The real estate market continues firm

very few sales during the past week,
most of the transactions being in farm

city real estate offered but prices ap

Mr. Thomas H. Smith gave us a pleas
ant -call this morning. He reports that
at his place on Rail Hollow, above Dufirr
yesterday morning, after it bad rained
hard all night the ground in his garden
was tnirey as in the spring after the frost
leaves the ground.
, Mr. R. G. Guthrie, of Rutledge, in
forms us that a rain fell at his place,
thoroughly saturating the grond. . The
rain fall was lighter from the - Gordon
Ridge north toward the Columbia river.
Good crops and plenty of sheep grass are
assured. . .

A number of young hoodlums who

arrested this 'morning, but by the inter
cession of : parents were released from

promised ; to . abstain r-from such r petty
thieving in the., future. We-hope,-they
will do so, for it is from such boys when
they grow up that our jails and peniten
tiaries are filled. The parental' -influ-tence
should be used to keep the youthful
element from such things. ,- ; ,- ;.
Tom . Stricklin came into -town this
morning from his place at Barlow's Gate.'
He and a gentleman from beyond the

buggy and lead the two stolen horses.
They got their horses shod yesterday at
Dufur and proceeded in this -direction,
whither Mr. Stricklin and the gentleman
who lost jthe horses followed them this
morning. ' The horses stolen ' are both
bays weighing about ' 1200 - pounds ; each
and are branded' J. EJ connected. The
men who stole them are each about 35
years old. It is to be hoped they may
not escape.
THE PORTAGE ROAD.
What tHe Treasurer and Governor Have
to Say Thereon.
Salem Capitol Journal.
' 'A Journal reporter approached Gov
ernor Pennoyer today as to the progress
made in building the state portage road
at The Dalles of the Columbia. He
found the governor still reluctant about
newspaper interviewing but gathered, a
number of suggestions from a free talk
with his excellency. At present the
Union Pacific railroad has aline of boats
and of railway on both sides, that virtu
ally gives it a monopoly of all freight.
It is to break this monopoly that the
state of Oregon will build about a mile
of narrow-gauge "three feet railway to
connect the river above and the river
below the falls. This narrow-gauge
road will be equipped and operated by
the state. An independent boat is being
built on the upper river, that will be
completed as soon as the road is ready
to open. The governor think" the state
portage road will cause a great reduction
in freights on grain and wool from East
ern Oregon.
"I shall have some business for our
new attorney-general at once," said the
governor. "Wre shall be compelled to
exercise the power of the state to con
demn land for a part of the right of wayj
and it will be done at once."
The reporter next accosted Hon. Phil
MetFchan, state treasurer, who has been
giving the details of the portage road
a good deal of attention. He said : '-
"It will lie completed inside of sixty
days and inside of the appropriation of
JHO.000. We are having a little trouble
with one of the owners of laud the road
must pass over to
get a good landing.
1 The land he owns is worth about $500
and he asks f 2500.for a ten years lease
over it. The state will have to exercise
its right of eminent domain and have the
right of way appraised and condemned
according to law. Engineer Farley will
I go east to procure the rolling stock as
soon as all the work of grading is well
under way. The state will equip and
run the road. The employes will work
for the state. One locomotive and
enough cars will handle the business at
actual cost and we will see if the pro
ducers of Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton will be prevented in getting their
grain and wool to market at reasonable
rates. The whole thing will be finished
in 40 or 50 days. I look for great reduc
tions in freight rates from Oregon's little
portage railway. . . ,
4 The Welcome Rain.
A private letter from Kingsley under
date of May 26th says : ."It commenced
thundering this evening about 3 o'clock,
the clouds darkening in the - east over
Sherman county, and about 4 ' o'clock
rain commenced to-fall; -in large drops,
followed by hail as large as peas, melting
as they reached the ground and in Fees
than a quarter of an hour the roads were
flooded running in a stream three inches
deep,; putting one iri mind of the effect
of an old-fashioned chinook wind would .
have on a snow bank -in thespring. Af
ter the shower fences were found washed
away at the intersection of gulches: In
some places the hail Vas as large as
marbles and it" flattened "and "uprooted
the grain but the benefits more than off
set the damages." ; : ' V i :
Another letter, dated Kingsley, May
25th says? ' "It 1 rained ". here from II
o'clock last night and kept it up nntil 4
o'clock this morning.. The country is
safe and every : granger 1 on Tygh ridge
wears' a broad smile as he enters the
store with the remark, 'was not that a fine
rain we had last night.' "
County assessor Barnett came in from
Kingsley today where he has been assess
ing. . He bears testimony to the fine rain
they had in that section.
' .' A School 1'lonlc. . , r i .
Arrangements have been made to have
a picnic for the children : of the public
schools, on the 12th of June. The pic
nickers will goon the boat to Hood River
and partake of the famous strawberries
of that place. It has : been suggested
that the, 3rd. regiment band be secured
for the occasion in order to give the chil
dren a treat such as listening to the
music of the band and watching the
drum-major swing his baton. The band
has offered to go on that occasion for .the
small sum of $25, and a movement is on
foot to secure that amount by subscrip
tion from tbe friends of the children.
Snipes & Kinersly have kindly consent
ed to act as treasurers and receive sn'v
scriptiohs to the fund. The public are
invited to hand in their dimes and quar
ters for the little folks and assist in mak
ing the day pleasant for them.
Circuit Court Notes. .
In the circuit conrt today the case of
Dunn & Singleton vs. Schooley, which
was commenced yesterday, was argued
and submitted and given to the jury.
The case-involves a part of the price of
51 washing machines which Dunn &
Singleton claim they sold to Schooley,
Schooley claims he was merely acting as
an agent and after' paying the company
$81," the remainder' of the price was off
set by him by a bill for travel and adver
tising. An item of the bill included the
costof starting a laundry, which School
ey' 'Claimed was done' to advertise 'the
business." The jury' had not" agreed' at
the time of going to press;. The casejof

EEVLHW 0P THE LOCAL MARKET.
" The 'week which is just closiug has
been a busy one in general. Our mer
chants speak of a satisfactory trade and
more activity than at any time since last
year. Money '. is easier, - produce has
brought a better price and a good feeling
exists among all classes. The past few
days copious rains have fallen through
out the farming districts and all kinds of
vegetation and grain is in fine condition.
The cool weather following is of great
advantage to the young wheat and also
to the fall and winter. The ranges are
prolific of fine grass, and our herdsmen
find their stock in a fine coat of flesh and
are fattening rapidly.
In tbe produce line the market is well
supplied in everything desirable. Green
peas are in abundance at 5 cents a
pound. New beets, turnips, onions and
radishes are selling at 5 cents a bunch.
Strawberries are plentiful at 12 cents a
box, and should there be favorable
weather for ripening the market would
make a decline, otherwise the present
prices will be maintained. Gooseberries
and currants sell readily at 10 cents " per
quart. Old potatoes are quoted at
former prices, with a limited demand.
California new potatoes are at several
produce stores at 4 cents per pound.
Oranges are more scarce han a week
ago, and are higher, selling at 40 to 75
cents per dozen, according to size and
condition. Sicily lemons are quoted at
50 cents and California at 35 cents per
dozen. These tropical fruits are advanc
ing as the season closes.
Wool has come in freely during the
past week and has fairly got started in
movement which will be brisk the fol
lowing week. The clip exceeds expecta
tions both in fleece and staple which
averages nine pounds per fleece per head,
an increase In weight over former years.
One thing noticable, is the increased
oily state oi the wool this season, which.
is owing to the thriving condition of the
sheep during the entire wool year. Mr.
B.- Kelsey of .Fossil, a ' very extensive
wool grower of Gilliam county gives it as
his opinion that sheep-owners have been
more diligent in the Care 'of ' their bands
and have kept them 'free ' from disease)
and as a result, the Inland Empire will
put into market the best and heaviest
wool clip ever produced in Eastern Or
egon. : , 1
The large quantity ' of wool that has
arrived and to come to this market from
the different wool-" sections 'has caused
the buyers to look this way for purchases,
and already, there are no less than
eleven'-in fth'e cityv Two coming from
Boston, Mass.,' two from San Francisco,
(one of them will buy 1,000,000 pounds.)
Three representatives of Portland mer
chants and "four who are iri the market
for the several woolen mills and agencies
in this state. The wool transactions are
limited and bat few sales are reported at
present, what offerings have been made,
range fronv 713c . to: 18 ric, the latter
price being " for,! ' best " light " and " extra
staple heavy wools range in price from
13 to 15 cents. What the near future
will do in prices is uncertain as the Un
ion Pacific has not fixed freight rates
and markets abroad are not fully estab
lished. 1
The salmon catch is very light, and
our canning establishments are short of
their usual pack for the season thus far.
The several fisheries along the river be
tween this city and Celilo have orders
ahead all the time, for shipment of fish,
packed in ice, for eastern markets. The
Portland market is short of its lower
Columbia river supply and is drawing
from this city daily to fill their demand.
This drain from the canneries cuts short
their canning supply and from the pres
ent outlook the season's pack will be less
than formerly.
