Transcriber's Note: I've refrained from copying articles that do not include
names of residents, some of the colloquial terms we'll have to guess at the
meaning of, present day capitals used on certain words were not used then.
Fraternity names and organizations I am not familiar with. Advertisements placed
in the newspaper were coded for easy identification in later issues.

LOCAL BREVITIES

    Mr. H.J. Hawson who has been sick at Arlington (Oregon) for some time is in
 the city.
    Mr. E. Olinger, of Hood River (Oregon) is in the city. We acknowledge a 
pleasant call.
    Mr. W.B. Perry, one of Hood River's solid business men, was in the city 
yesterday.
    One of the pleasant little affairs that go to settle the question that 
marriage is not a failure occurred at Mrs. John Brown's last night. It is a boy.
    The election of city officers at Arlington Tuesday resulted as follows: 
Mayor, A.A. Jayne; recorder, F.C. Rollo; councilmen J.W. Smith, D. Reed,
J. Jordan, F.M. Remington; treasurer, H.T. Hawson.
    Mr. L. Hoffman closed the contract yesterday with the board of water 
commissioners and engineer Lowe for the construction of the reservoir' and 
digging for and laying the water mains. Mr. Hoffman has begun the work of 
excavation and will push it to completion with all possible diligence.
    The court house is again in good repair though it will take a week or so to 
complete the finishing touches. The judge's room has been neatly papered, and is
as comfortable as possible. The court room is in fine condition, better than 
before the fire and the other rooms have had all evidences of the fire removed 
and are neat and clean. Mr. Crandall who is in charge of the work can justly feel proud of it. (The Dalles experienced a fire that involved 20 city blocks).
    Salem correspondence states that our Colonel Nevins will in all probability
be made either reading clerk of the (state) house or the chief clerk. The Colonel
is one of the brightest of men and will fill any position in which he may be 
pleased with credit to himself and honor to his party. Wasco (county) will be
pleased to see one of her favorite sons selected to fill the position of chief 
clerk, and we hope that Colonel Nevins will be chosen for the position. outside 
of his peculiar fitness for the position, he has served his party loyally and 
long deserves any reward it may be able to give him.
    Governor Moody came up from Portland yesterday morning.
    Mr. Wilder, of the firm of Wilder & Thompson, merchants of Goldendale, was 
here yesterday on a business trip.
    It is reported that August Buchler Esq., has resigned as a member of the 
board of water commissioners, but it is not made officially known as yet.
    Mr. Max Vogt, is fitting up the brick building, formerly occupied by Fish &
Bardon in fine style, which when completed will be occupied by Mr. L. Butler as a grocery and provision store.
    Yesterday the big clock on the court house struck, not for higher wages but 
for more hours. This is the first time it has been heard since the fire, and the 
cause of its striking was Mr. Garretson, who has the contract for repairing it,
and who informs us it will be running today.
