A Pendleton paper reports that

The fire engine about which so much
has been said has been received and
tested at The Dalles, and gives satia

A company will build water works

During the splendid moonlight nights
of last week, harvest gangs were run
all night by many af the iarruers of
the Walla Walla country.
Two weeks ago a severe frost visited
the country above Palouse City. Ice
formed I of an inch thick and vegeta
bles were cut down and killed.
Alfred Ncwtou, of England, repre
senting a number of English farmers
who want to emigrate to the Northwest,
arrived at Walla Walla last week and
is now looking at the country there
about.
The contract to transport 60,500
pounds of government freight from
Wallula via the mouth of Snake river
to near the mouth of the Okanagan
was awarded to James E. Bourne and
Chas. W. Frush, at 34 49 per hun
dred pound s. Cheap rate.".
Walla Walla county has a band of
thoroughbred Merino sheep, of several
hundred, owned by White & Putnam,
on the Toucher, that are very fine.
Som? of their ewes .sheared as high as
'12 pounds each, and only 12 month's
growih of wool.
A couple of chaps at Walla Walla
tried to eve da the law by selling a slice
of boiled ham witb which they gave
away a glass of beer. Some of their
patrons "gav' them away" and they
are now in the city jail charged with
selling liquor without a license.
Walla Walla Unioo: Harvest has
been in active progress since the first of
August, and so far virtually none of
the produce has gone to market. In
the mean tim : the river is daily getting
lower, and the prospect is that by the
middle of next month boat9 that now
carry a load of 300 to 400 tons will not
be able to carry more than two-thirds
of that amount. The result will be
that a very large share of the crop will
have to be stored here over winter.
On the 12th a German named Wil
liam Neidenhoffer stopped at Pomeroy
on his way to Montana, from Seattle.
His actions being rather erratic, he
was watched to some extent. After
eating his breakfast he sat down on the
steps of the grist mill, and it was soon
discovered that he had cut a terrible
gash across his throat and that his life
blood was ebbiog away, and he died
in a few minutes. He had a good
horse and saddle, and about $100 on his
person. The supposed caube is that
traveling for days in the hot sun had
affected his brain.
Inland Empire: Two years ago all
the grain grown between The Dalles
and Deschutes bridge was produced on
the narrow creek bottoms. To-day
there are not less than 4000 acres of
hillsides growing wheat aud corn with
