Messrs. J. B. Mowry and j. j. Shaffer
of Moro came over to this city last eve
ming. They report the roads in bad
condition, and that the ground in Sher-
man county is pretty we'll soaked from
the effects of the snow fall and rain, and
in places is quite mirery.
If any one present at the Domino
party last evening accidentally carried
the "mitten" away, or pair of mittens,
will they please leave them at. THE
CHRONICLE Office, not so much on ac-
count of their intrinsic value, but the
owner prizes them as keepsakes.
New counties up here in the Inland
Empire are getting to be as thick as coy
otes. Besides the two movements men3
toned elsewhere today, it is said the bill
is already drawn for Hood county, with
Hood river as county seat. This new
county seeks territory to include Cascade
Locks.

Among those who observed the happy
iold custom of making New Year calls,
none were more alive to the real pleas
ure of the day than the A. F. o. T. B. O..
Us, Messrs. F. A. French, Jno. Booth,
Hayward Riddell, Fred w. Wilson,
Edw. French, Robert Mays, Jr., Frank
AGarretson, Harry Esping, Vivian French
and Edward Patterson, who armed and
equipped with mandolin, guitar, either,
