R. & N. railway remained side-rracked a
few miles apart for four hours the other

being laid off for time.

leaux, and ''wax figgers" for Thanksgiving

The Swiss residents of Portland gave an
entertainment and ball in Turner hall last
Monday evening under the auspices of the

accidentally block of wood, 6xS inches in

ground, where it struck stone mason on
the head, cutting an ugly cash in the right

mason was knocked flat and when he got up
with his head all bleeding, there was the
maddest man ever seen in Walla Walla. IN
We have received Vol. I No. of the
Pendleton Daily Tribune, a very able edited
and neatly printed six-column paper. We
wish it success in its enterprise. Pendle-
ton. with about half the population of The
Dalles and not nearly as many natural re-
sources, displays great deal more enter
prise in the generous support it gives two |
dailies than this city does in the meagre
patronage it accords to one. And, by the
way. Umatilla county lost fully 81. SOC, 600 !
by the drouth this season.

,urgb is lively town, and is up to the
atest maneuvers.
