said that Pap refused to have bis
"amusements" suppressed, and sent in
bis resignation as Nasby's assistant, to
take effect January 1st. This will give
him a week in which to recuperate be
fore taking his seat in the house at Salem
on the 9th.
The inconveniences experienced in
the postoffice at The Dalles are owing to
the insufficiency of help, the result of
the short allowance by the department
at Washington. . Similar complaints
are heard from various other towns of
the northwest. ' It is the intent of the
government to afford the people celerity,
certainty and surety in the transmission
and delivery of - mail matter, hut it
seems to be difficult for the officials at

here is not so much snow on the Klicki-
