casionally, while snow fell in tbe sur-rounding mountains. Tbe railroadshows no improvement, and is in a worsecondition than a week ago. Two cyclonesnowplows would work wonders.

dering removal difficult. Tbe enormityof work may be realized when it is statedthat there are over 100 miles of truck toclear.

Kodaking .Before Hhooting--.
Livermore Falls special to Boston Heraid: Mr. Osgood Plummer, of Worcester,MasSq has visited Maine seven huntingseasons for moose, without being sucess-f- ul
in his efforts to bring down one ofthese kings of the forest. At tbe close ofhis last trip he left for borne grately dis-couraged, but made the remark that bewould give $100 for a good chance to killa moose.

tetoelt Tarsed Oat to Die.East Oiegonian.
Tbe largest ranches of Klamath county,Or., and Siskiyou county, CaL, are those ofJesse D. Carr, about Clear lake, and Dorris,of Butte creek valley, Cal. Owing to theunusual dry season of 1SS9, they put opmuch less hay than usual from their meadowland, and the deep snows of tbis winterwill cause tbem heayy losses. It is re-
ported by the Ashland Tidings that Carrhas turned ont about 5000 head, aud Dorrisabout 4000 head to shift for themselves in the deep snow live on browse ifthey can, or die it tbey mast, l ney eacnhave some hay at tbeir ranches, of course,bat will need it all to winter their im-
proved Shorthorns and other valuablestock. Carr, Dorris and some other ranchera are offering to give half the cattle wintered through to any one who will leeathem.
In most portions of Klamath county themajority of the ranchers will have hayenough to save the greater portion of theircattle if the snow should not remain tooIons. In Spraeue River valley tbe haystacks are biggest in proportion of the number of cattle to be ted, as usual.
In tbis valley tbe range cattle business iscarried on, on a much smaller scale, but thedrouth of last summer has left many iarmen and ranchers with less hay than usual,just when they need more than usual.Moat ot theuj will be able to buy what isnecessary, however, to save their stock.

Vancouver Jiaister: An exchange says:Walla Walla paid the Oreaonian $300 for
the single insertion of a full page advertise-ment." Cities and towns make a mistakein not spending tbeir advertising moneywith tbo home papers. Give your homepapers the money. It will go a long wayfarther and it loots better to the outsideworld.
In commenting on tbe suggestion madein these columns that oar capitalists, byoffering a bonus, attempt to direct the rail-road from North Yakima to Vancouver viaKlickitat county to The Dalles, the Klicki-tat Sentinel says: "The people of Golden-dal- e

There is a deadlock in The Dalles citycouncil on the choice of a councilman to fillthe yacancy caused by the death of Mr.Tillotsou. Tbe cause for this seems tobinge on one point; that of opening Courtstreet through to the Independence road.Oregonian. Our esteemed cctemporary
intended Dallas in Polk county, andnot The Dalles. There has been no "dead-lock" in our council, by reason of the deathof Mr. Tillotson or other cause.
Sentinel: We have it on pretty goodauthority that a proposition will soon bemade to the people of Klickitat county bya responsible company to build a railroadfrom Camas Prairie through the county toan intersection with the Northern Pacificon our east, for a small bonus; the bonus tobe given in the shape of notes, payable whenthe road is completed and in operation.Goldendale will be the junction of severalroads if those no in contemplation arebuilt.
Tbe Attorian of the 23d gives this aa itscalendar of weather for the pieceding day:"At noon yesterday the sky grew heavy,and gray aud qniet; a huge bank of lividlowering cloud obscured the sun, and slant-ing to the southwest came a shower of largesnow flakes falling in creamy masses andobliterating familiar features of the laud-scop- e.
Following the fall of snow of twohours' duration came bail, and after the bailcame rain, and then clear sky and a settingsun, and then a breeze from the frigid east,and then more rain, and after that a littlesnow, for variety."
The Orting Oracle evidently does not pro-
pose to stand any foolishness from this timeforth, as indicated in the following pointeditem: If at any time anything appear inthe Oracle which you imagine is just aboutyour size, and fits you nicely, and you arebent on revenge sure and swift, don't per-
mit tbe wind to waft a gentle zephyrthrough your whortleberry whiskers beforeyou call at the office. Our tombstone edi-

He withdrew from theemploy of the company and went north andall trace of him waa lost before his crimewas discovered. Deputy U. S. Marshal V .W. Cochran ha been searching for him forsome time and last week he beard be was inSeattle and went np there and caught him.He was then driving a delivery wagon. Hewas brought .back to this city last Fridayevening, and Monday was tried before Just-ice Lakin, on a charge of embezzlement,and bound over to await the action of thegrand jury with bail fixed at $480, which hewas unable to furnish.

HamletCapital Journal, Salsm, Jan. tl, 189a
Last evening the opera bouse was occu-
pied by Daniel E. Bandmann, tbe eminenttragedian, and his festival company, inHamlet, a Shakespearean tragedy. Thosewho failed to be present can 1 assuredthat tbey bave failed to witness one of thefinest actors that has ever visited the Paoifiocoast. Bandmann is supported by an ablenumber of ladies and gentlemen, and thosepresent last eyening were held in intenseattention from the me that the curtainwas drawn aside nntil the last word wasspoken. In listening to the grand prodne.tion last evening one was reminded of whatHazhtt aays: "This is the Hamlet, the Danwhom we read of in our youth, and whomwe seem almost to remember in our afteryears; he wbo made that famous soliloquyon life, who gave the advice to the players,wbo thought 'this goodly frame, the earth.a atenle promontory, and this brow,
firmanent, tbe air, this majeaticalroof, fretted with golden fin, a foul andpestilent congregation of vapors;' whomman delighted not. nor woman neither:' ha
who talked with the Brave-dicore- and moralized on Yorick's skull; the schoolfellow ofRosencrantz and Giuldenstern at Wittenberg; tbe friend of Horatio: tbe lover ofOphelia; he that waa mad and was sent toEngland and the slow avenger of bis father'sdeath." Tbe critics have been greatly di-vided in regard to Shakespearea intent inthis tragedy and character. Hazhtt says"it u not a character marked bv strengthof passion or will, but by rebuement ofthought and feeling." The playing lastevening waa of a most striking character.The scene at the graveyard where Hamlet,accompanied by his friend Horatio, came incontact with the grave-digger- s, was grand,but still more sublime waa it where thebody of tbe beautiful Ophelia waa slowlylowered into the cold and silent tomb.Space will forbid any further mention xttthis grand work of Shakespeare, but auffioait to say that Daniel E.

She had barely strength toarticulate, "1 m not, ere consciousnessforsook her, and abe remained thus untildeath ensued, at 6 o'clock that evening.
Aa inquest was held at the scene of tbeshooting, but as the unfortunate girl diedwithout speaking it was dithcult to eeotdewhether her death was accidental or the re-

Between Five Mile creekand the Boise river there are at least 400head of cattle, nearly the entire number arein a starving condition.

Such a state ofthing is a standing reproach to th coon-tr-y,
