Klickitat farmers haul wheat to Col
umbus instead of "The Dalles for the fol
lowing reason: The rate from The
Dalles to Portland is only a cent lees per
' bushel than' from Columbus! ' It takes
the teamsters one day longer to make
the trip to The Dalles, and as they can
haul only about seventy bushels, it does
not pay.- The condition has heretofore
existed that after hauling wheat to The
Dalles the Regulator would haul it to
Portland for several cents less per bushel
than the company's charge from above.
But the portage road being destroyed,
the Regulator is eliminated from com
petition. .
C. B. Don and eight others have been
hauled up before Judge Bellinger in
the United States court at Portland to
show cause why they should not be per

ness is to end nobody appears to know,

THE COMING FAIR.
Arrangements Entered Upon with Great
Spirit by J. O. Hack and Others.
A CRYING SHAME.
The Fumen Iose Thousands of Dollars
Again on Freights.
Mr. J. O. Mack, the genial secretary
of the Second Eastern Oregon District
Fair . Association, has taken a desk in
the office of T. A. Hudson, on Washing
ton street, where be can be consulted in
any matters pertaining to the fair and
races, which will open on the 20 tb of
October and continue five days. .. From
the amount of papers and books he has
received it would seem that be intends
to do a land office business, and if the
fair is not a success, it will not be bis
fault, as he always takes great interest
in this matter, and the management all
acknowledge that the successes of the
past years are almost entirely due to his
energy and perseverance. ' With the
able assietance of Mies Anne' Lang as
chief marsbaVof the pavilion, we may
look forward to the fair of 189S as being
the banner fair of the state..
The race track is being put in condi
tion under, the superintendence of Mr.
Alden Brown, an able and experienced
track man, and. you can, look out for
record-beakers this fall. - - But do not
forget that these people cannot make a
successful fair . themselves, but only
with your assistance ; ' and do' not say
that you did not know. Ask and ye shall
receive; knoek and it shall be opened
unto you all the information necessay
to make the fair a'grand success.
V ln Maelaren's Sew Story. "
Ian. Maelaren's new short story, the
last he will write until after bis Ameri
cattvyjsit, has been, secured by . The
Ladies Home Journal; for publication in
the October and November issues. , It is
called "The Minister of St. Bede's" and
is said to be in the brightest and clever
est Maclarene8que ; vein.- Besides .its
charm as a delightful romance the story
is said to be notable for the admirable
character that the author has created
for the chief personage--the' minister of
St. Bede's, as the loyal lover of an hum
ble Scotch lassie. 7:

To a man up a tree it lookj as though
the wheat farmers had. again been sold
out, and that there is a very black, nigger
in the woodpile. , '
The Boost severe effect of tearing up
the portage road is to place the wheat
raisers completely at the mercy of thfe
railway transportatiou company again.
It is impossible, by , the expensive pro
cess of transporting across the portage in
wagons, for the 'D. P. & A. N. Co. t-
handle this year's wheat crop . at any
thing like the rates of last year.
We are informed that the state por
tage road could have-been fixed up for
the trifle of $150. Instead of repairing
it, however, Mr. C. C. Hobart, who was
employed by the state and paid by the
patrons of the D. P. fc A. N. Co. to
superintend . the portage, saw fit to de
stroy it. We do not charge that he has
been induced by the railway corporation
to destroy the portage, while paid by
the state to keep it in repair and operate
it, but we should feel better about it if'
the following questions were satisfac
torily answered : ,
Why was it expedient to remove the
portage road?
Was it in the way of the Day Bros?
If so, how?
Did anyone petition or. request that it
beremoved? : - , ' . ' .
If it had been in operation would it
not have saved the producers of wheat
alone thousands of dollars in transpor
tation charges?
For . months the D, P. & A. N. Co.
have toiled along as best they could'
without the use of. the portage road.
What measures have . Mi. Hobart ever
taken to enable the Regulator line to.
continue its use? Where is there a
record of his protest against its discon
tinuance, or of any effort made by him
to reopen it? ' - .
If he is paid a good salary for superin
tending and operating the portage, why
has he opt superintended and operated
it, and does his salary continue for not
doing so? . - ' .
. When these questions are answered,
we will then be better enabled to judge
whether it is necessary for the Klickitat
farmers, who have heretofore ' hauled
their wheat to The Dalles, to haul it to
Columbus as they are now doing. The
effect is so far-reaching that the Dia
mond. Flour Mills'of this city do not re
ceive enough for their own conBump
tion, and are compelled vto pay above
the market price for wheat. Their fig
ures yesterday were 50 cents a bushel
This figure does not indicate prosperity
for the farmer, for the market for home
use is limited. .It is -also a figure of
fered at the sacrifice of the flour milling
company by force of pressure of the
larger transportation company, who re'
ceive the bulk of the crop for shipment
at Columbus, and out of which they ex
tract a generous- toll for shipment to
Portland. ' '
A. O. V. W. Entertainment.
drew a room foil of, people at the Bald
win opera bouse last night, and they
were well repaid for going. There were
present upon the stage' Mrs. Hoi pi an,
grand chief of honor; Mrs. Young, past
granc" chief ; Mrs. Maggie Huston, grand
recorder; E. ' Worlin, ' grand, master
workman. and D. C. Herrin, grand lec
turer.. After a very fine, chorus by a
number of voices composing the Degree,
of Honor choir, Mrs. M. E. Brigge ap
peared upon the stage and delivered' an
address of welcome. . We are at a loss to
find sufficient words of praise to prop
erly describe this address. With great
elocutionary power, Mrs. -Briggs de
livered a welcome so replete with beau
tiful, sentiment, the- whole pervaded
with an overpowering spirit of frater
nity, that the moments required in de
livering it .sped by unmarked..' The
response was by Grand Master Worlin,
who in an interesting address of con
siderable length appealed to all to join
the Workmen, closing " with the scrip
tural quotation that he who did not pro
vide for his own family was worse than
an infidel.. A pretty vocal duet followed
by Mrs. O. Stephens and Mrs. . Young,
assisted by Messrs. . Jesse Crandall and
Dr." Doane. Grand Lecturer D. C. Her
ri n then surprised 1 his friends by a
forceful address upon ' the benefits of
Workmanship, answering every charge
of its enemies by facts and figures which
were invincible. Mr. Herri u shows
qualities valuable for a statistician. . . His
bead contains more figures than an old
fashioned Rays arithmetic. ' He - was
listened to . carefully to the . close. A
vocal Bolo by Dr. Doane followed. The
gentleman was in - good voice and the
selection was much appreciated. Mies
Jennie Russell next recited a very dra?
matic - recitation which claimed the
closest attention. -After a chorus, a
tableau was given entitled "Charity,
Hope and Protection." It was very
beautiful and most effective, embodying
at a glance the lesson to be learned by
the program which had preceded it.
Owrogf to the great crowd of people pres
ent, no effort was made to secure names,
but. the entertainment cannot fail of
largely increasing the membership of
the order. The A. O. U. W. has fairly
opened the amusement season.'
