The Antelope Republican, which
wants a county seat at Autelope, says it
would hurt Wheeler county very little,
if any, if it lost a small portion of its
terrilory. It would certainly hurt our
feelings, Bro. Kirchheiner, and to ask
for it would very probably sound the
death-knell of your proposed new
countv Fossil Journal.

We are sorry to learn from Mr. JameB
Snipes that his father-in-law, Mr. A. H.
Curties, is not near as well as we were
led to believe a conple of days ago. He
sutlers much and constantly from pains
in his head, and bis legs fail him as if
he were partially paralyled. Mr. Snipes
very much fears that Mr. Curties will
never be himself again.
Although Fossil's fine gravity water
system waB completed only last month,
already there are no loss than eight
bath tubs in town, fitted with hot and
cold water, and more on the way. In
consequence, the complexion of eight of
our citizens is lighter by several shades,
tnd the atmosphere as they pass by
smells not now like Portland's crema
tory. The progressive people of Fossil
are fast getting "next" to godliness.

1!. M. Brown, postmaster and store
keeper at Kent, Sherman county, was
in town today purchasing supplies. Mr.
Brown says the wheat crop in the Kent
neighborhood is the best ever known.
Heading is ttill in full blast with
thousands of acres years uncut. The
Columbia Southern people are sinking
a well at the Kent station that is al
ready down 238 feet without finding a
sufficient tupply of water. The experi
ment is of great interest to the settlers,
aa the Kent ridge is the highest eleva
tion in Sherman county and the settlers,
taunt of whom have to haul their water,
are interested in knowing how far they
must sink to find it at their own homes.
Some 400 men are at work for the O.
R. A N. Co. in the neigh horhood of Mo
ier, eirengthening the road bed and
making other improvements, and it is
expected that at least three times that
number will be employed there before
the snow flies. The improvements con
templated are said to include tunnel
between Hood River and Mosier about
a mile long. When all the improve
ments are completed it is expected that
trains will make the run from The Dalles
to Portland in two hours. Mosier will
be a lively place for thenext six months.
Foley firos. A Larsen have opened a
WminiHsarv store near the depot, with a

to hold meetings at regular intervals
during the coming fall and winter.
Rev. U. F, Hawk and Presiding Elder
Warner left Monday night for North
Yakima to attend the annual session of
the Columbia River conference. Last
Sunday closed Mr. Hawk's year of labor
in The Dallea M. E. church, during
which the earnest, unaffected piety and
amiability that are marked features of
his character have won him a host of
friends outside his own denomination as
well as within It. The church is work
ing very harmoniously. The member
ship only lacks a few of 200, a marked
increase during the year. The chuich
debt has been practically wiped out,
largely through Mr. Hawk's instru
mentality. The attendance at all the
meetings has shown an increase that
manifests the appreciation of the church
and congregation for the pastor's ser
vices. And all this and more has been
accomplished at. a time when the pastor
has been burdened with the care and
anxiety incident to the prolonged and
dangerous illness of his only child. It
is the desire of the church that Mr.
Hawk be returned to serve it for another
year, and this desire is earnestly sec
onded by a host of friends to whom Mr.
Hawk and his amiable wii's have en
deared themselves during their residence
among us.

over foity-six bushels to the acre.
Wheat is arriving at The Dalles ware

stored. The price for No. 1 was today
52 cents.
Elder Paul Krugr, of Hontsville,
Wash., will hold services in the Chris
tian church here next Sunday, to which

of the famoui president of the late
Transvaal republic.
The northest wing of Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland was almost totally
destroyed by fire at noon yesterday.
The damage is estimated at about $2000,
which is fully covered by insurance. A
defective flue Is assigned as the cause.
All the patients were removed rapidly.
The Portland carnival is making live
lyltimes for the O. R. AN. At 7 o'clock

that we grow peaches up this way.
The prospect of a Dalles harvest car
nival is daily brightening. Messrs.
Michelbach, Frank and Wilson spent a
part of yesterday soliciting subscrip
tions, with the result that $1,050 was
pledged, which, with the sums already
pledged, makes upwards of $2000. So
licitors will continue the work tomor
row in the hope that a sufficient sum
will be subscribed to make the matter a
success.

The street fair, as being held In Pert
land, had a singular origin, In an un
pretentious city in Northern Ohio a
Shylock foreclosed a mortgage on the
local agricultural fair grounds. It was
his purpose to extort from the managers
of the fair association several times the
rental value of the grounds for use as an
exposition. They rebelled and called a
council of war. It was decided to hold
the fair in the streets of the city. It
proved singularly successful.
A certain farmer at country fair for
several yeArs always took the prize for
the fattest hog. When asked ho-v he
did it, he would reply that he made him
eat more than his other hogs, yet would
never tell how he did it. One day, how
ever, some of his neighbors hid near the
pen where the prize pig was kept.
When the farmer went to feed the pig he
took three times as much feed as the
ordinary hog would eat and put it into
the pen. The hog ate about half of it
and then laid down. The iarmer then
went to another pen and brought a lean
and hungry razor-back and put him in
the pen with tho prize pig. When the
prize pig spied him he was calmly eat
ing the balance of the feed. Then the
prize pig got up and began to eat. He
consumed the rest of the feed to keep
the razor-back from getting it. That
was the secret of the farmer's succes.
He had played on the nature of a hog,
which Is to get all you can to keep some
one else from getting it. Query : Is it
because the hog has human nature or
because human nature has hog? Cor
respondent in Texas Farmer.

The Prison Missionary, published in

A recent report of the receiver of the
long defunct Portland Savings bank
shows enough money on hand to pay the
salaries of receiver, attorney, stenogra-
grapher, etc., for quite a long time yet;
so the old depositors may console them
selves with the reflection that they are
contributing to a few people's prosper
ity. The Astoria common council, after a
wrestle with the street lighting proposi
tion tln.t has had its counterpart in
The Dalles, has finally arranged for not
less than fifty arc lights, at a monthly

selling lots at $200 each. For that pur
pose a tract of forty acres lias been se
cured. Part of it will be donated for a
mill site.

flax industry is to be pushed again by
the Oregon Flax Fiber Association,
which is taking on new life. This is
good news. Oregon is destined eventu
ally to become a great llax-growing and
manufacturing state, and it would pay
the people of this state well to put these
industries in shape for growth and use
fulness. If individual of the state can
not tie found to undertake the prelimin
ary work necessary to lay the founda
tions for this great inaiiufacturiim
industry, the state itself ought todoso."

Wild Oregon grapes can be made into
the finest kind of jelly, according to the
Portland Telegram, On exhibition at
the permanent exhibit of Oregon re
sources, 246 Washington street, is a
small glass of wild grape jelly, put up
by Mrs. Ida Russ. The flavor is deli
cious. The making of these grapes into
jelly opens great possibilities for it be
coming a commercial article. Those
who know claim it does not need any
more sugar than is used in making the
j other fruit into jellies, and as for taste
jand flavor, nothing this side of Mars
can equal it, that is, according to the
taste of connoisseurs. It grows in great
profusion upon the hillsides of Oregon,
and does not need cultivation.
A freak In the habits of a wild bird
id evidenced at the ranch of Thomas C.
Fargher, near Nansene, about twenty
miles south of here, where a hen grouse
has taken up her residence in the
chicken yard, and has apparently set
tled down for a peaceful and happy life.
About a month ago the bird appeared
among the chickens, and counting upon
Mr. Fargher's well-known Hospitality,
made herself at home, since which time
she has gradually become very tame and
has ceased to notice the presence of
persons near or among fowls. Although
flying about at will, the grouse takes but
short flights and invariably returns to
the flock where she eats their food and,
what is more singular in a wild bird,
she carefully inspects the coop, turning
her bead quickly from side to side after
the pretty fashion of wild hens, then
quietly takes her place on the family
perch. This is the first instance re
corded in this vicinity of a wild bird
voluntarily casting its lot with domestic
fowls.
