took down, to Portland two car loads of
beef cattle and four coyotes. The cattle
niarket was dull and Mr. Warner was
obliged to sell them at a slight loss, but
what be lost on the cattle he made up
on the coyotes. It appears coyote scalps
are worth $o a bead in Multnomah
county ; so Joe hired a man for $5 to kill
the four coyotes and take the scalps to
the courthouse where the man got $20
for them and Joe pocketed $15 clear
profit. Of course the man was able to
swear that the coyotes were killed in

Corporal Will Langille of Hood River
turned the joke on his father, yesterday.
In good style. It was Will's duty, for
the first time, to superintend the -lean
up of the camp, and he took particular
pains to have his father, who is a high
private in the same company, detailed
as one of the men to do the work. Cor
poral Langille prefaced his orders to
private Langille with the significant re
mark, "Daddy I have got you now,
where I have wanted you for the last
twenty years." And so he had, and the
officers commended Corporal Langille for
having the cleanest camp and parade
ground they have had since they came
in the field. The corporal compelled
his father to go down on his knees and
pick up every scrap of paper and every
stump of a cigarette on the ground and
private Langille submitted with true
soldierly meekness, but when the work
was done, his great parental heart again
asserted itself as he told his boy,' "My
son, when I get you borne I'll take the
lint off you."

Camp Chenoweth, July 1, 1891.
The members of the 3d regiment are
hard at work learning the soldier's trade
in camp and are making splendid prog
ress. They are doing good solid work
and will be better for the drill. All is
passing pleasantly and so far no accidents
or unpleasant features have presented
themselves. Following are some of the
events of yesterday :
the games.
The first two games of the baseball
tournament were decided. T company
of Baker City and C company of The
Dalles were the first team, but through
some misunderstanding C company's
team did not put in an appearance, and

LESSONS IN GUARD DUTY.
Considerable consternation was . cre
ated amongst the guards in the wee
sma' hours by a visit from the Grand
Rounders. This is a camp of instruc
tions, and without any previous warn
ing about 2 :00 Col. Houghton, Lieut. Col.
Thompson and Lieut. Patterson turned
out and challenged the sentries, who,
being new to the business, surrend red
their arms and completely demoralized
stopd upon their posts helplessly await
ing coming events. The officers above
mentioned then gave the men a practical
lesson in sentry duty, Lieut. Patterson
acting as sentry and being tackled on
both sides by the colonel and lieutenant
colonel. It can be said without fear
of contradiction that any man will be a
sharp one who gets a gun from any one
of those sentries should they happen to
be on guard again.
AMBTVAL OF MAJOB BUBKE."
Wednesday Col. Houghton, accom
panied by Lieutenants Patterson aud
Norton arrived in town as an escort for
Major Burke of the J4th U. 8. Infantry,
From Thursday's Dally.,
This is the hottest day of the season
by far, the mercury standing at 94, and
the heat takes some of the snap out of
the boys in camp. However, they are
all doing effective work and everybody is
happy in playing soldier as it is possible
to be.
The officer's mess at headquarters de
sire to thank Mrs. Garretson for a jar of
delicious spiced peaches. They also ex
tend thanks to Mr. W. C. Cram for a
freezer of ice cream.
The band was very liberal with its
music List evening, dispensing their
sweet notes all over camp.
The band had a reunion at the head
qnarters last night and afterwards a
shirt tail parade drill. The flag On the
tent was at half mast.
Major Burke is still the guest of head
quarters and is much liked by all with
whom he comes in contact. He is a
thorough officer and a gentleman.
-. Under the chaperonage of Mrs. Dr.
Hollister a charming part of the ladies
of The Dalles went to camp in Mr.' Rich
mond's wagonette, and a jolly time Is
anticipated. '.,
Among the visitors to camp last even
ing were Mrs. Dr. Hollister, Miss Hol
lister, Miss Lewis, Mrs. Garretson, Miss
Annie Sylvester, Miss Jennie Brown,
Miss Lora Johnston, Miss Nellie Sylves
ter, and a host of the belles of the city.
Last evening the camp was very at
tractive from the number of visitors.
Many more being in attendance then
or any previous evening.
Major Burke has reviewed the second
regiment, now in camp at Eugene, and
says that the third regiment outnumbers
the second by 100 men.
Lieutenant colonel Thompson is much
pleased with the good conduct of the
men. He has only held one field court,
and this was for a mere trifle and the
man was not punished.
The Fossil base ball club, which again
carried off the honors, yesterday, have
never yet been beaten in a regular match
game, and they have played with the
Mayville club, with that of Arlington
with that of Antelope, and Condon, and
now twice, with the La Grande boys.
Besides this, two of their best players
are not here. This is a record any club
may well be proud, and as we have all
one common bunch-grass brotherhood
we are proud of them too.
The first accident of the encampment
occurred yesterday. Private C. G. Rod
abaugh, of K company, was returning
to camp from a bathing trip to the Col
umbia river in company with seven
others, when he missed his footing and
fell over a bluff, striking his left knee on
a flat rock on which be fell with all his
weight. At first it was supposed that
the knee was broken and the man
suffered for a time, intense pain. His
companions carried him part of the way
to camp, where the doctor made him as
easy as possible and a few hours after
the accident he was able to limp out of
his tent and view the races.
. THE BACES.
Last night the final heat of the 100
yard dash for men under 35 years of age
was won by signal sergeant Patterson,
private Bryan of F company taking the
second prize.
In the 100 yards dash for men over
35, Sergeant Stacy of K company won
the first prize, and private Cunningham
of E company the second.
In the 440 yards race, privates Yantes
of E company, A. E. Cole of I company,
and A. McMur-en of F company, were
the contestants. Only one heat was
won, and that was easily taken by pri
vate Yantes.
late rains and favorable weather have
stimulated the farming communities and
the general tone of business in all
branches has had a buoyant tendency.
THE SALMON INDUSTRY.
The salmon season has been a light one
for packers and canneries, the low water
in the rivers and other causes unknown
have made the catch the lightest on rec
ord. The Rockfield canning company
which put up 31,173 cases containing
each four dozen cans, for U590, has only
put up about 3,800 cases tins season and
the few fish caught, and which will be
brought to the cannery from this time to
the close of the season, will probably
not swell their pack to more than 5000
cases. Presuming the catch to be cor
respondingly small on the lower Colum
bia, the year's work will not exceed one
fourth of last season's put up on this
coast. While the market seems inactive
owing to the large export of canned sal
mon of 1890, there will be better prices
In the future, realized bvour cannery men
than formerly.
THE WOOL SITUATION.
The week's wool market shows nothing
of. Interest. The receipts have fallen off
considerably, as the bulk of the clip has
been delivered at shipping points. The
Dalles has had larger receipts this season
than last, but the sales have been less
than for the corresponding period. The
buyers, who were here last week, have
nearly all gone, as sellers' prices were
above offerings, and nothing could be
done but consider it a deadlock'. Tele
grams to-day advise buyers to pay no
more than 16c for A 1, clean wool, as the
eastern markets are declining.
THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
The United States agricultural bureau
reports a wheat product of over 500,000,-
000, which is being harvested and is rip
ening, for 1891, and that the yield in the
Northwest will be the largest ever
known. The following from Europe
will be of interest :
