The outlook for farmers in Morrow
county is discouraging this year, to say
the least. Graeshoppers ate said to be
taking everything in sight that is green,
the wheat crop is light and of poor qual
ity, an wool growers, for .the first time
in the history of the county, are unable
to find a market for their product at any
price.'-'
False ideas lead people to think, saya
the Observer, that sheepmen burn them
selves to death by destroying fires in the
mountains when the annual midsummer
haze settles down upon the state like a
fog over London. Another fallacy in
Oregon. is to cry poison when, a flock of
sheep kill themselves from suddenly
changing to filaree from dry bunch grass;
The Moro Observer makes a pe-pbScy
and says : "It will be five years, with a
waste of $200,000 now appropriated and
$300,000 more to come, before a tangible'
thing will be done on the boat railway
fraud at the dalles of tbe Columbia.
Mark these words. Twenty-seven years
at the Cascades; twenty-five years at
the dalles. But it is a hobby of tbe a
tocrats."

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
The Ilacui8lon hi ' Afternoon Tt
trpon Kookft.
The question for discussion this after- i
noon at tbe institute was: What shall j
the primary teacher read? The teacher j
of a mixed school? Miss Rintoul led the
discussion with an admirable paper, in
which she recommended professional
work principally. Mr. 'Gavin epoke
very entertainingly on the subject. He
said one should read that which had 'a
good effect, and leaves one in a thought
ful mood. He regarded too much
newspaper reading as deleterious, and
emphasized the point ' by specific
mention of the Oregonian, which was
filled with so much of all kinds of mat- j
ter that it left one with a sense of ex-
khaustion if all were read.' He did not
think one-sixth, or at most one-third,
(should be read. He had read so much
be got so be could pict bis books with a
tolerable certainty as to what was best
j the county, is the part that reads "im
! portant business will come before the
committee." Rumor is current that
! this call of Democrats is the first step
! toward fusion with the Populists,
j A prominent politician of the Popu
list party says that Judge George Turner,
of Spokane, will be invited at an early
date to address the citizens of Klickitat

Only four horses were bought by Mr.
Frazier up till noon for the use of the
army. Mr. Frazier says the most of the
horses shown are too heavy. An ideal
weight is 1000 or 1050. Other horses
again are shut out because of their color.
A beautiful horse, with nice, clean
limbs, a trim body, graceful neck and
small shapely ' bead was refused this
morning because he was too dark in
color. The horse must be a bay, a sor
rel or a gray. Another borse was re
fused because, while perfect in all other
respects, his haunches were too high,
giving him a sway-back appearance.
Between fifty and seventy-five horses
have been brought so far and offered for
sale. Mr. Frazier says that he has se
cured only forty -eight horses in Walla
Walla, Pendleton and The Dalles, and
will go to the Grande Ronde country, as
be must procure about twenty more.
He will leave The Dalles tonight.

any regular course of reading, excellent Portland this morning
Mr. Gourlay was present and spokexfience
upon this theme. He recommended the
reading of some good current magazines,
suggesting the "Review of Reyiews,"
the "North American Review," etc.

asked to write the names of books they
have read and would .recommend. A
large list was the result, from which we
extract the following: "Boys of '76,"
Irving's "Washington" and "Colum
bus," "Helen's Babies," "Uncle Tom's
Cabin," "Robinson Crusoe," "Gulliver's
Travels," "Little Women," "Black

Now that wool is a drug in the market
at any price interest will from now on
center in the price that wheat is to
bring the present season. There is no
rift in the clouds at present. There is
nothing doing whatever and nothing is
likely to be done for a long time yet.
Millers are the only buyers and this is
done sparingly. Interest now centers
in the news from the harvest fields. Re
ports of crop damage are conflicting
from the excessive heat of the past fort
night; some points estimate the dam
age done at about 40 per cent, while at
other points the claim is only 10 per
cent. The question of price is a very
uncertain one.
Says the Commercial Review : Pres
ent indications are decidedly in favor of
a lower range of values than is quoted
at present, but a month will elapse be
fore wheat will be moving with any
thing approaching freedom and many
changes are liable to occur to -alter the
position. ' -' .--' .', '
