East Oreyonian: The editor "of The
Dalles Chronicle calls the editor of The

editorship of the Wasco Sun. Mr. Mor
gan has always dealt with us fairly, with
. one exception that we do not know to-day
whether he is a protectionist or free
trader, only by inference. His quotations
from Longfellow's '"Excelsior" and Mrs.
Partington were absolu'ely harmless, and
simply sopomoric quirks, perfectly ex
cusable in a novice.

; . Walla Walla Statesman: The Dalles,

walls of stores are left to show what was,

Goldendale Sentinel: Fred C. Bowers "had
sixty sacks of wheat burned on his home
stead a few days since. The straw pile hy
which it was stacked caught fire and in the
burning destroyed the wheat. Tbe fire it
is supposed originated from a spark
from a passing engine of a threshing
machine. We understand R. B. Stout lost
a stack of straw by fire supposed to have
caught in the same manner.

Her first Trip.
From Thursdays Daily. - -The
Regulator made her initial trip this
morning, leaving the foot of Cjurt street
at the hour of about half past 9 o'clock
1 here were about hfty inviffid guests on
board, including representatives of the
press Mr. J. M. Patterson, Times-Mount-
AIKEER; Frauk Middleton, Wasco Sun; aud
. Li. Brooks, Vhfomcle When the time
came for the craft to make her trial trip,
she inflated her huge lungs with steam,
and forcibly made her way into the
current of the stream like a thing of life.
This boat is a beautiful model, and
will undoubtedly be one of ' the fastest
craft on the middle riyer. It she solves
the freight problem in favor of cheap trans
portation she will accomplish the purpose
for which she was constructed, and will be
the greatest blessing ever enjoyed by the
producers of the northwest. We are sorry
that several of our leading citizens did not
receive invitations to aocompany the craft
on the trial trip, ard this lack of ordinary
courtesy under tbe circumstances appears
almost inexcusable.' '
The Regulator returned at 4:50, and land
ed at the foot of Court street. She 'made
the first hour 18 miles, and kept up an
average of 18 miles per hour. Arriving at
the Locks at 12 o'clock, she stopped at the

themselves well satisfied with the courteous
treatment received. -.

A Show "Worth Seeing,
The only really great tented exhibition
we shall have in our midst this season
will be the Adam Forepaugh Shows. In
the past, extending over a period of al
most a generation, this magnificent exhi
bition "gained the glorious worn of pop
ular applause," and now, as in the past,
"its worth is warrant for its welcome."
Everybody will be willing to admit that
"good things should be praised," and
therefore is the Adam Forepaugh Shows
worthy of all the praise they are con
stantly receiving on all sides nnd in this
respect, we agree with a distinguished
writer, who, in alluding to the. circus
wrote:
"I hold there is nothing like a good
show. It speaks the universal language
we all understand, and though we affect
at tfmes, to be permeated with other
ideas, and interested in literary or scien
tific culture, give us a good show, and we
are more delighted with it than with all
the isms and ologies which science has
given us."
On Wednesday afternoon, Sept 16th,
the great Forepaugh Shows will be here.
Another Card of Thanks.
The board of directors of school dis
trict No. 12, desire on their own behalf
and on behalf of all the taxpayers and
patrons of the district to publicly express
their thauKs to the principal, Prof. M. W.
Smith, all the teachers and Mr. Wm
Glasius, janitor of the public school, for
the persistant and heroic fight they made
on Wednesday, September 2d, to save the
high school building from destruction;
and we are confident that- it was only
Ihrough their efforts that the building
was saved.

who needed help. Sixteen of these had
left town or declined help. Eleyen- were
families of men who were at work and
needed clothing for women and children,
household furniture and food for a thort
time. The men declined assistance of any
kind for themselves. Five were in the
hands of different religious societies . of
which they were members, and were being
cared for. Six were widows' families which
would need considerable assistance.
These facts being submitted and the ex
act state of affairs being shown, it was sug
gested that a committee bo appointed to
solicit subscription in this city. This was
not thought advisable before, as the amount
necessary 1 was merely conjectural. Mr.
Mclnerny and Mr. Schanno were appointed
on the committee.
Tbe committee on investigation and dis
tribution reported their duties as numerous
and asked for an enlargement of the com
mittee. Mr. Liebe was added to their
number.
The committee receiving supplies ac
knowledged having received liberal con
tributions ot clothing and other articles,
but announced that much more was needed,
especially ladies' and childrens' underwear.
Meeting then adjourned.
Hanlon-Voltera Viewed by
Beauties in the Harem.
The Hanlon-Volters, gymnasts, athletes.
and performers of wonderful physical feats
generally, are without doubt, the most eel
ebrated in their line, of any in the universe.
Not long since in their journey around
the world, while performing at Constanti
nople, they were invited to give a private
exhibition before the Sultan and his seraglio.
The grand reception hall of the palace was
used for the purpose of the exhibition, and
the ladies of the royal harem delightedly
viewed the performance from behind a lat
ticed balcony.
These distinguished performers have twice
made the circuit of the world, and haye ex
hibited in every large city in the pld world,
and before every prince and potentate of
every country in Europe. Their perform
ance needs no interpreter, it can be under
stood and appreciated by all nationalities!
No professionals have had more experience
are more widely known, or have traveled
farther than the 'Hanlon-Volters. They
are the only aerialists capable of perform
ing the great Leotard's aerial act, known as
the "Leap for Life." This they daily ex
ecute in Forepaugh's circus, at an altitude
of 40 feet in mid-air. The exhibition is
announced to come here on Wednesday af
ternoon, Sept. 16th.

The undersigned guests, on the trial trip
of the steamer Regulator, from The Dalles
to Cascades and return, Thursday, Septem
ber 10th, desire to express their admiration
of the beautiful little steamer and the
manner in which she performed ber work
on the first trip, the first 18 miles being
made in one hoar, and the whole trip 45
miles in two bonrs and a half. When the
machinery is worn smooth we expect to
hear of her excelling the speed of any boat
oo the Columbia. We extend to Capt,

Albany Democrat: Twenty-nine years
ago,- while driving cattle over the Cas
codes for A. Hackleman, a brother of Dr.
Gray, of this city, died near tbe summit
of the mountains, and was burled in bis
blankets. Later a coffia was taken np
aud be was transferred into it and given
a more decent burial. At that time tbe
discovery of an exceedingly fine gold
ledge was made somewhere near where
Mr. Gray was buried. About two weeks
ago Richard Fox and John Davis, who
were witH the party at that time, and
Robert Brown went out to search for tbe
ledge. After a week's hunt Mr. Fox
found the grave, iust the same as they
bad left it nearly thirty years ago, but
all their search failed to reveal the moun
tain of gold, and time bas evidently
changed it to some other locality, or
more probably it was a myth and ex
isted only in tbeir minds.

Dufub, Or., Sept, 8.
Editor Times-Mountauiker:
Threshing is under full headway, and
from reliable sources I learn the yield will
average about a half crop. Some have had
a yery good yield, and in eyery case that I
have inquired about have found these to be
on summer-fallowed land.
From J. D. Ball, one of the threshers, I
learn that Geo. Rice's oats went 52 bushels
to the acre, his barlev 43 bushels, and his
wheat 30 bushels.
Haverlv's barlev went over 40 Wshels to
tbe acre. Waterman's wheat on summer
fallowed went 18 bushels, and on other
land of the same quality, 6 bushels per
acre. The farms of Andrew Allen-and of
Albert Allen ayeraged about 4 bushels, and
Ward Bros, about 5 bushels; -Eli Hinman
(new land) about 10 bushels. Mr. Bell
stated that he had as good or better crop
on summer-fallow, three years ago, when
crops were almost a total failure, and
thinks that any man who cannot let a por
tion of his land rest each season had better
quit farming. This seems to be the gen'
eral impression, too, among those who
should know.
Mr. Wm. Vanderpool, above this place,
on the creek, threshed 1,300 bashels of
wheat from less than 60 acres. George No
lan ayeraged about 15 bushels.
Andrew Dufur is now threshing and his
grain is turning out well, but how much 1
do not know.
I hear of many crops that is turning out,
or it is expected will turn out, from 6 to 10
bushels. Tbe crops further out, on Tygh
Ridge, are reported some better than in this
vicinity, but were all more or less damaged
by the warm weather, and will not average
much aboye a half crop. - But with all the
disappointments of a poor crop there are
fewer discouraged farmers this year than
ever before. Wheat is so much higher that
it don't take such a large sack to weigh a
dollar's worth.
When all reports are in it will, in all
probability, be satisfactorily proven that an
aero of summer-fallowed ground is more
profitable than two acres of land impover
ished by "attempting to raise a crop on it
year after year.
. Oar school opened last Monday, with
Prof. Frazer as principal, and Henry Pit
man assistant. The reputation of tbe "Du
fur Graded School"- as an educational in
stituoion proves that Prof. Frazier is the
right man in the right place, and the inter
est taken in the school and the confidence
reposed in its pnocipal was well shown by
the large audience that greeted Prof. Fra
zier at the chnrch last Saturday evening to
hear him lecture on "Education." Tbe
Professor, in well-chosen words,stated what
he considered an education; called the at
tention of parents and guardians to the
part they must take in educating the chil
dren; advised that the child be taught to
work; and condemned the system which
turns upon the world each year an army of
educated tramps. Prof. Frazier has chosen
the vocation suited to bis talents, and
when be attempted farming during vacation
he made a failure of it. It has long been
known among his intimate acquaintances
that he desired to join the Grange, and
when he rented a few acres of land in tbe
suburbs of Dufur from Murdick McLeod,
purchased two packages of watermelon
seeds, one package of muskmelou seeds.
and boldly asked the merchant for a pack
age of "Early York pumpkins," all hands
knew that. "Prof." meant business.' - He
was very busy for some days, and tbe
seeds were in the ground! Time passed
and the tiny plants peeped out to the sun
light, and seemed to 'smile upon the Pro
fessor Rs he wateted them with an old oys
ter can. Tbe small boy smiled upon htm
also, and frequently visited the Professor's
"ranch," as it was termed, and watched
the blooms giye 'way to small, green mel
ons. Then tbe Professor began to consult
the market reports, and talk about Farm
era' Alliance and Grange, and it is said
that once he remarked something about
"controlling the melon market." Time
and cultivation made the melons large, and
as thev increased in size, tracks of bare
feet became more numerous in their midst
The melons began Jo ripen; tracks became
more plentiful and melons scarcer. The
Professor .had neither eaten nor shipped
any as yet. He said he hadn't got the
combination .exactly and always put off
picking just one day later. . Finally but
one melon remained, and the would-be
granger ' watched its color change, and
thumped it frequently with his finger
"One day more," he said, and turned to
see a bare-footed boy sitting quietly on tbe
hjllside above the melon patch. "One day
more," he continued, "and the melon will
have gone the way of its comrades." Then
he sighed, reached for his knife and severed
the melon from the yine. He carried it
carefully to the store and requested the
merchant to sell it for 40 cents and. place
the amount in the safe, to the credit of M,
McLeod, "for," said he, "McLeod was to
have one-third of the crop; but he can have
it all this season, and I will take the land
one more year and plant it to cucumbers."
The melon was purchased by a bystander.
who took up a subscription, and when it
was cut it was found to be hardly ripe
The Professor sat by and refused to taste
it. The melon was finished, and tbe crowd
dispersed. The Professor still sat and
gazed npon the scattered seeds and the wet
spot where the melon bad been. "I want
to be a granger," he said aloud, "'but I will
not make my application until I know I
have more sense than to plant watermelons
so near a school-house." - Kkno

All these lions are made to climb into
statuesque positions, they mount tr cycles
and propel them, assisted by tbe dog, "Sax
on," and engage in racing, harnessed to
chariots, hold banners in their mouths for
tbe dog to jump over, and are made to per
form many other startling and remarkable
acts by their intrepid trainers.
During the past season these performing
lions were the reigning sensation through
out Europe, and at London and Paris they J
were exhibited for weeks in succession be
fore immense audiences. They will be seen
in the Forepaugh Sbow, which is to exhibit
