The county commissioners have been

Petition of Geo. Warner and others

Trade Possibilities.
Prof. Garner has made a big success
of his monkey business. He writes from
Africa that he has succeeded beyond the
extreme of his expectations in learning
and recording the language of the sim
ians. He has written down phonetically
about 200 words, and thinks there are
about 30 words that he has not succeeded
in catching. He has taught a chimpan
zee to say a few words in Maori, and a
gorilla to converse to the extent of 20
words in Fijian. If this be true, the
simian vocabulary must be quite as com
plete as the chinook, and since that
mongrel language was sufficient for the
carrying on of an annual commerce in
volving millions of dollars, there is a
reasonable expectation that within a few
years the thrifty Yankee, trader will be
carrying on trade relations with the
monkeys of Africa and South America,
and swapping rum, tobacco, beads and
ornaments for the products of the forest
and the jungle. It is also within the
range of possibilities that the king of
the chimpanzee may yet be received at
the court of St. James. Spokane Re

Fine Prospects.

The weather conditions for the past

Hugh Farmer is running a switch en

Ben Wilkes will do the hostlin' act a
few days in The Dalles, as seniority has
dislodged his habitation at Viento.
Engine 379, lately overhauled, and as
signed to the Sandy for service, arrived in
The Dalles yesterday. The same crew
will return with 374 for the back shops.
Floyde Wyres is laying off for a short
time. However be contemplates a visit
to California, so we are told, that being
his former home.
Mr. De Huff has moved into the office
building, a very desirable residence.
The large shade trees and beautiful
grass front render it quite pleasant in
deed. Frank Adams says he has a job of
coal heaving he appreciates very much
on engine 381. One tank of coal will
not do him, he must have two tanks
each way, and is consoled to thinks he
earns his "chicken feed."
Ben Wilkes seems ffc be very much
liked by all the boys, as' they always
help nim (out of a job), or in other
words, he usually seems to have a verv
desirable job, as someone is always after
it. However, he takes it quite cool,
evidently expecting to get revenge some
time.
Rastus Young amused himself some
evenings ago with a toy bean shooter.
He would quietly await an opportunity
to find a closely-fitting spot on some of
the boy's jeans and send a well-directed
little missle to set them squirming and
rubbing. Rastus finally found it to his
interest to retreat or throw up his hands.
We learned, however, he retreated and
took to the foot hills at a gait that would
astonish the gray squirrels he used to
chase in the Buckeye state.
Divorces are not confined alone to
people, as it would seem from the ap
pearance at the pump house, a corner of
which has been occupied jointly by Cat
Tony and frau, and their feline progeny.
The torn cat is at this writing in sole
possession. The boys were very much
amused the other day at the mother cat,
who was seen to carry away her whole
brood of little kittens to a hydrant by
the side of the round house. One by
one she took them in her mouth and de
posited them in their new quarters un
til she had them all moved. It is not
known whether she was induced to do
this in a spirit of jealousy, or not. Per
haps the lord of the manor had been un
duly stern to the kittens, but whatever
the cause, she had abandoned him and
took her little family with her.
It is a well-deserved victory for them.
, The way they throw their entire stock
before the public, they cannot help but
sell lots of goods, as we saw with our
own eyes goods going out at 50 per cent,
less than they can be bought elsewhere.
We have learned that there is no less
than 20 cases on the wav of assorted

.Foe Sylvester.
Joe Sylvester, smiling, handsome,
irrepressible, is in the city again with
his advertising wagon, fine horses and
greyhound. Joe is a frequent visitor to
The Dalles, where he is always wel
comed by a large circle of friends. He
is a native of Hungary, but declares he
is an American at heart. His hair is as
long and fine as a woman's, which he
says is for advertising purposes, and
whatever may be said about "long
haired" men, etc., the locks of Absa
lom are a pretty feature of Nature's
adornments. When Joe mounts the
seat of his varnished; sign-bedecked
advertising wagon, cracks his whip over
the heads of his spirited double team,
the sight is a very pretty one and at
tracts general attention.
Funeral of Mrs Field.
Rev. O. D. Taylor will conduct the

the home of her son, Adelbert Field, at

afternoon. She will be buried at the
Odd Fellows' cemetery at 3 :30 p. m.
New Fish Boat.
The old scow Garfield has been re
modelled into a fishing boat, and will
soon be taken to her fishing grounds.
The fish wheel is the largest on the river
of any fish boat, being 16 feet wide by
30 feet in diameter. This has 3,000
pounds of iron in it, and 1,700 feet of
lumber. It is so adjusted that it will
quent rains, with more or less sunshine,
have caused the grain to make fine root
and stool well. The last few warm days
have had a stimulating influence on it,
and it is pushing ahead with vigor very
satisfactorily. In Borne localities cut
worms are reported, but in no case have
they done serious injury. Present indi
cations point to the fact that these
counties mentioned will produce the
largest yield of grain ever gathered in
any former year.
In Klickitat valley the season lias
been more backward, but for all that its
proauct win more than average up on
its former record. The fall and s nrin it
B
sowing is looking first-class.
One thing worth remembering is that
the present promises a fabulous wheat
product never equalled before. What
the result will be, will be determined
later on.
The fruit interests are very encourag
ing, and the outlook is full of promise
for an abundant growth of all kinds.
