SEPTEMBER SAYINGS-
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Bran and shorts (Diamond m ills) $13 a
ton at Joles, Collins & Co.'s 2w
Anita captured the trotting race 2:20
class at Portland yesterday.
C. P. Eeald has been appointed dep
uty district attorney at Hood River,
and E. M. Shutt at Antelope.
Members of the official board of the
M. E. church are requested to meet in
lecture room this evening. Important
business will come before the board.
Threshers are all busy, and the com
plaint is made that there are not enough
of them. It will take those in Sherman
county two months steady work we are
told to finish their work.
The weather today has been beauti
ful, notwithstanding the peculiar wea
ther signals this morning, which, prop
erly interpreted, indicated heavy pre
cipitation and high winds.
We sent Tom Hudson to San Francisco
the other day, and then he backed out
and refused to go. He is still here and
so we wash our hands of him, and he
can go or stay just as he pleases.
The sheriff today sold 160 acres of land
situated in Hood River valley to satisfy
a judgment a gainst O. D. Taylor. The
property was bid in by Oscar Freden
burg for $125, which is about ten per
cent of its value.
The sand bar east of town is out of
sight today, the gentle west wind whoop
ing it up until the air is filled with it.
Five minutes after the rain ceases and
the wind commences to blow, the sand
is dry and ready for business.
The parties who put up their weather
signals last night carried their joke too
far in cutting the halyards. Besides an
examination of the articles tied to the
pole shows that in hanging the lower
one the parties committed the crime of
fratricide.
Hon. E. O. McCoy is building a ware
house at the mouth of the Deschutes,
and will have a good road graded to it.
This will direct considerable of the
wheat shipments from Biggs, and will
eventually become the shipping point
for the western part of Sherman county.
A telephone line from The Dalles to
Dnfur would undoubtedlv
people of Wamic and the county south
oi us to taKe steps toward connecting
with it. It would prove of m-eat mn.
venience, would cost but little, and
should be built.
Captain H. C. Coe and L. E. Morse of
Hood River, who have been in Sherman
county for several days, arrived here
PEASE
last night and left for home this morn
ing. The captain puachased a spendid
pair of horses at a very low price, and
says that when wheat hauling is through
that horses can be bought in Sherman
county at almost any price. Wheat is
beginning to arrive at Biggs at the rate
of from 1,500 to 2,000 sacks a day. The
sand has about captured the place, and
two teams are busy trying to keep the
road at the mouth of the canyon and
around the station passable.
Make an Exhibit.
Tuesday, October the 9th, the sixth
annual exhibition of the Second Eastern
Oregon Agricultural Society will com
mence here. Fifteen hundred dollars
will be given away in premiums for agri
cultural products, which ought to induce
a good exhibit. Local fairs are of great
importance in advertising the resources
of the country, and the farmers and
stock growers should vie with each other
in making a first class exhibit. The
fruit display this year ought to be well
worth seeing, and will be it our orcbard
ists make any concerted effort. Our ex
perience has been that people will not
bring in their products, but when they
see someone elses, they invariably re
mark, "Why, I could have beaten that!"
Now the thing to do this year ia to bring
in your exhibits, and make the pavilion
a bower of beauty.
For Early Closing.
A movement has begun in the valley
towns and Astoria looking to the early
closing of the business houses. There is
really no reason why business houses
should keep open as long as they do.
Beginning at 7 o'clock in the morning
the stores are kept open until 8 or 9
o'clock at night, or from thirteen to
fourteen hours. There Is just so much
business to be done, and if the stores
would adopt a closing time as the banks
do, it would all be done within that
time. For a few months in the sum
mer, perhaps, the early closing system
would not be practicable, but there is
no reason why it should not be adopted
during the winter.
Fast Work.
The man Brizzall of whom we spoke
yesterday as being taken to Stevenson to
answer to the charge of larceny in steal
ing about $1000 worth of goods from the
D. P. & A. N. Co. last June, was
arraigned yesterday, pleaded guilty,
waived time for sentence, was sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary, was
brought up on the Regulator by the
sheriff of Skamania county last night,
left for Walla Walla by the 11 o'clock
train and this morning is known only by
number in the penitentiary? which is
exceedingly quick work.
Slaaghter Hemse Burned.
An alarm of fire shortly after 9 o'clock
last night was caused by the burning of
the Columbia Packing Co.'s slaughter
house, situated about a mile west of town,
Quite a number of people went out to
the fire but when the alarm was given
it had gotten such headway that nothing
could be done towards saving it. The
meats from yesterday's killing were con
sumed, with quite a quantity of hides
and tallow. The loss is estimated at
$3000; insurance $2000.

DAURA ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Borne
Pithy Kemarks From
Clever Correspondent.
Very
A lot of silly people of both sexes,
who ought to be enclosed in a hermet
ical lunaticaboose are going to write up
woman suffrage soon, Bill Nye lately
gave us an extension dose on the same
subject. His remarks were too sweep
to hold much force, but perhaps that is
the reason Billy generalized. Although
I was always a great admirer of Billy's,
I have felt rather suspicious of him
since. Whether Mr. Nye has his eye on
the presidential chair in 1896, or
whether he is fearful of becoming a
widower, or has a notion of migrating to
Salt Lake, I cannot tell. I have not the
opportunity of searching for the darkey
in the fence, but feel sure be is there.
Any way I think it is a pity Billy
should have wasted his sweetness on so
much desert air, for not one-fifth of the
women in the United Sates will ever
know what a beautiful tribute he paid
to their wing-like tendencies and all-
around cleverness.
I have labored under the impression
that women have voted, more or less,
indirectly, ever since the domestic ar
rangement in Eden. I have no doubt
Mrs. Nye has had considerable experi
ence in indirect voting ; most married
women have. If they don't they gen
erally get a divorce, or at least run
away with a better looking man.
Woman in her natural element is no
doubt an angel, but a large majority of
her sex knows nothing of politics, cares
less, and has no earthly use for suffrage.
They can neither eat, wear, nor hen
peck it ; neither can they very well sit
on it in that much-disputed middle
ground, the street car. If the "bache
lor girl" (ho, by the way, has been
granted an extension of time ten whole
years), or the hay widow wants to vote
she can enjoy "the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen," by casting the matrimonial lariat
over the head of one of those monstrosi
ties that encases itself in the "slippered
pantaloon. For my part, were I given
the freedom of the ballot I would wrap
it with some of my neglected 1st of Jan
uary resolutions and bury them with
the mouldering memories of other days,
and if in "the sweet bye and bye"' pro
hibition, or the restriction of foreign
immigration should compose a part of
some party platform, I would resurrect
my buried privilege and take my place
in the procession to the polls.

SHE HAD NOTHING TO WEAR.
Bat Owned Costly Frocks and Silk Stock
ings by the Hundreds.
"What do you think of a woman who
was the owner of eigiity-nine dresses
of the very finest of silk, velvet and
other expensive dress goods, one hun
dred and six skirts of every conceiv
able texture and fabric, one hundred
and fourteen pairs of silk hose, nine
teen rich and costly shawls, and under
garments of the finest linen by the
trunkful, and yet had never worn a
single one of these dresses, - skirts,
shawls, undergarments, or pairs of
hose," said a well-known woman to a
Boston Herald man. "It seems incred
ible, but these thing's were some of the
articles of wearing apparel that be
longed to Miss Johanna Farnham, of
Milton, N. H., although no one ever
knew it but herself until she died. She
wore the cheapest clothing all her life,
and her common remark was that she
had nothing to wear.
"Miss Farnham was eighty years old
when she died Although she went
from Milton to Boston when she was a
young girl and lived there until her
death, she aYways called Milton her
home. She was for years an employe
of Boston hotels and made no .intimate
acquaintances. When she died it was
not known that she had even enough
to give her more than decent burial,
but in her old trunk in her room at the
hotel were found five thousand dollars
in gold securities, a bank book showing
that she had nearly two thousand dol
lars on deposit in a savings bank, and
a key wrapped in a pieee of paper. On
the paper was written: 'This key will
unlock a trunk in my Cousin. Ann's
house in Milton.' The trunk was found
there and the key unlocked it. It was
packed full of such things as I have
mentioned and contained another key
wrapped in a paper, with information
on the paper that this key would un
lock another trunk at another place.
That trunk was found with a like re
sult, with a third key for a third trunk
in still another place. This went on
until twenty large trunks belonging
to the eccentric dead woman had been
found. Besides the wearing apparel
spoken of, valuable chinaware, jewel
ry and silverware, large quantities of
the very finest table and bed linen, the
best English table cutlery and many
pieces of bric-a-brac were found in the
trunks. This precious storage made a
load that it took two yoke of oxen to
haul out of Milton. Miss Farnham's
heirs agreed to sell the whole of these
valuables by auction in Boston, and
they netted more than ten thousand
dollars nowhere near "their actual
value."
