Wolf's bide house at the East J, and abstracted six otter, eighteen artin, three Sober, and four gray fox at, which are worth in the main at 120. Mr. Wolf thinks they were ra by Indians, bnt the more proba uonvlusion is that they were white ana or tramps. , enes were aa lively on Jokers' Row afternoon a in the famous Midway kiiance, and the contortions of the time fully as serpentine.

Adams and Donglas Dufur ac companied the assessor on his rounds this morning. They are making as equitable and just an assessment aa it is possible to do, and it is believed that while the assessment rolls will show a large increase in taxable property, the ratio will not lie nearly so high. The Union Pacific will make the fol lowing cuts on September 1st : Kvery officer and employe of the road receiv ing $70 or more per month is affected. The schedule for reductions, as quoted in the order Indued, was as follows: Salaries ranging from ft0 to 100 inclu sive, 10 per cent; over ( 100 to -'00, 12',' per cent; over $200 to $.VX), 15 per cent; over $."00, 20 per cent.

The public schools will not open Mon day on account of it being Labor day. St. Mary's Academy will open on Monday next for the admission oi pupils. It promises a proserpous year for their patrons. The thermometer indicated the tem perature to be high in the 90's this after noon. It is the hottest day of August, as well as the last and the shortest one. It is reported the wages of the section hands this side of Umatilla are to be re duced to $1.30 per day and on the other side to $1.40 per day Monday. Section foreman are reduced $10 per month. This is just about the starvation limit. The Veteran Volunteer Firemen of Portland have extended an invitation to all other volunteer organizations of fire men who wish to participate in the fire men's day celebration at The Dalles to meet with tliem at 5 p. in. Sunday and march in a body to the train. The vet erans have engaged a band and expect to turn out 80 or 90 men. Stevenson, Wssh., is the name of a new town on the north bank of the Col umbia, about a mile and a half above the Cascades. A contract has been let for ten new buildings and another for grading the streets. A bank will be a feature of the new city. The Pioneer announces its intention to publish its next issue there if it bas to set the type nnder a tall pine tree. A foolish escapade on the part of two young ladies of The Dalles is the talk of the streets today. As the parties are young, Inexperienced girls, and thoughtless to the danger point, public sentiment should lie strongly wielded to save them. The blighting, poisoued breath of f etip will only drive them to lower degradation, whereas kind thoughts and words and friendly aid will reetore them to their endangered womanhood.

Our (Xionly Superintendent Troy Shelley, is one ol a numerous party who are erjoying themselves at I.ot Lake. A. V. Underwood took his bicycle to Cloud Cup fun on the 2Mb of Ansrust, and found a good bicycle road all the way from that phice to Hood River. Cloud Cap Inn is a very picturesque summer resort, situated ns it is about 7,000 feet above sea level, and on the summit of a very high point juct facing KUiott glacier, which seems but a few steps away. A former resident of Chili, South America, who thinks of going into the fruit bnsiuees near The Dulles, took his camera with him to Mt. llood the other day, and, w bile at Cloud Cap Inn, took a fine picture of one of the Mt. Hood squirrels. W. A. Langllle and others will meet on the top of Mt. Hood some time in the latter part of September, for the purpose of organising an Alpine club. No one who has not climbed to the summit of some snow capped peak will be eligible to membership. Lewis II. Lain hereon of Portland, and Henrv Reese and W. A. Langille of Mt. Hood, started from Cload Cap Inn about half past five, and arrived at the top of Mt. Hood before noon on Friday, August 25th. Mr. Lambersou had hie kodak with him, and got several fine views. The distance from Hood River to ML Hood Is twenty-aevfn miles, and the road, which Is claimed to be far the best mountain road In Oregon, cost the builders, Ladd and Wood, many thous and dollars. The road ii wide and smooth, and there is not a stamp and hardly a rock in it. A Trs;4r Avrt4. Apropos of sham battles and their at tendant dangers, the Fossil Journal re lates an incident that has never before appeared in print; When the Third regiment, O. N. G. was encamped at The Dalles in July, 1891, a sham battle was a feature of the programme arranged to take place on the Fourth. It was to be the drawing card of The Dalles celebration, and was extensively advertised. But, fortun ately, it never came off, and those who knew all the circumstances felt sure that a tragedy was averted by the omis sion of this part of the programme. The encampment had been grossly misman aged, and the soldiers had received poor rations and treatment, in consequence there was a strong feeling of dissatisfac tion among the men towards some of the officers in command particularly toward Colonel Houghton, who soon af terward resigned. The men were anxious to break camp, and covert threats were heard in some quarters, to he executed in the event of the men be ing compelled to take part in the sham battle. These coming to the ears of the officers a consultation waa held. Gov ernor Pennoyer, the commander-in-chief, who happened to be in The Dalles at the time, was approached by . Colonel Houghton, who songht bis advice re garding the advisability of postponing the fight. Captain Gaffney of E com pany, of Fossil, one of the most capable officers in the O. N. G., was sent for and introduced to the governor, who asked bis opinion regarding the matter. The captain replied that as the men were very tired, and as it was reported that certain threats had been made, he thought it would be wisest and safest to let the battle go by the board. His ad vice was acted upon, and the wisdom contained in it was made apparent the following day when a company muaket, containing a ball cartridge, was found by the conductor on the train at Hood River. It had been carelessly left be hind by one of the soldiers. The cir cumstance was kept quiet, bnt it leaked out among the officers, and caused at once a thrill of terror and a feeling of intense thankfulness in the hearts of more than one w ho took part in the first and last encampment of the Third reg iment, O. K. G. "ftklpped" From Her Hoaae. Telegram. Richard Tregay, a Colorado mining man, arrived here from Denver Saturday in search of bis wife and little boy, who he says left their home about three weeks ago. He engaged the Pinkerton agency to work on the case, and yester day Mrs. Tregay was located in a small cottage on Overton street, between Six teenth and Seventeenth. She was re siding here with her little boy, her two sisters and a railroad man named Frank Peerman, with whom Tregay charges she "skipped" from Denver. Warrants were sworn out for the arrest of Mrs. Tregay and Peerman, charging them with adultery and also with larceny, Tregay alleging that before leaving Den ver they took about $650 of his money Both parties were arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Simmons, Hols apple and Griffin and locked op in the city Jail. Mrs. Tregay admits taking the $050 from her husband before leav ing Denver, which she stales was juet half the amount of mouev he had in the lion?. Both she and Peerman claim the lat ter was boarding with her, and that there w as nothing criminal in their re lations. Mrs. Treiisy eys she will have nothing more to do with her husband, and her husband savn he will have nothing more to do w itli Mrs. Treguy. A fr'ractlotja Individual. A drunken individual cund consider able trouble loilay. M.-irshal Malnney arrested him ationt 9 o'clock this morn ing, bnt he proved so untractubln that the set vices of Matt Schoren fnd Frnjjk Seeley were called, and the fellow was curried and driven iuto the city jail. In le s than an hour the recorder, hearing an unusual noise, hastened to the eel! and found a pretty tableau, fn one corner stood a young fellow incarcerated last right, pointing the small end of a broom at the fractious fellow, and old man Cottingham, who is serving 30 days, had a chair poised over his head in the act of striking him. Mr. Dufur yelled "stop" just in time to prevent the blow, which might have killed him. The recorder, then, assisted by Geo. Brown, took the unmanageable drunk into another cell and locked him up by himself, and the greatest harm be has since done is yelling at the top of bis voice. It ia singular what a fool an overdose of w hisky makes of a tuau, and still they call it fun. wallowed !'! a.

Luckily for the child, the older one are endowed with that old-fashioned common sense, now so scare in these days when dollar rustling is the chief aim and end of ex istence, and ad mistered as an antidote white of egg and flour and an emetic, and Dr. Esbelman, who was called, found little to do npon bis arrival. The child was vomiting, and at noon was getting along nicely. Meat la Cheap. A man asked the price ot a steak In a butcher shop Saturday and was told 15 cents per pound. He began a tirade about the high price of meats and ac cused the butcher ot raising prices nof withstanding tl.. hard times. When he got a chance to say a word, the butcher explained that meats of all kinds had never been so ch-tp in the history of Portland as at present. "That steak, you see, is a porterhouse. There are only a few pounds of it In an ox, and It will bring the highest price. Round steak, which used to sell for 12'a cents, now sells for 8 cents. Sirloin is 10 to 12'' cents. Cnck steak used to sell for 8 and 10 cents and now it is 6 cents. Boiling beef used to be 8 cents; it now sells from 5 to 8 cents. Corned beel is reduced from 8 cents to 5 cents, and all other kinds of meats have reduced ac cordingly. But if a man wants the the choicest cut in the ox he must pay the highest price." The misery of the thing is that in this country everybody wants the choice cuts. Oregonian. The rralt Sltuatloa. From the following private letter re ceived from S. A. Clarke, we are per mitted to publish the following : "We bad bad luck with peach plums, as California sent an avalanche of such fruit as ours, and prices are way down. But California has no more plums or Bartlelt pears, save on mountain loca tions. We have the field to ourselves for late plums and also Bartlett pears, which sold east yesterday, by car lots, at $1.75 to $2.3C, a good advance. Plums also advanced. The eastern peach crop has held prices dovn, but Delaware is played out. Most of her crop was shipped and sold, and the rest "went to grass" with the cyclone that raged lost week. So it seems we have a good field for late plums, and Bartletts and other fall pears. I shipped 1,000 crates of peach plums, and only will get back freight and cost of packing. Nothing for the fruit, but I was bound to "stay with" the friends who are shipping with me." Boneoed. Wednesday about noon Mr. John H. Wallace, who lives a few miles south east of Albany, was sitting in the lobby of the Revere House, when a pleasant appearing stranger engaged him in con versation and finally telling bim that be was in town with some leisure time on his bands, asked bim to take a ride to the circus grounds. The stranger had a nice buggy and they rode out there, when the stranger met his "father," an elderly gentleman, who had "just come in from the country to tee the circus." A circusman then came up and invited them all in to see the animals. This was all very nice, and soon they passed into a small tent where there was a man who said "just to advertise the show" he was giving away money on the turn of a card. The stranger drew a card just for fun and drew $5, which was paid to him. Mr. Wallace was invited to draw one which he was assured jvas perfectly free. He did so, and so did the stranger. Both drew a pregent of $250, but the sharper said they must both exhibit to him $250 each "merely as an evidence of good faith." The etranger and his "father" dug np the amount and they tried to induce Mr. Wallace to do tlio same, but he has read the papers and was already" look ing for the tin box "needed to complete the arrangements. Ho told the trio he had enjoyed the ride very much, also the visit to Ihe menagerie, but would just leave the $200 to bin credit in their hands, and would call and get it sonic other d:iy when he had more lime. The sharpers looked very crestfallen when be bade them a pleasant "good day." Albany Herald. Mott'e llouafl Itururd. The house of A. B. Mott, on Pleasant Ridge, was burned yesterday with all its contents about 3 o'clock In the ufter noon. Sirs. Mott and daughter were outside cutting fruit when the blazo wan first noticed, but they were too htte to either check the flames or save anything inside. The cause of the conflagration is not known, but at the time there was a hot fire In the kitchen stove, as they were baking. J. K.

Weather The weather during the pant week was dry, clear and warm, with light to fresh, northwest to north east winds. The mean temperature ranged from 60 to 68 degrees. The sun shine Increased to above the average, and there were no cloudy mornings. The smoke from forest fires became more dense in the Willamette valley and in the southern counties. Crops Harvesting and threshing of fall wheat is complete in many sections. Late sown grain is being cut. The straw is short, but the heads appear to be well filled. Some spring wheat in the Willamette valley has been threshed with favorable results, yielding beyond expectations. The yield in the coast and southern counties of the state aver age about 20 bnehels per acre, which is below the average. In other sections of Western Oregon the averago yield is reached. An average crop of oats will be secured in most sections. Some, being sown late, failed to mature and is being cut for hay. More oats have been cut fur hay in Clackamas county than in tny other sections. The potato crop requires rain to make an average yield. The crop has suffered most in southern counties. It is believed a good rain would mature a large crop in northern counties. Vegetables are plentiful for home consumption. The dry spell failed to injure vegetables growing in low ground ; in dry elevated places the drought caused them to fire and burn. Champion prunes are ripe and are being shipped to eastern markets. The musk melon crop will not be a success. More favorable reports have been received from Jackson county concerning the corn crop than from other counties. Under the influence of the warm, sunny weather fruit is maturing rapidly. There will be an .abundance of plums, pears and prunes generally over the state, and in interior counties the apple crop is large. Apples continue to fall in northern counties, principally due to the injurious work of the codlin moth. The apple crop, as a rule, is not up to the average. Postures are failing, and stock are not looking well. In the coast counties butter making has received a check owing to. failing pastures. Re gardless of unfavorable influences the bop crop promises to mature well. It is estimated that they will be ready to be picked about September 4th. The damages of hop lice have been unim portant. There is also a noticeable ab sence of mould. The burrs are thickly set. Light frost, which injured tender plants and vines, occurred on August 25th in sections of the interior counties. EASTERN OREGON. Weather It was slightly warmer last week; the mean temperature ranged from 64 to 72 degrees. No rain occurred, though it is much needed. The sun shine was the average. Crops Harvesting and threshing of fall wheat is nearly over. Early sown spring wheat begins to ripen. - Much spring w heat and oats are green. The second crop of alfalfa is being cut. Hay ing will continue nearly two weeks longer. Some wheat will be shriveled and some will be burnt; but generally the grain is plump and of superior qual ity. Prunes, pears and plums are plen tiful and of Al quality. Stock on the range are in good condition. Stock buy ers are securing beef cattle for the mar kets. Water in the streams is getting low, and there is not sufficient water for irrigation purposes. Vegetable, need rain badly. FIREMEN'S TOURNAME.NT. 1'riiKiailt titr Two lit)a.
