 COLLEGE CHAT AND PERSONAL.
 AUBURN, Feb. 19-[5pecIai Correspond- encs. Jon last Friday morning the town was covered with about 3 inches of snow. The sight was very pretty and will long be rememb bered, as it was one of the greatest snows We have had in many years.

Every ooe was bent on fun and the novelty was enjoyed.
 The college boy was in his glory, making the day mlsesabie for anything that hove in sight. The dig gnihed professor, rat al colored gentry jared alike. h all cases tle recipients of these attentions took lheir punishment gracefully and good nature prevailed. As the day wore on the sport became contagious. Snow battles were fir. quent aud stray shots lmperiled the windows of the store keeper. whose anx- ie;y was only relieved by the prospect of Il thaw. Un Suudiy the streets and side walks were mass of slush and ice, mak- ing locomotion disagreeable.
 Qri.e number of anticipated social pleasures have been postponed on accoult of recent bad weather.
 Professor Mell's lecture on the ..Fertil- ization of Piants'' has been postponed. 1 he treat is still in store.

 Lieut.. J. B. Mcdonald of the Seventh cavalry, now stationed ia Montana, IS vis- uing the town. Lieutenant Mcdonald was formerly commindant here, and although very few of the students who served under him are now in college, his welcome IS none the less hearty.
 Miss Thomas of Atlanta is visiting the Misses WbiLtaker. Miss Thomas is quite popular, and we trust her visit will not be short one.

The Story of Damon. and Pythias.

The story of Damon and Pythias is
older than the wonderful story told by
the evangelists. The beautiful myth,
tradition, or history, it matters not
viii ,h it is called, is of an event which
antedates the Christian era by a period
of time about equal to that which inter-
venes between the discovery of Amer
lea by Columbu and the present year.
The reign of Dionysius, the elder,
marked an era of selfshness in the
worlds history. Following the exam
pie of tyrant, his adherents in the
Isle of Sicily Wed In obliterating from
the tables of their memory every yes
tige of that noblest principle of man
hood which recog niGes mans fealty to
his fellow. Damon, a senator at SYRIA
cuse, by his opposition to Dionysius,
in his attempted usurpation of power,
was placed under sentence of immedi-
ate death. Pythias, the time-tried
to grant him q respite, that he might
The denial of his request was followed
pure friendship that has ever Hum
mated the pages of history. Pythias
offered himself as a hostage for Damon
while he should visit his wife and child
once more before his execution.
The chains were taken from the linn bs
of Damon and placed on those OF
Pythia5. Damon was soon at his
home. He bade his weeping wife and
little one an affectionate farewell and |
called for his horse in order to return in |
time to redeem his pledge to Pytbias. |
He finds that his horse has been killed |
by his servant in order to prevent his |
return. but he secures another horse |
and flies to Syracuse. In the mean
time Pythias has been tempted to
escape the doom which seems to
threaten him. But mol he insists upon |
the terms of the hostage being carried |
out to the letter. He exclaims: sit
is sweet to die for those we love!''
The time is fast passing and still |
Damon does not appear. The block
is erected, the crowds are gathered in
the square, the funeral procession is
formed, and Pythias is led forth to seal
his friendship with his blood. Does
he shrink? No. Does he falter? No.
With soldierly and iron nerve he
wends his way, cheerfully to die for
his friend. In that awful moment the
clatter of horses hoofs is heard in
the distance and soon Damon falls
at the feet of his friend.
This display of manhood and true
courage led captive the tyrant's heart,
who, remitting the death sentence of
Damon. sought admission to their

THE DALLEs PORTAGE.
Result of Yesterdays Visit to the vicinity
of Cello.


Last evening Sheriff Driver, Con-
gresham Ellis. l. NJ Day and Mr.
Aldrich returned from their up-river
trip, the object of which was to in
spect the probable route of the pro-
posed dalles portage canal. which if it
is constructed, viii connect the middle
and the upper beaches of the Colum-
bia river.
The gentlemen of the party were
unanimous in the belief that the great
enterprise is wholly feasible, and that
the work can be consummated at a cost
considerably below the estimate of
$4 900, 900.
1t will be necessary to excavate two
canals, with a combined length of seven
miles. Were the rock to be removed
of rebelliOus character the task
would be a herculean one, but happily
this does not prove to be the case.
Moreover, a natural canal, quite deep,
straight and wide, extends from Seu-
fert's cannery nearly mile along the
proposed route, and this fortuitous
circumstance, which will be taken ad-
vantage of if the work be inaugurated,
will materially reduce expense and
expedite construction.
The gates of the lower canal will be
located within two miles of The Dalles.
Between the two canals. the river is
:unobstructed for distance of nearly
six miles.
Mr.. Day states that the vast water
power of the dalles will be utilized in a
score of economical ways should con-
gress sanction the plans of the projec-
tors OF the enterprise. Motors will be
placed in position and to them will be
harnessed drilling, traction and other
machinery.

ter the foreman on the government
works at the Cascades, A. S. Macal-
lister, T. J. Driver and S. L. Brooks
left this morning in wagons to make
an examination of the portage be-
tween this city and Cello. Mr.. Day
believes the work can be done cheaply,
and that there is sufficient rock on the
ground to be used in the walls, the
cost of which is always an important
item Of expense in the construction of
canal and locks. They will return
this evening, and then Mr.. Day will
have arrived at some definite con-
cluslon regarding the probable cost of
canal and locks between this city and
Cello.

WARREN FRAZIER KILLED.
The Fatality the Result of Runaway
Near Telocaset.
La Grande Chron Gle

News was brought down from Telo-
caset Tuesday evening by Fireman
John Leavette of runaway accident
in which Warren Frazier, an old resi-
dent of that locality. was killed. The
scene of the accident was near Powder
river, short distance from the tunnel.
At this place Mr.. Frazier was asso-
ciated with some others in developing
some mineral lodges. He was return
ing from Union with a load of supplies
for the mines. and while driving down
grade toward the river keg of nails
rolled out of the wagon on the horses
heels. The team started to run. and
MIR. Frazier was caught in the rope
used to operate the brake. The rope
was coiled across his shoulders and
around the lower part OF the body. In
this position he was ensared in such
way as to make release impossible, and
the coil of death was deeply embedded
in the flesh, almost cutting his body in
two. When assistance arrived life
was already extinct, and the pieces OF
rope imbedded in his body could not
be removed except by the use OF
knife.
A most touching circumstance in
connection with Mr.. Frazier's untimely
death is the fact since last December
five children in the family have died,
and Mrs. Frazier. broken down with |
the affiic lion, has been an invalid for |
several months. Ali the children,
with the exception of the Oldest |
were victims of the ravages
Of diphtheria which made its appear
ance in the family during the winter.
Mrs, Frazier and her daughter have
been living in Union while
1er husband was at work at the mines.
