This is another of those days when a
buggy ride inside of the street sprinkler
would be enjoyable. j
The local passenger arrived in on time
today, the first time since the flood
that is the flood in the Columbia.
Quite a party will leave here tomorrow
for Hood River, and from there will go
to Cloud Cap, and possibly to the top of
the mountain.
A email lot of wool was sold this morn
ing at 10 cents. This is the highest
price paid this season, and has only been
paid once before.
The Dalles is shipping from one to
two carloads of melons daily. Many of
them go to Portland but the bulk of the
trade is with points East.
Trout lake has suddenly come into
prominence, as the most pleasant and
available spot for a summer outing that
can be reached from The Dalles.
On and after September 1st, 1894, the

Rita, the five-year-old daughter of
County Auditor Simeon Bolton of Klick
itat county, Wash., fell in a well yester
day and was drowned. Mr. Bolton is a
brother of Mr. Virgil Bolton of this city
A. G. Phelps, our promising young
townsman, who graduated from the law
department of Michigan University last
spring, has been appointed by District
Attorney Jayne as his deputy for Wasco
county.
The grass and stubble everywhere is
dry as tinder and hunters and camping
parties should use every precaution to
prevent fires getting started. The dry
grass makes excellent fall pasture and is
worth whole lots of money.
That dreadful man . Blandford says
that if be was at the seaside, he would
smoke his cigar without troubling him
self about Falb's tidal wave. We don't
wonder at it. If he keeps on putting up
this kind of weather, the tidal wave will
be hankered after.
Several wagon loads of wheat were
. brought in from Klickitat county today
It sold for thirty cents a bushel. In
talking with the gentleman who brongl t
it in he told us the grain was not turn
ing out so well as was anticipated. The
same reports come from the Dufur
neighborhood, and the newsnaoer re-
PEASE
ports from the Willamette valley are
to the same effect, though in the latter
locality the falling off is attributed to
the aphis. The grain in this neighbor
hood is remarkably plump, and will
rank as first-class. ,
Those who have bills to present to the
county court, which meets Wednesday,
September 5th, will remember to hand
them to the clerk by the evening of the
4th, so that they can be put on the
docket. If they are not so presented
they will go over for the term.- In other
words, will be put off for two months.'
Do not forget this, and then kick at the
court and clerks, for the rule will be en
forced.
To Our Visitors.
Wb regret exceedingly that such ex
tremely hot weather has greeted our
reverend visitors, and assure them that
if it was possible for the mayor, com
mon council or citizens to vary the tem
perature for the cooler it would be done.
Had the visit been put off till say Dec
ember this state of affairs would not
have existed. As it is we are one and
all glad to see them, and unanimous in
the hope that they will have better
weather for their .' work and carry
away with them as favorable an
impression of The Dalles, as they have
already created in'it. There is no one to
blame but Weather Observer Blanford,
but unfortunately we can't .discharge
him.
To Whom It May Concern.

An Old Wy BUI.
Yesterday CoU Sinnott unearthed an
old freight bill of the O. R. & N. dated
Feb. 12, 1864. In those days freight was
charged for by measurement instead of
weight. The articles are suggestive of
the trade in ' those days, consisting of
four kegs of brandy, four boxes of eggs,
two gunny bags of bacon, six barrels of
whiskey, and a pipe of liquors. The
whole lot measured 119 feet, and cost
from . San Francisco $64.50, the charge
from Portland being $36, or about $18
per ton, as against $8 at the present
date. The bill is in a remarkably good
state of preservation, in spite of the
thirty years that have passed since the
colonel paid it. The ink was good, for
it is as fresh looking as if made yester
day. - The freight came up on the
steamer Wilson G. Hunt.
We have again on hand
an abundance of strictly
dry FIR WOOD, -which
we -will sell at the lowest
rates.
