The steamer Regulator will leave to
morrow morning on her regular time,
and will make connection with the
steamer Dalles City for Portland. The
lower river is open and the through trip
will be made.
The weather according to Mr. Pague,
will be colder tomorrow, with snow.
This may be all right for .Eastern Ore

we fancy that it is more likely to be
rain than snow.
The rotary got through to Bridal Veil
shortly after noon today. This is beyond
the worst of the snow, and the train is
probably now in Portland. It is ex
pected that a train will be worked
through tonight nearly on time.

Last night the dispatcher's office of
O. R. & N. was moved out to Trutdale
from Portland and the first news from
that village received for sometime was
sent through on the wires. That was
the nearest point to Portland at which
the telegraph lines were in working con
dition. There had been about fifteen
inches of snow, and Thursday afternoon
and night a tremendous fall of sleet
wrought destruction on all sides. The
street cars are tied up, the streets block
aded, telephone, electric, telegraph and
trolley wires are down all over the city,
which is in darkness, not an electric
light burning. It will require practi
cally a new system of wires for all of
these plants as the down wires have to
be cut and put out of the way at once.
The electric cars to Oregon Citv, Van
couver and the city suburbs are all
abandoned, and the telegraph lines are
down in all directions from Portland for
a distance of twenty miles. Over this
same area the fruit trees are about
ruined, being broken down by the weight
of the sleet. The damage from this
source is immense, but cannot be esti
mated until the snow disappears.
From Bonneville to Trontdale the O.
R. & N. is blockaded, A terrific wind
storm swept across from the Cape Horn
country and at Latourelle the snow
drifted on the track to the depth of 30
feet. At the Cascades there is about 7
feet of snow on the level, gradually de
creasing from that to the east, to 3 feet
here and one at Arlington.
The rotary snow plow from La Grande
was Bent for ' and arrived here this
morning.
It was expected that No. 1 could be
worked through to Trontdale and possi
bly Portland sometime tonight.
The river is frozen solid at Bonneville,
and the boats sent out by the O. R. & N,
to attempt to reach Bonneville yesterday,
could not get beyond Vancouver, the
river being blocked at that point.
The Regulator left oh regulalar time
this morning, and will probably find her
way to the Locks, but it seems assured
that the Dalles City will not meeet her,
It is barely possible the ice gorges of the
lower river may have moved out as the
weather is not cold, but there is not
much hope of it.
The O. R. x N. expects to get a train
through from Portland tomorrow, but
nothing can be done until the wind lets'
up at Latourelle, as the drifts fill up in
a few minutes after the rotary has forced
its way through them.

bers of the order and a few invited
friends. An interesting musical and
literary program was rendered, the feat
ures of which were a piano duet by the
Misses Nickelsen, piano and violin by
Miss Ruch and H. A. Yorke, which was
heartily encored, and a quartette ren
dered by Mrs. B. S. Huntington, Mrs.
Chas. Cprson and Messrs. Balie Johnson

pronounced by those who heard it, a

Dr. Doane, after which all were invited
to the room down stairs, adjoining N.
Harris' store, where a splendid supper
was served by A. Keller. About 100
persons were present.
Yesterday about noon Will Condon,
who had been shoveling snow from the
sidewalks in front of his residence in
desultory sort of a way for just long
enough to get an idea how big the con
tract was, and also to begin to think
that it was real wicked of him to do that
work and deprive some needy person of
the profits of the job, was approached
by a brawny, broad-shouldered man,
who struck him for the job.
How much do you want," said Will,
'to ciean the whole walk?" "I will
work for four bits an hour," said the
man. "That's too much, but I'll give
you thirty cents . an hour," was the re
ply. And then they argued: "Won't
work for that." "Very well, I will pay
no more." "It isn't enough." "Its all
I will give." And bo it went, neither
labor nor capital conceding the point,
until finally tbe man said: "Well, I
need the work, what will you give me to
doit all?" Will sized that length of
the walk up, made a mental calculation
as tohow long it had taken to clear the
little spot he had gotten away with, and
casting a furtive glance out of the corner
of his left eye, said : "I'll give you $2
for the job."
The man walked the whole length of
the walk, had the work all pointed out
so that there could be no dispute, and
with a sigh remarked:. "Well, it ain't
enough ; but I need the money and
I'll take it." "Sail in," said Will,
passing over the snow shovel, and
then he went into the bouse, got into his
slippers and as he warmed his feet and
settled down to solid comfort with The
Chronicle before him? he felt the solid
pleasure of home surroundings, and
commiserated the other fellow who was
filling his place behind the snow shovel.
Directly he saw a mun with a snow
shovel on his shoulder coming to the
door, and found his man had completed
the work. He could scarcely believe his
eyes, but realizing the work was finished
he stepped outside to pay the man off,
so that Mrs. Condon wouldn't know how
high snow shoveling was. It took the
man 40 minutes to earn $2. Will never
kicked, but he told a ..friend of his it
would be some time before he put an ad
in The Chbonicle as a contractor.
