But the pros pects this year for the growers as re gards prices are somewhat better, as shortages in Eastern and European crops are reported, and for choice qual ity the valley hopmen are likely to reap a fair profit. Wheat stands at the head of bread grains. On account of its superior value, be the price high or low, wheat will bear transportation for a greater distance than any other grain or pro duce.

McKinley club meeting Friday night. Sliding Mountain Won't Stop. Hon. W. R. Ellis arrived on the noo train today from Newport, where he has' been for a month, and where his family now are. Mr. Ellis purchased a cottage there, where he will spend the greater part of the summer. His business in The Dalles at present ie to consider the applications of young gentlemen wb may wish to try for West Point or A nnnnlis honors. - Knowing that fits -position politically was in some doubt since the curious in terview alleged to have been held be tween himself and an Oregonian re perter, a Chronicle representative called upon him at the Umatilla Honse. "Will you take a part in the cam paign this year?'' began the reporter. "I will," replied Mr. Ellis. "I have offered my services at state Republican headquarters, and will be ready to go on the stump as soon as the campaign opens. I would prefer to be assigned in my own district, but will go wherever in the judgment of the committee I am needed." 'The general impression among the people of the state ib that you favor the silver side of the question?" "Oh, not wholly," with a deprecating gesture. "I have been friendly to both metals, and should like to see , the larg est use of both consistent with keeping up the parity. I am not one of that number who believe that great dis order is to follow, the financial issue, no' matter which way it is settled. Whatever may be the result of the elec tion I do not believe we shall have any great panic or commotion. I think Mc Kinley will be elected and that the fight is going to be settled along 'Republican lines, and I do not think the financial plank is the most important. There are several others ahead of that. I believe the tariff plank is paramount to all others. ' Then the old established Re publican principle of restriction of foreign immigration is of more import ance than the financial plank. There are several that in my judgment come ahead of that one." " Mr. Ellis will remain in the city till tomorrow afternoon. In the . morning he will receive the applicants for mili tary examination.

It has the slides this year worse than usual, and its movement has rendered necessary the relocation of the O. R. & N. Co.'s rail way for a distance of some 1200 feet Tne new line will be moved some sixty feet back, and will be eighteen feet higher than the present line, which has gone away below grade, owing to the sinking and sliding of the land. The railroad engineers have become so ac customed to the antics of this sliding mountain that they just let it elide, and when it gets the track too far down they move it np again. Oregonian.
