Heal estate speculators arc just now
very much interested in locating the
Oregon Short Line terminus at St-
John's, but the railroad officials re
main to be heard from. No one out
side of the ring believes what the
speculators claim.
Astoria hail a light snow that lasted
all day not long since, aiul the boys
had a big time sliding down hill. The
results of that one day of sport are
summed up as follows: Rroken, one
leg, one ringer, one picket fence, one
heart, one engagement, one knee-pan,
one shin, one gold wateh, and one ear
missing. The boys had lot* of fun.
The Cheuey Sentinel publishes this
story: "One of the most singular phe
nomena which ever fell under the
writer's observation is visible in a well
at Merriam A Hall's mill, up the N.
P. At a depth of ninety feet the gravel
is frozen solid, while forty feet above
water is dripping. Ice forms so rap
idly that Morris, the contractor, has
been forced to throw up the contract.
A draft of air at the bottom indicates
a subterranean passage.''
The mormon ministers are begin
ning to meet with opposition in civil
ized communities outside of Utah, A
South Carolina dispatch of Saturday
says: Two middle aged men arrived
iu the town of ltockville, York county,
yesterday. They gave their names as
Elders J no. M. Eaton and Angus Mc-
Kay, of Salt Lake, missionaries of the
church of Latter Day Saints, and an
nounced their intention of entering at
once upon their work of proselytisni.
A committee of young men of the
town waited on them last night and
warned them toleavethecounty with
in 2i hours, on pain of being tarred and
feathered and ridden ou a rail. They
went away this morning.
Among the recent developments
along the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad, may be mentioned the lime
find on lake I'end d'Oreille. Several
months ago a party of travelers came
across what they considered a ledge of
marble, but subsequent developments
proved it te be limestone of the very
best grade, equaling if not supeiiur in
quality, to the famous San Juan stone.
The claim was purchased by Messrs.
J. C. Davenport, ('. li. Hopkins, R.
Evert & Co., J. Q. Spaulding and J.
Belcher, who are at present building
kilns, warehouses, etc., and making
extensive preparations for putting the
lime on the market in the spring. The
superior quality of the product assures
the fortunate purchasers of the claim
a rich investment and promises to be
one of the most valuable industries in
the inland empire.
Skamama OOCJTTT.—Not long since Alex.
Borthwich of the Cascade mills, had bis
overcoat stolen, a stylish garment which
stood him for ii>3 coin. A wood-chopper
was suspected of the theft, a swaggering
fellow, fond of flourishing a revolver, ami
who proposed to run the w hole county or
eat it up. He had threatened the book
keeper at the mill, and various other per
sons, until it was concluded by the resi
dents that it was time to dispose of him.
A committee of fifteen, with a good rope m
hand, waited upon the roaring lion and in
formed him that his times had come unless
he immediately produced that missing over
coat. He proceeded v. about delay to bring
forth the aforesaid overcoat, which he laid
before the committee. He was then gi»( n
five minutes tune in which to vamoose the
ranch. In just a minute and a half he had
his satchel packed and was making tracks
for some healthier locality. The mill camp
trill now be left in peace for a time.

Chicauo, 111., Jan. 16, ISB3.
Ukak Ishki'kniiknt:
Since my last communication 1 have con
templated a trip to the wild* of Washington,
hi discussing the pros and cons with my
butter half we have naturally fallen into a
comparison of the advantages of life east and
west. We are agreed that Chicago furnishes
unequaled facilities for spending money.
On every hand are luxuries which custom
converts into necessities. No night during
the year is without its amusements. No
Sabath need be spent away from grand
preaching and glorious music. Schools are
of the best. What more can one ask? No
thing in the way of luxuries, amusements or
advantages of education. And yet there are
things to make the primitive life of the west
attractive. While you have glorious sun
shine and genial temperature during most of
the year, we breathe the smoke of commerce,
gaze upon leaden skies, inutile in furs or
swelter in linen. The sun is no friend to
Chicago. In winter we rarely see it —iu
summer we see it too much. We freeze or
we burn. The west gives fruit iu intinite
variety, fresh aud toothsome. Chicago has
fruit, all the year round, but it coutains
mure colic to the pound than any other
known of men. The west is abundantly
supplied with pure water—at so much per
month iu advance or ten per ceut. penalty—
while Chicago has ouly Lake Michigan te
draw from, aud therefore does not begrudge
its consumers the fish aud frogs that fre
quently come in with it. The west has free
laud, almost. In Chicago one cannot afford
to die, for laud is too dear to be buried in.
In the west one can shoulder a gun and
tramp around all day in the wet and maybe
find a duck. In Chicago bankers and rich
men can find them on South Water Street,
aud they smell. They arc undeniably au
eient. The ducks I mean. Aud fish, too.
After gazing upon the "fresh fish" in the
markets aim realizing that time has laid its
softeniug hand upon them aud their sorrows,
a longing is created to seek the salmon or tly
the trout in its native waters. Waters that
with you yield the succulent, but silent oys
ter. With us, alas, only the bull head and
the mud turtle. While you luxuriate in
good cow butter at twenty-rive cents a pound,
we are glad to get number one oleouiarger
iue, labeled "creamery," at fifty. But we
beat you on eggs. We can always feel cer
tain of getting eggs that are perfectly ripe.
Trifles? These all trifles? Well, so they are,
but as the head of a family they strike me
as living realities. But there are more seri
ous tilings to consider. For instauce, the
other side of the house wants to know what
good a piano aud Brussels carpet will be iu a
shanty on a ranch? I gire it up. Unless,
if we failed to raise a crop we could "raise"
something on the truck. Aud she wants to
know what consolation it would be to a
woman to live in a climate so even that she
would not need four kinds of bonnets in a
year. Well, that has its advantages, but I
wouldn't like to mention them at this end of
the line. Nut at home and out loud. And
she wants to know what springs of joy there
would lie in wearing water-proof and gum
shoes all winter. So I remind her of the
years ago in Wisconsin when our pioneer
parents had to hold an umbrella ever the
bed when it rained o'nights -and that any
way she would have all summer to dry out
iu.
Oh! I've got it. Not bod yet, but when
I hear the west coast mentioned. I can feel
the even pulse bound into quicker action. I
like to hear nieu praise it and I rebel when
I hear it adversely criticized. I fear that as
the weeks go on and the liveuiug spring
time comes I can uo more resist bursting my
Chicago shell to blossom in Washington,
than can the planted acoru stay within the
dark and noisome soil, when nature moves
the life-springs within. And then, again,
pxrhapi the other side of the house will have
something to say about it. B.

The matter in dispute between Mr. Oeorge

lected Jas. YY. Cepeland as arbitrator* and
appraisers of damages in the matter. These
gentlemen are empowered to choose a third,
should they fail of agreeing between them

will be settled to the satiafactiou of the par
