Yesterday when the Regulator reached
the looks she had but little trouble in
going through, although the canal was
froxen over and the boat had to cut her
way through the Ice. However, today
the ice has packed in and closed some.of
the valves and it is doubtful if our old
reliable will be able to reach her harbor
of safety tonight. If she does it will be
late, but if she is unsuccessful she will
attempt it again tomorrow and in all
probability be ready to leave here s
uiual Monday morning.
A telegram was reodved today by the

Brown and Wilson who were sentenced
to serve eight years in the penitentiary
were taken to Salem this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Sexton and City Marshal
Hughes. The guards took no chances
with the horse thieves, and they pro
ceeded on their way well ckakled and
handcuffed. By the time their sentence
expires they will probably have decided
that it is better to keep in the straight
and narrow path, than to wander in the
highway of lawlessness.
Telegraph, telephone and electric light
companies have appealed to tbe author
ities of Pendleton to protect them from
the tin-sign lackers, who persist in de
facing their property by tacking their
advertisements ou the poles in the street.
It would be a good thing for the com
panies in The Dalles to emulate the ap
peal made by tbe owners of property in
our sister city. The poles in our streets
are covered with tin signs, posters,
cards and advertising matter of sundry
and divers kinds, that is anything but
beautiful although we suppose it
answers the desired purpose for it
surely attracte the eye.
This morning Alva Simmons was ar
raigned before Judge Bradsbaw upon
the charge of larceny in a store, he being
the saan accused of stealing some articles
from Tho8. Burgess at Bake Oven.
Simmons pleaded not guilty and his at
torneys, Huntington fc Wilson filed a
demurrer to the indictment. The ques
tion Is an interesting one as it involves
in a measure tbe procedure under the
new law allowing the district attorney
to file information against suspected
parties instead of having them indicted
by tbe grand jury as formerly. D. J.
Malarky, of Portland, is assisting Dist.
Atty. Jayne.
In case of fire of course all should do
their beet to subdue the flames or give
their help in any way necessary. How
ever, firemen as a rule go immediately
to where their apparatus is housed and
place themselves in readiness to lend as
sistance. When yesterday's alarm was
sounded a number of the firemen belong
ing to companies be'ow tbe bluff got a
toam and ran to the Mt. Hood Hose
company's house, got out their cart and
weut to the scene of the conflagation
without even a member from the com
pany mentioned. Quite a number of
the boys were laughing about the iu
oldent and remarked they remembered
hearing "Better late than never" but in
this instance the Mt. Hood company
was well, "out o" sight."
People of Tbe Dalles are contemplating
the establishment at that point of a
.wool-scouring mill, and they are likely
to have it erected and In operation before
Portland people get a woolen mill started
Even if they do, there will be plenty of
room and opportunity in Portland for a
big woolen mill. The Dalles is a most
suitable location for a wool-scouring
plant, and it would be of much benefit
not only to that city but to the many
woolernwers who annually haul some
10,000,000 pounds of wool to that point
for shipment. It would save paying
freight on some 3000 tons of dirt and
grease, amounting to over $100,000 a
year. Telegram.
After holding the attention of the
court yesterday afternoon the case of the
State vs. J. H. Preston, charged with
larceny in a dwelling, came to an end
this afternoon when the j'iry returned
a verdict of not guilty. Preston was
indicted for the larceny of some clothing
from the room cf E. Jacobsen, and the
case attracted considerable attention.
Yesterday afternoon was taken up with
the introduction of testimony, and in
the evening District Attorney Jayne
begau tbo argument for the slate, being
followed by Ned H. Gates, who made
the opening speech for the defense.
Tnis morning Fred W. Wilson made the
closing argument for the defense, while
Mr. Jayne closed for the state. The
jury retired at 11:15, and at 1:43 re
lumed with a verdict of not guiltv.
An OP" River.
Stcamboatingon the Middle Columbia
and Snake river will no doubt be sus
pended within a day or two, arording
to a report in the Telegram. Zero
weather prevails at all points on the
Snake and the river is expected to close
at any time. Cold weather has pre
vailed for several days and jesterday
shore ice waB forming sb far down as the
Cascades. If the weather continues cold
for three days longer there is no doubt
but what steamers of The Dalles, Port
land & Astoria Navigation Company
will be forced to tie up. I he weather
bureau predicts a continually falling
temperature, with no sign ot abating for
three days. Aetorinn.
The Astorian has been misinformed in
some manner for there lias been no
shore ice between this point and the
Cascades this winter, and it will have to
get lecidedly colder than it is at present
before there will be any. There is not
much danger of the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s
boats tying up for they usually find
some method of keeping the river open
when there is no floating ic, and there
has been none this winter.
untees ine uniorseen arises we are
pretty eure of an open river the balance
of the winter, and of daily boat eervice
as usual.

Voters are registering slowly and will
likely put the matter off until the
eleventh hour. Many say there's plenty
of tune yet, and so put off and will forget
to register until too late.
The law regarding registration will
need amending in a few particulars by
tbe next legislature, and it might pos
sibly be well to so amend it as to make
it apply only to incorporated cities and
towns. Even in a city like The Dallee
many voters will neglect to register, but
in the larger towns such a law is neces
sary even if many qualified electoie are
barred out through their own careless
ness or laziness. But in the sparsely
settled districts a still larger proportion
of votes is likely to be lost, and in such
localities there is not so much need of
the law.
In a country precinct everyone is
known and It is not easy or common for
repeaters to operate. But whether any
distinction should be made or not It is
certain that the total vote this year will
be smaller by a considerable per cent
than it would be without the law.
Every good citizen should desiie to
vote once and no more, and ought also
to comply cheerfully with the registra
tion law, the object of which is to make
honest electors votes effective.
