The Dalles a regular station. , Mr.
Brooks, who has for a long time been a
volunteer observer at The Dalles, made
application for this point to become a
regular station some time ago. : One of
his arguments was that the atmospheric
conditions are such in this part of Oregon,

absolutely neccessary that a weather
bureau station should, be established
here.

farmer, who lost his orchard by- an ap
plication of kerosene is alone to blame

lowed it.. Wasson read the' recommen
dation to nse kerosene to destroy borers,
and accordingly procured a small syringe
and loaded it up with the inflamable
fluid, injecting a small quantity into the
opening made by borers in the roots,
having first dug away the earth to ex
pose the roots. He has abundant proofs

The story from Hwaco- that Mr. D. M
rrencn of this city was a prisoner over

was ehut against him with a bang. Af

tended to have the picture blowed into

fresh and nice.
. Mr. Linus Hubbard of The Dalles,
never leaves a stone unturned if he sus
pects there is a worm under it to entice
another early bird to enlist in tbe cause
of an open Columbia river. As an old-
time friend of Ex-President Cleveland,
he recently sent him a photo of the
whalebacks coming to The Dalles, and
solicited the use of his influence , toward
opening the river. Among other things
in his answer Mr. Cleveland says he is
fully appreciative of the benefits to the
farmers of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, -resulting from Convenient and
cheap transportation of their products
to tbe markets of the world, and that
everything which will bring abont ' that
end is of great interest to bim.
The onlv fish wheel about The Dalles
doincr unvthlniy todav. is the nDDer' Wi-
nants wheel, in the very edge of the
rapids. It is a magnificent wheel, too,
and it cost something. There is 100,000
feet of lumber in this one wheel, and the
cribs supporting it are filled with 200,000
tons of rock..- The wheel that first occu
pied that site cost $2,500, but before a
salmon had been caught in the wheel
the swift water of the Columbia washed
it away as if it were a mere toy. Then
Messrs. Winant concluded to put in one
that wonld stand. They calculated
right it has been a profitable invest
ment. To Let.

No Encampment This Tear.
- At the meeting of the board of officers
held Monday evening it was decidenot
to hold an encampment of the O. ". G.
this year. ThiB, however, was the first)
official decision in this respect, and up
until within a few days of the meetiug
the committee appointed for that pur
pose was still endeavoring to devise
some way by which the encampment
could be held. To the last it had been
hoped that the state military board
would do something to assist them finan
cially, but that body is overwhelmed
with financial difficulties now, and does
not feel like incurring any additional ex
pense. The companies at Salem held
encampments, it is trne, but did so by
the financial aid of the citizens and
going into their own sockets. This lack
of funds, together with the lameness of
me season .ana tne indifference wmcn
the members have at last come to feel,
was the reason of tbe final decision.
In Abeyance.
Saw Fbakcisco, July 20. -The provis
ion in the fortification bi!l introduced
by Senator Felton and adopted by tbe
senate, authorizing the appointment of
a board to examine and report upon the
best location for a gun foundry on the
Pacific coast, and appropriating $2,500
for that purpose, is now being considered
in conference committee. Wbat tbe re
mit may be cannot be stated definitely,
but there is a good chance for its accept
ance by the conference. It carries no
appropriation for the foundry, the ap
propriation of $1,000,000 having been
disagreed to by the senate.
At the Jieact
of all blood-purifiers is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Disoovery. But it'a
different from all of them. What
ever is claimed for this, it's guaran
teed to do. The money is refunded
in every case where it fails to bene
fit or cure. It's because it is differ
ent that it can bo 'sold so. All
diseases originating from a torpid
liver or infpure blood yield to it.
It cleanses and purifies the system,
freeing it from all manner of blood
poisons, no matter from what cause
they have arisen. For Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, Scrofula, Salt -rheum,
Tetter, Erysipelas, or any blood
taint or disorder, it is an unequaled
remedy. Nothing else can take its
place.
u Golden Medical Discovery "
contains no alcohol to inebriate,
and no syrup or sugar to derange
digestion.
It's a concentrated vegetable ex
tract ; put np in large bottles ;
pleasant to the taste, and equally
good for adults or children ; works
equally well all the year round.
