publicans.
Joseph F. Smith, president of the
Mormon church, has tunned quite a
sensation by li:n frank announcement
that he is tho possessor of five wiveH,
testimony given in tho congressional
Investigation in tho matter of seating
Senator Kued Smoot. Biuitli blames
tho congressmen fur drugging hi
privato atTairs to tho light and mys
that tho matter belongs wholly to the
aatliorities of the jtnle of Utah.
For the benefit, not of Mr. A. Mo

PRIZE WINNING MONTH
February Went to the Extreme
For Dampness.
Monday in Grunts 1'uhs wni a prize
taler for wetness. After a few days
of beautiful sunshiny weather follow
ing a rainy tlino unoiiimplod induru
tiou, the elements started In ou Hun
day evening to tlomonstriito tho fact
that there was yet plenty of moisture
In stock. Tho rain poured Incessantly
all Sunday night and Monday. The
air was warm and the utorm was
without wind, tho ruin plunging
straight down in big drops. 1'cdosrit-
ans under umbrellas were not entirely
protected aa tho forco of tho falling
drops actually diovo I lie water
through tho cloth, sprinkling the in
dividual beneath with fine spray.
On Mouduy every depression was a
lake and overy creek a river, with a
"ground sluice head" running in
every gutter. Iu tho afternoon, the
.volume of water In tho creek which
ruus through the east sido of town
becamo too great for the capacity of
the brick tunnel at tho head of Sixth
street and the wuter loured down
that street iu a lolling flood. It fol
lowed the gutter ou tho west side an
far as A street when it divided and
sent portion of tho wetness through
the court houso yard. Tho greater
portion of tins wuter used the
front walk of tho ct urt houso as a
routo to rejoin tho main flood in the
slreot ami dustroyed tho symmetry oi
tho granite sidewulk by boring out
several unsightly boles just in flout
of tho court houso gale. From the
court house to tho railroad track the
water followed both sides of the street
lmimrtlally overflowing tho crossings
to a depth of several Inches. In
front of Haunard's furniture store,
Hotel Josephine, Vov' storo and the
ojK'ra house block, the water rippled
merrily over tho sidewalks. There
was uo way of dodging it. The ped
estriaus were compelled to brave the
yellow Hood and to ford the stormy
waters. Some went on tiptoe, others
crosaed in long hups and strides while
others splashed stoically iu ordinary
gait. Along some of the more deeply
submerged sidewalks, (ho city force
of street workers laid thick planks,
anchoring thorn to thu walk by a rno.
On these a straight walker was able
to mss dry shod from one high spot to
another. Toward euniing tho ram
slackened and the wateis ouicUv
subsided and resumed their ualurul
course.
The railroad Hack at the Sixth
street crossing was covered to a depth
of several niches and each passage ol a
tralii was acconi auied by a 11 erup
tion of light brown water. Au oblig
ing man stood for si me time with it
plank, laying it across the track to
accommodate pi di sti inns and remov
ing it to allow trams (0 pans.
A small boy going ,mo f,,,,,,

tho lower cotmr of tho court house
block. Tho walk was hidden by the

but their wauti prevaiietli nothing,
for it is raining every day. Those
who have lots of hay for sale predict
now aud are almost praying 'or snow
in as to disjioso of the hay before the
uew crops come. Hay is quoted at
120 per tou at preteut.
The bon rrowers of Southern Oregon
ire quiet put out on account of so
much rain, which prolongs the work,
uch as grubbing, plowing. So far
there are quite a' few yards in the
vicinity which have not yet cut
the vines from the poles. This
time last season, work was rapidly
progressing throughout the vallev.
At present everything is lying
sib ut, waitiug for good weather.
The leap year ball given March 4,

A Good Meal:
for 60 cents!
It costs more to operate a dining-car than it does
to run a restaurant and yet, in Burlington diners,
prices are no higher than in a good restaurant and
not nearly as high as in an expensive one.
A good meal can be had for 60 cents and an ex
cedent one for half as much again.
On the Burlington you can depend upon getting
just what you want at a piice you can afford to pav.
