n Charles Denton was out today in a
] fne .Goose-Neck, four-passenger sleigh,
which style was all the go in fashiona-
BILE circles on Brighton road back in the
ffties. This same sleigh has done duty
| IN The Dalles whenever there was snow
Since 1855, and it is still in good condi
tion. 1. was brought from the east,
around Cape Horn in the summer of
Ethat year, for Capt. Jordan, who was
then an army officer, stationed at the
garrison in this CITY.
Small pox was discovered on the
steamship Umatilla at Port Townsend
few days since. On the way from Ia
coma the butcher was taken violently
sick while cutting up the meat for a
! days consumption. An examination
showed that he was afflicted with a most
virulent attack of smallpox. The Una
tilla had a bout $50 passengers on board,
and the CONSERVATION among them was
great when the steamer was ordered
into quarantine at Port Townsend. The
agents asserted that the steamer would
arrive at San Francisco on time, and
| that the passengers, after being fumi-
gated, would go on down overland, pass-
ing Portland.
Bryon Barnard, whore name was on
the Sullivan detective" warrant as one
of the Roslyn bank robbers, writes to
the Fosil Journal that he has not been
arrested yet. When he learned that he
was accused he telegraphed to the Port
land chief of police that he could be
found in Chinook, Mont, where he has
charge of 100 saddle horses and 800
head of cattle, and if taken away some
one will pay for it. 1t is said that
| Bryon is the only one of the four having
perve enough to carry out any such un-
Aertaking as the Roslyn bank robbery
He has plenty of courage, and made a
good deputy sheriff while acting as such
under Sheriff Wilcox, of Gillian county.
Speaking of property available for
taxes in Sherman county, the Observer
says: 1.-THE increase in gross taxes of
4 1899 and over 1891, is $166. .95S, and the
increase ipxs valuation of the taxable
propeEts ink 1892 is $133 ,927. It is a
gross imposi fon upon the people of this
county to CROW and gloat over something
that does not not have a word of truth
in it. We hope that our contemporary
in The Dalles will correct his error. We
went to tbe county clerks Office anil
examined Fthe tax sheet and that is the
way we found it.'' Admitted. But
how does fhe levy compared It is one
thing to assess taxes, and quite another
| thing to pay taxes. Look up the re-
ceipts.
When Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Smith of
Hood River were up here last week
their PCT dog Club had been accident
ally looked into Mr.. Smiths Office. On
I,seturnfng Mrs. Smith chanced to notice
thakalaot of plants that had been placed
in the windows were gone, and proceeded
to investigate. Club was discovered
the first thing, and then Clubs work
came to light. The Glacier says he had
knocked down every plant, gnawed the
bottoms of the doors and mouldings
nearly through, chewed up the carpet
for yard around each door, and the
window sills gave evidence of the sharp
ness of his teeth. The dog was delighted
to get out, as there was nothing left for
him to do inside.
