Five families recently arrived from
the Middle West have bought'farms and
settled in Morrow county, northwest of
Heppner. They say that they are mak
ing money by the move, as they sold
their old farms at $60 an acre and havo
bought just as good soil at $10 an acre,
with a much better climate.
Money-lenders are doing a land office
business these days, so they say, and in
nearly every instance the loans are so
licited by farmers for the purpose of
buying more lands. The brokers say it
is a very rare thing to find a farmer ask
ing a loan in order to pay an old debt,
but when he does the loan is only for a
short time, and is solicited because the
farmer refuses to sell bis wheat at the
prevailing price.

ed to (the next legislature looking to
greater uniformity in the county assess
ments. The auction sales of crow n claims of

ously scouting about the field' looking
up the prize properties the queen has
for sale. No one knows just what claims
to be offered are blanks or which contain
the hidden prizes. The claims embrace
all that have lapsed to tbe government
from failure in representation and other
causes, and all that have been reserved
as alternate properties.

came entangled and as Mr. Heckler
descended from the wagon to straighten
them out, one of the wheel horses kicked
him witii the above result. He was

Injured internally.
The contract has not yet hoen let for
the construction of the race track, but it
will he, in all probability, within the
next day or so. The Gentlemen's Driv
ing Association has all the money need
ed to finish the work. The surplus of
about 1550 remaining in the hands of
the treasurer of the street fair has been
donated to the association on the under
standing that the lilatrict fair will he
held here next fall instead of at Ante
lope. It is not thought that there will
he any trou'ole in getting the fair back.
As a matter of fact it ought never to
have been allowed to loave here, and 1
would not have left if tho peoplo of The
Dalles had taken the interest in it they

them never thought it worth while to
attend, ami it was impossible to get the
business nun sufficiently Interested to
iiiulio exhibits. Things are different
now. The street fair has demonstrated
a. hat can he done when tho hu-dnesj
men put their shoulders to the wheel.
Latest election returns assure Me
Kinley 2!"2 votes in the electoral college
against 155 for Bryan. Kentucky with
only 13 voles is in doubt. McKinley's
vote in 1890 was 271 to 176 for Bryan
MeKinley carries Nebraska by at least
2000 and the republicans count on a safe
majority in the legislature. MeKinley
carries Indiana by about 32,000. Idaho
goes for Bryan by a small majority.
North Dakota gives a republican major
ity of over 12,000, or about 4 to 1 of the
vote cast. McKinley's plurality in Illi
nois is over 95,000. Delaware gives Me
Kinley a plurality ot over 4000. Ohio's
plurality for MeKinley will te 73,000
and Iowa's 99,072. McKinley's major
ity in Washington will be between 11,
000 and 12,000. "Rogers, -democratic
nominee for governor, beats Frink, re
publican nominee, by about 1300. Cali
fornia gives MeKinley the enormous
plurality of40.000. Oregon's plurality
for MeKinley is io the neighborhood of
14.000. .
Oregon apples will be worth $1.00 per
box inside of three v-eeks. Colonel H.
E. Dosch, secretary of the state board of
horticulture, who c'osely follows the
market, bases such an assertion upon
tbe big jump of prices of apples in the
New York market. Baldwin apples
have advanced from $1.50 to $2.50 per
barrel ; Kings, from the same price to
2.50 and f.'l a barrel; York Imperials,
from $1.50 to $4 a barrel. Red table
apples will bring in New York over
these prices an advance of 25 to 50 cents
a barrel. As soon as these facts become
known, Oregon, apples will naturally
raise a notch in prices, because the local
market is sympathetically effected by
tbe New York quotations. Colonel
Dosch advises growers not to he in too
big hurry to sell. The growing favor
of the better class of Oregon apples for
the export trade, taken together with
the failure of the apple crop in the main
Eastern belts, is a good indication the
prices will hit the lop notch. Quite a
number of apples have been placed hy
dealers upon cold storage for Christmas
trade, which helps to strengthen the
market. Telegram,
"The Hottest Coon in Dixie," which
comes to the Vogt next Tuesday night,
is the leading colored attraction ot this
country this season both in the number
and prominence of its members, Won
derful progress has been made in the
caliber and popularity of exclusive col
ored shows during the past five years,
until they now take rank with our lead
ing amusement attractions, and the
doors of many of the leading theaters
of the big canter n cities are being opened
to them and a marvelous business in
most instances has been the result. In
its costuming, iimiic.il selection'-, com
edy, etc., this newest bidder for public
favor will compare favorably with any
of the pretentious white face comedy or
ganizations on the road, having fully
double the number of people, and In its
singing, at least, far surpassing anything
outside of the big operatic companies,
the manager is positive Im has secured a
treat for Ida patrons who love good sing
ing ami pure, wholesome fun. The fa

ers, now with tiie "Hottest Coon In

weeks the rage at the New York casino

eight consecutive weeks in Chicago, and
