SEPTEMBER SAYINGS-
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Grain sacks for sale at the Wasco
warehouse. tf '
Forty thousand old soldiers are at
tending the meeting of the G. A. K. in
Pittsburg.
One drunk and disorderly was up be
fore the city recorder this morning. He
got the usual fine of $5.
Mr. Whealdon had a serious runaway
Tuesday, his buggy being smashed, and
he escaping without injury more by good
luck than otherwise.
The weather took a sudden turn yes
terday ushering in the winter variety.
This morning overcoats were in demand
and the parlor stove smiled at being once
more allowed to get on to its job.
The Dalles Canning Co. held a meet
ing this afternoon and appointed a com
mittee of four to solicit subscriptions to
the stock as follows: H. J. Maier,
Hugh Chri8man, Dr. Saunders and I. J.
Norman.
Japan and Corea have made a treaty
which leaves China out in the cold.
The Oregonian sizes it up by saying that
"Japan will do the fighting and Corea
will furnish the garden-truck at the
market price."
Mrs. W. H. Groat invited a number
of young people to spend last evening at
her home and meet Miss Margaret
Crandall of Portland, who is her guest.
The evening was spent most happily,
during the early part of which they
were entertained by a musical program,
and after refreshments were served,
dancing was indulged in. The rooms were
prettily decorated, and everything was
conducive to an enjoyable evening.
The case against F. M. Bean formerly
steward of the Regulator and George M.
Home, charged with opening a letter
belonging to another, was up for trial
yesterday before TJ. S. Commissioner
Larason. There being no evidence
whatever against either of them the case
was dismissed and defendants dis
charged. This is the third time Bean
has been arrested on a trumped up
charge, and we hope he will now be
given a rest.
Judge A. L. Miller, and District At
torney Stapleton of Vancouver came up
as far as Stevenson, Skamania county,
last evening to open court. The
- sheriff came up at the same time, bring
ing a prisoner named Brizzell, charged
with the larceny of a lot of goods, valued
at $1,000, from the D. P. Sc A. N. Co.,
while in transit during the high water
last June. We are informed that he
has confessed and will plead guilty when
arraigned. ,
Ridiculously
something of interest.

Wamlc's Telephone Line.
Wamic, Or., Sept. 10, '94.
Wamic and Victor are connected by
telephone. The distance is five miles.
The wire is stretched from bluff to bluff
of White river canyon, a distance of 3800
feet. This is the best advance this part
of the country has made for a long time.
The great canyon of White river, which
separates Wamic from tht. productive
plains of Victor and Oak Grove is anni
hilated, so far as speaking is concerned.
Mr. Gordon, the proprietor and builder
of this line, is the happiest man in
Wamic today. His store at Victor is as
easy to manage in point of details, as if
it were at Wamic. Sales are telephoned
as fast as made. Now, if Dafur will
build a line from The Dalles to Dufur,
Kingsley and the Wamic country can
surely afford to connect with them.
The convenience and general profit of
such connections can not well be esti
mated. XXX.
"That Dreadful Woman."
The September number of "Tales from
Town Topics" leads off with a decidedly
strong, if somewhat racy, novelette, en
titled "That Dreadful Woman." The
adjective is evidently used in a satirical
sense, as the "woman," so far from be
ing a "dreadful" character, proves her
self something little short of a saint be
fore the story is done. The character is
one that would, perhaps, be hard to find
in real life, but the story that is told of a
good woman's endeavor and failure to
overcome the resultant effects of a doubt
ful past, and of the sublimity of the sac
rifice she makes for her lover, is as fas
cinating as it is true. The usual collec
tion of bright stories, sketches, poems
and witticisms serves to render the
September number of "Tales" a partic
ularly tempting one. Town Topics Pub

X astern Oregon Weather and Crops.
The temperature was nearly normal,
and the precipitation was slightly ex
cessive. There were three days of cool
weather, during which frosts occurred
east and south of the Blue mountains.
The sunshine was an average.
All the reports received from this sec
tion are cheerful and flattering as to the
yield of wheat and the quality and quan
tity of fruit raised. This section has
proved its adaptability to fruit culture;
Our correspondent from Milton, Uma
tilla county, states that the fruit crop is
actually too large, that the trees are

an abundance of strictly

breaking down with their heavy bur
dens. The yield of grain, while not ex
ceeding expectation, is very large.
Threshing and heading made progress
last week and the showers which oc
curred on the 1st and 2d did no damage;
threshing was retarded one or two days.
There is a weed in the wheat fields called
by some "china lettuce," which is in
ducing much comment. It grows six
feet high, and it is feared will choke out
the grain and cause much trouble in
future years. There is an abundance of
hay and straw in the country.
In the interior and eastern counties
the weather was cool several days and
heavy frost occurred on the 7th. ' Rapid
progress being made by the threshers,
and grain is yielding well up to expecta
tions. Vegetables and fruit are matur
ing rapidly. Some are cutting a third
crop of alfalfa. Since the rain meadows
have become green, so that all kinds of
stock are faring better and are in good
condition. '
