ManvIetteTSwere received from the
boys at Manila today, most of them
telling of the monotony of life there. It
will perhaps seem less monotonous
when it is learned that they may soon
return home. One letter says: "We
have all chipped in and ordered a big
Christmas dinner. When you are en
joying yours, imagine us devouring ours
with the thermometer 100 in the shade."
And now we are inclined to believe
that the report publiehed in the Belle
vue paper regarding the return of a
Dalles young man to that city was not
merely "newspaper talk." Yesterday
Sam Wilkinson disposed of one of his
cozy little cottages on Washington street
to one of our society boys. This is very
desirable property and just suitable for a
young couple who may be intending to
start in housekeeping.
The old Columbia is visible again, her
coverlet of ice having mostly disappeared

here at 7:30; while the Dalles City will
come np from Portland. The locks,
which it was supposed would cauBe
trouble, are also cleared, and no diffi
culty is anticipated.
Last Thursday morning Charles Cor
son received wordJrom his brother, Will,
at lone, saying that his mother, Mrs.
Emily Corson, had suffered a paralytic
stroke in the left side, and asking bim to
come immediately. He left on the first
train and has been at her bedside since
that time, fearing every moment would
be her last. However, this morning his j
wife received a letter from him inform
ing ber that Mrs. Corson was much im
proved and that he would arrive home
on the morning train.
Monday morning Byers' mill race, in
Pendleton, broke in two places, and a
great flood of water came rushing down
on the people, surrounding their houses
and temporarily imprisoning them. Dur
ing the night a chinook wind had come
- fvip
In a few hours, the snow on all the
hills had melted as though a blast had
come from a redhot furnace, and tbe
waters, flowing quickly down the hill
sides, augmented the volume of the mill
race until it ran banks full, and then tbe
planking of the flame broke, letting out
floods of water, doing considerable
damage.
An important order and announce
ment has been issued by the board of
health, of Pendleton, which places that
city nnder strict quarantine inspection
for a period of ten days, or until Decem
ber 30. Dr. H. S. Garfield states that
danger exists in the community from
the contagion of diphtheria and ecarlet
fever. One case of each is reported with
in the past 48 hours, and one child has
died under circumstances sufficiently
suggestive of diphtheria. The schools
have been ordered closed and an or
der has been issued forbidding all
theatres, dances, public Christmas trees
and other similar .assemblages for the
period of ten days.
Dr. Holiister, who arrived from Port
land last night, informs ns that it was
found necessary to perform an operation
on Fred Burchtort, and so serious was it
that two hours and a half were', con
sumed in operating. It appears that
at the time of the fall his skull was
mashed slightly, causing it to press on
the Drain, and Fred was afterward sub
ject to pains in the head and fainting
spells. Tbe surgeons removed a small
piece of bone, which was the chief
source of the trouble, and from accounts
received today he is getting along nicely.
While there the doctor called on James
Blakeney, and says he Beems very hope
ful and improving as fast as can be ex
pected in sucn caBes.
f
here seems to be great fatality among
he dogs in the West End of the city,.
which it is claimed is caused by some
one who has determined to poison every
animal which comes in his reach. Tbis
morning Dick Gorman's black Spaniel,
"Coley" (not Dewey) turned up his
little black toes and launched his bark
for dog heaven. Being informed of his
friend's demiee "Augustine" Wilson at
once started for the ecene to deliver the
funeral oration, and arriving informed
Dick that he had "come to brlry Coley
not to tight him." However, Augus
tine, as is his wont in attending church,
weddings and - funerals, was late and
another dog got in ahead of bim in
delivering the doggerel
RAILROADS AND RAILROADING
'More Talk of Hill Building to Portland,
fasslng Through The Dalles.
The published interview in the Tele
gram with a prominent Great Northern
official about the Great Northern con
templating a line into Portland via
Wenatchie, Ellensburg, Yakima and
The Dalles is causing considerable com
ment through the Northwest.
Since it is known that surveyors have
been in the field it can be all the more
readily believed. Even if James Hill
was rollipg snowballs in tbe East while
the Northern Pacific wa? building roads
in the West, the Great Northern mag
nate is keeping tbe rest of tbe rsads
guessing. A Northern Pacific official
claims that his road has surveyors also
along the proposed route, which will be
the means of nrging Hill to a greater
haste.
Mr. Hill-is not the kind of a man to
be shut out of such a strategic point as
Portland. As he says himself if the U.
P. absorbs the O. R. & N. and endeavors
to shut him out he will raise snch a
row as to force recognition. The only
way this can be done is by having the
means of building into Portland.
Sooner or later, tbe most conserva
tive railroad men are willing to admit,
this' will be done. Telegram.

YESTERDAY'S
AWFUL ACCIDENT
J
Mra. Tneresa Roese la Killed- on Klce's
Grade and Henry Gardner Bad
ly Injured.
From Mr. W. H. Butts, who has just
arrived from Mr. Rice's place, we learn
the following facts concerning the dread
ful accident which occurred there yester
day noon :
Henry Gardner, a man of abnnt 54
years, and well known to all reeidents
in the Tygh Ridge country, where he has
lived for years, and Mrs. Theresa Reese,
of the same neighborhood, were ou their
way to this city, where they intended to
obtain a marriage license, and returning
home be married on Christmas day.; but
what was to be a happy trip to them
turned into one of sadness and death.
Upon reaching the Rice grade, eight
miles tbis side of Dufur in the -Liberty
district, the hill, which is always a bad
one, was found to be a mass of ice
Their horses were . unshod, and the
wagon kept crowding onto them, finally
frightening them until they ran away
They kept the road until very near the
foot of tbe grade, wben the wagon
which also contained a load of barley,
was swayed to tbe right and although.
not going over .itself, threw the oc
cupants oyer the steep precipice on to the
rocks. Mrs. Reese's arm was mashed to
pieces and a deep gash in her head lay
the brains bare, even scattering them on
the rocks. She died instantly. Mr.
Gardner bad his left arm broken, his
right wrist badlv shattered, his face
mashed, a cut on his forehead and
deep hole in bis left temple.
In tbis terrible condition he crept to
where the woman lay, and finding her
dead, started for help. Arriving at Rice's
residence, a short distance away, as
eistance was given and tbe dead woman
brought to tbe house, while a messenger
was dispatched to Dufur for Dr. Eshel-
man, who di eased the injured man
wounds.
The horses reaching the bottom
of the hill ran into a fence, breaking the
tongue and one of the wheels completely
off.
Mr. Butts was sent for this morning,
but deemed it unnecessary to hold an in
quest. As he left they were preparing
to remove Mr. Gardner to Dnfur. Mrs.
Reese's children have been sent for, and
upon their arrival arrangements will be
made for removing her body to Dufur
for burial. She is a woman of about 40
years, and leaves three grown children.
Mr. Butta eays the roads are almost
impaBBable, and that from the icy con
dition of the grade it is not surprising
that the deplorable accident, which hag
cast a gloom over tbe neighborhood, oc
curred. Will Make the Trip Tomorrow.
The steamers of the Regulator line
will commence running tomorrow morn
ing, Dec. 23d, at the usual schedule time
viz: Leave The Dalles at 7:30 a. m.,
leave Portland at 7 a. n.
