The state board of railroad commissioners
has virtually won its case in a controversy
with the Union Pacific company in regard
to freight rates. The railroad officials, after

schedules as proposed by the commission
and the matter will be definitely arranged
in few days.
Tim Baldwin, who used to live IN this
city thirty odd years ago, and often set
up nights to see Mt. Hood grow, "bobs
up serenely" In our midst as foreman of
Section IA on this division of the U. p.
system taking the place of j. M. Toomey.
Tim ranks high with the Oldest Of old
timers and has made q combination with
Col. Sinnott, of the Umatilla House, to
stand by the other in the narration of
incidents pertaining to early day history
of this locality.
Mr.. John McEntee, road master Of the
Oregon division of the U. p. system, who
has been stopping In this city for some
weeks will now make Portland his head
| quarters, His family recently arrived
from Laramie, Wyoming, and In order to
take adyantake of the superior school
facilities will make their home in the
metropoliz. Mr.. McEutee, during his
short stay here, has made many friends
and the fact of his making headquarters
elsewhere will be regretted.
Hall Henderson, of this city, arrived in
Pnneville last week says the Nesos, on his
way to the McDuffee Warm Springs. Mr..
Henderson has for many years suffered
from the effects of the measles, and has
had the attention of the best medical
skill as well as visiting ealth resorts, all
of which has thus far offered no perma-
nent relief. Mr.. Henderson goes to the
springs to avail himself of the mineral
water of that resort, knowing that IL
bathing In the same will not result in an
effectual ure, 1t will not be injurious.
Contrary to general expectation the en-
tertainment given last night by the MEM
bers of the Mic-Mac club was not all that
had been anticipated. 1t is possible that
the large audience gathered, with the recol-
lections of the first concert given by the
Siuo iuHy III uluus cApeCJcu LOO uluCut Dub
whatever the cause, there seemed to be q
prevailing feeling of disappointment as the
rendition of the different numbers on the
programme proceeded. Aside from the in
strumental duet by Miss Anna Lang and
Professor Birgfeld and the singing of "Gent-
ly Lord, Oh Gently Lead Us" by Mrs.
Bradshaw the performance was noticeably
weak.
Ed. Huntley, the well known clothing
house drummer, who some weeks ago was
robbed of his diamonds and gold watch, has
recovered his valuable property and again is
happy as lord. Everyone knows ''Dia-
mond Ed, as he is known, and when it was
learned that he had been held up by high
waymen and robbed of his jewels, he met
with general sympathy from host of
friends. On Monday last, while in Port
land, he was approached by gentleman,
who soon make his business known and the
result was that Huntly gave up $1,000 in
solid coin and In return received his highly
priced diamonds and watch. Once more he
is able to strut about the streets with $751;
600 in diamonds displayed upon his shirt
bosom while the ''go between" safe from
arrest and prosecution, has slowed away the
$1,000 paid for the recovery of the same.
