The ground is covered with enow for ' the depth ot a foot between Hood River and Troutdale. Tliore were three inches of snow in Mosier 'his morning which increased to six at 1 o'clock. The beautiful concealed the ground completely during the noon honr today and baa been falling at a lively rate since. Mr. H. Glenn showed us a nice lot of picture frames that for beauty and ex cellence surpasses anything in that litre ever brought to this city. It is reported Mt. Jefferson is in a utate of errupaon in a small way. These reports have become stereotyped as they are more than forty years old. 1 The county commissioners will meet Monday to make the levy for this year. There is a disposition to make it as light as possible, compatible with the county debt, which is quite large. A sister of Mrs. Jeff Mosier, living in Portland, who has been visiting her for a few weeks, lost her little one-year old boy by illness, and he was buried in the Mosier cemetery at 3 o'clock yester day. The Oregonian says that a man named Dooley of The Dalles bought a bill of goods in Portland under false pretenses. There never was a man named Dooley living in The Dalles. Perhaps Dallas is meant. The total number of mutton sheep shipped from the stockyards of R. E. Saltmarshe & Co., of this city, to Trout dale, Portland, Sound points and Victoria for the month ending January 19th, 1894, was 4,235 head. - The question has been asked us, why do not the water commissioners submit a' report once in a while, so that the public would know what becomes of the money collected. The Chronicle be lieves that the qestion is pertinent, and suggests that the board make either a semi-annual or annual report. An exchange tells the Btory of a boy who was sent to the market with a sack of roasting ears, and after lingering about town all day came home without selling them. When the mother asked him why he did not sell the corn he said that no one had asked him what he had in his sack. There are some merchants like that little boy. They have plenty of goods for Bale, but they fail to tell what they have in their sack. . If you expect to sell goods in this day and age of the world, you must open your stock in trade and invite customers by adver tising. The Storm. A snow storm of some magnitude be gan at this place at about 8 o'clock this morning on a southwest wind, and at this writing (3. o'clock) continues un abated. The wind has shifted to the northeast, although the barometer has fallen to 29.63 and falling on a temper ature of 34 degrees. West of this city at Hood River the snow is sixteen inches deep and still west of that place the storm seems to be more central. At The Dalles the snow has only reached about two inches in depth. In Walla Walla the reports say but little snow has fallen, but a cold east wind is blowing with some velocity and a cold wave ia predicted, which may be ex pected to reach the coast. Predictions . point to a continued storm with cold. ook'sCottraRoot COMPOUND. 'A recent discovery by an old physician. SuceatfuZlv sued monthly by thousand of 'Iodic.

Rine A SAD DEATH. A. Swede Woman Succumbs to posare on Pleasant Hldg-e. Ex- But few cases calling for charity have come up before the county judge this year, but occasionally one that appeals strongly to the sympathies is found. Such a one is that of Mrs. Ella Johnson, a Swede woman, who died last week on Pleasant Ridge. She has three boys, aged respectively 11, 9, and 7, and a little girl of 5 years. . Neither the mother nor the children have worn a bit of shoe leather this winter, and they have went out in all the cold weather and snow-covered ground with bare feet. They were barely able to procure suffi cient food for their use, and could not purchase any clothing. Mre. Johnson has been depending on a email income in the manner of interest from some property in the old country, but lately this stipend has failed to arrive, through the carelessness or chicanery of the guardian. She' has been a stout, hearty woman all her life, as all her country women are of the working class, and has never been eick a day. The ex posure of the winter has been too much for her, however, and she was taken sick suddenly with la grippe and died within two days. Neighbors ar rived while she was still living, but too late to help her, and when she died the case was reported to the county judge. Mr. Blakeley sent out a coffin last Sun day for the mother and shoes for the children, and their further wants will be properly attended to. It is unfortunate that this human misery was not brought to light before it was too late, but its recital now may be the means of saving the life of some other nnfortunate who is virtually hid den from the world. There is charity and plenty of it on all hands, wherever needed, and no such suffering as has been endured by the Johnson family should be permitted to exist for a day. Before the Recorder. A trial before the recorder is an event which must be seen to be appreciated, and always draws a crowd of interested spectators. One of the most amusing of recent trials was that of Aleck Hngenine vs. Joseph Wodica last evening for assault. Neither was represented by counsel, and as Hugenine can hardly make himself understood, is a little deaf, and prone to become excited, the testi mony was most laughable. The defend ant, as counsel for himself, was allowed to question Hugenine. Wodica tried to make Hugenine admit that he raised his cane to strike him. Hugenine called him a liar, and shook his fist at the de fendant, who was laughing at him most of the time. Hugenine tried to establish the fact that. Wodica bad struck him in the face several times without any prov ocation, but the evidence really shown was that he had raised his cane in a threatening manner, and failed to prove that Hngenine had struck him at all, but which was probably a fact neverthe less. But a certain witness was In wait ing for Mr. Hugenine of which great things were expected. It was his most important witness, and he was deter mined to wait for him. After about an honr and a half he was finally ushered in by the marshal. "Mr. Bunch, what dq you know about this alleged assault?" was asked by the recorder. "Nothing, your honor, I was not out last night- I stayed at home all even ing." "Didn't Wodica say he was going to lick me?" shrieked the excited plaintiff, shaking his finger at him. "Oh, perhaps he did several months ago, but I paid no particular attention to it." "Well," eaid the court, I must dis charge the plaintiff. The testimony shows that If there has been any assault committed, it was by the plaintiff him self." Hugenine thanked the court for his trouble, apparently not realizing that his defeat was total, and all walked out in perfect good humor. Advertised Letters.

To All Whom It May Concern: By virtue of an order of the common council of Dalles City, made and en tered on the 12th day of December, 1893, notice is hereby given that said city council is about to proceed and order and construct a sewer of 8-inch terra cotta pipe on Lincoln street, commenc ing at the intersection of ' Lincoln and Fourth street, on the south side of Fourth street, and continuing thence northerly along the center of said Lin coln street to. low water mark of Mill creek, and that the cost for said sewer will be assessed against the property di rectly benefited thereby, aa by the charter provided.

Another Idol Shattered. Me. F. H. Rowe has failed to get a lease from the Union Pacific company of a plot of ground near the mouth of Mill Creek for saw mill purposes and ia consequently not able to build his mill at this point, as he wished to do. The company would not grant him a lease for any time whatsoever. Mr. Rowe will do the next best thing and locate the mill twelve miles np the Klickitat in Washington, so as to be in the midst of a region of valuable pine and fir timber. This body of timber is eaid to be the finest quality on the Pacific coast north of California and surpasses even that of Southern Oregon. A shipment of machinery will be made early in the week, and construction of the mill com menced at once. The Dalles will be Mr. Rowe's base of supplies. Dancing; Party. Mias Jeannette Williams entertained a number of friends at a dancing party given in honor of her guest, Misa Good hue, last evening at Fraternity hall. The programmes were very unique, and the music by Birgfeld's orchestra the best that haa been danced to this win ter. Altogether the party, which was announced aa impromptu, could, not have been more successful, as the guests unanimously declare. Among those pres ent were : Mr and Mrs Chas Hilton, Mr and Mrs F L Houghton, Mr. and Mrs G C Blakeley, Mrs M French, Misses C Goodhue, Jeannette, Annie and Pearl.

Tie sad to feel that we are not appre ciated. It has a sting akin to that of base ingratitude. The editor of the Jacksonville Times wanted a rich federal plum. A common merchant - from Heppner was preferred to the editor. Last Thursday the Times had this melancholy paragraph in its editorial columna: .; The editorial fraternity ia not being recognized to -any appreciable extent by the president in the distribution of offices. Every aspirant in that class in Oregon has been turned down, so far. It is said to be the same thing every where ; and yet where would any party be at If it were not for the newspapers who disseminate and battle for its prin ciples. The Pacific's Level Floor. Hanging in a newspaper office in Hawaii ia the chart of the survey made by the "Thetis" of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, with reference to laying a cable from Hawaii to the California coast. The ocean bed is very level "so level," as one of the officers remarked, "that if on dry land, a railroad train could run over a stretch of 500 miles of the bed at a speed of 60 miles an hour without the grade being altered any where." PERSONAL MENTION. Rev. M. C. Aldridge of Mosier is in the city today. Mr. C. S. Miller, of the Monumental Mine, is in the city. Mr. Frank Morrison of the Portland Dispatch is in the city on business. Mr. J. C. Baldwin and son Eddie, of Tekoa is in the city visiting the family. Mr. Harvey Smith of Grass Valley is in the city and called &t Ths Chronicle office.

P. railway, which was launched last week. She ia built upon the linea of the best seagoing steamships with twin screws, four bladed and 13 feet in diameter.

She has four decks, lower, main, upper and hurricane decks. Upon the lower deck forward are the immigrant quarters with room for 350 people, then come three water tight compartments for the 28 boilers. These compartments are followed aft by the engine space, which will contain two quadruple ex pansion engines. Around the boiler space are the coal bunkers. The bag gage space ia just beyond the engine room. The entire crew of the boat will number 150 people. The electric light ing plant is on the lower deck also. It is aft of the immigrants'- quarters and will furnish power for the 1,300 lighta which are more than are used by any steamer afloat. ' Real Estate. . May Ross, Portland, to Wm.

Business . for the past week contincea stagnant and really lifeless. Stocks' of goods are diminish ing and assortments are well broken np. The grocery and provision trade con tinues steady with no perceptible change in prices. Produce ia in good supply and ia quite sufficient to meet all de mands. Prices remain steady. Egg8 at present are plentiful on last week's' quotation. Portland markets quote eggs 17 cents per dozen. The poultry market ia very quiet on limited offerings. Deliveries of fruit are less frequent on a quiet market and indications point to a slight advance in the near future for good keepers. There is nothing doing in the wheat market. There haa been " a steady shrinkage in values all the season. Reported quotations for No. 2 are 38 eta. and 40 cts. for No. 1. Shipping wheat price milling may be quoted a shade higher. The Prayers of Indians. Prayers are an important part of sav age custom. The Society islanders prayed before almost every act of their lives. In Guinea a dally prayer is: "O God, help us; we do not know whether we shall live tomorrow; we are in Thy hand." A Bushman says: "O Cahu, give us food; both hands fulL" Another tribe: "Give me to day rice and yams, gold and aggry beads, slaves, riches and health; make me active and strong." But a savage in his prayers thinks neither of moral ity nor of a future state. Among the Cherokees, Aztecs, Mayas and Peru vians, ''the rite of baptism was of immemorial antiquity."
