be held Thursday evening at the Court
PEASE
house. H. W. W. Craven and H. L.
Wilson will be the speakers, and the
members of all parties, especially the
Populists, are invited.
Rev. W. C. Curtis preached yesterday
at the First Congregational church in
Portland, taking for his text the words
of Joseph to his brethren (Genesis 1:19V
Am I in the place of God 7" The Ore-
gonian commented upon it at length in
its issue of yesterday. ,
One of the fiehing scows pnt in to
shore the other night just over some
hidden rocks. Before morning the river
fjell four inches, and it was impossible
to get it off. It was therefore blocked
up and must remain till high water next
June. Four men. were thrown oat of
employment by the mishap. '
Even the boys and girls of The Dalles
are taking an" active interest in politics.
At a party of young folks the other night
they were discussing the political situa
tion, whjjn one of them, slightly worsted
in argument, retaliated : . .. "Wait till
election day; and you'll see plenty of
Bryan men." The answer was ready
enough: "Yes, but yon won't see any
the day after.". -
Jap' Minto, ex-county treasurer of
Salem, has been committed to the insane
asylum. "Jap" has been in a partially
demented condition since the June elec
tion and a few weeks ago he suddenly
disappeared from Salem. After' several
days it was ascertained that he had gone
on a hunting expedition to Benton
county and later he was seen in Lane
and Douglas counties. .
The Baker City Epigram says: "We
are informed that about $17,500 worth of
county scrip advertised last June td be
registered according to law" within sixty
days failed to pat in an appearance,
therefore will be cancelled. This, to
gether with the interest, will amount to
nearly $30,000 quite a saving to the
county. The scrip 'is supposed to be
held by eastern parties."
The largest sturgeon catch of the sea
son . was brought to the express office
this morning. : They were caught by the
Bunnell Bros, at Ceiilo.' The fiab were
all large, not one of tbem under 100
pounds, and their combined ' weight was
2,430 pounds.' At four cents a pound
this increases the county's wealth nearly
$100. The Bunnell Bros., unlike other
sturgeon fishermen, never catch any
small fish. If this were the case with
all, the stargeoii industry wonld always

The Immensity of It. . '
Mr. Geo.'-T. Fraiher of Hood River,
who is in town today, says that his eec-.
tion will produce two or three times as
large a strawberry crop as the past sea
son. If that is the case strawberries
will go out from there by the train load
next season, for twice ' during last June
the output was two full carloads from
Hood River. Mr. Prather's prediction
is contingent, ot course, upon the season
being favorable, which it was not this
year. A further reason is that the acre
age has been doubled. So id any new
plants have been set out that they rose
greatly in price , over any former year.
Usually there are plants to give away.
He states, as an instance of the remark
ablejnprease of planting, that within a
radius of a half mile the following new
patches have been set: Batebam, 7
acres, Watson and Loy 15 acres, Coe and
Stranahaa' 5 acres, Davenport 6 acres,
Jones 4 acres. The fame of the Hood
River district is growing rapidly as a
berry producer, and will soon be the
subject of as much speculation in trade
reviews as the orange groves of Florida,
the Mississippi cotton belt, and the
grape-growing regions of New York
state. . - - '- '
A. Bryan Meeting.
Judging from the comparative attend
ance Friday and Saturday eveniug at the
court house, The Dalles is safely a Mc-
Kmley . town. At ; the Bryan meeting
Saturday night there was about two
thirds the attendance of the.McKinley
meeting the evening previous,-and a
portion even of these were well-known
McKinley supporters. The principal ef
fort was made by Judge Bennett, whose
argument is already made familiar by
the extravagant claims of the Brvan
party press.. Other features of the even
ing were a long and labored effort by
Mr. Thos. Harlan of Mosier, an -unintelligible
address by an old gentleman
named Willis living near the city, and a
rambling disconrse by Mr. Thos. Den
ton. The meeting was not marked by
the enthusiasm of the night previous,
and we advise those spectators who were
present to attend the meeting next
Thursday evening, at which Hon. H,
W. Craven of Seattle and Hon. H. L
Wilson of ' Spokane will expound some
good Republican doctrine.
Paying: an Obligation.
- Geo. Watson "wa8 tried before Justice
G. T. Prather at Hood River Saturday
and committed to jail in the sum of $508
bonds, to await the action of the grand
jury. The complaint was brought by
Lillie Anderson for- obtaining money
under false pretenses. ' It is alleged that
Watson had given Lillie a watch to se
cure a debt of $2.50, when . it transpired
that the watch belonged to Dr. Adams.'
He' claimed the property, which was
given up, and now the Anderson wants
the $2.50. --'''- : . "

slept till morning without crying, and
her injury was . not ascertained until
about 7 o'clock this morning, when she
complained of a pin sticking her shoul
der. On examination thev jagged end 'of
a bone was seen to be pushing up the
skin. Mr. Benton saw at once that her
collar bone was broken, and summoned
Dr. Hollister by telephone. The child
did not cry or squirm while he set the
bones in place and bandaged them, and
when he" left, solemnly inquired of her
mother, "Mamma,- where did that .coon
go to?" This is really the pluckiest
child we ever heard of.' "
. A. Reelected Industry. w
Though not an ideal bee country, the
industry in Wasco county has been
almost totally neglected. There could
be considerable money made In this
business by some one possessing the
knowledge and inclination to handle
them. C. L. Johnson, who lives two
miles north of Hillsboro, has bees to the
number of Iwenty-fonr colonies. From
these he has taken 1,700' pounds of as
nice honey as ever went into market.
Mr. Johnson is a skilled and . painstak
ing apiarist, and the honey "from his
colonies is sealed by the bees in new
white-wood boxes, that go to 'market in
fine shape. June and July were good
honey months. '-
Christian Endeavor.
President Alfred ; Hoering, of the
Wasco County Christian ' Endeavor
Union, accompanied by E. H. Merrill
drove out to Dufur yesterday .to perfect
arrangements for the Christian Endeavor,
convention to be held at that place
October 6th and 7th. They found the
Endeavorera very enthusiastic in regard
to the convention, and anxious 'for the
day to come. : Tbey were assured that
Duforites wonld open their hearts and
homes to all Christian Endeavorera of
the county who would attend, a good
time' is assured and everything is now in
readiness. Those wishing to attend will
send . their names to the county secre
tary, Miss Etta Story, The Dalles.
