ADVANTAGE.
HAS THE
Pendleton is rejoicing over a eale of
70,000 bushels of wheat Tuesday, for
which the price paid was forty cents a
bushel. The announcement is said to
have given new life to wheat producers,
who feel encouraged that they too will
receive a goo 1 price for their crops. Up
in Oaksdale, Washington, the center cf
a rich farming belt, the wheat raisers
are happy, comparatively epeakinj,
over a raise to thirty-six cents, and the
prediction is mad that the price will go
as high as forty cents before the holi
days. In that case there will be a rueb
to sell. In The Dalles the price has not
been lower than 40 cents far nearly two
months, and now the figure paid by
Dalles buyers has reached 45o and 47
for No. 1 club and blue stem respective
ly. Our wheat is no better than the
grain raised in the fertile fields of Uma
tilla county or on the wide acres of the
Falouse country, and the difference in
prices, eo largely in favor of this city, is
due solely to the advantageous situatioi
of The Dalles its nearness to the sea
board and the competitive transporta
tion, which, -above all things else, has
contributed to its growth and prosperity.
A farmer in Wasco, Sherman or Klicki
tat counties gets more money for his
produce than does the farmer further
in the interior, and in these days of
email things this margin often repre
sents the profit.
With an open river soon to come as
the realization of our fondest hope The
Dalles and the country whose outlet it
is, will take still further strides in the
direction of material prosperity and
growth. To the steamers of the Dalles,
Portland & Astoria Navigation Com
pany, who haye made all these good
conditions possible, the gratitude of a
liberated people will be never ending.
A LESSON CAN BE LEARNED
It has been quite customary among
newspapers to make light of the deep
interest which is taken in the Durrant
case. While it is probable that too
much space has been occupied in the
columns of the San Francisco dailies with
imaginative articles describing some
plot which never existed, or outlining
testimony never produced, yet it does
not follow that the wide-spread at
tention which this case has attracted
should be condemned. It is not morbid
curiosity alone that has caueed people Jo
read with absorbing interest the progress
of the trial. Mothers who are earnestly
striving to bring their daughters up in
the way best suited to their station and
the surroundings in which they live,
are reading the Durrant case to learn of
the indiscretion with which the guar
dian of Blanche Latnont has acted if
the testimony of the prosecution be
taken as true. Young people of both
sexes should learn from the spectacle
which this case presents that there are
certain rules of conventionality which it
is dangerous to disregard ; and yonug
men who are too free in boasting of their
conquests, will learn from the fate which
has overtaken Durrant that the life of
hypocrisy is against the ideals of strong
manhood.
The publication of the testimony in
the Durrant case will teach some truths
that otherwise might never be observed.
Object lessons make a stronger impres
sion upon sluggish minds than all the
precepts conned from books or beard
from lips speaking wisdom. There is a
lesson from the testimony which fathers
and mothers can well afford to observe ;
and young people, who think the re
strictions of social conventionality too
severe, can learn that the children of !

500,000,000 bushels, a corn crop of 2,200,

bushels indicate that the year
1895 in the United States has been a
pretty good one for farming. Nearly all
other productions of the soil have done as
well, and politics will catch up next
year.

Dear Sir: I saw a clipping from the
Long Creek Eagle saying that the But
ler Bros, had made a rich discovery in
quartz lead in this mining camp, which
is true. We have a lead that prospects
as well, if not better, than anything
heretofore discovered in this camp. It
assays from $25 to $000 per ton. A
roaster will be working our ore within
ten daye, and we will then give correct
results. Scotch Jim has also made a
rich discovery in a quartz lead, and is
now developing his ore, which is very
rich. lie has some rich ore already in
sight, and will soon have a large amount
milled, as a roaster is being put up near
hi9 lead.
We have a good mining camp here,
and all re doinj: well. Our camp is
sure to be permanent. ,
Yours Respectfully,

children. Some have nearly
every ailment,' even with
the best of care. Others far

unharmed. Weak children
will have continuous colds
in winter, poor digestion in
summer. They are with

they have no reserve
