The calamity-howler would hare us believe that sections of the middle west face the greatest catas trophe to their wheat that they, have experienced In 25 years, and many peo pe In our own region have been per efstently bemoaning the fact that there was , to be a shortage of wheat this : year. ' The unfortunate thing is that there are always, many to believe the worst, but the. Good Book has promis ed us that there always will be seed time and harvest, and since it has nev- , er yet failed, we are encouraged to believe that the promise is true. The'market editor of a Portland pa per has Just visited Walla Walla on his annual trip of inspection tand he reports the outlook good. Of course it will not equal last year's bumper crop, but he states that winter wheat will run from 35 to GO bushels and spring wheat from 20 to 30 bushels. . The grain Inspector of this state de clares that "the Indications are for a crop of 80 per cent of last year's bum v. per yield and that this wheat, with , the wheat held over, will bring tno , total available next winter, nearly to the usual figure." President Ripley of the Santa Fe railroad states that "the crops In all territory Bouth of South Dakota are In good condition." I ' At this season of the year the public ' should have some place to congregate ' at least once a week and let the peo ple enjoy themselves. Nothing 6erves as a means of summer entertainment better than a band concert and jjhat should be held right in the business section of the city. ( By raising a purse it is possible to have two band concerts a week and la Grande people could do nothing better than start this enterprise even though It is growing late in the sea Bon. A movable band stand is best adapted to this purpose and then each block of business houses can share the benefit of a crowd of from two to four thousand people twice a week during the Bummer season. i; It is a good thing for the commercial club to take and push and If Bucess fnl th nralsA for hrlnetne- - about these events will be heard on every side. ' When there Is no place for the pubic to meet there Is little chance of getting people enthused over their city and ' surrounding rountry, bin with 'a good meeting flace twice a week the difference will be quite not iceable. - Breton and Welsh. Armorican. the old language of Brit-, tany. the ancient Cornish and Welsh and, for that matter. Erse and Gaelic are all closely allied languages, mem bers of the Celtic group. Breton and Welsh are very much alike. Th Art of Dyaing. Dyeing was practiced in Egypt as far back as 3000 B. C. and it may be assumed that it was practiced in still more remote times among tbe Indians, the Persians and probably the Chinese.

Wallowa county, that had not a rail road until last , year, is feeling the stimulating effect of the locomotive. All her mills are busy and this year's lumber shipments will ; total twenty million feet.
