It is an excellent pres ent that your friends will appreciate There could be no prettier snow fall than that which visited a large extent of Sherman county this week; 15 inches of pure quality on the dead level, without a drift any where in sight. It was just.the ideal for sleighing; but alas, it could not be so. The ground was frozen too bard to receive it as additional mois ture, and Wednesday it began to move off towrfrd the Columbia river at a roaring pace in shape of dirty water, destructive of everything in its path. At 7 o’clock last night the C 8 Ry station at Moro was surrend ered, and Mr Buxton had to drive his high wagon over to it, to carry people across, back to the city, who were waitiog for the Biggs train that was then reported backing down to the main line aa the bridge at Mc Donalds had washed out. Passing Lone Rook, east of Moro, the flood was said to be 10 feet deep; at De Moes, below Moro, 6 feet deep be tween the post office and depot; at grass Valley, 11 miles south of this oity, 4 fast. Water there had en tered the Buckley residence. Wseco suffered a similar fate, and all busi ness in the lower portion of the city about the depot was submerged. In all directions the wagon roads were horribly mutilated. Edgar Lewis volunteered to go to DeMoss after Mr and Mrs Talmage 0 . Davis, who were expected to play in the Lyric Bards concert. Mr Lewis reached DeMoss (8 miles from Moro), by way of Monkland, 14 miles; and re turned via. Sawtooth road. Ed says both roads were wretched, and that he wouldn’t undertake such another trip today for $50. Henry DeMoee and wife oonflrm that view of it. They came via Sawtooth, and found so many spot« where the bottom of the road had fallen out of sight that Mrs refused to return. This will not appear as an evidence of deser tion, as Henry himself willingly ao- quieaead. Along towards morning the floods run down to about mini mum,but avidenoe of havoo wrought are visible today in the lower part of the oity. The power house, city well, lumber yard, basements, cel lars, eto., needjng repairs, will cost more money for this one time, than it would ooet to fix it at once in a systematic manner for all time, forcing the 0 8 Ry Co to pay its full proportion of the expense.

Commenting on Senator Smiths’ resolution petitioning congress to remove the duty on jute, and jute fabrics, Gov.

It would stop any candidate from giving away anything, from a cigar to an auto, to secure a vote, or favor the consideration of his candidacy. But the bill gives the state printer a juicy plum, unless that official is placed on a salary this session, for it provides for a Stato Blue Book that shall be sold to candidates at from $5 to $100 a head, that shall contain the lineage, picture, plat form and statement of principles of the subscribers and that shall go to every voter in the state. The state printer does the work, and under the present system the Btate printer would get a fortune each election time from state candidates without any one apparently benefiting The money for this official personal ad vertising is not paid directly to the state printer, but to the stato treas urer, but if the work is still to be continued by the job system, then the state would not have much of a surplus by the time every voter had a copy of his hook. Auother scheme of this act that will bring joy to the hearts of school clerks,is that when the ¿tterks take the school censua they shall take a census of voters in the district and forward these to the secretary of state,who shall pay 3 to 5 oents for each name sent, ac cording to the number forwarded.
