There nro several barrels of fiour left
in tho Moody warehouse, sent here for
the sufferers of the 18!)1 fire in The
Dalles, which is still in the hands of tho
relief committee appointed at that time
to distribute it. This flour is being de

loft should be at onco disposed of.
There aro cases of destitution in the

than usual in providing relief for desti

flour remains undistributed. The relief
committee should wind up their business

bursed given over to the charitable

Wasco county is unexcelled for raising
grapes, nnd both quantity and quality
will average alongside of the famous
grape-producing belts of New York and
California. Grapes require little moist
ure, and tho long dry summer season
make tho labor of raising them less than
in other places. On this nccount the
building of trellises is dispensed with, as
the yield is not injured by growing un
supported on the ground. Tho danger
of mildew is very rare, as tho crapes
ripen and are garnered far in advance of
the fall rains. .Mr. C. Hecht, who has
been a prominent wine-maker of Cal
ifornia, believes that this is as good a
location as any that could be selected
and has about decided to remain in
Wasco county. He linds a good market
for wines and believes they should bo
manufactured here instead of imported.

Whist is the general rule of tho
Wednesday evening club, but every few
weeks there is an exception to tho rule,
and after the usual number of games are
played, a banquet is in order. It is
needless to say that the exception is
quite as acceptable as the rule, since
every one stands an equal show of mak
ing a good score in the former. Last
evening was anpointedas banquet night,
and Mr. Kellar evidently did his best,
for everyone voted it the best they have
yet had. The club was entertained last
i evening by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hilton,
j and although it is termed the Union
j Whist club, several young people who
are not elibible to join tho union were
I invited. Judge Bradshaw won the first
prize, a pair of vases, and Mrs. J. C.
Hostetler the booby, a handkerchief

ary and malarial diseases. Thev find
that each of tho places visited bv "thnm
have ample water facilities, but that
Baker City's artesian water was tho
purest and best. They were non-committal
as regards what thev will rctiort
as to The Dalles, bnt it was evident they
were very favorably i in pressed bv their
examination and thought it necessary to
make a second trip to tho asylum sito to
confirm them in their good opinions.
They found a largo body of pure spring
water with MO feet fall close at hand, and
tho entire land area was covered with
rich alluvial soil. A largo bearing
orchard was also a feature of the
grounds, while tho facilities for railroad
and river transportation wero excellent.
Another point in favor of Tho Dalles was
the branch asylum being located near
the parent institution, and that branch
asylums are invariably located within a
radius of ICO miles from the main one.
Temperature and climatic conditions
favor The Dalles as the proper site, there
being no great extremes of temperature,
such as are found in all the other places
named.
A decision is expected next Tuesday.
