since the 15th of May. The effect of the
dry spell and the hot winds has- been
such as to decrease wheat yield fully 50
per cent. It is needless to say the half

our city were amazed at such an expres-
sion of local pride. When the steamer

The boys all speak in the most glow

toriane, and say the greatest desire of
those people seemed to be to do them
honor. Speaking ot their failure to win J
the first races.one of the boys says it was
due to unlucky a'ceidente. They bad de

ot the event, it encouraged them

the good cheer of the occasion :
Gentlemen I am not a public speaker
and you all know it. But I always try
to do a little towards doing honor unto
them where honor belongs. And let tne
say that last week: when tne wires
ticked the sad news that our boys bad
lost we were all very sorry indeed, and I
do not think I can illustrate the feeling
of those at Astoria better than to tell
yon a little Scotch story of an old Scot
who once in the days of yore left bis own
dear Scotland and went abroad to gain
greater honors', (like our boys who went
to : Astoria) but not being successful
returned home again.. Reaching the
shore he jumped off the boat, but not
like our boys tonight, and fell upon the
earth and grasped it with both hands,'
exclaiming these words:-"Lives there
a Scot with heart so dead who to him
self hath never said, 'Dear old Scotland,
I love thee still.' " Kow, gentlemen, I
