Rosalia liustler: The man now-a-duy

financial problem is a back number. A
conversation lietween two hobos was re

A petition will lie presented to the
city council asking that the ten feet of
the street which is fenced on Court, be

to large-sized tree and such protection
1 not needed.
A citizen while excavating this morn

a the lot before the fire i one of the
oldest in use in the city. A each year
adds about 20 per cent, to the value of
liquor, this quart of wbisky ia probably
worth about 25. We may get this
wrong about the price, bnt "we don't

In the absence of Mr. Bulfo Johnson,

DISTRICT FAIR.
Am leatlmtloa Isrlng mt the Hearti
est C'o-ttierattfn.
Waro In receipt of a package of
copies of the premium list for the fifth
annual exhibition of the Eastern Ore
gon District Agricultural Society, em
bracing the counties of Wasco, Sherman,
Gilliam, Crook, Morrow and Umatilla,
to be held at The Dalles, M asco county,
on the 10th of October next, continuing
five days. The pamphlet contains 70
pages and I full of interest. The work
1 published by the state printer, Frank
C. linker, and reflect credit on that
branch of the state department. Fifteen
hundred dollar are to be given away by
the state for agricultural, home and
stock exhibit. We are pleased to hear
that more interest is being wade mani
fest by our people in this very import
ant matter. A fair is by no mean to
be considered in the same category as a
show. They are the most ancient
and honorable of institutions, fostered
by all form of government, monarchial,
republican or otherwise. While cater
ing to pleasure, justly earned by the toil
ing husbandman at the end of harvest,
and while all manner of manly sports
and humorous diversions are encouraged,
a fair I no less a duty on the part of all
citizens of a country who claim a spirit
of loyalty. It is here meant to stimulate
a friendly rivalry which will be health
ful to production, to reward the most
successful toiler in all industries, and to
interest the women of the land, as well
as the men, by offering suitable
prize and exhibiting their handiwork.
A fair has been, and always will be aa
important an accessory to national life
a any of it building or public institu
tions. Hence there should be a full at
tendance at our next distiict fair, and
any object of merit, whether grown pr
manufactured, should find place in the
exhibition building.
SEVILLE TALKS.
A Variety af ftabjocta Headled, Mora
Especially the District Pair.
Endbbsby, Or., Aug. 13, 1893.
Our national bank here have not
closed yet and lilver i at par with gold ;
wheat and cabbage are both legal tender
for all commodities and calico wear.
There baa been no combine or trust on
onion and potatoes and not likely to be
this year. - Notwithstanding the great
calamity that ba befallen the nation on
account of the silver bill, it ha not
affected the growth of wheat, at least in
this favored part of the country, a crops
here are better on an average than they
bave been for yean.
The header ia abroad in the lajid and
with a new threshing machine purchased
by Messrs. Endereby, Smith and Flig we
are in it to stay regardless of Cleveland'
menage to congress and the fight among
the women managers of the world' fair.
J. C. Wingfield' dam broke loose with
a tremendous roar. The water went
rushing down the valley, but unlike the
Johnstown disaster did no other dam
age than perhaps scaring a few fish to
death and leaving them high and dry on
the bank.
Speaking of the world' fair and it
manager puts as in mind of our own
district fair to be held at The Dalles in
October and as we have not seen any
thing yet in regard to the special pre
mium list this year, a that is a matter
started outside of the fair management,
we suggest that Tub Ciikonici e, who is
foremost auiong the people, start the
hall a-ro!ling, talk it up or get it up, aud
also write it up so that the people will
all know it in time. They will, we are
satisfied, not only compete for the pre
miums but give it their hearty support.
As Wasco county has been blessed with
a good crop this year in both grain, veg
etables and fruit we would expect to see
a fine display. I.ant year being the first
special liit and not being advertised in
time, few of the people knew anything
of it till after the fair closed. We would
like to suggest a plan by which tlioce
special premium could be taken and
distributed so that those competing
would know w hat their premium wue
and alfo their special, by punning the
special list around and let the giver
state to w hat premium bis epecinl goes
and only one special to every firt pre
mium awarded. The Dalles jwople gave
very liberally in special lat year and
have no doubt but that they will do the
same this year. It could also extend to
the ladies who always take an active
part iu the fair, as small special in that
department would help very much, a
there is a great deal of handiwork that is
tedious and the premiums small. We
will not also forget to state that this list
can also extend to the farmer and stock
raiser, as he too can help along the
special list, if not in money or fancy
articles in produce, which would be
acceptable to some and equivalent to
cash. I think that we could find a few
that would be glad of the opportunity.
We read in the good book that it is more
blessed to give than receive. We know
that the receiving is pretty good, so let'
try the giving. A there are very few of
our people gone to the world lair lot
trv one at home. We have no doubt it
will be a success. Having every confl
dence in Ths Chrosum.b in putting it
before the people, we remain yours,
Seviu.b.
Cnht Hare Thief.
Chester Cole stole a horse, saddle,
bridle and spur from Ben Pratt Sunday
night. Pratt w a at the Fargher place,
near Kingsley. He started out imme
diately in pursuit and overhauled and
arrested the thief at Cedar Swamp,
bringing Ma prisoner Into town today.
He was arraigned before Justice Schutz
this morning, plead guilty, and wa
bound over. Cole' mother live in
Cowlitz ceunty, Wash., and hi father
is in Nevada.
The horse thief is a young man who
ho been working for Mr. Fargher. After
stealing the horse he rode off, intending
to take the Barlow route over the mount
ains, but got off on the side road leading
to Cedar Swamp. Mr. Pratt had no
difficulty in following the trail. Both
were unarmed and he soon came up to
hi victim. Cole rode into some fallen
timber and finding it impossible to pro
ceed further on horseback, jumped off,
Pratt pursuing him with a club. He
reached him and got him under complete
submission, with the result a above
stated.
A Split la the Flock.
The queer faith of Mr. William at
Portland furnishes an inexhaustible
mine for the newspaper of that town.
The Dispatch of yesterday ba the fol
lowing :
There ba been a split in the Mr.
William flock. The demand made by
the prophetess in the new faith, that all
shall fast forty days, ha been objected
to in most emphatic term by a part of
the flock, and about thirty members, led
by a lou-iinging member of the Y. M.
C. A., have bolted from her congregation.
Tbey have set op a religion of their own
and their leader claim he ia nearer
Christ than Mr. William is. This
causes the prophetess to wax wratby,
and aha i desirous of an opportunity to
sine upon the backsliding member and
cast the new devil out of them. She
propose to wage war upon them, and
judgic from report in circulation it ia
reasonable to suppose that the split in
the flock will cause some nasty denun
ciation from both side before) the week
ia out. The leader of both faction are
competent to entertain the crowd when
it come to itiff tongue-lashing and the
use of emphatic adjective more forcible
than polite. The late secession of mem
ber is regarded aa the beginning of the
end of the new faith and it is generally
hoped ao.
Mar Kiel.
Harvest is in full blast. Header can
be seen in all direction cutting down
the golden grain, and with a prospect
for a goodly quantity of grain. The
farmer appear very cheerful, except
when a thought passe their mind that
if price continue so low, all their bard
work i for naught aa far a they are
concerned. What a shame that the
farmer must pay a dear a ever for
what he buys, and sell hi produce for
just enough to pay for harvesting, and
he must haul it to market, in order to
get a chance to give it away. Well we
hope for better time and toil away.
Mr. Sutton of Dayton, delivered a lec
ture on prohibition Saturday evening,
which wa very good. There wa a good
audience for this time of the year.
Sunday evening Elder Morrison
preached a temperance sermon to a fair
sized congregation. Mr. Adams, a U.
B. minister, preceded him with a few re
marks on the same subject.
Robert Cinn was quite seriously in
jured Friday evening in attempting to
reach a bon fire that bad been kindled
for the purpose of testing the alacrity of
the fire company. He fell and became
unconscious, and remained ia this con
dition half an hour. Dr. Beers of Wasco
was summoned, in the abpence of Dr.
Smith, and he soon recovered. News
is very scarce so I must close.

Mono, Or., Aug. 15th, 1893.
Advertising- Oregon.
People who are fortunate enough to
obtain jeac!ies from the "Pcachblow
Parodi?" Orchards" of Max Pracht this
year will be fully apprised of the celes
tial character of the fruit, no matter in
how distant a clime it may be unpacked
and eaten. Mr. Pracht has lust had
nearly 100,000 peach wrappers printed,
each bearing in blue ink on white paper
hi orchard trademark, designed by him
self. It advertises the climate of South- i
ern Oregon, the city of Ashland and the
orchard business of Mr. Pracht, and
there will be no danger of retail dealers
in Oregon, Washington, Montana or
elsewhere selling his peaches as
"California fruit." Neither will there
be any likelihood of any scrubby peaches
being shipped in those wrappers.
Mr. Pracht' method of paying the
strictest attention to the details of selec
tion, packing aud marketing proves its
value from the fact that he Is able to ask
and receive for ids peache 25 per cent
above the market price. The farmers of
the state should have their attention
called to this fact, and much good
to Oregon would undoubtedly result
if bis example were to be generally
followed. One of the most strik
ing instances of the injustice he
seek to correct by advertising is the fact
that Rogue river apples, pronounced by
connoisseur the finest by long odds on
the coast, are shipped to eastern mar
kets branded "California fruit." Ore-

The Hlhim Hprlage.
A party composed of Supt. A. J. Borie, '
Mr. R. Gemmel, Mrs. Dr. Geinmel, Dr. I
Vincent and wife, Conductor If. Fowler,
Misses Ida Waflle and F.flie Frsier of!
Pendleton, Supt. N. J. O'Brien, Misses
Bessie and Frances O'Brien of Walla
Walla, Misse Minnie and Rose Michell
of this city, spent Saturday and Sunday
at Bingham hot springs, about thirty
mile from Pendleton, In the Blue
mountain. The party were more than
delighted with the beauty of the loca
tion, and the accommodation were be
yond anything they had anticipated.
Dr. Bingham ha spared no expense in
fitting up the grounds, and the hotel is
superintended by Mr. and Mr. Perkins
of Pendleton. In the Immediate vicin
ity is a good sized hotel and a large
sanitarium, which at present are well
filled, beside several cottages. An
amusement hall ha recently been built,
on one tide of which is a bowling alley,
so that guest may either exercise their
muscles or, a was the case Saturday
evening, "dance the happy hour
away." The principal place of resort is
the swimming pool, which ia about
80x60 feet large, situated at the foot of
a large mountain and aurrounded by
trees. The pool i supplied with warm
mineral water by two large pipes, mak
ing bathing comfortable at any hour of
the day. Bath house are also near at
band.
The ground are covered with an im
mense growth of tree, and a clear, cool
stream run through them, and besides
there are two large springs one of
hot mineral water and the other ice
cold. It ia indeed an ideal summer re
sort in every sense of the word.
At the Cascade.
The strike of the stoae cutter is atill
on at the Cascade Lock, but the delay
ia not necessarily harmful for the prose
cution of work. There is enough stone
cut to more than half complete the
lock, and fifteen to twenty car are
being hauled in daily. A soon a the
water get below the bulkhead, which it
ia expected to do within ten day, pump
ing will commence, to exhaust the water
out of the canal. The pump ha already
been placed. A large force of men will
then be set to work laying rock for the
walla.

Onions for Coughs sod C'oMa.
Tiiere is no remedy that acts more
promptly on the Throat, Lungs and
Chest than Onion Syrup. It loosens
the phlegm enabling you to throw it on.
It relieves that tightness and oppressive
feeling in the Chest and all eorenen of
the Lungs. As a tonic and restorative
it has no equal. Dr. Guun'a Onion
Syrup is medicated in a manner so as to
be more etlectuul than the plain syrup
and not have any taste or odor of the
