yesterday, but visitors to the dalles
could not enumerate the mass of splen
did salmon in the channels just waiting
for the hour to come when they could

George Rowland vouches tor the truth
of the following story of a brick fine and
a lost stove lid. The flue in question
was built by Henry Whitmore in Mr.
Rowland's new house and is probably
not a whit better than hundreds of others
that now stand in The Dalles as a mon
ument to Mr. Whitmore's skill. Some
time after the cook stove was set in place
one of the lids was lost and all efforts to
find it were unavailing till one day
George had occasion to take down the
stove pipe when he was surprised to
find the lost lid tightly wedged in the
pipe where it bad been sucked up by
the draught in the flue ! -
Hampton Kelly, of Wapinitia noticed
last year a tuft of strange looking grass
growing in ms orcnara. ino marxea
peculiarity of it was that it kept green
all summer and all winter, maintaining
its greenness after it had gone to seed.
The bunch has now spread until it is
about three feet in diamater, and the
seed blown off last year has sprouted
and is growing vigorously. The old
grass stands about eighteen inches high
Some of it was cut in February and
given to cattle and it was eaten raven'
ously. No one who has ever seen it
knows what kind of grass it is, but Mr.
Kelly has bright hopes that it may yet
be found to fill the long felt want of
Eastern Oregon for a grass that will
stand the summer drought. Mr. Kelly
says he would not take' $500 for what be
nas ot it.
Col. T. S. Lang read a most interest
ing paper last night to a small but
highly appreciative audience on the sub
ject of irrigation, as it relates, more
especially to the to Eastern Oregon and
to our own county. For nearly eight
months the Colonel has been' collecting
data to be submitted to congress by
Senator Dolph, showing what it is pos
sible to accomplish in the way of irri
gation in Eastern Oreron by a reason
able appropriation judiciously expended,
The paper real last night was illustrated
by a large chart which indicated all the
elevations and depressions in the sur
face of the Eastern Oregon section with
all the available sources of supply for
irrigating purposes. The Colonel called
especial attention to the immense body
of fine - agricultural land that might
easily be transformed into a paradise for
farmers by tapping' that fine, body of
water known as Clear lake in this
county.

The weather review -of Lieut. John P.
Finely, officer in charge at San Fran
cisco, shows that for the month past the
temperaturelias been below the normal
throughout the Pacific slope and plateau
regions, except along the extreme south
ern border of California and Arizona,
where the excess of temperature was
only about one degree. In spite of the
favorable conditions for precipitation
the amount has been insufficient for
vegetation in the southern 'portion of
I the San Joaquin valley, and in places
along tne coast. from Monterey south
ward, to San Diego. The temperatures
have been abnormally low and unfavor
able to crops quite generally throughout
the Pacific slope. ' j

the finest ever before raised in that
country. Sheep are everywhere in fine
condition.
The school law requires that "teachers
and directors shall not allow children to
attend school trom a house where there
is any contageous disease." Remember
this, says the Klickitat Star., when you
catch the measles, and don't come to
pay your subscription until a little while
after you are able to sit up and drink
hot gruel. An editor never realizes how
little he cares for $2.50 until a man with
tne measles comes to pay up. ""....
E. Jacobsen attempted today to move
a thousand pound safe from off its stand
ia order to place it in another corner of
his store. Having built an incline with
some inch boards he pried the safe from
its position with a crowbar and, having
got it to the teeteiing point, he stepped
in front to ease it down. This was the
opportunity the safe had been looking
for and the moment Mr. Jacobsen got it
to start down the incline the safe made
a dash for his legs and threw him prone
on the floor . with the crowbar across
one of his shins. Beyond the losing of
a few square inches of cuticle Mr.
Jacobsen is all right but it is a mercy that
some of his bones were not broken. As
it is, it is believed the experience has
cured him of trying to move a thousand
pound safe without help.

A Persistent Dos; Begrsjar.
One of the most persistent beggars in
Portland, Me., is a collie dog which is
very fond of doughnuts. The collie, in
company with his mistress, visited a
bakery one day last fall, and perceiving
some doughnuts in a showcase he sat
down and pleaded, by means of short,
sharp barks, for a treat. . The clerk gen
erously fed the smart dog, but he wishes
that he hadn't, for every day since the
collie has appeared to beg for more
doughnuts. If the shop door is closed
he will wait outside until some one
opens it, and then dodge in to get his
regular free lunch. Portland Letter.

which is immovably fixed in the socket
by a strong, elastic, cartilaginous
