
cept as to that part of it passing over
said Tygh mountain, is much the easiest
and most feasible route from The Dalles
to Prineville and the tributary country,
and if a good grade was constructed
over said mountain, it would shorten the
distance between said places about 25
miles and be of great public benefit
and utility and of especial importance to
the people of Clac'kamas, Multnomah,
Wasco, Crook Sherman and other coun
ties in eastern Oregon.
That during the summer of 1890 the
the county court of Wasco comnty, di
rected a view and survey across said
mountain divide, and on a route which
follows up a long canon to the west of
said old grade, and the viewers ap
pointed to make such examination and
view with the county surveyor, reported
that a good, safe and easy grade could
be made on the new route that would
enable heavily loaded teams to pass eas
ily and safely over, bofh ways, but in
the opinion of competient judges it
would cost $10,000 to construct such
grade, and that a good grade could be
constructed for said sum.
That for several miles along said old
grade and said proposed new. grade the
country is unsettled and the cost of
building said new grade renders it im
possible for any road district to build
the same, and the county of Wasco is
hardly able to undertake, alone, the
construction of said new grade at so
great an expense ; and also in view of
the fact that the people of several coun
ties are directly interested in a good
road over said mountain.
Wherefore your petitioners pray your
Honorable Body to appropriate the sum
of $10,000 from the state funds', to be
used in the construction of the proposed
new grade'over said Tygh moantain.
An Attempt at Suicide.
Henry Deerhake is lying in one of the
rooms over Skibbe's restaurant with a
bullet hole in his right breast, and a
pistol bullet lodged, probably near his
backbone. The wound was self inflicted
and while he claims the shooting wa9
accidental, all the circumstances sur
rounding the case force one to the con
clusion that it was suicidal. He had an
eight-horse team loaded with freight for
Prineville, but it is said indulged in
Christmas festivities which included
gambling, rather more than he ought to
have done. His team was at Brooks &
Beers,' and about 4 :00 o'clock Wednes
day evening he entered their store and
asked Mr. Beers if he had fed the team.
Mr. Beers told him, that as he had not
made his appearance in the morning, he
had the team fed at 9 :00 o'clock, Deer
hake asked him if he could have them
fed again that night to which Mr. Beers
made some remark about taking care of
it himself instead of running around,
but upon Deerhake insisting told him
he would have the team taken care
of Deerhaker went out, but stopped in
the door and said, "The team is good for
its feed isn't it?" Mr. Beers told him
it was and he went out aud around to
the corral. Between 4 and 5 o'clock
Mr. Beers and another man went out to
feed the team. Mr. Beers thought he
heard a groan, but not seeing anyone
paid no attention to it. Hearing it
again he looked under the shed at the
near end of the building, and seeing
some object (it was getting quite dark)
examined it to find that it was Deer
hake. To his inquiries Deerhake at
first made no reply, but finally said, "I
have shot myself." Mr. Beers went
after a light and Mr. Williams, the firm
bookkeeper, went after a doctor. Being
asked if ijt was an accident he made no
reply but finally said: "I was taking
the pistol from my vest. -I had
it in my hand." His coat is powder
burned and shows that the shot
was fired from the out side of it, and
contradicts his story of taking it from
his vest. The bullet entered about an
inch below and the same distance back
of the right nipple. Mr. Beers found
the pistol empty, and Durhaker told
him he fired the balance of the shots
through the roof of the shed, which he
did as four bullet holes are visible. The
wound is a daugeroua one the chances of
his recovery being very slim. Messrs
Brooks & Beers had his wagons unloaded
at such places as the goods are shipped
from. Hia conversation indicates very
clearly that it was an attempt at suicide,
and one that will in all probability be
successful.

. A Hero of at Practical foka, . .
A young man of about S3 is just now
the hero of a select circle of friends in
the southern section of the city, and in
view of his peculiar history he quite de
serves to he lionized. Five years ago he
was a clerk in a bank on a meager sal
ary, and one time some of the same de
voted friends of these days thought it
would be a good joke to pretend, the
bank had been robbed, and warn ; Viim
that he was suspected. This a number
did, only they called him up about mid
night, so as to give the joke a more
natural appearance. After telling rm
that two hoars before burglars had
stolen $50,000 in bank notes, they added
that the police were now on the way to
arrest him as a suspect.
It so happened that he had bat two
hoars before been in the vicinity of the
bank, and fearful of not being able to
prove an alibi, he gathered his available
belongings together and canght an early
morning train for the north. Of course
there was a big row in the vicinity of
the young fellow's home and his fanny
friends had to leave town. Fortunately
the young fellow was a bachelor, and he
was not hunted np. Recently he wrote
to an old acquaintance here from Can
ada, and the latter in replying to the
long lost youth told him the truth about
the bank joke. - Then the young fellow
came .back, bat not as he went away.
He rode in a parlor car and swelled
around in a hack. He had gone to Mon
treal and after the first shock had settled
down to work and gradually by lucky
speculation had grown rich. Philadel

Cranes in the Crimea.
Same interesting results were obtained
from the archaeological explorations car
ried on in the Crimea daring last Bum
mer. Professor VeseelovBld found paisifc
ed Iranian bones in two graves six skel
etons in one grave and oneTh another.
The well known archaeologist Professor
Grempler, of Breslan, who was present
last year at the congress of archaeolo
gists at Moscow, is of opinion that these
graves belonged to the original inhabi
tants of the Crimea, the Cimmerians of
Herodotus. It was a usage with them
to lay their dead on elevated spots so
that the birds might consume the flesh.
When quite bleached they painted the
skeletons with some mineral pigment.
U-ravescontaining such painted-skeletons
have been found m Central Atria, bat
only in a few instances. Only three such
graves had been previously found in the
Crimea. Professor Grempler proposes to
take the skeletons with him to Paris,
and exhibit them at the congress of an
thropologists to be held there daring the
autumn. Boston Transcript.
