If there waa not considerable genuine truth in the stories -of the shortage in foreign grain crops there would not be so much excitement in the wheat market, especially at this time of the year. The stock gamblers seem determined more than eVer to control the market, and it will be only a repetition of the same old story if many of them are found dead cocks in the pit, financially, before the snow flies. Mrs. Lease, the sensational alliance or ator, while lately addressing a meeting of Kansas farmers is reported to have said, by way of a final admonition, "Raise less wheat and more hell." Mrs. Lease, as an exchange observes, evidently believes in a diversification of crops but Kansas farmers will have , a hard time mortgaging the product she recommends them to cultivate. Portland wants an open river to the sea that is, if somebody else will pay it. Portland contributed the enormous sum of $2,000 dollars for a line of boats that will land every pound of freight they carry at her door. The rich men of Portland are still too much interested in Union Pacific stock to take much in terest in a competing line. DALLES GENEROSITY. The Dalles Portland & Astoria Naviga tion company finding that Portland was not responding to the invitation to sub scribe to the stock of the company with any liberality that would indicate that that city was interested in the matter, and finding that money is still needed to get ready for business, sent out a com mittee through The Dalles this morning and in about five minutes had raised the following sums: French & Co., $2000; B. F. Laughlin, $1000 ; Robert Mays, $1000; Mrs. W. Lord, $500; Sam. L jsrooKs, ?iuu. utner smaller sums are assured. This prompt response to the company's necessity goes a long way to ' prove that this city has men of sufficient public spirit to generously support any measure that will benefit the town. The farmers of .Vasco county will not forget this generosity when they come to realize the benefits of reduced rates of transportation. ARTESIAN WATER. From the Eal Oregonian, we learn that steps are being taken in Umatilla county to adopt some concerted action lor the purpose of sinking artesian wells. It is suggested that the county make c donation for the purpose with the under standing that an equal amount, or more, be raised bv private subscription in and Around the town nearest the place where artisian water would most likely be found. Encouragement has been given to the scheme bv the fact that artesian water was struck last week, in the North Yakima country at a depth of only 400 feet with a daily flow of 250,000 gallons. This was in spite of the fact that Super intendent Powell of the United States Geodetic department had pronounced against the scheme. The Eaxt Oregonian names the sum of $5000 as that which would probably be required to start the work in Umatilla county. ,iVill the time ever come when a movement of this kind will be started in Wasco county? There are thousands of acres of land here that, with sufficient water for irrigation, could be made to produce anything that can be grown in a similar climate. BRIEF STATE NEWS. Gilman & French, of Heppner, one day last week shipped 200 head of beef cattle by rail to Seattle. Nearly $35,000 has been raised in stock for a hosiery and underware factory to be built at Waterloo, Linn county.

Saturday afternoon while Smith Arm strong was standing near a saw in a mill at Milton, a board twenty feet long and eight inches wide flew from the saw and struck him on the forehead cutting a fearful gash in his head. He will re cover. Farmers living on the east . fork of Hood river have determined to utilize the water of that stream by building an irriggtion ditch four feet wide at the bot tom and about the same depth. The head of the ditch will be 1500 feet above the Columbia riyer. Barnard & Co., of St. Louis, have sued Grant's Pass for the sum of $188 for books furnished the city on the order of R. G. Smith, the former recorder. The books failed to arrived in time .for the old council to audit the bill, and the new body refused to allow it. James Gamty, a sheepherder, came into Heppner the other day and pro ceeded to get gloriously full. He was proceeding to capture the town, when the city marshal, after a hard struggle, with the help of several citizens, suc ceeded.in landing him in jail, a little the worse for. wear. HIS NECK. BROKEN. LeSoy Rose Rides Into a Barbwlre Gate and Meets a Violent Death. LeRoy Rose, a young man quite well known throughout the county met with a sudden death Saturday evening about 9 o'clock at James Cargill's place, ten miles north of Pendleton. Rose was go ing out to Cargill's farm from this city on horseback, accompanying John R, Mitchell and daughter, Miss Ella Mitchell, and a young man named Cul ver, who were in a buggy. J. here are two gates in the road leading to Mr. Cargill's house. The first Rose opened for the buggy, and then said to its occu pants that he would ride on ahead. The second gate, a barbwire barrier. had usually been left open, and Satur day morning was open when Rose went to town. When the buggy came up Rose was found lying in the road, inside the gate while his horse galloped away He was gasping when the party arrived but soon all signs of life disappeared It is supposed that thinking the gate was open he rode against it at a gallop, and that his horse turned a somersault and fell upon him. His neck was dislo cated by the fall. Justice .Bishop, actmg coroner, accom panied by Dr. Vincent and Deputy Sheria iiaiiey, went out Sunday and held an inquest over the remains, which brought out the lacts given above. -A verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury. Rose was about thirty-four years old, strong, and healthy and in the prime of manhood. He leaves a mother, three brothers, a sister and two little children to mourn his untimely death.

Work alone makes men bright, and it does not depend on the kind of work you have to do whether you rise. A Wrlnkle.Wortn Knowing. From the New York Tribune. A man who is in the business says "Over a dozen kinds of cement are made which will unite the broken edges of glass and china, and one is about as good as another. The easiest and cheap est to prepare, is made by taking two ounces of pulverized white gum shellac and half an ounce of gum mastic. Soak them together in a couple of ounces of sulphuric ether and add half h pint of alcohol. After the whole is dissolved the preparation is ready for use. You heat the edges of the article to be mended, put on the cement with a brush, and hold firmly till the cement has set. Lay the article "away for a week, and it will break anywhere else than in the mended place. Another Flood Is Feared. San Diego, Cal., "Aug. 18. Recent heavy rains at Campo and the country back toward the desert have again raised the Tia Juana river, and people appre hend more damage to property left by the heavy flood of last winter. The peo ple are very poor because of the heavy losses, and fear a repetition of the for mer flood. The uncertainity about the location of the line of a new railroad from San Diego to Ensenada causes de lay in locating the new town, and hence people have -been building temporary houses on the old sites, ihe new struc tures are now in danger. There are heavy rains today in the country drained by the Tia Juana river, which is alread a raging torrent, and should the rains continue long serious results may follow.

Hop growers in the vicinity of Butte- ville are considerably discouraged since the late rains," said Mr. George Herrin yesterday. "Before '-. the. rain the hop lice were not bad and many hop yards were almost entirely free from them. Since the rain every field of hops swarm with them. No one knows how they spread so fast, but the hop growers say they seem to have risen ont of the ground in swarms. The hop louse re sembles too closely the aphis, common on rose bushes, that only an expert can tell one from the other. They do not in crease much in warm weather, and if the under side of a leaf covered with them be turned to the hot sun they will be roasted beiore tney can crawl to the shady side of the leaf. But in cloudy or rainy weather, they thrive and multiply very last: The people are nard at work spraying the vines, fumigating them with sulphur and trying every way to abate the pest, but the lice continue to increase and climb higher all the time. They are tound on tne lower -part or the vines first, and a number of people have turned sheep into their hop yards which eat off the leaves as far up as they can reach. This, it was thought, might fool the lice which; finding no leavas on the lower part oi the vines to start in on might fall to the ground or . pass on to some other yard. sut it doesn t work ; the lice get there all the same. They get on the lower leaves m sight and be gin to climb. Some, who noticed that the lice had vanished from the lower part of the vines, immagined they had gone, but on searching they found the whole delegation near tne top ot the vines. Just what is going to be the result no one can tell. It may be that it will be necessary to harvest lousy hops, as from all reports there are no yards free from them. When the lice get into the hops they damage their appearance and market value, but it is not known that they destroy the virtue of them Dealers have quit making advances to the hop growers, as there is no certainty that tne hops win be oi any value. Some of the grower say they will turn sheep into their yards hereafter. They think that clearing ofF the lower leaves will have some effect in checking the increase of the lice, and will also benefit the crop by giving more strength to the upper portion oi tne vines, it tne lice put a stop to hop raising it will have a very serious effect on those who have been engaged in that industry, as it will not only do away with a profitable cro; but will lessen the value of the lan IMPROVE THE SCHOOLS. Two Instintlons Combined and a New Principal Appointed. Dallas, Or., Aug. 14. The trustees of La Creole academy met yesterday, and according to a prearranged programme consolidated the academy with the pub lic school, elecing J. W. Kieff principal of the latter, to be director of the schools thus consolidated. - The reason for this move is that the academy is in deb' for the new building. The public school district needed more room, and unless the schools are consolidated the direct' ors will have to build an addition to the old schoolhouse. La Creole academy in its day and -generation, has had a wide field of usefulness, and its alumni num bet many men and women prominent in professional, business and social me The trustees also decided to lease a por tion of the academy campus to a wagon factory, which will give employment to quite a number of men. Harvesting is general an over .folk Count. Crops are yielding gloriously, Hops are infected to a large extent with lice, but dealers believe there will still be a paving crop.
