that far distant country. ,

Well, she got me to subscribe for a $4

We feel that we owe an apology to
the young ladies of The Dalles for allow
ing our type yesterday to say that . Will
orossen would take a carload of young
. ladies from lone to Heppner to attend
the minstrels. Not that Will has not
the a;ood taste to do so ; but in this case
it is Will Corson wno has the honor.
If the weather at Heppner is anything
like it is here, 'tis not likery that our
boys kept step to the music ot the young

of them could not any way, as it is. said
they were placad under arrest by order

PEASE
About 10 o'clock snow began to fall, and
at noon today five inches had fallen. The
"beautiful" is all right, but is making
its appearance a little too often to be ap
preciated, especially by stockmen, who
tear the result -of such a protracted
winter.
Secretary Batchelder, of the Oregcn-Trans-Miesiesippi
and International ex
position committee, is in receipt of a
notice from State Treasurer Moore to
the effect that citizens holding certifi
cates of the commission for money ad
vanced by them can have face value of
game returned by presenting said cer
tificates at bis office in Salem, or by
sending same through any bank, prop
erly endorsed.
In e pi to of the inclement' weather, a
large number gather at the M. E. church
each evening, and much good is being
accomplished, every meeting witnessing
eome conversion or visible eigne of peni
tence. The ill health of the pastor has
thrown the responsibility of the work
on the shoulders of .Presiding JMder
Warner, who has been untiring in his
effrtp, and therefore very successful.
The meeting will continue during the
week.
T. T. Nicholas & Co. have secured an
option on all lands included in the coal
belt on Chenoweth creek, and as soon as
spring opens developments will be made
which will surprise the most sanguine.

With the pleasure of skating at The
Dalles, usually comes the inconvenience
r
of walking almost a mile before good ice
is reached and many who would other
wise enjoy it, are compelled to forego the
sport for lack of time. Yesterday this
difficulty waa obviated, and a large
crowd of skaters found the ice at the
edge of the river at the foot of WaehiDg
ton etreet in good trim,' and made the
most of it. It waa of short duration,
however, for bad not the ekating been
spoiled by the channel, for the Regn
lator, the snow would have done the
work. We should not complain, though,
for this has been an exceptional year
in this line. -
It is gratifying to parents and, friends
of our boys at Manila that among the
names of the dead and wounded ot the
recent conflict, not one of the names of
the Second Oregon appears.' let we
imagine we can hear the boys saying
"Ob that we might have been' in the
thickest of the fray," for their discontent
has been, caused from the fact that there
waa no fighting to be done; the inactiv
ity of the situation seeming to be unen
durable. 'No doubt they will yet have
ah opportunity to show their metal,
they are not now in an encounter. And
when they do, Oregon will again be
auiong the bravest. While the sym
& MAYS.
pathiee of the entire state is with them,
and hopes and prayers are that not one
will be numbered among the slain, we
would not see them shirk a single duty
nor fear the foe. And they will not.
The workmen engaged in cutting a
channel for the Regulator to pass
through in reaching a -.nook further up
the river, where she will be secure from
the ice jam, have undertaken a difficult
job, but expect to see her in a eafe posi
tion by tomorrow afternoon.- They' are
at present sawing off immense chunks
of ice and with the aid of large hooks,
1 pulling them under the body of ice, well
out of the way. It is no Email task to
manage ice of the thickness -of five or
six inches, and as a number of Bkatera
watched them yesterday they expected
each moment that "ome workman would
lose hia footing and fall in, aa they
worked on the very edge of the ice.
This has been an extremely bard and
expensive winter for the D. P. & A. N.
Co., which has been compelled to en
counter the inconvenience of three
winters in one.
A queer character has been making
the rounds of the city for several even
ings past, and inquiring at the various
homes for a night's lodging. He haa a
weird appearance, is tall and thin, with
bushy brown whiskers, and has long
hair. He claims to be an evangelist and
that the Lord requires his people to
ma&e provision lor his wants. At one
place be ' surprised the man ' who
answered his knock at the door, by ex
claiming "Peace be unto this house,"
and with the next breath asking for a
bed. The gentleman refused to admit a
stranger into his home, but offered him
money with which to procure a lodging;
but hia visitor refused say ing, "Bless you,
man', I can't take your money, The Lord
will provide." He seems to believe that
the Lord takes care of those who depend
on their neigbbore, and haa since been
doing the town, frightening many ladies
whom he haa demanded conversations
with. No donbt he is insane; but al
though the attention of the authorities
has been called to hia queer actions, he
has succeeded in eluding them.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
O ill- Correspondent Airs Bis Views Con
cerning; Legislation at Salem.
Salem, Or., Feb. 6. (Special to The
Chronicle. The press statement bere
that Joa. A. Wright, of Union county,
was to supercede the present superin
tendent of the penitentiary, is very pre
mature, and, in fact, is liable to be alto
gether talk. '
The facta of the case are that Governor
Geer has promised no appointment iu
that direction, and all such rumors
eminate from ' those who believe that
they have all power with the state's
chief executive, and by their wind and
gall can force or coerce him to do their
Didding. We do not doubt that Mr.
Wright would make an excellent officer
at that institution, yet we are inclined
to distrust the statement of such choice
as being a little short of the truth.
The past week has been taken up at
the state capital by measures, the more
pointed of which have been either back
ed or bucked by lobbyists. Among the
most conspicuous cases were the . Daly
echool bill, the sugar beet bounty bill,
the bill fixing salaries of district attor
neys, and the great medical bill. This
latter measure is a scheme, whereby the
the so-called "regular school" physicians
were to be declared by law "the only
doctors which might practice medicine
in the state. The matter will be prop-
ferly sat upon when it reaches tbe house
The district attorneys are very eager
for that law to be enacted whereby they
can receive more money for tbeir serv
ices, from the public treasury, but they
may get a dampener put on their un
holy ambition when an august assembly
of lawmakers eys "nit."
This will apply also to the gang that
is trying to run the sugar beet bounty
steal through the senate. It won't go,
unless your correspondent has counted
some member against it twice.
The Daly echool bill will undoubtedly
become a law, although a dozen repre
aentativea ot tbe book trusts are urging
every available means to, in some man
ner, cripple the measure, so that it
might become inoperative.
Several meritorious measures are up
for consideration, relative to the fishing
industry, educational matters, and re
