Gardening

Last week several Of our citizens began
gardening, and around the dwellings OF
many of our residents the grass is green and
flowers are budding. The little furry o
snow Saturday night did no injury to vege-
tatioD, and only inconvenienced pedestrians
and made roads not in as good condition as
they were. In q few days OF pleasant
weather plants and flowers will begin to
grow, and The Dalles will lead all other
cities in the state IN the beauty Of its sur
roundlngs. The season Is extremely back
ward this wear. and before now the flowers
in yards should be in full bloom If the usual
conditions had prevailed. But snow fell
frequently after the 10Th of February. and
even after st. Patrick's day, the ground was
white with the mantle of winter. Winter
has fingered most wantoDly in the lap Of
spring. aud apparently still holds sway on
the neighboring hills

Crisis in France.

~ y u - Z
LONDON, March 19-Tbe correspond :
ent at Paris of the Daily News sass a
crisis has arisen there which is unprece-
dente6 under the present constitution.
A number of senators objected In hot
haste regarding the, establishment of q
ministry of the colonies, aud agreed that
the matter must be postponed until par
lament met again. Immedia ely after
the adjournment Prime Minister Caslmir-
Perier went around the lobbies saving
that he could not govern until he had a
free hand, and that he was determined to
place colonial affairs on a new and better
footing by the creation of ministry :.
If he could not name the ministers i'm
mediately be would retire. The prime
minister spoke as If he thought they
wanted to iorce him to resign.
The Times Paris CORES pondent says:
"The creation of colonial ministry Is a
po iticai act the most serious and COM
picated order. tor such a ministry must
possess departments similar to the great
ministries of commerce, marine, foreign
affairs and War, all working together with
n, friction 10 order to accomplish this
everything must be fixed beforehand and
nothing left vague. The senate UNDER
stood this and refused to pass at such a
breakneck pace bill requiring long
consideration. 1t is impossible not tn
render justice to the prudence and wis
dom of the senate in refusing TO be q
party in the hssty &C ion of the chamber
of deputies, as we'll as the government.
1t does not suggest that. but decided to
vote upon 1t after the holidays. But th-
minister, who seemed preoccupred with
the thought of quitting power with dig
nifty rather than with continuing in pow
er, would not suffer the senate to act &C
cordlng with what il thought its duty
and reserve the right to study this ques-
tion. l do not doubt that the senator's,
wh4teveI their annoyance, will vote when
II is requested. Bot there will be co ln-
d'cation OF rejecting mind against the
minister. w.

unwelcome and unwilling passenger. He
was tall, handsome young man, and from
indulgence in cocaine and morphine was as
wild and reasonless as an untamed beast.
1t required two strong men constantly to
hold him, and when the west si'ie stopped
to receive him from the Oregon Pacific at
the crossing nor of town it was all that
four men could do to make the transfer

struggled vainly to tscape his keepers. An

Kelley Institute at Forest Grove. His
name could not be learned.

Fishing for salmon trout 10 Mill creek

citizens not otherwise employed. From
early morning until late at night very
many visit the stream with lines and pole,
and wait patiently for "bites." Occasion.

it does they are amply rewarded for their
trouble. Fish eighteen inches long baye
been pulled out of the water, aud these
make very palatable meal. Yesterday
was very favorable time, and, notwith--
standing the holiness of the day, we are in.
formed by a spectator that several very
fine trout were caught with hook and line.
The close season for mountain trout will not
be over until the lst of next month; but in
the meantime the silvery salmon will be
deluded into the spsrtsman's basket. and
catching these will stimulate him to greater
exertions when the speckled beauties begin
to course their tortuous way up our streams.
Salmon are considered royal FISH in some
