WEATHER OF DECEMBER.
Concerning the Petition of the Ba0,iRePort8 of R S- Dry80"' V0'""'
UDservcr.
The weather for the last month of
gagemen to Supt, O'Brlan.
No action has yet been taken on the
petition defining tho territory of bag
gagemen at tho O. B. & N. depot.
Several weeks ago a petition was cir
culated and largely signed to keep
all operators of truck and baggage
wagons off the platform at the depot.
This was gotten up by the operators
of wagons to glvo each man an equal
show at hauling baggage when trains
came In.
The rule Is now for every man to
rUBh onto the platform and wrestle
for the business. In this way passen
gers are somewhat harrossed by a
half dozen baggage men rushing up
to them at a time and asking If there
is any baggage to haul. This caused
some of the truckmen to complain
and most of them agreed to sign a pe-
tltion, send It to Superintendent
O'lirian and navo an order Issued
compelling the truck haulers to keep
off the platform while trains are in.
The men would then have to remain
at their wagons and only solicit the
hauling of baggago as passengers
passed them to come up town.
the year 1902 was varied. The cold
est day of tho month was the 14th,
when the minimum temperature
stood just 22 degrees, or eight below
freezing. Tho warmest day of the
month was the 1st, when 58 was the
maximum temperature. Thero was
only one frost during the whole
month. That was on the 29th,
Following is a table furnished by

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Blind Child Passes Through This City
En Route to Salem School Trage
dy of a Miner's Death Recalled.
One of the saddest cases of accl
dent ever occurring In Eastern Ore
gon Is that of the 12-year-old son of
William W. Reeves, of Prairie City.
Last November an old mining man
and pioneer by the name of R. H. J.
Comer, called the boy to him and-
banded him a sack, stating that it
contained a fresh lot of gum which
he was going to open up, but the boy
objected, saying that they were dyna
mite caps and started to run. The
man grabbed the boy by the shoulder
and deliberately hold him while he
emptied his pipe into the Back. An
explosion followed which resulted in
the denth of the miner and badly in
jured the boy, putting out both eyes.
The little fellow is very brave and
hopes to recover tho sight of one eye.
He passed through Pendleton yester
day with his father on the way to
school at Salem, and when In Port
land will consult the best physicians
and oculists. Mr. Reese states that

BUT SEVEN SURVIVORS.
Members of Oregon's Statehood Con
vention Are Slowly Disappearing.
There are few of the 60 men who
romposed the convention which pre-
i-area uregon lor statehood left and
tho weight of years are upon them.
The surviving members number but
seven and are: Henry B. Nichols, rep
resenting iienion county; William H.
Packwood, Curry; George H. Williams
(present mayor of Portland), and La
fayette Drover. Marlon: Reuben P.
Boise, Polk; R. V. Short and John n.

The members of that convention
were elected In June, 1857, and mot

Health Board Issues a Notice Prohib
iting the Opening of Schools Also
Notify Parents to Keep Their Child
ren at Home.
No schools will open In Pendleton
Monday morning. This order was
innde this morning by the health
board and is tho result of a spread of
acnrlet fover.
The Pendleton public schools and
Sisters' school Intended to reopen
Monday and tho Pendleton Academy
Intended to open In the now acade
my building Wednesday, but nil will
remain closed one and perhaps two
weeks.
Thn notice Issued by tho health
board reads that no schools, public or
nrlvnto. will reopen until notified
through tho press. Parents arc also
notified not to allow children to at
tend nnv nubile gatherings for the
time being.
Whllo the scarlet fover has no very
solid hold on the city and little nlarm
Is felt, it was thought best to keep
school closed for a while. Several
cases of tills disease has developed
nmong children within the past fow
days and It Is thought that the con
tagion was In the schools before clos
ing for the holidays. This being tho
case, the health board thought best
to keep tho schools closed a week or
two longer than Intended for the hol
idays. This will give a chance for tho dis
ease to dovelop where any have been
exposed nnd they will then be quar
nntlned and kept from school. On the
other hand, If tho schools wore allow
ed to open Monday and the children
who have Leon exposed were to at
tend, thoy would expose the rest of
the school and an epidemic might be
tho result. The hoard decided that
It was better to close a week now
than to have to close them several
weeks later In ense a spread did oc
cur. Everything Is being dono by the
health officers to nvert a possible epi
demic of this disease. It Is said to
be Jr. an embrlnnlc state now mid
with proper precaution It can be eas
ily checked.
MAKING OIL LOCATIONS.
Rush of Prospectors Does Not Sub
side With Winter's Arrival.
Word just received from Malheur
county states that there Is a rush of
oil locators In tho field who today
will make an effort to relocate their
holdings which have expired with the
year on account of development work
not having been done. Several of the
Baker City companies have done their
development work, but others have
not and relocation is necessary.
It Is learned that there will be a
large amount of work done the com
ing year nnd that aetual borinc for
oil will begin in several different
places in the Malheur field. Mining
men there predict a remarkable year
both In oil nnd quartz mining. The
Malheur City camp is very active, a
iot oi new macninerv has conn n
mere ami at least three nronertlPH
win uo aeveioped on a lnrco scnle.
Malheur promises to be ono nf fh
wealthiest counties in the state nnrt
when her Irrigation plans have been
carried out. her farm nroducts win
excel in value and quality the pro-
