Lewiston Teller, 8th : The rivers have
been so full of ice during the past ten
days that but one ferry could cross acd
that about four miles above this place.
Of course we do not need bridges across
our rivers. .
We may consider the backbone of the
winter broken, bumcient ice has been
put up for summer's consumption, the
fall-sown grain is in excellent condition,
and no complaints will be made if the
reign of wthier ceases.
A merry crowd congregated on Union

selves iu first class style, coasting down the
bill. Coasters ran tbeir sleds from the new
school house to the corner of Second street,
a distance of seyen blocks.
The ice on the river to-day cannot be
crossed with safety. In many places the
water has flown over, and the reckless
individual who attempts to make the road
from shore to shore is very apt to exper
ience a cold bath for his trouble.

Eugene Guard: About G.OOO.OGO feet of
saw logs are jammed in the mouth of the
Mohawk and the several owners are in
Eugene seeking to formulate some plan
by which the logs can be divided, ana the
loggers can get their pay. The logs are
inextricably mingled, and it is likely that
owners will have to diyide them pro rata.
The creek is full of logs for two miles
from its mouth where it empties into the
JlcKeozie. A portion of the logs will be
lield in the Mohawk until spring. About
all the legal talent of Eugene has been en

4h rjitire proceedings will be published as
oou a they can be had, aud the Ixmndaries
of each pr.'u.-inct and road district will ap

Salem Statesman; Wednesday afternoon
some 2UU persons gathered at the race
grounds south of Independence to witness a
foot race between W. M. Martin, a Mc-
Minnville sprinter, and Harry Gilbert, a
resident of Independence, recently from the
east. The track was scraped out of the
enow and was ICO yards long. The stakes
were $250 a tide. A bad start wis made
by Gilbert, and Martin got at least ten feet
start; Gilbert crept op on Martin, and
when within thirty feet of the goal was
almost abreast, when Martin fell.. A few
feet further Gilbert fell, and both scram
bled to get under the line first. The judges
decided it no race, and after much quarrel
ing it was decided to ran it over at Mc
Minnville on Saturday the ISth. Consider-
Lie excitement existed among the betters,
and some went on the train asking that
their stakes be paid back instead of being

the devouring element. The first discovery
of the fire was made by Mr. D. L. Cates,
who, while sitting in his room in the second

Fossil Journal.
The snow has laid on the ground since
January 1st. Not more thau six inches
has fallen on the level at Fossil. There
has been the best sleighing and coasting
that we have had for several seasons, and
most everyone has partaken of the sport in
some way. Wednesday night the weather
turned warmer, aud there was a slight
chinook, and at this writing (Thursday)
there are indications ot a chinook stili.
The. sheep men have been feeding since
the snow fe !1, but range horses and cattle
are not generally being fed yet, except the
more domestic ones that remain nenr at
home, or come up in a storm. In pastures
that have been fenced for a season or so,
there is plenty of grass above the snow,
esneciallv on the hi'l tops and southwest
sides, where the light snow has blown
away, leaving the ground entirely bare
One or two' of our townsmen went out to
their pastures this week to see it it was
necessary to feed hay, and reported that
they fonnd the stock doing well, with
plenty of bunch grass in sight yet. How
ever, a great deal of the outside range was
eaten so closely that there is no show for
cattle to live, nnd unless outside stock are
gathered and led, or betake themselves
to the high points, as stock raised on the
range do, there will be considerable loss.

to considerable credit for keeping the fire
under control.
For awhile it was believed ths fire would
creep through the alley and destroy the
block. But the roof of the buildings were
covered with about three inches of snow.
aud this stopped the conflagration from
spreading by means of sparks.
About balf-past one the fire was con
sidered controlled, and the people breathed
freer. The firemen hud kept it to one
building, and starting above and burning
downward it did not gather the force as if
it started below and burned upwards.
As soon as it was ascertained that the build
ing was doomed, the firms of W. H. Moody
i Co. and L. Rorden & Co. commenced to
move their goods. The crowd which ran
into these stores with the best motives im
aginable, in tbeir excitement, handled goods
in a very careless manner, and considerable
loss resulted therefrom. Their losses con
sequently will be very large. Mr. H. Sol
omon, although occupying a brick adjoining
the burned buildings, had a large quantity
of goods damaged by water. The occupants
of the upper rooms lost a large portion ot
their furniture and personal property.
Some friends went into the offices of Dr.
Waters and Dr. Boyd, and took cut the
surgical instruments, medicines and boods.
The same good work was performed for Dr.
Rinehart. Dufur & Watkins, occupying
the adjoining room in the brick on Hash'
ington street, had all their valuable papers
desks and library removed, but with con
siderable loss.

Our people generally kept cool, and there
were very few esses ot unnecessary excite

and we have heard of none who removed
goods where the necessity did not exist,
The firemen were the true heroes ef the oc
casion. Whether on the stone walls in the
face of the filames, or in rooms almost suf
focated with smoke, they knew tbeir duty
and performed it willingly and gallantly.
The citizens appreciate their gratuitous
efforts on such occasions, and hold them in
hieh resDect.
Yesterday we walked over the building
and found the lower stories in good condi

this winter will be comparatively small.
Review.
At the present time the weather is quite

On New Year's day the gunners of Gray
Butte and Haystacks had a match hunt, re
sulting in a victory for the latter. The
score was, Haystacks team, 2265 points;
Gray Butte team, 790. They will have an
other hunt soon
If somebody would kill off about one
thousand dogs, more or less, he would con
fer a favor on the residents of this town
who want to sleep of nights, and also make
life more pleasant for the old cows that
range in the streets.
Although the present snow is disagreea
ble and may cause some loss ot stook.itjwill
result in benefit to the country, for abund
ance of snow is piling np in the mountains,
which will make plenty of water in the
streams next season and will insure good
crops.
C. W. Elkins, S. M. Courtney and Joe
Faulkner were down from Beaver last
Thursday. They report ten inches of snow
at Beaver, and everybody feeding stock.
Coming across from Crooked river to Ochoco
they encountered snow drifts five feet deep
on the hill north of A. B. Webdell's place.
For the last three years Crook county has
sent out of the country each year no less
than 3150,000 for breadstutfs. What other
county in the state could stand such a drain
upon its wealth for this one article of food
and still be in a good flourishing condition?
Every season Crook county raises its own
breadstuffi) it means a saving of about $U0,-
000 to the people. Present prospects indi
cate that crops will be good next season.
owing to the soil being thoroughly wet, and
if expectations are fulfilled, money ought to
be plentiful another year.

A Sad Case.
The saddest case of the Enoch Ardeu
kind is that recorded of a Missouri man,
which took place lately. One day iu the
year 1861 his wife sent bim out to get an
armful of wood, but he walked to town,
where he enlisted and went away to the
war. When the war closed he drifted
away to California and Mexico. II is
wife waited five or six years, then, con
cluding that he was dead, she married
again. 1 be sccoud Husband died in lny,
and in 1882 she led another blushing
groom to the altar. About a month ago
the original uusuana came tuuiberiug
buck, but there was no glad smile for
him. The wite looked over her shoulder
at him from where she sat by the stove,
and asked him it he had got that wood
yet Then the third husband came in,
and told him to "make tracks, an' muke
'em lively." "Frailly," exclaimed the
first husband, "thy name is woman!"
Then he weut out, and the third husband's
dog chased him to the forks of the road.

. Assessors' Convention.
Governor Pcnnoyer has sent ont the fol
lowing letter from tbe executive office to
the assessor of each county. It reads as
follows:
Salem, Or., Jan. 8th.
Mr. :
It has been suggested that a convention
of assessor of the various counties of Ore
gon should be held for tbe purpose of secur
ing, if possible, a more nniforin apd equita
ble assessment of property throughout the
state. Pursuant to a lequest made, I would
suggest that such a convention should be
held at Portland, on Tuesday, Febniary-.11,
1890, and I would request that you be pres
ent at such meeting. As tbe result of such
a convention would undoubtedly tend to se
cure a more uniform assessment and a more
equitable taxation of property withiu tbe
state, it is presumable that the county
court of your county would defray tbe nec
essary expenses inyolved by your attend
ance. This request will he Jnt to the assess
or of each couuty of tiie stat.
Signed, Sylvkstes Pbnnoyeb,
Governor.

A Kare Murgical Case.
Philadelphia Press.
Relays of medical students are working
to save the life of a patient in tbe Uni
versity Hospital simply by keeping a
constant, unwavering pressure on tbe
principal artery in his leg. The patient
is E. J. Dolan, and his cat e is the second
known to science. It is an ' aneurism of
tbe popiteal space a point just behind
the knee cap, and an aneurism is a point
in an artery where the walls are so weak
ened that it may break and let tbe patient
bleed to death.
Tbe patient has suffered the most ez
crutiating pain. The. pulses in his leg
shook tbe whole member. .'He could not
sleep, be wasted away, and his case wag
regarded desperate wben he was brought
to the hospital. Visiting Surgeon Asb
huist laid out as the line of treatment the
forming of a clot in the artery, which was
to be done by rutarding the flow ot blood
by pressure on the artery. There were
not enough nurses to do this, so volun
teers were called for from the medical
students. Each was assigaed for fifteen
minutes' duty on the pressure. Some of
tbe volunteers can endure the labor long
er, some not so long, for though it may
seem easy, it is hard work. Tie pat'eut
cries out with agony if tbe slightest vuii
ation of the pressure is allowed, and fif
teen minutes of tbe tense strain of not
moving a muscle unnecessarily is exhaust
ing.
Through the use of opiates tbe patient
Grot the first sleep of two hours together
he has had in a long time. Tbe pain bad
materially subsided and be is reg trded in
a fair way to recovery.

New York, Jan. 7. Tbe steamship
Hondo, of tbe Honduras and Central
America line, arrived at this port from
Grey ton yesterday, aod brought the latest
news from tbe American canal digger.
Tbe Nicaragua Canal people, it ai-
pears, realizing the great magnitude of
their enterprise, are proceeding vtry
quietly and in a conservative munner en
tirely, unlike tbe management of the
Panama Canal. The contracts and t-u -
contracts, with detailed specifications, are
being very carefully and thoroughly pre
pared. Tbe recent change of location of
the Atlantic terminus of tbe canal has
solved tbe pioblem of Greytown harbor,
which will be made one of tie best har
bors on the coast, and tbe breakwater for
its . protection bat already been' com
menced. Tbe borings from tbe Big Di
vide cut have arrived in New York, and
determine exactly the condition of the
rock to be removed. It looks now as
though the entire work would probably
be divided into three divisions. The har
bor of Greytown and tbe dredging up to
tbe first lock will constitute the Atlantic
or eastern division, tbe locks and divide
cut aud the great dam at Ochoa and' the
balance ol the work up to the lake mak
ing the central division, and tbe district;
irom the lake to the Pacific" constituting
the tbird division. The contract for the
Pacific division, it is understood, will go
to a strong California sydicate. .The
Nicaragua Canal Company has a great
many applications for contracts on ' all
divisions and parts ot the work tropj re
sponsible parlies. A strong Euglbfi syn
dicate is desirious of taking tbe divide
cut and the eas'ern locks. A dredging
contract for the eastern division is prac
tically closed, aud tbe dregs are being
buiit. The health ot the entire party of
Americans is satisfactory, and everything
that can possibly be done to push tbe
work is done in a steady and thorough
manner. ,

pick of the best, the result cannot be
otherwise than a grand display, for the
interested thousands.
. In the booths are displayed citrus and
deciduous fruits, nuts, cereals, vegetables
in all stages of ripeness, in fanciful and
attractive designs.
The Placer couuty exhibit is arranged
in a general form representing the coun
ty, aud individual contnbutioLS are not
made distinct. Yuba county is also rep
resented by a general exhibition, taste
fully arranged, of ripe fruits of marked
excellence. But one of the most remark
able schemes is from the next county
Sutter being a train of cars with an en
gine, and whole business, called "Sutler
County on Wheels," composed of oranges
and tbe engine made Irom almost every
varietcs of nuts.
Tehama county had an exhibit of bar
ley and other cereals. Solana county
was represented by very tine ripe fruits,
Sacramento mixed fruits, and so on down
the long list.
Tbe weather here hag been as clear as a
bell for the past week, and tbe fact that
an exhibition of citrus fruits, hot-bouse
flowers, and tropical trees, can bo held in
a canvas tent which is practically tbe
open air during what is considered to
be an inclement month, speaks volumnes
ler tbe northern citrus belt.
It is almost impossible to describe the
fair properly you should bo turned
loose there for a couple ot days to duly
appreciate it words cannot do it justice,
and there is not enough of the poetry of
nature in my make-up to describe it as it
deserves.
Entering the immense pavillion on the
right hnnd side are seen displayed tbe
native woods of California, which are
numerous, tastefully arranged, and next
tbera the minerals for which California
takes no second place as the world knows.
These had little to do with a fruit exhibit
of course, but, being a sort of resource,
were ingeniously arranged with fruits.
etc, to be very attractive. For instance,
there was a miniature representation of
mining as it is (not hjdraulickiog as that
is uuboo") doue, iu oranges, lemons,
figs, olives, piue apples, etc., with the
sluices and boxes, real water and all.
. Further on is a fac simile of tbe Bid.
well's Bar Bridge (the Bidwell orange is
the oldest Caiilorma orange, and Bidwell
Bar produced tbe first fruit of this kind)
with its stringers of golden oranges,
its girders and abutments as well as the
floor of the bridge itself made up, or at
least completely covered, by oranges in
such a way as to convey tbe impression
that its composition was entirely orange.
Tnen next was the Oroville public
school bouse id miniature (about fifteen
feet high) covered with oranges held in
place by wires and wire noils, not quite
visible unless closely looked at, but not
piercing the fruit except on tbe higher
cupula. Ia the construction ot this
building alone between 200,000 and 800,
000 oranges were used.
In tbe windows of tbe school, colored
pictures of tbe kindergarten kids looked
out naturally with "shining morning
face." This was labelled "Education."
Tbe next building wis "Justice," a fac
simile of tbe Butte County Court Uoute
doue on tbe same scheme, with truits cov
ering every particle of frame. (Down
through in the tanks could be seen crimi
nals behind the bars.)
Tne Slate Capitol came next, and while
I was up there a photographer caught
Gov. Watternian and bis staff in front
of tbe "orange capitol,"and snapped them
into a picture. This miniature is marked
as "Legislation."
One ol Oroville's finest churches is rep
resented next, in orange and red, and
lubelled "Religion." The grouuds, and
walks, seats, etc., around each building
are laid on in colors in exact imitation
Us original, but not as in tbe o:
with dirt and wood and stone and
but by cereals aud seeds ; wheat, barley,
oats, corn, clover and hundreds of others.
On the peat in front of tbe church is an
open Bible.
All these seem solid and secure, but I
was wondering bow tbey would look after
one of Grants' sand cyclones monkeyed
five minutes in the vicinity.
A railroad train, composed of oranges.
and run by steam is manipulated back
and forth and around among tbe many
exhibitors, and bas a turntable at tbe
corner of 'Religion." My conductor
told mo it took a turn down past there,
ana ue pointed to where it scooted down
aown, ana disappeared behind some un
known trees, into a climate I suppose
more tropical I could imagine than the
one represented where I stood I didn't
go. Taken altogether the citizens' fair is
a glimpse of fairy land, and in viewing it
all, one forgets how much skill and
science are brought to bear aided by tbe
large amount of money (the state appro
priates a large sum besides the subscrip
tion list and individual dona'ions) to pro
duce a lovely picture which seems to
have as an ultimate object the satisfying
of tbe senses.
In writing this to you I tee I have for
gotten tbe flowers and trees. They were
all beautiful, and your imagination can
not overdo the thing so imagine them.

California Fruit Fair.
MABYsvm.K,Tii , Jan. 13, 1800.
Editor Tiucs-aforxTAiniza:
. One day last week I took in the Citrus
Fair at Oroville, and as it is a sort of
fair unknown in Oregon it may be of in
terest to yon wbo are in a different belt.
Oroville is about the same distance from
Marysville as Grant is from Tbe Dalles.
Excursion trains are running hourly and
the patronage is large from all sections
of California. These Citrus fairs are
comparatively a new idea, the first one
baying been held at Sacramento about
four years ago, but tbe institution be
came so popular with tbe beauty-loving
Californians, and the accruing advertising
advantages were so apparent to tbe
orcharcjistg that', it leaped into a state
affair almost at once. The Citrus tail
proper is under tbe direct management
of tbe state, altho' there are many little
offshoots and branches which seem to
combine to make an effective whole
wben they each have bad their individual
splurge. Los Angeles has the southern
branch and San Jose the Central, while
we make a very creditable northern,
which I am told (s excelled by none of
them. Governor Waterman attends with
his suite and diplomatically remarks
that each fair ia the fairer of tbe pre
ceding one, and that the beautiful Cali
foooiaQ gins in attendance are fairest of
alL . In . anyone else it would sound
cbestnuttf, but tbe ebestnut does not be
long to the Citrus belt. Of all the fairs
that have been thrown in my way, to me
the Citrus appeals pre-eminent as the
smoothest and most beautiful.
Tbe material which goes to make np
tbe pleasing total is so plentiful and so
altogether appropriate for beautiful dis
play, that naturally it cmuot help but be
a success from an artistic point of view;
and as each section is so anxious to outdo
its neighbor, its active agents having the
Real Estate Tranaaetlona.
