The steamer, Pilgrim, made her first
run between Portlanaxand this city yes
terday, arriving heref aw:10 last night:
The Pilgrim is a email propeller, and
while comfortable enough for a short
run, will, we think, prove very weari
some for a ten or twelve hours' ride. In
these days of rapid transit, slow boats
and slow trains are not in it, and we
fancy the Pilgrim will not stay on the
route long.
The Salvation Army waB out in a
blaze of patriotism last night, American
flags being numerous, and one of the
men was togged up in bunting until he
looked like a matador at a Spanish bull
fight. The street services were unusu
ally fervent, and the invitation to visit
the hall quite liberally responded to.
The work of cleaming the mud from
Second street, between Washington and
Federal, is about completed and it is
really a pleasure to seeNbat portion of
the highway showing here and there a

proveinent if the whole street could re
ceive the same treatment, and it would
also be appreciated nxt summer when
what is now mud will be dust, and dis-
biter of the debate tonight.. There will
be some old songs given in a new dress.
Do not forget the debate at the Con
gregational church this evening. It will
be a spirited contest, and well worth
listening to.
"Ivy Green," a bong from Pickwick
papers, and one of the few of Dickens'
poems set to music, will be sung Friday
night at the "Evenings with Dickens"

It is expected the Dalles City will be

The Eastern Oregon session of the
legislature meets at the Vogt this even
ing at 8 o'clock. There is going to be
whole lots of fun, and those who do not
attend will regret it. Arrangements
were completed this morning for the
session, which will be called to order
promptly. A special attempt wil be
made to get "Mr. Jones," the gentleman
from Wasco, to occupy his seat, a com
mittee ot six beimr appointed to show
bim the way.
George Sbaub, a 12-year-old boy, was
kicked in the head by a horse at Coburg
Thursday, iiis skull being crushed.
His folks were all away from home, ac
companying the boy's sister, who was
departing for California, to the depot.
.It is supposed he went to the staoie
about 5 o'clock to do the chores, and
was kicked by what had always been
supposed to be a gentle horse. He was
found lying unconscious on the stable
floor when his folks returned, and will
die.
Jnstead of diminishing the area of tbe
Cascade Forest Reserve, tbe president
yesterday issued tbirteea proclamations
establishing thirteen additional forest
reservations, with a total creee of 21,
789,000. Heretofore sixteen reewvatioas
have been made, with a total acreage of
17,600,000. So that yesterday the reeer-
vations made wore of gseater area than
all made before that time. There was
one made tor each oi the original colo
nies, a patriotic arrangement, but per
haps foolish.
It is undoubtedly true that the fruit
trees in this county vere injured to
some extent by the cild weather of No
vember. How muefPdamage has been
done it is impossible to tell, tbe only
test being to let the trees alone until
late spring. Mr. B. F. Laughlin tells us
that in 1881 the fruit treea were injured,
and many, thinking they were ruined,
cut them down. When 6pring came
most of those left were late about bud
ding, but came out all right. It is tbe
part of wisdom on those having fruit
trees to let them alone until they are
proven beyond doubt to be killed.
Mr. Owen Williams, a resident of The
Dalles for many years, is a patient at
Good Samaritan hospital, suffering from
cancer of the stomach. He is hardly
expected to live during the week, but
the patient is making a heroic effort to
avert what apparently seems inevitable,
and insists that lie is getting better. Mr.
William? is well known to many in
Portland, being a prominent member of
the Elks and other secret orders. He is
reoeiviug every attention at the hands
of his friends and the hospital attend
ants, but they all realize that he has
only a few more days to live. Ore-

"NIT."
That Wat All the Returning- Politician
Would Say nr the Situation.
Several Eastern Oregon politicians
have returned from the town where is
located the state capitol. They tsamo up
Sunday and this morning. A party
which came un Sunday was composed of
Col. J. II. Raley, Col. L. F. Cook, of
Pendleton, Charles Hydo and C. A.
Johns, of Baker City ; T. II. Crawford
and Thomas Wright, of Union.
These politicians were asked what
they had learned concerning the way
things were situated in Salem, ami with
one accord they exclaimed with n voico
that shook the car windows and made
the tin on the car root rattle :
"Nit I"
They went on to explain that a man in
Kalamazoo or in Hindustani could form
as correct a guess at the outcome as any
one who had been in Salem looking for
information. Down there it is nil mys
tery and whisperings-and waiting, the
excitement stage having passed nnd a
quietude having ensued like death aiter
a stormy aud passionate lifo, the quiet
broken once and a while by the never
dying tongue of T. N. Brown, the Mor
row county representative, nnd n few
more who seem to fear that unless they
occasionally articulate the people will
forget they are in the legislature.
"Do we know how the thing is coming
out?" said one of the returning citizens.
"Young man, no being in all the uni
verse knows that, excepting the Al
mighty in Heaven, and he has deserted
the Oregon legislature, left them to
their own destruction, and . even His
ministers, the Clergymen of Salem, have
refused to attend the sessions nnd pray
for the lost souls who composed the
membership of that legislative body. It
is far beyond the mortal ken to predict
With any certainty what a day will bcjng
forth. I am prepared to boo anyone
elected or no one. I nm prepared to see
the legislature adjourn sine die or re
main in their present condition, a half
baked organization, until Gabriel's
trump is blown calling sinners to re
pentance and sounding the doom of the
Oregon legislature. Political prophecy
in Oregon is a lost art. The wisest say,
like the famous skeptic, Bob Ingersoll,
'I do not know.' No one knows. The
legislature itself does not know. I do
not know, and what's more, I don't care
a rap." East Oregoninn.

Walla Walla Fruit.
The opinion prevails with the fruit
growers in and near Milton trial a con
siderable percentage of the fruit trees in
the Walla Walla valley were either
killed outright or wore badly Injured, by
the severe cold weather of last Novem
ber. Strange as it may seem, it was not
always the early and tender varieties
that suffered, but in many instances
those that flourish in countries where
rigid cold is experienced, have been in
jured seriously. The condition of the
tree itself at the freeze-up seems to have
been an important factor.
If no more cold is experienced, there
will be a. fairly good crop of apricots and
peaches. Of course some of this fruit
has been damaged, but there will be
enough for home requirements and a
considerable left over for their neigh
bors, whose homes are not in tiie fruit
belt. Royal Ann cherries are said to ho
severely hurt, and there are nlso several
varieties of winter apples that are great
ly damaged and in some instances en
tirely killed.
It is thought by conservative fruit men
that at least one-third of the entire fruit
crop of the Walla Walla valley was
killed by the November freeze. Pen
