Time brings it's own cures. Many of our merchants are receiving their Christmas goods, and the show windows and Btoreejare taking on holi day attire. The militia boys held their regular drill last evening and in view of the present international complications, the boys took more than usual interest in the practice.

This morning shows that winter is upon us with a vengeance. Snow continued falling with more or less regularity all day yesterday and at night fall the weather authorities ordered out a regular etorm. Tbe flakes continued ( taWing a uight, and according to the volunteer observer's gauge this morning, nine and one-half inches had fallen. Snow shovels are in demand, and there is plenty of work for idle hands to do, cleaning sidewalks and making paths through the snow. The .Masonic chapter held a regular meeting last night, at which officers were chosen for the en&uine term. I Every incumbent was re-elected, so that the officers of the chapter are High Priest, Charles Hilton; King, E. F. Gibons ; Scribe, Andrew Larsen ; Capt. of the Host, G. C. Blakely; Principal Sojourner, W. S. Myers; Royal Arch Captain, John Marden; Grand Master 3d VeiJ, Emil Schanno; Grand Master 2d Veil, Hugh Logan ; Grand Master 1st Veil, E. C. Phirman; Treasurer, G. A, Liebe; Secretary, F. A. Abernethy ; Sentinel, R. G. Closter. The installa tion of officers will bo held two weeks from last night, but it is not expected to be public. . . Mention was made in The Chronicle a few days ago ot a call being extended by the Episcopal church of this city to Rev. Mr. Mercer of Qaincy, Illinois. At the time the call was made it was ex pected that Mr. Mercer would accept, as he had already expressed a willing ness to come West. In a letter received today by Mr. L. S. Davis from Bishop Morris, the bishop states that Mr. Mer cer cannot come, as he has received and accepted a call elsewhere. The news will be disappointing to theoieinbers of St. Paul's parrish, as they are very de 8irou8 of a rector being sent them and regular services begin again. The in ability of MrMercer. to accept the call will cause delay in the securing of a rector, but efforts will be made im tried l ately towards that end. Telephone No. 17. now Catering to the Family Trade. An Interesting Record. In delving among the records at the county court house yesterday some in teresting bits of early history were dis covered in a time-worn book, in whose pages for a long time no entries have been' made, among which were found some marriage notices of early pioneers. Tbe first entry proved to have been that of William C. McKay and Miss Marga ret Campbell. The record of this mar riage is written in a clear, legible hand and runs as follows : Territory of Oregon, County ot Wasco ) S8- This is to certify that the undersigned, a justice of the peace of said county, did on the third day of October, A. D. 1856, join in lawful wedlock William C. McKay and Miss M. Campbell, with their mutual consent, in the presence of Dr. Atkinson, Dr. Bates, R. R. Thomp son and. many other witnesses. Oh! what a glorious time we had ! C. W. Suang, Justice of Peace. S. R. Bates, Recorder. Recorded at Dalles, O. T., Oct. 15, 1856. Whether or not this was the first marriage ceremony performed in Wasco county we do not know, but it seems to be tbe first of record. These worthy people became among the best known and respected of all the Northwestern pioneers. Dr. and Mrs. McKay lived in Wasco county many years, and later j moved to Pendleton, where they resided till the doctor's death, a few years ago.' Dr. McKay was a finely educated, genial gentleman, who, by his winning man ners and ' noble character, attracted notice and friendships wherever be went. His -widow - is still a much re. spected resident of Pendleton. . There is nothing in the record to show where the ceremony was performed, and a pioneer, to whom the record was shown, said that he thought the marriage took place at the Cascades. Tnrning over a few pages, another record of marriage ceremony was dis covered, wfiicb does not possess tbe in terest of the preceding one. " It i9 given, however, .to show t the conditions pre vailing at that time. Tbe date of this ceremony is several years later than the first one mentioned, and was made after Oregon had become a state. State of Oregon, ) County of Wasco) " ; This is to certify that the undersigned, a justice of the peace of said connty, did on the first day of April, 1860, join in lawful wedlock J. W. Jackson and Jane, an Indian woman of the Spokane na tion, with their mutual consent, in the presence of W. W, Monro and Henry Hill, witnesses. S. B. Hodgdon, Justice of Peace. Recorded June 26. 1860. These records are well preserved, and will, along with -others found in the connty archives.be of value to the com ing historian. About tbe Trains. A blockade exists on the road today. No trains have moved since morning and it is impossible to tell what . time traffic will be begun. One train- is be tween Mosier and Hood River, where the snow is up to the headlight of tbe engine.

A general sleet kept up all morning between here and Portland, which changed to snow about-noon. All trains have been an nulled except No.'p 1 and 2, tbe regular passenger trains. The Dalles local left Portland this morning and got as far as Bridal Veil, where it was compelled to stop on account of the snow. The west bound passenger reached Portland all right this morning. The rotary snow plow was made ready for service, and left Portland at 1 o'clock. It is ex pected that the rotary will cut its way through to The Dalles this evening and that the passenger trains will be on time today. At Grants the same amount of snow has fallen as here. At Arlington about two inches less.. From Umatilla east e tor my weather exists, with very cold at Baker City. The Western Union wires are in good shape and business is going on as usual. Every report received from the Locks gives the same information, that the contractors are employing a large num ber of men and to all appearances work is being pushed at a rapid rate. At the same time that these reports are re ceived the impression accompany a them that the locks still lack a great deal of completion and there is a possibility, and a good one, that high, water will come before the canal will be open for traffic. What the troublo is, no one seems to know, and It may be that the impression alluded to is a wrong one. People have become so used to discour agement about the completion of the locks that they can never believe them done till they are officially opened. It is to ba hoped that the original state ments made with such confidence and emphasis by tbe contractors during the past summer will not prove to be mis taken in the outcome. If the locks are not completed for the passage of boats, thewish of the people of Eastern Oregon will be still further delayed in its reali zation. ' for Sale. A good cow.'
