COMMENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Evey
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courier-Herald Reporter.
People, who are laying in their annutf
supply of flour now, may be unduly
frightened as to a possible scarcity on
account of the extreme rainy season,
but they are assured of having a good
supply of merchantable flour to last
them through the year. They will not
have to borrow any anxiety on that
score, nor order a sack from the grocer
very week or two, when the housewife
suddenly discovers that she is out of that
very necessary article.
Some farmers estimate the damage to
wheat by the late rains at 50 per cent.
Others think la is damaged less ; others
more. ' C. W. Ganong, of the Portland
flouring mills here, put the damage at
60 per cent, in the Willamette valley.
However, it is claimed that much of
this wheat will be good for flour, while
the remainder will be suitable for feed.
The mills here have 100,000 bushels of
wheat on hand, besides the flour in
stock.
If you want the best price for your
farm produce, send to Harris' grocery.

V - PORTLAND, OREGON
The Trenton, Mo., Republican, in a
Ions descriptive article of the National
Editorial Association trip over this
state, has the following in reterence to
Oregon City : Oregon City, 16 miles up
the Willamette, the first capital of Ore
gon, contains one of the oldest land of
fices in the United States. Willamette
falls, one of the world's great water
powers, is here. Oregon City flouring
mills can grind more than a million
bushels of wheat a year, and their flour
is in the markets of Eastern Asia
About 50,000,000 tons of wrapping paper
manufactured from Cottonwood, white
is shipped from that place yearly. It is
fir and spruce and requires millions of
feet of lumber. The electric plant that
lights the city of Portland is located
here, and this city is one of Oregon's
historical towns;
J. W. Berriam, who has charge of the
new hatchery now being constructed on
Rogue river, arrived Saturday morning
on business connected with the same.
The racks are already in and the struct
ure will be ready for operation by Sep
tember 10th, and he expects to secure
(5,000,000 eggs. This will fill the ca
pacity of the hatchery. Mr. Berriam
'says the Chinooks are now running, and
some of them are beginning to spawn.
He Bays they are the finest specimens of
salmon that he has ever seen. Mr. Ber
riam has been connected with the
Clackamas hatchery for several years,
and now has charge of the Rogue river
hatchery for the state.
J. A. Moore, a well known hop grower
of Wilsonville, was. in town Friday
He statej that his 14-acre hop yard
gives promise of an extraordinary yield,
and the hops are unusually large. His
yard will be ready to pick two weeks
earlier than other hops in that neigh
borhood, which Mr. Moore credits to
the early, thorough cultivation. Mr,
Moore states (hat he has tried the plan
of steaming the hops when they are first
put in the drier, and it works admire
bly. The steaming process starts the
sweating, the hops readily taking the
sulphur, onlv about half the usual
amount being required. The hops, af
ter being treated to this process, dry
more evenly and do not become brittle
and break.
Horses For Sale.
I have for sale twelve mules and fifty
horses. These are eastern Oregon
horses and weigh from 1100 to 1500
pounds. All young and some of them
