A. Johnson of Buffalo, New York. Mr.
Williams gave W. H. Wilson, attorney
for Mr. Johnson, a cheek for $6249.84,
which covered the original amount and
interest since the data of. sale. It is
probable the Wilson place, which was

The excursion party , which went to
Bonneville Saturday, returned last
night satisfied with having thoroughly
enjoyed their jaunt. The young people
were royally entertained and the hours
of their stay passed all too quickly. It
is said the young gentlemen who went
along in the capacity of cbaperoaes,
were the victims of several practical
jokes which considerably disturbed their
equanimity but they all came back
smiling. .
Haryesting is now in full blast in all
the wheat producing sections of Wasco,

belongs to T. H. Tongue of Hillsboro,
but has been for a season at Goldendale.
Mr. Tongue was offered for this horse
$15,000 a few years ago, but refused the
offer. One thousand dollars wonld prob
ably buy the horse now.. Young Planter,
another horse with a pedigree, went
down on the boat also.
The Begulator was inspected yester
day by .Messrs. Frank McDermott and
E. S. Edwards, government inspectors,
The hull and boiler -were found in first
class condition and the other parts of
the boat were satisfactory to the in
spectors. The Begulatorofficials had no
knowledge that the inspectors were com
ing and bad made no special preparations
for the examination; Mr. Edwards and
Mr. McDermott have just returned from
Snake river, where they made inspec
tions of several boats.
It is time to agitate the question of
sending a hose team to the tournament
at Vancouver. The Dalles proved last
4th of July that it has abundant mate-
rial from which to choose a good team
and one that with proper drill can carry
off first . honors. Oaly a little over a
month intervenes between now and the
dav of the tournament, which will be
held the first week of September.. Let
our Firemen, take the initiative and the
citizens will give all necessary assist
ance.
Beat
estate agents complain of the
scarcity of dwelling houses. Demands
are coming in every day more than can
be filled and this if vacation time when
agreat many people are out of town.
When school begins in the fall and the
usual number of families move in from
the country to give the children a chance
for schooling, there will -be serious
difficulty to obtain shelter. . The popu-
lation of The Dalles is increasing rteadiV
and at a more rapid rate than - most
people imagine. Some neat little cot
tages, If they -were built, would find
speedy rental for a fair return.

to be replaced. '
A contest was heard yesterday in the
land office in the case of John C. Tucker
vs. O. H. Davenport. There was no de
fense made so the matter will probably
go by default. The land claimed is the

The water has .fallen sufficiently to
allow work being commenced on the
Begulator wharf, which was damaged by
the . river rising. The pile driver has
been put in readiness and the dock will
be made stronger than ever. Considera-.
ble planking was raised by the water
and is now afloat. The damage will not
be great.
A party of Portland gentlemen, con
sisting of B. B. Lampson, J. W. Marsh
F. E. Lloyd, Geo. F. Lyman and Geo. F.
Grant, reached The Dalles this morning
on their return from Mt. Hood. They
have been enjoying an outing in the
mountains and have the inevitable pack
horses and all necessary equippage,
They report having had a bard, but
thoroughly enjoyable trip.
The number of people at the different
seaside resorts is said not to be as great
this year as usual. Th attractions of
the mountains have allured many Port
land people who generally are found at
the ocean shore. The Mazamas have
stimulated an interest in mountains and
mountain climbing and many people
spent their vacation at Mt. Adams and
Mt. Hood. The Dalles has sent its nsual
delegations to all the seaside resorts Jind
wooded camps.
The Independent workers of the I. O.
G. T. held their quarterly election last
evening and the following officers were

evening and though . not many were
present it was a pleasant meeting.
The new residences of J. M. Hunting
ton and E. F. Sharp are nearly com.
pleted and will seon be ready for occu
pancy. They are both handsome in de
sign and will go a long way in adding to
the good looks of The Dalles. The traces
ot tne great are are being wiped out ana
11 won't be but a few years till the
vacant spots will be covered with new
buildings. With some exceptions, like
the Vogt block and a few other buildings
and residences, which were destroyed,
the new structures will be hotter than
the old.
A large excursion from Eastern Oregon
is coming to visit the Cascade .Lock.
The date has not yet been announced
Every county in the eastern part of the
state will send a delegation and the ar
rangements are made for a mammoth
affair. The railroad will make reduc
tions in rates and the boat company will
probably run an excursion.. The people
east of us are beginning to realize what a
stupendous undertaking the building of
the locks really is and have a desire to
visit it. This excursion will help the
celebration idea and it is none too early
to begin talking. The Dalles must show
that it can be grateful for benefits re
ceived and give a demonstration that
future years will remember and coming'
generations tell.' .

Mr. HoiMrLwUru on Novels,.
A small but select audience filled the
Christian church last night to hears
lecture on "Novels and Novel Beading"
by 'Bev. H. E. Monser. The speaker
made a bright opening and easily had
the) audience in sympathy with the lec
turer and his theme. In continuing his
address, Mr. Monser said it was esti
mated there were now issued an average
of five novels a day in the' English lan
guage. The novel, wtich can be called
a picture of human life, is divided into
the realistic and idealistic and of these
divisions the idealistic is much the
better for people to read.
He then showed the different kinds of
readers and compared them to the bee
nuu ujr. xuc uw Cbtlijg fiuucj wucr

so readers pet poison or honev. amorrl.
ing to their natures, from the novels
and geography should go along 'with
novel reading. . The -society novel, Mr,
Monser declared, was demoralizing iq
its effects, and in its pages human life
was misrepresented. -. Children ' should
begin by reading Fairy Tales, books like
Little Lord Fauntlerby and other similar
works. They should be taught to read
correctly and get all the good out of the
story. The good novel, what is called
tne standard, was tne outcome of some
of the greatest minds the world ' has
known. All well educated persons must
read novels to be well informed. In
closing, the lecturer gave the following
list of novels which he considered the
very best. These, be declared, were
classic and no one should attain any
great number of years, without being
acquainted with the works. " David
Copperfield, Ivauhoe, Scarlet- Letter,
Uncle Tom's Cabin, Ben Hur, Adam
Bede, John Halifax, Last Days of
Pompeii, Little Lord Fanntleroy and
Vanity Fair
The speaker was as fluent and elo
quent as in the previous lecturer and
those who attended were pleased and in
structed. The only regret is that the
house was not better filled. '

Yesterday morning and evening the
Methodist and Congregational churches
joined in worshipping in the Congrega
tional cnurcnv Crood audiences were
present both, morning and evening and
listened to able sermons by .the pastor,
Bev. W. C. Curtis. The moraine text
was from Isaiah, "Hearken Ye That
Seek the Lord.'' The bible in many
places calls to hearken and consider and
this was a particular class called '.upon
to listen. In speaking of blessings in
disguise, Mr. Curtis used the illustra
tion of a man confined in a dungeon
into which came only a few rays of light
through a small crevice. This was his
only comfort. One day, hearing work
men as if repairing the wall and shut
ting out the ray of light, he cried out
"Spare my crevice,"' but it-was men
come'to open the prison and let in the
full light of day. The application was
made to people who. often are affrighted
and fear they shall'lose their small
light and with it everything, when the
threatened change is only to let in a
greater and richer blessing. The ser
mon was an able one and listened to ap
preciatively by the audience.
The text for the evening was from
Matt, ix : 21, "For she said if I may but
touch bis garment, I shall be whole,
Christ is the one that the world to reach
for if it would be healed from sin.
Every garment of Christ connects with
him and in drawing near to the Savior
a kind word, a good deed, even a smile,
a song, the word of a friend might be
the garment that would lead to Christ.
He then cautioned his hearers that be
ing in a crowd would not touch Christ,
There must be a reaching out after him,
Une of the features of the evening
service- was the bass solo by Mr. Eugene
C. Price. Mr. Price's voice is well
known to the people of The' DaUea, and
his singing last night showed it had lost
none of its richness of former years.
- One en Conductor Mitchell. .
Conductor Mitchell met with a mishap
last night, which since it did not turn
out seriously, will be a cause ot much
joking among his friends. . When the
east bound passenger polled into Cas
cades last night it was. found the con
ductor was not aboard and considerable
excitement prevailed nntil a telegram
came from Bonneville announcing Mr.
Mitchell was safe and sound, walking up
and down the depot platform and mat
ting some vehement words in a forcible
manner. Engineer -Curtis pulled the
throttle and with Schuyler Miller, the
brakeman, started for Bonneville with
all haste. The engine tore over the
track along the waters of the Columbia,
which flow swift and solemn through
the narrow pass where ' the Bridge of
Gods lies broken. . The run to Bonne
ville was made in not much longer time
than it takes to tell about it and soon
the conductor was returned to his train.
About s half a mile this side .of Ben-
neVilre Mr. Mitchell missed his footing
and fell and luckily escaped any injury
worse than a general Bhaking np. . Un
fortunately there was a party, of news-
paper men aboard the cars and each one
will have something to say regarding
the number of cigars it cost Mr. Mit-
chell on the way np.

I over 550 men appear this month on the
pay roll, though, of course, not all of
these .are working at once, but more
laborers are continually being employed,
The interior of the canal between th
bulkhead and- the outside lower gate is
entirely free from water and fast becom
ing dry. -A large hole has been made in
the bulkhead and men are working on
both sides taking out rocks and dirt,
Heavy blasts shake the ground during
I the hours when the men are not at work
The bulkhead will soon be entirely de
molished and the heavy excavation can
be said to be done. Two walls of
masonry remain to be built about the
middle of the canal and considerable
riprap work has yet to be done
in the place where the bulkhead has
stood. The upper gate is fast - being
placed in position and is a huge affair,
Every rivet has to be driven by hammer
and is is said over 11,000 rivets are in
the gate. ; The water still fills the
lower part of the canal below the gate
and the upper part above the bulkhead
but at the rate the river is falling these
portions will soon be sufficiently clear
for men to work upon them. By the aid
of electric lights night is turned into
day and the work divided into night
and day shifts. The contractors seem to
be bending every energy to burry the
completion of the works.

Condition of Wheat
the World.
Throng-hoot
Thb Chsokiclk has just received from
the Department of Agriculture,
bulletin concerning wheat prospects in
different countries. The yield, this year
will be short in nearly every country
except Bussia, where the crop promises
well. From every indication the price
this year should be conservatively
speaking a fair one and some men of
good judgment think wheat will open in
The Dalles market at a figure better
than 50 cents. Following is a portion
of the bulletin :
Wintkr Whxat. A good yield is in
dicated from Maryland and the Pacific
slope, and a greatly reduced crop in New
York,. Michigan. Illinois and Wiscon
sin continued drought having checked
growth in stalk and head. In Missouri
and Kansas rains have improved the
condition since June 1, but the yield
will b low and . the quality poor. A
lower condition, owing to the Hessian
fly and chinch bug, in Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Michigan, and to hot dry
winds id California, is also reported.
The condition of winter wheat is bo. 8,
against 71.1 in June and 83.2 last July
ine percentages oi tne principal stares
are: iNew xoric, ; Pennsylvania, e ;
Kentucky, So: Ohio, 60; Michigan, 69:
Indiana, 62: Illinois, OU: Missouri, bs;
Kansas, 42: California, 82: Oregon, 95
and Washington, 93.
Spring Whbat. A large crop, owing
to unusually favorable weather condi
tions, indicated in the Dakotas, Colo
rado, and parts of Wisconsin, Washing
ton, and Oregon. In other parts of the
last-named states the, crop is suffering
from continued dry weather.
The condition of spring wheat is V11J2,
8eainst 97.8 in June and ca.4 in
July. 1S94.
state averages are: Minnesota, uz;
Wisconsin, 98; Iowa, 109; Kansas, 46;
Nebraska, . 80: South Dakota, HZ;
North Dakota. 102: Washington, 94;
Oregon, 90. The. average condition of
all wheat for the country is 76.2. The
conkition of oats is 83.2. against 84.3
June 1, and .77.7 July 1,1894.
Ubbat .Britain. ine general pros
pects for a most excellent harvest have
been interfered with over a large part of
the country by insufficient rain, ine
fall during May and June was as much
below the average, as the record ot sun
shine was above. The effect of the par
tial drought is felt with particular seve
rity in the middle and south of England.
In Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, for
instance, it is-reported that the grain
crops will not pay the expense of har
vesting, "the threshing being- little else
than weeds.7 Ine wheat is reported in
several countries as "less than half a
crop, with oats and barley quite spoilt."
In the grazing countries the hay is re
ported as of hue quality but deucient in
quantity. In some of the western coun
ties it is stated that "keep will soon be
as scarce as In 1893."
France. In the , early part of the
month, iu the west, south, and south
west districts, severe .rains "laid" the
wheat over a considerable expanse of
country, thue making it certain that it
will be an expensive crop to harvest.
Since these storms there has been a de
ficiency of rain throughout the whole
country, and very hot weather, resulting
in premature blooming oi ine wneat ana
diminished prospects. The wheat crop
is estimated from -a poor average'
down to a falling off from last, year of
40,000,000 bushels. It will be remem
bered that the wheat area was some
what reduced in the autumn, and it is

sufficient for domestic needs.
Germany. The weather has been fav
orable throughout Germany . than in
France. The detailed report for May of
the Imperial Statistical Bureau showed
the expectation of crops of wheat, barley,
oats, and hay to be better than average,
but rye was under average. The weath
er in June has been such as to modify
the expectation of May forecast, persist
ent drought having characterized the
entire month in many parts. The wheat
crop is now expected to be an average,
and the rye crop is expected to fall be
low average to the extort of 25 to 30 per
cent.
Austria Hungary. In Austria the
June weather has been entirely propi
tious, and so genera a recovery has
been made of all cereal erowths that a
good average is confidently anticipated.
In Hnngary the wheat-crop has not
done quite so well, and it is expected to
fall below that of last year, from 6,000
000 to 8,000.000 bushels.
Spais. Heavy rains and floods early
June denuded large areas of the then
standing crops and inflicted considerable
injury generally ; but the prospects now
is for an average crop.
Italy, "An average crop now as
sured," is the wording of the telegram
to hand this morning (June 29).
Bussia. All authorities concur in pre
dicting a bountiful harvest, particularly
in the southern districts, which supply
the.export wheat to the Black sea ports.
Here the condition of both winter and
serine wheat is reported as considerably
above the average, and the prospects of
the rye harvest are reported as better
than at any previous period in thirty
years. The outlook for a corn crop bet
ter than average is universal. .
North Africa. The harvest in Al
geria and Tunis is completed and the
wheat harvest is believed to aeereeate
aboat 40,000,000 bushels.
