LOCAL BREVITIES.
Mr. Richard Barker of Nansene is in
the city, he informs ua that but little
rain has fallen in that neighborhood,
not enough to make plowing possible.
The many friends of Mrs. Lulu D.
Sampson will be pleased to learn that
she has been appointed clerk of the
senate committee on commerce.
There was a pleasant social gathering
of young folks at Mr. Wentz's residence
Thursday night on the occasion of Miss
Lena's birthday. The feature of the
evening which afforded lots of amuse
ment, was the "blind auction."
A Leader reporter visited The Dalles
Chronicle office Mondav evening and
found the best eauiDoed office east of
the mountains. Cradlebaugh is making
a success out of the new paper. Klicki
tat Leader.
Mr. H. A. Moss, at one time resident
agent of the O. R. & X. Co., at Port
land, and now manager for a large com
pany at Coos bay, is in the city. Mr.
Moss came over to be present at the
marriage of Miss Nellie Lusher, his
wife's sister.
' Up to date no ice has been put up in
Eastern Oregon and in fact none of any
consequence formed. Hood River has
about 4000 tons left over from last win
ter's pack and can snap her fingers at the
weather clerk. There is plenty of time
. . yet, and it is possible the harvest in Feb
ruary may be abundant.
Senator Watkins has introduced a
resolution in the senate providing for a
joint committee from the legislature of
Oregon and Washington, that the laws
in regard to catching salmon should be
made as near alike in both states as pos
sible. As the finest salmon stream in
the world forms the bou ndarv between
the two states, it is eminently proper
that the laws concerning the catching of
V fish therein should be the same.
A petition to the legislature is being
. -circulated asking that a bill be passed
; providing for another judge in this dis
trict. Since its formation the work has
increased largely and has become too
much for one judge. Besides this there
is a demand at all times for judges in
other districts and another judge would
aid largely in removing this pressure.
The bill is a good one and should pass
without opposition.
The Oregonian has the largest circu
lation of any daily. Sundav or weeklv na-
per west of the Rocky mountains, and
in order to further increase its circula
tion they have selected with great care,
a large list of valuable books, and other
useful articles and are offering them as
premiums to each new subscriber to
any of it several issues for yearly sub
scriptions. The Oregonian should be in
every household. Send for premium
list to the Oregonian Publishingcompany,
Portland, Oregon.
The weather prognostications for this
point are telegraphed from Portland
about 8 o'clock each evening at which
times the signals are changed. It has
been said that a person in Portland could
not predict the weather here, but when
it is remembered that the signal office
there gets reports from every point
reached by the telegraph, it will be seen
that a pretty correct calculation can be
made; or at least a more correct one
than could be made by a person here
without this information.
The city is about as quiet as we have
ever known it, but in a short time .as
spring opens business will pick up and
with the shipment of wool a prosperous
season will begin. There is plenty of
time yet in which to get abundant rain
fall and the weather records of the past
forty years show that but one dry season
and consequent crop failure has visited
us. Of course we would all like to see it
rain now, but we must trust the Power
iub Knun uic BuiiHjiine ana tne showers
to take care of the weather, while we
look after the soil and seed.
Carl Nickelsen, one of the boys who
left a month ago to see the big-big world
that lay beyond the green hills that sur
round The Dalles arrived home yester
day, abundantly satisfied with what he
Had seen. His partners left him in
Chicago going on to New York, but Carl
had seen enough and started for home.
He was a sad looking wreck, ragged and
dirty and showing the abrasions which
contact with the great busy planet is
sure to give to the homeless and friend
less little fellows. He has had as much
experience as could be crowded into the
brief space of a month, and we hope is
thoroughly atisfied.
For a cut, bruise, burn or scald, there
is nothing equal to Chamberlin's Pain

than any other application, and unless
the injury is very severe, no scar is left.

CAPITAL NOTES. .
: V Sj J f . . . Salkm, Jan. 15, 1691.
Both houses adjourned this forenoon
to meet on Monday next at 2 p. m. They
had got so far ahead of the state printer
that no bills were ready for their action,
and then they were tired, poor fellows,
after the arduous labors of fifteen or six
teen hours in four days. Most of them
have left for Portland or home and the
capitol is only disturbed by the disconso
late tread of would-be clerks or the
ubiquitous presence of the members of
the third house. The Dalles has con
tributed its full quora of visitors. Ex
Governor Moody is here, and his honor,
the mayor paid us a flying visit.
Mrs. Lulu Sampson is visiting with
Mrs. Moody. Mr. A. G. Johnson ar
rived to-day only to find both houses
adjourned, when he returned to Port
land. Hon. C. M. Cart wright and W.
McD. Lewis also left for home.
Ex-Senator Biggs is here from Sher
man to fight Representative McCoy's
bill for another slice off Wasco.
Mr. Heath is here too, with a pocket
full of petitions in favor of the McCoy
bill but the wily ex-senator is too smart
for them, for he informs me that the bill
fs killed already. It is simply wonder
ful the influence that some of those old
ex-members wield.
Mr. H. C. Coe from Hood River ar
rived this morning. He is loaded with
petitions in favor of Cascade county,
and assures the members whom he has
seen that there is not the slightest oppo
sition to the project. Poor old v asco !
One by one her children leave her and
set up housekeeping on their own ac
count. I would not be surprised if Rep
resentative Johnson should introduce a
bill to annex what is left of Wasco after
the slicers get done with her, to Dufur,
or Senator Watkins a measure for an
nexation to North Dalles.
The governor's message was a boom
erang, at least the governor thought so.
He is as proud of it as a child with a new
rattle. I saw him shortly after he had
read it, and his first word was, "what do
you think of my message?" I told him
I thought he was hard on Eastern Or
egon. He disapproved of the pittance
of $1500 each given to two Eastern Or
egon district fairs while we had long
paid our quota without a grumble to
support a state fair that, separated as
we are by distance and physical obstruc
tion from the place where it is held, is of
no earthly benefit to nineteen out of
every twenty of the people of Eastern
Oregon. .
The message is generally thought to
out-Pennoyer Pennoyer. Although the
utterance of a Democratic governor, it is
not Democratic. He adopts every an
cient and modern remedy in the pharma
copoeia of the inflationist, and every fad
of the most ultra of modern reforms, and
it is all in the message too tariff for
revenue only, the sub-treasury schemes
for two per cent, loans to farmers,
anti-chinese legislation, a graduated in
come tax, partial government control of
telegraph lines, abolition of federal in
ferior courts, free coinage of silver, re
peal of national banking law, the issu
ance of money by the government,
direct to the people, etc., etc. So vou
see it in nnt fumrVIv n. moufla tf if ia
platform, and one wide enough to hold
1 1 , r l
nu mouern reiormers, ana ovivester

So mote it be. " Nemo.
MARRIED
At the residence of the bride's parents
in this city, January 17th, Miss Nellie
Lusher, daughter of Mrs. Rudolph
Lusher of this city to Mr. George St,
John, of Tacoma. The bride is a native
of The Dalles and one of its most charm
ing young ladies. Mr. St. John carry
ing away one of one of our brightest
girls, brings to mind forcibly those lines
of Hood's :
"Were there no beauteous dames at home
And no true lovers here,
, That he should come so fur to win
The dearest of the dear."
We join a host of friends in wishing
the young couple unbounded prosperity
and a long and happy life. They left for
their future home, Tacoma, this morn
ing.

in use since last fall, and the present

He discovered that a rat had somehow
got shut up in the box presumably three
months ago. When the box was opened
the' rat was found not only alive but
actually fat. The rat had devoured all
the lining of the safe, and if given a few
more weeks would have eaten it up en
tirely, thus surrounding his surround
ings. It is a pity he was disturbed for
we verilv believe that he would have
"eaten himself out of house and home."

TIm Glow til of iMdoa.
We are too frequently disposed ' to
think of the rapid growth of oar Ameri
can cities jia. merely incidental to the
settlement of a new country, and to ru
gard the European cities as old and sta
tionary. It is true that their nuclei are
ancient, but so far as the greater part' of
their built tip area is concerned they are
almost or quite' as new as the American
cities. They, like oar own population
centers, have grown unprecedented! y in
recent decades as the result of modern
transportation and industrial systems.
Thus London today is five times as large
as it was at the opening of the present
century. From 900,000 at that time the
population of London grew to 1,500,000
in 1830, and by 1855 it had increased to
2,500,000. Since 1855 it has more than
doubled.
The present sovereign has witnessed a
gain of 200 per cent, or more since she
began to reign. There are three or four
dwelling houses now for every one that
was visible' at the date of her corona
tion. In the past forty years from
2,000 to 2.500 miles of new streets have
been formed in London. Who, study
ing the growth of foreign cities, can
doubt the continued growth of our own?
London is snot an exception. All the
other great towns of England have
grown up as if by magio within this
century.
The same statement applies to those
of the continent. Paris is five times aa
large as it was in the year 1800. Berlin
has grown much more rapidly than
Paris. Vienna has expanded marvel
ously since 1840. This is a digression,
but I shall continue it enough further to
remark that an examination of the
causes which have Built up these Euro
pean centers easily justifies the judg
ment that none of our twenty leading
American cities has begun to approach
its maximum size. Dr. Albert Shaw in
Century.
Bow Col. De Preee Managed.
Col. De Frece tells how he managed
to make his stage at the Stanley lecture
pay him about $4,000. It is a trick
worth knowing, although 1 do not think
he intended that the public should
be taken into his confidence in relation
to it. The colonel went down to Mayor
Grant's office and got a list of the promi
nent citizens who had been named on
World's fair . committees as represent
ative New Yorkers when we were try
ing to secure the location of the fair
in this city. With this list as a basis ho
sent out 400 polite notes about as follows:
My Dkab 6m You have been selected to serve
as a member of the committee on reception at
the Metropolitan Open House on the occasion of
Henry H. Stanley's first lecture in America.
Kindly notify me at once of your acceptance.
There were very few replies that were
not in the nature of an acceptance.
Every man who got such a note as that
felt nattered by the distinction and sent
in his acceptance at once. Thereupon a
second note was sent to him requesting
him to send a check for $10 for his stage
seat Having accepted the honor he
couldn't very well refuse to . pay for it,
even though he knew and felt he had
been tricked. Vet I am told that some
gentlemen upon the receipt of the second
letter had the good sense to write and
decline either to serve on the "reception
committee' or to send $10 to Col. De
Frece. New York Press,
A New Novelist.
A new Richmond is about to enter the
field of fiction a woman who has here
tofore confined her public work to essay
writing and dress reform. 1 refer to
Mrs. Annie J enn ess-Miller, who, I learn,
has just signed a contract with a New
York publishing house for her first novel.
I suppose that Mrs. Miller is one of the
hardest worked women in this country.
She has not learned the art of dictation
to an amanuensis, and so, when I called
upon her last week, 1 found her suffer
ing from writer's cramp.
She and others like her should take a
lesson from John Habberton, the author
of "Helen's Babies.'' who told me only
recently that he could dictate a novel
either to a stenographer or directly to a
typewriter, or that he could write with
his left hand quite as well as with his
right, and he has on one occasion talked
a whole novel of 250,000 words into one
of Edison's phonographs. Is there not a
hint in this for our overworked literary
men and women? Edward W. Bok's

A Bear in the Boad.
Sir oxen ought to be enough for one
bear, but they are not. On an evening
not long ago John R. Sullivan, of Whit
neyville, was journeying home from
Wesley with six oxen tied together.
When in the vicinity of Six Mile Hill
they suddenly halted and manifested
great fear. Mr. Sullivan, who went
forward to ascertain the cause, found a
very large bear standing erect in the
middle of the road, and not more than
two rods distant, i Mr. Sullivan threw a
few stones at the bear, which responded
by hopping around upon its haunches
and waving its fore paws as if it meant
business; but the next volley caused him
to assume a different attitude, and with
angry snarls he left the road. Augusta

Waiting; Twe ty-two Tears for a Trial.
Sometimes the law is strangely forget
ful. For instance, John Blyer, 63 years
of age, has been a prisoner in the Vance
burg, Ky., county jail for twenty-two
years, on a charge of murder. By some
strange chance the law has forgotten his
existence, and all these years he has been
patiently waiting for a trial that has
never come. In the mean while the wit
nesses against him are all dead, and his
identity has so completely sunk out of
recollection that he is referred to simply
as "the dead man in cell two.' New
York Tribune.
A Question Settled.
When a citizen has come to believe
he owns the earth it is well that he
should either receive his deed for the
same or discover that he was mistaken.
The -supreme court of Michigan has de
cided that no Detroit alderman even
owns the state. This is an awful bitter
dose to take, but will result in good.
