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

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.

Mr. Baldwin has had his hall thor

had the scenery replaced, aud the stage
is so constructed that it can soon be put
in place. The hall wiil hardly be recog

Seven delegates, representing the Pa
cific jurisdiction of nine states in tlie
Sovereign camp of the Woodmen's
Circle, the ladies' auxiliary of the Wood
men of the World, bolted the conven
tion and effected a new organization
adopting a constitution and by-laws and
electing supreme officers. 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.

M. Doherty, of Pueblo, Colo. ; and Mrs.

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.
