Grant County Niks: Frank Lawrence and John Frates were tried last week be i fore Justice Kulison charged with larceny ot sheep. J. hey gave bonds tor their ap pearance brfore the next grand jury. New: The republicans of Crook county arc in the minority, but tliey have only to do as lliev haVe (lone assist in widening . the quarrels in democratic ranks in or- ' dr to elect "heir nominees to some of the offices. Fact News: Word has reached here that a " cbup by the name of Lark Bilyeu recently .' stabbed another chap by the name of Rob ert Cannon at Miubell.

" , farmington Register: Walla Walla has big scandal case on hand, in which one Ward Douglas tigurrs as the main actor. Is this the same insui acce agent who created . such a sensation at .Dayton, Uregon, and . was afterwards knocked out by the woman's bnshno)! who hp (Douglas) had Men passing as his sister at Dayton? . - Unicn street, sidewalks, etc., bas been devoted to coasting by order of the city : council. Those oi our citizens, ladies or gentlemen, who use the sidewalks for the purpose of going to or from their residences do so at their peril, ibis is as it should be. W ben the spring time comes we shall advocate, that the sidewalks be given up tc bicyclists. It is cruel to force tbem to take the streets, with its mud-boles, rocks and ruts. -V. W. Journal: We have now, . what may be justly termed, excellent bracing winter weather, with about six iuches of snow, all ot which is better for the country, - than it really Ictls, for a good winter, with at least a foot of snow, always means a big harvest. All signs may fail in this country, bnt this is one, that neyer fails. Register: The weather at Farmington is not at all desirable. The mercury ranges from 6ftecn above to seventeen below zero. The high wiuds that prevailed last evening drifted the snow so ai to make sleighing bad, especially in cioss lanes. A Hue snow is tailing and indications are that we are not to have a thaw for several days. . Father P. J. Gleeson, the popular pastor of the Catbo.ic church at I'eudietoii. died Monday morning, after a brief illness. He ' was taken ill a week ago with pneumonia, but the sickness was not regarded as seri ous. His death, was a great surprise. He was 54 years old, and was ordained at the age of 24.

Jeff Jennings took the poor, fnisaken woman to the Delmonico hotel, and then reported the sad case to the Ladies Relief committee. Argus: One of ti e most peculiar incidents connected with the recent sad drowning of Dr. Minor, G. Moiris Hallerand E.Lewis Cox. was a dream that Mrs. Haller had on the night of Dcctmber 21, the night on which the drowning is supposed to have taken place. She dreamed that her hus band stood before her, with no coat or vest on, and drenched with water from head to foot. Naturally she was alarmed, and in the morning she related her experience to Mr. Haliers mother aud Mrs. Minor. Baker Demoarat: There is a great scram ble ami n some of the attorneys of the sixth Judicial District for the place made vtcant by the death of.) udge Ison. T. H. Crawfoid and J. W. Shelion.of Union, nre pushing llieir claims vigorously for the place and si bitter fight is waging between them. Krom Baker county, A. J. Law rence has Ihe endorsement of the bar and . liis ciain'iH are- entitled to the lirit consid eration by Governor Peunoyer. Baker county is rntitled to the preference and prexeuls a proper candidate in the person of JudkC Lawrence Pioneer: " 'I he survW of the mouth of the Columbia river recently nade shows that great and beneficial changes have taken p.m-e upon the bar since Ihe survey of 1885, about the lime of the commence ment ot'jeiiy work. The results are now being placed. '1 he same channel depth over the bar, whic.i w s available for a width t one and a ha'f miles in 1885, is now available lor a width of five miles, with indications 'hat a much deeper chan nel is tonuiug through about Ihe niidd.e of the bar. An exchange says that a canvas-back duck din at an habitual rate of 80 miles per hour, which is increased in emergency to 129. The mallard has a flight of 43 miles an hour; the black duck, pin-tail, widgeon and wood l'uck cannot do much better. The blue-wu g and green-wing teals can go 100 miles an hour and take it easy. The red bead can fly all day at 00 miles per nour. The gadwell can do 90 miles. The Iliglit of the wild goose is 100 miles per hour. We do not jtnow how he ascertained these facts about ihe velocity of birds; but do not doubt them, and only wish we had a few well-trained ones to transport messages this snowy weather. Albauy papeis have not yet grown tired of informing us that we will be able to ship our wool to that city next summer by rail. We earnestly hope that we shall be able to do just that very identical thine. No kick coming on that seore. But you've only five months now to get realy for us. Our great wool clip will be ready lor shipment by the middle of next Jane. Prineville News. You can calculate on sending your wool to The Dalles by wagons tor the next two or three years, and in that time we hope to help you ont by means of a railroad from this city to the interior of Grant county. Grant County News: Soda Snrini: sta tion, on Silvies river at the boad of a deep canyon, is considered the coldest Dla-e in Grant county. Frank McBean says that last winter he bad two thermometers, one haneins below the other, and both froze no. Last summer during the hot spell the up per one bursted, so this winter found nun witn only one. Friday night, however, the weather grew colder and colder, until, the mercury olmot disappeared iu the bulb. and in its efforts to get further down it broke off a ten-penny nail on which the thermometer hung, when the whole business fell to the floor. . In the sudden death of Mr. Jolinathan P. Bnwn at Waldron, Crook county, last Sun- lay, Wasco county loses one of its oldest pioneers.- Mr. Brown resided in Ihe Dalles about a quarter of a century ago, and then moved to Five Mile, on thn farm now occu pied Cy Mr. Thompson. He was the man who built the oven on the Canyon City road, and the station and postothee bas been known ever since as Bakeoyen. About three weeks ago one of bis daughters died from pneumonia, another was killed a num ber of years ago by the accidentul discharge of a shotgun, and Mrs. J. W. Matchbanks is the only remaining daughter alive. -Mr. Brown was in his usual good health Sunday morning, lit his ores, and seemed neartv ind jolly; but he died in the chair while fitting at the breakfast table.

Trains are still irregular, although an eastern and western mail was received last night. ' A number of our boys have trained "old dog Tray," and they have glorious times ieighing through the streets. The thermometer this morning indicated II degrees above zero. We hope the back bone of winter has been broken. The matter of au electric motor in this city next spring is now being canvassed with good prospects of success. The skating pond on Mill creek is nearly ready for operations, and joy will rage ram uant among our athletes in a few days. The Dalles Ice Company is cutting and packing the nicest lot of ice that has ever been cut in The Dalles. Their ice is eight inches thick and clear as crystal. Our business men are bung aroused to the true inteiests of the town, and next snm ner we' expect to see two or more man ufacturing industries in this city. Douglas, the Wa'la Walla insurance agent, arrested for assaulting Miss Turner, has been held to answer before the grand jury. - in uetault ot souu bait he is in jail. A granger came in from the country yes terday and getting full slept at night in the city jail. He is considerably ont of humor this morning because he was charged So tor a night's lodging.

The Willamette valley is enjoying a sea son ot wiuter and snow, it is no longer the land of perpetual mists, but when the old man of the seasons erects Irs throne in Eastern Oregon he frowns on Western Ore gon. Mr Fred Cross, the fireman who was in jured at Hood River a few days ago, died last night in this city at the residence ot ma parents. He was aged about 28 years, and was a young man of most exemplary char acter. Tne funeral of Mr. Chas. Howe, who died in St. Vincent's hospital last Monday from ojuries received at iiood Kiver some weeks ago, was buried yesterday aiternoon. some of the railroad employee of this city were present on that occasion. The newspaper man who penned the fol lowing knew what he was talking about: "Ihe prosperity ot a town is not graded by the wealth of its inhabitants, but the uni formity with which they pull together when any important undertaking is to be accom plished. - A man with a thousand dollars at his command and a love for bis town in his heart, can do more for the building np and improvement of it than the millionaire who locks op bis capital and snaps his fingers at home progress. Heppner Gazette: While the G. A. K. folks, their families and Iriends to the num ber of 200 were enjoying themselves in the banqueting hall at Hard man last Saturday evening, the floor gave way, ana lor a moment threatened to precipitate the crowd town into the drug store below. However, an examination proved tnat the sinking of the floor was caused by the joist turning, and the festivities wnt on, although quite a number sought the outside as a sale place. It was fortunate, .indeed, that the floor did not give way entirely, as the hot stoves in the hall and store below would have ignited the structure, changing this occasion of en joyment to one of horror. The Capital Journal, of Salem, on last Monday says: "Mr. E. Bailee, who resides within ten miles of this city, in Polk county, came into the Journal qtiica and laid upon our table n beautiful orange, that he had just plucked from the tree three hour! beforehand. Attached to the orange is a small portion of the limb npon which it tfrew, which is covered with bronze-colored leaves. The orange is smooth, of fair size, .md looks very delicious. Mr. Bailee says that his daughter owns the tree and that it now has over thres dozen fine oranges upon it. 1 be tree is tour years old and is very thrifty. He claims that oranges can be raised successfully in Oregon." Heppner Gazette: Ed. A. Whittier writes us from JUalbeur that his section bas an ayerage of about six inches of snow, but no cold weather yet. There is more moisture in the ground at present than at any tune within the past two years, and sbee p and cattlemen expect an abundance of trass next season. Sheep are in good condition, and there is not a scabby sheep in Malheur county. Cattle are in poor condition for winter, caused by lack of water last season. The Pacific Live Stock Coin p. ny are the heaviest cattle firm of that lection, and will lose thousands if the snow remains on a few weeks longer. Horse sre in good condition. Malheur's county scrip is worth 95 cents. The exoitement next soason will be the selection of apermanent county seat. tion we do not hear of the loss of any stock. Owners are generally well sup plied with hay and unless the winter con tinues unusually long their herds will come out iu good shape in the spring. Baker Reveille: A prominent stock raiser of Eagle valley says there arc about 27,000 sheep being led there th s winter, and about I0,0U0 head of cattle and horse, bhould the winter be long, hay will become very "scarce, lor there is b i about 50d tons remainiiitr unsold there. Hay is now worth $6 per tou, and if the weather continue it is liable to go up to $10 or $12 per Ion. The Stevens County Miner of Dec. 29thi said: Last Monday Mr. Becker, who lives near Loon Lake, was hauling a load of lum ber, and had with him his little stepson. Drayton A. Grover. The bov was cn top ol the load of lumber, and was leading au ex tra horse. The horses attached to the' wagon, started suddenly and Brayton was thrown from the wagon, aud the wagon wheel run over his body. He never spoke and soon passed away. Brayton was teven years, six months and eighteen days old. The citizens' meeting held last Wedi.es day evening in the court house was large ly attended. Mr. Jos. MacEnchern of this city acted us chairman, and - ad dresses were made by Messrs. O. Ik Tay lor, .los. Beezley, C E. Bayard, J. II. Crndlebuugh, Chas. Dietzel, C. L. Phil lips and others. All present seemed to be impressed with the necessity. of doing something to developc the resources of this city and vicinity. A committee was appointed to devise some menus to further Ihe progrS3 of The Dulles the coming spring. The Yaquina Republican New Year's edi tion was but halt iu usual size, ami here is its reason: "To be consistent with the eter nal fitness of things, we have decided on a reform at the beginning of the new year, and as a starter we have formed the size of the Republican to correspond with our ad vertising patronage. When in course of nun:au events it becomes necessary for us to institute another change by enlarging or climbing the golden stair of country news- paperdom we wid meet such skingle with out flinch-or fliuk. Just now it matters little to us which end of the horn comes first. We can make the tack either way without missing stays and going npon shcals. Thir, our New Yeai's issue, pre sents just as eloquent a commentary npon the businesx enterprise, prospe'ity and progress of Ytquina Bay aa does the New Year's issuo ot the Oregonian or the San Francisco Examiner of their respective cities. Yaquina Bay is ail right or will be a hun dred years hence when new generations are born. COVXCIIi PKOCEF.DIXUS. A liarei Amount or Bmtnefia Trans acted NpeelM Beawlun Iat Batnrtlaj Evening. Communicated. ' New Haven-, Conn. Jan. 2, 1S90. . Editor Timrs-Mocxtaikrbr: Since coming to New England last fall I have been impressed with the vast differ ence whieb one will find both in the people and in the country. tWhile we have the Chinaman aud tramp in the west, there is the Italian here that is equal to any nui sance which tho west can possibly afford. The Italian family work the entire force; the father and husband will have a two wheeled cart going about the street yelling the unintelligible words, "Kali par a rak," which, being interperted, means "Cash paid for rags. One can find these rag venders in all streets of the city. The rag vender's wife will be sitting on some street corner trying to cell a two cent paper and the children will have some toy or box of candy urging the passer-by to invest. This class of people ot which there are thousands here never aspire to any thing higher and are contented to live in the worst kind of dirty hovels. Ic is fe to say that one-half of the arrests in New Haven are from this class of Italians. One can scarcely realize the difference in the country uutil it has been placed under their observation, and all that seems to be lacking is to let these peo ple kuow what a country lies out west aud they would soon be traveling in that direc tion. I wish I could impress on the minda of Tho Dalles people what an immense for tune is withiu their grasp. It is the outlet to all Eastern Oregon, and at her door is enough water power to employ millions of capital, there is not a manufacturing city in JNew England that has one-half the ad vantages ot The Dalies, and see what wealth is stored in soma of these small' towns. The Dalles people must awake to their in terests and realize what is theirs if they will oiily embrace the opportunity. It should have a bridge across the Columbia; it should have street cars; it should have factories; and why not have them? It is my special delight to watch the commercial and manu facturing interest while here in the east, and am thoroughly convinced that eastern capital is seeking places in the west for in vestment, and the question is why can't The Dalles have her share? I trust the coining summer will note the change which ine Dalles has long needed. U. S. SllANK. MIMJKV Oft' FRAXK1G DAT EXTOltT. From Friday's Daily County court in session. Dr. H. A. Leavens, of Cascade Locks, is ia the city. The influenza or la grippe is quiti preval ent in Washington. Ihe D; lies enjoys tlie best slcigbirg it has lor several years. The thermometer stood 2 degrees above zero this morning. The east ami west-bound passenger trains arrived in the city hist night, . Farmers from every portion of the county report the snow" sufficient to insure good crops next year. Snow is at a great depth in the Blue mountains and it is with difficulty that the trains are kept moving. The Columbia ri-er at Arlington is frozen about 200 yards from either shore. The main rurrtnc is full of floating ice, and the river is rising bljwly. The Astoi ia Pioneer has three men killed at Arlington in the recent collision. Fortu nately there -was only one, John Hays, and the others were not seriously injured. - The west-bound passenger, last night, between Bonneville and Cascade Locks, met with an accident which detained it several hours, and in consequence there was no mail to-day. A parly of our citizens went out to Nan sine last evening. Thy left the city about hall-past 3 aad arrived at their des tination seventeen miles distant about half-past 6. They report the sleighing in excellent condition, and say the roads could pot be better. A freight train, east-bound, met with an accident yesterday between the tunnels, west of Mosier. Five cars were wrecked, and the situation was such that they could not be easily removed. This delayed the train, and the passengers were transferred and taken to this city. Baker Democrat: Altlumvh there is a great amount of snow all over this sec BY L. M'K. To the memory of Mary Francis Daven port, who died in Mosier, Or., Jan. 2, 1S90. Dear friends 3 ou're called to mourn the loss ot one you only knew to love; But 'tis Ood's voice that called ber home, To dwell with him in heaven above.

To know that now no trouble can rend her breast, Frankie U safe with her Savior, and In heaven at lest. Oh God! how mysterious, how strange are thy ways To take from us this loved one in the best of her days. Then irrasp each thought that brings relief; To her i: was the greatest bliss To lean once otore within your arms. 10 leei again each tender loving kiss. Be thankful that her dyins: hours Were with the friends she valued dear; Although die could not bid ou all adieu bhe le.t this world without a fear. Tis with sorrow we think of dear Frankie here, Of her parents, bruthers and sisters so dear. Ohl.merc'iul Father, du Tnou guard them siiil Till they bow in submission to Thy holy will. Dear Frankie kind and good, thy Master knows best; lie na9 tuaeu tnee notae irom my laoors to rest; JS'ot left us forever, just passed on before, And soon we shaa meet you on Canaan's bright tbore. 'Tis a meet bitter thing to say farewell When we lay them away in the casket to rest; But God. in His in finite mercy doeth well, lie gave them, lie Likes them, and He knows best. And while our heads are bowed in grief. And while our hearts sigh for relief, We'll brsathe the prayer "God's will be done," Aud try to meet Frankie in a better, brighter home Frankie was laid t rest by loving Mends, Sorrowing parents, brothers and sisters, In the little quiet country cemetery May this lovtd ou$ rest iu peace.

On Friday, 31 inst., the remains of the late Mrs. Mary A. Floyd (whose death we recorded in our last issue) were, after a sol emn Requiem Mass removed from. St. Peter's church for interment under the aus pices of the Catholic Knights of America. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the procession was one-of the largest that ever left this city. Her life was one of parity, charity, righteousness and of peculiar submission aud devotion to the Catholic church. Iu charitable, parochial and Catholic societies, sodalities and confraternities, she was al ways in the front rank, and never did she desert then:' dunng their useful eifisteuce. Those that survive her must mourn the loss to their organizations of an able advocate and an energetic worker in the cause, char ity, humanity and religion. ' Rejuiescat in pace.

Ellilor TlME-S-MdUNTAINEKK Thrift" and enterprise is manifested all around us in railroad, manufacturing and mining enterprises. Many of the towns and cities of the Willamette and Eastern Oregon are incorporating for the purpose of building themselves roads to the sea, and to the main lines of railroads, which will have a sere effect to send these little towns ahead toward the dimensions of cities in a very short while. If it did not look like a home growl 1 should s? y that we are behind in the enterprise that ia manifested elsewhere. If public opinion and enterprise was prop erly excited at The Dalles it would have a tendency to direct capital toward this point, and to build roads to the interior from here; and manufactories at this point, We ask also to have the question of the forfeiture of the railroad land agitated, and the wish and expectation of the people laid before congress in this, that they have the right to 'obtain by purchase or otherwise, not to exceed 320 acres upon which they have put valuable improvement. Aud a united interest and effort in an open river We hope all the papers printed along the river will vie with each other in publishing all that is said in congress and out, too, and speeches made for and against an open river. For if ever there was a time when success in these matters was promising, it is now. nfor mation in regard to our wants should be sent to our members of congress from societies, boards of trade, and all others who feel an interest in building np cur homes, our cities and our towns, - United action in all mutual interesrs is what we need to insure success, and almost all cur interests are mutual if properly examined. We already see hopetul signs in the ennrt to unite the labor reform societies in order to work together for the better protection of the interests of the laboring classes, and we hope aud ask merchants, mechanics, stockmen, farmers and business men stand in with each other against monopolies, trusts and all other combinations that bear heavily upon all. but heaviest upon the producer. X but voice the wish ot ari your readers, Mr. Editor,. when I ask you to publish a full account of the struggle that is now taking place between illegal corporation and the laws that are being enacted for their suppression, especially the proceedings in the struggle in the state ot Missouri, where twenty-eight corporations have had their charters revoked, a mnior,ty of whom are live, business corporations, and others will also be brought to trial unless tbey file their affidavit that they are doing a business. - for Infants and Children.
