Yesterday was another scorcher but
about sundown a fresh breeze swept up
from the Columbia, bringing with it
considerable sand and dust, bat it was
none the less welcome. It has remained
with us most of the day, and we hope
will continue to do so.
"Are you a judge of reprobates?" said

The weather bureau has' Jsent out" for
publication in Eastern Oregon ,"a" state

wherein that would interest people up
this way where climatic conditions are
radically different from those on the
western side of the Cascades.

The usual quantity of wool, about
sixty tons, were taken down by the
Regulator this morning. One would
think that the ware houses would soon
be emptied, but so far what has gone
can hardly be missed. Just why all our
wool should find its way east by starting
west is a mystery. We understand some
of it goes to Galveston, Texas, and thence
by steamer to Boston.
Some thirty members of the fire com
panies are pledged to attend the tourna
ment at Oregon City, and will leave here
either Saturday or Sunday, Sept 1st or
2nd. The meeting promises to be a
fine one, with teams from all parts of
the state, and we are glad to know that
our city ia to be represented. It would
have been much to our discredit had we
not been represented, for Oregon City
eent a fine team here.

Some mild-eyed poet described the dan

the description itia quite true that the
thistle ghosts, haunt the farmer. -
Justice. Davis has been annoyed for
two or three weeks by a lady who -seems
determined to have the steward of the
Regulator arrested for breach of promise,
or words to that effect, the offense being
committed on the serial plan, and ex
tending over a period of three years.
The justice very properly refused to
entertain the complaint, as the lady re
sides in the city of Portland, and there
the promises were made and alas !
broken.
Some of the sidewalks are in a fearful
condition, owing to the nails being left
sticking up in the air for an inch or two.
If it is impossible to compel property
owners to have the nails driven down,
the council should by ordinance provide
for having the sidewalks lifted up to a
level with the top of the nails. Prop
erty owners may not be aware of the
fact that should .someone injure a foot,
or receive other injuries by reason of
these nails, that a pretty bill of dam
ages could be collected from them.

Market Report.
Friday, Aug. 24th. There is a quiet,
steady tone to business in nearly all de
partments of the merchandise trade,
with conditions not materially changed.
The feeling is that the settlement of the
tariff will help conditions somewhat by
ending the uncertainty that has pre
vailed so long, and thus inducing more
activity in general business.
The market for dry goods is steady,
and' a fair business is done. '
In groceries there is a fair movement
with steady prices.
There is a sluggish tone to the green
and dried fruit market, with downward
tendency.
Produce in general is in large supply
and prices nominal. Potatoes are
quoted at 75c per lOOlbs.
Hay quotations vary according to the
disposition of buyers. The market
ranges from $7.50 to $8 per ton for baled
wheat hay; timothy $10 to $12 per ton
baled.
The poultry market is exceedingly
dull and prices' range nominally from
$1.40 to $2 per dozen.
The market for eggs is not attractive
aa the demand is limited on account of
the warm weather, and 10 to 11 cents
per dozen is the ranee paid in trade.
There is a complaint made that the
market is nearly bare of gilt edge buttt-r,
and it is firm with a tendency to ad
vance. The cereal market at home and abroad
is unconditionally quiet and dull. The
Prairie Farmer claims that the crop for
1894 will be 500,000,000 bushels in the
United States. It is estimated that the
world's visible supply 174.400,600
bushels'against 178,074,000 for the same
date the previous year. In Europe and
Asia the crop reports show a much
better average than last year, with the
exception of Roumania and Bulgaria,
whose averages have fallen off some
what. In the Argentine country the re
ports received of their harvest, which is
over and on the market, the crop is the
largest ever gathered and the quality
is first class. After a careful
study of the breadstuff, question the
Clapp company; speak of it. aa specu
lation and bullish in sentiment." East
ern millers are' buying wheat without
8 tint, while there ia no immediate en
couragement for any favorable advance
tnere is a slight bullish tendency. Our
own local market is much depressed and
buyers are offering only 3Q to 32 cents
per bushel. ...
The wool market has nearly exhausted
its stock on storage, and what few lots
that are disposed of realize to the seller
S4 to 10 cents per lb. according to grade,
weight and condition of fleece.
. His Black Bilk Pants.
A celestial who is engaged in, ironing
the" foiled, garments of his white
brethren, ; came . into our office this
morning, for, the purpose of. investing
two-bits ofbis hard earned money in
second hand papers. ..To j' what base

though we wish to say right now that
though we get a quarter of a cent apiece
for them, that the money return is but a
trifle compared to the value we receive
before they leave us. But this is all a
digression ; what we wanted to say was
that this celestial had on a pair of black
pants made of silk and gorgeous beyond

the side. He was awfully proud of them,
and at our request turned himself around
so that we could admire the beauty of
the combination." They were long
waisted in the back, and as the top
only came to the usual height the lower
end of the waist reached nearly to his
knees, giving them an appearance of
empty fullness that was simply killing.
They were cut over a pattern used by his
grandmother's aunt when cloth was
cheap, but the Chinaman was inside of
them and happy.

A young man named Joe Hooker while
on his way from Goldendale to a sheep
camp on the Big Klickitat, was thrown
from his' horse by its falling. He was
not hurt in the fall but as the horse re
gained its feet it kicked, striking hin on
the leg and breaking both bones close to
the ankle. Knowing he could get no
help, lie bandaged his leg and then after
two hours' limping around succeeded in
catching his horse, and then rode five
hours before he reached aid which he
found at Mr. William Gilmore's, who
hitched up a team- and took him to
Goldendale. '
