mast today in respect to the memory of
the late ex-President Hays, who died

The river is filling with floating ice
steadily and appearances indicate that
it will block before tomorrow night at
or near Crates point.
The coasting is fine in this city, judg-
ing by the number out on sleds and bobs
each evening, and the hilarious out
bursts of laughter from the Y. B. C.'s:
J. P. Cooper has been heard from at
Astoria. The Examiner has several

Campbell Bros. began cutting and
putting up ice today off from Sam
Thurman's ice pond; It cuts 61s inches

The respective strength of the Turner
and Allen factions of the republican
party, now at war with each other in
the state legislature, was never harder
to gauge than at the present time. In
stead of ballot determining their
actual strength, it has left matters in
such shape that results obtained then
are worthless now.
Salem dispatches inform us that the
committee selections in each house were
received with much satisfaction. Full
ton appears to have been particularly
happy in his selections. Hirsch. his.
active opponent in the republican eau
Gus, he rewards with the most promi-
nent chairmanship,, that of the WAYS
and means committee, and the second
place on enrolled bills and fishing.
Then he gives McGinn, Hirsch's chief
supporter, two chairmanships, and
Cogswell, who received the democratic
complimentary vote against him,
chairmanship of high standing in the
committee on federal relations. An
other of his apparently clever innova-
tions is recognizing the peoples party by
giving it's exponent, Vanderburg, the
Craftsmanship of the committee on agri-
culture. Speaker Keady's selections
have been well distributed and give gem
eral satisfaction.
