The Salem Statesman has purchased two - M rgantbaler linotype machines, the only other one on the coast being in use in the Astorian othce. A scarf-pin, in the shape of a bow-knot, was nicked up near the Times-mount- atseeb office yesterday. The owner can have tbe same by proving property. Martin Silk.for selling whisky to In dians, was arrested last uiht by Deputy U. S. Marshal Jameson, and is now lodged in tbo county jail awaiting his examination There are two very creditable flashlight photographs in front ot Mr. ilernn 8 al t lery. These are pictures of groups, and are good likenesses of each individual member. m We notice ' seyeral strangers on our 'streets. The Dulles is becoming known, and the head of navigation, with an open river to tbe ocean, wll soon assume her ' proper commercial position. Stockmen in the north end of Crook county are running short of feed, only - bavins enough to Inst a few days longer. - When that is gone they will have to de . pend on the range, as there is no hay for sale in that section. The south hill sides smiles in the sun shine with the vtrdure of sprjnir; but those which are sheltered from tbe rays of the sun are still enveloped in the snowy mantle of winter and frown with a repelling appearance. - A flat boat, nsed for ferrying purpose!-, which was taken down the river to a point below tbe residence of Mr. Kiindt, waa brought to the landing to-day. To is is the . first time since tbe aunident happened that the river has been sufficiently clear to haye it bionght back. Lewis Borlon, a member of the Salva tion army, was found wandering around . the streets nf Portland in a nude condi tion, Monday nighL tie was arrested by the poiice and found to be Insane, and will have an examination before tbe county judge. .

This is the way the Waterville Index speaks of the winter: "The snow fall :or the pat two mortbs has been about seven ; feet, for twenty days more or Jess falling -. eyery 24 hours. But every appearance in dicates that tbe 'beantnul' is on the re treat, that the warm -rays of the sun are getting the bet tt the battle. As ic leaves ' us, we can afford to bless it f ir the great benefits we anticipate from its visit in the shape of good and abundant harvests." The young Pendleton attorney, T. G. Hailey, referee in the celebrated case of Kodiue vs. Shirley, the cattle barons of . Union county, says the Baker Democrat, has made his report and filed his findings and conclusions of law with the circuit court, tie nnas mat tne piaintin is en titled to a decree against tbe defendant in tbe sum of. f 17,0t0. The delendanl through his counsel, Johns & Rand of this city, wil. file exceptions to tbe report, and will ask to haye the same set aside or modified. ice long continued winter is working a hardship on stockmen, says the Yakima Herald, and many who calculated that thev had plenty of hay are now com ' pel led to buy. Cattle are dying even where there is an abundance of bay, and Snipes & Allen, who still have about 300 tons of hay, report that they have lost ; quite a number of bead. In Ihe upper country a hard cruat has formed on the enow, which cuts tbe horses legs when , they try to get down to grass, and it is claimed that unless winter soon lets go ' the loss ot horses will be heavy. In tbe front window of A. Ullrich & Son's cigar factory is a very good collec tion ot Indian enrios, gathered in this - vicinity. These consist of arrow-beads, pipes, stone implements, etc-, which were used by tbe aborigines before the white " man Invaded their domain. As the repos itories of these curios have been thor are becoming scarce, and belore long they " will not yield their wealth to the huuter. j It will not be a great while before these etc., will be very valuable. Cats are in demand in Wallowa county. A Prairie creek farmer went io Joseph the other day and gathered np every, cat he could find in the town, irrespective of age, color, sex or general nativity. He e plained to the wondering spectators ot his collection that the squirrels are begin ning to appear, and that a herd of cats on a ranch is a belter investment than poison in the determined war thai has to be ' made on Wallowa county's pests. What a pity it is, after all, that J im Wardner didn't establish that cat ranch over on Poget soundi About fifty of the friends of Dr. and Mis. Rinebart captured their residence last evening by a covert attack on the prem ises by rueus of the liaughlin street stairway. They proved amicabl .- inclined alter inning possession, ana uiciaieu me proceedings of the evening. Mr, and - Mrs. Rinebart were completely and agreeably-surprised, and the hours were spent very pleasantly in conversation and amusements. This was a house warming of the right sort, and the host nod hostess only regret that they do not move into a new house every week to enjoy such felic itous company. . . V Albany Herald: - An item has been go ing the rounds of the papers to the effect 'that J. W. Hill has been going to school - at Monmouth, supporting himself by working: at farm work during tbe sum mer, but had exhausted his means by sending thb body of his brother, who had perished .in the Cascade mountains, to Texa, and to replenish his exchequer bad invented a one man stump puller for which he was to receive $1H,000. As there bas been no authentic uccounl of tbe - finding cf young Hill's body who per ished on the road to Quartzyille on tbe headwaters of Thomas creek a year ago the story is probably as fanciful a one as was that of the freezing to death of three hunters on Silver creek a few weeks ago One lone and forlorn individual, who, in his disconsolate condition, imbibed "not wifely but too well" of tbe intoxicat ing beverage, awoke up in tbe city jail this morning to a realization that he waa surrounded by environment which are not condncive to tbe evolvment of those finer feelings in the sonl which bespeak the poet or artist. In fact there was little poetry but sound inductive philosophy in the sentence imposed on Aim by the re " corder as punishment lor the misde meanor. Fiye dollars and costs appeal to IheTealism of tbe plethoric condition of the purse, and has nothing whatever to do with the divina in flatus which created the thoughts in the Iliad or Odyssey; but tbe lesson is plain, and that is, Go thy way and sin no more. Burglars effected an entrance Into the looms occupied by Captains Thompson and f ano of One Salvation Army, says the Walla Walla Union-Journal, located on Poplar street between First and Second streets Saturday night, and when they went away (hey left a big deficit in the treasury. When the young men returned to tbeir rooms after the meeting at the barracks, they found a drawer in which they kept the money of the army stand ing open: and $32 05, which they had left therein, had been extracted. The burglars evidently were well acquainted with tbe premises as nothing else was disturbe showing that that drawer was the first and only one opened, .bnirance was effected by means of .a skeleton key with which they unlocked the door. From Thursday's Daily. Mr. Clay Neece, of Moro, is - in the city. Mr. Walter Fraine, of Grant, was in the city yesterday, The ferry boat is at its landing for the first time tor several weeks. The Telegram beads its leading article on the new Portland charter, "Work of tbe Philistines." An exchange gives advice how to avoid a divorce suit, ihe easiest and surest way u to remain single. . The Indians aronnd Umatilla are catch ing salmon ont of the river, and their hun ger is somewhat satisb'ed. The Regulator left her wharf at 7 o'clock this morning for the Cascades, having pas sengers and freight on board. Ihe road to the free bridge over the Des chutes is repeated in very bad condition, and will need very many repairs. Mr. Lydell Baker, of Portland, . was elected clerk of the railroad commission, at a meeting held in Salem Tuesday. - Feb 22 Mary E Husbands and husband to Robert Henry Husbands; . lot M, south addition to town of Hood River; $400. The "spring time bas come, gentle An nie; but don t be in a hurry to don new garbs, for old. winter may create a little flurry yet. The late chinook' winds and warm weather have made the roads to the interior iu a very bad condition, and now is a good time to put these in repair. A memorandum book, with steel clasp. was found at the clerk's office this morning. The owner can have the same by proving property and paying for this notice. A case of assault and battery committed at Mosier yesterday will be tried before Justice Sohuta of thii city on motion of the complaining witness for a change of venue, Some of the students at the' Willamette university are attempting to adopt the Ox, ford "mortar-board", for headwear. This style will never become popular in Web- foot. Crinoline is coming, and will be on the streets of The Dalles in a sho t time. The uoddess of Fashion, who holds her court in Paris, has so decreed, and it will be en forced. In a few days farmers will be busy doing tbeir spring plowing. The snow has disap peared quite rapidly in the last two or three lays, and the ground is almost satnciently dry now to be plowed. Mr. R. F. Hard wick e, of Mo-Jier, gave us an agreeable call to-day. rie says the snow during the past winter has been very agree able to the farmers, and the gronod is in ex cellent condition for crops. Chinook winds in Sherman county have cleared the ground of snow except in deep canyons, (battle are in poor condition, but the loss has not- bepn heavy. Wheat bas not been id lured so far, and farmers are leased with the prospects for crops. And now in tbe early days of the spring time, when the buds are jut peeping out of their wintry bed, comes Wm Nolian and under oath declares bis intention of becom ing an American citizen, and to that end re nounced his allegiance to the queeu of Great Britain and Ireland. Idaho yielded last year $7,703,000 Of this the silver amounted to $3,793,000, lead $2,575,000, and the balance was gold. Tbis is a lecrease of $1, 936,000 from the output of 1891. The decre ise is dne to the shut ting down of many mines in the Ceeir d'Alene and Wood river resions. . Fishermen are preparing their wheels for operations, and they expect the salmon mo will be very good as soou as the seasou opens. With another cannery running there will be' ready sale for alt that will he caught, and the export of salmon for 1893 wilt be larger from tbis vicinity than has been realized for many prey ion a year-. The Princess Victoria Ktiaulani, heir p parent to the throne of the Sandwich Isl ands, has sailed lor New Yore. It is not expected that she will visit The Dalles or make a harrird trip o the caDal aud locks at the Cascades. Then fore, the visit of tbis scion of royalty should cause no dis turbance to business circles in this vicinity. Tiic sheriffs otbee showed little anima tion this morning when our reporter called,- althongh the chairs and tables were occu pied, aud discussion was indulged is on sev eral subjects, ranging from the actions of the Texas mob to the annexation of Hawaii. Items were scarce, and taking a look at the rogue's gallery, pasted on the wall, the pen cil pusher qnietly made his exit. A correspondent of an exchange, writing from Dale, Harney county, nuder date of February 14th, writes: It seems they are having pretty cold weather ont on Butter caeek. A man by the name of Rogers had twenty-five head of cattle frozen to death and another . man bad fifty. There were several more bad smaller numbers frozen. Jim McCumber bad fifty head of sheep frozen. Now that the legislature is over and its work summoned np, it is seen that in all 200 bills have been passed oat ot the 700 introduced. Of those which passed, 111 originated in the house and 89 in t e senate. Fifty-three were amending city charters or incorporating towns, and 24 earned appro priations . Ida majority ot tbe remainder were only minor amendments to tbe code. A resident ot salt .Lake bas a copy ot a - mortgage made m Boise City in 1S61. It waa to secure $170, with interest at 10 per vent every month, tbe interest in case of default ' to be added to the principal and compounded seoii-ani ually. The mortgage was uever satisfied, and as it now amonots, according to the terms, to $45,972,003,182,- 820 50, an'd is still growing, there are grave tears that it never will be. Mr. L. Davenport, of Mosier, gave ns an agreeable call this morning. He says the now bas disappeared in that vicinity, and cattle can now feed on the hillsides. There has been no appreciable loss by reason of the winter, and cattle are in go d con ition As fas as can be ascertained fruit has been uninjured, and it is expected that the cold weather bas done some good in stopping the propagation of the insect pests. The Union Scout in its county court pro ceedins bis the following: Bids were then opened on keeping county poor .farm for one year, and tbe contract was let to Eg'-ert Uoffinberry at $3 75 per week f r eacb pau per, tbe contractor to have the use. of the. poor farm and the County to furnish the necessary clothing and medical assistance for the paupers, the contractor to furnish all, necessary care and attention to the sick. Aelorian: A dastardly attempt was made last night to wreck the 8:30 eleotric car near the old tannery. R. B. Smart was driving at a fair pace with several passen gers inside, when he got onto the trestle. Half way over it an iron rail, 18 feet long, was stretched across the track and the csr smashed into it with a jerk, which sent the two front wheels completely off the track and almost precipitated the car into the river below. Tbe authorities are confident that they know who the perpetrators are, and summary steps will be taken to appre hend and punish them. The city marshal could furnish no item with which to s.dorn a tale this morning. Everything was serene, and such a quietudu pervaded animated nature that his lodging house bad no! a single boarder. These are tbe piping times of peace, when nothiug mars tbe even flow of feelings, when the cat dwells in harmony with members of tbe canine species, and when even a Democrat will keep 'cool" if yon refer to tbe "late unpleasantness" as the rebellion. War's rnde alarms are beard no more, and politicians no longer plot to capture caucuses and con ventions. . Bad blood ex sts between the Indians and Chinese at Umatilla, and it is feared trouble may result. During the past few weeks wood bas been scarce at the Indian village, and to keep from freezi g the Indians have een. tearing down portions of the large flume which was built for miniug purposes tiy a company of Chinese several yeirs ago. Tne Chinamen expended over $5000 in building the flume, and were naturally q ite angry when they saw the inroads tbe In dians were making on it. Monday a sqnad of armed Chinamen surprised some f quaws as they were breaking down part of tbe flume, and drove them from the scene. The Indians are desperate. AUorian: Proposals were opened at the otboe of Major Handbury, United States engineers, yesterday for supplying 6000 tons of rock, 1500 cords of fascines and 1500 ponnds of wire for use in the dike at St. Helens . bar, in tbe Columbia river. There is a portion of tbe dike on which no brush or rock have yet been placed. Fol lowing is a list of the proposals submitted: Richard Hoyt, $6112.50; H. B. Borthwick, $6742.50; W. PJacobson, ' $6397 50; J. E. Smith, $6262.50; James Stewart, $7470; John Burke and R. G. Neil, $7575; James H. Hay, $6345; ferry Hinkle. $6735. The bid of Mr. Hoyt being the lowest, its ac ceptance has been recommended. The Niles-Vinson marble works "of Walla Walla, Wash., are perhaps the most exten sive retail dealers in marble and granite in the northwest. Daring March they will re ceive from the quarries of Vermont two car loads of finished monuments for their spring trade, and two more cars will be sent for" ward to arrive in May. From fifty to eighty finished monuments are kept constantly in stock in yards near the Ut,ion Pacific depot, where thev have their own ground and buildings. Their trade extends over Eist em Oregon. Eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana. Salem Statesman: By to-day the governor will have disposed of all tne bills that re ceived the signatures of both president and speaker and reached his desk. To day the time during which bills may be acted upon expires and some vetoes and spprovals may be expected. The last ot tbe 200 bills passed will be acted npon finally to-day. Senate bill No. 55 will be vetoed, as it is a dnnlicate of a house bill that has been filed. Of course there ill be a couple of game and fish commissioner vetoes, as three bills on the same subject have passed one for a fish and name protector, one for nve commi sioners. and one for a fish and game warden. The last mentioned has been filed, so the conclusion is drawn that house bills No. 110 and 180 are to be vetoed. No one ever ex pected the governor would sign the Manley bill, amending tbe election laws. From Friday's Dail y . The number of bills passed by the legist tare were 20d. Mr. J. H Frastr and wife are visiting relatives and friends in the city. Mr. R. E. Saltmarsbe. who has been confined to his room by illness for scv eral days past, is convalescing. Free for all. One enlarged picture free with every dozen cabinet photos at Herrin's gallery over the postofHce. Mr. H. .Gerson, formerly a leading merchant at ibis city, but in recent years dninz business in Portland, is in Tbe Dalles. Tbe flour-mi'l and distillery at Grant are now running on lull time, and the toot of the steam whistles is welcome sounds to tbe residents. The police and justice courts have been very quiet to-day, and (beir honors, the ius'ice and recorder, have a mused themselves in tbe best manner possible, Mr. W. R. Abrams. the Banker of Ellens. burffh. Wash., is in the city. Mr. Abrams was formerly a resident of The Dalle, hav ing lived here for many years until moved to Washington. he Tbe editor of tbe Grant Dispalcn is talking about gardening: already. We expect to hear of bim advertising for a co' k soon to prepare bis garden truck" for the table. There is a man ' residing at Dot in Klickitat county. Wash, who subscribes and pays for eight papers. Wben be dies there wiil be a long obituary notice published of bim. Giofiu Q paplt is uif mboa bu ifcsjio bommfsz Translated into tbe English language means if yon want strictly first- class photos yon will bae to go to Her rin's gallery over the postollice. ; From our exchanges we learn that pro tracted religious meetings are being held at different points in the northwest, and they are producing good t fleet 8. There will be less delinquent subscribers here after. Muro Observer: W. H Harris sold forty head of beet cattle to Kelly brothers, of The Dalles, last Fiiday, tbe average price paid being $30 per head. The cattle were rorn three to seven years old and were in good coudition. Stockards of Mr. R. E. Saltmarshe & Co. are still busy sliippit g cattle to tbe Portland and Sound marKets. ' Tbis is an every day occurrence, and, if not noticed in our local columns, may be considered ns a matter of general repute. The Begulator started on regular time this morning, aud expected no obstacles in tne shape ot ice floes. A chinook wind blew yesterday, and this bas had the enect to loosen the ice in the rivrr, and the current being very rapid will soon float loose cakes downward. The jury disagreed in the case of Tom Kiutsey, who was indicted by the state of Washington for robbing the Boslyn 'bank, five being for acquittal aud seven for con viction. Another trial will probably result in his discharge. Cat. Hale will also have a new trial. - Hon. E. N. Chandler returned last even ing from the reception and drill given by the hrst regiment, U. 14. G., in Portland yesterday, to the members of the legisla ture. He aays they were entertained in a royal manner, and the drill waa something th ,t would delight any military man to wit ness. State Fru t Inspector Jessee reports that with the coining, of spring tbe fruit pests manifest signs ot life, says the W, W. Jour nal. He denies the repoit that they have been destroyed with tbe fruit by the cold weather, and warns the rchardists to bs in adiness to wage an effective wir against the terrible destructive pests. Transcript; A lady over at Hillsboro has recently sold a brood of 400 chickens, raised by her tbe past year for $200. Tbis does not take into account the eggs sold, which would doubtless liquidate all expenses. We'll bet our old pocket knife against a nickel that tbe lady's husband didu't make as much clear com on oi nis ou-acre wneac field last year. , . . Tbe Chelan Eagle estimates that there are thirty Indians in that vicinity, wbo, under the decision of the commissioner of tbe general land office, substantially affirmed by tbe secretary of tbe interior, will have the right to select 640 acres of land apiece, or an aggregate of about 20,000 acres, some where in the Chelan country, from the month of the Methow to tbe Chelan river, and from there in a northerly direction np the lake. . It is said that in a western theatre re cently a man suddenly rose in his seat and complained to the audience that on account of the tbiog worn on the head of tbe wo man in front of bim he was nnable to. wit ness the performance. And, as tbe story goes, the man's daring was rewarded. - The woman rose in ber majesty, looked at the man with an expression that seemed to say, "Oh, I wish I were Corbett," and swept out of the house in great anger. Henry Boyer and Andrew Hanson, two of onr oimrods, yesterday took a boat and went down tbe riyer hunting ducks. When they came to Crate's point they found a belt of ice, which was about one hundred yaids wide. They palled their boat over this and found clear water beyond. Journeying as far as Mosier thev were fortunate in having several shots and bagging some game. Iu the evening tbey returned by the same route, ariiving home about 7 o'clock. ' Grant's Pass Courier: Last Friday Robert McCartney, a bridge bnilder living at Wolf creek station, shot his wife accidentally in the hip with a 44-caliber Winchester. He was in tbe honse showing his brother-in-law how to handle the gun, wben the lady stepped iu front of them just as it accident ally went ff. The bullet tore along nnder the skin for a few inches but did not strike inward. The coup e are rooming at Col. Carry's residence and Mrs. McCartney, who is a yoong woman of twenty, is recovering rapidly. A Vancouver paper gives the following account of the experiences of two men on a scow in the Columbia: "For seyeral days previous to the break in the ice g"rge at RyaA's point, a scow was observed to be far ont in the ice, a prisoner. People were seen npon it moving about for several days, bat knowledge of the ownership or occupancy beyond this seemed to be bard to obtain until Saturday. Two brothers named But ler, who had lived at Cape Horn, had the sco1 and they lived on it. It was caught in the ice pack one night and steadily moved down the river with it. Thev bad food and fuel, and kept very comfortable through iSlEI VSaSl the storms. They landed about two miles above Vancouver Saturday evening, making in the three week tweutv-hve miles. Ibe deserted scow broke loose and passed down the river Sunday afternoon, when the first break in tbe gorge occurred." Journal: W. W. Baker is still state food commissioner. Ibe legislature elected Charles' Holman, a son of Captain Charles Holman. under tbe new law, to be state tood and dairy commissioner for two years. A bill repealing the old law under which Holman was elected, was filed with the sec retary of state last night, so there is a va cancy, and the old state tood commissioner probably holds over according to the consti tution, until bis successor is appointed. If Mr. Holman had been elected under tbe new law after going into effect, or had been named in the bill, he wonld be in lor a term of two years. As it is he is not. Yesterday a perBOn claiming to be a mem ber of the law firm ot Killin. Star. & Thomas, called npon a lawyer in tbis city, and in the evening secured a loan ot $10, Tne gentleman suspected that the man was talsely personating the nrm, ana procured his signature to a draic on tne rirsc na tional bank by Kiilin, Star & Thomas. After some inquiry and comparing the in itials of this man with those of tbe member of the firm he was fully satisfied that crime had been committed, and had the marshal arreat the man. He was arrested and lodged in jail, and the. case bas been continued for ten days. Ihe yonng man has an in tell ectnal face, and a fiue appear anca. Governor Pennoyer to-day made the ap pointment of Oregon world's fair commis sioners as follows: W. r . Matlock, irom the state board of agriculture, of Pendleton; R. D. Allen, from the state board of borti culture, Sitverton; E. B. McElroy, from the board of education; George 1. Myers. representing the hob interests, rortland; Clarence W. Avers, the mining interests, Portland; Mrs. E. W. Allen, of Portland, trom July 1, and- Mrs. Dr. Payton, Salem, until July 1.

Additional judges of tbe circuit court tor the fourth judicial circuit H. Huriey, de partment No. 2, and M. G. Munly, depart ment No. 4. Governor Pennoyer has an ardent admirer tbe person ot George W, Barnes, of Prinevilie, Crook county, who writes to bis excellency: "Snow blockades have almost isolated ns this winter, but it chinooked long enough the other day to open a passage for the news that Oregon's cranky governor had vetoed the world's fair appropriation bill, and We want to reach across the snow- lrifts and shake. During the last five or six vears nine teuths of the boy babies born in tbis county were named Sylvester Pen noyer, and when we came to the fork of tbe roads and you refused to go on with the Democratic procession, but poked on in a by-path all to yourself, we seriously thought of petitioning the legislature to pass a gen eral bill changing the names of onr boy ba bies, but it is all right now. Sylvester Pennoyer Brown, Jones, Smith,, or whatever else it .may be, goes. Darn your political gnirption, but hurrah for your . business sense." He is Known and Eespected. On November 1892, an article was published in the Cold water (Mich.) Repuh- lie, descriptive of a trip up the Columbia to tbis city,in which Capt. John McNulty, of the Regulator, received frequent men tion for his untiring efforts to entertain his gnests. This was from Ibe pen of Mrs. E. J Sampson, and excerpts from it were reprinted in a co temporary, in which the name of Captain McNulty, we are in formed, was purposely eliminated. Wo haye read the article and the excepts, and there is no doubt it was garbled in this particular. To show .that tbe efforts of tbe captain were appreciated we are re quested to publish the following letter from the lady : Cold water, Dec. 11, 1892. Capt. J. Mctiutty: ' DbabSik Perhaps you remember my self and husband riding in the pilot house of the Regulator one afternoon iu October. You so charmingly entertained us with jour stories of early life along the Colum bia, it afforded me many interesting items tor my articles for the paper tor which I was writiog. I send you the number with the "Columbia River" article. . Any fault discovered in the telling oi the sto ries, please attribute to my defective memory. I shall never forget that lovely view of Mt. Hood, the moonlight night, or Capt. McNulty, who helped to make the trip one of great pleasure. liesp'y yours, ' Mbs. E. J. Sampson. Will Ban the Engine. Miss Ida Hewitt, of Cairo, W. Va.t who is said to be the on'y fern tie locomotive en gineer in tbe world, has been engaged by the women commissioners of the world's fair to rnn the first train over the grounds on tne opening day of the exposition. She will leave for Chicago about a week before the opening day. She is a pretty girl, and lnring tne first trip of the engine will wear a costume of a Spanish girl of the 14th cen tury. In reply to a proposition made to Miss Hewitt to become a member of the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, it is reported - that she . replied that, while she coold not find it in her heart to become a brother to them, she would be a sister to tbem as long as she lived. The commis sioners are said to have had a great deal of tronble in inducing her to run the engine at the fair, as she shrank from appearing an a sort of "freak." The road npon which Miss Hewitt is now running regularly is the Cairo & Little Kanawana, owned mostly by the girl's father, a man of wealth. She is popular socially, and is a model house keeper. The Union Whist Club. From Thursday's Daily.' The Union whist club was entertained last evening by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hob son. The evening was devoted to drive whist, ten tables being arranged for. Tbe club are becoming rapid - players and twenty-five hands were soon played. Mrs. H. Glenn received the first prize a beauti ful vase. Flaying whist is an incentive to ippetite, and it was with joyons hearts that all proceeded to the elegant sapper provided by Lr. ljogan lor tne club, i he toothsome viands rapidly disappeared, even more so than the cards were played. Among those present were: Judge and Mrs W L Brad--haw, Mr and Mrs L E Crowe, Mr and Mrs J B Crossen, Judge and Mrs G C Blakeley, Mr and Mrs W H Hohson. Mr and Mrs W Lord, Mr and Mrs F L Houghton, Mr and Mrs J C Hostetler, Mr and Mrs H Glenn, Mr and Mrs W H Wilson, Mr an4 Mrs G P Morgan, Dr and Mrs W E Kinehart, Judge and Mr A S Bennett, Mr and Mrs E C Pease, Mr and Mrs Cbas Hilton. Mrs H M Be ale and Dr H Logan., The trouble from washouts at bridges near Hay station, on the Spokane branch of the Union Pacific, will, it is reported, continue for a day or two longer. A few bents in bridges Nos. 14 and 16 have been washed away.

ADDRESS: SAN FRANCISCO, CAk J W trat.arinnfi Death. Moro Observer. On Thursday last the dead body of John Kennitick. a bachelor wbo resided in the neighborhood of Kent, this county, was found on a private road or trail leading from deceased's house to the residence of Joe Elliott, another of Kent's citizens. The body was at once conveyed to the honse of deceased, and the coroner notified of the fact. The doty of holding an inquest on the remains devolved on Justice Donohue as there is no acting coroner in tbe county, Dr. I. M. Smith, of Moro, and Dr. Rollins, of Grass Valley, were summoned to make an examination of the body and hastened to the scene of the occurrence on Friday after noon. An examination of the body devel oped the fact that the skull was badly frac tured, the wound being sufficient to cause death. Bat bow the wound was inflicted con d not be definitely ascertained. Various theories are afloat,soms being of the opinion that the deceased fell fiom bis horse while riding home bareback from a neighbor's house a couple of nights previous, and that in falling he struck some bard substance causing the fracture on the skull, while others seem to think that the wound was inflicted by some kind of a weapon or heavy bar. We have not seen a copy of the ver dict found at the inquest, but leaxnJbat it is substantially to the effect that death re sulted from a wound on the skull inflicted by some means unknown. The deceased was in good circumstances. He had no relatives in the county, his brother being a resident of California. The latter has been notified of his brother's un timely end. The Babble has Burst. In tbe Goldcndale Sentinel of last Thurs day is published the summons of J. Barger, plaintiff, vs. The Interstate Investment Co., 0. D. Taylor and about one hundred other defendants, including the Columbia River Glass Works.in which the first named party prays for a judgmeut against the above- named defendants for the sum of $3500 and interest thereon at the rate of one per cent, per month from and after 1st day of Novem ber, 1892, costs and disbursements and at torneys fees in the sum of $175. Tbe plain tiff states in this summons that without tbis mount is paid before the 25th day of April, 1893, the prayer of said complaint will be allowed and the lands (described by metes and bounds) of the said c mpaoy be sold to satisfy the same. In ettect, this action is to recover $3500 on i mortgage on North Dalles alias Grand Dalles, which was exe cuted to satisfy the payment of said amount. Sometimes bubbles burst because of tbeir cwn inherent inflation, and perhaps this msy with the reason of the rock piles and sand dunes on the north side of the Colum bia. We feel sorry for the innocent victin.s who were deluded to invest their money npon representations, bat cannot criticise too severely those who perpetrated the sche me. . ' The Complete Text.

Student. A Successful Trip. The Regulator bad a difficult time in get ting to the Cascades yesterday. At Crate's point she struck an ice pack, broke through it and proceeded-on her jouroey. A little farther down she became faat on an ice floe and was forced to throw a line ashore to get loose. Notwithstanding these obstacles the boat pulled up at her Wharf at thb Locks in good time, discharged ber' freight and started on the return trip about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. She arrived at Crate's point aboot 5 o'clock and found that the pack bad again become solid, and experienced great difficulty in cutting through. Going down the current was in ber favor, bnt in return ing she had to battle against the force of the water and break the ice at the same time. Soon after 11 o'clock at night she made her wharf not the least damaged by reason of the difficulties encountered. Tbe Dalles City was also successful in reaching tbe foot of the locks, and was forced to cnt her way through several obstructions. In the neighborhood of Vancouver there were two or three floes through which she waa forced to. make a passage. Eazor-Edged Technicalities. The rase of A. C Collins vs. H. Herbring was on trial in the circuit court to-day, and the jury empanelled were E W Trout, Geo Joles, A Bettingen, jr., Geo W Miller, S B Adams, James Harper, W C Hansell, John Wood. Argument was had this morning on a motion to non-suit, made by defend ant's counsel, which was taken nnder ad visement until afternoon, wben the judge overruled the motion. The facts appears to be that tbe plaintiff left this city owing Mr. Herbring, and be attached property for the debt. After tbe sale of the attached prop erty the defendant attempts to set aside the sale and snes Mr. Herbring for damages, claiming that the proceedings were not technically legal. The razor-edge techni calities of law, we presume, will always re main, one it woras great hardships on creditors, in many instances, to be debarred from collecting tbeir just claims for the commission of a clerical error or tbe misi n terpretatioo of dubious statutory pro vision. - ' Letters Advertised.
