Efforts of tbeCrook county court to tax
the lands of The Dalles Military Road
Company have resulted in a compromise
by tbe terms of which the company pays
taxes on 47.740.31 acres for 1897, and on

From Hick's Almanac, we take the
following weather report- for the first
week in February.: For most parts of
the continent February will be colder
until about the third, when a change to
warmer with falling barometer will take
place in western sections, and during tbe
4th and 5th thee conditions . will grad
ually spread eastward, resulting in rain
and enow in numerous locations. Moon
will be at extreme eouth declination on

the fifth, causing 'winds to flow from
northern regions and bringing in cold,
frosty' weather behind the storms, last-
,ng through the davs between the re
actionary disturbances and the regular
Vulcan period beginning on the eighth.
This morning at the Front street bowl

whole top was biown off by gas accumu
lating, and tbe flame leaned out sineinc

lucky, for it was a close call. ......
The city council of North Yakima in
special session Saturday night listened
to the report of an expert who bad ex
amined tbe city treasurer's books and
found a shortage of about $5000. It ex
tends back a period of three or four
years. City Treasurer Pressey has
turned over personal property to the
amount of $1000, acknowledging the use
of $2000 of the city money, but denying
any knowledge of the balance. - There
will probably be no arrests.
The county court convened today in
special session with County Judge Mays
and Commissioners Kimsey and Evans
present. The matter of redisricting
the connty and the empowering of the
county court to appoint deputy district
assessors to assess the property in the
county, is before the court today. This
will give better satisfaction to property
owners in general and will undoubtedly
result in the complete assessment oi
all taxable property in the different dis
tricts of the county.
Up to this time, the winter has been
unusually mild and favorable to stock
men, says tne Prineville Journal. The
deepest snow has not exceeded six
inches, and there is none at all now, ex
cept on the high mountains. There
have been no losses . of stock except
among horses which went into the
winter poor. In the Beaver creek
country eonth of here there has been
much deeper snow, and in fact it has
been deeper all over Eastern Oregon
than in Crook county.
. Last night about 9 o'clock the wind
began blowing and before subsiding
reached a great velocity. This was ac
companied by a driving snow storm and
a decided change in the weather. Those
who retired early last night were sur
prised to find on getting up this morn
ing, about three inches of snow. At 7
o clock the thermometor registered
sixteen degrees above zero, with a slight
wind blowing from the eaet. Last week
at this time we were enjoying perfect
spring weather with no indication of a
returning winter. However, at this
time of year we can expect most: any'
thing. .',

BABY IS FATALLY BURNED.
Terrible Tragedy of a Cape Born Fire
Four Children Beacoed by
Beroie Mother. '
Anzie Martelle, a baby five months
old, died in Portland Monday afternoon,
from burns received Sunday in a fire
which destroyed the home of her parents
at Cape Horn. Tbe child was one of
four children who were rescued from the
flames by tbe heroism of their mother
The others escaped with but slight in
juries,, and it was hoped that Angie
might recover, but her frail baby life
was not vigorous enough to endure such
terrible suffering, and in spite of medi
cal assistance, which the distracted
parents went to Portland to seek, she
became weaker and weaker till she died.
The Martelles live on a farm near
Cape Horn, Washington. The father of
the family -Went to Portland Sunday
morning, and during his absence, and
while the mother was at the barn feed
ing the chickens, the house took fire,
Mrs. Martelle was attracted by the glare,
and remembering that her four helpless
children were alone in the house, she
rushed to the door, but was driven back
by the beat. With the energy of despair,
she shattered a window in another part
of the house, and crawling through it
rescued her two larger children, who
were endeavoring to ecape by the door
The two babies', however, had hidden in
their terror in a closet, and Mrs. Mar
telle groped about for some time in the
blinding smoke before she was able to
find them. Their piteous cries finally
enabled her to locate their whereabouts,
and at the risk of her own life she ran
tnto the closet, which by this time was
blazing fiercely, and dragged them forth
into the open air. '
A glance at Angie. showed that her
burns were serious, and though the little
one had not the gift of speech she told of
ber agony in a language which the
mother understood, and which wrung
her heart'. As soon as possible assistance
was summoned, and the child was taken
to Portland, where everything possible
was done to alleviate her sufferings till
death mercifully ended them.
