Andrew St. Martin was brought up
from the Cascades Sunday to be sent
to the county poorhonse. He is so very
low that the' doctor in charge recom
mended that he remain at the Umatilla
house till the cool of the morning to
morrow. The poor fellow has a large,
fungus-like abscess on his right thigh,
as large as a man's head. He stayed in
the Portland hospital till his money gave
out when he was discharged. The doc
tors there apparently experimented with
the abscess by digging into it, as there
is an open sore fully threeinches in di
ameter. Tho man is in a horrible con
dition and cannot possibly, it would
seem, last long.

Joseph Southwell,' five y.rs ago,
bought 320 acres of land bordering on
the Columbia river, at the state price of
$1.25 an acre. It had been lying for all
time previously as land not worth pur
chasing. Last week Mr. Southwell sold
it to Seufert Brothers for $2000 cash, and
besides Mr. Southwell retains a ten
year's lease of the same lands for the
consideration of one dollar and taxes.

A prominent rancher of Grant county
named John Austin and his man John
Guthridge were arrested in Pendleton
last Sunday evening, charged with the
larceny of a steer. The men were just
about to ship 36 head of cattle from the
U. P., stockyards at Pendleton. Sus
picion attached to them because it is
claimed that seven head of the cattle
bore the Lux & Miller brand, and this
firm is not in the habit of selling cattle
in small lots. It is also claimed that
several other brands were seen among
the bunch and that the men acted as if
they wished to make a hurried shipment
and avoid attention. Austin claims that
he bought the cattle from several per
sons in the John Day country. The men
were committed to the county jail pend

Mr. Greene, the chief magistrate of
Greeneville, looks after the comfort of
the campers.
The child of Mr. Richmond was quite
sick last week but has recovered under
the stimulating influences of pure air
and water.
Fish and game are plentiful. Mr.
George Filloon, Nick Kinnott, Sam Thur
man and others made a fishing trip, to
Wind river. Each got about ten dozen
fish. Mr. F. made the largest catch
which he says is due to a new fangled
hook of his own get up patent applied
for.
Ed Mills is the bear hunter of the
camp. One day last week he got sixteen
or I should say got where sixteen had
been. Ed says he is still on their track
and will get them if he has to kill them
with an ax.
That druggists as a rule have senator
ian voices and magnificent vocabularies
of words none of the campers at Green
ville will ever doubt. Saturday morn
ing before the sun had left her bed, the
denizens of Greenville were arroused by
unearthly yells which changed into pit
eous wails and exortions, seeming to
come from the top of Wind mountain,
and while visions of the Itata steaming
up to storm The Dalles, the Regulator
making her trial trip or some one in the
embrace of a bear was passing through
the minds of many, some one had the
presence of mind to look across the river
and there was Mr. East Portland drug
gist who wanted to cross the river and
thought it an effectual way of arrousing
them to the fact. Whether ho thought
we had been celebrating the Swiss anni
versary or were relatives ot the seven
sleepers it is hard to say. It is needless
to add that his time was profitably oc
cupied in fishing for the next day or so
till the popular wrath had subsided.

scarcely able to tell that a huge wild cat
lay crouching on a log up the mountain
side. George Joles immediately took
gun and bov and repaired to the cat
Careful aim was taken and the head
well pierced with a bullet, but for some
reason (enqughof meat in camp already
we suppose) the animal was neither
skinned nor taken to cam). A few day's
ago Senator Watkins was out hunting,
as our readers know, and came upon the
same cat and as it blinked viciously at
him with one eye, he shot it dead. The
senator soon learned that he had been
wasting his ammunition on a pine
! stump, but he does not know yet per
haps that the eye that blinked so
viciously, was the hole made by George
Joles' bullet in the same stump the year
t before.
Th Outlook for Wheat.
Bradstreet's Ixmdon correspondent
has forwarded a rejtort on the condition
of wheat abroad, which indicates that
Europe will have to import about 281,
000,000 bushels this year.
He states that with respect to Russia
the most contradictory reports have
been issued, but there is no doubt that
the -wheat crop is a big failure in many
parts of the empire, and that it would
be a safe estimate to assess it at 15 per
cent, less than last year's crop.
The latest report of the Hungarian
minister of agriculture indicate a reduc-J
tion of "JO per cent, ot tno current Har
vest in Austria. The Hungary weather
has since improved prospects. Brad
street's report allows 70,000,000 bushels
for the new crop of the United Kingdom,
and 145,000,000 as the necessary irajwrts.
France will require about iuu,(Hju,tuu
bushels; Germany will have to import
not less than 35,000,000 ; Italy, 25,000,-
000: Spain and Portugal, 16,000,000:
Switzerland. 6,000,000 : Turkey, 10,000,-
000 and the rest of Europe, 32,000,000.
The total imports will be 281,000,000,
bushels.
It is estimated that if an allowance of
33,000,000 bushels for export from India
and 144,000,000 from the United States
be made, there will still remain a deficit
ot about HJ4,UUU,0U) to be supplied irom
minor sources outside of Europe.

The double event, the celebration of
the six hundredth anniversary of the
Swiss republic and the anniversary of
the birth of Mr. August Buchler, were
made the occasion, last Saturday even

time among the Swiss residents of the
city. During the evening both the third

naded that gentleman in front of hie
residence at the Columbia brewery, after
which the musicians and procession of
Swiss residents were invited within to

Mrs. Phillip Brogi.n, which occurred at
her residence on Little Trout creek last
Sunday. The unfortunate woman died

Tha case was an extremely sad one.
Deceased was about thirty-six years of
age, and she leaves a Husband and six
children to mourn tlieir irreparable loss,
Mrs. Brogan was a lady of excellent

sympathy of their numerous friends in
their terrible affliction.
Sadly Afflicted.
Last Monday another of Mr. and Mrs.
John Savage's children died with diph

cut down in little over a week.' Such an
affliction as this is indeed hard to bear,
and the sympathy of the entire commu

Only a short time ago their family was
composed of eight sprightly, robust chil
dren. Now only four are left, four hav
ing fallen victims to the dread disease,
and were carried away almost without
warning. Ochoco Review. -

Aa Important Morement
The Oregon State Board of Immigra
tion, whose headquarters are in Port
land, are now engaged in getting ready
their second exhibit car, "Oregon on
Wheels." This car will start east Sep
tember 1st, and the managers are desir
ous of having Eastern Oregon well rep-
j resented by specimens of her products,
fruits, grains, minerals woods, etc
Major G. W. Ingalls, who has been in
our city for several weeks past, writing
up the resources of this section of the
country has been solicited to gather an
exhibit from this locality for "Oregon
on Wheels All articles left at this
office for this exhibit will be expressed
free to Portland. If fruits, tliey should
be well selected, earefully packed and
the name of the person who raised the
fruit and postoffice address stated, also
the age of the tree.
The fruit on arrival at Portland will
be pnt up in large jars and the full
memorandum regarding the fruit put on
the jar. If any surplus of fruit is sent
main unchanged. The general topics
are finances and the wheat situation and
market prospects, which we give in this
column.
'. In brokers' circles the finance question
is of an easy character. The demand
for loans are less frequent than they
were last spring and the money market
is more or less quiet on that account.
The harvest, which is on hand and with
the prospect of a fair average of pro
duct and prospective high prices to be
realized, will ease obligation and give a
new impetus to all kinds of trade and
improvements.
WHEAT Ol'TLOOK OE THE WORLD.
- That there is a shortage of breadstuff's
throughout the world is a fact beyond
contradiction. All reports from Europe
are confirmed and the deficiency which
is necessary for the actual need, is great
er than at first supposed. It is variously
estimated that it is from 300,000,000 to
619,000,000 bushels, but, however this
may be, enough is known that all the
reserves and surplus will be required,
and then the demand is not supplied.
Russia has already issued her ukase
forbidding the export of rye or rye flour,
which is the breadstuff of the empire,
and that the utmost care must be ob
served to prevent starvation within her
borders. India is threatened with a
home market for nearly all her surplus
as the diouth has been severe on a large
portion of her agricultural districts. The
Daubian provinces have fair crops, but
England, whose prospects have been very
flattering, is suffering from continued
stormy weather, and the latest dis
patches report no favorable change in
the outlook. We append the following
from Bradstreet's correspondent which is
considered authority :
New York, Aug. 8. Bradntrcst's Lon
don correspondent has forwarded a re
port on the condition of wheat abroad,
which indicates that Europe will have
to import about 281,000,000 bushels this
year; He states that with respect to
Russia the most contradictory reports
have been issued, but there is no doubt
the wheat crop is a big failure in many
parts of the empire, and that it would be
a safe estimate to assess it at 15 per cent
less than last year's crop. Latest re
ports of the Hungarian minister of agri
culture indicates a reduction of 20 per
cent, for the current harvest in Austria-
Hungary. The weather has improved
the prospect. He allows 75,000,000
bushels for the njew crop of the United
Kingdom and estimates the following as
the amounts which will be needed by
the several countries mentioned :
Bushels.
145,006,000
100,000,000
36,000,000
such surplus will be put in jars and
turned over to the Portland exposition.
Need of Caution
The men who control in the directory
of the Columbia River Railway and Nav
igation Company are people who have
been the trusted agents and railroad
builders for the Northern Pacific for
many years. Its charter does not allow
it to build branch lines, therefore the
Northern employs others to form sepa
rate corporations, and after haying com
pleted a branch line in any desired lo
cality it is turned over to its own operating-department.
In this way . Paul
Mohr and A. M. Cannon, the apparent
head and front of the Columbia River
Railway and Navigation Company, have
built several lines of road for the North
ern Pacific. It is more than suspected
that the scheme they have now on hand
is another .Northern racluc job which
these enterprising gentlemen have un
dertaken. Before recommending the
subscription to the capital stock of this
company of fooo.ouo tne chamber of
commerce committee should make such
thorough investigation as to leave not
the slightest chance of a mistake in the
matter. If the Northern is in the
scheme, it is in it to control it and we
all know what that means. TforW.
A Tempest in a Teapot.
Engineer Geo. B. Leach rushes into
print and talks about "blackmail against
myself and conductor" and the assertion
of the Chnonicle being false "in every
particular" because a certain paragraph
appeared in this journal on the 8th inst.
containing a simple statement of fact as
it appeared to the eye witness' who
wrote the paragraph and handed it ; to
the editor of the Chronicle for publica
tion. We read the paragraph earefully
when it was handed us and have read it
over carefully since, and we are of the
opinion that it required considerable
lack of the charity that thiuketb no evil
to see in it any evil intention towards
Mr. Leach or his conductor. " Neither
the author of the paragraph nor - the
present writer knew who the engineer
was nor do either of -ns know who the
conductor is, to this moment.- - If Mr.
Leach supposes that the Chronicle
would stoop to attempt an injnry to any
of the employes of the U. P. company
he is simply mistaken, that is all.

He estimates that if the allowance of
33,000,000 bushels for export from India
and 114,000,000 from the United States
be made, there will still remain a deficit
of about 104,000,000 to be supplied from
minor sources outside of Europe.
Reports come in from Central America
to the effect that the Columbian states
will require imports from abroad to sup
ply their deficiency ; also a portion of
Mexico is quite alarmed over the drouth
which is now devastating 4 portion of
her republic. The reports thus far re
ceived, which are considered reliable;
indicate that the world was never put on
such short rations, in fact, has never
seen such a great deficiency.
Cablegaams announce firm markets
with an upward tendency in England.
New York and Chicago markets are
steadily looking up, and San Francisco
quotations show a rapid advance.
The alliance circulars which have been
sent . out to the several grain states
monthly are having an influence, and
already Tennessee and Kansas have
acted on the advice and are holding
their wheat for better prices. Millers
have been compelled to advance the
price or seek other states' for their sup
ply, which in some instances has been
done.
On our coast the wheat market is in
active, although steady. In Walla
Walla and beyond, 68 and 70 cents is be
ing offered, and some has changed hands
at these figures. There can be but little
doubt that wheat will command good
prices before another harvest,

The market is well supplied with all
kinds of vegetables and fruits, water
melons sell at $1 to 1.25 per dozen. Can
teloupes are brought in in quantities and

CHOPS.
The rain did no material damage to
the wheat crop1. Much of the fall wheat
was cut and in shock, readr ior the
thresher, and about all the damage done
was the delay ' whieh will crowd fall
wheat threshing and spring wheat cut
ting close together. There are a few re
ports of wheat having fallen, but this is
practically nothing. A continuation of
the rain would have caused the wheat
to sprout. The clearing weather was
most timely. Threshed wheat in Polk
and Yamhill counties has been averag
ing from 25 to 40 bushels per acre : oats
also yielded well. In some sections
plowing for summer-fallowing is in
progress. The rains were of great bene
fit to rood crops, gardens, pasturage and
young orchares and had a tendency to
destroy aud cause a cessation of the rav
ages made by the hop louse and codlin
motn. lne lour days ram was most un
usual for this season of the year, but
fortunately no damage was done and
good results from it are expected.
EASTERN OREOOX WEATHER.
The teniperatitre has been consider
ably below the average for this season of
the year. The weather has been cloudy
or partly cloudy and general showers
prevailed on Thursday and Friday, rang
ing from .04 of an inch at The Dalles,
.07 of an inch at Eeppner to .38 of an
inch at Baker City. In the Blue moun
tains in Union , Wallowa and Baker coun
ties snow fell on the night of the 5th.
The temperature was so cool that fires
were necessary in the house for comfort.
CROPS.
The rains delayed harvesting and
threshing for two days.-Xo damage
was done to the wheat by the rain,
though it did some damage to the hay
crop east and south of the Blue moun
tains. In Wasco county, from Dufur to
The Dalles, the wheat is shrunken and
and the yield is poor; some smut is to
be found: in other sections the wheat
yield is good. In Gilliam county there
is some rust. In Morrow county the
wheat is yielding even better than was
expected, in Umatilla county the yield
is better than for man wears. Wallowa.
Union, Baker, Crook, Grant and other
interior counties have excellent pros
pects, a. a. Pagce, Observer.
