The Union Pacific wharf boat is today
resting on the sands at the steamboat
landing.
Mr. and Mrs. Stacy Shown have re
turned, and will make their home in
this city.
Mrs. Wm. Floyd left for Seattle last
night to be absent two weeks visiting
friends on the sound.
The loss of W. A. Phelps store at
Kufus, which was destroyed by fire on
Saturday, is quite an inconvenience to
to the public there.
Samples of wheat from several Watnic
fields, collected and left at this office by
Li. L McCarty, are very flattering in
deed, considering the exaggerated stor
ies in circulation concerning the de
struction ; which don't materialize.
The Oregon Portage railway company's
wharf boat, used at the foot of the cas
cade locks, is now in place for business.
Through traffic and travel by The Dalles,
Portland and Astoria Navigation com

Harvesting of winter wheat and oats
is in full blast through the Columbia
river valley. Wheat is turning out from
70 to 85 of the average except in a few
localities. While the farmers are not
enthusiastic over their crops, the ma
jority of them are not despondent.
Calmness was becalmed today at and
about The Dalles. Old Sol took advan
tage of the occasion to warm up things,
and the "is it hot enough for you" fiend
sported in ghoulish glee. In view of the
past nobody has any kick coming on the
weather side. It is very fine and might
be a great deal warmer. '
Union Pacific officials have about con
cluded to abandon the hope of any pro
fit from running the Baker, and it is
now possible "she may not turn a wheel
this summer," except in some such emer
gency as the loss of railway bridges by
sparks from the new f angled locomotives,
or other accidents along the line down
tho river. ,:
The Teacher's normal county insti

One of the eights from Cloud Cap Inn
is the egg-shaped Chitwood lake. It is
not far from Lost lake, one of the sources
of Hood river. The late S. G. Skidmore,
and Cant; A. P. Ankeny, made a trip to
these lakes, some' time in the sixties,
'and it .was Capt. Ankney's idea to pipe
the water to Portland. Chitwood lake
has no visible outlet. There is a cliff on
one side, though the other is open, and
t 100 feet from the bank is marshy.
N
, boat has ever been on the lake, and its
depth has never been sounded, though
it is believed to be very deep as it harTsay, in their judgment "it is impossible

The McCoy Ditch.
Fossil Journal. As the work of sur
veying the McCoy ditch is in progress,
it seems appropriate to give some facta
in connection with the project as found
in the location notice filed with the
clerk 'of Crook county on the 27th of
of April last. The enterprise is the con
ception of the Oregon Land, Irrigation,
Lumber and Fuel Co.; with principal
office in Portland, and incorporated un
der the act filed with the secretary of
state on February 18, 1891, providing for
the appropriation of water from the
lakes and running streams of Oregon for
irrigation. The act will make the pro
posed ditch when completed real prop
erty in Crook county. The point of di
version will be at or near the upper
rapids on DesCbutes river and its general
course will be northerly ana as far
as possible in a northwesterly direc
tion, traversing the arid lands on the
east side.
From the headgate will extend a
system of ditch or flume, or sections of
each, of the following , dimensions :
Flume, fifty feet wide, and ten feet
deep ; ditches at bottom 150 feet, at the
top 160 feet. The capacity will be sul
ficient for 200,000 inches of water.
miner's measurement, under a six inch
pressure. Six reservoirs are to be con
structed in connection with the ditch,
and provision is made for enlargement
of resources as business will justify. It
is to be known as the McCoy irrigation
ditch, of which H. McCoy is president
and G. W. McCoy secretary. Although
the survey is now in progress, it is im
possible to learn when or on what scale
the work of construction will be cyu
men cod. It has been said that the ditch
wilIA when completed, render service to
the Haystack and Agency plains country,
northwest from Prineville.

Merchants, and business ' men gener
erally, in The Dalles, inform us that
daring July and August they expect dull
times ; that while business seems inac
tive liecause the farmers are too busy to
visit the city, trade keeps up about the
same, and mail orders ' increase. The
wool business is about closed for the sea
son, and wheat will soon be on. Vegeta
bles of all kinds are plentiful and values
are a shade stronger. Cantoloupes and
watermelons are arriving from Califor
nia, per steamers principally. In dairy
produce there is a firmer tone to the
market for choice fresh butter, and deal
ers are asking steady prices for a strictly
first-class article. The demand for sum
mer fruits is steadily maintained, and
the moderate receipts tend to sustain
values. There is considerable specula
tion among dealers . as to actual condi-
i tion of the apricot id peach crop, owing
to the fact that the driers and packers
are offering unusually high rates for the
green products. Berries are in moderate
demand and prices are fairly steady.
l'oor Fire Apparatus.
How often it oecurs, wheu things are
joing along smoothly, that some particu
lar necessity for the common good is
neglected, and a fire, or a flood it may
be, comes along and destroys hundreds
and sometimes thousands . of dollars
worth of property, besides, oftentimes
sacrificing lives. In Portland recently
an entire block of buildings was destroy
ed, in the verj' heart of the citv, which
it is said might have been avoided with
a little better management. In Walla
Walla, last Saturday, the Stine bouse,
the French restaurant, ancUMeyers cigar
factory, were destroyed becauee of a de
fective steam fire engine. The engineer
was suspended, but if the statement of
Chief Engineer Blalock is true the en
gineer of the engine should be reinstated
and the council men hauled over the coals
neglect of duty. Chief Bl&lock says : for
"I was within a half block of the engine
house when the first cry of fire was
given and I ran to the engine, when I
found the gnage on the boiler marked
twenty pounds of steam. When the
engine arrived at Fourth street and
was set the guage showed ten pounds of
steam. Engineer Thornton opened the
throttle to give the fire a draught when
the steam dropped down to nothing.
The flumes of the engine were leaking
very badly and it was almost impossible
for the stoker to keep the fire going.
This goes to show that it was not the
fault of the department's paid officers,
but of the engine and proves what I
have been contending with the council
for, that the city needs more and better
apparatus. I make this statement in
justice to the paid members of the fire
department who naturally will be the
recipients of considerable censure from !
the public."

A few days ago head keeper R. Peter
son, of the Tillamook rock light-house,
set his foot on the main land at Astoria,
after a protracted exile of nine months
on the lonely sea-girt rock. Petereon
for five years has performed the duties
of light-keeper with only three persons,
two assistants and a cook; for company,
and a patch of sterile rock 75 feet square,
surrounded by the bounding main, as
his dominion. Of all the light stations
on the United States coast, Tillamook
rock is probably the most lonesome.
The rock is 83 feet in height from the
water and the tower rises 48 feet, mak
ing the J total bight 136 feet from the
ocean to the focal plane of the light.
The lamp is an immense circular five
wick, and is revolved by machinery ; a

so with the clover, it is good at any
stage of the game.
