Eds. Democrat:
Thinking that few lines from this
part Of the country might be of interest
70 some Of your many readers, ] thought
l would try to give you few items.
In the first place We have been hay-
ing some very cold weather We had a
very cold spell from about the l4th to
the goth Of jan, the Thermometer going
n low as IA degrees below zero; then
We had chinook that took the snow
all of and nearly all the frost out oi
the ground. It turned cold again the
lst Of February, and has remained
quite cold ever since. 1t was coolest
about the 9Th, the thermometer going
as low as "a degrees below zero. Al
present it has the appearance of anoth.
er chinook. We do not think that the
fall wheat is injured any by the cold
weather, as we had about 4 inches ol
snow, and the ground in this country
does not heave the grain out when Il
freezes.
Stock is doing tolerably well !; have
not heard Of any losses except few cid
toothless sheep. But think that some
cattle and horses may stick in the mire
when thaw comes, as, at such times,
the ground becomes very soft.
Badger is the name of new Post.
Office just established here. It is aboai
midway between Deschutes and Jehr
Days River, and about l6 miles from

his remains were being conveyed from
his fathers residence TO the Church the

persons witnessed the last sad rites Al

warehouses that has been mixed.

On Feb. 25th, large number Of pto-
pie collected at the residence of Salni
Morse, in New York City, to witness a
dress rehearsal Of the Passion play. A
large number of police were stationed
inside the building in citizens drees.
Police Captain Williams was present,
and notified Morse that he would arrest
him as soon as the curtain raised as it
would be violation Of law to 50 on
with the play without license. It will
be remembered that tAe Mayor of New
York refused to grant a license TO
Morse, hence he sought to evade the
law by presenting the Play at his own
residence. He claimed that he had q
right to present the play at his own
residence without licencs, but when
the curtain was raised Capt. Williams
arrested Morse and took him to the
Station house when he was released On
giving bail in the sum of five hundred
dollar.

WHO ARE VOTERS.

AS the time for holding annua
school meetings approaches, we hear
many inquiries from all parts of the
comfy as to what are the qualification
of voters. For the benefit of all con
esrned, we print below the law defining
the qualification of voters at such
meetings:
"Sec. 43. Any citizen of this State
shall be entitled to vote at a school
meeting who is twenty-one years OF
age, and has resided in the district
thirty days immediately preceding the
meeting, and who has property in The
district upon which he or she pays q
tax"
It will be seen. that this includes
females whether married or single, pro
vided they have the required qualif.
cations.

HIGH LICENSE.

And now the legislative mind in
Missouri is graphing with the liquor
question ia that State, and like all
other legislatures It finds iauch difficult
ty in solving so knotty problem. The
people of that State, acting through
their Representatives, in the light of
the knowledge which they have acquir-
ed by their juxtapOsitiOa to Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska. with their prehibi-
tory and high license laws, seem to have
arrived at the conclusion that the best
thing to do is to impose high license
for the privilege of dispensing intoxica-
ting beverages. To that end the state
senate has passed license law which
provides that applications for licenses
shall state specifically where the dram-
shop is to be kept. 1t requires the
applicant to present to the county court
= petition signed by two-thirds of the
assessed tax paying citizens as shown
by the last previous annual assessment
of the city, incorporated town or muni-
cipal township where such dramshop is
to be kept. The applicant Is further
required to give bond in the sum Of
two thousand dollars with two or more
securities, conditioned that the appli-
can't shall at all times keep an orderly
house, that he viii not sell or give
liquor to 3 minor, without the consent
Of the parent or guardian, and that he
will not violate any of the provisions of
the dramshOp Law, and that he will pay
all fines and penalties which may be
imposed under this Law. The amount
of the license is rot less than $3.50 nor
more than $1,000 per year to be determ-
ined by the court.
The penalty for selling or giving
away any liquor, in any quantity, by
any dramshop keeper, upon or about
his premises, on Sunday is not less than
$50 nor more than 500, and conyic-
tion of any person so offending. operates
to forfeit the license which may not be
issued again TO such person for period
Of two years.
4 very stringent damage Law is also
Incorporated in the law. Il will be
seen that under the operations of this
law there will be many places where
license can not be obtained, as a refusal
On the part Of over one third of the as.
sesssd taxpaying citizens of the town,
city, or municipality will prevent the
courts granting the license. Qaise+s
lively effort has beer, and is now being,
carried on to get the legislature to pro-
pose and submit to the people prohibi-
tory amendment, but the only support
it seems to have is among Democratic
members, the Republican and Green
back members refusing TO introduce or
support such q measure. The indica-
tions are that the above bill will pass
the house and become law.

lr is learned upon good authority
that Senator Davis, president pro tenn
OF the senate, will resign on the third Of
March, in time to allow his successor to
be elected without requiring an extra
session. It is understood that Senator
Davis resigns with the stipulation that
the present organization of Offices Of the
senate, which Is controlled by Demo-
Gratis, shall not be disturbed until the
regular session next December. It
cannot be told with certainty what
effect upon an extra session the possi-
BILE failure of the senate to act upon the
Mexican treaty may have. If the treaty
be not ratified before the 30th Of March
it is possible that the President may
think it wise to call an extra session
especially for that purpose.
