LOCAL BRKVITIKS.
. Mr. J. C Egbert is in town.
W. N. Wiley left the city this morn
ing for his ranch near Antelope.
More snow fell again last night, bnt it
is melting rapidly under a warm min
huie, and every drop if pinking into the
earth.
The city is well supplied with all kinds
of wood and sells at the following prices,
oak $5.50; fir $4.00; pine $4-00 and nlab
wood at $3.00 per cord delivered.
All the menbers of the (?. A. K. are
requested to assemble at their post, on
special business, on Saturday evening at
the usual hour.
The umbrella theives did a wholesale
bueiners at the M. E. church iftst night.
Mr. Tiios. McCoy lost his, and a lady,
whose name we did not learn, suffered a
like causality.
Kansas claims the honor of electing
the first Knights of Labor to the con
gress of the United States. W. A. 1'fef
fer, Senator, and John Davis, Congress-
The speciul services at the Methodist
vhurch closed last evening. The total
members of those who united with the
vhurch, as the fruit of the mission, is
Maid to be in the neighborhood of eighty.
The storm of yesterday and last night
was general throughout the interior.
The precipitation from the melted snow
was 42-109 of an inch, which was about
Ave inches.
We hope no further objections will be
raised, and that our citizens will com
plete the subscription list Immediately
so that Mr. Norton may commence the
work next week as already arranged.
The very many friends of Ed. Solomen
are glad to welcome him -back to the
city after his long absence, and to know
that he has assumed control of his
father's store which means he has re
turn ed f stay.
The Congregational church Sabbath
school wll hold a concert Sunday night
in placeif the regular evening service.
A fine fttogramme has been arranged
and the exercises promise to be enter
taining. Arthur Walters, the bogus check man,
who with three minor offenders escaped
from the custody of Sheriff Sampson in
the county jail of Oregon City last Satur
day, was re-arrested in Portland last
Tuesday night.
It is expected that the Portland Cham
bers of Commerce and some of the most
public spirted citizens will advance the
money for an Oregon exhibit at the
World's Fair, in the hope that in two
years the legislature will pay it back,
aud that a liberal appropriation will be
provided.
. air. a. tn. rorton, mining engineer
and surveyor, expects to commence the
survey of the railway between this city
and the coal fields of Gilliam Co., next
Monday. Eigth hundred dollars of the
thousand needed for the work was al
ready subscribed last evening.
A touching little incident occured at
the late wreck near Wyeth Station. One
of the lady passengers had a canary bird
in a cage which was sitting in a corner
of the car that was smashed most, and
where the passengers were hurt most,
but the cage was scarcely scratched. It
was taken out and set on the track when
the little prisioner commenced to sing as
though bent on cheering its less fortun
ate companions.
The snowballing nuisunce is upon us
and while we would not curtail any
healthy enjoyment, some are carrying
the sport beyond all decent bounds.
We are informed that a very respectable
elderly lady, living on the bluff, was at
tacked by a lot of hoodlums night before
last near the corner of Union and Third
streets, and hit with snow balls as many
,as twenty or thirty times. At the M. E.
hurch last evening a crowd of the same
kidney stood near the entrance and
ade the night hideous with profanity
nd snow balls. This thine is going too
ar and ought to be stopped. -
Some of our citizens are refusing to
n tribute towards defraying the ex-
lense of a preliminary survey to the
Fossil mines on the ground that a man
V-an ' take an aueroid and by making a
leva olftervations make a profile, thus
L-CJsuj"bne thousand dollars for practic-
.Uy nothing. Mr. jNorton wishes it dis-
inctiy understood that this is not the
ase. A fully equipped party of six men
Uill be engaged all the time, the line will
e run with a transit and afterwards
rades demonstrated with a level ; stakes
kill be Bet every hundred feet so that the
ine c&feibe traced, examined and verified
t any aad every point on the route.
Nothing doing today at the stock
yards. ' " - -
Dick. Barter, of Nansene, has sold out
his interest at that place to Mr. Bremer
of The Dalles and Prineville Stage Co.
Mr. Barter is moving his household
goods to this city for the present.
Mr. Solomon will move to Portland on
the first of the week and will sell at
private sale part of his furniture, car
pets, stoves, lamps, etc., tomorrow at the
residence of the family. We advise per
sons to visit his place next door to J.
B. Crossen's residence, on Third street
between Liberty and Lincoln.
The rumor that has been afloat the
past few days in the city that there had
been a collision between the officials and
citizens over the county seat question at
Burns, Harney County, fails to be cor
roborated. Justice Scbutse avows that he abhors
trying a case where a Dutchman is a
party. They will persist in mistaking
his honor for a Dutchman, and address
him in the language of the Vaderland.
The new Thompson building on the
east corner of the old mint property is
nea'ring completion, and the plasteres
have about finished their work. It will
be occupied by Dan Baker as a saloon.
Charley Helm, of Prineville, who
started for Portland with twelve head of
fine horses day before yesterday, had to
put back to The Dalles on account of the
landslide near Mosier. He left again
last night on the 11p.m. freight.
Mr. A. C. Sanford, of Wapinitia, is in
town today. He reports that snow fell
at his place to a depth of fourteen inches
but has melted fast and is all going into
the ground. Stock ib in fine condition
and the outlook very encouraging.
Mr. Geo. Grasser, the father of Mr. G.
A. Grasser of this city, has lately arriv
ed from Quincy , 111. His family consist!
of ten persons and they have the Tom
Denton place on Mill creek, and" intend
to make their future home among ue.
They are Germans, and we cannot have
too many of them.
The case of A. Bowers against Sol.
Houser, which has been on trial in Jus
tice Dougherty's court for the past two
days has just ended by the jury giving
the plaintiff $125 and costs. It involved
the value of a mare which Bower's lent
to Houser. to make a trip to The Dalles
and which in consequence of having
been overheated ns Bowers charged,
subsequently died.
We are delighted to hear that our old
and much esteemed friend E. N. Chand
ler familiary known in The Dalles as
"pap" is going to take charge of the
new co-operative store, soon to be open
ed, in the new Vogt Block. We sincere
ly believe that the company could hard
ly have made a better selection, and we
heartily wish him and the new enter
prise the fullest measure of success,
Charley Richmond has discovered that
he is not half as well known in this
town as be thought he was. An old
neighbor of his named George McGoni
gal from back in Jackson county, Michi
gan, dropped off the train a few days
ago, at this place and inquired for him
by name, but nobody at the depot knew
such a man, till at last Mr. McGonigal
struck Ben Scott, who informed him he
was working for Mr. Richmond. It
frequently happens that a man is too
well known, but Charley's case is differ
ent. ...

. DIED.
Johnathan Butler, of Nansene, died
very suddenly yesterday afternoon at
his home in his 59th year. He was read
ing a paper, when without any warning
he fell to the floor and was gone in a
few minutes. ' He had been . in poor
health for some time. He leaves a wife
and family of grown children. Mr.
Butler was the uncle of D. W. Butler, of
Tygh Valley.
A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern lowa, was called away
from home for a few davn : rftirinir his ab
sence one of the children contracted a
severe cold and his wife bought a bottle
ot unamDerun s uougn cemedy for it.
They were so much pleased that they
afterwards used several bottles at var
ious times. He said, from experience
with it, he regarded it as the most reli
able preparation in use for colds and that
it came the nearest being a specific of
any medicine he had ever seen. For
sale by Snipes & Kinersly. x
The English apprehend a big demand
for money by Germany, which iB prepar
ing to place its loan, and rates are stiflen-
lng perceptibly. There are rumors of
BEVrEW -OF THE LOCAL MASEET.
, The review of the local market is with
out much interest,- trfflic of all kinds
has been light.
Rbal Estate The only change notic
able in the realestate market since last
report is a greater degree of confidence
manifested by everyone. . The number
of transfers reported during the week is
not large, but an increasing demand is
noted and holders show no desire to sell
at present prices. The passage of the Cas
cade portage railroad bill has doubtless
had some effect and that with the flatter
ing prospects of increased activity in all
lines of business which is expected to
begin with the coming wool season has
called forth the ' opinion of many that
Dalles property has touched low water
mark.
There have been some grain and wool
transactions during the week and show
an advance in price as stated, Messrs.
McFarland & French sold 26,000 pounds
of Eastern Oregon wool at an advance on
quotation of 2 cents, realizing 18 cents
per pound. In the grain market there
is no new feature of interest to note, save
light advance in wheat which is simply
on a demand to fill charters in Portland
for export.
There is an increased inquiry for
vegetables such as cabbage which is very
scarce,also turnips, carrots and parsnips,
the market is quite bare of these.
Good green apples are verv scarce
and command a ready sale at from
$1 .25$1 .50 a box. The onion market is
in full supply and indicates a slight
decline.
The live stock market is not as active
as it was for the week previous for ship
ment. The demand is easily supplied
with prime beeves and mutton for the
home market. Our dealers quote an
advance of cents per pound for fat
cattle, and ?4 of a cent for prime hogs.
V eal is in good demand at 5 cents for
heavy to 7 cents for light, with a good
inquiry as the supply is insufficient. '
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are as fluctuating as formerly-,
with no encouraging features to report.
Chicago's May delivery quotation is
96K 5 New York, 1 .05 .
Portland's market reports an advance
with a firmer tone. Its quotations arr
Valley is quoted $1.2o1.27 : East
ern Oregon. $1.15.1.17J.
Dalles market has been more active
with a slight advance since last week,
quote, .58 for No. 1 ;" .55 for No. 2.
Oatb The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations with
an upward tendency". We quote, extra
clean $1.50 per cental and inferior $1.35
1. 40 per cental.
Barley There is nothing doing in
barley. There is none offering. Quote
prime brewing $1.051.10. feed$1.00
1.05 per cental, sacked.
Floub Best brands $3.75$400 per
barrel.
Millbtuffs The supply is quite suffi
cient for the demand. We quote bran
and shorts $20.00 per ton. Shorts and
middlings $22.50$24.00 per ton.
Hay We cannot offer any encourage
ment in the hay market or change our
quotations. The situation remains . the
same as to demand, with a full supply
on hand. Quote, timothy, $17.00 per
ton, wheat hay in compressed bales
$12.00. Oat hay dull sale at $11.00
12.00. Alfalfa market is without change
in former quotation.
Potatoes Are in good supply and
have a downward tendency. Quote,
$.80, and .90 cents per lOOfc.
Buttkk The market is quite bare qf
bntter of the different grades and shows
a stiffness in quotations. Quote A 1 .70,
good .65, brine .400.45, common .30
.35 per roll.
Eggs The market is firmer, the
stormy weather has been unfavorable for
increased supply and the former quota
tion is firmer. Quote .15 .16 per
dozen.
Poultby -The poultry market is
stiffer . since our last quotation,
and a still farther advance is looked
for as there is a scarcity in supply,
which continues. We quote, good,
average fowls $4.00 per dozen, common
$3.003.50 per dozen. Turkeys .10 per
. Geese .90$1.25 each. Ducks .35

8h Writea Lots Letter.
Very few people can do what a jolly
old lady who keeps a notion chop on
Thompson street has succeeded in doing
inspiring sufficient confidence in a
large circle of her young male custom
ers to induce them to intrust to her the
writing of their love letters. These
young men are mostly wage earners,
who toil all day, who have horny hands
bnt warm hearts, and who have never
become well, enough acquainted with'
the pen to give them confidence in their
own ability to write nice letters to their
sweethearts.
These young lovers go to the little
shop on Thompson street, and in the
privacy of the quaintly furnished back
room give the pink cheeked, silver haired
mistress of the place a general idea of
what they want to write "to de girL"
Then they sit back and play with the
yellow tabby cat and listen to the
scratching of the old lady's pen. In ten
minutes the letter is read to the lover.
If it meets with his approbation, it is
sealed, addressed and posted. Then the
blushing youth hands the old lady a
silver quarter and goes on his way re
joicing. New York Star.
An American woman with, a pretty
foot and a well filled purse is having an
order filled abroad for six pairs of boots
to be incrusted with precious stones.
Evidently the fair diplomat desires to
to call attention-to her shapely foot.
