The sum of money appropriated by
the state emergency board during tho
past TWO years. was passed by the
house Thursday afternoon and by Che
senate Friday afternoon. 1t was sign
ed by the governor yesterday after
noon at 5 clock and by $3.50 o'clock
was filed in the office of the secre-
tary of state. All of which looks IKE
quick work. But the fact is, while the
money appropriated by the emergency
board was costing the state $1,000 q
month interest no action was taken
by the governor or emergency board
to get the appropriation through and
stop this interest charge until the leg.
islatufe had been in session about
three weeks. As the money had already
been spent, the legislators had nothing
to do but vote it and there was nc
fight in either the senate or housec
The bill could have been put through
early in the session and saved Jht
state interest amounting to $1,000.

DOUGLAS WINS.

DOUGLAS, May 31-Douglas, 15, Vicksburg, A.
 In a fast game from start to fin ish, Douglas turned the tables on the Vicksburg baseball team last evening, more than evening up the score of last Sundays game. With Martini and Rains as the Douglas battery and good support from the field, the visitors didn't have a chance. Peo struck out ten and al lowed but five hits.
 The Vicksburg battery started of with Noonan pitcher and Harricks catcher. Soon the pitcher was re lieved but Douglas continued to slam 'em out, securing 21 hits. Coughlin relieved Rains with the catches nit in the fourth inning, the latter play ing left field for the balance of the game.
 J. A. Barrager umpired the game without any trouble.
 After the game the sailors were invited to the fire hall where a feed was prepared for them. They were taken home on the launch Peggy.

contributions the Young Women's

Accordingly, in Shanghai, which is
the greatest port in China, the nation

Mr.. PRATHER TELLS
OF COLDER WEATHER

Geo. T. prather is authority for the
statement that the low temperature of
the recent cold weather did not break
the record Of 1884
That year. says Mr.. Prather, 'the
grounding saw his shadow in Hood
River. and the week before st. Valen-
tines day we were all but frozen out.
1t reached 25 degrees below zero at the
city level here. With an Indian helper
cut several tons of ice, Is inches
thick. from Hood river. The river was
frozen between the O.W. K. & N.
bridge and the old county bridge. 9th
er Indians cut hole in the ice near
where we worked and speared many
salmon trout through it. "
Mr.. Prather says the winter of 1887
was very cold. He was postmaster
then. and the mail was carried across
the river from here to White Salmon.
The carrier, Grant Evans, made the
trip on the ice. Frequently he had to
jump from foe TO foe.
One day.. Mr.. Prather SAYS, "Mr.
Evans was lost the most of day. In
crossing the Columbia with his mail
sack, he became marooned on big ice
foe and foated several miles down
slrcam before he could reach shore"
