Mr. John E. Forbls of Wasco, Sher
man conntv, was in the city today and
completed bis cash entry on 160 acres of
Sherman county's fine wheat lands.
The skating jesterday waEne on the
Columbia below the & A. N. Co.'s
wharf, and the ice was covered with
lovers of that slippery sport most of the
day. S
Up to 2:30 this afternoon seven cash
entries, four final homestead proofs and
one homestead application bad been
made. Over $1600 paid in to the gov
ernment therefor.
The primary school of the Misses Tay
lor held in the lecture room of the First
Baptist chnrch has been changed from a
morning to an afternoon school on ac
count of the bad weather. School be
. gins at 1 o'clock.
Money will be more plentiful in this
neighborhood when all the government
lands are bought and paid for. It is
really wonderful that we manage to get
along at all and pay cash when we eg nd
out of the country for land over a hun
dred thousand yearly.
Tha weather moderated last night in
a small degree, and by daylight there
' was an inch or two of snow-" Snow con
tinued falling until a boot 11 o'clock, up
.. to which time between 4' and 5 inches
bad fallen. The indications are for
more of the "congealed element,' and
the weather prophet in Portland says we
- are entitled to more tomorrow. '.
From the way" the snow comes down
todav, there is liable lo be plenty of it
by this time tomorrow. However, it is
very libt and dry, and will not inter
fere with railroad traffic unless .the wind
gets a chance at it. If it does, we are
liable to be shut off from communication
with Portland until the rotary enowplow
is sent through. '
If it had not been for Thanksgiving,
and it being a legal holiday, the Regula
tor wonld have been this side of the
locks instead of the other and conse
quently the Dalles City would not have
been wrecked. So that after all it was
the refusal of those in charge to cperate
the locks that was responsible for the
wreck. Traced further back, the wreck
can be placed to the fault of those old
pilgrims who caused. Thanksgiving day.
Mr. Jobnsob, toe ferryman, came
across the Columbia yesterday morning
about 10 o'clocyon the ice. lie wore a
pair of long Norweigan snow-shoes, and
carried a long pole. After be started
the ice broke loose above and came down
against that already blocked, but John
son climbed over into the ice as it
jammed and came across in a few min
utes. This morning several parties
crossed from this side, and tbe jam
seems to be pretty solid. - However, we
would not advise anyone trying it for
fun.
Wednesday morning, while Colonel
Hartley was abeenl at The Dalles, his
wife came down stairs to build a fire in
the stove, and returned upstairs to dress
the children. Little Howard came
down in -his night dress, and while
standing by the stove, bis dress cangbt
fire. He ran screaming upstairs and
was met on the stairs by his mother and
sister, who succeeded in putting out tbe
blaze before the boy was much burned,
but their hands were burned quite
badly. Mrs. Hartley's finger tips were
burned and swollen in a frightful man
ner. Gladys escaped with slight barns.

The wreck of the steamer Dalles City,
is probably complete, and all that will
be saved of her is the machinery. The
hull and skeleton of the good little craft
that has done such' splendid service on
the lower river will remain where it lies
until high water carries it away. From
Mr. Charles Stone, one of tbe passen
gers on the ill-fated boat, we gather
some of the particulars of this wreck.
Mr. Stone has been engaged in fishing
on the Columbia for several years and
says the night was tbe worst and the
river the roughest he ever saw it. He
says there was no blame to be attached
to anyone for . th.e accident, and
ascribes it to the boat making lee way
in the terrific gale.
She left the Cascades about 5: 30 and
ploughed through the heavy seas all
right until about 6:30, at which time she
struck. The night was intensely dark,
and Captains Johnson and. McNulty
were both in the pilot bouse.
Mr. Stone is not positive, but' thinks
tbe boat struck on the port side, and
that she had made lee way enough to
get between the sandbar and the rock.
Almost instantly after she struck, one
of tbe deckhands called to tbe captain to
head her for shore, as she was sinking,
but in two minutes from the time she
struck she was on tbe bottom, Mr,
Stone thinks with the rock on which she
struck still under her. As soon as she set
tled t'he crew took soundings, finding that
she was resting safely in about seven
feet of water. The boiler deck aft was
nnder water about a foot, and the cattle
on board, two carloads, wore standing in
six to ten inches of water. Some of the
passengers were-at first quite badly
frightened, but were soon reassured by
the officers and crew. The fire box was
nearly two-thirds fall of water, but tbe
crew fished wood out ot the bold, and
floating it into the fire-box, managed to
keep the fire going and to keep np a
steam pressure of from 25 to 50 pounds,
the bigb wind creating draft enough to
permit this being done. Had it not
been for this tbe passengers would have
had a very cold night of it. As it was
it seemed a long time till daylight. Offi.
cers and crew did everything possible
to make their passengers comfortable,
and it was only owing to their indefati
gable efforts that there was no suffering.
At daylight Parser Truman Butler,
with two of tbe crew, took a small boat
and went to tbe Cascades for help, risk
ing their lives in doing so. At 10:30
one of the hog-chains parted and the
bow of the boat settled, but fortunately
the boat did not careen, and shortly
after the steamer Maria, belonging to
the Days, which., bad been secured by
Mr. Butler, caqoe alongside and took off
tbe passengers and cattle. The hogs
which formed part of the carge are still
on board, but will be gotten off the first
opportunity.
Agent Allaway is at the scene of the
wreck, and will do. every thing possible
to save what can be saved of the wreok.
Tie Dalles City was built in the fall
of 1891, the hull was jnst finished when
purchased by the D. P. & A. N., who
completed her and put in the machinery.
She proved to be just what was needed
for the lower river, -handling easily in
the swift waters below the Cascades,
and being a phenomenal climber of that
rapid current. She cost altogether
about $24,000.
The company has not yet decided on
what will be done, nor can it decide
until the exact condition of the boat is
determined. ' If she proves a total loss
arrangements will be made at once for
building another and a faster boat to
take her place.
The officers and crew are still on
board, and cannot get off, until tbe river
either clears of running ice or freezes up,
but as they have plenty of wood and
water, with fifty boxes of pears, plenty
of potatoes and pork, and some other
things, they can stand a pretty long
siege.
The Figures Won't r.le.
If you want to amuse yourself, make
your friends, believe 70a are extraoi
dinarily gifted, and do a little practicing
in mental arithmetic, get familiar with
doing the following, and you will never
fail to discover the age of a person and
month in which he was born. First,
you ask him to go to the other end of
the room, to prevent your seeing what
he is going to write. Then you ask him
o put down the number of ' the month
In which he was born, and multiply it
by 2, then add 5 to the sum, and multi
ply that by 50, add his age to the quo
tient, then deduct 3G5, and then add 115
to the difference. Suppose be- is 49
years of age, and was born in February,
the computation would stand thus: Two
times 2 equals 4, plus 5 equals .9, multi
plied by 50 equals 450, plus 49 equals
499,. minus 365 equals 134, plus 115
equals 249. Tbe last two figures indi
cate the age, and the first figure Feb
ruary, the second month of the year,
You simply ask tbe person to state the
result of tbe calculation and then declare
be was born in February and is 49 years
of age.
