Saturday.
A purse containing a small amount of
money was found on the eireet Satur
day. The owner can have the same by
calling at this office.
Centerville is going to De connected
with Goldendale by telephone. Why
would it not pay to connect The Dalles
with Dufur in the same manner.
Do you know that Beech's Tea is
claimed to be absolutely pure. It is for
sale by Leslie Butler at 50 cents a pound.
Give it a trial and you will nse no other.

The number of the winning card was

edged the courtesy of a complimentary

evening of Monday December 28th in
stant. ' SJAs we write, there lies before us a full
blown Sanfrans rose that. Mrs. S. L.
Brooks plucked from her garden Satur
day morning and presented to this office.
Nothing can better illustrate the character-
of our climate than this thing of
beauty, the most tender of all the roses
blooming in all its lovliness and with
scarcely an abatement of fragrance in
the midst of an Eastern Oregon winter.
In recognition of" the valuable volun
teer services Mr. S. L. Brooks has ren-
. dered to the signal service for over sev
enteen years, Mr. Fague, the chief of
the Oregon bureau, made him a Christ
mas present of a valuable standard mer
curial barometer. , It may be mentioned
here to the honor of Oregon and Mr.
Pague that that gentleman's Btanding for
the accuracy and efficiency of his work in
the department he so ably serves is at
- the head of every other official in a sim
ilar position in the United States.

will spend his vacation in making a trip

ing to college at Berkley January 14th,
1892. He goes, we understand, as a rep
resentative of one of the college societies
of Berkley to meet a convention from
Yale and other prominent colleges of
the United States. We judge it to be a
singular honor indeed to be selected for.
this mission from among 800 to 1000
students. . Mr,. Mays . started ...on . his

Special Correspondence of the Chronicle.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 22, 1891.
This "City of magnificent distances"
is putting on its holiday attire and the
U. S. congress is getting ready to enjoy
the Christmas turkey. . ' -
Your correspond arrived here last Fri
day morning and after getting comfort
ably settled, proceeded to the house
wing of the capitol only to find the said
house adjourned until noon next day
and Hon. M. C.'s whom I wished to see,
"non est," some in committee rooms
and some like our busy bee, Hon.Binger
Hermann, rushing around through the
department offices, each with pockets
crammed with documents to be attended
to. Saturday I again searched the west
wing for a look at some M. C. of familiar
face, but was apparently doomed to dis
appointment, and was leaving the capi
tol in disgust when at the very last mom
ent's ran against the sturdy form of the
energetic member from our district, who
immediately took me under his wing
and put me in the swim in the depart- j
ments transacting business for others
and giving personal interviews as he ar
rived at the different buildings. Shortly
after meeting Mr'. H. we ran against
Col. McArthurr formerly of- The Dalles
and took him in tow. ...On, the way , to.
the agricultural department, where Mr.
H. had some business to transact' it 'oc
curred to me that there was a coinci
dence, and I mentioned it.. "Here -we
are, three sturdy republicans, all citizen's
of Oregon and all born in the good old
State : of ' Maryland." "Three coinci
dences," amended Mr. Hermann.
After paying our respects to Uncle
Jerry Rusk, who by the way, kaows ex
actly what he is about, we proceeded to
the general land office. It was after 2,
but the magic words, "Member of house
and friends," opened the doors on oiled
hinges.' Our first call was on the Hon.
Thos. H. Carter, a most genial, pleasant
and courteous gentleman, who gave me
a most cordial' invitation to go through
bis department and ''see the machine at
work." .This'was "just what I wanted
and should have asked had not the chief
anticipated my - wish. Was introduced
to the ehief clerk, Mr. Ross, a most
affable and - intelligent, wide-awake
gentleman, and made an appointment
for today to go through the different
divisions. Saturday evening I went
over to Baltimore and returned yester
day at 9 a. m., met Col. McArthur by
appointment at the capital at 11 and
found Senator Dolph, who, although
busy preparing for his immediate jour
ney to Kansas as one of the committee
to attend the body of the late Senator
Plumb, whose sudden death the previous
day- cast a gloom over the whole city,
gave me half an hour's time which must
have been precious to him. At twelve
the senate met to join in the funeral
service to the dead senator in the senate
chamber. The ceremony was very im
pressive and was listened to by a dis
tinguished audience. ' The president and
his cabinet, judges of the supreme court,
foreign ambassadors, heads of the army
and navy, members of the senate and of
the house and a very large concourse in
the galleries. Your correspondent oc
cupied a seat an the floor of the senate,
flanked by the member , froni the ' first
district. ' ' ":.:
I had, last night, a very pleasant and
lengthy talk with Senator . Mitchell.
The senator is of the opinion th at it is
absolutely useless, ra view nf the feeling
in congress and out, in regard to build
ing railways to ask congress to do any
thing towards building a portage around
the Dalles and7 Celilo obstructions, also
that it would take such a' large' amount
of money and consume so much time to
build a canal, that it is practically hope
less to expect relief is that way and that
the only way out of the difficulty in the
near fufure is to try for a ship railway.
My own humble opinion is that the
present congress, or the bouse at least,
will refuse to vote a dollar for anything
that they can help and the next congress
will have a long list of deficiency bills to
drovlde for. Of one thing the readers of
he Chbonicle may rest assured and
that is that each and every member ' of
the delegation will work untiringly in
the interests of the people and will se
cure for Oregon all she is entitled to. ; r
It' has "become a saying in the :"depart
mehta ' that ' Oregon : takes everything
that is found lying aronnd loose and ' to
day when. t went to the chief clerk with
the - thirty or . forty things 'which I
wanted, he, While ordering my requisi
tions filled, langhingly said, "I hope
yon - Oregon ' fellows will leave us' the
building, at least.-"' ' ; '".'''
Conjectures, of course, are being made
as to who-wilt be nominated for .presi
dent by our people. Some think Mr.
Blaine, others Mr. Harrison. ?
..Tomorrow at .12 the house meets for
the purpose, of hearing the announce
ment .of ..-committees after . which the
will adjourn till after the holidays. .
ZZDeo ' volente will . leave tomorrow
night for home. . ' ; Alaska.
AlU i ; .; . ,A Brave Deed.
Miss Annie Lang performed an act
today that won " very warm approval
from those who witnessed it. The team
of M. M. Cushing had been left standing
unhitched in front of the store of Maier
& Benton. -Probably it was a passing
team that scared it,- but it started to
move east and by the time it got to the
crossing at Chrisman & Corson's it was
beginning to move at a lively gait.
Miss Lang happened to be at the cor
ner when the team came up, and with
great courage and dexterity she dashed
to the side of the team and caught one
of the horses by the bridle which she
held - fast till they came to a dead
stop. It was nobly and bravely done,
and the young lady deserves very great
praise.
