spector of this county. has been in the city

We are under obligations to Hon. T. r.
Coon, one of our representatives In the leg
lslature, for copies of hills presented.
Sufficient snow fell yesterday to make
sleighlng in frstAclass condition. and the
difficulty to be overcome will be drifts.
The storm yesterday afternoon prevailed
throughout the interior, and the roads are
almost impossible by reason Of drifted
snow.
This weather will form ice of excellent

ice houses will now have splendid oppor-
tunity.

The condition of Father Bronsgeest is
very much improved since yesterday, and
the In ications are very favorable for his
recovery in a few days.
The bridge of ice and snow across the
Columbia is still intact. TINS is the first
and only free bridge We " II have across the

making out jurors SUBJ eias for the next

in this city the second Monday In February.
We have received, with the compli-
ments OF Hon. Phil. Metschan. the BIZ
enniai report of the state treasurer of the
state of Oregon, presented 10 the legisla-
tive assembly at the present session.
The Prineville stage.driver started ont at
the usual time this morning; but returned
in the course of an hour. saying he could
not make the trip by reason of snow drifts.
Immediately the proprietor with another
driver made the attempt and was successful.
During all the morning horse was tied
to tree opposite this office, and the poor
brute was forced to bear the keenness OF the
east wind without the least opportunity to
exercise and keep warm. The law sgainst
cruelty to animals should be strictly en-
forced.
The house has refused TO print many of
its important measures. The JOINT reso-
luton relative to the Cascade locks passed
both houses without being printed, and
not dozen members in the legislature,
when asked, coult tell what 1t was all
about.
The Juvenile Temple of this city will
give an entertainment next Friday night

We acknowledge the receipt Of an invita-
tion from the Worlds Congress Auxiliary,
upon the nomination of Hon. John Il.
Mitchell. to attend the Worlds Congresses
IN the department of the public press, to
convene in Chicago during the week begin
ming May %, 1898. The TIMES MOUNT
AINEER will. very probably, be represented
on this occasion.
Mr.. Burgess, of Bakeoven, we under
stand, has gone TO Salem TO oppose the
creation of Stockman county. He is
armed with a remonstrance signed by 90
voters of Bakeoven precinct, in Wasco
county. From this Ii seems that there
are even some in the proposed new coun-
ty who are satisfied to let we'll enough
alone.
We have received q copy of the Neso Pc.
terson's Mdgdzine for January, 1898. Al
most every reader Is acquainted with Peter
sons old magazine, and the new publication
is an improvement of the old. The leading
articles, illustrated, are: Philadelphia,
Comparative Study; A Rest Among Simple
Folk; As far as Paris; TIsta. These are
from the pens of some Of our best writers,
and places the periodical In the front rank
Of literature.
Legislative Hmerrimenp' takes strange
freaks, as an exchange says: "The whole
proceeding connected with Raley's bill
was replete with merrIment, but il came
to sudden stop when President Fulton
arose and said, The chair is under the
painful duty of informing the senate that
James G.. BlaIne is dead" The result
OF the vote on the bill was anything but
amusing to the people of Eastern Oregon
quite the contrary.
There was a change came DER the spirit
of our dreams last night. 1t blew with
great volitIon during the afternoon and
evening, and during the night 1t turned
cold. The dream of 4 chinook was delu.
sion and snare. This morning the wind
shifted to the east, and the mercury fell
very perceptibly. From IL degrees above
at o'clock it dropped down to zero at 10
o'clock, and a keen east wind blew which
increased the severity OF the temperature.
The governor has allowed three bills to
go 10 the secretary OF state without his
signature. The Riddles incorporation
and Myrtle Point charter amendment Will
be disposed of IN this way, because he
will sign no act which recognizes the
raising of taxes by license, as be consid-
ers it unjust. The other bill changes fees
of clerks and sheriffs IN Grant and Crook
counties, and he says he did not know
anything about it. so he let it go.

dered our old friend, St. Patrick, by an
nouncing that masquerade ball would
be given at Antelope on the evening Of
In honor of old Pat We should have

on our part. The great ball will be held
on the l4th just the same and II is ex-
pected to be the biggest masquerade
dance ever held In Wasco county.
