Mr.. w. E. Garretson returned from
Portland this morning. He was a pas
senger on the DELAYED train. In Port
land street cars could not run yesterday
and he was compelled to foot it from the
hotel to the depot. 1t is his opinion

snow blockade. The country can stand

Sheriff T. A. Ward returned from the
eSheriff's association meeting in Portland
yesterday. The recommendation of the
SOregon bar association to make the
ssheriff a salarled officer instead of a fee
Soficer came up for discussion. Judge
fThayer, who is one of the committee
appointed by the association to draft a
bill providing for the change, which
will be presented to the legislature,
asked for views on the subject. Sheriffs
of the smaller counties who are not
making fortunes out of their Office, and
several sheriffs who enjoy a brisk busi-
ness, appeared to be in favor OF the
change. Judge Thayer invited the
executive committee to discuss the sub
iect with him and offer any suggestions
they may think proper, as soon as pos
sible.
