There were oyer thirty sleighs in the pro
cession that foil wed the remains to th
} cemetery, the deceased being well known
and his friends from the country belns
largely in the number of those who paiC
their last respects to the dead.
W. W. May, of Gillian county, Dor.
rowed horse from sheepman near Con.
don to go to Antelope. There he sold the
horse, and borrowed another to 20 home to
Condor. At Condor he sold the second
harse and left Immediately for parts un-
known. May is only II years old.
A chinook sprung up this afternoon, and
the snow melted rapidly. Little streams OF
water ran through the streets In two or
three hours after the wind began blowing;
but it will take two or more days of heavy
blowing before the bare ground will greet
the anxious optics of our citizens.

There is a muddle in the municipal affairs
of Pendleton. Owing to some difference
between himself and Councilman Flickinger,
he having used some very insulting Ian
guage to the mayor on the street, Mayor
Alexander has filed his resignation with the
recorder. This was done on the spur of the
moment. while smarting under the epithets
applied to him, and strong pressure is be-
ing brought to bear by the mayors friends
to have MIN reconsider his action.
Mr.. Frank C. Maloney. who recently took
a thirty dav furlong, says the Pendleton
Tribune. has rendered his resignation to
Train Master Mccarthy at Walla Walla,
and left last evening tor The Dalles to ac-
cept position on the police force of that
city under his brother, who is the highly
popular and efficient marshal. Franks
numerous friends are sorry to see him leave
the service, and all wish him the success In
his new field that his ability will insure.
"Mac" McLain, newsboy on the Union
Pacific is the victim of sore misfortune.
He was on board a west. bound train which
left Pendleton last Tuesday. It doubled
back from The Dalles and McLsln got left.
His box he supposed was on board aud he
telegraphed ahead to have it put off. The
answer came that no box could be fond. 1t
has not yet turned up and McLnn believes
1t was stolen. Its contents were worth
about 5000, representing the .newsboy's
stock in trade.
The Oregon legislature has memoralIzed
congress to order the issue of fifty millions
10 fractional currency. just the reason for
doing this is hard to conceive. unless it be
in despairiDg of any action on the silver
question an increase in the volume of our
circulating medium was desired and perhaps
thought it could be attained that way II in
no other. The fractional currency is
nuisance, and was only make shift. The
small silver and nickel coins are preferable
and the memorial should. be for their issu-
ance.
Lumbermdn: The trip from Green Basin
to Detroit would at the present time come
under the heading of carrying mail under
difficulties. Last Saturday P. NJ. Roe came
down with Uncle Sans pouches, and started
back the same day, making six miles and
stopping over night with Joseph Hamilton.
Sunday he resumed his journey, covering
only two miles, when he stopped with Mr..
McRay. The snow at that place is about
81 feet deep, while 1t is four feet at Detroit.
II is not known how he made the remainder
