THE wISTFUL DAYS.

What is there wanting in the spring.
The air is soft as yesteryear:
The happy-nested green is here.
And half the world IS on the wing
The morning beck01s and like balm
Are westward waters blue and calm.
Yet something's wanting in the spring
What is II wanting In the spring?
o April, lover TO us all
What is so pregnant In thy thran
When children's merry voices ring2
What haunts us in the cooling dove
More subtle than the speech OF Love.
What cameless lack or loss OF spring.
Let youth go daily with the spring.
Call her the dear. the fair. the young:
AND AL her graces ever sung.
Let him. once more rehearsing sing.

Hood River Mill Burglarized.

Saturday evening burglars entered
the mill office and secured SIC. 81 from
the safe, which was unlocked. They
gained entrance by crawling under
the mill and coming up from the
ground floor, the office door being
unlocked inside. The safe was un-
locked, and but little over ten dol
lars was in a drawer, which they se'
cured, and made their escape.
Marshal Ganger said that he sus'
poets a couple OF hobos which have
been doing time ON the streets, al
marks plainly showed a small sized
shoe, which corresponded to those
worn by the men, and also marks In
the sand showed where lantern wal
used, and 1t is thought they secured
lantern from the street, where 1t wal
used to mark excavation work. Their
is no further clue to the robbers.

Trains Running Over New Bridge.

The first train to run oven the new
bridge was No. Z, on Saturday, Con-
ductor Weedin in charge. Saturday
morning a big force was put to work
changing the track, and the main
track was connected with the one over
the new bridge between the time No.
2 left and the time for No. 7 to be
due, SO that no delay was occasioned
the running of trains on account OF
the transfer. The track over the old
bridge has been cut off, and No. on
Saturday was the last train to pass
over 1t. The switch connecting the
Mt. Hood road was next laid, and
Monday the side track was connected
with the new grade. The work re-
quired che moving Of the water stand
pipe about two feet, and also the NOV
ing OF the section house.
Light rails are still on the new
bridge and fill, and the regular heavy
rails will not be laid until the track
Is properly ballasted, as any uneven
ness in grade is very harmful to the
heavy steel rails.
