John Crate, who started for Trout
Lake to get some cattle, was compelled
to return, as the snow was so deep that
it was impossible to reach the desired
destination.
The snow is so deep at the Locks that
all out door work lias been suepended
and the contractors are taking -precautions
to keep the engines and machinery
from being damaged.
Parties in from Bakeoven eay it is
raining in that locality. A chinook
seems to have swept south- of here and
the results of the storm are confined to
the region near the river.

The citizens of The Dalles have organ
ized a commercial and athletic club'. A
club of this kind will be a great help to
The Dalles, as it will bring her business
men together, and the young members
(of which there are a good many) will
have a good place to spend their even
ings. WaBco News.
A wood war is on in The Dalles, which
promises to be a brisk one. Through
competition of local dealers, the price of
wood has been reduced to a lower figure
than for previous winters, and for this
the consumer is glad.' An unusual large
amount of wood has been brought up
the river during the fall and the beach
is covered now with a good supply.
Preaching services will be held in the
Lutheran church next Sunday evening
under the auspices of the United Breth
ern Society. This is the first move tow
ards establishing a church of that de
nomination in The .Dalles. Rev. Mr,
Meeker will preach a sermon. Ar
rangements have been made with the
Lutherans so that the church will be
occupied at some hour every Sunday by
the United Bretherns.
Marshal Blakeney gives notice to those
people who have not cleaned off their
sidewalks to do so without further delay.
The ordinance provides that the Bide
walks shall be cleaned within ten
hours from the time of the fall and a
penalty is attached to meet, this require
ment. So in order to save trouble and
costs, the sidewalks had better be
cleaned. Pedestrians have a way of
judging people by the way they clean
their sidewalks.
Mr. F. H. Rowe, who came up from
Collins Landing last evening, says the
flume at that place is in operation and a
large amount of lumber is being floated
to the river. When asked as to when
he would begin work on his planing
mill and other ; projected industries in
The Dalles, Mr. Rowe said next spring
would see them started. The lumber
for his new house on the bluff will be
here in a short time. Mr. Rowe has ex
tensive interests at Lyle Landing and at
Collins, and intends making The Dalles
his headquarters. He returned down
the river this morning. .
The board of school directors, lias de
cided to make pay day earlier than usual
and instead of receiving their salaries on
the first Monday in January, tbe teachers
will receive them today. School Clerk
Jaeobsen has been busy making out the
warrants and has them ready for the
teachers. - The amount figures up to
over $1000, so quite an amount of money
will be added the fund in: circulation for
the holiday s,a8 school teachers like to buy
presents as does eyery other well
ordered person. There are fifteen teach
ers employed in The Dalles public
schools. This act of the school board is
a considerate one and should be Imi
tated by employers whrever possible.
The. country has .reason to rejoice at
the bountiful fall of snow which It it has
received. Before it fell the ground had
not frozen, and so when the snow, me' ta

the ground will get a good moistening
and be in splendid condition for plowing
in the early spring. The late fall or
winter plowing has been interfered with,
but the result will prove good Reports
from the stockmen go to show that they
all have feed to stand a good siege, and
the winter loss will not be more than the
average. Stock raising is conducted on
a different plan in this country than in
former years, and the close of each fall
sees the stockmen well provided with
winter feed. A freeze without the snow
would have been unwelcome, but as it
is, everyone, except .the chronic
grumbler, is satisfied.
Tbe snow-plow arrived from Portland
at 1 :10 this- morning, and fifteen min
utes later the passenger train rolled
into town. No great difficulty was ex
perienced by the now-plow from Port
land to The Dalles, though three large
drifts were encountered. The freight
train which left here yesterday morning
at 8 o'clock, was at Hood River at 2 this
morning, having spent the most of the
interim in a drift between Hosier and
Hood River, where it was rescued
by the rotary. Tbe .work-trains be
tween here and Portland , have been
abandoned for the winter, as any fur-,
ther improvement to the roadway is im
possible till spring. A few freight trains
will be run today, but the railroad
officials intend that the track shall be
kept cleared for passenger traffic. Very
little inconvenience to the traveling
public has been caused thus far by the
snow. -

We have a membership of fifty and
feel that this chapter ia on the high road
to prosperity. . The members are very
much enthused over the work, and are
particulaily anxious to have everything
done to the letter. Brother H. A.
Baker, our present Worthy Patron, and
SisterJJora Miller, both have been untir
ing in their efforts for the upbuilding of
our chapter, and we feel very sorry that
they can be with us-no longer.
They have moved this week to Port
land, where they will reside. A ban
quet was given in their honor, and while
all were present at the table, our Worthy
Matron presented to Mr. Baker and Mrs.
Miller each a golden souvenir spoon, in
behalf of tbe chapter, as a token of. re
spect and affection. It was after 11
o'clock when all dispersed to their
homes, feeling that a pleasant evening
had been profitably spent.

August Buchler has come into pos
session of . an elk's head and antlers,
which cijuse much admiration from a 1
beholders. They are undoubtedly as
fine a specimen as most ot the peo
ple ever see. Mr. Buchler secured them
from an Indian . several days ago, who
was loath to part with (hem and only
did so because the "epondulics" were a
necessity, and the head and antlers but
a luxury. The Indian said he killed the
elk a few miles touf.li of Mt. Hood and
that the event was of recent date, can be
seen by the appearance of the trophy.
Pieces of the flesh clinging to the skin
show that the animal is but a short
while dead. The head and antlers have
caused a desire among the members
of the Elk order to obtain them and it is
probable that they will secure the prize
and have it sent to a Portland taxi
dermist for mounting. Mr. Buchler has
received-several tempting" offers for his
acquisition. Elk, of this description,
are not so common in this region but
that so fine a specimen is a thing of curi
osity. Awarded "
