Chrisman Bros, delivery team in

running up into the foothills back of

about the forks of .'the river are doing so

The deer are poor, unfit for food, and on
Recount of the deep snow are helpless.

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

Buffering for food. Jack rabbits outrun

TRIALS OF HOMESTEADERS.
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,

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.

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
