Andrew Kellar has eottage to rent tf Portland people got Bull Run water for a New Year's present, but very for tunately they did not get in in their stockings. There will be service in the Lutheran chapel on Ninth street next Snnday at 10:30 a. m., Sunday school at 2 o'clock p. in. A cordial welcome to everyone. Regular meeting of the Um-zoo-ee's has been postponed until next week We don't like to call people in whist clubs hard names, but that's the way they gave it to us. The Antelope Herald gays that Mitch ell's new county embraces. 33 sections of "Wasco county among them the ranch of Hon. Robt. Mays. Our contemporary is mistaken the Mays property alluded to is in Crook county. ' The snow has some disagreeable feat uxes, but the rainfall, so far, has been considerable under the average and tho snow is needed. It will be beneficial to the wheat crop, and will lav ud abun dant moisture for next spring s grass. Outside of a few, a very few sleighs, the streets are deserted. As the snow gets beaten down and packed a livelier appearance will be presented, but it is so deep that no one cares to be the fellow to do the road making. Some of our business men had their collecting done yesterday, but most of them put it off until today. (, The latter course evidenced wisdom as the side walks are in niuch- betteT condition, and besides the fellows who have the paying to do are much better natured. . . ' Mr. N. Harris, having .leased the rooms formerly occupied as a drug store, adjoining his store, the partitions are being taken out, so that the whole cor ner up to Hertz' store will be occupied by him. In order to make room for his . immensenew stock he is now selling off nis entire lot 01 goods at t tie very lowest prices. FOR SALE BY DT: A CL7 l jurvoi When Mr. Tibbets left his sleigh in front of the express office at noon today, he did not think that it stood very con venient to the sidewalk, and conse quently to the roof thereof. When he came back after his noontide meal, he found hia sleigh so badiy smothered that its tongue was sticking, out nine feet, and then only reached through the euberabundant mass of snow that had been shoveled off the roof into it. The big rotary snow plow started up from Portland yesterday morning, but for some reason did not get here. The local passenger which was behind it was abandoned and No 1 which arrived here early, lay here all day. Since writing the above the rotary got here in a damaged condition last night, and was temporarily repaired at the shops, leav ing for Portland this morning ahead of No. 1. ne city council last night granted a franchise to T. J. Seufert and J. W. Condon to build and operate a telephone line within the city limits. The gentle men were interviewed this morning by a Chronicle reporter, and stated thaff four-roomrwork would be begun as soon asthe weather would permit. They further stated that the line would be first-class in everv respect, and that it would be operated day and night. The suurise thi3 morning was beauti ful. The first rays touched the summits ot tne mountains acroes tne river ana the enow gleamed and glistened as if the whole mountain range was made of mother-of-pea.l. Off to the west at the same- time an immense rainbow, its colors perfect, sent its Eighty arch al- most to the zenith, while the grand old Columbia swept majestically beneath it, bearing its burden of ice down to the sounding sea. The steamer Regulator made a trip down, the river a short distance this afternoon just to see how things looked The river was found to be open, though considerable ice was running. In conse quence she will leave her wharf at the regular horfr, 7 o'clock, tomorrow morn ing "for Cascade Locks. If the Dalles City can get through the ice the boats will connect, but those desiring to go to points beyond the Locks will have to take their chances on getting down as best they can. A telegram at 3 o'clock states that the river is jammed solid 1 with ice as far down as can be seen from Bonneville. Advertised Letters.

The snow at Heppner is only about four inches m depth, from which we judge the storm spent most of its force on the middle Columbia. Yesterday was one of the worst days ever known in that section from the Cascades to Rooster Rock. A genuine hurricane swept from the mountains down across that section of the river, driving the snow in blinding clouds before it, until t could find refuge in the protected places. The railroad cuts were soon filled, in some places the snow being drifted fifteen or twenty feet deep. The steamer Dalles City, for the first time on record, met her match, and was un able to make headway against the gale, so returned to Portland. At Portland chaos reigns this morn ing. On a foot or more or snow yester day fell a heavy and persistent down pour of sleet. All Etreet car lines were blocked completely, and : by night tele graph and telephone communication was completely stopped, the lines being down in everv direction. The sleet ex tended east as far as Troutdale, the tele graph lines being down from that point to Portland, but are all right this side of there. At the Cascade Locks the snow fell Bteadily all day and night, and this morning at 8 o'clock it was six feet on the level and still falling. At Bonne ville the river is closed with ice. The storm is remarkable for its sever ity and the narrow limits in which its full fury have been expended. Thousands of Ducks In the Bay Near Klamath Falls. The Klamath Falls, Southern Oregon, Express, relates this wonderful story : "It will be a difficalt matter, perhaps, for those who not cognizant of the abundance of game and fish in this county, to belieye the following tacts, but they can be vouched for by nearly every resident of Klamath Falls. Last week the bay adjoining town was frozen over, excepting in the main channel of the river. The ducks that have been frequenting the upper lake and streams hereabouts congregated in the stream below the bridge and fairly blackened the waters. In an area of not more than sixty acres there were from 10,000 to 20,000 wild fowl. They remained for several days where they were unmolest ed. A sight of that kind would send the average eastern sportsman crazy. Charles Bowker last Saturday cut several holes through he ice at the up per end of the river, and in a few hoars caught 150 pounds of rainbow trout, one fish weighing seventeen pounds. ' Claud Daggett and a young friend also caught thirty-seven fine trout, averaging three pounds in weight, in two hours fishing. These trout, that would be snapped up in a city at 15 cents per pound, are hard to dispose of here, owing to their abund ance. The fish and game laws prohibit their shipment outside of the state. , Spring Shapes of . Derby and Fedora. JOHN "PjB. A.
