There was one hobo and one inebriate in
the city jail last night. Both were inter.
viewed by the recorder this morning with
the usual result.
The wheat market has been very quiet
for the past few days. and little has
been sold in this city. Prices are ranging
from II to 50 cents.
The following deed was placed on record

in town of Dufur; Sl25.
Mr.. Van Ordstrendt is driving fifty head
of beef cattle to this city. They are now
between Sherar's bridge and The Dalles and
will arriYe In a few days.
The Skibbe hotel is being finished as rap
idly as possible. When completed he will
have twenty good rooms for dodgers, and
the only brick hotel In the city.
One carload of cattle were fed at the
stockyards last night. They came from
Durkee, Baker county, and were shipped to
the Portland market this morning.
Judge Bradshaw is cleaning the docket as
rapidly as possible, and attorneys or clients
receive little consideration from him. By
this means taxes are saved to citizens.
Mr.. A. j. Moses has purchased the livery
stable, formerly owned by Mr.. c. l. Rich
mond in the East End, and will keep as
good horses and carriages as any place in
the city.
The jury in the case of Allen Us. Sargent
brought in a sealed verdict Saturday night.
1t awarded the plaintiff $500, and
without this is reversed it will be an end

day, and more may be expected tomorrow.
Mr. Davis Is determined to pen everything

and the people will say amen.
Mr.. W. Fl. Stats, of Dufur, came in
town to-day. He says little snow fell
I,,A "a Al. u
but little while. Ice formed on the creek
Sunday and Monday mornings.
The burned district no longer presents a
desolate appearance, and very many sub
stantial cottages and business houses now
cover the places which. little over month
ago, were simply '"black aud smoking
ruins"
Glacier: The first snow of the season
showed itself on the hilltops Thursday
morning, but though the snow is only a
quarter of a mile above us, up to this time
we have had no frosts, and roses, geraniums
and all such are still in bloom in the yards.
AL. Lawson, the fellow who was sentenced
for rape. has pleaded guilty of larceny in a
dwelling, and has yet to receive his sentence
for this. We hope Judge Bradshaw will
make up the leniency in the statute for rape
by the fullest extent of punishment for this
felony.
The Dalles is a very moral community,
but yesterday several nimrods went up to
Blalock, and the weather being cold and
the day Sunday they returned with no
game. Hereafter they should consult the
barometer and remember the Sabbath day
to keep 1t holy.

Umatilla county, owns fine ranch in Sher-

Fossil Journal. The inspection and drill
of III company passed off pleasantly, and
was well attended, about forty men being
present, and all took lively interest in the
drill under the new regulations, but the
men don't take kindly to the change so
soon after learning the old way, ID COM
pany is all right, although it has lost sew
eral members.
Marshfield Coast Mah: A platinum mine
has been discovered about SIX miles from
Grants Pass, in the Louis creek country.
Mr.. Platt, who brought in specimens OF ore
last Saturday, declined to tell the exact To-
cation, but that he has good lead is very
evident. Platinum is more precious than
gold, as 1t is used largely in electric light
ing, and this is the only actual mine known
to exist.
Moro Observer. G. w. James met with
serious accident at Wasco last Saturday.
He was IN Jack Dlngles' shop having some
blacksmith work done, and by some mishap
he got his fingers on the anvil just as Jack
brought the sledge down with fnll force. al
most severIng the fingers from the hand.
His wounds were dressed promptly, but 1t
will be many long day before he will have
the use of his hand again.
The rape fiend. Lawson, was brought be-
fore Judge Bradshaw this morning, and was
sentenced to twenty years imprisonment IN
the penitentiary. As the defendant pleaded
guilty, and no evidence was adduced OF the
crime, the Judge called upon the physician
who waited on Mrs. Poorman and the old
lady herself, and from this testimony he
came to the conclusion that the full extent
of the punishment in the statute was sutt-
ciebtly lenient.
1t is not generally desired by parsons not
having the wherewithal to pay for lodgings
to spend the night in the city jail;
but such was the case last evening. Two
men came to the night watchman, and asked
to be safely lodged, and he very kindly
took them to the jail, and in that place
they spent the evening. This morning,
bright and early, they were up, and. after
thanking the officer for favors bestowed,
quietly wended their way to another part OF
the city.
Fairhayen Herald: Portland can no long
er boast OF being the chief wheat shipping
port on the Pacific ocean. Already this sea.
son wheat shipments from the Sound have
exceeded those from Portland by upwards
of a quarter of million bushels. Heavy
towage charges and the risks attending nav
Iyation over the Columbia river bar and
along the adjacent coast are rapidly drying
ocean commerce away from the webfoot me.
tropolis to the broad straits OF Fuca and
the matchless harbors of Puget Sound.
| Localizer: The high water has played hob
with our mails. The Northern Pacific COM
pany allows no business to be retarded and
| to prevent any detention to the TRAVELLING
| public sends their passengers over the Un'
ION Pacific to Portland. No mail were re-
! ceived here for four or five days. WASH
