returned from Albany accompanied by
Mrs. Ferguson, who went below in hope

E. W. McComas, one of the best

though he bad bought wheat in the
great valley ot California for many years,
and had always been a close observer of
the growing crops wherever be was, yet
he has never seen wheat looking better
than it does between Pendleton and
Athena this year, says the Fast Ore
gonlan. Every spear seems to be per
fect, the heads are even and unless
something unusual occurs within the
next three weeks, Umatilla county will
harvest her banner 'crop. .
The cooler weather which has pre
vailed during the past few days makes
the crop prospects much more cheering
in Eastern Oregon. During the hot
spell many of our people were very anx
ious to go to the seaside and mountains
for summer ontings, and quite a number
have already gone ; but the cooler wea
ther has caused others to change their
minds and put off their summer vaca
tion nntil later in the season. .

borough head by Henri Ponkula and
Henri Ylitaio, and delivered to Elmore's
cannery at Astoria, having on inscrip
tion on the right gill just beneath the

letters are foreign to any who have yet
seen the fish. The fish is a fine speci
men, of about 25 pounds weight. It was
a great curiosity and was viewed by
many interested people. There is no
doubt that the letters were inscribed
with some kind of imperiehable ink
when the fish was small.

Mary Ellen Lease is to make her
home in Oregon. Some time ago a
number of her admirers living in Min
nesota presented ber with a home in
that state. It was expected she would
stay there the rest of her life, but Mary
Ellen has evidently changed her mind.
During her sojourn in Portland this year

Democrat, who took part in the Oregon
campaign in defense of the gold staud
ard. Mrs. Lease and Mr. Bede are well
acquainted, and meeting him at the Im
perial betel she informed him of ber
Intention of making her home in Oregon,
as she could not stand the rigorous cli
mate of Minnesota. Mr. Bede saw his

promptly replying to Mrs. Lease, saying:
"We have but few reasons to offer in'
defense of Minnesota's climate, but you
have given the best one we have."

A pretty wedding occurred at 9 o'clock
last evening at the residence of the
bride's parents in this city, the con
tracting parties being Mr. William A.
Hoering and Mies Pauline M. Drews.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.

best man, while Miss Bertie Glenn acted
the part of bride's maid.
The residence was beautifully deco
rated with ivy, ferns and a profusion of
flowers.
After the ceremony a splendid wed
ding supper was served and a pleasant
time was enjoyed by all who were for
tunate enough to be present.
Mr. Hoering holds a position in the
Umatilla House in this city and is
known by everyone as a young man of
honesty and integrity, while the bride is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Drews, of The Dalles, and is highly es

Two Dalles Young- People Married Yes
terday Morning; In This City.
Thursday's Daily.
At the hour of 6 o'clock yesterday
morning at the home of the bride's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Rowe, George
Cooper and Frances Etta Rowe were
united in ' marriage, Rev. J. H. Wood,
of the Methodist church, officiating.
Only relatives of the young people were
present, and the ceremony was very im
pressive. The. contracting parties are known by
their host of friends in and about this
city to be, in every sense of the word,
most estimable young people, and seem
perfectly suited to spend a happy life
together. Mr. Cooper, having spent
his boyhood days on the home farm
near this city, and attended school here,
has grown to be an industrous, noble
young man, of whom any city may well
feel proud.
Miss Rowe was graduated from our
High school, and has since taught in
the public school with great success,
winning, by her sweet, womanly man
ner, not only the love of her pupils, but
the esteem of all who know her.
Mr. and Mrs. Cooper left on the 7
o'clock train yesterday for Portland,
where be 'is engaged in the commission
business and where they will make
their home. The best wishes of the
community follow them.
Weather Bureau Keport.
Warm weather continues over the Co
lumbia river basin. Monday the max
imum temperature ranged from 78 .to
88. Yesterday morning the tempera
ture ranged from 58 to 60. The absence
of a marked rise nnder the influence of
the high temperature, indicates that the
supply of enow is almost exhausted, and
that but a further slight rise is likely
to occur.
The Snake -is stationary at Riparia
and the Columbia at North port has risen
only .4 of a foot; at Umatilla the rise is
only .2 of a foot.
The river will continue to rise slowly
for the next several days. It is expect
ed that the maximum raise at Portland
will not exceed 21 feet, while at The
Dalles 36 feet is thought to be the limit.
The weather is cloudy, showery and
quite warm over 'the Columbia river
basin. Tuesday the maximum temper
ature decreased a few degrees. The
rivers continue to rise slightly. The
very small rise is indicative of an early
cessation of the rise.
At Umatilla the rise in the river will
be about two feet more; at The Dalles
about 3.8 feet more and at Portland
about one foot more. The temperature
will slowly fall over the Columbia river
baein, then the small amount of enow
yet remaining will not be melted nntil a
warmer period again occurs. In the in
terval the water now present will run
off and the next supply will not be dif
fident to produce a limner rit-e. With
in six days the rise will probably cease.

Long Distance Company Again
to Establish an Exchange.
Trying;
At present we have another instance
of where outsiders are endeavoring to
step in and take business away from lo-
cal concerns by offering empty induce
ments. The long distance telephone'
company, whose manager is a Portland
man, and which leaves no money in The
Dalles more than the rent of a smalt
offce and wages to two employes, is en
deavoring to make another fight for
business in this city by giving a contract
for a year at cheap rates and with prom
ises of unsurpassed eervice. Their ef
forts are overlooked, however, by the
thinking public who know what the
local company has done in reducing the
rates so that every one can afford to nse
phones in residences and places of busi
ness, and at the same time give as good
service as is possible for any company to
give.
The Seufert & Condon Co. have
started and made a success of their
business when the long distance com
pany was in its most flourishing condi
tion, and there is little danger that they
will sustain any injury by the action of
the opposite faction.
THE PORTLAND EXPOSITION.
Dates on Which It Will Be Held Pros
pects for the Display.
The exposition to be held in Portland
this year, opening September 22d and
closing October 22, promises to be the
largest, best and most successful ever
held. In 1895 and 1896 it was given
under the auspices of well-known busi
ness men of Portland, as it will be this
year.
It is conducted, not for profit on the
part of the committee, but to display to
the people of the Pacific Northwest and
to many Eastern vieitors who may be
sojourning in our midst, the wonderful
resources of this favored section of our
country.
There will be given prizes consisting
of cups, medals and diplomas for all the
the besUand most meritorious exhibits
of grasses, grain, fruits (fresh and pre
served), vegetables, etc,
Exhibits from Eastern Oregon will
certainly take some prizes. Space ia
free. Exhibits will be transported with
