. F.'C. Sexton, of Kingsley, brought in
to town yesterday three head of fine
young graded Perch'eron mares, which
he intends taking to the valley for sale,
. today. He expects to get an average of
$200 each for them. Last fall Mr. Sexton
sold a sucking colt of the same stock for
$150. It pays- to raise horses . of that
.kind, and pays well.
. Our old friend P. M. Kistner, late of
Wamic, has started a boarding house
known as the Grange hotel in Mrs. Win
gate's building on Third street next
door west of the old Grimes feed stable.
Mr. Kistner will furnish his patrons
with a good, wholesome, . well cooked,
old fashioned meal for the low price of
25 cents. We bespeak for him a liberal
share of the public patronage.
At the meeting of committees on the
Fourth of July celebration held last
night, very little was done that is worth
relating.- The grounds have been se-
' cured for the sham battle and the cele
bration is of course an assured fact, but
the absence of members of committees
holding important positions caused very
little progress to be made. The meeting
adjourned to next Monday evening.
A. valued correspondent writes from
Hood River: "Decoration day will be
observed here. The procession will form
in the streets as follows : G. A. R. post,
Sons of Veterans, W. R. C, company D,
Third regiment, 0.- N. G. and citizens
and schools. They will inarch to 'the
Smith school house, where speeches will
be made by M: P. Isenberg, C. J. Hayes,
C. L. Gilbert and others. A picnic din
ner will be served after which there s will
be , military . exercised by company D,
singing by the different schools, declama
tions', etc:"
We find the following item in' one of
our. exqhanges : . "A farmer - near 1 town
haa.r been in the . habit of - running ac
counts during the' year, and paying' in
the fall with the nroceeds of the dairv.
when he counted himself lucky if ..he-
maae Dotn ends meet, lie resolved' to
t-ry a-new plan;' for, - one- year, at j least.
Accordingly he hired a sum of money at
the' legal rate' of interest and began pur
chasing for cash, with, the result that . in
the fall he found he had - money - enough
to pay the borrowed capital, and a nice
little balance of $200 to place on inter
est. Since then he runs no accounts.
Casb will always discount credit."

REVIEW OP THE LOCAL MARKET.
, - The local trade of the city has been an
average one for; the. week 'and business
from the outside has-been' much im
proved by the movement of wool, which
has come in more freely from the sheep
ranges. The warehouses are beginning
to fill np quite briskly with this staple,
but the uncertainty of the markets has
not given any assurance of speedy sales
at prices which owners ask. There are
only three buyers in the city and conse
quently there is no competition and but
very few transactions.
In- the produce market prices are
downward, green peas are iu good sup
ply and dealers are paying 6 ' to 7' cents
per pound. Strawberries are quite
plentiful and in a few days prices will be
down to zero, as the favorable season for
these luxuries . is excellent and the
product will be very large.
The wheat market is very active at
former prices, and the farmers are letting
all their surplus wheat, which they have
been holding over, go. The Wasej
warehouse is receiving from 400 to 600
bushels daily, which they are paying 80
cents per bushel for.
The Dalles wheat market is steady at
80 centa per bushel.
Oats The oat market is in good sup
ply with more frequent offerings at quot
ations. We quote, extra clean $1.50 per
cental and inferior $1.35 per cental. -
Barley The barley supply is very
short and the demand is increasing with
an advance in price. Quote $1.151.18
per cental sacked. "
Flour Best brands $4.25?4.75 per
barrel; extra brands $5.75 S'?6.25.
Millstufks The supply is in excess
of demand. We quote bran and shorts
$17.00 per ton. Shorts and middlings
$20.00 $22.50 per ton.
Hay Timothy hay is in good supply
at quotations $17.0018.00. Wheat hay
is very scarce and is in good demand at
an advance. Good hay would bring
$16.50 per ton.
Potatoes Good potatoes are in better
demand and are rather short of supply
at .751.00 per 100tt.
Butter Is in better supply. Quote
A 1 .35.40 cents per roll which is com
ing in more freely and the demand is well
supplied.
Eggs The market is better - with - a
moderate supply coming in at quota
tions. We quote 15 cents per dozen. ;
Poultry Is very scarce and sells
freely. We quote, average fowls $3.00
3.50 per dozen, common' $2.50(g;3.00 per

A Novel Fish -Wheel. '
Haworth & Thurman have stopped
fishing for suckers and are going fishing
for salmon in the raging Columbia.
They are building two -flat boats eight
feet wide by thirty long which will be
placed side by side five feet apart on the
principle of a catamaran. The - boats
will not be caulked at all but will be of
thin plank and the entire bottom cov
ered with sealed five gallon oil cans laid
side by side. This will be the weight
sustaining power, and as each can - will
hold up forty-five pounds it will be seen
that it will ' require some considerable
weight to put three hundred ' or more
cans under water,' The"6utfit will be
light - and can be run anywhere - on a
heavy .dew. '" Between the two. fcoats, will
be p aced a. fish wheel five feet in width,
and the owners will run the concern any
where that there are indications -of sal
mon,' The ex pease : of the whole outfit
will not exceed a couple of hundred -dollars
.and any good day's fishing will net
that amount. The genial Sam will fur
nish' the motive power for a good strong
tlow will send it well up. stream against
such a current as is running now.
We regret to record the illness of Mrs.
Isaac Joles,;. from heart . trouble. She
was taken suddenly ill yesterday morn-,
ing and still continues suffering and rest
less1. " Her husband, who was' absent,
was telegraphed for yesterday and re
turned home at - 5 o'clock this" morning.
We sincerely desire her speedy recovery.
' Later. We are requested to state, that
owing to the; critical 'condition of Mrs.
Joles, at this writing, the doctor has
forbidden any one to see her.except the
members of the - family. The friends .of
Mrs. Joles will kindly govern themselves
accordingly.

There are few prettier localities in the
world for a town site than that of Hood
River in this county It is charminglv
situated on the south bank of the Colum
bia which it overlooks. - As a place to
enjoy quiet and rest during the heated
term, under the shade of it ample foli
age, or breathe its health-giving air by
the banks of its beautiful streams, it has
few equals and no superiors, anywhere.
There is all the charm which scenery can
impart allied to the . healthiest climate
in the world. ' A very ' superior class of
highly cultivated people reside there.
All the advantages of educational and
religious institutions are present. There
are two very tasteful church buildings
in the town and two others about three
distant. The fraternal and other so
cieties are represented by a lodge of K.
Of P., a G. A. R. post and Woman's Re
lief Corps, one grange and two alliances.
There are four general stores, one furni
ture store, one hotel, two restaurants,
two livery stables, two real estate offices,
one shoemaker shop and two blacksmith
shops. The professional corps is repre
sented by three physicians, two attor
neys and one doctor of dental surgery.
A very lively little weekly full of bright'
sayings and local happenings is pub
lished by Mr. J.. H. Cradlebaugh and
facetiously but inappropriately called
the Glacier. There is a fine graded
school in the town and six common
schools in the valley. The population of
the valley is estimated at 1400 souls. A
large number of persons from Portland
and other places own property in the
valley or have summer residences there.
Cloud Cap Inn, at the base of Mount
Hood, away np in the region of eternal
snow and a favorite resort for summer
tourists, is less than a day's journey from
the town. There is no better trout
fishing anywhere than can be found at
a reasonable distance. It is never very
hot there and the nights are always
deliciously cool.. Take it for' all in all
the world has few more charming spots
than Hood River and the valley called
by that name.
y A Pleasant Party.
Last evening a partv of our favored
young people were invited to the home
of Miss Williams to spend a few hours
angling. The handsome parlors were
decorated with masses of roses, and the
guests gaily sported with the little fishes
which, unlike ordinary chubs and suck
ers, were valued onlv as thev were num
bered high or low. The hours flew by,
and the fascination of the sport increased
until a halt was called, and the success
ful anglers were awarded the prizes.
Mies Lena Wentz and Mr. C. E. Wilson
carried off the first prize, and Miss Fitz
Geraldand Mr. S. Campbell the "booby"
prize. After refreshments were served,
dancing was entered upon and shortly
after 12 o'clock the partv broke ud. all
having had a delightful time. There
were present; Misses. Ursula Ruch,
Minnie Michel, Louise Ruch, Matilda
Hollistier, Gertrude Mevers. Lizzie Fitz-
Gerald, Virginia Mardenr Rose Michell,
Annette Michell, Lena Wentz, Mrs. Hil

Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep, anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold ? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in, distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himselt, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes &.Kinersly.
