one of the evening trains on the River
road, all came in nearly on time. The
travel on these road was light through
out the day. The Pan Handle train
from Pittsburg due here at 9:eO last
evening was half an hour late. The
freight trains on all the roads were con-
siderably belated. Owing to the wires
being down there was no keeping track
of the trains, and they were obliged TO
resort to the code OF rules used in such
an exigency, which requires that all east
ward bound trains have the right Of way,
conductors to govern themselves accord
ingly.
THE STREET RAILWAYS.
The electric cars had pretty tough
sleddin' all during Taesday, and Tues
day evening they kept the streets
through which the overhead wires run
constantly Illuminated with flashes OF
pale blue and white light, thrown of
by the trolleys, as they ran through the
damp atmosphere. All during Tues
day night salt cars and snow plow
were run over the track, in the effort 10
get the rails clear enough for cars Ia
run. but the work was labor lost, and
although President Sweeney and Mana
ger LOTUS kept hard at II all day, the
condition of affairs was about rs bad al
ten o'clock last night as at the same hour
in the morning. The Island ears made
pretty regular trips all during the day,
and did big business, but the poor mules
had tough time of it.
Last evening the task OF running
electric ears before some time late to-day
seemed to be hopeless one, and several
'busses and wagons were put on the
streets, between the central part Of the
city and the South Side, the cries of
"here you are-take you right down 10
Forty-eighth street." reminding one
forcibly of the scenes during the street
railway strike.
Loss TO BUSINESS MEN.
Such a storm, coming right in the
midst of the holiday season, hit the re-
tail business men hard, and the stores,
which the day before were crowded
with buyers, had deserted appear
ance. Little was sold except umbrel-
las, gum boots and water proof coats
in which necessaries Of life there was d
pretty lively trade, and every other
man one met during the afternoon and
evening was sporting new pair OF
boots, with his trousers tucked into
the tops thereof. One business man said
last evening, as he sat on counter
putting 4 cigar:
"When you go to figure up the loss
Just remember the business men. II
bet a big apple they have taken In S25,
600 less money to-day than they did
say last Monday. If the present situa
tion should last for several days, it vii

would otherwise have been very pros

During the past two weeks Col Nye

He now has some 600 head.
Reynolds Bros. of Fremont, Ne

of sheep in this county, and will drive
them to Nebraska after shearing.

Sodaville, Linn county, returned tle

A Burns paper boasts that that
town supports seven attorneys. That's
better than Prineville can do. We
only have four limbs of the law here,
and one of them has quit the practice
and gone to mixing pills in drug
store, while the other three are moi
getting fat either in person or purse.
Several weeks ago mention was
made of an old gentleman named
Athen who started across the desert
from the Meldrum place coming north,

not having been heard of since. Oh
