Mr. David Creightonand his daughter,
while on their way to town Wednesday,
met with an accident that came near re
sulting seriously. They were riding to
town on a load of wheat when from some
cause they slipped off, falling in front of
the wheels. At the same time a sack of
wheat fell in front of one of the hind
wheels and this stopped the team. If it
had not been for this the wagon would
have run over them.
According to Joseph Murray, fish
commissioner for Alaska, the birds and
foxes are being exterminated. The pro

says the hunters poison the foxes for

poisoned foxes and die. Other foxes eat
the poisoned birds, And die, other birds
eat the other poisoned foxes and they
die and there you have . it the genuine
circulating medium of strychnine.
The
The power plant proper consists first
of an inlet canal situated about a mile
and a half up the river from the Ameri
can falls. This canal is really a great
reservoir into which the water backs.
The opening, or great gates, are placed
not at the upper, but at the lower, end,
the end nearest the falls. This was
done because the engineers believed
that the current would be too strong if
the water was admitted directly from
the river. It therefore goes in by a
back flow. The canal will always be
full. No drouth, no frost of winter has
ever occurred so severe as to interfere
materially with the flow,of water over
Niagara's brink. Into the canal or cut
gateways of massive masonry, each con
trolled by a heavy gate, and connected
with enormous shafts, or penstocks, of
iron and steel, some of them of a diame
ter as great as seven feet. Through
each shaft may be delivered a continu
ous force of water equivalent to from
two thousand to five thousand horse
power. Those that turn the turban
wheels which keep the massive machin
ery of the paper mill in motion, deliver
three thousand six hundred horse
power. The total capacity of the canal
is one hundred thousand horse-power ;
and it will be possible to so increase the
capacity of this and other plants con
trolled by the parent and allied compa
nies that ultimately there may be cap
tured from Niagara Falls as much as
four hundred and fifty thousand horse
power. .

Friday, Sept. 21. There is no chango
in the general markets since last week.
Eggs are quoted at 15 cents and chick
ens from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen, ac
cording to size.
Butter is plentiful, and is quoted at
from 45 to 50 cents per roll.
The potato market, is unchanged,
ranging from 50 to 65 cents per 100 lbs.
Fruit of all kinds is plentiful, and prices
nominal.
Wheat is coming in abundantly, but
the market is tending towards lower
prices, some being sold as low as 27 cts.
per huphel. The wheat conditions as
reported by the department of agricul
ture are generally good, the falling off
in total yield being caused by the un
precedented heat in some sections. At
present the outlook for wheat is dis
couraging, and any change in price will
be for the worse.
The wool market is somewhat stronger.
Many American buyers are seeking the
English markets, bat it is thought that
our wools being now in competition
with the world, have reached their low
est point, and any change will be for the
better.
PERSONAL MENTION.
While at The Dalles last week we paid
a visit with Judge Bennett to his farm

thousand pounds of the finest Italian
prunes that our eyes ever feasted on ;
we saw nice, large, delicous peaches
that would certainly be premium
peaches at any of the fairs east of the
