We were shown some first-class work
in map-drawing this morning by w. F.
Johnston, craftsman who.has for some
time been employed by G. J. Crandall.
He is a spendid workman, and his map
of Palestine would be invaluable to stu
dents of sacred history.

Eecting tour in the upper country, ar
rived from Prineville this afternoon and

spring. He is very sanguine regarding
the mines he has located along Crooked

Somehow report has been circulated
that Smith Bros, would not continue

j. B. O'Brien, superintendent of the
o. R. & N, who has been making tour
of the road and spent some time in the
Blue. mountains, between Pendleton and
La Grande, reports that there are from
six to eight feet of solid snow in that
section. At Meacham station there
Columbia comes from these mountains,
and 1t is to be hoped we will have our
warm weather in sections this year to
prevent the rise being delayed till June.
During the terrible wind storm yes
terday afternoon q small boat, contain

cross the river from Columbus to Grants
They lad almost reached the landing
place on this side when the boat upset

A Dalles small boy who fully realized

workin' to git into'a show. May be he
gifts there and maybe he don't.''
