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 today. The state rested at 11:15, and at 2 o'clock all the evidence for the defense was in. Huntington & Wilson are assisting the prosecuting attorney, while the defendant ia represented by 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. More About the Klks.

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.
