O'Day and Hon. Wallace! McCatumant are in the city today from Portland. This morning they appeared before Judge Bradsbaw on a motion for a change of venue in the case of S. W. ' Aldrich vs. the Columbia Southern Railway. The judge has taken the matter under advisement. Agister of Mr. W. H. Reeves, the brakeman, whose right foot was so bad ly mashed by falling from the train about two weeks ago, informs ns that upon reaching the hospital in Portland it was found necessary to amputate the foot, which was done on the following Sunday.

The river, however, has risen about two foet and caused the ice itn to extend a little farther up the stream. Just wait till that Chinook Cornea and there won't be enough ice left to cool a glass of water.

T 1 1 AT" - 11.. c N man. So contradictory are the reports con cerning existing conditions at Manila that it seems impossible to find out the truth regarding the matter. Last week a telegraphic dispatch from Honolulu contained the reports given by a nurse who had just returned from there, which was borrowing in the extreme and calcu lated to cause much anxiety to parents having dear ones in that far off land. At the time the report came it seemed etrange t) all that none of the soldier boys writing home had Riven accounts which represented matters in anything like such a terrible condition. Although tliey would no doubt keep back a por tion of the truth, had Buch misery ex isted 'lis likely some of them would have told of it. We therefore publish an Oregonian editorial which not onlyj denies the statements made by the nurse, 6ut will no doubt give encouragement to fathers and mothers wbo9e sons are compelled to remain there until March at least. Tl.is morning at the eession of the county court, which had been adjourned from December 5th, the matter of mak ing Hood Riyer a public highway again was brought up, when at the recom mendation of the appraisers of the land adjacent to the river, the Hood River Lumberirg Company was awarded $2,000 damage on one piece of land at the mouth of the river. As damage for crossings made on their land farther up the river $40 was given them, AJrt. A. Jackson is lying at her home at La Grande, says the Chronicle, in a very precarious condition, the result of a slight accident about thirty days ago. While sweeping, her band slipped from the top of the. broom handle and struck her on the breast, a slight blow to which she paid no attention at the time. This has been growing from bad to worse until now, Dr. Honan, the attending uhysician, gives little encouragement to her family of her recoveiy. This morning Fred Burchtorf, ac companied by Dr. Hollieter, left ior Portland, where the doctor wilt consult h other Burgeons regarding Mr. Borehtorf'tf condition. It will be re membered that several months ago Mr. B&rchtorf fell from a building on which he was working, spraining his ankle and receiving other bruises. After a few weeks he was able to be about the streets again, but failed to recover as might be wished. Having suspicions that there may be some internal injary his physi cian suggested that Portland specialists be consulted, and therefore the trip is made. It is however hoped that no :rious injury will be- detected. The Seufert & Condon Telephone Co. is wide awake, in fact it has been very wide awake ever eince May 6th, 1895, giving all night and all day service without' interruption. All its trans mitters are of the long distance type and Lit keeps up with, the latest improve ments. This company inaugurated a reasonable rental and its popularity is shown by its new list which will be out this month containing the names of over 330 bona-fide subscribers. This large list enables its patrons in the vicin ity of its toll line stations at Eight-Mile, Boyd, Dufur, Gorman and Kingsley to communicate' direct with all places of any importance in The Dalles. Its country iine is equipped with the finest "bridged" telephones on a full metallic circuit and is giying perfect eatisiaction. THE NEW STEEL FURNITURE. Oar Records Are Now Safe Wherj Fire Cannot Affect Them. Married. In this city on Monday evening, Dec. f5th, 1S98, Mr-Henry Jot-nston and Mrs. Mary E. Howell, Rev. D. V. Poling, the nastor of the Congregational church of this city, officiating. Mrs. Howell was formerly Associated in missionary work at Hoonah, Alaska. Shu was working under a commission of the Presbyterian board of missions of IJew York, and labored in all live years in the frozen Northland. Her former home was in Allegheny City, Pa. Mr. Johnston is a prosperous and highly respected citizen of White Solmon, Wash., and deserves the splen did wire he has found in the former Mrs. Howell. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston will make their future home in White Salmon. Tbey have the best wishes of a large circle of friends. " : . . . Making our usual rounds todav ana ailing at the court house we found the fr.lai.lr ant hia rfrttit-.v rinsllv erienced in placing the books, records, etc.. in their respective places, the contractors havin comnleted their work. of nuttin faev steel furniture. It has been a ques- tmrjjn th- miTHfr-nf those who have watched the proceedings and seen what an amount of furniture was piled up In the halls, as to where in such a small vault could be found space for it. But there is loom and to epare, while the interior looks as neat as a new pin and as substantial as anything could possibly be. ' To be Eure that the clerk was not mis leading ub as to the capacity of the fur niture (for clerks are somewhat like newspaper people) we began counting the various receptacles, and found that there were 264 patent adjustable roller book shelves; 435 patent compreea docu ment file boxee ; forty-seven drawers ; 136 pigeon, holes and boxes ; two lock boxes, which have the appearance of small safes, each containing two drawers and shelves ; a stationery wardrobe ; five cupboard bases, and to these are added two steel ladders, which are used for se curing the records on the upper tiers. Everything is complete and there is ample room for all that the vault is re quired to contain. , And now residents of the county can rest assured that the most valuable re cords are secure from the ravages of fire. This vault is the receptacle for over $4,000,000 worth of records, papers, etc. Indeed, no price can be placed on its contents, which could not be replaced were they to be damaged or destroyed. Every business man, who may be termed prudent, secures his stock, which can be replaced with the expenditure of a few dollars, by heavy insurance, but the only insurance which we have on these priceless documents is the manner in which we protect them from destroying elements. As they are now arranged if by any means fire were to obliterate the contents of one bos or drawer it could not possibly spread to the adjoining ones, being surronnded by steel parti tjtms. Besides the safety guaranteed, the amount of time saved, now that suffi cient room Is given, is an item not to be overlooked, for every record is classified and there is space enough to hold the records of the county for twenty-five years. Another item which might be men tioned in connection with the benefits derived from these improvements is the care which the books will receive. The manner in which they were formerly arranged was calculated to cause great wear in pulling them in and out of the shelves. Now that they are placed on rollers this trouble is obviated. The old furniture has beed utilized by placing it in the county court room, and making it a receptical for all old records dating for years back. These are being classified, labeled and dated, and dupli cates made, the substance of which is recorded in the journals and placed in the vault, so that in case the old records were destroyed there would be compar atively no loss thereby. Every person in the county should feel a satisfaction that these much need ed Improvements have been mad Skates Skates Skates New line just received at ...maler Benton ..THE HKOTRSE DEALERS.. 167 Second St THE DALLES, (JR.
