Mitchell Notes.

Well, Mr., Mrs. or Miss OF The CHRoN-
ICLE, I certainly sympathize with you
when your local news have almost en-
tirely failed, for my notes of this week
are almost failure, but in my peram-
bulations for these, although L am old
and gray and rheumatic kept my feet
under me and do not have to report
bruises, if I must report failures almost.
Take a little advise from one of some
years experience, and do not undertake
such perilous descent until you have
first oiled well your stiffened joints.
And it might be well as preventative
to wear pair of goggles, if your eyesight
is poor, that you might better see your
way.
We of this mountainous region are not
seriously afflicted with stifened joints,
as should Judge not from the number
of social hops the young people indulge
in and dancing exercises that keep them
every or every other evening during the
week.
Our weather is excellent; no better
could be desired. There is but little
snow and scarcity of cold. One night
the thermometer fell to four below zero,
and no win'I for more than a week, a
thing unusual for this section.
At present the general health, like the
weather, is at the best. I can record
but one serious case of illness; Mr..
Magee is afflicted with inhamatory rheu-
matism.
Little Tommy Ware while coasting
one day last week, was knocked down
and run over by coasting sled, bruising
the muscles of one leg so seriously that
he has not been able to stand on it since.
Robby Tanz's horse fell with him a
few days since and bruised one leg so
much he was quite cripple few days,
but nothing serious.
The Central hotel is opened again, it
having been closed since the death of
Mrs. Boardman, the proprietress.
Mr.. Pearson, who was badly cut by
Phipps Luny last week, is able to return
home.
The friends of Miss Laura Sasser Will
be glad to know she is spending an en-
joyable time among relatives and friends.
AT present she is visiting friends on Gird
creek
Stock in general are doing very we'll.
Nothing is being fed except few old
horses and cows and sheep.
The snow in the Shoe Fly country is
about six inches deep. EVE.

THE NEW FISH LAWS.

dispatch from Tacoma yesterday
says:
'The joint fisheries committees OF the
Oregon and Washington legislatures to-
day considered and adopted bill which
will be favorably reported to each legis-
lature. It closes the Columbia river
and tributary streams to fishermen eight
months per year, and grades fishermen's g
license fees from 5000 down to $3.50, ac-
cording to the way the fish are caught. -
This is good law, as 1t will serve to
protect the fish, instead of, as at pres
ent aiding to exterminate them.

The Baker City Democrat mentions
the fact that the Sumpter valley mills
are emptying so much sawdust in
Powder river that in order to get clear,
clean ice, those engaged in putting it up
have to go three miles above the city.
The Oregonian of the same date mem
tions vote of thanks to Fish Commits
sioner Mcclure by the joint legislative
committees from this state and Wash
ington. As the putting of sawdust in
the streams is against the law that Mr..
Mcclure is supposed to enforce, we
opine that that vote of thanks was pre-
mature. What the fish commissioner
needs is to have his work dispensed
with.

Caution to Telephone Purchasers.


The Northern Pacific Railway com
pany uses large number of private tele-
phones at various places throughout the
length of its roads, which have been
heretofore leased from the Bell telephone
company, through whose territory the
road runs. A few months ago, by cir
cular letter from headquarters, the Bell
telephones were ordered out and were
replaced by infringing telephones of
other manufacturers.
The change, in its usual course, came
to the attention of the counsel of the
company, who decided that the guar
antees of the manufacturers were no pro-
lection, and it was hazardous to subject
the Northern Pacific railway company to
later litigation and the payment of large
damages, SO last week circular was re-
ceived by all offices discontinuing the in
fringing instruments, and the Bell tele-
phone have been ordered replaced.
Any telephone set up IN com plete
working order, embodies dozen or
more patents depending upon each other
for a satisfactory and working whole,
and therefore the expiration of one or
two of these patents does not open to
free use a complete or even workable
telephone. mw-f.
