trifle high for the concession. The

does not want to buy a distillery and
stock it for someone else. This informs- j
tion was conveyed in more diplomsticj
language to the company. j

I The following is the report of the
Oregon 8tate Weather Service for the
weekending Monday, Aug. 13th. lt4:
Normal temiieratnre conditions pre
vailed during the week. The precipita
tion was below the normal, except in
Baker county, where some Ivnelicial
showers occurred. The siinnliine was
ponsibly below the average.
The yields of fall grain are very aatis
factory. At Kndersbr, in Wasco
county, a correspondent states the crop
is the largest for years. Many large
yields are reported from the Walla
Walla valley. In some sections of
Wasco county some grain is veported as
shriveled, consequently not first-class;
but the Wry, as a rule, is plump. The
grain crop generally is w hat farmers ex
pected, and the damage by the grain
aphis is slight and confined to localities.
The barley crop is accordingly good.
Our correspondent from Heppner, Mor
row county, states that there will be an
abundant crop of wheat and barley.
Harvesting is being advanced ; the head
ers are running early and late. There
appears to be some kind of sickness
among the horses, from which several
died at Ella, Morow county. Stock is
in good condition, and there is a good
sale for beef cattle.
In the interior and eastern counties
the fall wheat and barley crops are be
ing harvested and some early sown
spring grain is ripe enough to cut.
Grain ripened slowly, and as a conse
quence the berry is plump. No thresh
ing has yet been done. A correspond
ent from Crook county states that the
harvest will be the largest in the his
tory of the county ; but the grain aphis
is on all kinds of grain. Haying is well
advanced. The crop will be short in
Grant county. Tbe crop of alfalfa will
bo an average in all sections. The po
tato crop is unusually promising. All
kinds of stock are in fine condition, and
are being sold at fair prices.
A Ncalertad n-rKat ! la Tha Halloa.
Upon the streets of our city Luay be
seen nearly every evening, a large con
gregation of quiet and attentive listeners
including people from the surrounding
country, as well as residents here, many
of whom evidently seldom, if ever,
attend divine service in any regularly
appointed place of worship. Here along ,
tbe streets of our city, tbe enemy has
chosen bis ground and massed bis forces.
Into the sinks of iniquity in The Dalles
(and there are not a few of them) the
young of our city, and many others, are
being constantly drawn to destruction.
Brethren, let us stand in the breach.
Does not your commission read "into
the highways?" And do we not need and
shall we not have the Gatling guns aud
great (ordnance as well as blowing of
bugle, marching and rattling of a few
musketry?
On our way to our beautiful temples of
worship, where so many empty pews
await us, in this our Jerusalem, suppose
we stop jut long enough on the street
to pour in a volley into the enemy's j
rank. On our way tip to the temple to
worship Almighty God, let u stop juBt
long enough, at least, to pour a little of
our abundance of the oil of the Gospel
into the wounds of our fallen brethren.
Don't let's "pane by" any longer "on the
other side." Will our reputation, dig
nity or piety suffer irreparable loss by so
doing? How else can w e save men but
by personal contact with them every
where? If our "clean hands" or linen
get a little soiled the fountain is open
you know.
A good part of the past year I have re
sided in this city and been a regular
attendant upon divine service; and dur
ing tbe brief time the Salvation Army
have labored here I kave seen more
people seeking for pardon of sin and the
gift of the Holy Spirit, than in all the
rest of the time. Then help the good
WOrk. JaSOM li. GOHH4M.

Kodwrtlow la Wage"
The O. R. & Co. bat iesued the fol
lowing circular to its employes:
"This company has been wholly un
able to meet its operating expenses dur
ing tbe months preceding the rent
flood although the strictost economy has
been followed. The interruption of
traffic and tbe damages by the recent
flood have caused us extraordinary loss
es, and tbe business outlook is most de
pressing by the reason of the general low
prices prevailing, and the general stagna
tion of business everywhere. All these
causes make a reduction of operating ex
penses absolutely necessary, and it has
lieeu decided to reduce wages as follows:
'On all employes drawing over 100
per month, 12,'i per cent.
"On all employes drawing over $50, to
aud including flOO per month, 10 per
cent.
"The reduction takes effect August 13.
It is very unpleasant to reduce wages,
but the necessity existing at the present
time must be met, and employes should
cheerfully accept their portion of the
burden resting on the company. On the
other hand, the company should and
will advunce wages when improved con
ditions permit it. J. I. O'Bkiks,
Superintendent.
A Julia r More Than Law.
Mr. J. I. Melnerny returned from
Clatsop Saturday. He tells us Judge
Bradshaw ia as happy as the proverbial
clam, has gone to the seaside for a good
time and is having it. From other
sources we learn that the judge is the
sea lion of the beach. That when he
doff his judicial ermine and every-day
garment, and comes out in a suit
! decollete at both ends, every oilice holder
i take oil' hi hat, thinking it i Grover
j liiine'f. And when with airy tread hi
1 m l.li-!.ke lot ni undulate down over the
: golden mii.l to tho briny deep the
! patient clam exhausts his fire extin-
guiiher and hunts bedrock. And when
againtt the heavii.g bosom of the grand
Pacific he pushes his own broad breast,
the resultant tidal wave start all the
disciples of Falb for high ground. Be
sides, there isn't on the w hole coaot a
mind better stored with knowledge of
the sea-girt clam than he. From roust
ing him out of bed with a stick, to open
ing his pearly mouth and preparing him
for subsequent deglutition, the judge is
anexpeit. He knows to the fraction of
a hair how much seasoning he requires,
and to tbe fragment of a second bow
long to cook him. He knows how to
eat blm too, and in consequence has
gained something less than fifty pounds
in weight since he reached the shore.
The judge will return in about three
weeks or a month, and the clams will
bold high car.-ival at high tide to cele
brate his absence.

Tbe work on the irrigating ditch is

Our part of the world is on the boom

Tho City ronnrll.
The city council met last night but
transacted but little business. The city
recorder left for a week's outing early
this morning and as hs takes bis minutes
in shorthand and had not written them
up it is impossible to give them in de
tail. Aiuoui; other things that were done,
however, was the election of a street
commissioner. The first ballot resulted
as follows: Maddron 2, blank 1, Butts
3. The second Maddron 1, blank 1,
Klein 1, Butts a. T:e third Maddron
1, blank 1, Batt 4, and Mr. Butts was
declared elected.
A petition was presented from the I.
O. G. T. concerning tbe liquor business.
On motion the city marshal was in
structed to enforce city ordinance 273.
This is the ordinance concerning saloons
requiring that they be closed Sundays,
that do minors be allowed in them and
that no gambling be permitted. There
are no doubt some other things hidden
in the hen tracks of tbe city recorder's
notes but after examining tbetu we con
cluded that only a very lo order of in
telligence was capable of using such
hieroglyphics for the purpose of convey
ing thought and so left them until the
recorder returns. They were too measly
low down for us.

Coxey, the distinguished guest of the
city, who is serving out sentence of
fifty-five days for breaking tbe windows
In tbe Umatilla House, has been work
ing steadily since his incarceration, and
had succeeded in gaining the confidence
of bin watcher!'. For nearly a month he
has been a trusty, and has behaved in
an exemplary maimer. I.att night,
however, he fell from grace, for some
how he managed to get a jog of beer
aboard, and in the night he took his
boots and smashed all the windows in
the city jail he could reach. He will
have a chance to serve out another fifty
day sentence.
V An Nut Afraid.
According to I'rofeor Fait, there is
to be an upheaval of the bottom of the
I'acific some time between (he 17th and
30th of this month. The result will be
a tidal wave sixty feet high. Some of
our Portland contemporaries are estimat
ing tbe damage that would be done in
Portland. A a matter of fact, should
a tidal wave of the height named enter
the Columbia, it would never be felt In
Portland, as it would soon spread out
and exhaust itself. We need not lose
any sleep ou account of the prediction,
as The Dalles is not afraid of any flood
since Ha recent experience.

Vaco New.
On last Saturday evening, while work
ing in the beading crew of G. W. Brock
and J. I. Miller of Monkland, Jake
Brock, brother to V. C. Brock of Wasco,
was seriously cut in tbe left eye by one
A. Morris. Tbe particulars have been
learned as follows : Jake was relating
an incident to Mr. Miller, when W. L.
Wilson, a brother-in-law of Morris, dis
puted the truth of his statement. This
caused hasty words from both parties,
but after a few minutes the boys stopped
talking and went about their work.
About an hour and a half after this,
while the header and both wagons were
near to the stack, Mr. Morris, who had
all this time been riding with Wilson
and working in his wagon, jumped out
on the ground, took up Wilson's side of
tbe dispute, and with abusive names
informed Jake that be "had it in for
him." Jake aked Morris what he
meant by his conduct, and he again be
gan his abuse and tried to thrust a
pitchfork into him. Jake refused to
fight him in that manner, and Morris
demanded a fight with fists. This was
consented to and Jake tied up his lines
and proceeded to climb out ot tbe back
end of the wagon. Morris was behind
the wagon waiting and when Jake
touched the ground and turned toward
him, Morris sprang forward and struck
him in the face w ith a knife, burying it
to tbe hilt in tbe socket of Jake's eye.
The men interferred before another blow
could be strujk. Morris skipped out,
but was overhauled at the John Day by
Deputy Sheriff McCoy and landed in
the county jail. He waived examina
tion and was held in $300 bonds, in de
fault of which he is still in jail.
Jake is in a critical condition, will
lose his eye and be badly disfigured for
life if he recovers. He has been re
moved to the residence of V. C. Brock
in this city, and is doing nicely.
Fell from the Train.
A tramp fell from tbe east bound pas
senger last night near the niesshouse,
while the train was running at a 25-mile-an-bour
rate. The section men
were notified and went out on a hand
car to bring him in. He was found
lying beside the track with one of bis
legs broken, and brought in this morn
ing. He was a profane fellow and those
who brought biui in speac in the highest
terms of bis expertness in that line.
Dr. Logan reduced the fracture. The
man's name, we learn from him Is
Byars, He claims to be railroad man,
having worked last for the Northern
Pacific. Says he boarded at the Port
land hotel, and that he had a ticket and
was a passenger on the train. He ex
plains the accident by saying he was
showing another man how he could
climb on top of the cars, when a sudden
lurch of the train caused him to lose his
hold.
A I'ltlfnl '.
County Judge Blakeley and Dr. I.ogan
this morning examined Mrs. Clara Neely
as to her sanity. This is the lady men
tioned hy us yesterday, our Informnnt
getting the name wrong on account of
Mr. Wisbart and his wife bringing the
unfortunate woman to Hood River from
her home. She will be sent to the
asylum tomorrow, and it is exiected
that a speedy recovery will result. Her
husband is working somewhere in the
harvest fields east of here, and had left
his wife with his parents. He had also
made arrangements for her to get such
groceries as she needed from the store of
Oscar Fredenburg, but these it seems
from the statement of witnesses, her
father-in-law refused to let her purchase.
She has had nothing to eat but bread
and water for the past month and is ex
tremely weak aud emaciated. Her baby
is in consequence also starved and no

larger than when born. It was pitiful to
see her try to nurje her baby as she sat
in the court room, pressing it with her
skeleton hauds against her arid breast.
There is no excuse for this state of
affairs. The people of Hood River are
large hearted and generous, and would
have provided for her had they known,
hut being in the woods away from every
body but her husband's people, they
did not know of her condition. Tbe
blame lies with those, who if they failed
to recognize the ties of relationship,
should have remembered that they wer '
human, and she a mother.
Her insanity is of a mild type, though
she is suicidal in her ideas. Her father
is in the asylum, and perhaps brooding
over that, and the fear that the taint
might be in her, together with lack of
nourishment, and ill treatment, un
balanced her mind.
