The author, who has verified all her

forms the basis of this author's advice
to all women who wish to be pretty.

Judge E. C. Bronaugh, one of the
ablest attorneys in the Northwest, died
at his home in Portland Monday night.
About three months ago he was taken
ill and in January contracted the grippe,
which hastened the end, although he
had recovered sufficiently to walk about
three blocks Sunday to the home of his
son. Judge Bronaugh was 68 years of
age, and at the time of trie retirement
from the legal profession was of the firm
of Fenton, McArtbur & Bronaugh. The
funeral will take place this afternoon at
the Presbyterian church in Portland.
From C."M. Grimes, who has just re
turned from Southern Idaho, we learn
that the loss of stock throughout Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, ' although bad,
is not nearly so severe as was reported.
The loes is principally among range
horses, which the settlers do not feed,
having only enough feed for their valu
able stock. Many of them deem that it is
best to allow these horses to die, so that
the grass may be saved for the sheep
and better class of stock. It seems like
cruelty to animals to reason thuely, but
they say it is merely a question of the
survival of the fittest.
JN. U. .Evans, one of the county com
missioners, in speaking ot Hood JtCiver's
fruit crop says: "The papers have
greatly exaggerated our loss, being in
formed perhaps by those who look on
the dark side. ' While many of the
peaches are killed, a few of the apricots
and a very few prunes, we still" have a
fairly good crop of each, and our apple,
pear and strawberry crop will be ex
cellent." He also Bays: "Bring all the
visiting "editors down and we'll show
them what good fruit is." Mr. Evans
knows whereof he speaks , being inter
ested in fruit raising iir Hood Biver.
Xhe Portland lelegram. this morning
contained a dispatch from Washington
headed "Unconfirmed Postmasters," and
among other things contained, the fol
lowing: "So far as the department
records up to date show, nominations to
thirteen offices were not confirmed, these
including The Dalles,. Or., and Ogden
Utah. The only one of the nonconfir
mations in doubt is the Oregon office.
This telegram caused much comment
among'our citizens, who were assured
by Sunday's Oregonian that Mr.. Bid
dell's appointment had been confirmed
by the senate Saturday. No word to
the contrary baa been received by him
or others who are anxiously awaiting
the truth of the report. It is thought
by many to be a mistake, and advices
will probably be received from Wash
iogton this afternoon, which will decide
the matter. In the meantime, as Mr
Biddell did not seek the office, but the
office the man, bis friends are anxious
that he be not - disappointed regarding
his confirmation by the senate.

NEW SEWER SYSTEM-
Great Meed to Be Supplied Help It
Along
At the last council meeting a special
committee on sewers was appointed,
composed of Councilmen Knelt, Johns
and Stephens, and a meeting called for
aat night, when their report was to be
received and acted upon.
Accordingly, Mayor Nolan and the fol
lowing councilmen met last night :
Kuck, Keller, Clough, Johns, Gunning,
Stephens, Michelbach and Johnston.
No business coming up except that for
which the meeting was especially call
their report was at once read-, the
stance of which was as follows :
That a complete new sewer svstom be
put in below the bluff and on uTnion
street above the bluff. Nothing but
terra cotta pipes are to be used, the
main sewer being on Union street! into
which all other pipes empty. - Instead
of turning the corner at Second
as it now does, and emptying into
creek at the foot of Liberty street, it will
extend straight down Union, emptying
into the river below the Umatilla House,
This will be a great improvement, as
much difficulty has been caused by the
present drainage of the sewer on Liberty
street.
The committee recommended that the
cost of said sewer be paid by an assess
ment on all lots below the bluff and on
lots in the blocks bordering on Union
street on the bluff as far upas Twelttb
street. Such assessment is to be a cer
tain uniform per cent ' on the valuation
of such lots, regardless of all improve
ments on the same.
The council practically adopted the
report as offered, and in a few days The
Chronicle will give the location of the
sewers, and mOre definite information
regarding them.
. Many property owners will no doubt
consider that their assessment is already
more than it should be, and criticise the
action of the council in this regard. We
cannot think, however, that such will
be the case when the matter is properly
considered. No matter in connection
with the city's interest is more im
portant than is that of a good sewer sys
tern, and nothing is so detrimental to
the growth of that city as the fact
(which is always bound to be looked in
to when. a person is contemplating tak
ing up their residence in a place) that
the sewerage is poor. For some time
past our residents have been aware that
something must be done In this regard
tne wooden troughs in use causing no
end of trouble and expense,' and' now
that the council has taken the matter
in hand it is to- be hoped that they will
have the co-operation of every citizen
In other words that the kicks of a few
will not be allowed to overturn the
whole system.

The Damage to Wheat-
Milton, Or., March 6. Recent in
vestigation of wheat fields in the east
end of Umatilla county showed that the
damage by freezing is much lees than
was firet thought. Very little grain was
injured by frost along the foothills of
the Blue mountains, where the enow
laid deeD enough to protect it, but in
the lower parts of the valley consider

Conservative estimates place the amount,

sown grain.
