the Crook County Journal, and expressed
a desire to feel a shock of electricitv. The

wanted more. He got it. He waB told
to take hold of a certain wire carrying
220 volts of electricity and strike another
wire quickly with his extended finger
which ho readily did, and at once gave
a war whoop and started on the run for
the agency. He hasn't returned yet.
Tho members of tho Commercial

Thursday night they played with tho
Illihees at Salem and were beaten, while
last night tho Y. M. C. A. team at Port
hind carried away tho laurels. Tonight
our club will play at Astoria and wo
hope they will regain their equilibrium
(for to meet with such defeat they surely
must be oil' their feet) and return with
at least ono game to their credit, and a
good score besides.
The Department of Superintendence,
that met in Salm Dec. 27-2Sth, 160!),
resolved that tho stato board of educa
tion btf requested to furnish lists of
questions for the examination of gradu
ates from the eighth grades throughout
the state thrcj times a year, viz: in No
vember, February and May. This is n
move In tho right direction and will be
carrying out tho object of tho statu
course of study. The examinations will
be held under rules prepared by the
state board and are to be conducted by
numbers instead of by name. The
county board of examiners are to issue
certificates of graduation to each pupil
who completes the eighth grade work
satisfactorily. This will be a great in
centive to pupils In tho country schools.
Arrangements have been completed
by the government, says the Telegram,
for sending homo the bodies of soldiers
killed Iu the Philippines, Oregon's
dead will reach San Francisco early in
the spring' In answer to a letter of in
quiry from Captain C. E. McDonell,
formerly of Company II, the United,
State quartermaster says: "By direc
tion of the quartermaster-genera), you
are respectfully informed that a corps
of undertakers and skilled euibalmere is
now in the Philippine islands, engaged

clu'o, Cat,, as rapidly as practicable, the

It is generally conceded among people
who profess to know that tho portgagu
road across tho river will surely he
built. There has always been a great
deal of doubt and uncertainty regarding
this project and there still is, but from
the manner in which the work is being
pushed forward now and the repeated
assertion of tho promoters that the
thing is a go, leads one to the conclusion
that by next summer tho portago road
around tho dalles rapids will be a
reality.
If such turns out to te the case the
people of The Dalles should not let the
opportunity Blip of making this place
f the terminal point of the portage toad.
At small expense a bridge could be built
at the narrows above the city and the road
brought on this side. The advantages of
such a plan are obvious and many.
Docks and wharfage an angements would
be built here; labor would be employed
in trausfering cargoes from the boat to
the portage; supplies would necessarily
be bought here and in many other ways
the general business situation of the
town would be helped.
The Dalles would receive much benefit
from the advertisement of being the
terminus of tho road and as a result of
this other enterprises would undoubted
ly follow in good time.
M. J. Cockttrllne Meets With a Iiish.
A very destructive fire occured at
Waitsburg last Monday in which an old
settler of Wasco county met with a
heavy loss, and had barely time in
which to save his family.
From Mr. T. A. Hudson, who has
just returned from the scene of the con
flagration where he has been to adjust
the losses Incident to the fire, we learn
that M. J. Cockerline, who was in the
drug business at Waitsburg, lost all of
his stock, building and household be
longings. The firo started iu a saloon next door
to the drug store, and, as it was at a
time when all were asleep, gained such
a headway before discovered that Mr.
Cockerlino and family barely escaped
with their lives, some of the children
being rescued from tho windows above
the dru store, where tho family re
sided. Mr. Cockerlino'rt loss is estimated at
$3000, whiio ho was only insured for
$750. For tho time being he wn? prac
tically destitute, and the citizens took
up a collection and presented a good
sized sum to tho unfoitunato family.
