early yesterday afternoon.
The Regulator started on her first
business trip to the Cascades and return
this morning. .
Hon. J. D. Tee generously handed $20
to a representative of the relief com

Billy Graham of the Opera restaurant
has opened up the neatest place in town
on Front street next door to Jones' cigar
store.' This is only a sample of the pure
grit of our business men and shows the
stuff that Billy is made of. Mr. Graham
says his Irish is up and he is going to
"stay wid 'em."
Last Saturday, the decomposed body
of a man, supposed to be Mr. Niles of
. the firm of Niles & Vinson of Walla
Walla, was found In a box 'car, partially
covered with coal, at La Grande, Or.
The car was one of a train that had ar
rived three days before the discovery
was made. The skull of the dead man
was badly crushed.
Since the mass meeting of citizens,
held after the fire, the hobo population
of the town has very steadily diminished
till it is now a' rare thing to find one.
The fact is the trains are watched care
fully, and when any of thenisbring in
these unwelcome gentry, he-no sooner
hits the ground, than he is arrested.
The foreign hobo element hear of this
and keeps away.
Pendleton's contributions to the suf-J
i erers by the great fire has been expend
ed in a commendably judicious manner.
Mr. Carrol has not : wholly relied unon
the
statements of any one as to the
needs of the people but has gone among
them himself in a quiet unostentatious
way and whereever heed was discovered
ithas been supplied according to the ex-
rtent of the contribution under his con
trol. .

Slugging Match.
A slugging match took place in this
city Saturday night last, In an empty
store building on Main street. About
50 persons paid an entrance fee of fifty
cents. The first contest was between
Mike Hull, a feather weight pugilist and
Alex McCoy a waiter in one of the city
resturants. McCoy was knockod out in
four rounds when the negro bootblack
known as Shack accepted a challenge
from Hull on condition that Hull should
not strike him bard, Shack stood up
about a quarter of a second when he got
a punch in the eye that at once satisfied
him and closed the optic. Then Shack
started for a razor and during the night
meeting Hall he made, two or three
slashes at him, cutting Hall satchejl
and rubber coat. A bystander leveled
a six-shooter at Shack when he
ignominously took to his heels
and hid himself in a bath room of
one of the city barber shops.
He was routed out of there at near mid
night and has nob been Been since and if
be is never seen again ifn The Dalles the
c'rW will survive the affliction. We have
had enough of him and enough slugging
matches too, and'itt is, hoped the author
ities will stop all such disgraceful scenes
in the future. .

ally drowned Tin the Willamette river
Saturday evening last. Young Peebles,
in company Vpith three' other men, who
had undressed on one of the slips,
jumped into the river from the slip,
which stoci about six feet from the sur
face of the water. As he did not soon
rise to the' surface his companions be
came alarmed and as the water was only
five or six feet deep they had no trouble
finding him. 'He had iot been in the
water more han three minutes, vet
every effori to bring him back to con
sciousness was unavailing. A careful
examination of the body after' it was
taken t,o'the morgue revealed . the fact
that his neck was broken between the
fourth (and fifth cervical vertebrae.

CROP-WEATHER BULLETIN Jft). 37.
Report for the Week Ending Saturday,
'". September 18, 1801. .
" WESTERN OREGON WEATHER.
The temperature has been lower, yet
above the average. The atmosphere has
been clearer of smoke, the weather has
been partly cloudy and local showers
prevailed during the latter part of the
week.
CROPS.
The showers have done no material
damage, they have delayed some Late
threshing, and somewhat retarded hop
picking in a few sections. The thresh
ing of grain is practically over ; only a
few small lots yet remain to be threshed.
The wheat is being delivered to ware
houses and elevators. The wheat pro
duct was never better, the berry is of
first grade; the yield has been heavy,
generally more than . was anticipated.
Large 'yields are reported from every
county. In Washington county for ex
ample, one farm yielded 4fi bushels per
acre, another 54 bushels per acre. Smut
is more generally' reported than usual,
though it is not this year so very exten
sive ; spring wheat is more affected than
fall wheat. The oat crop has been good
but not as proportionally good as the
wheat crop. Hop-picking will be about
finished next . week, unless the present
rains should delay the pickers more
than is now expected. The hops of
Douglas county were supposed to be
free from lice and mould, but on picking
some yards are found to be. badly dam
aged. No lice are observable in
Josephine countv. It is estimated that
Hce and mould have damaged the hop
crop to ine extent ot auu.uuu. in Jack
son and Josephine counties corn is ripe,
of good quality and yield. Summer fal
lowing is in progress in many of the
Willamette valley counties.
EASTERN OREGON WEATHER.
A few showers have occurred. The
temperature has been cooler and about
the average. There has been less smoke
in the atmosphere. In the interior
counties on the higher, elevations frosts
occurred.
The showers did no damage. Thresh
ing is in progress in some sections and
in some counties it is nearly done. , In
Wasco and in parts of Sherman county
the wheat is more shrunken than in the
other counties. Yields of 40 bushels
and upwards are frequent in Morrow,
Umatilla and Union counties ; in the
latter county, Baker, Wallowa and in
terior counties, harvesting and threshing
is well along. Reports indicate yields
above the average and above the expec
tations of the farmers in every county
The wheat lias begun to move to sea
board. Fruit continues plentiful. Grapes
are ripe, in manv localities.. '

Thanks.
The fire engine will need to be shipped

generously offered to lend us an engine
to take her place till she returns. Mr.
Lytle the obliging agent of the Union
Pacific Co., at this place, has succeeded
in obtaining iree rates for both engines
both ways. This is very kind of all con
cerned and merits the thanks of The
Dalles fire department and of the whole
city. -
