The Dalles has had less raintall than

the southern part of the county, which
extended over Heppner and probably
much further east.

Mr. Samuel A. Lester of Mitchell,
Crook county, was married at Condon
Monday, April 29th, to Miss Lizzie
Sherrard of Sumner, Coos county. Mr.
Lester was formerly clerk at the Warm
Springs, and is a bright, energetic and
clever gentleman. We have not the
pleasure of knowing Mrs. Lester, but
congratulate her on having won a man
worthy of her, though she were a queen.
The Herrick cannery made another
small run today, putting up about fifty
cases. Quite a number of our citizens
visited the cannery, and were all pleased
with the completeness of the plant,
The run is still light, but if there is even
a moderate run tbe cannery will have all
tbe fith it can handle, but Mr. Herrick is
confidant that he can easily handle all
that can be caught by running at night
as by doing so be can put up 1500 cases
in twenty-four hours.
- The O. K. T. concert last night was a
genuine treat, the only fault that we
have heard found with 'it being the
shortness of tbe program. The music is
the very nest and the wonder is how
such genuine talent can be retained by a
single business firm, and used to adver
tise its business. It id pretty positive
proof that advertising pays, and the
beauty of this peculiar kind is that it pays
those who take it in. The O. K. T. com
pany is incomparable. Go and hear
them. "-

Kndersby Notes.
The May day picnic at the Campbell
grove was a grand success. The morn
ing opened with light showers of rain,
which no. doubt kept many from coming.
Notwithstanding the heavy threatening
clouds which floated over the horizon,
sending forth at frequent intervals
showers of earth's delight, which was
no doubt gladness to the growing grain. I
At the early hour of 9 o'clock could be
seen carriages, men women and children
on horseback, wending their way to tbe
Campbell grove, '.where everything was
in readiness for a big time. Soon was
heard the familiar cry of "Ice cream
and lemonade, stirred up with a spade;"
also the cry of the phonograph man,
with the hose attachments to fit the ear,
whispering the song or lecture spoken
weeks before " without disturbing the
peace and quiet of those around, for the
small sum of 5 cents.
Eleven o'clock having arrived, we
looked around to see all tbe vacant seats
occupied, with groups of smiling faces
standing or reclining near by, and bands
of gaily dressed children scampering to
and fro, indicating by their movements
they were most interested. It was May
day; lets crown the queen. Soon we see
the genial face of Mr. Brigbam of Dufur,
who is escorted to the platform by the
Harmony class, where there are in wait
ing to the left the three yotfng ladies,
dressed in white, who are to do honor to
the occasion. A song by tbe Harmony
class, ''Merry May," and a neat and ap
propriate speech for the occasion by the
speaker, the three .young ladies in
white arose and stepped to the front
of the platform, the maids of honor Miss
Cora Wingfield on the left, and Miss
Myrtle Patterson on the right, with a
beautiful garland of flowers tbey crowned
Miss Daisy Davidson queen of the May,
who recited with her usual style and
gesture, "The Frozen North to Southern"
Climes," holding the vast audience en
raptured during the ' recitation. . Con
gratulated by their friends and admired
by ' all, those three will not soon forget
tbe picnic in the Campbell grove. ,
And now for the baskets and boxes
filled with good things. It looked as if
all intended to stay a week, each bring
ing enough for themdelves and friends,
so there was plenty to eat and to spare.
The day being fine the afternoon was
spent in laughable games until the even
ing, when, we found they, had not only
come for the picnic but the grand con
cert at night. Long before the time for
opening the crowd wanted admittance.
Only by the sweet strains of the Dufur
band was the crowd kept out until the
time for opening. We will simply say
we had not tbe room to ' bold, all that
wanted admittance. The windows were
thrown open and all that could squeeze
their heads in did so, to get a glimpse of
what was going onl The program being
long and the hall and ante rooms
crowded, half past ten found us not near
through, so we had to close with several
pieces left. The receipts for tbe evening
were much larger than expected.

There are at ' present six factories in
this country manufacturing sugar from
beets. Three of these are located in
California, two in Nebraska and the re
maining one in Utah. A plant has been
located in Virginia, but has never been
operated on tbe same scale as the others.
The largest of these factories is the one
at Watsonville, Cal., which has a cap
acity of about 1,000 tons of beets per day.
The Chino factory consumes eight hun
dred tons. It was enlarged during the
past season and now, perhaps, equals
that at Watsonville. The other factories
each average about eight hundred tons
daily.
