"Who is tbe belle tonight?'! asked she, ' As they stood on the ball-room floor; Be looks around the room to see, , . - And she speaks to him no more. Pruning is now in order. ..

The granite to be used in the locks will be eat at the contractors, quarries, Bocklyn, Calif. - . "Knnnem & Kouem" is the title of a prospective real estate firm to do busi ness down the river. The roads and the streets in tbe city are drying fast under the influence of the chinook winds and warm sun. After tomorrow the D. P. and A. N. Co.'b steamers will run on their regular advertised schedule between this city and Portland. The "only newspaper published in Multnomah county outside of Portland" presents another claim for popularity by publishing a lot of school children's essays. . ' ; The old chestnut about gold being found in a chicken's crop is again revived. The original story was founded in a , dream of a newspaper fakir some 6,000 years ago. Notices are posted for a meeting of school directors the first Mondav of March. One director and one school clerk will be elected, and a tax levy will be ordered. . ' Mr. C. W. Emerson, of 16-Mile, is in tbe city, and informs us he has been plowing and Bowing spring grain during the week, and the ground is ia fair con dition in his section. - . n I. J. Norman purchased of F. W. L. Skibbe, a prir of thoroughbred Lang shams yesterday, which are very pretty fowls. The price paid was $5, and Mr. Skibbe says he got a Brahma "two feet high" to boot. The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. S. Collins vs. XL Herbring came to a terv mi nation yesterday afternoon, the jury rendering a verdict in favor of the plaint' iff.' Mr. Herbring considers his defeat as a ait accompli and is now more than ever convinced that be has to stick to bis old rule and motto to sell - dry ' goods cheap and for cash only. little time is left lor Oregon ia make an exhibit, but if that little is profitably employed, the- exhibit may be made creditable. Wasco county will be. looked, by the whole state, to take a prominent place in this and there ehonld be no dallying on the part ot our citizens in JUST ARRIVED ! Window. Pas & Iay5. the matter. Do not wait for some one else to start the ball rolling, but "pitch in." Chrisman Bros, delivery team in dulged in a lively spin this morning, running up into the foothills back of Ward's stable. It was strange that the wagon was not overturned, for their route included places where there was hardly more than room enough for a bicycle. They stopped of their own ac cord after reaching a point where they could not go ahead. The steamer Regulator will leave her dock at tbe foot of Court street in the morning at 7 o'clock sharp, for the Cas cades, and will connect with the Dalles City for Portland, as the Regulator will return in the evening. A fine , oppor tunity is offered to those who would like to take in the scenery along the Colum bia at this season of the year. The round trip fare is $1.50. The parties engaged in killing deer about the forks of .'the river are doing so deliberately,- knowing it to be against the law. We give them notice that when tbe next grand jury meets every one of them against whom the evidence can be procured will be prosecuted. The deer are poor, unfit for food, and on Recount of the deep snow are helpless. Jfheir killing is wanton cruelty and will no doubt be punished as it should bv tbe guilty ones being sent to jail for from six months to a year. Glacier. The Bonlta. The wrecked steamer Bonita. which was carried down the Columbia from Bridal Veil by the ice last week, was se cured a few miles below that point and safely moored to the bank, where she will remain for the present. Tbe Ockla bama. which went out to save the de relict, was caught in the ice, and tbe Reed had to go to her rescue.' In the meantime tbe Bonita drifted in shore, and some farmers in that vicinity put a line to her and hauled her in. The wreck will eventually be brought to Portland and the upper works removed. Tbe engines, boiler and smoke stack ere brought down soon after the wreck J knd stowed away in the boneyard.' Hungry Coyotes. The Grant county News says: Coyotes on Grant county's southern border are Buffering for food. Jack rabbits outrun them and escape over the crusted enow ; rabbits remain - on top while the wolves break through and howl. The city of Burna, when paid a flviiiz visit bv the News man last week was wallowing in several inches of snow, And was dull, from a business standpoint. City gov ernment, however, haa aided the place in making numerous improvements, and when spring opens no in that sec tion the metropolis of Henry valley bids fair to outstrip any inland town in com mercial importance. Kemarkablo, Indeed. We published recently the remarkable literary announcement of an edition of the Encyclopedia Britannic, for $20.00, tbe genuine, illustrated, Urge type, cloth bound work.

A Case Deserving of Sympathy and Assistance. . , "Uncle Sam id rich enough to give us all a farm," but to -many homesteaders the bleeping is n dubious one, and too often a deserving man, overcome with the burden of supporting familv, at the same time expending bis energies in de veloping hia place, fencing, clearing and plowing virgin kind, sowing, tending, reaping littleor nothing the first harvest, money constantly outgoing, credit ex hausted, nothing coming in, too often the burden proves greater than lie cau bear, and he succumbs to a dire fate that in the beginning promised - so much. Bright prospects of a happy home, shaded with beautiful trees, well-filled barns, stock grazing on the hillsides, children swinging in the orchard, all fade as a dream before the present reality that be has failed, has devoted his best energies to naught, poorer than when he began I Last fall a family consisting . of hus band, wife and child, Custer, by name, came froun Astoria, and settled on upper Mill Creek, about nine ' miles. distant from The Dalles., . When the family ar rived here they were spoken to by Mr. Fisher. Asked by him where they would stop he was told that he did not know, that he was destitute of means. Mr. Fisher invited them to his house, where they stopped previous to moving to their homestead. ' Nothing was heard of them, until in midwinter, when the cold and snow was at the height of its fury, Mr. Custer - ar rived in town, his feet being clothed only in gunnysacks, and appealed for aid to Judge Blakeley. His tale was pitiful"." His family were destitute, and for want of sufficient food, his wife and child had first become poor, then weak, and were now actually starving. Im mediate help was given and fer several weeks and up. to the present time, but not perhaps sufficient. Tbe poor woman is now in deplorable condition. She is sick from tbe treatment he has under gone, and connot recuperate until she is upplied with proper food and medicine. Custer bas been unable to find work here, but states a willingness to do any thing. Here is a case deserving of aid, and no doubt our kind-hearted people will Bee to it that the family will have no further need of the necessities of life. The Dalles people are noted for their charity. DIED. Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to " wither at the north wind's breath : Bnt thou hast all, all, seasons for thine own, on i ucain. - . Died, at 8-Mile, Feb. 18th, 1893, of la grippe, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Furgeson, aged 13 days. VOED OF COMFORT. As with saddened hearts we gather. Round the form of one so dear; ' Rudely taken from our circle, What has left our hearts to cheer. Kindly words in vain are spoken, Mingled tears assuage not grief : Lovely flowers and sweetest musio ' To our hearts bring no relief. Far we see our loved one lying Silent in death's cold embrace; And where 'ere we look with sadness. We behold his vacant place. In our hearts one vital question. Which with words we dare not frame; - On it all our hopes are centered, Bhall we ever meet again? Who can answer this great question. Only one, our heart replies; He who burst death's bands in sunder. He who reigns above the skies. From the book by God inspired. Come these words our hearts to cheer; Marvel not, the hour Cometh, When the dead shall all appear. For our Lord will come In triumph, And the trump of Ood proclaim Liberty for all e rtb'a captives, Life for those whom death hss slain. Then the dead in Christ 'tis written, Bhall be raised no more to die: And with those wbo have longer waited, Meet their Baviour in the sky. Pledge of God, a resurrection,' This alone our hearts can cheer; And we boll with joy the tidings, That the day is almost here. By J M. Baitr. Mignonettsi Festivities. The Mignonette club was not coin pletely demoralised by the flash.. light photo of a week ago last evening, for sufficient number had recovered to come forth last evening, when the time for the weekly meeting come around and pay their addresses to Terpsichore with all the ardor of the former meetings. A very pleasant evening was passed by those present. . . . Degenerated. . To one who does not occupy a judicial position" it would seem to be good com mon sense "to make the punishment fit the. crime" in the case of :those selling liquor to Indians, by . fining.' them at least enough to pay the costs of their arrest. This however is not the opinion of bia honor, Judge Deady, who limits the fine to $10, while the expense of the arrest will average ten times that sum Tbe ' whole business, says tbe Glacier, bas degenerated into a scheme to make fees for the deputy U. S. marshal Messrs. Saltmarsh & Co. will ship to night, one' car load of fat cattle brought in by Mr. Gilpin, and five care of mut ton sheep, bought by Mr. A. R. Thomp son of this city.
