fight of the session will come on the reap |
portionment proposition, which is made |
mandatory by the constitution of Oregon in

Itants by the United States or this state, be
liked by law and apportloned among the
several counties according to the number of
white populations in eacr." II the Demo-
cratic opinion prevails, there will be no re.

Telegram: Gus Barry, who was shot by
George Morey, is lying in very critical
condition at his home on Clay street, be-
:ween First and Second, and but little
hopes are entertained for his recovery. At
he outset Barry gave indications OF speedy
'ecovery, but the bullet has not been located
oy the physicians, and about week ago
le grew suddenly worse, and his death may
De expected at any time. In the meantime,
1eorge Morey, his assailant, is confined In
he county jail under an indictment for as
ault with intent to kill. The charge will
,e changed to murder, should Barry die Of
he injury, as ne doubtless will.
From the Arlington Record we learn that
he sleighing IN the north end of the county
rom Condon down, is excellent, good deal
,ettcr than it has been known for years.
nd every person is taking advantage OF it
nd having good time. Strange as it may
eem, the snow is all off south of Condor,
nd the roads are muddy as the country
cts higher. As we go south from the
iver to the Blue mountains, anvone would
aturally suppose the weather to be colder.
t appears the Chinook wind has passed
wo or three thousands feet above us, and
ur temperature is governed by cold cur
ent, which makes the seemingly lnconsis-
ent difference in the temperature.
