The high water of last month in
Union county is said to have destroyed
many young prairie chickens, as the
breeding grounds were in many places
overflowed.
The weather vesterdav and todav has
been somewhat cooler than the two days
previous, but the sunny side of the
street is yet being avoided and summer
drinks have a very good sale.
Farmers are in the midst of their hay
harvest. The wheat harvest is about
die, and several harvest hands have al
ready left for Sherman county for the
usual summer and fall work.
Owing to the extreme warm weather
the river recedes very slowly, it requir
ing two or three days to fall a foot. If
cool spell of weather should occur th
river would decline very radidly.

Jos. Wodica's stand on Court street
has changed ownership, and is now C.

ice cream, which is carefully made from
the beet cream by experienced hands ;

pint or gallon.
Wednesday was the hottest day of the
week. Another proof of the fact is that
of the ice sales of The Dalles Commis
sion Co., which were the largest of the
week on that day. Fourteen tons of ice
were disposed of by them on Wednes
day in The Dalles and in the country. '
C. H. Dietzel says the grasshoppers
are to be expected. Kansas had grass
hoppers as. long as there was so much
Populism in the state. If they would
quit talking so much Populism, repudia
tion and free silver, the grasshoppers
would quit Oregon, just as tbey did
Kansas.
- The subject of .Mr. Irwin's address at
the CoBgregatianal church tonight will
be "What Has Been Done and What Do
We Need." Mr. Irvine is a venerable-
appearing gentleman of pleasing per
tonality. He is an ; old-time Instructor
and a keen observer and
very interesting address. "
Eleven elk were seen north of Mary's
peak quite recently. This is something
quite unusual, as elk are becoming very
scarce in the United States. Oregon,
perhaps, has as many of these noble
animals in her forests as any other
state, and it is only in certain portions
that there is any considerable number.
Joe Earhart is a farmer and an engi
neer on the O. K. & Si. tie has four
annual crops of wheat stacked up wait
ing tor a rise, and says he will keep stack
ing them up until the price suits him.
Few farmers can do as Mr. Earhart is
doing, for he does not have to depend
for a living upon his earnings as a
farmer.

And now it is Leld by the Union

: . Mr. Geo. Reed was in town from his
ranch this morning; and confirms the
reports of a partial loss of the wheat
crop by the hot winds. Beautiful fields
of waving grain that would have yielded
more bountiful crops than for years,
were breathed upon by the hot east
wind and drooped and shriveled under
Its withering caress. There will - be

The most important business of the
A. O. U. W. grand lodge session at
Portland yesterday was the election
of grand lodge officers for the en
suing year. Mr. D. C. .Herrin, who is
the most active and enthusiastic worker
of this order in The Dalles, is twice hon
ored. The election was as follows.
E. Werlein, I of Industry lodge, No. 8,
Portland, grand master ; S. A. McFad
deu, of Protection, No. 2, Salem, grand
foreman; D. C. Herrin, of Temple, No.
3, The Dalles, grand overseer; Newton
Clark, of Riverside, No. 8, Hood River,
re-elected grand recorder ; R. L. Dur
ham, of Hope, No. 1, Portland, re-elected
grand receiver; William Armstrong, of
Valley, No. 18, Salem, grand trustee ;
D. C. Herrin, grand instructor.
This last office is a new one in this
jurisdiction. It was created yesterday
by vote of the grand lodge, and is simi
lar to that called grand organizer in
some other jurisdictions. It is really
the plum of the whole list and carries
with it a $1,500 emolument per . year.
Mr. Herrin deserves this recognition.
He is a hustler for the order, and has
made its business a careful study. For
some time it has been disastrous to
many of the old line insurance -men to
intercept his trail. .
The grand lodge Degree of Honor also
had its busy day yesterday, and The
Dalles was again honored by the selec
tion of Mrs. M. E. Briggs for grand lady
of honor. The selection was fitting in
spirit and in truth. Mrs. Briggs is an
(enthusiast in the work and will grace
the position as few others could.
Water Struck at the Flour Mill.
our city. A delivery horee was noticed
this morning with a lame foot, traveling
along very painfully, and requiring to
be urged with the lash because of its
lameness. A nail was perhaps piercing
the quick and each step cost the poor
brute excruciating pain. Wbeneverjone
notices, a lame horse being driven he
may know that the driver is either ig
norant regarding what is due to the
rights of a life, or that, having knowl
edge of the pain endured by the animal,
he is too case-hardened to care for its
suffering. A selfish reason, if no other,
should inspire a driver to stable a horse
with a lame foot until it is well, for a
horse may be ruined forever by a nail or
a wound unattended to.

PERSONAL. MENTION.
Water was struck at the Diamond
our mills yesterday at a depth of 117
feet, which immediately arose to within
eighteen feet of the surface. A power
ful pump was set to work, but an hour's
vigorous work failed to lower the supply
in the pipe a particle. It is fed from an
inexhaustible buddIv. The water is the
same as that struck at the electric light))
company's power house; and is cold, soft
and very pure. The water has every
evidence of being artesian in its quality,
but the suggestion has been made thati
an underground passage has been struck'
with the river, and the reasons stated
jtywonia appear to near out Bach a view.
The present depth of the welfto the snr-
face of the water would correspond to
the present level of the Columbia, and
the water being so much purer might be
accounted for by its filtering through
sand. If the water is fed by the river,
while the supply will always be inex
haustible, the well will rise and fall with
it. However, an Inexhaustible supply
of pure cold water is of great value, even
if it must be pumped out, and however
one may theorize, the milling company
has exactly what tbey sought - 1
