to Moro on the 22d to help out the har

bigger job on their hands than was ex
pected last summer. Moro Observer.
Some of our farmers are beginning to
get anxious about threshincr. With all
the machines in this county, and shorter
days approaching, there appear to be
reasons for apprehension that some of
this immense crop will be late in get
ting to the river. Moro Observer.

' A Sensible Tallc.
The interests of southern Sherman
county are identical with the interests of
this sheep and stock country, and nearly
all our wool is hauled by Sherman county
teamsters, and most of the grain used
up here is bought from Sherman county
farmers. They also find a erood market
for other farm produce up in this section
Notwithstanding all this, many of these
same men, who have lived off this sheep
and wool country, have flopped over to
the populist party, and by howling for
free trade are actually cutting, or trying
to-cut, their own throats as well as
those of their neighbors. ' With free
wool our sheepmen will gradually .-be
compelled to abandon the business and
thus destroy the best market Sherman
county has for her farm produce, and
one of her chief means of obtaining a
livelihood wool hauling. Wonder if
these free traders will never awaken to a
realization of these facts? Antelope

A Small Blaze.
An alarm of fire at 8 :30 last night was
caused by a small blaze in Waggerman's
shoe shop. In cleaning up in the after
noon he had put a lot of waste paper in
the stove, and later some other papers
were placed on top of the stove to dry.
It is supposed that a live coal must have
remained from the morning fire, which
ignited the papers, and these heated the
stove sufficiently to fire the papers on
top of it. The-, alarm was given by Mr.
and Mrs. Gibson, who happened to be
passing, and Sam Thurman and J. S.
Schenck ran down . and putting their
weight against the door, pressed it open
Thurman ran back to the store and got
a. backet, of water, and before the hose
company got around the fire was over.

THE MARKETS.
Friday, Sept. 14. There is but little
to say about the market or the market
conditions. Trade haa been rather light
in all lines excepting that of the pro
vision, which . keeps its usual activity.
Prices have not materially changed in
anything from last week's report, un
less it be in eggs and poultry. The
former are firm and scarce at 15 cents
per dozen. Spring ' fowls are quite a
ready sale' at $1.50 to $2.25 per dozen,
and bid fowls find a fair sale at $2.50 to
$3.
.The butter market is better'supplied
with good choice at 45 to" 50 cents per
roll than it was a week ago.
The potato market remains steady,
and 50 to 60 cents per 100 lbs. is the
ruling price paid. .
Onions are in fair demand at $1.50
per 100 lbs.
Fruit is plentiful, and quotations vary
according to kinds and quality: Ap
ples 30 to 50 cents per box ; peacbes 25
to 75 cents per box of twenty lbs.
Grapes are in great abundance and are
offered at 2 cent per lb in moderare
quantities. We are informed that the
range in ton quantities is 1 to 1. cents
per lb. if
Tomatoes are quoted at 1 per lb.
The cereal question is a . matter of
some . discussion as to the future proba
bility of the market. Foreign advices
give no encouragement. The latest in
formation at hand leads one to come to
the conclusion that there is a shadowed
future for the wheat . market. ,'Beer
bohm, in London, estimates the world's
product August 1st at 2,427,000,000
bushels of wheat against 2,420,000,000
last year. On August 30th the govern
ment estimates pnt down the surplus of
the United States at 100,000,000 over
It will be seen that the foregoing shad
ows the future with doubt as relates to
brighter hopes. Some enthusiasts pre
dict that the reported shortage in the
corn crop will cause wheat to ascend a
higher scale in the markets. The fact
is that there is a large surplus of nearly
80,000,000 bushels carried over from last
harvest, which will augment the volume
for export this harvest year. Wisdom
suggests the folly of building on base
less hopes. -.
The Salmon Kan.
That "whatever is worth doing is
worth doing well" is a familiar proverb,
to which should be added that it is also
worth doing in time. . Last summer
when the cannery above town was over
stocked with fish, when the fishermen
had to lie idle while one of the largest
runs of salmon that ever went up the
river passed by, a cannery to be located
here was suggested and the articles of
incorporation filed. The idea was to
have the buildings and plant ready to
handle the fruit this fall. , June, July
and August have slipped by vand Sept
ember is half gone, and nothing has
been done except the appointment of a
committee to solicit subscriptions to the
stock which was done about a week ago.
Had the good work gone on at the time
the plant would have been in operation
now. . Tons of fruit would have been
put up and the plant could be now run
ning on salmon. The fall run of silver
sides and steelheads is a phenomenal
one. Seufert Bros, are catching 25 tons
a day, the Winans Bros, a large quantity,
and again the cannery ia. overstocked
and fishermen are lying idle. If a plant
was in operation here it could get fifty
or a hundred tons of fish, a day if it

would take them. The trouble with
The Dalles seems to be of a piece with
that of the famous Arkansas man with
his house. ... When the canning season is
at hand we have not time to build a can
nery, and when it is over we don't need
one. Thousands of dollars that ought to
be going into the pockets of our people,
through lack of energy and enterprise on
our part, are going Tip the river to
spawn. : That we will get none of the
results of the batching seems to be a
dead sure thing. .
Dafur Doings.
The weather after the rain is now
somewhat cooler, which is favorable for
the busy toilers in the harvest fields.
The merry buzz of the . thresher is
heard on all sides, and the casual passer
by can count four or five machines in
and about Dafur and vicinity.

land is spending their vacation with as,
hunting, fishing, etc.
Mrs. Douglas Dafur and little ones
have returned to The Dalles after a brief
visit to friends in our berg.
Wednesday Grandpa and Grandma
Menefee were out driving, when the
horse was frightened and overturned the
bbgey, smashing it all to pieces. MrB.
Menefee was bruised considerably, bnt
not so much as was feared.
Little Hugh Mulkins fell from a wagon
and broke his arm.
Mr. Henry Pitman's wrist is improv
ing slowly but it is feared it will be stiff.
Milton Morris, who had his arm
mutilated in a thresher, and who has
been here for the last few weeks under
Dr. Deitrich's care, is fast improving.
His arm is healing rapidly and he will
retain the use of that limb, thanks to
our doctor, who is unmistakably a fine
surgeon and can almost make new limbs
for anyone who is unlortunate enough to
need them. , " Quiz.

Tough on the Insured.
The preliminary examination of Judge
Gordon E. Hayes pf Clackamas county,
is going on in Portland. The judge is
charged by a Mrs. Melcher of conspiring
with Toll Thompson, adjuster for the
State Insurance company, to defraud
her by forcing her'to settle a claim for
loss by fire amounting to $2000 foa$700.
Mrs. Melcher claims that by threats
they scared her into settling her claim
for the amount named, $700. Judge
Hayes says it is a blackmailing scheme.
Mrs. Melcher tells-a vevy straight story
which is crood at least until the other
side is heard. If the matter is true as
Mrs. Melcher insists, our friend Peter
the Poet of the Klamath Star, wants to
go out under the peaceful stars once
more and return yet more ardent thanks
that his property, recently destroyed,
was not insured.
