A Dalles Han Unwittingly Treat a Buf falo Lady to Cigars. The Buffalo Courier of the 25th inst. contains an interesting interview with a young lady of that city who is ably managing the business of her deceased father, to which she succeeded a short time ago. As the lady does her own correspondence and simply signs the in itial of her first name, reference is made in the interview to the fact that she is frequently addressed as Mr, A. C. or A. C. , Esq. and it is noted as a climax that the other day "a man from Oregon" sent her some samples of Pacific Coast salt, done up in a cigar box, and in the middle of the box two fine cigars were carefully packed, which, it is needless to say, are still unsmoked. No names are given and it remains with the Chronicle to furnish the omission as far as the Or egon man is concerned. The father of the young lady was formerly an old and respected . friend and neighbor of Mr. Linus Hubbard who is employed in the office of O. D. Taylor of this city and having been long engaged extensively in the salt business Mr. Hubbard pro cured some samples of Utah and Cali fornia salt, packed them up in the man ner described above, 'end not being aware of the death of his old friend, thought he would treat him to a couple of the best cigars he could buy and thus mailed the package to the old gentle man's address. The first intimation that Mr. Hubbard had that ' he was treating a Buffalo lady to cigars was in the interview above referred to. Hood River Items.

The season of extreme heat is or should be now about over. No rain fell during the week, the weather has been cloudless, with fog on the coast in mornings and smoke in the interior vallevs.. CROPS. Wheat is all cut and much of it is threshed. In every section the yield has been above the expectations of even the most sanguine. The wheat is plump, heavy and of excellent quality. Oats are heavy and as a rule are large in yields; late oats have been injured slightly by rust in parts of Marion county. The threshers will be busy for about two weeks yet. Hop picking be gins next Monday ; in some sections con siderable damage has been done by the lice, while in other sections a good aver age crop will be picked. In Josephine county hop lice are not observable and no damage has been done, fruit is ripening rapidly and is very plentiful. Tomotoes and canteloupes are now gen erally ripening.

EVIDENTLY A FRAUD?"- v The Pacific Coast Home Supply Aasocla. tlon. Indian Valley, Aug. 22. To the Editor. Is there an association of wholesale merchants in Portland called "The Pacific Coast Home Supply- Asso ciation?" There has been a traveling agent representing this association in this part of the country. He guarantees to the farmers . "all kinds of goods handled by this association" at whole sale prices in Portland with the freight added. in order to obtain these rates it is necessary to become a member of this association. And this costs the farmer seven dollars, and this sum is to be paid to the agent, when he shall deliver to the farmer a certificate of membership, which is to be delivered some time in October. . Is this a fraud or not? Please answer through the Oregonian. Diligent inquiry among wholesale merchants fails to discover any trace of such a concern as the "Home Supply Association," and the merchants say thev have no time for such business, and pronounce the "agent," so-called, a swindler. Such swindling scoundrels are traveling through the country in all directions preying principally upon farmers, but some of them like the one exposed a day or two since getting ahead of business men. Hundreds of these swindling schemes have been exposed, but new and more enticing ones have been constantly invented, and the farmer is selected for a victim 1n most cases. If parties who are ap proached by such swindling agents would follow the example of the writer of the above letter they might often save themselves from being victimized. Ureqontan. One of these same scoundrels has been working the country south of here, around Dufur, Kingsley and Tygh neigh borhoods, so the Chronicle is informed and we are told he has succeeded in ' de ceiving quited a number of people. We learn that he has arranged to come back in a short time with the certificates and to collect the seven dollars from each victim. That his is a swindle, there is no doubt in the world, and we warn the people to give him , no quarter. ' The man who. pays him a cent will never see ft or its equivalent again.
