ITEMS IN BRIEF.
From Saturday Daily.


Eight Mile, is In the city.
, Three capstans or crabs are at work draw
ng the d. S. Baker out on the ways.
! From the Glacier we are pleased to lear
that Mr.. George Herbert is improving fron
, his serious illness.
, Yesterday the chinook changed the TEN
perature SO that the thermometer ranged il
the fortles. Last night it rained, and win
ter gave place to spring.
In the bed on which Mr.. Hochschild die,
was found $l35 in gold and greenbacks, al
though tor me ny years he had been de
pendent on the estate OF his daughter fo
support.
Geo. West and Pat. Lynch, two slough
characters, were jailed at Condor dunps
the week for burglary. They will very
! likely have work at Salem after the mex
, term OF the circuit court in that county.
From parties who arrived to-day from
Dufur we learn that Chinook winds pre-
Vailed yesterday, and the only snow that
could be seen was on Tygh ridge, where
good sleighing has been enjoyed for some
weeks.
Mr.. Bright, who arrived from Wasco,
Sherman county, Thursday evening, says a
heavy chinook wind was prevailing at the
| W.
There was good feed on the hills, and the
cattle were in excellent condition.
We are informed that deer are being
driven from the mountains by the severity
of the recent storms, and they can be seen
on the foothills. MIR. Wall says from his
hotel on Eight Mile he can see them on the
neighboring hills
Mr.. II. B. SIhley has resigned his posi-.
tion as agent of the ID. P. and A. Trans
portation company, and Mr.. w. G. Alloway
has been appointed to fill the vacancy. In
transportation matters Mr.. Alloway has
had several years experience, and no doubt
| will fill the position very acceptahly.
The Regulator, before she is again put in
the trade will have eight state rooms built
on the deck, and the hog chains strength.
| ened. In other respects the craft will be
thoroughly repaired and made more suita-
| ble for the traffic. This will very likely
| take about three weeks.
Barbed wire fences are playing sad havoc
with horses, and We are informed that some
very valuable animals have been injured
by coming in contact with these
1t seems the ground since the recent thaw
has become very slippery, and horses are
liable TO fall on hillside and become
injured by these fences.

The postoffice department has issued
orders that hereafter circulars having any
thing printed on them with rubber stamp
will have to be paid for as first-class matter.
The order is based on the principle that
the stamp is nothing more nor less than
writing, fro m the fact that 1t is used as a
pen and the legends it produces are as in.
delible as those of pen.
Condor Globe: Pursuant to call OF Capt.
Wilcox, the members of H Company met
at Condor Saturday evening and elected |
Herbert Halstead to the position of lst
lieutenant T. G. johnson was elected I'd
lieutenant to fill the vacancy just made
vacant by Mr.. Halsteads promotion. Our
boys IN blue feel trihe disappointed t?l
over the fact that there will be no war with
Chill after all.
Eugene Register: The annual meeting of
the Upper Willamette Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association was held in this city
last Saturday, and J. G. Goodale was re-
elected president and A. Wheeler secretary.
Many have considered the past season a
quiet one in the matter of building, but the
sales of the association last year amounted
to S32, 600 as compared with $29, in
1890, and 1900 in 1889.
A progressive tiddledywinks party was
gwen by Beulah Patterson last evening.

prize. An excellent lunch was served.
Those present were. Daisy Beal5 May
Beall, George Sampson, Bessie French,
Myrtle Michel, Beulah Patterson, Victor |
Marden, Win Curtis, Will Crossen and
G.. Clark.
Salem Statesman, l2: At its meeting yes
terday the state land board made formal |
ruling which is in effect that certificates |
will not be issued to intending purchasers |
of school land that has not been surveyed. |
Practically this rule has been in force for |
several years, but it was not until yester- |
dav that a formal entry of it was made. In |
all of It's rulings this board shows prefer |
ence to actual settlers as opposed to mere |
spectators.
FIX Matthew still owns the land in |
Marion county, between Butteville and
Aurora, where the first crop of wheat grew |
that was ever raised in the northwest. This |
piece of land illustrates the richness of Ore |
gon soil. for it has grown seventy.tive crops |
of wheat in forty-six years, and still pro-
duces thirty-ive bushels to the acre. The |
wheat grown on this land, if spread on the |
surface, would occupy as great depth as
the soil has been cultivated.
1t appears that hoodlumism is rampant at
Dufur, as the following from the Dispatch /
will verify: "When some of the youngsters
have been rebuked from the pulpit a few
more times, they may learn-or may have
to be taught-that the House o. God is not
the place for an exhibition of bad manners
and disregard for the rights aud feelings of
others. One who cannot maintain quiet
and reverent attention bad better keeper
be ktpt-away. And church is not |
Irritation corner either"
Or the arrival of the north bound freight |
evening at Sprague, the hrak eman
discovered tramp riding on the brake. |
beam. He was so benumbed with cold that |
he could not talk nor move. The traInmen |,
took him from. the brake-beam and carried |
him into the depot to a fire, where the |
agent rubbed him thoroughly, and the blood |
soon began to circulate freely. he Is now |
all right, but it was narrow escape. Had |
he gone mile or two further he would
have died.
Iowa has passed a stringent but just
tramp law. 1t declares that any male per-
son sixteen years of age or oyer, who is
able to work, who wanders about
begging or idle and who cannot show rea-
sonable efforts to secure employment, shall |
be deemed tramp, sent to Jail and put to
hard work. While in jail he shall not be
allowed tobacco, liquor, sporting or Illus
trated newspapers, cards or any other means
of amusement. The tramps will no doubt
avoid Iowa like they would an unmuzzled
bull dog.
Corr. Condor Globe: They are having
lively times Just now at Mitchell and along
the toll road. Recently G. l.. Frizzell and |
II. H. Wheeler built road around the toll
gate, at their personal expense, for their
own private use. Accordingly the toll COM
company sued Mr.. Wheeler, and the justIse
at Mitchell has asked for ten days time in
which to make his decision. Last Saturday
they had MIR. Frizzell up before the city
dads of Mitchell on charge of whiting
Walter Helms with bis knife. Also the
honorable attorney of Shoofy for drawing
his shooter and firing it on the street.
Asto,ian: Mention was made few days
ago of the strange disappearance of Robert
Wallace, young man working at Ingalls,
place on the Lewis and Clarke. He had
gone hunting in the last days of the year
and had not returned. Search for him re-
suited in the finding of place IN the tide
