The steamer Argo is tied up at Astoria
on account of the Columbia river being
frozen over, consequently she was
unable to reach Portland. Good use is
being made of the time the steamer is
tied up putting in new bulk heads and
making preparations to carry pas
sengers. Part of the crew was paid off,
as there is no difficulty in getting sailors
wliei ever they are wanted.

Representative Hawley introduced a
bill in the house appropriating $150,000
for operating the new dredge “Oregon.’’
recently constructed for use in the har
bors along the Oregon and Washington
coast. The bill provides that the dredge
shall first operate at Coos Bay, then go
to Coqniile, Tillamook harbor, Gray«
Harbor, Willapa Bav, and such other
points as may be designated by the Sec
retary of War.
He also introduced a
bill providing that the unexpired balance
of the appropriation for thejetty at Coos
Bay, amounting to about $25,000, be
expended in operating the dredge “Ore
gon,” now at Coos Bay in widening and
deepening the channel at that point.
Tillamook County came in for some
of the cold weather which swept over
the North west, and about a foot of snow
fell in the county, while at the summit of
the Coast range two and a half feet of
snow is reported to have fallen. For
several days the glass was below freezing
point in the morning, registering 13 be
low one morning. Sleighing became gen
eral all over the county, and all manner
of contrivances were turned into sleighs,
which afforded a good deal of enjoyment
to the people, for it is seldom that snow
of sufficient depth falls in Tillamook to
allow of sleighing. Although the freeze
extended over several days it did not
freeze as hard as it did for several dajs
two years since. The cold snap crippled
business and put a stop to most all out
door work. The weather turned warmer
today and it commenced raining.
A11 adjourned meeting of the city coun
cil was held on Monday evening, with
Mayor Coates and Councilman F. W.
Talbot and G. P. Wilt present, which
placed the city council in the same pre
dicament that prevailed at the previous
meeting, viz., with not enough council
men present to do business. To facili
tate this. Mayor Coates had the votes
for councilmen for the third and filth
wards recounted, with this result : 3rd
ward, B. C. Lamb, 18; F. W. Christen
sen. 16. 5th ward, W. S. Hays, 20 ; G.
Bennett. 20. As Mr. Hays, who was
present, declined to serve, Mr. Bennett
and Mr. Lamb were declared elected.
Mayor Coates read a number of the or
dinances for the information of the city
marshal in regard to the enforcement of
the law, and i.i the discussion of which
the Press took an active part and told
Marshal Kimball in plain words that if
he failed to enforce the laws and did
nothing to prevent the lawlessness that
is now going on within the city he should
resign and allow someone else to fill his
place, in answer to which the marshal
>aid he would try and do something
as soon as the city council organized.

have been arrested by city detectives
and .special railroad detectives from
Kansas City on the charge of working a
confidence game on a ranchman on a
Union Pacific train.
Fred Briody, a ranchman of Clover
dale, Oregon, was relieved of $95 by
confidence men as an early morning
U. P. train passed through Topeka The
men dropped off the train at the U. P.
and Santa Fe junction in the east part
of the citv. Briody went through to
Kansas City where he was met by F.
\V. Stevens, a (J. P. detective, who had
been wired by the conductor, Stevens
immediately telegraphed the chief of
police here to watch all trains, and tak
ing the man doubled back to Topeka.
All trains were carefully watched, but
no one answering the description of the
men .was seen until last night when
Stevens and Briody saw these men make
for a train. Briody immediately recog
nized them as the men who got his
money. Stevens'and an officer detnined
the men and phoned fur the patrol
wagon.
One of the men who worked Briody
left his coat on the train. This coat
contained* folder bearing much figuring,
which figuring is remarkably like that
on some paper found in the pockets of
Quinlaid. Quinlan did not »have an
overcoat tv hen arrested and this one
fits him very well. Burroughs, besides
being held on investigation was tried
this morning for carrying a revolver and
lined $25 by Judge Urmy. Burroughs
says lie is an elevator man at Grantville
and carrying much negotiable paper
needs a gun. He said he brought it to
Topeka to be repaired ; but he came up
Saturday and had been here ever since
and had not had it repaired, so the judge
found that he carried it for other reas
ons than to be tinkered by a gunsmith.
The gun is a big Colt, carried in a hol
ster, and was found ,t°
splendid
working order.
Quinlan is a farmtr living near New.
man. His people are well known and
influential. A score of the men's friends
and a priest were in conference with them
this morning. It is expected a convic
tionwill be difficult on -account of any
number of alibis. Last night both of the
men showed return tickets to their sta
tions, but the promptness with which
they thought of this, kails the officers
to believe they had them in reserve as
they .ire 30 day tickets. Ome of the
friends who had no reason to know that
Quinlan was without an overcoat, vol
untcered positive information to an
officer that he did not have.

fore leaching Topeka a man giving the
name of Brooks came in and sat down
beside him saying that he did not like
to uit up ahead w here the passengers
were all foreigners. Conversation began
and Brooks said he too, was from Ken
lucky. His sister’s husband had just
died in Idaho, he said, and he was ship
ping the goods to Oklahoma. Just then
the other fellow entered and asked Briody
if he was Brooks. Brooks spoke up that
he was the man. Then the other with
the air of an official, said there was
some more money due oil that ship
ment.
Brooks produced a draft fur $1,200
and offered it to the man who could not
cash it. Brooks then appealed to Briodv
for some money on the draft until they
could cash it. He counted out $95. a
reasonably fair price for a $1,200 draft,
and turned it over to Brooks who made
the payment to the official. Briody
says he tried to keep tab on the men,
but just as the ¡train was leaving tie
city they dropped off. which was at ti e
