was had with the committee, about the
best terminal point and the ad vantages
to he gained by Teaching ont to the re
leif of Sherman eouhty, by extending the
road to Biggs. That a favorable impres
sion was made on the rniml of President
Osborne was evident from the fact that
lie willingly volunteered to drive up to
Biggs, that he might look over the situa
tion for himself, which ho accordingly
did, taking with him Messrs.: Haber
sham and Taylor. They returned in
time to catch the evening passenger at
Fnltonville for Fortland. Of course it is
impossible to tell exactly just what re

Portland chamber of commerce, but

rattle while playing. Most girls would
decamp at once, but these young ladies
proceeded to attack this rattlesnake with
clubs and stones, and he was soon dis
patched. Some of the rattles were
missing, but he was a big snake, and
must have worn eight or ten. of these,

Kcpnrt for the Week Ending Saturday,
Angust 8, 1891. ..
. ' WESTEBX OBEGOSJ WEATHEB.
The temperature has been from two to
five degrees a day below the average for
the week. On Tuesday and Wednesday
thunder storms were quite srenoral and
rain fell, especially in ' the Willamette
valley and along the coast ; rain also fell
on. Thursday and Friday, while today is
clear weather . and 'warmer. "'The rain
fall was heaviest in Multnomah and Coir
umbia counties and gradually- decreased
to the south, especially south of Marion
county. South of the Calappoia , moun
tains less than .15 of an inch of rain fell.
In the northern part of the Willamette
vallev about .75 of an inch of rain fell;
in a few sections hail fell on the 5th. :
; CKOl'K.
The rain did no material damage to
the wheat crop. Much of the fall wheat
was cut and in shock, ready for the
that Portland aid the people of Eastern 1 thresher, and about all the damage done
WANTED A FllVIT SHIPPER.
It is to us a most singular thing that
some one does not find it profitable to
go into the business of shipping fruit;
This year the strawberry growers of the
Hood River vallev were able to realize

to be in everv resnect as eood. thev onlv
brought a little more than a third of
that price. When Hood River had only
about the same strawberry acreage as is
around The Dalles she had to depend on
The Dalles and Portland for a market
and got only Dalles prices, now she can
go any where and ship a carload at a
time, if necessary. The Sueferts get a
fine price for their fruit but they ship it
themselve. When the Seuferts were in
town there was a market for every kind
f fruit i.t to ship. No wonder, one of
thorn anAdtinrt nf tltn Imr iiMMinf af.nr.
berries that prevailed here during Ihe
past season was heard to say : "If I was
in The Dalles strawberry growers would
get twenty cents a box for their berries."
Some one ought to take a hold of' this
-shipping business. There is surely good
-wages for the right man.
.1 TRIP TO BIGGS.
A committee from the Portland cham
ber of commerce visited this section last
Saturday night for the purpose of satis
fying themselves as to the feasibility of
the proposed portage road between this
city and Sherman county. -The -committee
consisted of President T. F. Os
born, Douglas Taylor, ex-surveyor-gen
eral of Oregon and present street com
missioner of Portland ; MV. Habersham,
the well-known engineering and survey
ing expert; D. D. Oliphant, and the
son of President Osborn. The wagon
ette of C. L. Richmond was hired for the
purpos? and the party started from this
city to view the route at about 8 o'clock
yesterday .morning. The following
persons nccompanied them on their
trip : Messrs. T. H. Johnston, of Dufur ;
V. C. Brock, of Wasco ; George A. Licbe,
Lieut. Norton, J. Middleton, Mayor
Mays and the editor of the Chronicle.
At the . mouth of Ten-Mile we were
joined by Mr. F. . A. Seufert, and the
company stopped for three-quarters of
an hour to examine the orchard. It is
well known hero that this orchard, of
some thirty acres, was planted a few
years ago by its present proprietors on
a sand blow, which they purchased from
Eroil Schanno for $1200. When they
began to level down the sand drifts and
plant fruit trees, the neighbors laughed
. at them for their folly. This same sand
blow became the nucleus of an orchard
that has produced this year 1400 boxes
of Royal Ann cherries, which netted a
dollar a box, and it is estimated will
' produce 16,000 boxes of peaches, 1200
boxes of Hungarian prunes, besides an
unestimated and endless variety of
blackberries, grapes, etc. These gentle
men find a ready market for all they
have to sell, and at good prices, ii Min
nesota, Dakota and Montana. They
; are constantly planting out inorc fruit
trees. Last year they planted . sixty
" acres of grapes on the high hill buck of
"the Columbia arid they are. so pleased
with their success that they ititc,nd t
plant "a thousand acres liefore they are
through." r ,v . ' - !
.. Arriving at D. J. Cooper's place where
. w stopped for lunch, we were met by
: Colonel Fulton and ex-So.;ator Biggs of
I Sherman connty. The' survey follows
Oregon in building a. portage road from
The Dalles to Biggs and shall not be sur
prised it they recommend that tho road
be extended to Wasco.
WHO IS TO BLAMK
' Referring to some comments of the
Hood River Glacier on certain remarks
made in this journal to the effect that
the change of the original plans of the
Cascake locks, whereby they were en
larged, and which . has brought about
years of delay in their completion, was
effected through railroad influence, we
are free to say that we have no means of
knowing just who the blame ought to be
saddled on, but we do know that Senator
Mitchell used these words to the writer
at the Cascade locks last Tuesday, and
made no secret of them either : "I have
no hesitation in saying that I believe
that the change of the original plans
that has more than anything else de
layed the completion of the locks was
brought about through railroad influ
ence." Senator Mitchell was not likely
to use these words without due conside
ation. The crime, whoever was the
criminal, is one of unusual infamv.
Through this needless, useless change, j
years of delay in construction have been
added, during which millions have been
wrnng from the pockets of the toiling
masses, to satisfy the greed of a corpor
ation whose grand business principle
seems to be to take as much as possible
from the people and give back the least
possible equivalent. The 'charge that
one particular person was alone to blame, i
or was to blame at all, should not be
made lightly Nor should it be made on
mere suspicion. If Mr. Caadlebaugh
has the proof, as to the guilty party, we
should like to see ite. If ho has pub
lished it years ago. in another jonrnal,
it won't do a bit of harm to republish it
in tho Glacier The people want to
know the truth no matter who it hurts.
An enormous shark was caueht in the
harbor of Panama, here last week. It
measured nearly 24 feet in length and
was four feet in diameter at its greatest
width. The flesh .was cut off and the
dorsal bone is to be preserved. The
skin is about a half inch ..thick. The
monster' is what is known as the .bone
less shark.. It was captured by a har
poon thrown by a fireman on the steamer
Bolivar; while in the vicinity of Toboga
Island,, and the steamer was completely
turned round by the powerful fish when
it'was first captured. Ex.

., E. J. Crow killed, an immense rattler
snake on ' his place near Spencer Butte
Thursday. The snake-measured three
feet, and nine and one-half iuches and
its body was the size of a man's arm. It
made a determined fight and compelled
Mr. Crow to run at one time. . It had
bit a calf on the shoulder the "previous
evening, but the life of the animal was
saved by turning it to the cow.
. The storm cent' r in the Willamette
was the delav whieh -will crowd fall
wheat threshing and spring wheat cut
ting close together. There are a few re
ports of wheat having fallen, but this is
practically nothing. A continuation of
the rain would have caused the wheat
to sprout. . The clearing weather . was
most timely. . Threshed wheat in Polk
and Yamhill counties has been averag
ing from 25 fo 40 bushels per acre; oats
also jielded well. In some sections
plowing for summer-fallowing is in
progress. The rains were of great bene
fit to rood crops, gardens, pasturage and
young orchnres and had a tendency to
destroy aud cause a cessation of the rav
ages made by the hop louse and codlin
moth. The four days rain was most un
usual for this season of the year, but
fortunately no damage was done and
good results from it are expected.
EASTERN OBKGOX WEATHER. . '
The temperature has been consider
ably below the average for this 'season of
the year. ' Tho weather has been cloudy
or partly cloudy and general showers
prevailed on Thursday and Friday, rang
ing from .04 of an inch at The Dalles,
.07 of an inch at Heppner to .38 of an
inch at Baker City. In the Blue moun
tains in Union, Wallowa and Baker coun
ties sAow fell on the night of the 5th.
The temperature was so cool that fires
were necessary in the house for comfort.
CKOPB.
The : rains delayed " harvesting and
threshing for two days. Xo damage
was done to the wheat by the rain,
though it did some damage to the hay
crop east and south of the Blue moun
tains. In Wasco county, from Dufur to
The Dalles, the wheat is shrunken and
and the vield is poor : some smut is to
be found ; in other sections the wheat
yield is good. In Gilliam county there
is some rust. In Morrow county the
wheat is yielding even better than was
expected. In Umatilla county the yield
is better than for many years.. Wallowa,
Union, Baker, Crook, (jrant ana otner
interior counties have excellent pros
pects. B. 8. Pagce, Observer.
