Max Vo Il and L. Ro: den have been a:

fire c. m .oahies are still at work on th
stock oI goods of w. Ii. Moody & CT.
Long Creek Eagle: We hear of the storm
of last weel doing considerable damage t
the sheepmen of this section. Many los
from IS to 100. which were smothered b.
being punched, all of which could not b.
ayolded owing to the intense force of tn
wind.
Ellensburgh Register: Stockmen on tn,
west side, who have been looking after thei
stock on the Umtahnum, report the snow
from three to four feet deep, and are max
ing exertions to gather their stock in to feed
They are in tear that even horses will die
on account of the great dedth of snow.
Mr.. C NJ. Grimes, of Dell, Ma'heul
county, is in the city. He was blockaded
two weeks at Baker lily, having in charge
200 head of cattle, and he says this is the
roughest time he ever experienced. When
he left Malheur county there were twenty.
four inches Of snow, and that was on the
9th of January.
A whist party was given by Mrs. T. A.
Houghton last evening in honor of Miss
Johnson who Is visiting at her residence.

enjoyed themselves. The following are
the names of those invited: MIR. E. u.
Mcfarland and wife, Judge Thornbury

At Spokane Falls last Saturday lively
sensation was created on Riverside avenue,
by the spectacle of well and fashIonably-
dressed woman horse whipping a mau. The
woman was Mrs. G. G. Love. an employe of
leading dry goods house, and the object of
her wrath was r. S. Nelson, who tried to
make mash on her. Nelson had just been
release from the county Jail, where he was
confined for stealing watch.
The Ketchum keystone says that the
depth of snow there up to last Friday noon
was five feet on the level. Some paper
also says it is reported that the snow in
many places in the Big Lost river valley is
from two and half to three feet IN depth.
There will no doubt be considerable loss
of stock in that vicinity on account OF
scarcity of hay and the unusual depth of
snow, which will prevent animals foraging
for themselves, rs it was supposed they
could do In a great measure all winter.
Railroad men, free from snow block
AIDES, must now look out for land slides,
and these are very dangerous. The rail
road man must be the bravest of the |
brave, and possessed of tine coolest and
steadiest nerve. The squares at Waterloo |
or the charge at Balaklava are not exam |
piles of greater courage than of the |
knights of the rail, who step on their To- |
comotives and know not that they may be |
hurled into eternity without moments
warning.

into the manufactured article, ready for
wear, before it leaves The mill.
