The Mormon elders claim to have
healed a woman over at White Salmon,
who had kept to her bed for seven years.
They tasted and prayed and laid hands
on her and she got up and walked. The
other day one of their sisters here was
sick. She sent for the Mormon elders
and they prayed and laid hands on her
but she did not get up. She said, 81

On account OF passenger train No. 1
being several hours late this morning,
Captain Sherman failed to reach Stanley
Rock in time to bring the Inland Flyer
up so that she could leave the dock here
at O'Clock. However, she arrived
about IL O'Clock, and landed with no diff
ficulty, the river being almost clear of
ice. She started for Portland at ~
O'Clock, carrying quite list of passen-
gers. The Dalles City will arrive this
evening.
Arthur Stubling returned home on
the 5 80 train last night, and there was
great rejoicing in the Stupling family,
his mother having decorated the parlors
in an artistic manner to assist in ex-
pressing the welcome in store for him.
Though thinner than when he lett home.
Arthur says he gained much on the re-
turn trip and is feeling well. He is
more than delighted to be once more at
home and away from fever stricken
Manila. In the window of Mr.. Stubling's
saloon may be seen a collection of
souvenirs which Arthur brought ewith
him.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Patterson re-

Sc 'Tis sweet to be remembered" bu,
sweet remembrance is even better. So
thought the young ladies of THE CHRoN-
ICLE force this morning, when a gener-
GUS box of their choice candies was
placed on our table by messenger from
Pease & Mays grocery department.
They contained none of Hobson's kisses,
advertised some time since, for those
have grown too common in Eastern
cities, and Pease & Mays are up-to- date.
However, if anyone doubt the sweetness
of the mixture, they are referred to tho
com positors, who are not only good
judges of pi, but candies as well.
The land Office reports a great rush of
business, having shipped about $4,000
so far this month. AS January 1st
marks the close of the time in which
cash purchases can be made under the
act of September 20, 1890, (R. R. for
feiture act) the receipts from this source
alone will doubtless foot up as much as
81 900 day from now until the close of
the year. The number of homestead
entries and proofs of all kinds kept pace
with the remarkable record of the earlier
months of the year. The land Office is
tar above maximum" and it is need
less to say the officials are glad of it.
When mentioning the Christmas ex-
ercises which are to be held in our city
this year we were not prepared to re-
port definitely concerning the most i'm
portant tree of all-that to be given by
the Salvation Army for the needy ones
in our midst. This is grand and COM
mendable custom which the army OBJ
serves every year in looking after those

brate, said, we "have always with u.s.
The city has been laid out in districts,
