GOVERNMENT STATISTICS
How Oregon Climate is Shown mp in
the East by Newspaper.
Almauacs.

Oregon suffers much from unintel-
ligible and unreliables statistics given
in the almanacs published by the
large newspapers and taken from
what they call government signal
offices. Those for Oregon are, Port
land, Roseburg and Umatilla. These
in the first place are not suitable To-
cations to give a correct idea of the
climate of this state. Portland is
situated at the mouth of the William.
ette river and almost on the great
Columbia where there is heavy fall
of rain, though the temperature is n
fairly good one for western Oregon.
Roseburg is well up in the noun
tains and Umatilla is the driest and
most unfavorable place in Oregon
for signal station to give reliable
information.
In adltion to these faults the al
manacs give the highest and lewest
temperature reported from any part
of the state. In these is where the
greatest injustice is done. Oregon
has seme high mountains where no
one lives and where the cold is ex-
treme and the temperature of these
places is embodied in the report, and
from the sage brush lands east of the
Cascades they get the warm temper
ature. In another place in the New
Years JOURNAL is given reliable sta
tistics, taken from careful observa
tions made in the heart of the Will
lamette valley embracing a period of
twenty years which speaks more
than volumes in Eastern newspaper
almanacs.

CARELESS DRIvING.-The atten
tiop of the JOURNAL has been called
several times to the carelessness of
some persons in driving over public
bridges. Many persons think that
driving over an ordinary bridge in a
trot is neither all offence against the
laws nor an injury to the structure.
Neither is true; the Oregon statutes
are very plain, and the penalty Sc
we're for anyone to drive a team in a
trot over public bridge. A horse
trotting over bridge may do
greater damage than If he should run
over it. The uniform motion of
any animal in trotting over a bridge
gives to the structure swing that is
very straining on it, The complaint
which comes to the JOURNAL is fast
driving over the covered bridge over
South Mill Greek Oh Commercial
street. This is heavy bridge for
the foundation on which ii is built,
and fast driving may end there
very seriously some time, if contin-
ued to be practiced.

CITY CoUNCIL.-The city fathers
meet tonight in accordance to the
adjourned meeting of last Friday
night. Ifa quorum can be obtained
they will close up the business of the
year before the new members take
their seats. At the first meeting of
the new council which is next Tues
day night, several changes will take
place. The captain of police will
assume the duties of city marshal.
the new mayor and several council
men will take seats in the city ad-
ministratiOn. The new council will
select the police officers, street COM
missioner, city surveyor and city
attorney. The various standing
committees will be appointed, and a
general change will probably be
made in the affairs of the city gov
ernment. The people in general
seem to have full confidence in the
incoming city officials and expect
some good work of them.

SHORTAGE OF BoATs.-W. r.

Union Pacific railroad, was In the

It was learned that 1t is possible the
U. p. company will put no boats Oh

year. Capt. Troupe, superintendent
of navigation, Is opposed to putting
them on, ms he claims the compe.
tition on the river In the freight

the business. Other members of the
company management are in favor
drumming the boats and the matter
is not fully decided yet, but the
probabilities are as first stated. This
would leave clean sweep Of the

LOOKING THIS WAY.-The men,
bers Of the next legislature, which
will meet on the 10Th of January,
are beginning to turn their attep-
tion this way. A number of that
body have already engaged rooms
at The Willamette and other hotels
in the city preparatory for their six
weeks Of work in the city as the
servants of the people. The assem-
bling of the legislature brings a
small army to Salem. Besides the
ninety members of the two houses a
host of clerks come with them.
The wives of a number of the law
makers will be here also and many
others interested in what may or
may not become a law, are in the
city during the session, and indulg-
ing in every kind of scheme to
secure the enactment of pet meas
ures. All these things give Salem a
more active and businesslike appear

AT THE RIVERS EDGE.-,All are
interested in the rise of the VILLAIN
cite river to a stage that boats may
run with safety and doubtless all are
more interested in the time when
the government may be persuaded
to put the river in a condition that
boats may navigate the river as far
UP as Salem. The river Is now
nearly foot lower than it was last
Saturday morning; to-day it stands
about twenty-five inches above low
water mark. The rains of last night
and to-day will turn the tide and
instead of falling as it has for the
past two or three days it will begin
to rise again. A day or two of good
showers would give a fine boating
stage to the river. The ground is
now pretty thoroughly soaked and
much of the water that falls will be
carried to the river.

ACCIDENT AT THE RRIpGE.-A

ACCIDENT AT THE BRIDGE.-An
accident that might have terniin-
ated with more serious consequences
occurred at the bridge this morning,
though 1t was an expensive one AS
it was. AS the workmen were
putting up the short span on the
Polk county side of the river, the
tops of the bents stood a little too
close together to allow the cross
braces to be bolted, and in
springing them apart one side oyer
balanced and fell into the river.
While it seems hardly possible, yet
no one was seriously hurt. Some
of the plates were lost in the bottom
Of the river.
