Mr. B. F. Hoke bas been admitted to practice as attorney before the land office In this city. The late severe weather has caused the death of a large number of jack rabbits near Pendleion. There is about a foot ot snow at Grant, , and a foot on the level on the prairie. The , temperature is 23 above zero. - - Suow fell, first on Dec. 201U and hascon- tinned ver since. For the past two weeks the sleighing has been excellent. The river is now open between this city and Rockland; but the present snow storm will undoubtedly block it in a short time. .. The re-districting of the county, for . voting, road and school purposes. Is com- mendab.c action on the part of the county court. About three inches of snow fell last night. We., keep this item stereotyped, and will use it quite frequently during the next two weeks. "Forty-Nine Jimmie," a widely known miner, who has been in the Granite Creek country for the past thirty years, died at Kobinsonville a few days ago. Ko one so far has had the temerity to mention to us anything about the beauti lul -snow. If any such should appear there may be a coroner's inquest. The train came through from Poitland to-dav with three locomotives leading. Their appearance would indicate that they came through a "sea of ice." The train Irom Portland arrived last night and also the west-bound. ' We are now in communication with the outside world, but how long will this continue? A. B. Rothrock. a prominent citizen of the Weston neighborhood, in Umatilla county, died last Monday uiyht of paralysis, . aged 70. He leaves a wife and several sons. The UT.-3I. 3rJecial" bob-sled in front of the office this afternoon created con siderable comment. It will undoubtedly be the "boss coaster" and will be eagerly sought after. Peter Eben, a boy about 15 years of age, had his leg broken yesterday by an acci dent while coasting down Union street. He is getting along nicely, and will lie around again in u few days. The coastinsr on Union street hill last night was enlivened by the notes of the cornet. Our people are enjoying them selves, notwithstanding winter in its most horrid aspect reigns supreme. The train came in last night without be. ing preceded by the snow-plow, demon strating the fact that the road is now clear of obstructions; but the snow hich fe 1 this morning may cause a blockade, east and west of this city. Review: C. A. Gilbert came down fmm Upper Deschutes the first of the weok. Ho says the snow on Big Meadows is only about three feet deep. (Some of the settlers are out of feed and are driving their stock to the desert. Mr. J. N. Patterson took up a subscrip tion last night to keep Union street hill in proper repair In going np the hill per sons are forbidden to use the street, but must uso the sidewalk. In going down the street alone must be used. Ochoco Review: Hon. C. M. Cartwright, who was in town the first of the week, said stock on Hay creek was standing the winter well. Most all the settlers)u that section have plenty of feed, and they ex- little loss. ' T. A. Houghton, our artist, took a plio togrrph of- the rotary snow plow to-day as it came through the road between here and Portland. It literally bored iis way throuL'h an avalanche oi snow, and will be a sight long to be remembered in this semi-irui ical legion. H. B. A. Hales, one of the most promi nent farmers of the Adanr.s neighborhood, djed Tuesday morning after a short illness. Mr. Hales has long been identided with Umatilla politics, and was at one time a candidate on the Republican ticket for rep resentative. Perry Leabo, a 15-year-old son of O. H. Leabo.a prominent farmer living three miles . north of McMinnyille, is suffering from a severe case of lockjaw, resulting from a mangled wrist that was broken by being thrown from a hone some days ago while 'lassoing stock. His ecovery is doubtful. Of all the bob-sleds now running down the Union street cut the Times-Mountaineer Special beats them all. The T. if. phalanx consists of the compositors of the office, of which Mr. It. G. Davenport is captain and W. F. Grunow, lieutenant, is second in command. Even the editor has to take a bock seat and await bis tarn. Fossil Journal: The snow has not been over 6 inches deep here. It bas blown and melted off the hill tops aud steep sides, in many places entirely, ft has thawed con siderably the last three days, and the Weather is still- comparatively warm and pleasant, wjth the snow melted and settled down to about three inches on the level. Dispatches to the Oregonian dated Day ton, Jan: '4 1st, says; Trains are still snow bound and traffic suspended. It snowed Monday all day, drifting badly. The roads in places are almost impassable. Persons living in the country at some dis tance encounter much difficulty in reach ing town. Physicians have hard work in attending the sick. lilanlon was brought into court at Col fax on the 21st to receive his sentence, Judge Kuby having overruled the motion fop a u'-w trial. lie asked the prisoner if jje lad anything to say, whereupon he rose and made a similar statement to that before, in regard to drnnkenness. The judge then sentenced him to be banged March 28th. j We apprehend considerable loss of stock of all kinds this winter. Snow lias now been on the ground for over a month, and feed has been very meagre. The par tial failure of crops last season did not furnish but little feed for stock, and in consequence cattle of a'l kinds must live economically this winter. We have learned so far of great losses of sheep at Antelope, and we fear there will be more before the jVinter pnds. The Fossil Journal complains that some sneak thief in this country has for a couple pf year been engaged in defacing the brand of fiorjes apd cattle that he supposed to be strays, sometimes by burning out the whole brand, and other tunes by adding something to it so that the owner would not likely recognise it as his. The editor gives warn ing, if this is pot stopped one fine morning some sneak thief will "wake up" and tiud himself in another world, "his body sus pended from the Ijmb of a free by a rope.'' - Nearly one month ago Cliarles Eerna Jiarj started on foot lrou Succotash valley for Tflconia &)nce that time nothing has been seen or heard of him, and it is feared that be bus perished iu the snow. A searching party from the valley which arrived in Tacoroa Sunday, brought the first news of the youug man's disappear ance. Young Kernaban is the lp-y ear-old son of James Kernalmn, who was for many years a conductor on thi Northern Pacific railroad. Four years ago they moved to Succotash valley, from which place the boy made periodical trips to Tttcoina for supplies. In ordinary weather the Journey, sixtv-five miles, can bp made on loot lu it couple of days. At present the road, a rough trail at best, s nliuost Imputable, ill ninny places being buried Under ten fci t of snow, with nothing to guide the traveler but the blazer's marks on the trees. Thursday's Dally, Shoveling snow off the roofs is generally indulged in to-day, Sleighing is beiug enjoyed down by the sounding sea at Astoria. - Snow fell List night to the depth of four inches, and still continues. N. K. Cnttin, who a few years ago came near involving the United States in a war SATURDAY. with Mexico, is setting typa in Walla Walla.

Van Houten, of the Baldwin Land and Sheep Co., returned from a visit to Portland this morning. He intended to leave on the Prineville stage, but the train arrived too late. Grant Co. Newt: Cattle are suffering, We understand that Dan Camliu, of Silvies valley, gathered about a hundred head lately, aud not having hay for them the poor beasts began eating each others tails off. About 9:30 o'clock last evening a fire was discovered in the roof of the electric Jght work?, and a hole was burned through the roof before the flames were under control. It was caused by the stovepipe parting near the cieling. . These snowy days calm men's feeling. aud the police and justice courts euioy a season of hallowed ouiet No arrests have been made for several days, and the officials have a most dilhcult time in varying the monotony of existence. We ate informed by Mr. J. H. Phirman that by constant labor this week be has keot water in the mains in a running coo dition. The slush ice forming at the head of the flume has to recive constant atten lion to ktep it from blocking. The adjusters of the losses by the recent fare have not . completed tlieir worn yec. The losses of H. Solomon and Dr. Waters hare been reached; but it drill take some days to ascertain 'the damage to the stocks of W. H. Moody & Co. and L. Rorden & Co. The east-bound tram from Portland ar rived in the city about 2 o'clock this after noon, notwithstanding there has been a continuous snow storm all day. The Union Pacific displays pluck aud perseverance iu its efforts to keep an open track during the storms of the past mouth. The east-bound train arrived in the city this morning at 7:30 o'clock, preceded by three locomotives. The train laid from 10 o'clock ' hut night till 3 this morning at Trout dale. The snow plow bored its way through the drifts before the train could proceed on its way. The Wallula Herald has died for want of patronage. This is the second paper that has ended its existence from the same cause in that town. This niakos the fact apparent that the vitiaens do not desire any modern innovation, and are satisfied with the pres ent state of affairs. Ochoco Review: Some time since Elisha Barnes' thoroughbred stallion Winters died at C. A. Graves' place on Deschutes. Win ters was one of the best bred horses on the Pac-ib'o coast, and bia death is not only a heavy loss to Mr. Barnes, but is a loss to the horse interests of the county. W. W. Journal: Sister Agnes, well and favorably known to many of our citizens, both Catholics and Protestants, died at Vancouver on Jan. 16th. She came to this country about thirty-five years ago, and was an angel of mercy to many. May she rest in peace with Qod, whom she faithfully served to the end. Rev. T. P. Boyd, of Cottage Grove, who has been attending at the bedside of bis sick brother, Dr. Boyd, cf this city, and that of his mother who died last week, took his departure homeward this morning. Mr. Boyd is a young man of more than ordiuary ability, and bis trieuds will hope lor a re. turn of his visit under oircuuiataaceg not so sad as this one has been. Reports from Northern Nevada state that cattle are dying at an alarming rate from the effects of the severe storm. In the southern part of the state, however, the winter thus far has been mild and loss of stock bas been comparatively light. Cattle all through Nevada were in very bad condi. tion at the opening of the winter, and owners anticipated heavy losses, whether the season was severe or not. Pasco Ileculllyhi: Cattle on the Snake river range two or three miles east of Pasco have beeu suliering treatly amce the heavy snowfall. One day last week A. W. Sail ing, and Messrs. Long and Leidy collected together about 250 head, belonging to them selves and othfcis, and drove them to the bunchgrass range four or five miles north of town.

At Oregon City Monday, a man made a filing IP the land cilice that is an extraordi nary one, at least tor him . Wis application was tor forty acres uear Milwaukee, in township 1, south range I, cast. When he applied to the register that official supposed the piece of laud applied for to be railroad land, and so stated, bat the man said the railroad company knew nothing about it, and persisted in filing, so his application was taken, and on looking op the matter on the records, it was found to be vacant. As land in that vicinity is worth $200 or up wards per acre, the applicant has secured from Uncle Sam a very valuable home stead. Spokane Chronicle: H. M. Livermqre, of this city, tells an interesting incident, illus trating the constancy with which a dog will care lor those who have been his friends. A short time siuce Mr. Livermore's father-in-law, Thomas Kemp, and a friend named Gray, went hunting near Crescent Bay. During the afternoon the hunters became separated, aud in the evening Mr. Gray re turned to town, supposing that Mr. Kemp, who was well acquainted with the woods, had preceded him or would soon be in. It was not until the next morning Mr. Kemp's absence caused any alarm. A searching parfy Was organized, and finally he was found, v dead, with the two dogs standing guard pver bis tjodv, one at his feet and the other at his' head. ' It was their barking that had guided the hunters to the spot. He had been dead, evidently, since some time on the ' preceding afternoon, having fallen with a 'stroke of paralysis.

It is not known yet whether these engines will be brought to The Dalles or Albina, Engines are very scrrce in The Dalles at the present time. Every train requires donble or treble-headers, and this requires more locomotives than usual. Coasting was not as good last night as the evening before. I he snowfall during the day covered the track prepared and the velocity of bob-sleds was not as great. Jack Stanials, our street commissioner, is doing his duty iu cleaning sidewalks. He understands the duties ot his office, and will perform them unmindful of any cnti cism. Recorder Knaggs iud Street Commission er Stanials were shoveling snow from the sidewalks this morning.

Dallas Observer: At present the problem of lieing able to run logs this wintcr,appears to be somewhat mixed, lucre is a good tall of snow in the mountains; but the question arises, how will this go off. Should it go off suddenly, with a rain, the streams will float the logs in tine shape; but should warm weather continue aud the snow go off grad ually, the waters will be no higher than last winter. 63 far this winter the waters of the La Creole have hardly been muddled. Everybody is looking for and earnestly hop- ins for a rise. The W. R. C. of the G. A. R. installed their officers on the first Saturday in Jan uary.

Sinford was blasting a well for Mr. P. Godfrey at a depth of sixty feet, on Five Mile creek, last Tuesday, and cut off the'fuse about two feet in length. The ex plosion took place when he was within 18 feet of the surface, aud the concussion raised him about six feet and let him fall very suddenly. He was badly scared when hauled out, and as pale as a ghost. Cov ered as he was with snow, he was an object which would strike terror into the mind of any superstitious person. It is well to have a good length of fuse when yon are escaping from a blast iu a deep bole. Aitorian: Articles of incorporation were yesterday til ad in the county elerk's office by the Columbian Publishing Co. L. G. Carpenter, Geo. P. Wallihan and V. C. Miller are the incorporators. The business of the corporation is to purchase and hold all property necessary in publishing one or more daily and weekly' newspapers in As toria, and to own, operate and conduct a jcb printing office, and to purchase, own, hold, sell and dispose of real estate iu As toria. The capital stock of the incorpora tion is $10,000, dirided into 100 shares of $100 each. The duration of the incorpora tion is unlimited. When I think of the towel, the old fashioned towel, that used to hang np by the printing bouse door, I think that no body in these days of shoddy can hammer out iron tq wear as it wore. The tramp who abused it, the devil who used it, the comp who got it when these two were gone, the make-up and foreman, the editor, poor man, each rubbed some grim off while they put a heap on. In, over and under, 'twas blacker than thunder, 'twas harder than poverty, rougher than sin; from the roller suspeuded, it never was bended, and it Happed on the wall like a banner pf tin. It grew thicker and rougher and harder and tougher: and daily put on a mare inkier hue, qntilone windy 'norn jug, without any warning, itjfell to the floor and was broken in two. Axtorlan: People who think of Finland as a subarctic ccuotry of bleak and forbid ding aspect may be surprised to hear that several railroads have already made a large part of the region accessible. A new line, 160 miles long, has just been opened to the heart of the country, in the midst of great forests aud perhaps the most wonderful laae region in the world. Sportsmen are now within a day's jonrney from St. Peters burg of central Finland, where there is the best ot hunting and fishing and 20 hours of sunlight every summer day. Uhe most unique of railroads, however, is still the little line in Norway, north of the Arctic circle, carrying the product cf far northern mines to the sea, and famous as -any rail road that has yet invaded the polar regions. Col. Chas. Denton has the oldest sleigh in the northwest. It was originally built in St. Petersburg for the Hudson Bay company in 1S14, and was first used in an exploriug expedition in the following year up the Mc Kenzie river in search of the remains, of Sir John Franklin. The person in charge suc ceeding in peuetratiug to the Arctic ocean, without securing any signs ot the lost navi gator. ' On his return to The Dalles, Col. Denton fed him on Vasco jack rabbits and Cascade venison, and in consideration of the royal manner in which he was entertained be presented the colenel with the sleigh. There is a report that Napoleon, the great general, in retreating from burning Moscow to WarsaW rode in this sleigh; but this is discredited, 'and we will not state it as a fact. ' Sufficient to give it age and attraction is the story of it baying been used by a royal British party to discover; he remains of$ir John franklin, te English navigator.

Incidents of the Blockade, Which so to Make up a First Introduction to ldfe In the Far West. From Tuesday's Daily. This morning about 8 o'clock the first through passenger train from the cast for eight days arrived in the city, and was a welcome sight to our people, knowing that again the iron rail gave ns communication with our far eastern neighbors. To our old residents it was simply a page of our past history rewritten, when a closed river and snow-blocked roads stopped communication with the outside world for several weeks, The carriages appeared as though they had passed through snowdrifts to the roofs. The congealed element had its mark on windows and doors, and the steps were covered to the deith of about three inches, The passengers were joyful beyond de scription, after being released from a nine days' blockade at Baker City. The major ity bad been two and three weeks in making the trip from their eastern homes, and dur ing that time bad been coupea np in me ow limits of passenger coaches. At Baker City the company furnished them two meals a day, but no beds. This they did not complain of, and although suffering this long delay, to a Times-Modntaiseer reporter they made no complaints. His attention was called to an item in the Baker City Democrat, calling them "cranks," and wishing they would leave and "growl" somewhere else. They were honest and in dustrious citizens, and left their old homes to better their conditions in the far west. To be considered tramps or idlers was an insult to them. Give them an oportunity our forests or on our prairies, and in a little while tbey would make Oregon as productive as Iowa or Illinois. There were three hundred immigrants blockaded at Baker City.and after they bad been there two or three days sickness and death came among them. A young man named McLane, who came from a town in Missouri, and was in the last stage of con sumption, wanted to reach the home of his parents near Spokane Falls, died. His remains were buried there. Telegrams were sent to his father, but it was impossible to tell when the train could get through, and so it was thought advisable to bury him at that place. Two others died, whose names we could not learn one, we are in formed, a mail agent, from pneumonia. The passengers seemed willing to give all possi ble intormation, but could not give the names of these two wbo met the pale horse ith his rider in the mountains of Ureaon. The sick list comprised 52, and they were troubled with colds and the la grippe. Dr. Snow, the company's physician, did every thing to relieve their suffering, and every one speaks of bim in the highest terms of commendation. If he is ever in need of friends he can always rely upon the passen gers of this ill-fated train. Just as the reporter was leaving the car, a young man came forward and lodged com plaints against the dining car conductor. He said the conductor invited him to take a meal,and then ordered him out in a brusque and abrupt manner. At another time he used ungeutlemanly language to him, and the passenger desired the world, to know bow be was treated The destination of the immigrants were to different points in the northwest, some to Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Newcastle aud other towns. They were extremely anxious to reach a stopping place, and were hopeful that in a few days their trials and hardships wonld be oyer. A Social vent From Saturday's Daily. Speaking of a. "Social Session" by the Postage Stamp Co. and the Black Hussar Band, it was nothing, simply nothing, com pared with the dance given by the Social Club last evening at the Old Armory hall. This is the fourth dance of the club and the members of the string band are to be com plimented on the elegant music rendered on this occasion, which could not but please the most critical lover of the "light fantas tic." The dresses of the ladies were some thing well something not to be described by your humble servant, who is but a voice in that line, but as brevity is said to be the soul of wit (?) he will have to sat'sfy the subscribers of the Tiues-Mountaineer by saying they were superb. In point of numbers the dance was also a success, for taking ipto consideration the good coasting and tobogganing, the elite, jouth and beauty of the "city turned ant in goodly numbers, Apropos elite, yonth and beauty, a young lady informed one of the boys in the course of a conversation "that the gen tlemen might consider themselves the 'elite,' but the ladies were undoubtedly the youth aud beauty." We admit the latUr, but when they put the boys down as "the elite" tbey compliment ns; they know ns better than we do ourselves. I wonder what name they will call us next. But leaving all joking aside the next social will be held on Jan. 31st unless notice a given to the contrary. Keep it uppermost in your mind this will be the last of the social series. Young ladies get out your fine dresses agajn iu two weeks aud come along Don't forget to curl your hair all the well, we'll wait until the next social and see what "nice names" the youth and beauty will call ns and then we will be "able" to tell you who was there, if we don't get "caned" for what we have already said.

We believe pork packing would be a paying investment, and it wonld be advisable for some of our business men to correspond with Mr. Reynolds: Centerville, Or., Jan. 18, 1S0O. Editor Tunts-MocsTAUtiia: Having seen an item taken from yonr paper, relative to the proposed erection of a pork packing establishment in your city some time this spring, may I tresspass upon your time to make me acquainted with the intending projectors. I am thoroughly com petent, not only in every branch of the packing business, but also the erection and requirements of the building, and possibly it ir.igr.t be mntnaliy beneficial to an par tics. Personally speaking, I consider The Dalles one of the very best locations for such an enterprise. 1 might say that in 18S6 I cured 500 rigs for Hoxtor and Neweli, of Klickitat, some 23,000 pounds of the product was sold to W. Tackman, Brooks & Beers and others of yonr city. 1 believe you mentioned the circumstance in one of your issues in 1887. I would be pleased to communicate with the parties, and feel ob liged to you for an introduction. Geo. N. Reynolds, Centerville, Washington Co., Or. l,earn From Experience. Ochoco Review. There is no question now but the loss ol stock in Crook county from the effects of the present storm, will be quite heavy. And while the loss will be a serio"s set back to many, it will teach a lesson from which they ought to profit in the future. That is, that it is no longer safe to depend on the range feed for winter, and also that stock, especially sheep, must be run in smaller bands to be profitable. True, the past three or four seasons have been un usually dry, which has kept the natural grass on the range irom growing to its natural bight and from winter pasture. but it is also true that the bunchgrass is being killed out, so that it is no longer safe to depend upon it for winter leed. Of course we may expect an occasional mild winter when stock will thrive on the range without artificial feed. But the stockmen must learn from past experience that there will come winters when stocs: must be fed, and must make preparations therefor. There is enough tillable land in the county to raise sufficient feed for all the stock owned here, if it were cultivated and this the stockmen must do if they would guard against such losses as tbey will sustain this winter.

A Denunciation. A well known merchant who has been greatly benefitted by Joy's Vegetable Sarxaparilla, desired to give it to his wife, who was very delicate, but jut of caution first consulted his physician. Dr. W. H. Griswold of 850 Market street Tbedoctor, who Is one of our leading practitioners objected, laying he had never seen a sarsaparilla that did not contain potash, which thinned the blood; that his patient did not have any vitality to lose, and that what delicate people need Is not de creased vitality, but more blood. He consented when assured that Joy's Vegetable EarsopanUa was directly opposed to the old mistaken blood thinning idea of other sarsapariUas, aud that on the contrary by specific vegetable a'tcratives It stimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges tiou, and repaired nutrition, hence i reatcd i;c.v blood aud was the very thing for feeble it-o;:e. The above explains the hundreds of eases in which aged, enfeebled, delicate and run down people, have been built up by Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla after tbe potash sarsaparillas failed. Its effects are creating a sensation. & f. miner. A Lung Tester. Snohomish Eye. The I'ye's devil says he don't want a Marysville girl for a lung tester.

When his friem's went to pick him np, he said he thought he would die easier lying down.
