"--in .1883 ! thejieavy fall of snow at The Dalles commenced tteeeoaber , 13th, J pretty much the same as it did at 8 o'clock p. m. yesterday. A whole month of fine weather gone and yet nothing is being done at the cascade locks. Let the motto be, "Work while it is : Day." Judge A. S.

There is a hot bia river fish wheels above The Dalles this year, one of wlucli will be a cable and cage system of shipping across the river to the cannery from the Washing ton side. ' ir W. Rosa Winans, of the new Hood river town Winans, is in" the city. He reports a fine discovery of onyx, and other valuable materials and minerals iii the vicinity of his place, which will very greatly enhance values about that region." Hon. G. Wingate, an Astoria capital ist, is in the city today. He says the prospects of Astoria are growing more hopeful daily for railway connection by two lines with' the outside world, One via the Willamette valley, and one down the south bank of the Columbia. 1 Miss Mary Snipes drove into the city today in her ptueton, bringing with her as many leautiful chrysanthemums as she could conveniently load- behind the dashboard. Surrounded by snow, on the earth and falling from the skv, th contrast was one -to he greatly admire Since writing a paragraph on the sub- ject of jute bags, we learn that the Walla Walla works cover a whole block. More than 100,000 sacks were made this year; which by reason of competition, greatly reduced the entire stock used by the farmers, and it is thought that within a short time enough sacks will be manu factured to fill the demand for eastern Washington. Sheriff T. A. Ward of this city, Sheriff Leslie of Sherman county, and the sheriffs of Baker and Umatilla were pas sengers to Portland last night. They go to attend the annual meeting of the Oregon Sheriffs Association. This will be . tRfe last . nieetlngjof ;"the association before the legislature assembles, and it is presumed they will be prepared to read the riot act to the assembly in case some existing wrongs in sheriffs official capacity are not righted. . ' Mr. Simeon Bolton of Goldendale is in the city. He eays the Klickitat irri gation scheme, started on the eastern border of that county, is promising pf .hfI greatest favrblswu:S"lt8. fflater wilf be taken out of the Big Klickitat river, and the canal will cover thousands of acres of the finest land in the country.

Symons has returned from hie investigation of Snake river above Hunt ington, to see whether it is adapted for steamboat navigation, and to make a re port in regard to the necessity for draws in the bridges built by the Union Pacific across that stream. He went up as far as Boise city, which is above the upper fbridge. He makes no public ' report i a re concerning the river, but of the Boise city natatorium, with dancing hall and restaurant attached, he expresses him Ipring in the hills about a mile back of Jthe. city, and by boring there a plentiful supply of hot water was secured. This is ueed for filling the huge bath in the na tatorium, and is also utilized for heating houses. The water is very wholesome, but has a little sulphur in it. The bath is a favorite place ' of resort, and is a credit to the city. The state board of equalization are in The Dalles today.- The president of the board, Hon. J. P. O. Lownsdale of of Portland, was compelled by sickness to go home. They will not -.find an as sessment in this county as it is in Mult nomah, where it is said the county continue;-: to assess mortgages at fifty per cent of their face and allow them to be deducted from assessments of individ- als at their full value. This is the way works: B has a piece of rea) estate orth $400,000, which - is assessed at 250,000. On this piece of real estate is mortgage for $150,000 which is de ducted, leaving $100,000 for B to pay taxes on. Now, this mortgage is as sessed at half its value, or $75,000. Be fore H mortgaged his valuable real es tate he paid taxes on $250,000, but since he made a money lender his guardian the county has received taxes on only $100,000 of real estate value, and on $75, 000 of mortgage value, a total value of $ 175,000, a loss in assessment value of $75,000. This filches the county, bur dens the honest taxpayer, relieves the manipulator and gives the money lender a chance. 1 A member of the Marion delegation to the assembly is. quoted as saying that "there is not a thousand jute sacks sold to the Oregon farmers in a year," and he will therefore, perhaps, be found standing in with, the Oregon ian corres pondent, spectator, to prevent diverting the labor of Oregon convicts from cast ing stoves. Plainly speaking, such a njan is unfit to represent the state in its legislative assembly. "Not a thousand jute sacKs soia to iariners in a year is :one of the wildest exaggerations. Look' Bat the millions of jute sacks going into ships' hold at Portland and Astoria year by year, and then qualify such an' expression to harmonize with the facts, if one can. It is very clear that there are no wheat dealers yet discovered liberal enough to donate these- sacks to the farmers, and they must be paid for in depreciation of the crop or some other manner. Eastern Washington farmers, who have the advantages of cheap sacks, by reason of the labor of convicts in the Walla Walla peniten tiary, tell qnite a different story aH to the wisdom of the Olympia assembly in this matter, aud when the Salem Kolous assemble it will enhance the interests of Oregon if such gentlemen as thi Marion county delegate are relegated to mihordi nate positions on the comuiHtuea.

Cook, the traveling sales- mau of this district for Wad hams & Co., Portland, is now returning from his last tour of the Inland Empire for 1892, and is stopping over in The Dalles today. We do not Matter Mr.' Cook a bit when we credit him with being one of the ex ceptionally . few traveling salesmen whose mind and attention is diverted- to thinking and talking of methods calcu lated to benefit the producer! His ob servations have lead him to advise great er production of stock hogs. He has noticed that the farmer who has hogs to sell this fail does not complain of hard times like the extensive wheat producer and some others. Mr. Clark says Klicki tat county could raise a million dollars' worth of hogs, and the cry from packers would be for more. If the fig ures were published showing the sum of money sent from Oregon to the east, for hams, beacon, lard, butter,- eggs, etc., commodities which may be .readily and economically produced here, it would paralyze' the public. He is of the opin ion that large packing establishments located in The Dalles, would buppiy Portland, Seattle, Tacoma,' and other points of the Pacific northwest, at a con siderable advance on' prices) paid' in Chicago, Kansas city,' etc.,- because of the great saving in freights. Thk Cheoniclk has advocated this branch of business for The Dalles hitherto, and we are pleased to find in Mr. Clark a first class assistant, from whom, in a short time, we hope to Obtain some solid facts and figures. Last year Oregon's thirty -one county lKards of equalization returned to the secretary of state a total taxable prop erty of $128,447,746. This year the same returns show a total taxable property of $131, 229,132. 1,1 1 Brought bach to health sufferers from the worst forms of Skin and Sculp Diseases, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, and all manner of blood taints.

McGinn scored the Pinker ton national detective agency. He compared it with a certain animal of the southern states which first lulls -'its victim to sleep and then sucks bis life blood. It was composed of men who would accept any occupation in order to escape labor by which they could earn a living. Men who wanted to get rid of the responsibilities of life were employed by the agency, and one of their duties was to first tempt a' man to 'commit, a crime and then profit by the result. These men traveled from one city to another, like tramps, with the exception that they were occasion ally compelled to live under assumed names. Pinkertonism was a monstrous evil, born in iniquity and reared in wickedness, and should be abolished. He cited a case in which the Piukertons had induced a man to enter a bank with the intention of robbing it, and then bad him arrested. He' would like to have the law so that no private detect ive's evidence could be accepted unless it was corroborated." Wautd. A girl to do housework, T. A. Hudson's office, 83 street.

When the morning Missouliau first appeared in its reduced size,' brought about by bard times'and the democratic triumph, the editor playfully observed t "We feel this morning very much like festive Samson when the fair Deliak -clipped his whiskers." In, passing sentence upon Williams,: the colored brute of Portland, convicted, of rape ; after listening to his plea for' leniency, and a promise to become a better man, Judge Bradshaw' said : "It " . is extremely proper that Williams should become a better man ; in fact, a. -much better man. The court further paid that the crime of which the pris oner was convicted of attempting is on of the most atrocious on the record ... and ever has been so. To be sure th crime was not so flagrant as it 'might" have been. The prisoner bad not suc ceeded in carrying out his purpose,' and 1 this fact would be credited to him' ia years of servitude. Therefore the judg ment of the court . was that William " should pass the next seven years of hi life in the Salem penitentiary." The re port says Williams, apparently, could not realize for a few minutes just what had struck him, and had the sen ten c been for seventy years he would not have -, appeared - more " astonished. "Why," said he, "I expected not over four years, and thought I would get of with two." o o o o o A M line cf Mo.
