A COLD RIDE,

The Walls Walla Statesman describes
recent trip of Gen. 7. Il. Tannatt's
through a portion of Eastern Washing
ton AZ follows:
The General left here some ten DAYS
ago taking the train for Riparia OF
Texas Ferry. From that point he was
compelled to go 10 Penewawa on astone
boat. From the latter place he, in CON-
pany with another gentleman, chartered
a private sleigh and started across the
country to Colfax, q distance Of nine
teen miles. 1t was bitter cold-the
thermometer marking % deg. below zero.
Upon arriving At Collar it was found
that both Mr.. Tannatt's and his oom-
panion's feet were frozen, and the for
mer gentleman declares he don't see
how they ever succeeded in getting
through. At no time during his entire
trip through the upper country did the
thermometer rise above 10 deg, and he
reports much hardship among the farm
ers for the want of wood. In several
cases he knew of the settlers tearing
down their fences and burning them
fer stove wood. This was necessary to
prevent extreme suffering from cold.
The stock as yet are doing nicely,
though had it not been for the o. I. Co.,
there would have been great mortality
among the horses aud cattle. The
agents of the company were instructed
to loan farmers feed, which act OF kind
ness was gratefully appreciated. Gen.
Tannatt cites one case when An old
farmer came to him and said he had no
money; that his stock was suffering and
he must have feed. He was given what
he desired, and in payment he rendered
two live hogs. Hay in the Rebel and
Union Flats Is selling for $l7 per ton,
though the o. /. Co. can't affsrd to let
theirs go for that figure, preferrinc to
loan it to the needy than to soil. This
winter, while it has been hard one,
will serve one good purpose-namely,
it will learn the settlers to provide for
their stock. They will find out that
they can't always depend on the range
to carry them through the winter. The
sooner they reduce their stock interests
and devote more time to agricultural
pursuits, just SO much sooner will they
begin to prosper. And their prosperity
means good times for the merchants
and tradespeople. The soil is too rich
and too capable of heavy cereal pro-
ductieu to allow stock to roam over the
land at present. The General sold 13
quarter sections of land during his
trip, and states that the sales in the Pa
louse country last month aggregate
So, 900 through local agents of the o. /.
Company.

THE CHEHALIs VALLEY RAILROAD

The Valley Vidette, the new paper at
Montesano, and the first paper in Che
halls county, has this to say of tho Port
Blakely Mill Company's projected road
from the head of Puget Sound to Che
halls river:
The Port Blakely Company has made
all preliminary arrangements for con-
struction, and early in the coming
spring will begin operations, with the
avowed purpose Of building standard
gage railroad from the mouth of Little
Skookum, tributary of Puget Sound,
to the tidewster on Gray's Harbor.
During the coming summer this line
will be pushed forward to some point
near Elma, and during the following
wear it will touch the Chehalis river at
Montesano.
That this company will build as above
stated, may be regarded as q fact en-
tirely beyond question. 1t must build
in order to protect immense interests of
its own. Upon the line of this pro
posed road, it already owns some $4,000
acres of timber, and of this larO Dor
ton was purchased from the Northern
Pacific Company as stumpago merely,
no title to the land having passed with
the transfer. BY the terms of this pur-
chase, this timber must be removed
from the Land upon which il stands,
within ten years from the date thereof,
otherwise it will revert to the railroad
company. From this II will b readily
seen that inasmuch as this timber can
only be removed through the agency
of q railroad, the Blakely Company
cannot afford to sustain the loss OF the
price already paid for it, and much less
can it afford the sacrifice Of the mag
nificent business prospects which a
failure to remove this timber within the
above mentioned time will certainly in
volve. As the time yet remaining for the
removal of the timber is not moro than
sufficient for that purpose, even with
the utmost activity in the direction Of
railroad construction, the conclusion
that the Blakely company will at once
commence building, and will push ita
operations with all possible energy Is
inevitable, and when the foregoing
facts are considered IN connection with
the most positive declaration, which we
have personally heard from those wholly
in the confidence of che company, to
the effect that the road is to be built
next season, no one need hesitate ia
believe that it will in the near future
be one of the prominent institutions OF
this county and valley.

Fearful Accident.

persons. Inc uepOtS were Oue-stOty
frame. resting on Mclean avenue, which
is almost covered by water: both sides
filled with water from 30 to 80 feet deep.
L he catastrophe was FASTENED by the
breaking of sewer, which sent cur
rent along the bank. Crowds were in
the vicinity looking at the flood. 1t is
supposed these are the victims.
CINCINNATI, Feb. l3.-It Is impossible
vet to tell the extent OF the disaster.
The Southern Railroad depot is only a
freight depot. A great crowd of people
were there looking at the flood, when
Ryan's restaurant. a small building
near by, went down. The crowd
rushed over on the platform of the de-
pot to see what was the matter, when
suddenly the whole depot collapsed. and
sank in the water. The track was al
the same time depressed, and cars
standing close ran into the depression,
covering the people who had gone
down with the falling structure. Not
one body was recovered at o'clock
nor could by-s;anders give any intelli
gent account of how many escaped
The work of recovering the drowned
will be exceedingly difficult. The place
ia isolated. There is danger of Other
parts of the street giving as this portion
did.
The latest information makes it de-
finite that three boys, two freight
handlers and four members OF Coup
circus were drowned. No bodies were
recovered. The names of the members
os the circus were Miss Fannie Rein
dolf of New York, VIM. F. Franklin
VIM. C. Mathews of st. Louis. Th'
baggage master says he heard rush
| ing noise when Ryan's liquor salool
went down, and he hurried around and
saw the depot give way. He said a
least 50 persons we're thrown IN tn
water. II appears certain the disaste
was caused by the breaking OF the grea
sewer. Twenty-Five feet of one end
the freight depot, and half the passen
ger depot are gone, the latter bein
separate.

There is a constant effort on the part of that
grim monster Disease to become master Of
mortal man. Only a careful observance Of
natural laws can render his efforts unav ailing.
Yet too often injudcious excesses, sudden
changes, too great exposure, improper food
or other abuses Of nature open the gateway
and Disease gains victory. Sometimes its
mastery is so complete that nature of herself
can never effect a dislodgment. In such in

of Browns Iron Bitters, and we guarantee lin
a short time, all disease will be vanished.

last Saturday that William X. wasn't in any
trouble that he knew Of and that he had
neither asked for either money or advice
guess this is so, too; for neither of the two

of, ana both have made lots of money on
their own account. Cornelius you know,

enough, he telegrsphed his broker to buy
