Misses Annie and Laura Thompson
treated about seventeen of their young
lady friends to a picnic on one of the
loveliest spots 011 the bank of Mill creek
. today. ' Mr. Richmond started out early
this morning with the wagonette loaded
with a jolly crowd of girls, and as the
day has been perfect, no doubt the first
picnic of the season was as happy a one
as will be had this summer.
. The members of the Moro Dramatic
elub arrived today, and every arrange,
ment has been completed for putting "A
8ocial Glass" on the boards tonight.
This club has presented the piece a half
dozen- times and to appreciative
audiences. Their acting is said to be
fine, and indeed only the most flattering
notices have followed each presentation
of the play. -The Orchestra Union will
furnish the music for the occasion.
: The city council met last night, but as
near as we can learn ran against a stump.
It was intended . to have the charter
amended so as to provide for bonding all
the indebtedness up to the time the
bonds were issued, but through some
oversight the new charter only provides
for bonding the indebtedness up to Jan
nary 1st. As this, would leave about
$4,000 of debt unprovided for, some of the
conncilmen objected to issuing the bonds.
Just what course will be taken is not yet
determined upon.

THE MARKETS.
Clapp & Co.'s weekly market letter is
hopeful in tone, and thinks the financial
outlook ia getting much brighter. It
says : "The air that was lately leaden
seems charged' with buoyant sentiment,
and ambitions recently hopeless seem
now but stepping stones to higher eleva
tions." It also mentions the fact that
cotton has gone up from 5.54 to 6.67 and
asserts that it will Boon sell above 7
cents. ."
The wheat outldok is brighter for the
grower. Of winter wheat the crop is
now estimated, even with the most
favorable weather, at not less than 10
per cent below last year's product, and
the indications are that prices will be
much better than in 1894. Of course it
is too soon yet to make anything like a
correct estimate of the crop as every
thing depends upon the weather in the
next two months. . - That the crop will
not be nearly up to that of '94 Is, how
over, aesured. This condition exists in
countries growing 85 per cent of the
world's crop. It is estimated that 83,
000,000 bushels of wheat have been fed
to stock since last harvest, thus dispos
ing of a large part of the surplus.
Beef is going up steadily, caused by a
general shortage. Low prices caused
the slaughtering of many Cows and the
destruction of entire herds by those who
were discouraged and getting out of the
business. The result is a large deficiency
in the present supply. Better, prices
will prevail for several years, at least.
Mntton feels the effect of the rise in
beef and has a strong tendency upward.
Prices run from $2 50 to $3 25 per head.
The winter has been a good one for the
sheep industry, and the flocks are in
prime condition, better than they will
be In a month from now unless we have
rain, as the pasturage will die out. The
lambing season has been favorable and
the crop a phenomenally large one.
The wool is also extra good, the staple
unnsually long and without a break.
. The local market is well supplied with
seasonable vegetables, and in produce
there are no changes since last week.
8 and ay School Workers. , -
Vain has no show with Dr. Hllaa' Pain Pint.
The program has been issued .for the
Tenth Annual Convention of the Oregon
8tate Sunday S.hool Association, to be
held in tne First Congregational church.
Portland, May 7th, 8th and 9th. The
topics for treatment are all in line with
the convention theme, "Better Things."
While the entire program is designed to
be of interest to every attendant, each
one is certain to find . something of
sprcial value in his particular line of
Sunday school effort, '
. The primary department is given the
prominence that it demands, as being ef
perhaps, the first Importance. Three
papers on various poiuts in primary
teaching are provided for, as well as a
conference of all primary workers. At
this conference the matter of a state
primary superintendent will undoubt
edly be brougkt up, and if it meets with
favor the state association will be asked
to add such an officer to the list for the
ensuing year. Normal work will be
fully treated, and the question of the
adoption of a uniform state course and
the appointment of a normal superin
tendent will have attention. Such vital
topics as grading, singing and the home
class department will be ably presented ;
the Chantauqua work will also have
consideration. The singing during the
entire convention will be under the di
rection of Rev. H. W. Young, of Port
lands On Wedneeday evening the pro
gram will include organ selections by
Miss Francis Jones, one of Portland's
best organists, and a quartette by Miss
Bloch, Mrs. Sbillock and Messrs. Wint
ler and Montgomery. A feature of the
convention will be the five simultaneous
conferences, at 4 o'clock, Wednesday
afternoon, of primary workers, secre
taries, superintendents, teachers of boys
and teachers of girls. The special in
terest of each delegate will determine
which one he shall attend. In each con
ference only such topics and problems
are to be considered as concern teachers
or officers of that particular class.
; Indications already point to a very
large attendance. This ia a mass con
vention, and the invitation is extended
to all Sunday school workers in the
state. Entertainment will be provided
for such, delegates as send their names
to A. A. Moroe, chairman, 334 Weidler
street, Portland. Attention is called to
the necessity for taking a receipt from
the agent at time of buying railroad
ticket to Portland, if reduced rate for re
turn trip in desired. The Southein Pa
cific company has effected a chauge in
its manner of handling excursion fares
which makes this imperative. This is
also required ' by the O. R. & N. Co.
The return rate is one-third of regular
fare on Southern Pacific, and one-fifth
on O. R. & N. The secretary, F. R.
Cook, Portland, will furnish additional
information on request.
