i The Dalles whenever there was snow
nee 1855, and it is still in good condi-

around Cape Horn in the summer of
ftiiat year, for Capt. - Jordan, who was
then an army officer, stationed at the
garrison in this city.
nox was discovered -on the
steamship Umatilla at Port Townsend a
fnw days fince. On the way from Ta
coma the butcher was taken violently
sick while cutting up the meat, for a
day's consumption. An examination
showed that he was afflicted with a most
virulent attack of smallpox.. "The Uma
tilla had about 150 passengers on lioard
arid the consternation among them was
great when the steamer was ordered
into quarantine at Port Townsend. The
agentp asserted that the steamer would
arrive at Sin Francisco on time, and
that the passengers, after being fumi
gated, would go on down overland, pass-'
ing Portland.
Bryon Barnard, whope name was on
the Sullivan "detective" warrant as one
of the Roslyn bank robbers, writes to

arrested yet. When he learned that he
was" accused he telegraphed to the Port
land chief of police that he could be
found in Chinook, Mont., where he has
charge of 100 saddle horses and 1,500
head of cattle,, and if taken away some
one will pay for it. It is said that
Bryon is the only one of the four having
Nierve enoueh to carrv out anv such mi

a?ai3rleaking of property available for
taxis ' in Sherman county, the Observer
say : '"The increase in gross taxes of
1892 and over 1891, is $166,958, and the
increase in, valuation of the taxable
pro rin 1892 is $133,927. It is a
gross imposition npon the people of this
county to crow and gloat over something
that does ijot not have a word of truth
in it. We cope that our contemporary
in The Dal jla will correct his error. We
went to tie county clerk's office and
examined the tax sheet and that is the
way we fonod it." Admitted. But
how doe8Jhe levy compare? It is one
thing to assess taxes, and quite another
thing to nay taxes. Look up the re
ceipts. When Air. and Mrs. E. L. Smith of
Hood River were up here last week
their pit dog Chub had been' accident
ally locked into Mr. Smith's office. On
urnfng Mrs. Smith chanced to notice
thakjfiot of plants that bad been placed
in tbe windows were gone, and proceeded
to investigate. Chub was discovered
tbe first tbing, and then Chub's work
came to light. The Glacier says he had
knocked down every plant, gnawed the
bottoms of the , doors and mouldings
nearly through, chewed up the carpet
for a yard around each door, and the
window sills gave evidence of the sharp
ness of bis teeth. The dog was delighted
to get oat, as there was -nothing left for
him to do inside. . : ; . .

There is scarcely .an inch of enow- all

East winds prevailing.- At The Dalles
southwest winds "prevail, .west of The
Dalles, 'west winds prevail, wih heavy
fall of snow. At Bonneville this fore
noon snow was twenty inches deep.
Conditions now depend upon whether
east winds-with clearing cold, or south-:
west wind with snow and warmer, con
quers between this city ami Celilo. It
is thought, that southwest winds will
prevail, from barometer and thermome
ter readings here at 12-o'clock today
which were: . Barometer 29:63 and sti 1
falling ; ' thermometer 29 above zero,
stationary.
Mr. Alfred Rasche, one of the seven
traveling salesmen on the road for the

Deavers, w:ir in the city last evening
winding up his last '"outing" for 1892.
This makes the 19th year he has been on
the road, eleven years east .and eight
years in Oregon.' This, year he decided
to embark in a little venture on his own
account, and looking about for an in
vestment, the best thing he could see,
f.ir certain and immediate returns, was
the sheep and wool industry of the In
land Empire, and he placed 5.000in
Klickitat sheep; letting them nut on
shares. He will continue with Messrs.
Clossett & Deavers in his present, capa
city, and the company intend to put two
more good men on the road. 'm-xf year;
In about two weeks Mr. K. will again
visit Tbe Dalles, to-be here aul take or
ders for -more good 4 when the Regulator
and Dalles City are ready to n-stini"
