We would call the attention of stock
men to the advertisement of merino
sheep for sale which appears in another
column. The sheep are very fine and
will be sold at a bargain.
UeportB from all agricmltural points
tell us that the farmers are all busy
plowing. ' Winter lingered so long in
the lap of spring that the season for
planting will be necessarily short and
very moment must count.
The new goods for the Eastern Oregon
Cooperative store have arrived, and are
being opened up, and put in place. The
store will be opened for business on the

Speaking of the street rumors anent
the coming back of the shops to this
city it is beyond all doubt that two em
plopes of the company were here only a
short time ago to make a report on the
cost of repairing the old shops and other
estimates. They reported hat it would
cost more to repair the old shops than It
would to build new ones. This, taken
in connection with the purchase by the
company of 14 acres in the new West
Dalles addition may mean the building
of new shops there.'-' - '. '
The past week's trade has been more
brisk than the .former. Our merchants
have replenished the stock on hand
with fresh goods, and in the dry goods
line with new styles for 1891.
Real Estate. We note increased

military reservation addition have been
made during the past few days at good
prices. All . inside "property remains
firm with no changes to report.
.' In the grain line wheat has advanced
somewhat since our last report The
Wasco warehouse has paid 62J cents
per bushel, and is continuing to do so in
order for export only, although eastern
markets have made no material change
in quotations, it has advanced, owing to
the increased number of vessels in Port
land on charter and immediate dispatch
which is required to save denwrage.
The Wasco warehouse has shipped
within the past week 28 cars of .wheat,
. Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are as fluctuating as 'formerly,
with no encouraging futures. Chicago's
May delivery quotation is 1.03; New

Reciprocity. ,
The following dispatch is self-explanatory.
. t
Washington, D. C., March 20, 1891.
To the Umperor of Germany:
Dear William: I see from reading
The Dalles Chronicle, (published daily
and weekly at The Dalles, Oregon, and
containing the associated press dis
patches the weekly only a dollar ana a
half a year) that you don't like our
American hogs and have refused to buy
any more American pork. All right,
William, every man to his taste, as the
philosopher said when he kissed the
cow. But I want you to understand
distinctly that if you won't eat any of
our American pork I won't eat any more
of your Limhnrger cheese. There now.
Yours for reciprocity,
Ben Harrison. .
A Now Railroad. ;
A gentleman well posted in- the inner
workings of the transcontinental' rail
road companies said yesterday to an
Oregonian reporter : ,
Another railroad project that, is of
direct interest to the Oregon people will
no doubt soon be started by the Lehigh
Valley Coal company, of Pennsylvania.
The company has possession of vast coal
properties in Gilliam county, in the
vicinity of the town of Fossil." For the
development of. these beds they propose
very soon building a road into that
country from some available point. Just
where it will be has not yet been decided
but the lin will doubtless run either
from Heppner or The Dalles, more
likely from the latter point, as the route
is more feasible, owing to the presence
of water along, the line. At any Tate,
whichever route is taken, the state at
large will be benefitted by this addi
tional development of one of her great
natural industries.

From the results of recent experi
ments it seems probable that in the not
distant future the electric light may be
come an important adjunct in large" forc
ing houses where earlv plants and veget
ables, lettuce, etc., are raised for the The
market. In . a large establishment of
this kind in New York the . h6use was
divided by a board partition, on both
sides of which the same plants were
growing. On one side an electric light
was kept burning for five or six weeks,
with the result that there was a' very
striking difference in the growth" of
many kinds of plants. " On the lighted
side the lettuce was ready for market,
while on the other side the plants were
not more than lialf as large- The ; effect
upon flowers, petunias, verbenas, etc.,
was also very marked, but while they
develop mucli more rapidly under the
electric light, they last only about half
as long, and begin to bleach and fade
very soon after opening. Oregonian.
Rev. Wm. MacEwan, who was former
ly the rector of St. Paul's church the
The Dalles, but now located in Portland,
came near being the unwitting means of
having a brother rlrervmn hilked out
of $10 rv a shrewd Portland thief. It
seems that Wednesday afternoon a mes
senger boy delivered a note to Rev.
Thomas L. Cole purporting to have come
irom Key. William MacE.wan, in which
the writer requested a loan of $10. Not
having the monev alwut him at the time
"Mr. Cole instructed the bov to inform
the sender that the money would be "Bent
later. Upon visiting Mf. MacEwan it
was discovered that the note was a. for
gery, evidently written . by some rascal
who was in need of money and . thought
it possible to hoodwink the clergyman.
The moral evidently is that the only way
to keep from being robbed is to be 'with
out money.
A, gentleman of this city who ,is well
known for his quiet demeanor was over
heard today making the -following re
marks :; ' "When I was a boy I had ser
ious thought of being the competitor of
Gabriel for the job of" blowing ' the
trumpet that shall awake the dead. My
voice was so powerful I used to stand on
Ctesar Mountain, away down In Mis
souri and declaim mv school exercises
to the children in the little school house
a mile away, and they could hear every
word, of it distinctly too.-'.' This ' beats
Colonel Sinnot's fish story.-
While the wind was blowing a stiff gale
yesterday a little . fire started in a small
building at the west of the . company's
shops. A lady on second street was the
first to observe it wheii she hurriedly
ran across Mill Creek and gave informa
tion to the employes, who formed a
bucket brigade and soon had it under
control. Had the fire got headway un
der the circumstances it is hard to tell
what damage might have been done.
Some papers are making merry over the
announcement that the editor of the
Azusa (Cal.) News gave birth to twins a
few davs ago. It is not an occasion for
levity. The editorial function is all-em-"
bracing, and the accomplished lady re
ferred to will countless have no serious
trouble in keeping the twins quiet as long
as the feeding bottle and paste-pot holds
out. The kids being thus pleasantly
occupied, she can pour out- her power
ful mind on paper, unimpeded Dy infan
tile pranks. . ...
We have it on reliable authority that
two railroad contractors have ' already
expressed their readiness to take the
contract for building a portage railway
between The Dalles and Celilo for . less
than f 400,000. E. O. McCoy savs it would
cost a "MILLION," with a big law suit
and innumerable other disadvantages
thrown in. Wasco Observer i
A perfectly simple and innocent re
mark may have a queer sound, as when
a lady wound up a letter by saying:
"Now I must say good-bye, for my feet
are so cold I tan hardly hold the pen."
