Jake Snadnps, an Indian, wns arrested at Hood River Sunday by Constable Hill, charged with stealing a lot of stur geon from Proctor & Wilson. He was taken before Justice Filloon yesterday afternoon, confessed his crime and was fined $30 and costs, which he paid. The Grant county court has awarded the contract for putting in steel fixtures at the county jail to the Mosler Safe Company of Portland for $275Q. Among the improvements will be steel cells, closete, bathtubs, etc. The work is to be clone this spring, and after that is hoped there will be no more escapes from this jail. Word waB brought to town about noon that the body of an unknown man had been found near the head of Dry Hol low this morning. A pistol was found by his side and it is supposed to be a case of suicide. Coroner Butts went out to hold the inquest this afternoon, and had not returned at the hour of going to press. The body is said to be that of a young man. With the coming of spring quite a number of buildings wilKgo up. We un derstand Mr. E. Schanno is to erect a fine reeidencoVandMN-eX note that Judge Bennett is having a lot of work done on his lots near the Mill creek bridge, pre sumably with the intention of building during the summer. Several other buildings are projected, and within a month or two the building trades will have quite a rush. Mr. P. P. McCully, the printer, is not sticking type today, neither iff he enjoy ing a lay-off. This morningas he was engaged in kindling, thefire in the kitchen stove, and while splitting kind ling for that purpose, he ax took a curve on him, aud he chopped the end offhiB left thumb. TbiB made quite a change in his thumbs for the right one is now left, and the left one is only part ly left. It will probably prevent him working for some time. Do not forget tbe illustrated talk by Professor 'A. B. Cordley on the "Insect aud Fungus Pests of the Apple, Pear and Peach" at the courthouse Thursday evening, March 18th. The profesor invites all those interested in fruit-growing to attend, and to bring with them samples of insects and pests of diseased trees for examination. The following evening at the same hour and place President H. B.. Miller will deliver a lecture entitled "Industrial Education." The lecture will be illustrated by stereop ticon views of the college and its work. Both lectures should draw a crowded house. The stove in E. T. Wilson's residence in EUensburg blew up last Friday. Mrs. Wilson was near tbe stove when the ac cident occurred, and sustained painful but not dangerous injuries. In view of the destruction wrought in the kitchen, however, it was a marvelous escape. The stove was blown to pieces, and the room was almost a total wreck. Mrs. Wilson received prompt attention, and iB rapidly recovering from her injuries. The waterback in the stove burst last i November, because of water having frozen in it, and the accident last Friday resulted from a similar cause. The spring clip of poetry is beginning to arrive, which leads us to hope that those simple-minded folk, in so close touch with nature that her moods are to them as open a book as to the ground hog, are not mistaken, and that tbe rosy goddesB is near at hand. We print the first wild blossom, so to speak, the first shearing from the blatant lamb, not be cause we indorse the sentiments therein expressed, but just to show that spring, with all her beauties, has some evils in her train Jto which the sniffles and lay ender pants can't hold a candle. The author of the poem alluded to may es cape further arrest, and we hope he will. A Neat Ball. RESENTED THE SLIGHT. Seven Delegates Bolted the Convention of Woodmen' Circle. Mr. Baldwin has had his hall thor oughly overhauled, painted and cleaned, and it will be used for the first time since the skating rink closed, tomorrow night, the occasion being the ball in honor of good St. Patrick. He has aUo had the scenery replaced, aud the stage is so constructed that it can soon be put in place.

The break was occasioned by the Sovereign camp ignoring' the women of the West in making up the list of committee's and officers. The bolters were Mrs. Eden South wich, of Salem, Or.; Mrs. Inez Filloon, of The Dalles, Or. ; Mrs. Carrie C. Van Orsdell, of Pendleton, Or. ; Mrs. Annie HawkinB, of Albany, Or.; Mrs. 0. A. Grimshaw, of Denver, Colo. ; Mrs. W. M. Doherty, of Pueblo, Colo. ; and Mrs. J. L. Wright, of Leadvllle, Colo. An Kvtdence of Spring. Flower-bedecked and fragrant, light tripping spring skips from hill to hill like a lambkin. Coming from the far south, melting the lingering snow drifts from the hill tops, calling into life each tiny blade of grass and sprinkling hill and dale with the purple nnd gold of iris and buttercup. Budding tbe shoots of the willow, shooting the buds of peach and cherry and lilac into life fnstead of death. As she comes northward, nature leaps forth to meet her, joyous and happy as a lover to meet his "first and only." Her feet touch the soil and all the flowers come forth in a thousand tints, and the air in laden with perfumes distilled in Paradise. Around her the gladsome birds break forth in joyous song, and the musical tinkling of the true poetry below gives evidence that the dainty, be-garlanded and fickle damsel is, if not here, at least due.
