Today is indeed a perfect day, and
now is the time for some newspaper to
remark that the "spring has come,
gentle Annie ;" the "frogs are croaking,"
or words to that effect. Already the
wild .flowers are beginning to make their
appearance and some ' of our residents
are working on their gardens. This,
however, seems a little premature, for
colder weather is sure to make its ap
pearance before "summer comes again."

A few days ago the summer residence
of Leon Juston, near the Cascade Locks,
was destroyed by fire under peculiar
circumstances. The place was occupied
by Mr. King and wife who were en-J
gaged to look after the place.
The King family lost all their clothing
and jewelry, and all the furniture ex
cepting a few pieces were burned.' The
building was valued at $3000 and the
furniture at $1500. The total insurance
was but $1800. The fire originated in
the kitchen.' Mr. King and bis wife
were at dinner at the time. Mrs. King

Yonng America often gets dissatisfied,
and patting the expansion theory into

Accordingly, yesterday afternoon Mike
and John Bohan, aged 15 and 11 years,
spread their wings and flew away, mak
ing up their minds that home restraints
were not "in it" with the liberty to be
derived from traveling over the country
witn a norse ana cart. They chose as
their favorite direction the road which
leads to Dafur, and at last accounts were!

Two weeks ago we were sleigh riding ;

the Baying is, "shake hands with the

fortunates are now borrowing trouble re
garding tbe fruit trees,; saying that they
are beginning to put forth budB, ' and
that the cold weather, which is sure to
follow, will nip them and so cause a fail
ore of the crop. Those who have made
horticulture a study inform ui that there
is not tne slightest cause lor concern as
yet, as there are no signs of buds. One
gentleman tells us that he baa been a

If the reporters who attended tbe re-
bersal of the minstrel performance last
night were permitted to give it a genuine
write-np today, and oar readers would
take our word for it, there wouldn't be
an inch of standing room to spare in the
hall tonight. Every feature alone is
worth the price of admission. We con
fess, that while we anticipated a good
show, it far surpasses what we expected
and Dalles people have still more Tea
son to feel proud, of, the local talent as
a number who make their first appear
ance tonight prove themselves far ahead
of most of the professionals who visit
our city. The boys have taken no end
of pains to give na an entertainment of

It is said that the bill to create tbe
county of Wheeler may be reconsidered
having lacked one vote of being passed."
It received just 30 votes. Had there been
a full attendance it is believed it wouid
have passed, and it is not at all im
probable even yet that the vote by
which it wis defeated will not be recon
sidered and the bill pot to another vote.
HawBon led tbe opposition to the-' bill.
He was loaded for bear, and ' In his
speech against it probably made .the
oratorial effort of bia life. He claimed
that the new county would cutoff .the
best third of Gilliam county, including
nearly all of tbe county's best timber
and Water supply. He characterized
the bill as an injustice to the people of
his county who had remonstrated against
it, and would be left with nothing bat
debt with which to carry on business if
the dismembering were permitted. His
plea was that the question of dismem
berment be left to the public of h's
county.
