The committee made two reports, a majority and a mi nority report The1 majority reixirt, which was adopted, recommends thai the proposition of the Columbia IUver and Navlgutlou company (Molor's com pany) be accepted. The proposition In brief is that the company agrees- to build a portago road around the rapid above The Dalles on the Woshlngton side, and put on a line of steamer above and below The Dulles, provided the cltens of Portland will take three hundred thousand dollars of the Co.' bond. The minority report favored the formation of a stock company by the citizens of the country tributary to the Columbia river and building tin rood on the Oregon side.

A large audience greeted the fruit men on tlie opening of their de liberation. Mayor M. M.

In eulogistic term he referred to the advantage of our county for fruit cul ture, end hoped that the discussion would stimulate Interest In the business, extending to visitor the freedom of tbe city. Dr. Oardwell, of Portlaud.oo behalf of the society, accepted the wel come, and spoke very flatteringly of Dallas' beauty and of the wonderful productiveness end adaptability to fruit raising of the surrounding region. He prophesied that tbe fruit Industry would urs'rsetle in Importance the growing of wheat and corn and oat. Professor T. F.

Among lueee maybe nieu tlouod the Grant' Pass Courier and tlie Independence Was? Bids, both of which are good paying propcrtlc. Mr. Stine' plan ha beeu In tbe past to publish a typographically neat and newsy naiier In some town not before blessed by Journalistio enterprise, and having secured a good subscription list and advertising patronage, seek a pur chaser and sell out "when the bloom waa on the rye."
