Th e clouds that ha ve h ung over it since last November, have disappeared, and once more we are favored with the clear sky, bright sunshine and clear, crisp weather that we are accustomed to enjoy.: There is a flour famine in Fossil juat now. Few of the citizens have as much as a sack of flour on hand, and many are entirely out and are living on corn meal and self-rising flour, of which there are a few sacks In store. The cause of the famine is the state of the roads, over .which neither flour nor wheat can be hauled in. The regularly elected representa tives to the Oregon legislature having failed to transact business that was de manded by the people, it has been de termined to hold a brief session in the Vogt next Tuesday evening in order to regulate affairs and set an example for the 60 Solons who have been playing legislature at Salem the past 40 days.

' A move is on foot in Sherman county. to build a railroad from Biggs to Wasco. Rights-of-way have been se cured for nearly the entire length of the proposed road, on the agreement that work on the road shall be com menced by April 15. It is not known who the instigators of the move are, but in all probability if it is built it will be a branch line of the O. R. & N. The Thomas Kay woolen mills lSmthe kitchen yet remains precisely are now running to the full,.i. nBtka t,A pAiBhratnii .Tw. The oaiem are uuw ruuuiuK w mjp I'a paclty.

The quality of cloth being., turned out by the new machinery is highly satisfac tory. 'Uncle John" Minto, secretary of the board of horticulture, considers the prospects for a big fruit crop this year flattering. The present spring like days might bring out the buds too early, but for the frosty nights, that keep back the sap. The shortage of the fruit crop last year was deeply felt throughout the state, and the condi tion of orchards will be watched with interest this year. : . - Douglas Allen, proprietor of. The Dalles-Moro stage line, in connection with L. D. Holder, contemplates ex tending the line on to Antelope. The trip .from The -Dalles to Antelope will be -mad6 in twenty-four hours, carrying fast freight and passen gers. This will be a big con venience to the people of Antelope and vicinity, as it will give them direct communication with the county seat. On Tuesday H. A. Webber secured a judgment against the D. P. & A. N. Co., in Justice McDavit's court at Portland, for $189. The case grew out of the wrecking of -the Dalles City last November. Webber was manager for the Spanish Students who were on board the boat when it met with the accident, and alleged in his complaint that by reason of the troupe not reach ing The Dalles on the date advertised, he was damaged in the sum sued for.

Mclntyre, from Sherman county was adjudged in sane and committed to the asylum at Salem. The examination was held by Dr. Hollister before Recorder Phelps. It will be of Interest to all to hear the address of Dr. Sanders at the court house tomorrow evening. His remrks will be confined to the financial ques tion and the history of money. Eery- body invited. . Joseph Southwell says petit theves are heeoming too familiar it his neighborhood. They, have etien a sarkile and a number of sheep putts frum him, and numerous small articles from ui a-.-ihbori ' La Grande .is inarnest aboui estab lishing a boet sugar factory.

Wasco county farming lands are at tracting attention abroad; besides num erous inquiries ' from parties seeking locations here, there are ten families in one company in the Willamette val ley who have stated they intend to come into this county soon and pur chase farms. Jehu Switzler tells an exchange that the cold weather has not injured the fruit trees along the Columbia river. Hecontemplates going into the horse butchering business for foreign markets. He has more horses than any other man in the Inland Empire, and will make an effort to dispose of them in this manner. M. A. Moody leaves tomorrow morn ing for his annual snow shoeingtrip to Cloudcap Inn. At Hood River he will be joined by W. A. Langill, of Hood River, F. W. Leadbetler, of tho Ore-- gonian staff, and Thomas Balfour, of Lyle. The party expects to reach the inn some time Sunday and will return Monday. Hon. W. H.' Biggs returned last night from a visit to Wasco. Mr. Biggs says the farmers of Sherman county were never more hopeful than at present. Flattering crop prospects, the outlook for good prices and the probability of a railroad being built into the great wheat belt this season cause them all to feel that prosperity will prevail throughout the country the coming season. . . Checks have arrived from Washing ton with which the receiver of the National bank at Pendleton can now pay another dividend. The dividend this time is 20 per cent, and it is the fourth divident declared. When this 20 per cnt is distributed, there, will have beeu paid ' So per' cent of the claims which were held against the bank when it went into the receiver's hands. Yesterday in mentioning the pro posed railroad leading from Biggs to Wasco in Sherman county, it was stated that if the road was built it would probably be a branch of the O. R. & N. This appears to be a mistake. since parties who are connected with the project positively state that the O.' R. & N. will not be interested directly or indirectly in the road. ' It will be built by a local corporation, and theri is au almost absolute certainty, tbaT it will be constructed the couing sum mer. . "s, .?"V'L- . - a rec?n trasfter in- London states ttial IS-'SrhoZe of Facin. of Dickens v . room in which he taught Oliver Twist and his friends to play the "little game" in which the "merry old gen tleman" was so delighted, has been somewhat altered by recent occupants. One great charm of Dickens' works lies in the fact that most of the houses in which the scenes he so vividly por trays were enacted are still standing, many of them just as they originally were built, and can be readily found by the tourist along Fleet street. Dp to Date Service. A great many Pacific' coast people, when contemplating a trip east and when bringing friends west, know very little about the interior lines, and the object of this article is to afford re liable information. In the first place for good time and service select a route via St. Paul and Minneapolis, because the lines that way are continuous under one system without any change of cars, and every man from peanut agent up, is a cour teous, reliable and experienced officer, ready to aid and protect you in every emergency and capable of making you feel at. home and comfortable during the long journey. Then see that your ticket reads via the Wisconsin Cen tral lines, because that thoroughfare affords strictly first-class service, and the meals on its dining cat s (always reasonable in price) are equalled by few and excelled by none. Geo. S. Batty, 246 Stark St., Portland, Or., is general agent for this company and will cheerfully furnish you a neat and handy calendar and full information on the subject of transportation, if ad dressed or called upon, and any agent will upon application, sell you a ticket over the Wisconsin Central Lines A Contract Becared. A contract has been secured by the management of the Vogt opera house calling for a date with Herr Carl Wal ther, the famous violinist, and Effie Blaine Hext, the eminent Shakesper ian scholar and entertainer; and thier date has been .fixed for Monday, March 1. This is quite flattering for the local management, for the American tour of this company is limited to 104 engage ments, and;the company will sail for Australia early in the Bpring. Hicks OK the Weather. Rev. Irl R. Hicks, editor of Word and Work, is beyond question the most accurate .weather prognosticator in the country, .seldom making mis takes in his forecasts, and - it is not amiss to heed his prophesies. In the February number of Word and Work be predicts the last half of this month will witness much unsettled weather, andjome heavy storms will prevail. The month will close with warm weather, low barometer and rain turning into snow in the north and west. Severe storms will occur in March and heavy frosts until April 20. All pain banished by Dr. HUea Pain Pills. DON'T SE&L 1NDIAKS WHISKEY. i . . .- It ha Again Been Made a Penal Oflense to do no. For the otst few years Indians who had taken lands in severalty have been considered citizens of tlw United States, aud according to the decisions of the courts it has been no offense to sell them intoxicating liquors; but on Jan. 26 a bill passed by congress approved by the president which is as follows: Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assem bled: That any person who shall sell, gve away, dispose of, exchange or bar ter, hjMtuous, or vinous liquors, in cludingWr, ale and wine, or any ar dent or othf intoxicating liquor of any kind whatever, or any essence, extract, bitters, proration, com pound, composition, or '.jay article whatsoever, under the-nam, label, brand, which produces io toxica ion in any Indian to whom allotment of nd has been made while tho title to t same shall be held in trust by the gov ernment, or to any Indian a ward of the government under charge of any Indian agent or superintendent of any Indian, including mixed bloods over whom the government through its de partments exercises guardianship, and any person who snail introduce any malt, spirituous or vinous liquor, in cluding beer, ale and wine, or any ar dent or intoxicating liquor of any kind whatsoever into the Indian coun try, which term shall include any In dian allotment while the title of the same shall be held in trust by the gov. ernment, or while the same shall re main inalienable by the allottee with out the consent of the United States, shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 60 days, and by a fine of not less than $100 for the first offense and not less than $200 for each offense thereafter. Provided, however, That the person convicted shall be committed until fine and costs are paid. But it shall be a sufficient defense to any charge of in troducing or attempting to introduce ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine or intox icating liquors into the Indian coun try, that the acts charged were done under authority, in writing, from the war department or any officer di'ly au thorized thereunto by the war depart ment. TO WIPE OUT SALOONS. The Washington House Passes the Dis pensary Bill. Washiagton is on tho verge of wip ing out all of her saloons and' whole sale liquor houses by adopting a pro hibitory law similar to that governing the sale of liquors in South Carolina. The dispensary act, known as the Ciine bill, passed the bouse Tuesday by a vote of 47 ayes to 30 noes, much to the surprise of the bouse itself. The measure was supported by nearly all the niddle-of-the-road populists and by a few silver republicans. The pro posed 'aw puts the full control of the liquor '.raffic in the hands of the gov- ernor,tut eliminates from the South Carulina law the profit system that brings ;hat state an enormous revenue. The Vashington bill provides that the .governor shall appoint a stat coinmisuny with in turn shall appoint county commissioners, and tjjjay in .turn.appint-.JocalispjairaerB. All liquo,-iefrbandled through the 8ta.fc-"commi88ion, i with a sufficient profit attached to pay all of the ex pense of the different boards and dis pensatories. No liquor is sold at re tail to be drunk upon the premises, and minors and drunkards are pro hibited under penalties against state agents from receiving it. Liquor is to be sold only in quantities of not less than a pint nor more than five gallons. HE DIDN'T SAT IT. Senator Dnf ur Never Offered to Surrender the Portage Bill. - The following unwarranted state ment appeared a few days Since in the Salem Journal: , .VI throw my bill for a portage rail road to relieve the farmers of Eastern Oregon to the dogs. . What Orecon needs is a funding bill senator to help the Pacific railroads rob the farmers. Senator Dufur." To this the Salem Statesman replies: "Senator Dufur has never, since his arrival in Salem as a representative from Wasco, Gilliam and Sherman counties, either in the lobby, in joint convention, on the senate floor, in committee room, nor in the environ ments of his social life here, given ut terance to anything that by any possi ble contrivance or contortion could be construed into a declaration such as he is here lyingly charged with uttering. "The portage railway bill now before the senate, is the dearest purpose of his heart and he has done all an active, zealous and conscientious representa tive could do to further its destiny. "The context in the foully, inspired paragraph contains a sentiment he has never in his life endorsed or "sought to promulgate, privately or publicly. The quotation is gratuitous in every -line and syllable and could have found pub licity in no other paper in the state." Those Who Contributed.

A Handsome Folder. : Ihe Northern Pacific has issued a handsome folder that is not only ar tistic but is a source of convenience to the traveling public. It gives a fine birds-eye view of the Spokane-Kootenai mining country, showing every mining camp of importance in the Columbia river basin, and an outline of the com pany's lines In the mining district. Besides there is much descriptive mat ter concerning the mining districts of the Northwest. ' Address A. D. Charl ton, 255 Morrison St., Portland, for a copy of the folder. A Narrow Escape. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon J. H. Jackson was driving down the bill between Five and Three-mile creeks in a cart coming towards town, when his horse fell, throwing Mr. Jackson forward.' In some way his feet became entangled, and he was dragged about 100 yards before he got loose from the cart. . Mr. Jackson was so severely stunned that he was inser sible, but when he regained conscious ness, his horse ' was no where to be be seen, and his head and face was severely bruised, though his injuries are not dangerous. At a house near by be received assistance to dress his wounds, after which he wad able walk into town. The horse wanderei about the race track all night, an was found with the cart attached U him this morning, no damage havinjr been done to it except the breaking oi the axle. FASHION IN Fo . H.'.iri.

Even "suttcn ehr-ps," rejrard- ed in Ameriot until lately as the peculiar mark of n Englishmen, were not generally ad-nted by the stauler Britons. As for m staches, only mili tary men wore them, and. indeed, cav alry officers had almyet a monopoly of wis warmre appendage The infantry seldom adopted it anc many officers of high rank, like Welington. never wore it at any -period oi their career.

W;ion-8tory Nuptnalm At high noon today, at the residence of Judge and Mrs. J. L. Story, in this city, thelF-eldest "daughter, Miss Clara Bey. Story was united in marriage with Mr. Fred W. Wilson, by Rev; W. C. Curtis, pastor of the Congregational church, in the presence of immediate relatives and a few invited guests. Seldom is it the pleasant duty of the reporter to record so happy a wedding of two such worthy and generally re spected young people. Both -are well Known to the entire-community and inolude all residents of The Dalles in jhelr circle of acquaintances. . Almost their entire lives have been spent iu ' this city, and they have grown from childhood to the high position they occupyin society hare. For-aviiumber of years Mr. Wilson - has occupied the position of assistant cashier in French & Co's. bank, and by. his stri ct busi ness methods and exemplary life has won the respect and confidence of all -with whom he has .come in contact, and his bride is one of The Dalles' most charming daughters, whose friends are legion. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, amid a shower of rice and good wishes, took the after noon train for a ..week's . sojourn in Portland, when they will return to the pleasant home Mr. Wilson has prepared in this city.

There are no clocks in gambling houses, and there never will be, except those of the clock game variety. There's reason for this and a good one, too, in the opinion of the gentlemen with hurdle-course shirt fronts who personify the tiger, says the Chicago Tribune. "What's the time?" asked one of them the other morning early morn ing as he pulled a diamond studded watch from his pocket and answered the question. "Why don't we have a clock hanging np?" he continued. "Cause they cost money. I don't mean it takes more than the result of one deal to pay for one of 'em in the first place, but they're expensive in the end. Yon see it's this way: If we had a ticker on the wall and a fellow had promised to be home on the last car, and happened to look np and see that he had seven minutes to catch that car, why, it's nearly an even thing that he'd quit us and go home. That sort of business would soon burst us np. If he doesn't know what the time is he misses his car, then he doesn't give a rap what time he oes; he generally waits for the cable to start.again. That's where our 'soft .noney' comes in; men get reckless as the morning dawns. "No, sir; no clocks on my wall.
