, The railroad is beginning to carry
large amounts of wheat from the interior
t the seaboard. The wheat movement
has been unusually delayed because of
the producers , holding , for a higher
r price, but the prospect of bad weather
b.i3 caused the farmers to begin to get
rid of their surplus. Several extra
trains passed through The Dalles yeeter
d iy loaded with wheat from the upper
country, while nearly a train load leaves
this place every day. Business 'on the
railroad will be livlicr from now till the
wheat shipments are over and the rail
road boys will draw larger checks on pay
diy.
The Denton case will go to the jury

Story & Gates. Twenty-one "witnesses
ware examined for the state and seven
for the defense. The closing arguments
are being made as we go to press.
Last evening about 5:30 persons on
the street noticed a bright light in the
direction ot Dry Hollow. It could be
told that some house or barn was
afire, but just where was not learned till
this morning. The ecene of the confla
gration was about three miles from town,
where a house belonging to Marshall
Hill was burned. The building was oc
cupied by a family named Walker, new
comers to Wasco county from the Wil
lamette valley. The origin of the fire is
a mystery, as when the family left home
at noon to do some visiting, everything
was all right and the fire did not occur
till several hours later. The loss to the
Walters ia complete, as everything they
bad was burned. All their furniture,
clothing, bedding, etc, was destroyed, so
the family is without shelter or suitable
provision for the winter.

In Honor of Mrs. Patterson.
The council chamber was filled Satur
day with an enthusiastic assemblage
which had gathered to complete the or
ganization of a clnb whose objects just
at present are better known , than its
name. The meeting was called to order
by the president, J. S. Schenck, and the
results of . the trustees' labors were an
nounced. . Propositions . concerning a
building were received from the Mich
ael bach estate, and from The Dalles
Lumbering Company. After much dis
cussion it was was decided tnat tne
second story of the building occupied by
the Lumbering Company should be
leased under a temporary arrangement
and fitted up to suit the purposes of the
club.
When it came to selecting a name for
the organization an amusing debate was
carried en between some of the mem
bers. Three names were proposed
"Commercial," "Quinette" and "Dal-
wasie," the latter being a combination
made from the first three letters of the
words Dalles, Wasco and Oregon. As
the matter of choosing a name was con
sidered to be a very .important one, it
was finally decided to postpone, further
action upon the subject till Tuesday
evening, until which time .the 'meeting
adjourned. .: a
; The attendance was very satisfactory.
the number of business men represented
being .very large. Much interest and
enthusiasm was shown throughout all
the proceedings, and it can be safely said
that the establishment of the club upon
a basis that will prove successful is as
sured. During the interval till Tuesday
night it SB expected that the bright
minds of the club will be busy evolving
a name that will prove pleasing to
everyone. As soon as this matter is de
cided upon the articles of incorporation
will be forwarded to Salem, and -it is
expected that work will immediately be
begun upon the fitting up of .the club's
quarters. ' ------ ' - -'
A Pleasant Occasion.
did not announce any text the discourse
was upon the theme "The Power of God
Unto : Salvation." The cross was a
stumbling block unto the. Jews and a
piece of foolishness to the Greeks. The
old Jewish religion while containing
many, good - things was. lacking in
the one essential to snpply.which Chriet
was sent into the world. The God of
the Hebrews was a God of authority,
reverence and law moro than of loye.
The test of a business man is the inter
est and devotion which he puts into his
work while Jhje ardor." with wh:ch a
student pursues the subject of his inveB-
igation shows his love for it. The same
test shows whether or not the Christian
is devoted heart and soul to the belief he
has declared. The Eermon was an able
one and listened to with great interest
by all who heard it. The singing by
the choir was very fine.
The attendance at the other churches
morning and evening is reported very
good. In the afternoon Prof. Riddell
delivered a free lecture at the Methodist
church which was largely attended.
Mrs. Gertrude Lownsdale, of Salem,

ed, in the way of a celluloid package of
-bonbons or other novelty, with each.
Those present were: Mrs. Patterson,
Mr. and- Mrs. C. B. Moores, Mr. and
Mrs. F. "F.. Hodkin, Miss Nora Chamber
