this weather continues lor two or three
.days longer, the river will be the great
resort ot all desiring this amusement.
Observer: The railroad agency at Biggs
has been discontinued for a short time.
The agent, Mr. D. McDonald, is going to
.take a couple of months' vacation and
will then probably take charge of the of
fice again.
There are six men at work on the locks,
and these are employed in protecting the
plant A good sum of money yet remains
irom the last appropriation, which will
be sufficient to carry on the work until
the Kiver and Harbor bill is passed by tho
present congress.
. " We learn from the Fossil Journal that
the annual ' gathering of the clans of Gil
liam county took place at the residence of
Mr. Alex. Hardie's place on Paper Sack
on the night of December 31st. Mr. Har
- die is the acknowledged chief of the
Scots-in that vicinity, and issued his call
to the clans. There were about fifty pres
ent, and usquebaugh flowed freely and
the new year was ushered in with song
and dance.
March 21st. Winters on this northwest
coast, while not generally severe and long
continued as compared with eastern Btates,
are fluctuating. Sometimes the "freeze-up"
comes early and stays late, and other years
we have very little winter weather.
Justice courts were quite busy to-day,
His honor, K. Schutz, was waiting for at
torneys to begin one or more actions, and
Justice Doherty was busy hearing evidence
on a complaint of assault with a dangerous
weapon, which, 'we understand, was dis
missed.
The D. S. Baker wili be hauled out of
the water and repaired. Timbers haye
been placed in "position on the beach below
Mill creek, and verv soon the craft wili be
high and dry. The Baker has been in the
trade lor a number of years, and needs re
pairing very much.
Canyon City Hewn: Tuesday morning
was rather cold S above. These playful
attempts at winter .encourage icemen for. a
little while, and then the chiuook comes
along and shatters their hopes. People
were getting ready to put up four-iuch ice
when the last thaw came.
After an existence of six months the spicy
Roseburg Daily Plamdealer has suspended
publication, but the weekly edition ot .th
paper will still continue. We are sorry
that the publishers were forced to stop the
daily edition, for it was ably edited and
newsy, and was a good advertisement ot the
prosperity of the town.
There is a fine little monkey at the ex
press office, directed to A. J. Wall. Eight
Mile. This came from San Francisco, and
will be added to Mr. Wall's menagerie
He bas without doubt the nearest complete
collection ot animals of any person in hast'
em Oregon, and it is his especial delight to
be constantly adding different varieties.
Canyon City News: Quartzburg, on Dixie
creek, has some promising gold aad copper
ledges and a number of miners haye been in
camp all the winter, prospecting. Quartz
burg will boom and be a lively camp just as
soon as the miners can realize enough out of
their ledges to properly develop them, or
when they can induce capitalists to become
partners with thtm.
Union-Journal: Seventeen years ago to
day was one of the coldest days ever expe
rienced in Walla Walla. Ihe mercury in
our theimometer, a high grade one, marked
30 degrees below zero at 8 o'clock in the
morning. Other thermometers ranged from
32 to 35 degrees below. It did not get
colder during the night, iu tact, at 10:30
P. M. it was four degrees warmer. There
were about eighteen inches of solid snow on
the ground at the time.
Democrat: The- Salem Journal gives as
one of the new inmates of the retorui school,
JN. J. Heuton, from Albany, aged 10. Mr.
Henton is at least four times that age, and.
instead of going to the reform school, the
city recorder is the gentleman' who signed
the commitment of Ihomas Martin Uettron
for that school, and the Journal man proba
bly did not look straight. A correction
may possibly save him a sound thrashing at
the hands of the Albany official.
brant County Aews: Butcher (J ray lost a
fine beef in a singular manner a few days
ago. The boys were down to the athletic
park near the corral shooting at a target,
and some of them were on the fence waving
tueir hats and. frightening the cow. Sudden
ly she began trembling and sank to her
knees, and in a moment rolled over and ex
pired. .No post mortem examination was
held, but the cause of the cow's sudden de
mise was attributed to "heart failure."

from there was sent to Fort Ni6qually (in
this county) and there joined the steamer

now historical vessel, he served as stoker
for tour years, during which period of time
the steamer made several trips to Nisqually

he was sent to Fort Nisqually and became
an employee of the Fuget Sound Agricnl
tural company, as a head shepherd, and was
placed in charge of the company's station
at Wyaatuhe (Steilacoom) lake. Soon after
my arrival here (March, 1850,) John left
the service and took a donation claim of
640 acre's at Sohalio (upper) much of which
he still owns. When 1 first saw John he
was a magnificent specimtn of a man, and
a nne type ot the Island Scotsman, tie
was a trusted employe, and during his long
residence in this connty has been a worthy
citizen and a good neighboi. .Long may he
live."

-John Doe, that celebrated character,
appeared in police court In this city on
Monday as a common "drunk." Mr. Doe
VrtQ Wpll knnwn in rfnrrliak fAiirlo

PleSdmg and Blackstone's Commentaries
mentions him in several important cases.

xne county court of isaaei county is of
the opinion that in the case wherein the
State of Oregon is plaintiff and the Connty
of Baker is defendant, the former will come
ont second best in the contest, or in other
words will be "in the soup" for the amount
of something like $12,000, claimed as de

Rev. J. Howerton. the Hantml minialor
died suddenly at her home in Fossil Fri
day morning about 5 .o'clock. She went
to bed Thursday night in her usual health,
except that her throat was slightly sore,
and awoke her husband about 5 by slight
ly coughing. He spoke to her, but she
4id not answer him. He shook her, and
she seemed unconscious. Mr. Howerton
then rose and struck. a light, by which he
discovered she was dead. Deceased has
not been robust for many years, and it
was on account of her health that Mr.
Howerton moved his family from Mis
souri to Morrow county five years ago.
Grand Ronde Chronicle: Chief Joseph. the
Nez Peice, who devastated Camas Prairie,
Idaho, and lead General Howard that mem

to be returned once more to his old home.

Lower Wallowa by the Grand Ronde Vol

chief and his brutal band. The blood of
their mnrdered victims of Camas Prairie
and Mt. Idaho, should be a warning to
Joseph never to reinhabit that beautiful
country which be and biB band transformed
into a desolate plain. The people of this
country are prone to forgive and have great
respect for the braverv of an enemv fiVhtina

Three carloads of cattle and one of bogs

night py the police force, aud they were or
dered to leaye town and not stay upon the
order of their going.
The walk on the south side of the block
on Second street, between Washington and
Federal, is a great improvement, and fur
nishes a continuous road to the East Eud.
The steps leading to the bluff on Court
street have been torn down to be replaced
by new ones as soon as possible. On this
street the inclined walk will accommodate
pedestrians until the improvement is made.
Notwithstanding the cold weather sev
eral buddings are in course of erection in
the burned district, and when spring opens
that portion of the city wiil not show but
little effects of the conflagration of Septem
ber 2d. -. ' . .
Mr. C. B. Durbin is in tho city from An
telope, and reports cattle in very good con
dition in that portion of the county. There
is no snow in the yalley, but some on the
hills, and the grass is gie.- and furnish
good feed for stock.
- Several of our young people spent the
moonlight hours last night in skating on
the ponds in the vicinity of this city. The
ice is smooth and of sufficient thickness to
bear the weight of any number of persons,
and the amusement very exhilarating.
The winter season begins with the short
est day in the year, Deo. 21st, and is sup
posed to end with the vernal equinox,
March 21st. ' Those who have had longer
experience than we have had. concide with
ub that winter weather is net always gov

Mr. C. J. Bright, of Wasco, ia in the city
The new sidewalks built since the fire
have been laid according to the grade of the
street, and are much better thin they were
before. f
The frozen streets have made our thor
oughfares very passable, and even with mild
weather our citizens will not be troubled
with the muck and mire they were before
the cold change ocenrred.
This is leap year, and if our young men
are not suffisiently enterprising and ener
getic to give parties during these winter
evenings, the youug ladies should control
the matter. A Leap Year party would give
neW life to Tbe Dalles.
Mrs. D B. Handley sold out her interest
in tbe Umatilla House to-day to Mr. J.
Fisb.'and the firm will be hereafter Sinnott

one in Eastern Uregon for over a quarter of
a century, aud the death of Mr.- Handley
was tne nrst change in the firm.
A few miles in the interior frcui this city
good sleighing has been enjoyed for come
time, while at Tbe Dalles at no time has
there been sufficient snow for sleighs tQ be
nsed. The Dalles has milder weather in
winter, more rain in summer, and is by far
a nearer equable climate than .any point
ease oi tne oascauo mountains. -
The presence in Seattle cf ex-Governor
Moody, of Oregon, recalls to the Press-
Times the fact that he was the only dele
gate from Oregon, and, we think, from the
Pacific coast, who went to the Republican
conyention oi 1888 with the avowed pur
pose of voting for Benjamin Harrison. He
voted tor him on the first ballot and
throughout the contest.
Democratic Times: Oregon girls take the
"cake" when it comes to "buckarooing."
Last week a band of cattle and an emigrant
wagon fiom Oregon, bound for God only
knows were passed through Wheatland,
Calif., with two good-looking webfootad
girls driving cattle, riding straddle and Bit
ting in the saddle with as much ease and
grace as the most accomplished yaquero.
Notwithstanding the mild weather we
haye been enjoying, tbe season is very hard
on the police court, and very few cases
furnish grist for the mill on mornings.
Last night, like several other; during' the
present winter, there was not a single per
son to be interviewed by the city recorder.
It is to be hoped that tbis will continue,
for while peace and quietness remains with
in the borders of the court the couutry is
prosperous.
. It is only the middle of January, and it
is premature to say -anything about the
mildness of the winter. Nine years ago, in
February, the thermometer ranged to 22
degrees below zero, and for ten days the
water supply of this city was frozen. Dur
ing that period The Dalles was at the mercy
of any conflagration, and residents were
forced to procure their supply of water from
tbe Columbia. Notwithstanding the sever
ity of that season, the -first - of March
was a delightful spring day, and early in
the month wild flowers were in bloom.
The conncil chambers are sadly in need
of repairs, and tbe common council now
hold their meetings in the recorder's office.
This building h an old laudmark of The
Dalles,and has been occupied as a courtroom
for over a quarter of a century. To our
own personal knowledge two murderers
have been sentenced to be hanged within its
confines, and in the now dingy room some
of the most erudite and judicial minds in
Oregon have sat as judges. It was the
court house when Wasco county extended
to tbe Rocky mountains, and when a sub
poena in a justice court in this city was
served on a witness residing at Ft. Hall
now in Idaho. A9 a relic of the past it has
treasured memories to ' very many of our
citizens, who will very much deplore its de
cay, and desire it to remain as a memento
of early times east of the Cascade moun

Stock Journal: It is too early in the sea
son to make any definite estimate of the
number of cattle to come t.orth in 1892,- but
those who are in the best position to make
figures think that the movement will be fif
teen to twenty-five per cent, heavier than
last year. There are several reasons for
this belief. Montana, Dakota and Northern
Wyoming steer handlers made money the
past season and there is no visible present
reason to doubt a repetition of this result
in 1892. Hence, it is argued that these
men will be in the swim the coming season.
Again, several large Texas' operators who
haye heretofore sent their steers into the
Nation will be barred ont and they are al
ready looking for an outlet in tbe north.
The drouth in portions of New Mexico pre
vented the ripening of many steers last
year aud fifteen to twenty thousand of these
are liable to come this way. Eighty three
thousand came to Cheyenne by rail in 1891
and an arrival of 100,009 iu 1892 may be
ooked for.

A Sad Case.
East Oregonian.
Pat Quirk, for'many 'years a resident of
Pendleton, who is kntwn among early tim
ers here, has been confined for three years
or moro in the county hospital. He is a
sufferer from cancer of the stomach, and
has become greatly emaciated. Doubtless
his affliction unbalanced his mind, for he
lately developed violent insanity. It was
necessary to remove bim this afternoon
from the hospital to tbe county jail, where
he will be confined in the women's depart
ment and watched day and night to prevent
him from doing himself injury. He will
not be sent to the asylum, as it is thought
that death is fast drawing near to end his
suffering. A peculiar feature of fat a case
is that while his disease prevented him for
two years from taking any nourishment ex
cept boiled milk, he has developed an in
satiable appetite since he became iDSane.
and devours all kinds of substantial food
ith great relish and seemingly'no ill effect,
It is supposed that his diseased miud ren
era him insensible to tbe pain formerly
caused by eating.

treasurer advertises to-day to pay all war

There are not many counties in Eastern
Oregon that pay up as well as Crook.

: The Oldest Settler. r
The Dallea bas claimed for a number of
years the oldest settler in the Pacific north
west, Mr. Edward Crate, Sr., who crossed
the continent with the Hudson Bay Com
pany in 1838, and passed down tbe Colum
bia to Ft. Vancouver in tnat year; but the.
following from the Tacoma Ledger, gives
evidence of. a man who preceded him by a
year, Mr". John McL3nii: . ' .
Tbe oldest settler iu this region was in
Tacoma yesterday, John McLeod, who has
been in the Puget Sound country sinoe 1S38.
He is an old friend of Edward Hoggins,
who says concerning bim: "I was much
pleased to-day when I saw passing my office
an old man whom I at once recognized as
an old friend of mine of upwards of forty
years' standing. . I refer to that sturdy old
Scotch islander, John McLeod, now residing
with his son-in-law, D. M. Monnts, near
Nisqually City. . McLeod is a native of
Lewes island, Scotland, and entered the
service ef the Hudson Bay company in 1837,
British Free Trade.
The Dalles, Jan. 14, 1392.
Editor TniBS-MouNTAisixa:
The London Fair Trade, considered tbe
most critical British trade jonrnal, says in
these words; "Our past experience has
justified the formula that national prosperity
is measured by excess of import, but the
closing months of 1891. is an exception to
tbe general rule. On all hands it is admit
ted we have entered on a period of contract
ing iudustry and bad trade; yet if free
trader's theory held good, we should be en
tering on a good time. The boasted revival
of last year has disappeared. Nor is there
the slightest gronnd for hope that in the
presence cf the United States, new tariff
legislation, France's withdrawal from : her
treaties and the cohesion in trade matters of
Central Europe the United Kingdom's for
eign export, trading is likely to improve."

Progressive Whist.
From Tuesday's Daily.
The Columbia Whist club held a meet
ing last evening at the residence of Dr.
and Mrs. W. E. Rinehart. There were
eight tables occupied, and a yery pleasant
time was had. The following ladies and
gentlemen were present: Dr. and Mrs.
Rinehart, Mr. and Mrs. Crossen, Mr. and
Mrs. Lochhead, Mr. and Mrs. . B. Mc
Farland, Dr. and Mrs. Hollister, Mr. and
Mrs. B. S. Huntington, Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Wilson,
Mr. and Mrs. Fish, Mr. and Mrs. Hostet-
ter, Dr. Eshleman, Mrs. Waters, Miss
Meyer, Miss FitzGerald, Mr. Ainsworth,
Mrs. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Blakeley, Mrs.
Fred Houghton, Mr. and Mrs. Beall.
Mrs. H. S. Wilson secured the first ririze

East Oregonian: A decision of interest has
been rendered by the supreme court ia the
cate ot A. VYellman, administrator, re
spondent, ys. O. S. L. t U. N. K. R. Co.,
appellant, appeal from Union county. The
respondent is the father of Willianr. Well-
man, the fireman killed in a wreck on the
Union Pacific near La Grande about two
years ago. As administrator of his son's
estate he sued the railway company for
damages and secured a verdict for $4100.
The case was appealed, and beard at the
May term of tbe supreme court in Pendle
ton. An opinion was then written up,
ready for delivery, but the justices at the
last moment evidently wished to further
consider the matter, which was taken nnder
advisement. The decision now giyen at
Salem, opinion by Chief Justice Strahan,
affirms the judgement of the lower court,
and Mr. Wrllman secures damages for his
son's death. Conductor Fisher, who lost a
leg in the same accident, secured a verdict
for $9000 damages. The company appealed,
and bis case ia now pending before the su
preme court.. '
Letters received from the second assist
ant postmaster-general are unfavorable to
a change of the mail route between here
and The Dalles, and it is likely the stage
will have to come by way of Antelope
until the roads become so bad that it will
be impossible to travel that route.
C. A. VanHouten, of the B. 8. & L. Co.,
says this has been a hard winter on sheep,
owing to the great amount of rain that
has fallen. The heavy wool sheep of this
county do not stand rain well. When
eir fleeces become thoroughly wet they
will not trayel around to obtain food and
keep warm. .
John Colver has tired of waiting for

For a wonder the farmers are not growl
ing about "tbe roads. Very likely the
"jidge" enjoys the lull attributable to the
thorough soaking the soil is receiving.
It seems onr peaceful, inoffensive nation

Query: Will the prospective war give Har

Tbe "oldest inhabitant" says there will
be good crops this year because of the large
supply of snow in the mountains and more
frequent showers will result throughout the
growing season.
Rev. Edward Baker, the M. E. minister
for this circuit, terminated the late pro
tracted services at Pleasant Ridge Sunday
evening. The second quarterly meeting
was also held there at that time, the pre

protracted meeting then adjourned ' to Du-

held, in the new church, until further no

A petition is being circulated for the es

A number of farmers have built cisterns

looking for a shoddy market.
At a late meeting of the Cobden club it
was declared, with great applause, "that
the leading question in the presidential con
test was revenue reform, and is on the win
ning side.' Tbis was something like the
declaration of the London Times of July
12, 1880, when discussing our politics, it
said, "How free trade will come some day
to the United States must be left to the
Cobden club and to its twelve cabinet min
isters in their unofficial capacity to decide.
It is to the New World that the club is
chiefly looking as the most likely sphere for
its vigorous foreign policy. It has done
what it can for Europe, and is now turning
its eyes westward and bracing itself for the
struggle to come. Protection is the strong
hold in which tbe United States has en
trenched itself. We intend to break down
the protecting system in the United States,
and substitute the British system; this done
our victory ia complete final." No wonder

Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep

was taken down with measles, followed
with a dreadful cough and turning into a
fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain ; ' she grew worse
rapidly, uolil she was a mere "handful of
