- . "The river will never rise as high as
it used to," said Colonel Sinnott some
what sadly, .while in a reminiscent
mood yesterday. He had just been
reading the Oregonian, where It spoke
of snows rapidly melting in the mount
ains. "Why not?" respectfully in
quired a by-stander. "There ain't' the
fish there used to be thirty ' years ago.
You see the river used to be so cro wd
ed " but his listener had fled.
Very Discouraging.
Monday and Tuesday Snow and
colder.
This frigid information about the
weather at The Dalles comes from Port
land by. wire from that very , valuable
adjunct to modern civilization the 17.
S. weather bureau. Just why they de
sire to send cold chills down our back
now that the first beautiful day of spring
has come and. we are reveling in the
warm pure air of the season, we are at a
loss to imagine. But however much we
are inclined to credit this Portland
branch ot the bureau for erudition and
skillful prophecy, we are fortunately in a
position to judge better for onrselves,
and since it neither snows nor is colder,
we have much to hope for tomorrow',
reasoning from analogy. '
Th Movement Is Growing:.
A petition was circulated in the Ante
lope section last week and signed by
everybody, praying that the county
court of Wasco county extend the time
at which state and county taxes will be
come delinquent until June 1st, instead
of April 1st. This is what Thk Chroni
cle suggested a week ago, and we are
gratified that .the suggestion is being
acted upon. Wasco county's court
would not be alone if he chose to extend
the time, as requested. The county
court of Grant county has extended the
time for payment of taxes until July 1st.
The News predicts that by. that time the
wool situation will be in better shape
and several hundred thousand dollars
added to the cash assets of the people
of Grant county. '

Notwithstanding the bad weather that
Mr. Salinger has had to contend with,
he has opened up fqor acres of land ad
joining his large field, the past winter.
He's had to rustle to do it, but he, and
the boys too, for that matter, are built
on that plan from the ground up.
. Gentle Annie and spring time are
both here, but spring herself, billed by
Mr. Ayer for March 1st, has failed to
arrive. Latkr She's arrove, ushered
in by a three-days shower, which would
have washed away our pig pen, bad we
purchased a pig last , fall and put the
pen where we thought of.
' We would' t pretend to say how much
land the Lee Evans force has grubbed
out the past fall and. winter, but when
he wages war against the tap root some
thing's got to come, and it is always the
grab. Mr. Evans is getting his land
in . such shape that he will not have
much more wprk of this kind to contend
with. However, we can supply him
with a job. -
Rev. Mr. Aleridge Is developing into
a bull-whacker of no small merit. He
has. purchased a pair of steers from Mr.
Salinger, for which, if he .tackles with
the same unrelenting style that he
tackles the sinner when expounding the
Scriptures, we would say there is no es
cape. . Come under the yoke, -buck ah 1
or suffer yourself to be cut up into round
steak with a bull whip.
. Text: "Can a man raise figs. from
thistles?" Nope, can't be done. If you
want -to raise figs you must plant a fig
tree. The same way with applea and
pears and prunes and peaches. If 'you
want to raise a ' pumpkin pie next
Thanksgiving, you must -plant pumpkin
seed ; if you want to eat carrots next
winter, plant carrot seed ; the same way
with potatoes, onions, turnips, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, pork, beans and hard-tack.
My good neighbor, there , is no reason
why we should not live on the top of
the heap next -winter, if we- raise the
heap to live on. The old earth haB had
a.- thorough soaking the past "winter.
Let us profit thereby, . and when the
time comes throw into her bosom the
tiny little seed germlets, which will
germinate under the tender influence of
the sun and develop into a variety veg
etable garden the coming fall. Raise
plenty of everything this year, good
people. Raise enough so we may bor
row of you the coming winter, and may
the blessings of heaven be with you and
yours, now and -forever, 'world without
end. Amen. . Sub. .
ENDERSBY. ' -
Endersby will soon have its quota of
candidates for the coming election.
We were glad to learn that Geo. Drake,
who has been quite sick at The Dalles,
ia improving and will soon return home.
Live stock is in good condition, and
stockmen are looking for a prosperous
season, as the outlook for grass. is very
encouraging.
The constant and incessant raining of
the last few days has raised 8-Mile so
high as to overflow its banks and in
many places it is doing serious damage
to the rich meadow lands. -
It looks like we are . going .to have
winter all summer. Of course this ia
one of the results of - the last election as
Grover and the cuckoo democrats are
Improving their time while it lasts. .
Elder Bonney, of Wamic, delivered an
eloquent and highly beneficial sermon
on the different denominations of
churches at the schoolhouse Thursday

. Mud, slush and snow is the menu for
this backward spring.
Mr. J. B. Havely and others are feed
ing a number of steers for the market.
The county roads . are in a deplorable
condition, resulting from the excessive
precipitation of the past winter and
spring. . '
There will be a large acreage of grain
sown this spring, the farmers having a
large area of summer fallow and fall
plowing ready for seeding.
We . are pleased to see The Cheoni
clk favor the initiative and . referen
dum and we hope the county republican
convention will also, favor- it unani
mously. . The republican party has
always been progressiva and we would
like to see them give the people a chance
to give them a great victory in June and
we believe the majority of the. party
favor the initiative and referendum, and
many who are not republicans would
vote our ticket, if they endorsed it in
their platform. '
"Old Settler," of Wapinitia, should
not roast the sheepmen so hard, it is bad
policy for a sick cur to bite one that is
down. They have been paying their
herders 50 per cent more wages than we
have been paying our hired hands. We
five in a sheep country, and should the
Wilson bill become a law, the sheep
men will die a natural death. He will
find it then much easier to live a Christ
ian and save us the dreadful meeting of
each. .other in Erebus.
Salt on Carpets.
About sixteen times a year some one
hobs up and says carpets sprinkled with
salt in sweeping will retain their colors.
Just you try it if you want to ruin your
carpets. Every damp day the salt will
moisten and stand all over the carpet
like dew and smell like the mischief,
and it is simply impossible to sweep the
salt all out of it. '
TWBNTI AND FORTY.
Had they, twenty years ago,
Met as they have met today
All these years of pain and woe
Had not been. .Ah! who can say!
Would the passion, all aflame .
That their will-power drove away, .
Lest their love reproach became
Be still alight? Ah? who can lay?
. He is bald and she is fat, '
And years have plowed a wrinkled wav;
If long ago they'd been like that,
Would they have loved 7 Ah! who can
say?
