Quite a number of the farmers of Tygh
Ridge have been busily engaged the
past two weeks in hauling the residue
of their wheat crop to The Dalles, not
for the purpose of selling at the present
prices, but to make room and prepare
for harvesting and storing one of the
largest crops ever known in the history
of that section, says the Dufur Dispatch.
Christian Anderson, The Dalles South
ern Railroad Company's surveyor, with
a gang of men, went through to Kings

Boniest photographs we have ever seen.
It is a picturer in natural colors of the

letting him know.
The first brood of young Chinese
pheasants were seen last Wednesday out
by the Mesiker place near Goldendale,

thirteen in the brood and they were re
markably spry and cute. Parties seeing
any other broods are kindly requested to
report same to Dr. R. E. Stewart, of
Goldendale, so that he can get an ap
proximate idea of the number being
raised, and also for the better protection
of the little fallows.
A. A. Urqnhart, Wra. Morganfleld,
and Dave Stroud, who have been work
ing on the city water ditch in the neigh
borhood of the meadows arrived here
this morning to attend the polls. They
have partially opened a ditch about a
mile and a quarter in length through a
swamp between the Dog river ditch and
Mill creek, whore the water formerly
spread over a large tract of ground and
flowed among fallen timber and weeds
and tkunk cabbage as high as a man's
shoulder. In digging the ditch they
opened up nearly a dozen springs of
pnre ice-cold water that they estimate
will Increase the flow into Mill creek
fully one-third. They say some of the
springs are "as line: as a man s leg
and there Is no better water in the
world.
That there is crying need of cheap
transportation between the interior and
tidewater goes without saving. It costs
now 12V cents to move a bushel of
wheat from eastern Washington to the
ship thai will transport it to Liverpool.
'That is just abnnt one-third the pre-
vailing price of wheat in this section,"
saps the Spokane Review. "If it be ad
mitted that wheat can be grown Here at
cost of twenty-cenls per bushel, an
exceedingly low estimate, it means that
the transportation company makes
more out of hauling the wheat crop to
tidewater than the farmer makes from
all his labor and all his investment.
Let us talk of

We are selling a special value Suit now at $9.83
that is simnly unbeatable for the money asked. This
Suit is of superior merit and style, and really ought to
be sold by us for $12.50, for that is the price of similar
Suits at other stores.

The state grain inspector estimates this
year's wheat crop in eastern Washing
ton at 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 bushels.
If 20,000,000 bushels should be sold for
export, the railroads will take $2,500,000
for moving the crop to tidewater. If
the freight rate were reduced one cent a
bushel, it would mean a direct saving
to the farmers of eastern Washington
of $200,000. If an open river lowered
the freight rate five cents per bushel,
the saving would amount to a million
dollars."

A few months ago some business men
of The Dalles concluded that a wool
scouring mill ought to be located at that
thriving city and great woolshipplng
point. They did something more than
talk, and now the new scouring mill is
nearly ready to begin Its very useful
work. About the same time that this
talk was prevalent at The Dalles there
was considerable talk in Portland of a
big woolen mill in this city, but the
project ended in talk, and even that has
ceased. There were other projects,
too but no matter; let us take another
nap; who wants to wear his life out
with rustling for business and building
up a town? Telegram.

PEASE
TISSOT'S FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
The Dalles I'eople Will Soon Have Re
productions of Them at the
M. K. Church.
When the paintings of Tissot were ex
hibited in Chicago last year, the rooms
of the Art Institute were packed to
suffocation day after day by crowds
eager to study the wonderful conceptions
of the French artiBt. The remarkable
change which came over the man who
had spent a lifetime in painting com
mon place scenes, such as might be
expected from a Bohemian, is one of the
romances of art. The man was over 50
years of age, and the occasion was the
church of St. Sulpice, in Paris, whither
the worlding iiad gone to study faces of
beautiful women. There a vision came
to the painter which transformed him
into a new man, with a flew ambition,
and a new future.
He left Pai is on a pilgrimage to the
Holy Land, where he studied with eager
attention every spot associated with the
life of Jesus, and read the gospel narra
tive niore than a hundred times. He
determined to paint the story of the
career of the N.izuene, giving it the ex
act setting in which it took place. For
ten years Tissot studied and painted.
At last he placed before the world the
result of his long toil 500 paintings and
drawings.
When his father looked at Ihem be
wa amazed to find how wrong his im
pressions had been of the places which
the holy feet had touched. He ex
claimed: "Then I must alter all my
preconceived ideas of these things!
What, is not Calvary a high mountain,
in the shade of a sugarloaf, covered with
rocks and brush wood?" "Well, no,"
replied Tissot, "the Mount of Cavalry,
though it occupied the summit of the
city, was, at the most, only 22 or 23 feet
high. Your mistake is shared by the
irreater number of believers."
One can get a better idea of the topog
raphy of the holy land, the architecture,
the dresi, the faces of the people, by
studying Tissot one hour than by read
ing many books. Leonardo's great
painting of the "Last Supper" is found
to he seriously at fault when placed by
the side of Tossit's picture of the same
an1 jet. It is most interesting to place
a ttiphael or an Anaelo or a Hoffmann
near n Tissot and note the different con
ceptiori of the artists.

T. J. Seufert reported that he had
negotiated the sale of the $20,000 worth
of bonds that fell dee on tho 1st of
March to the First National bank of
this city. The holders of these bonds
are fire insurance companies, and they
required their payment because of heavy
losses from fire in Canada. The matter
of their sale was placed in the hands of
Commissioner Seufert, and the result is
very creditable to his business capacity
and very satisfactory to the board. The
interest on these bonds, about $100 a
month, will be kept at home, and the
surplus funds of the board, instead of
lying idle for a time in the hands of tha
treasurer, will be used monthly to re
deem the bonds and to that extent can
cel the interest.
