Snow has been falling most all day and
this morning when train No. 3 left for
Portland it was blockaded near Latou
elle Falls where the snow had drifted ou
the track to a depth of six feet. Train
flo.l wnicn is due nereat3:lo p. m. was
an hour late and the prospects are that
it will not get through on time. The
snow plow from Portland was ordered
out to clear the track and no freight
trains nave lett the city today.
The case of the state of Oregon vs
Jacob Craft charged with threatening to
kill, terminated in short order this
morning. The defendant was discharged
oy justice J. jl,. ijayara, as mere was
not sufficient evidence to hold him. A,
A. Jayne and H.. H. Riddel 1 appeared
for the state while Ned Gates represent
ed the defendant. Justice Bayard was
somewhat wrathy over the case and
from appearances would liked to have
sent the prosecuting witness up for sixty
days.
Business in the city is very quiet, in
fact there is hardly anything doing. But
this is the time of year we always ex
pect a lull in trade. However, our mer
chants are losing no time but are busily
engaged in taking stock, which to the
clerk and bookkeeper is looked forward
to with dread.. But to the merchant it
will be a source of pleasure, for when he
looks over his balance sheet and com
pares his losses and gaina he will be
agreeably surprised to find his gains are
far in advance of his expectations.
Lee K. Morse,, first sergeant of com-J
pany L, Second Oregon volunteers, was
killed, probably by accident, in Manila,
Friday. A dispatch containing this
meager information waa received yester
day at Portland by his father, A. A.
Mor6e, from Captain Harry Wells, com
manding the young man's company. No
further particulars could be learned, and
none were received by the Associated
Press. The dispatch reads : "Lee killed.
Accident." As there has beeu nothing
in the press dispatches to indicate
trouble in Manila of late, the inference
is that young Morse came to bis death
by accident.
A measure to regulate the matter of
committee clerkships will make its ap
pearance very early in the coming ses
sion of the legislature, probably the first
day, and it is sure to raise a commotion
If adopted, it will make a saving to the
state of more than $20,000 for the session
and increase the efficiency of the clerical
work. It will first come np in the form
of a joint resolution reported by the
special committee appointed at the
special session o examine into the
matter. The adoption of the resolution
will bring the new arrangement into ef
fect for this session, and later a bill will
be offered to carry the same beneficent
systezn to future legislatures. -
Stephen C. Roster's beautiful song,
"ine Uld folks at Home, or as we
better know it, "The Sawanee River,"
has long been one wbicb arouses the
pathetic side of almost every nature,
There is in its quaint melody and
mournful words a life picture of the
sunny south of which" so many in the
north know little. William C. Sterling,
the author of "On the Snwanee River,"
which conies to the Vogt opera houee
Monday evening next, January 16, has
taken as the locality of this new play the
region about the little village of Suwanee
on the banks of the famous old stream,
and he presents to us the story of the
family of Clayton, one of the first set
tiers in Florida. It is not claimed that
developments of the play are new, nor
that the story possesses any great
amount of originality in its development.
Mr. Sterling has simply written a ro
mance of the eouth with true old char
acters and placed them in this little
known region, depending upon the
strength of bis play and its romantic
surroundings to win public approval.
Reports of this new attraction are good
and in it we are promised a"bome play"
which will prove attractive and interest
ing to the best class of theatre-goers.
The story has been fhorougbly illu
strated with scenic investiture "painted
from nature in the region of the action
of the play.
