SATURDAY JAN. 14, 1893 LOCAL BREVITIED. ' ' .1 Crandall & Burget - are now settled in tbeir new store in the Michelbach brick on Union street, next door to Floyd & Bbown'e. Call around. , i A drummer who sold a bill of goods at i-" Cascade' Locks gave rise to the rumor : that work was to commence immediately ' on the locks and canal.' Cass, our val I 'ued correspondent tells the reasons whya! m ' ' nothing is being done. - The government j has tied up the work with another seemingly everlasting string of red tape, by refusing or neglecting to turn over the plant to Day Bros.. : j ' . The Arlington Record says:- "Now that tbe legislature is in session let us make a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether for an appropriation for a portage railway between The Dalles and Celilo." To pull together' means that all the counties east of The Dalles, should get out petitions and circulate them at once among the people -.and have every man sign them if they want the portage appropriation passed, or they may wake up and find that tbe re monstrance has got in its little work ad vantageously. , , The' Condon Globe correspondent at Contention says Hon. A. S. Macallister of that place baa gone to Salem as a member of the third house. Mr. Mac allister goes in the interest of an open river, the Celilo portage road, and to lobby a bill through creating the new ,'' county, of Mitchell; also to aid in bav- ing the mortgage tax law repealed, the '' r .7 v .1 . . . . luucuKuutsB ana exemption clauses ex- eluded from the assessment act, passed . several years ego. The idea of taxing any and all property wherever found, within each assessment district, at its par value, is generally endorsed by all . classes.' :-. -: ) , -. . . , ' 7 An interesting case affecting eteam : boat men' has been decided by Judge Han ford of Seattle, in tbe suit of Mc , Kinnon vs. the Oregon Improvement company, in which the plaintiff claimed i 20,000 damages for bodily injuries. Judge Hanford in his charge told the . jury that where a public wharfinger has steamers touching at his dock, tbe use ,"ttthat dock, as between himself and the -"iaeeenger8 of one of tho steamers, is gratituous. That the wharfinger in such a case aoeg noi incur me same iiaoiuty , as to light and platforms that a railway . or other common carrier does to its pas ' cengers, but that it is sufficient that he use ordinary care to keep' bis structure ' in good condition, and that he is not f liable for an Injury to one walking on bis wharf in landing from a steamer, on lees the accident occurred under such circumstances that would render a muni : cipal corporation liable for an accident resulting from its negligence in keeping a highway in repair, in short that the owner of the wharf, at which steamers touch is under a much less stringent rule as to negligence than is a common car rier. It was upon this point that a ver dict was given for the defendent. PEASE &; Mr. Merrill Fish who has been visit ing friends in the ctiy tbe past few days returned to Portland this morning. , . ' Carpets and furniture at reduced rates at .Crandall & Burget's, next door to Floyd & Shown's drug store. ', The city is very lively today. The streets give the appearance of the busy seasons, when the wheat and wool traf fic is brisk. ' ' Mies Maude Burke left this morn ing for Oakland, , California,, where she will visit during the remaining part of the winter. , t Mr. Robt. Mays Jr., left on last nights train for the California State University, to' resume his studies, after a couple of weeks vacation with his parents in this city, The D. P. and A. N. Co., have finished raising their wharf, which in now thir teen feet , above, low .water. ' It looks more like an ocean steamer' dock than the former one. - The Mignonette Dancing Club held its first weekly meeting in Keller's hall last evening. About twenty . couples were present, and the evening passed very pleasantly. The club find their new quarters much more convenient than their old ones, and anticipate some merry evenings during the remainder of the season. Among those present were Dr and Mrs J F.Snedaker, Jndge and Mrs 6 C Blakeley: Captain and Mrs F H Sherman;, Mr. and Mrs H J Maier, Mr. and Mrs D C Herrin, Mr and Mrs F A Houghton, Mr and Mrs L E Crowe, Mrs M French, Dr H Logan, Misses Jeannette and Annie Williams, Virginia and Grace Marden, Clara Story, Caddie Booth, Iva Brooks, Matilda Hollister and Miss Gosser, Messrs M Vogt, F Faulkner, John Hampshire, John Booth, Win McCrutu, E M Williams, M Jame son, Jos Woraley, H Lonsdale, John Hertz, H French, F Sharp, J Byrne and m .Don next. gS It is undoubtedly true that "Gov. Pennoyer is against the Raley bill this year" lor the dalles portage railway, to be built by tbe state. He intimates as much in his message. As the govern ment cannot be relied upon" to build this portage inside of. forty, years, it. is the duty ot the Inland Empire farmers to personally, collectively,' by alliances, through Granges, and in every other way, address an appeal to the governor, courteously asking him to stand by them now in this, their time of need. . If he throws the measure overboard now, on the pretext that Mr. Hermann, or our senators, did the same two years ago, or at any former time, they might em ploy the same plea next winter, as Con gressman Blanch ard would certainly do, and the portage would never be built.' The governor should be gently remind ed by the farmers that, as they have stood ' by him, he should feel in duty bound to now stand by them. It is for the good of all. Old Hickory Here. Hon. W. R. Ellis, congressman elect from the Inland Empire district, is in the city today, returning from the eapi- tol city. He has so far recovered as to be able to walk with the support of a staunch hickory cane. It was tmex pected of course, but entering congress as he will after the 3d "of March next, with bo strong democratic majority against him, his "old hickory" ought to be of some service to him. It may be the correct fad to class our popular In land Empire Congressman Ellis "Old Hickory," who knows. MAYS. . Senator Willis is the object of consid erable vituperative comment because of a bill which be has introduced in tbe assembly providing that -"no female snail nerealter be employed, hired or paid for services f as clerk of or for the legislature, of this or any other branch or house, or of any committee appointed by said assembly, or by any officers of either branch." It is well that all peo ple do not think alike about such mat ters as this. Tim Chronicle is dis posed to say, with all due defer ence to the fair sex, that Senator Willis' bill should become a law. . Legislative assemblies are especially political, and. the places within the gift of members toll 1 U .1 . , i . 1 . fj ing class of society, and it is not within the province of woman in Oregon to seek such positions. ' Had no scandals arisen heretofore to afford cause for the motives actuating Senator Willis in offering his bill, there might be some excuse for the criticisms of hie course, but "reasons have existed, and conditions may ap pear to justify the present movement, hence we shall hope to see it succeed fTEKISTIXG TO HOBTIOfJLTCRISTS J.

Tout of Wasco county, not ishing new beginners to pay as dearly or their learning as he has paid for his, , gives them some of his experience.' He i eaye: "In 1848 I planted my first or chard, I bad rabbits and borers to con tend with from the start. To prevent rabbits from peeling them I was advised to grease them with lard and red pepper. I did so and so closed the bark to lose j a years growth. The only remedy that! I then knew was to split the bark from base to crown. I was then advised to tie split corn stocks on' them, which pro tected eggs to hatch a host of borers in the spring. In . ; 1850 I read in . the valley Farmer, a receipt for rabbits and one for borers, that proved to be worth fifty times the cost of the paper, vis : for rabbits, select a mild day in early winter, and dose the trees three feet high with fresh compost from a cowpen. I have practiced it ever since without a failure. "To prevent borere watch them the first season. If you eee any .borings, cut the decayed bark away with a sharp knife and feel for borers with a small wire, i Early in October scrape a basin around each tree sufficient to hold two or three gallons of water and leave them through the winter, so that rains or melting Bnowa freezing aroupd thein will crush all eggs in them, wfthout in jury to the trees. I proved it where the ground .troste- eighteen ,-inches deep. Early in lhe spring, wash with lime, strong soap, suds, or a loblolly of soft soap ; then cultivate as nearly level as you can, early, but not in mid-summer, lest you cause a tender, late growth to get winter-killed."

Uho-esum ing my chair as "the valued corres ond- ent of Tbe Chronicle, permit me say that upon the subject of county division the' people here- are almost unanimously against it. " . A , remon strance was and is being circulated here, and receiving about all the names at this place. The people say if they are cut off at all or changed from .the pres ent position they want to go to Multno mah county instead, and I think they are honest about it. About . THE .GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS . , Will say, one of the Day Bros, has been' here for tbe last week taking in the sit uation, but be has informed me that the contract has not been fully con summated, although the bonds have llong since been filed, contract awarded. but the final documents from Washing- Eton have not been sent to them. He went to Portland yesterday to meet his brother. z'' We will probably know more in a few days. You see tbe'goverhment has not yet given them - POSSESSION O THE PLANT. Of course until this is done they are unable to do anything. I believe these men mean business ; and are business men. Mr. Day told me after they got started to work it was to their interest , to finish as soon as they could, and that they . should do sol I think there will not be anything dilatory about it. Yon can say that tbe contractors are not yet in possession of the plant. Until they are we need not look for any work to start. There is nothing in the report about the large barges as yet, for they have not decided at which end of the work they are going to get the stone, hence would not build barges until they knew where they should be wanted. . V AN OPTICAL ILLUSION. H Joe Pacquet was here a day or so ago for tbe purpose of looking " over the ground and availing themselves of the best route to bring the steamer Undine over into the middle Columbia. . He thought it was to run in connection with the Paul Iohr road on the north side. But' aa I learn by the Oregonian J that the snow was three feet deep here, it was thought ad visable at present not to do anything towards ii "until the tntui had gone." This looks a little fishy, be cause the facts are that there hat been no enow here for two week! It has entirely disappeared. Over their proposed route there is no snow, nor within a mile of it. I think it would sot be amiss to give them a shot on it in The Chroni cle, for if they want the steamer Un dine over very bad they need not let the alleged three feet of snow hinder them. . Cabs. The Undine And The Snow. "Cass" explains that-"vision of the Undine at the cascades" today. If there is no more truth in the Undine story than there was about tbe three feet of snow which prevented bringing her over, it will probably be a long time be fore tbe vision turns out to be anything more than a bull and a bear freak to pull wool over the eyes of some .supposed lambs in the flock of the solons at Salem. That is wisely thought to be the purport of the Oregonian's stories of "the Un dine and the snow."
