LOCAL BREVITIES.

To-Day.
The fire and other bells will ring at
z 80 this evening.
Mr.. F. M. Thompson and J. H. Gilmore
of Dufur are in the city.
Mr.. Orien Kinersly and DIR. ]. G. Boyd
went to Hood River yesterday.
Miss Dell Crook, of Goldendale, is
visiting her sister Mrs. John Filloon.
There is quite a snow fall between
here and Portland and the storm still
continues.
Mr.. Macleod, of the firm of Mac
Eachern & Macleod, went to the sound
yesterday.
The case of Flaherty against the rail
road company was taken up at o'clock
this afternoon.
The board of trade last night decided
not to purchase the boats on the upper
river, but to build here instead.
The jury in the case of Carlson against
the railroad company brought in a YER
dict for the plaintiff for So 3,666.66.
Mr.. Ben E. Snipes shipped a carload
of hogs to Seattle yesterday. There
were 81 of them and they weighed $4,000
pounds.
The wires are down and locals as scarce
as hens teeth none of the force were on
jamboree last night although we proud
ly admit that the paper looks like it.
The following railroad cases have been
settled in court today by the railroad
company paying $1,000 and costs: John
J, Flaherty, Ingeborg Frost, Thomas
Coyle and Henry Restorff.
It is probable now that Judge Webster
can be pursuaded to remain here until
the docket is cleared. A bill passed
recently gives his district an extra judge
and this will make it possible for him to
remain here.
The wires have been down nearly all
day, but dispatch oyer the railroad
wire stated that the passenger train was
pulling its way towards Portland behind
hagman. There seems to be no inf0r-
nation as to what the trouble is.
Most of the cases against the railroad
company were up on motion OF some
kind this morning and were put off un-
til Monday to give defendants time to
answer, the motions except in one case
being overruled.
By examining the calandar we find
that yesterday was st. Benedict of
Anian's day. AS it was the brightest
and best day The Dalles has ever had, we
suggest that st. Benedict is entitled to
the position of Patron Saint of our city.
The wise managers of the Cascade
locks built steamboat below the rapids
and a ten thousand dollar wharf above
them. The boat cannot reach the wharf
and the wharf of course cannot navigate
the canal. Great heads.
The celebration at the Vogt Grand to-
night promises to be the grandest affair
of the kind ever held in The Dalles. The
weather is bad for such gathering but
if we mistake not the temper of oul
people it will take more than an average
rain shower to dampen their ardor.
No doubt the passengers on the west
bound train this morning are enjoying
themselves while fagman has piece
of the bell-cord on the engine leading il
along. Most of the engines were broke
to lead last winter and it is hoped nc
trouble will happen in managing this
one.
License to wed was yeste rday ISSUED
to r. Prather and Mrs. NJ. ]. Huskey
both of Hood River. A few days ago
Mrs. Haskey's son was married to Mr.
Prather's daughter. This is entirely g
family affair, and by a happy stroke o
policy pervents multiplicity of mother
in-law.
There has been steady light rainfall
ever since yesterday about half past fou
O'Clock, and aswe go to press, it con
tinues. AS far as we learn the storm i
general, all over the Inland Empire, ant
in the higher attitudes there is a heav.
snowfall. The precipitations since i
began here, is so hundredths of an inch
The rain which commenced yesterda.
evening fell steadily all night the rail-
gauge showing that one fourth of an incl
bad fallen. 1t still continues it's soft bu
steady drizzle, and every drop is beini
absoSeed by the glad earth. 1t will b.
worth thousands of dollars to this county
and it is to be hoped, that it may con
tinue its good work for full week.
For cut, bruise, burn or scald, ther
is nothing equal to Chamberlin's Pain
! Balm. 1t heals the parts more quickl,
than any other application, and unles
the injury is very severe, no scar is left
