JANUARY JOTTINGS.
Minor Events Which Pertain to City
and Country.
Wild strawberry blossoms are reported
on the hillsides near Portland.
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.

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.

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

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.

- The "Northwest."
.The finest passenger boat ever built
on the great lakes is the "Northwest,"
to run in connection with the U. 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.
Her engines are 7,000 horse power, and a
speed of 20. milea an honr ia promised.'
The total length of the Northwest over
all ia 383 feet with 44 readth and 26
depth. 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. '

THE MARKETS.
Fbiday, Jan. "19. 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."
Snow has already fallen to such depth
as to necessitate feeding sheep.
