Ex-Governor Moody iiad a letter from

Tho opon season for trout Ashing will
commence April 1. Every fisherman
should keep in mind this clause of the
law: "It is unlawful at all times to
take trout, char or salmon less than five
inches in length. Taking of Eastern
brook trout and Lock Luven trout at any
timo is prohibited."
Tho O. K, & N. has made a special
rate of one and ono-hfth fare for the
round trip from IJiggs and points inter
mediate, to Portland, for the occasion of
Bryan's visit. It is probable that a
similar rate wilt be made to Penldeton
and Maker City from Biggs, when Bryan
appears at those places.
There appears to ho a general impres
sion that this section is to experience an
early spring and a hot summer, says tho
Telegram. Portland is not acctiBtomed
to very tropical weather, but if it ma
terializes tills summer and tho low rates
to Astoria continue in effect, thousands
of people will journey to the coast.
One of the most beautiful sights we
have seen this spring in tho line of
flowers, is a magnolia in full bloom.
While walking up Fourth Btreetour at

Tho funeral of Albort Iredonck, tho
eldest sou of Mr. and Mrs. A. Bettiugen,
took placo this morning at 11 o'clock
from the Catholic church, and was large
ly attended by relatives and friends of

preached an appropriate Bormon at tho
church, whllo at thn grave tho cere
monies wore short. The florul tributes
were most beautiful and more than
covered the grave.
The Pendleton Commercial Associa
tion has taken In (10 new members, and
enough prospective members aro in sight
to bring up the total to 100. A commit
tee has been appointed to take up th-J
matter of tho construction of a fine now
building, to be used jointly as a city hall
and a home for the association. An
eligible site Is in view and plauB are
partly perfected for submission to the

Up to the hour fixed for the afternoon
session of thu Republican county con
vention everything had gone so quietly
and harmoniously that one of the
"prodigals," who recently returned to
"the fathor'e bouse," having a vivid
recollection of the Kilkenny-cat morali
ties of poiulist and fusion conventions,
dec.arcd on his word of honor, as a re
pentant prodigal, if they could not
raise some little bit of a shindy, just to
remind him of old times, he would be
compelled to go back to hie old love.
Tho streets are in a good condition and
the weather most admirable, so why not
have a drill of the fire department?
Since the new apparatus has arrived
there has not been a dtpartment drill
and many of these who subscribed
toward the fund to purchase, equip and
place tho apparatus, have not had the
opportunity to see the working of the
same. But tho most necesnary part of
the drill is in making the firemen more
familiar with the handling of their in
dependent company's equipment, and
they would become more proficient in
working in conjunction with other com
panies. Work on the steamer Relianee, which
is being built at Supple's yard in Port
land, for The Dalles, Portland & Astoria
Navigation Company, is being rushed
with all possible speed. The pleasant
weathor that has prevailed during the
past 10 days, has greatly assisted the
ship carpenters and the boat will be
practically finished while still on the
ways. She will he launched early next
week and when she strikes the water
she will be ready for the inspectors,
The engineers are up with their work
and all they have to do is to put in the

T. J. Maupin, one of Hon. H. H.
Dnfur'e rangers on the Bull Run district,
writes to Mr. Duftir under date of March
20, saying that he had just been up Mt.
Hood as tar as the crater and that there
is very little snow on the mountains
tills year, und south of Mt. Hood hardly
any at all. Mr. Yoeum, who lives at
Government Camp, told Mr. Maupin
that he has not seen as little snow In
the mountains at this time of the year
in 20 years. Wild flowers are In bloom
and the grass is growing rapidly. One
week of good weather, Mr. Maupin
thinks, will take all tho enow oil' the
Barlow rond. At Government Camp
only 12 inches remained, while from the
toll gate to Laurel Hill was as dry as
timber. There is no snow on the Bull
Run reserve and very little around it.
Mr. Maupin expects tho Barlow road to
he open for travel about the first of
April.
