The month of Jannary was remarka

Wild flowers are in bloom and tell us
that spring will soon be here. The

The prospects are good for considera

Some fine residences are in contempla

It has been suggested that the Febru

the last Monday of February, instead of
the second, as at present. A saving of
jury fees could also be figured.
The party last evening at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. H. Chrisman was a most
njoyable affair. The guests were en
tertained during the evening in various
ways,-and left with the memory of hav
ing passed a very pleasant time.
Oregon machine-dried prunes -that

Some of the ladies observed the- birth
day of Washington yesterday by dress
ing in the costume of Martha Washing
ton, and the reporter couldn't repress
the secret observation that if the style of
120 years ago were to come into vogue
again, it would be much more sensible
than hoop skirts, and be vastly more
attractive.
Anniversary Party at Mr. Klindt's.
At the home of Mr. Henry Klindt,
in the suburbs, Washington's birthday
was celebrated in a very pleasant man
ner, it being also the anniversary of the
63d birthday of tho host. The guests
enjoyed a very pleasant drive to the
residence, whither they were taken in
carriages. :A "sumptuous dinner was
served in the afternoon, and the health
of the host and hostess was drank in
wine from the vintage of Mr. Cushing.
After the repast, the guests adjourned
to the parlors, where cards were in order
till the- carriages were announced.
Those present were Mr and Mrs Klindt,
Judge and Mrs Liebe, Mr and Mrs
Nielsen, Mr and Mrs Cushing, Mrs
Brooks, Miss Klindt, Miss Dora Nielsen,
Mr Albert Klindt and Mr Walter
Klindt.
A Washing-ton Frolic.
A very pleasant affair was the sur
prise party across the river last night at
Mr. and Mrs. William Brune's. Music,
games, dancing and a suberb lunch all
contributed to an evening's enjoyment,!
which was too quickly terminated by'
the relentless hands of the clock as they,
indicated that a new day had been born'
and was quite healthy. It was a genu-'
ine surprise party, unquestionably, for
on arriving, Mr. Brune was found to
have retired, but this fact only served to
make the occasiou merrier, by reason of
good-natured badinage on the host's ex
emplary habits. Those' present were:
Miss Pauline Buchler, Miss Louise Pay

THE INLAND STAR.
The Sturdy Little Boat Conies Out Un
scathed.
When the ice was bearing down so
heavily on the little boat Inland Star,
the report was current that she had
cracked from bow to stern. Now that
the ice has gone down it is shown that
her hull is as sound as ever. The test is
probably the most severe to which she
could be subjected, as it is 'estimated
that the force against her was equal to a
100 ton pressure. ' Mr. Kennedy, the
builder and captain of the boat, has been
about two years in constructing her.
With no previous knowledge of boat
building, and rejecting all advice from
those claiming a knowledge in the art,
he has constructed a miniature steamer
which, as far as strength is concerned, is
able to bnffet the storms of the ocean.
Her equipment is now complete- and
she will be launched in about a week.
The only effect of the squeeze she has
recently had was to break the propeller
wheel (which Mr. Kennedy thinks was
broken before) and loosen some of the
calking. The captain expects to go be
low before the close of the week, to se
cure the necessary papers allowing her
to do business on the river.

From onr Regular Correspondent.
Merchant Flaherty is still wearing an
8-pound smile over the arrival of a fine
baby girl last week.
Many are running short of feed for
their stock and some are entirely out.
Nearly every local freight train from
The Dalles has a shipment of baled hay
aboard for some of our people.
F. J. Creed, our strawberry king, ex
pects very large returns from the coming
season's crop. Mr. Creed has demon
strated that Mosier can grow berries
equally early, and as good in every re
spect as the famous Hood -River berry
which command such large prices at the
first of the season.
The snow has nearly all gone. The
outlook for the fruit crop is very flatter
ing and those who have orchards in
bearing rejoice exceedingly. "The immi
grant who has been here long enough to
have young orchards planted, is happy
in the belief that the snow fall will
stimulate the trees into a lively growth.
In fact about the only one whom the
heavy fall of snow did not help is the
last year's immigrant, who has been play
ing freeze-out all winter in a box house.
However, those who are opening up
fruit farms have shed their winter
whiskers and with axe and mattock are
making way with the native tree, to "be
replaced by the apple, prune and peach,
which give a revenue, for the space they
occupy and which never tail in this sec
tion. The supreme court of Mosier convened
at the new school house on the 6th inst.,
to try one of onr citizens for an assault
with his deadly fist upon one, Mr,
for not shutting up his mouth' when
requested to do so. The ' defendant
was arrested, duly arraigned and asked
for a change of venue on the ground
that the court was prejudiced. Ihe
clerk, Mr. , said there was no
change of "avenue" from that court, and
advised the prisoner to plead guilty and
assured him that the court would make
the penalty as light as possible under
the statutes, which would be two years
in the pen. and $500 fine, together with
the costs of the court. The court then
took a recess until "day after tomorrow
at 2 o'clock." Although the time was
rather indefinite, it probably did arrive,
for on the 10th inst. the prisoner was
again arrested and arraigned before the
court. The counsel for the defense in
sisted on having the case sent to the
nearest justice, Hood River. The court
said there were not many men living at
Hood River, and they might be all
dead, and decided to send the case to
The Dalles, where the prosecuting wit
ness had more friends. This reason, if
not brilliant, surely has the simplicity
that is supposed to go with honesty.
The case was finally put off until the
snow goes ofT,:and crime stalks at large
unchallenged in Mosier. Sub.
Wbaleback Building; on the Pacific.
A large force of men are at work on
the new whaleback steamer Everett,
building at Everett, Washington. The
contract has already . been let to the
Frontier Iron Works, of Detroit, Mich.,
for the construction of the engines for
the Everett. They will develop between
five and six thousand horse power. The
Everett is to be a passenger and freight
vessel, combined. Sixty staterooms
will be put in on the upper deck for the
accommodation of passengers. It has
not been decided yet what route the
Everett will be put on, but it is probable
that she will be put on the regular run
between Everett and San Francisco.
She is being built large enough so she
can make the run to Japan or ' China,
her tonnage being 4,600.

-A Temporary Bmbarrassaaent.
Baker Democrat
The . stringency in the lumber market
that has so long prevailed, together with
dull times generally, has forced the
Baker City Consolidated Lumber Com
pany into temporary liquidation. The
fact was made known yesterday and
caused quite a ripple of excitement in
business circles. : An assignment will
take place today, but who will be selected
as the assignee is not yet known. The
principal creditors of the concern are
the two banks of this city. " It is stated
that the liabilities will foot up near $25,
000 with assets much more than that
amount, and when once available credit
ors will get their claims paid in full.
. ( Tried to Wreck at Car.
Aatorian.
A dastardly attempt was made last
night to wreck the 8:30 electric car near
the old tannery. R. B. Smart was driv
ing at a fair pace with several passen
gers inside, when he got on to the long
trestle. Halfway over it an iron rail,
13 feet long, was stretched across the
track and the car smashed into it with
a jerk, which sent the two front wheels
completely off the track and almost pre
cipitated the Car into the river below.
The authorities are confident' that they
know who the perpetrators are, and
summary steps will be taken to ' appre
hend and punish them.
