AUGUST AUGURINGS-
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Mr. Frank Fulton of Sherman county
is in the city.
.The special with the Western Union
superintendents arrived here this after
noon. Spokane is making an effort to have
the next irrigation congress meet in
that city.
It is estimated that California has
oyer 10,000,000 bushels of wheat held
over from the crop of 1893.
The first wheat of this season to find
its way to market was "shipped from
Walla Walla to Portland Monday.
None has been received here yet.
The president has written a pathetic
letter to Congressman Wilson, sym
pathizing with him on his defeat by the
senate. .Who will write to the
president?
The Regulator brought up a large
number of passengers and about fifty
tons of freight, ten of which were for La
Grande merchants. She took down
something more than fifty tons of wool
this morning.
"One more unfortunate weary of
; breath," and not to bo wondered at
either, considering the combination of
beer and cheese with which it was
flavored, was before the city recorder
this morning. Result, $5."
C. J. Mulkey, who was convicted of
smuggling, has applied to the president
for a pardon. The papers in the case
have been forwarded to District Attor
ney Murphy for his recommendation
concerning the application.
Hunters in the Willamette valley say
there is no necessity for protecting the
Denny pheasant. That they are per
fectly able to take care of themselves,
not allowing he hunters to get near
them, and taking to the center ot the
big gram fields when disturbed.
Times are remarkably dull in legal
circles, bat when they begin to get bet
- ter the fraternity will reap a harvest.
There are hundreds of mortgages that
are not foreclosed, simply because the
holders are afraid the properties will
not sell for enough to pay the mort
gages and expenses.
Messrs. Sinnot & Fish - have had the
opera house repaired, and it is now
about ready for business. The flood
caused the center of the floor to lift up
and as the Band washed under the sup
ports it remained that wav. These have

had the sand removed from under them,
and the floor leveled, and everything is
in place except the stage. .
There is a dearth of news today but
as the county clerk has promised to give
us tomorrow the names of parties who
have ' taken out a marriage license, we
see plain sailing for our local page for
one day at least. In the present ocean
of dullness a real live wedding notice
ought to jnake a run on the paper.
Mr. Geo.' Reed has left with us some
specimens of vegetable peaches. They
are said to be a versatile vegetable, tast
ing like peaches .when pickled, like
mushrooms when they are fried and can
pass muster for almost anything, the
flavor depending entirely on the manner
of cooking. They look like a cucumber
that was not on to its job, and smell
like the hired man might like them.
Judge Bellinger has made another
ruling in the whiskey-to-Indians cases,
and will not let those arrested on the
charge be proceeded against by informa
tion, but insists that they must be in
dicted before they can be tried. He
adds that the state authorities are per
fectly able to take care of these cases.
All of which is no doubt true, but the
state officers are not anxious to saddle
expense on the different counties by tak
ing care of Uncle Sam's wards. When
they are made citizens the state courts
will look out for them.
If there is a city in the whole broad
land with as villainous a lot of Bidewalks
as we have we would like to know where
it is. The walks themselves are all
right but down each and every one
run three or four rows of nails, that
have their heads sticking out of the
wood from half an inch to two inches.
This Btate of affairs should not be
allowed - to exist, for not only are these
projecting nails a nuisance, but they are
actually dangerous. Now let the prop
erty owners follow the example of this
article and bit the nail on the bead.
Jack, the Window Smasher.
Coxey, the distinguished guest of the
city, who is, serving out a sentence of
fifty-five days for breaking the windows
in the Umatilla House, has been work
ing steadily since his incarceration, and
had succeeded in gaining the confidence
of his watchers. For nearly a month he
has been a trusty, and has behaved in
an exemplary manner. - Last night,
however, he fell from grace, for some
how he managed to get a jag of beer
aboard, and in the night he took his
boots and smashed all the windows in
the city jail he could reach. He will
have a chance to serve oat another fifty
day sentence. . '

Crop Bulletin.
The following is the report of the
Oregon State Weather Service for the
week ending Monday, Aug. 13th, 1894 :
Normal temperature conditions pre
vailed duriDg the week. The precipita
tion was below the normal, except in
Baker "bounty, where some beneficial
showers occurred. The sunshine was
possibly below the average.
The yields of fall grain are very satis
factory. At Endersby, in Wasco
county, a correspondent states the crop
is the largest for years. Many large
yields are . reported from the Walla
Walla valley. In some sections of
Wasco county some grain is reported as
shriveled, consequently not first-class;
but the berry, as a rule, is plump. The
grain crop generally is what farmers ex
pected, and the damage by the grain
aphis is slight and confined to localities.
The barley crop ' is accordingly good.-
Oar correspondent from Heppner, Mor
row county, states that there will be an
abundant crop of wheat and barley.
Harvesting is being advanced ; the head
ers are running early and late. There
appears, to be some kind of sickness
among the horses, from which several
died, at Ella, Morow county. - Stock is
in good condition, and there is a good
vale for beef cattle.
In the interior and eastern counties
the fall wheat and barley crops are be
ing harvested and some early sown
spring grain is ripe enough to cut.
Grain ripened slowly, and as a conse
quence the berry is plump. No thresh
ing has yet been done. A correspond
ent from Crook county states that the
harvest will be the largest in the his
tory of the county ; bat thegrain aphis
is on all kinds of grain. Haying is well
advanced. The crop will be short in
Grant county. The crop of alfalfa will
be an average in all sections. The po
tato crop is unusually promising. All
kinds of stock are in fine condition, and
are being sold at fair prices. '
. , A Judge of More Than Law.
Mr. J. P. Mclnerny returned from
Clatsop Saturday. He tella us Judge
Bradshaw is as happy as the proverbial
clam, has gone to the seaside for a good
time and is having it. From other
sources we ' learn that the judge is the
sea lion of the beach. That when he
doffs his judicial ermine and every-day
garments, and comes out in a suit
decollete at both ends, every office holder
takes off bis hat, thinking it is Grover
himself. And when with airy tread his
sylph-like form undulates down over the
golden sands to the briny deep the
patient clam exhausts his fire extin
guisher and hunts bedrock.' And when
againet the heaving bosom of the grand
Pacific he pushes his own broad breast,
the resultant tidal wave starts all, the
dieeiples of Falb for high ground. Be
sides, there isn t on the whole coast a
mind better stored with knowledge of
the sea-girt clam than he. From roust
ing him out of bed with a stick, to open
ing his pearly mouth and preparing him
for subsequent deglutition, the judge is
an expert. He knows to the fraction of
a hair how much seasoning he requires,
and to the fragment of a second bow
long to cook him. He knows how to
eat him too, and in consequence has
gained something less than fifty pounds
in weight since he reached the shore.
The judge will return in about three
weeks or a month, and the clams will
bold high carnival at high tide to cele
brate his absence. .

MAIER & BENTON.
Reduction in Wages
The O. R. & N. Co. has issued the fol
lowing circular to its employes :
"This company has been wholly un
able to meet its operating expenses dur
ing the months preceding the recent
flood although the strictest economy has
been followed. The interruption of
traffic and the damages by the recent
flood have caused us extraordinary loss
es, and the business outlook is most de
pressing by the reason of the general low
prices prevailing, and the general stagna
tion of business everywhere. All these
causes make a redaction of operating ex
penses absolutely necessary, and it has
been decided to reduce wages as follows :
, "On all employes drawing over $100
per month, 12a per cent.
"On all employes drawing over $50, to
and including $100 per month, 10 per
cent. .
"The reduction takes effect August 13.
It is very unpleasant to reduce wages,
but the necessity existing at the present
time must be met, and employes should
cheerfully accept their portion of the
burden resting on the company. On the
other hand,' the company should and
will advance wages when improved con
ditions permit it. J. P. O'Bbiex,
- . Superintendent.
We Are Sot Afraid.
According to Professor Falb, there is
to be an upheaval of the bottom of the
Pacific some time between the 17th and
30th of this month. The result will be
a tidal wave sixty feet high. Some of
our Portland contemporaries are estimat
ing the damage that would be done in
Portland. As a matter of fact, should
a tidal . wave of the height named enter
the Columbia, it would never be felt in
Portland, as it would soon spread out
and exhaust itself. We need, not lose
any sleep on acconnt of the prediction,
as The Dalles is not afraid of any flood
since its recent experience.
