The criminal courts 'of Portland have
been grinding out convicts at a rapid rate
during the last few days. W Yv. Smith
was sentenced to three jeare in the peni-
. tentiary for shoeing Sam W oodworlh on
the morning of December 15lh in a sa
loon over a game of crds. J ames Bran
non, a thug who was convicted of assault
. and robbery al the Mew Claredou hotel,

Crowley, gets oif easier, with two yiars.
A man hoarded Monday night's west
bound passenger train al Baker City and
shortly afterward the conductor went
around to take up tickets. The man had
- none. He was told to get off at Haines,

went out on the platform. A sudden
gnst blew his hat into space, and al
though the train was running forty miles
an hour he promptly jumped after it.
" He landed on his head and was badly
hurt The tram picked him up and
carried him to Haines, where at last ac
counts he was lying in an unconscious
condition. His name is unknown. .
Albany Dcn.ocrta- Here is an item with
an old time ring to it. A railroad con
tractor has just arrived in Albany from
California, where he gave up a contract
to do so, and will go to. work shortly on
the extension of the Oregon Pacific which
'is to connect with the C B. & Q. He
says it is business this time and no more
foolishness. This is told for a fact and is
not a funny item. In the meantime the
road will not be sold until the 1st of
March. It is probable that then there
will be but one bidder, and it is possible
that now the matter is all fixed up, and
contractors are being negotiated with;
but not probable. .
The state refonri school near Salem j
though it is an admirably conducted in
. stitution, does not seem to have special
charms for some of the bad little boys
who have been committed there. A few
days ago, says an Oregon City paper,
two broke away from the school and
started down the railroad track for then
home in Portland. The first night they
slept in a pile of ties near Salem, and
Monday night they tried the same kind
of feathers near Hubbard, but Superin
tendent Smith was after them and by
noon of Tuesday they were found and
captured at Can by. To keep their mus
cles in practice, they were marched back
to Hubbard, where they took the even
ing train back to the reform school.

The Carving npdof Old Wasco.
A Salem correspondent of the Oregonian,
nbder date of Feb. 1st, has the following
regarding the new counties to be parcelled
out of Wasco: , -
The legislative air is full of county di
vision schemes and proposals to create new
counties. The dmuionists or vt asco
county, undeterred by emphatic protests,
are seeking to almost obliterate that division
of the state from the map of Oregon. The
proposed new county of Stockman cuts out
a large slice trom tne southern portion;
Tygb county appropriates a big section out
the heart ot the old county, and the pro
jectors of Cascade county, commencing at
the eastern boundary of Multnomah, takes
in Cascades, Hood Rtver and Mosier, even
running its eastern line within sight of Tn
Dilles, but gratioutly leaving the city itself
and the cemetery to the old regime. The
ouly property within tne propose I new
county that will pay any considerable
amount of taxe?, is the railway line of the
Uuion Pacific Company, 30 odd miles of the
road to be taken in. There really don't,
seem much chance for the lines of Wasco to
be disturbed. The delegation from there is
divided on tbe question, and the protests
against any kind of division contain the
names of all tbe prominent taxpayers of the
county. Not satisfied with thus cut-ting up
the mother of Eastern Oregon conoties, the
Sutton county boomers propose to also take
four townships from her, the rejnaiuing- por
tions being appropriated from Crook and
Grant. ,
