Grain sacks for sale at the Wasco
warehouse. tf
Don't forget Blind Tom at the Bald
win Opera House Monday night.
Blind Tom, the wonder of the musical
world, at Baldwin's opera house Mon
day night.
The wool is getting pretty well cleaned
out, so that there is plenty of room in
the warehouses for wheat.
A public meeting at the Salvation
Army barracks tonight. The prison
missionary, Mrs. Smith, will preside at
the meeting. This will take the place
of the holiness meeting announced last
night.
There was quite a heavy rain in the
section between Bake Oven and Prine
ville Wednesday, just where it will do
lots of good by starting the grass, and
can do no harm, as there is but little
grain raised there.
The planing mill and box factory be
longing to the Oregon Lumbering Com
pany at Baker City, were destroyed by
fire last week. Loss $25,000. The same
company owns a mill at Hood River and
another at Chenowetb, Wash.
We have heard several persons ex
press the opinion that the remains of
Emil Schutz should be brought here for
interment. It is probable that some
time this will be done, as he has many
friends here who will not soon forget
him.
Jos. H. Warner was examined by Dr.
Hollister and Judge Blakeley yesterday
afternoon and pronounced insane. He
has an idea that he is possessed of vast
wealth and issues checks of large denom
inations to those who come near him.
He will be taken to Salem tomorrow.
, Hood River ought to have quite a
number of carloads of apples to ship
this fall. Last year about thirty car
loads were shipped and there should be
two or three times as many this year.
Next year thousands of young trees will
yield their first crop and then that sec
tion will begin to flourish. With $75,000
worth of strawberries and more than
that amount of apples for shipment, the
people down that way ought to be
reasonably happy.
Deputy TJ. S. Marshal Murphy received
a warrant from Portland yesterday com
manding him to arrest F. M. Bean and
Home, charged with opening mail
belonging to another. This is a contin
uation of the case tried here the other
day before Commissioner Huntington.
It strikes us that Bean had better
capitulate, the woman seems determined
to have him and under the circumstances

he had better marry than go to the pen
itentiary though in this particular case
we don't blame him for taking the latter
alternative. Some things are worse
than being shut up for ten years.
Insane.
Dr. Brosius and E. S. Olinger came up
from Hood River on the local' today
bringing with them a Mrs. Turner, who
has suddenly become insane. The un
fortunate lady came from Portland about
five weeks ago. She is not violent but
has several separate and distinct delu
sions, the most harmful of which is that
she must deliver a lecture on some sub
ject she knows not what. It is thought
a short treatment will restore her mental
balance, and she will be taken to Salem
along with Mr. Warner, who was, de
clared insane yesterday, by Sheriff
Driver tomorrow. Mrs. Turner claims
to have a son at Woodville, in Jackson
county. " "
Blind Tom In Town.
The many admirers of Blind Tom,
who were shocked by the report that he
was lost in the Johnstown disaster will
be glad to learn that the report was un
founded, and that; Blind Tom is well and
doing well. He will delight large audi
ences at the Madison Street Theater Oc
tober 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th. He is
as interesting as ever, and all who have
heard him should hear him again, and
those who have neyer heard him will
lose a rare treat if they fall to attend
his wonderful recitals. The Conserva
tor, Chicago, 111.

THE MARKETS.
Friday, Sept. 7. There has been but
little change in the business situation
during the week, and prices. of staples
remain steady. Sugar is stronger with a
tendency towards higher prices. -
The provision market is active with
quotations unvarying. Country produce
of all kinds is abundant and prices cor
respondingly low. Potatoes bring 50 to
75 cents per 100 pounds, prices being
governed by quality. There is a prom
ise of better prices, if railroad charges
will permit shipments to the East, where
the shortage is heavy.
The market is overstocked with fruit
and prices are not named. Peaches
range from 25 to 50 cents per box.
Apples and pears from 25 to 40 cents.
The melon crop is an excellent one
both as to quality and quantity, the
abundance bringing price to a very low
point. A great many melons have been
shipped, relieving the glut on the local
market, but they are at prices where
everybody can eat them.
There is no change in poultry, broilers
bring from $1.25 to $1.50 and old fowls
from $2 to $2.25 per dozen.
The meat market is at bedrock prices.
Beef $1.50 to $2 per hundred. Mutton
the same and pork 3 cents all gross
weights. .
The wheat season has hardly com
menced here. The mills are paying 32
cents per bushel for chofbe grade, but
the market price for the crop will not go
beyond 30 cents, while some has. been
sold as low as 28. The West Coast
Trade says :
"The wheat situation is still a matter
of conjecture. Buyers are very reticent
about giving information before the
market fairly opens, and the price re
mains unchanged, with no prospect of a
raise unless something unforeseen should
arise. The war in the East does not
seem to affect the market very materially,
yet a Blight rise was noticed in the
European market a few days ago, which
very soon subsided and carried with it
some of the strength the market had
manifested during former reverses. , One
of the hopeful features, however, is the
resumption of charters, which 'shows
that it matters not what those who have
a corner on the crop propose to do, a
considerable amount of Washington
wheat will find its way into the foreign
market. It is reasonably certain that a
large per cent of the" crop will leave first
hands very soon after it is threshed, and
as the storage capacity is not sufficient
on the Pacific coast to hold the entire
crop tributary to it, the movement of a
portion at least to the centers of con
sumption is the only alternative. The
decline in European markets leaves the
local situation without encouragement,
and there is nothing to do but watch
and wait."
The wool season is about over but
prices remain unchanged, running from
7 to 9 cents, according to grade. Most
of the clip has been shipped.
Short Petitions.
Three of the Cascade Locks saloon
keepers, McDonough, Mclllaney and
Williams, having their applications for
licenses before the county commissioner
are in rather uncomfortable shape. The
law requires that the petitions shall con
tain a number of names equal to a
majority of the legal votes cast at the
last election, and greater than. any re
monstrance filed against it. There are
no remonstrances in the above cases but
the petitions do not contain sufficient

names to comply with the law. This
will compel them to get up new petitions,
republish them and make new applica
tion. As the petitions have to be adver
tised four weeks and the present licenses
have about expired it is causing con
siderable annoyance.
Dufur Doings.
After a few weeks of absence I will
again resume business in the way of
taking down the items and happenings.
There has been several quite heavy
rains which it was feared would injure
the grain in the stacks but fortunately
has as yet done no great damage. All
we ' want is dry weather until after
threshing. ... :. .
Everybody and his -neighbor. is busy
heading or threshing and ' the yield is
heavy.
- Messrs. S. B. Johnston and J. A.
Stevens have purchased a new threshing
machine.
Miss Blanche Dufur is very sick at
her home.
We are pleased to note that Mr. T. C.
Tuttle is once more about the streets.
The little children of Mr. Alvm Quinn
have been sick but from late reports are
better. .

Rev. Jenkins will preach in the IT. B.

" Mrs. J. C. Johnston has gone to Port
land for a visit to her father, Mr. and
Mrs. L. Klinger.
Mr. and Miss Neal have returned from
their berrying trip to the summit.
Mr. L. B. Thomas is teaching the 8
Mile school where he taught in the
spring, which shows L. B. needs no
recommendation.
The Dufur school commences Monday
Sept. 17th, instead of the 3d, as was
first intended, with Prof. Frazier in his
usual place and Edith Peabody in the
primary department.
Bicycles seem to be a thing of the
past, and the latest fad in Dufur at
present is everyone is . getting himself a
new dog.
Sunday night there was quite a serious
accident. Henry Pitman, Henry Hin-
man and several other men were going
to the threshing machine, when - from
some unknown cause the horses became
unmanageable and. ran . away, tipping
the wagon over. The box fell on Mr.
Pitman's hand, breaking it between the
wrist and first joint of the thumb and
dislocating the wrist. ' He was brought
to the drug store where Dr. Deitrich
attended to his injuries. This makes
one more for the already full Calender of
accidents of the past year.
