Wheat is commencing to lie shipped to 1'ortland In greater quantities. Large purchases have been made that will go by boat, while one lot of HO.IMH) bushels will soon lie at I.yle ready to lie taken down.

Capt. John O'P.rien, the well known printer of Portland, is the man Hger of the company. There was a fight of one round at the fair grounds yesterday. One inebriated gentleman addressed some remarks de rogatory to the character of another, who properly knocked him down in true Corliettesiue manner. That was all of the fighting ; the rest of the affray con sisted in a mutual discussion of each one's ability to vanquish the other. The bank of J. H. Rinehart and son of Sumiiierville, has wound op its affairs, balanced the books and gone out of bus iness. Their action is purely voluntary and is done because their extensive mill ing 0Mrations require their entire atten tion. The dispositors will be paid in full. The late Dr. Rinehart, of this city, was one of the directors and stockhold ers in the bank. A sidewalk is being built west from the Cosmopolitan hotel, to take the place of the one washed away by the flood. Almost all the disturbance made by the June waters has lieen removed, and now a stranger visiting the town could hardly conceive what a scene of desolation wbh everywhere when the waters receded from our streets. The tilut'k of our citizens bus often been put to a severe test and has always con quered, but it must have lieen trying to the best of grit to face such a mess as the June sun looked down upon. Krlilny'i limiy. Hon. and Mrs. F. P. Mays and family came up iroui Portland on the local to day to visit the fair. The ladies will continue to serve meals tomorrow.

The program will consist of an apron and pencil entertainment. The streets present quite a lively ap pearance today, caused by the unusu ally lare number of people from the country, who have found time to come in to the fair. The schools being closed today, the children are having a fine time. The fair mantigemeut generously made the admission for the youngsters free, and the "speciul rate" is being tukeu ad vantage of by all of them.

They report the threshing as about completed. Albert Leslie, the seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Smith of Grass Valley, was killed Wednesday, the 3d inst, by being throw n from a w agon load of wood, the wheels passing over his head. The team of four horses wus run ning away. It is quite certain that an attempt will lie made to form a new county of por tions of Crook and Grant, with the county seat at Mitchell. A 'new county would prove convenient to the people, who are now forced to travel a long dis tance to the couuty seat ; but w hether there is population or wealth enough in the district to maintain a county gov ernment, we are unable to say. Train Wnrk Alio?, Heuforts. No. 1, the west bound passenger, met with an accident four miles east of here this morning, which resulted in a small sized wreck. The train was coming at its usual rate w hen suddenly the engine and baggage car left the track and went In the ditch. The trouble resulted from the rails spreading. Engineer Morgan was slightly cut on the head and back, Fireman Crofton bad one of bis ribs broken and a tramp, who was riding on the blind baggage, suffered a broken arm and dislocated shoulder. The passengers were transferred to a train that was made tip here and after breakfast left for Portland. It will only take a few hours to repair the damage done to the track. Drs.

Promptly at noon today a happy wed i ding took place at the residence of Hon. John Marden, in this city. In the pres ence only of the Immediate relatives Rev. W. C. Curtis pronounced the words which bound Martin Donnell and Grace Marden together in the holy bonds of marriage. Many were the congrat ulations and heartfelt good wishes that were poured in upon the happy pair. Pith the young gentleman and young lady are so well know n and res pected by those with whom their lives have been spent that this event has caused more than ordinary interest. Their youth from babyhood to a vigor ous manhood and a lovely womanly character, have lieen spent in The Dalles and as from out our midst these two voyagers have gone to sail on the sea of life the blessings of all their friends follow them. Martin Donnell was born and raised in The Dalles and has only recently moved to the neighboring town of Goldendale. He has earned in this community a rep utation for honor and integrity that will be to him an augur of good future. He is every inch a man and carries w ith him the respect and admiration of a host of friends. II is father, the late Hon. Z. M.

DiedThursday, Oct. 28, Edward Crate, aged 86. Mr. Crate bad been, for a man of his great age, in ordinary health, but after riding to town, complained a little and lay dow n. Dr. Hollister was sent for, but before his arrival the great reliever came and for this aged man all earthly troubles were over. When the first ees that ever looked upon this part of our fair land with the hope of making here a home are closed by death, it is fitting that we who have entered into the labors of those w ho came so long before us, should give moiethau a passing thought to him who has gone. Mr. Crate was born in Sorelle, Canada, but brought up in Montreal. In 18:10 he took service with the Hudson Pay Co. This was to all Canadian youths who loved adventure the only outlet that gave promise of what could gratify their craving for ro mance and hair breadth escapes by flood and field. His first trip from Fort Nel son to Vancouver as a voyager was made in 1830. He traversed this long path many times, taking as many months (or the trip as the Canadian Pacific which goes over much of the same route, now requires days. Mr. Crate married in Canada and brought his family here, settling on what will always be known as Crate's point. He hesitated between that and the site now occupied by our town; but looking at both with an eye (if a bateaux man, thought he saw in the lower site a better chance to have his boats in good winter harbor. His lioats were employed in bringing the early im migrations down the Columbia. He went, as a volunteer, (or the defense o( the settlers, and he it was who brought down in bis boats from old Fort Walla Walla, now Wallula, those who were rescued from the savage cruelty of the Whitman massacre the Spaldings and others. Mr. Crate was the father of fourteen children, the most of w hom are residing In this vicinity. Noilir Musings. II. A. Power has been absent part of time this week, making quite a visible subtraction (rom the elite of this neigh borhood. On 'Monday J. II. Mosier was laid to rest with Masonic rites, and the follow ing day a grandson of Mr. Ireland. Thus this small community was called to mourn in so brief a time. The cir cumstances of the death of the child are particularly touching, the child's mother being dead and his father an inmate of the asylum. Key. Stark preached the funeral discourse. Kev. W. C. Curtis assisted at the obsequies of J. H. Mosier. E. II. Collis, Corbett, Failing & Rob ertson, Portland, and W. S. Love, senior partner of Love 4 Bushong, Port land, passed through several days ago. They are.footing it home, having come in like manner np the Willamette to the Three Sisters, thence across to Prine ville, The Dalles and home. They stopped one night with Kiehrua, on the reservation. A bicyclist came through the early part of the week bound for Omaha, which he expected to make in two or three days. He is a German, of two years' residence in America, and when told Omaha was something like 2000 miles away, seemed incredulous. He will die??ver that the United States is something of a colony, before the gets to his journey's end, particularly when the frigid blasts that hover over the summit of the Rockies play bide and seek through bis whiskers, and the blizzards of Wyoming and Nebraska fix np (or w inter housekeeping. E. U. Phillips was arrested Thursday and had bis preliminary examination before Justice Harlan, for assaulting W. E. Husky with a deadly weapon, such being a rock hurled with force at his head. Husky warded off the blow with bis arm, sustaining severe bruises. This makes five complaints against Phillips within a month if the returns are all in. The first and second were by John D. Hogan and Matthew Duty lor wages, the third a land contest, fourth cutting wood on government land and the fifth as stated. The wheel in Phillips' head is that be believes himself to be superior to tfie neighborhood, intellectually and morally, in which he lives, which has proven to be a prolific cause of trouble. He was bound over under $-500 bonds, which were furnished by his wife, KHie Mosier Phillips. Reqclak. lufur Iolnxs. Cool nights, with clear, warm days, is the program for October. Farmers are busy hauling grain and doing general fail w ork. The other day a large band o( bee( cattle, belonging to Robert Mays o( Tygh Valley, were driven through, en route (or The Dalles. They were in fine condition, and will average 1100 or 1200 pounds. Saturday night a harvest ball was given, at which quite a number of young people trod the mazy. The Dufur baseball nine have chal lenged Tygh, and will play one week (rom Sunday. We sigh for Tygh. Born, Oct. 7, 1894, to the wife of M. J. Anderson, a son. Mr. E. L. Craft of Nansene was in town Wednesday on business. J. B. McAtee of Tygh spent a couple of days in our berg. Mrs. E. C. Warren returned from an extended visit to Portland and Salem. Mr. J.

The grand lodge, Knights o( Pythias, which met at Portland Tuesday, ad journed yesterdey afternoon after a very pleasant and harmonious session. The grand ball, given at the Hotel Portland in honor of the event, was attended by more than 500 couples, and was one of the finest affairs of the kind ever given in the metropolis. The parade Wednes day evening w as another feature of the meeting, when the grand lodge, pre ceded by the Portland members of the uniform rrnk, and followed by the mem bers of the order to the number of a thousand, marched through the princi ple streets for something over an hour. TLe line of march was lit up by colored lights, and the sidewalks were lined with an immense throng, consisting of almost the entire population of the city. Portland extended a royal welcome to the Knights, and it is safe to say that they all went home with a very warm corner in their hearts for the queen city. The following officers were elected: Grand chancellor, J. L. Hill of Albany; grand vice-chancellor, Dr. E. V. Geary of Meiford ; grand prelate, Turner Oli ver of La Grande; grand keeper of record and seal, G. F. McConnell of Portland; grand master-at-arms, Otis Patterson of Heppner; grand inside guard, R. H. Greer of Hillsboro ; grand outside guard, Charles Fellows ; trust ees, F. A. Golden one year, E. E. .Sharon two years, J. A. Waddle three years. The convocation in October, 1S93, will be at Salem. In looking at the public school report, which was published yesterday, a curious lact is noted in the number of school children now in attendance as compared with the number when the railroad shops were here. There are some persons who thick The Dalles has not grown much in late years but there are enrolled now in our city schools 207 more pupils than there were in 1890, when the shops were here. We don't deny that the removal of the shops did The Dalles great damage. That is cer tainly true and we heartily wish them here again but iu spite of the drawback The Dalles has gone ahead and is prog ressing in a way that marks it as one of the substantial cities in the great North west. Wheat continues to pour in notwith standing the low price. The roads lead ing to town from all directions are cov ered with wagons heavily loaded. The terry boat plies continually, carrying teams from Klickitat county. It is an interesting sight to see The Dalles at tracting products from a wide radius of territory. The price is higher here than any where else in the surrounding coun try, and with a little lizing of the roads the city is capable of easy approach. One of the greatest magnets in attracting the wheat crop here is the large flouring mill in the East End. The building of this mill has proved of great benefit in holding to The Dalles the trade of the interior Corbett and Fitzsimmons are finally matched to tight for $10,000 a side. They met yesterday in New York, and after having a fight to the finish with their jaws, which was declared a draw, they agreed to tight some time after July 1, 1895. Several clubs were rep resented at the meeting, and as soon as the match was arranged, bids were made for it by them. Joe Veudig, on behalf of the Florida Athletic Club, offered a purse of $41,000, and so the fight w ill take place in Jacksonville. When cattarrh attacks a person of scrofulous diathesis, the disease is almost sure to become chronic. The ouly efficacious cure, therefore, is Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which expels scrofula from the system and the catarrh soon follows suit. Ijcal treatment is only a waste o( time.
