The large number of passengers who
boarded the boat this morning were
treated to some dne musical selections
by the Noble Company's band, that
company going by boat to Portland.
The last heard of them they were play
ing :'The Girl Left Behind Me,'' and
from all appearances they were play
ing'' the same girl while here. Certain
it was that ample opportunity was given
them, and while the members behaved
remarkably we'll here, if the young girls
of a city have no more regard for them
selves than to hirt with every stranger
who comes to that place, they are not
to blame if they fail to overlook such
encouragement. There are half-dozen
young girls in the city, who instead of
being In school where they belong, have
appointed themselves reception COM
mittee, with headquarters on Second
street, to entertain every stranger who
may chance to come their way.
The gentlemen who have in charge
the reception for Wednesday evening
at the residence of w. H. Wilson, have

quartet, composed of Messrs. Wilson.
Glenn, Kelsay and Hobson, are busily
engaged in practicing, while the neigh
bors are as busily engaged in packing" J"

The severe snow storm which visited
Grant. Sherman and portion of Wasco
counties during the early part of last
week seems to be the straw which broke
the camel's back. Sheep and cattle
were already In poor condition from an
unusually hard winter, feed is scarce
and unobtainable, and when the worst
spell of the season was added to this
state of affairs, it necessarily produces
desperate conditions. What the out
come will be, no one dares say. A dis
patch from Wallowa county Gays: ga
few days ago it seemed as if spring were
coming, but winter took fresh hold on
the 18th. Wednesday morning there
was an inch of fresh snow. The outlook
for stock is serious. When the snow
