To the Editor: A public park for The Dalles is something all should con sider and in thinking and talking of im provements of various kinds, let us not neglect to provide a breathing place for the population occupying the homes in our city. When this, our fair city, shall have grown to 20,000 and all these streets below the. bluff will have become busi ness blocks and warehouses, and 'that part of the city now an the hill will have been more compact, then the necessity for a public park will be so apparent that thousands of dollars will have to be expended in 'providing for the wants of the people. But why not now, when the land iB comparatively cheap, provide for this time that will surely come? and in providing for the generation to come, have the pleasure and enjoyment of the outlay ourselves, and then the thanks of the generations that shall come after ns, when we are gone. What a pleasant gathering place it would be in times of large conventions. Here open air meetings of all kinds might be held and the citizens gathered in the park could be entertained, by the music. Fourth of July celebrations could here be given with safety, which when all this land is covered with build ings, will not be permitted in the streets as now. Let The Dalles take warning by Eastern cities, who have failed to provide for this need of the people, and after years of privation have been com pelled to purchase land at immense cost to provide this necessity. If others have thoughts and sugges tions on this subject,' let us have them. - - A Citizen. ' SCRAMBLING FOB TICKETS. Scenes In Salt Lake the Opening ' Klght of the Circus. The Next Great Syndicate Shows and Paris Hippodrome, which exhibits in The Dalles, Saturday July 6, is beyond dqubt one of the very best as well as the largest traveling. In referring to the show.the Salt Lake News has the following to say : "The gigantic tent at Central Park could not contain half the number who sought admittance to the ''New Great Syndicate Shows last night, and' thou sands were turned away. The streets were packed with people. ' Not only were the sidewalks crowded, but even the roadway was almost impassable, and the street-cars had difficulty in forcing a passage. . "It did not look like hard times to see the struggling crowds scrambling for the ticket office, and when the bell finally rang up the entrance of the equestrian tournament, there was tier upon tier of spectators, with as many more satisfied with standing-room. The spectators . were magnificently enter tained from the beginning to the end of the programme. Everyone wore a broad grin for two hours, and then went home still smiling. Word From Mr. Sargent. The editor received a personal letter from his valued friend, Mr. I. N. Sar gent, now traveling ' in the East, which tells of the safe arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Sargent at their old home in Chester, Vt. An extract will not be out at place : "We arrived here on the 14th, and as the spirit moves, I write. I can better describe ray feelings by quoting an old Scotch ballad : . . 'As I dretr near ray ancient cot, Wh-re mineralH used to grow, No friend was there with open arms; Mo welcome face I saw.' "How I could wish that time in its flight might turn backward and make me young again just for one day. In the graveyard lie my father and brothers and numerous family relatives, and on all sides are the graves of friends and neighbors of fifty years ago. "We leave tomorrow for Boston, where our ancestors used to reside, to visit some of them, and the residences they occupied in 1635; then start towards Oregon, where we hope to live till the final change comes." Mr. Sargent may be But e of a hearty welcome when again in The Dalles, for he and bis estimable wife are well be loved in our midst. WEATHER BUREAU. Weather Crop Bulletin No 10 of the Oregon State Weather Hervlce Tor Eastern Oregon. Weather A few light sprinkles of rain-fall, nest enough to lay the dust, on the 15th and 16th. The temperature has been cool ; frosts have occurred ex cept in the immediate "Columbia river valley. South of this valley, extending eastward through eastern Idaho, frosts and ice occurred the morning of the !4th and 15lb. The foot bills and the Blue mountains had a coating of - snow the morning of the 15th. The max imun temperature for the week ranged from 64 to 84 deg. in the Columbia river valley, and from 50 to 74 ' edgt to the south ;'the minimun ranged from 45 to 52 deg. in the valley, and from 28 to 48 deg. to the south. This temperature of below the freezing point on Friday and Saturday night is one of the lowest on record for this season of the year. The winds have been from the north to west, and more brisk in force than is usual. Crops While the prospects for crops, hay, cereal and fruit, were never more promising in the western portion of the state, the reverse conditions prevail to the east of the Cascades. . The reports from the correspondents indicate a very poor outlook. Fall-sown or summer-fol lowed wheat is promising, and even un der the adverse condition of a dry cool period it will give average yield. Spring- sown grain may make hay in some sec tions, though it, like volunteer wheat, will hardly be worth the cutting for hay ; the present outlook is almost a failure of spring and volunteer grain. A corres pondent from Umatilla county writes: "It is sure that this county will not have one-half the number of bushels of wheat that "she produced last year." A I ' Highest of all in Leavening Power.r AOtrEILV PURE NUMBER 26. 1895 correspondent from Morrow county writes: "With a good rain within two weeks we will have a fair yield of fall sown summer-fallowed grain ; volunteer and spring-sown are gone entirely." Similar reports come from Gilliam, Sher man, .Wasco and Baker counties; in Union and Wallowa counties the con ditions are somewhat improved,, thongh in portions of the Grandtf Ronde valley thn prospects are not so encouraging as they might be. The correspondent at Cove, Union county,' reports: "Upon the whole, rather a discouraging ' out look." Plowing has been suspended, due to the ground being so dry, and a large amount of stubble ground remains un plowed. . The ' grasshoppers have done and are yet doing damage to vegetation in Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman and Was co counties; some farmers are cutting their bay before they otherwise would, do so, so as to prevent its being eaten by the grasshoppers. So that between the dry weather and the grasshoppers some, farmers are having a hard time of it,, and as one writes : "It begins to look like destitution." In the Columbia river valley, int Union and Wallowa counties, the fruit crop continues promising. ,; Straw berries are about over and cherries arc ripe. To the south of the Blue mount ains fruit and berries are not " promis ing; the frosts injured them, and the yield will be. light. The hay crop will be good in some locations, but will be poor in others. From Grant county a correspondent writes : . "Grain crops are no backward and the land so 'dry that unless we have copious rains within a short time they will be a failure. The hay meadows aro not going to turn off anything lfke the normal, crop.' Grass hoppers. I fear, are going to .clear the country; they have already destroyed gardens, and will most likely harvest oar second crop of alfalfa ; they took my second crop last year.' The stock is being driven"- to the mountains for their summer pasturage: the range grass U only fair, not is good as last year. " . . . ' . ' The climatic conditions are . such, at present, that no general or copious rains my be expected during the .next week, but warmer weather will, most likely prevail. Moderate temperature, with good rains, would yet materially im prove conditions throughout' Eastern Oregon. "''''''', !- Ascot Baces Marred.
