PEASE scrapers and put the roads in condition. We especially commend this work to the supervisors in charge of the road be tween this place and Dufur. Since the publication of the indignant thirteen in yesterday's Dispatch, many a youthful eye lingers on a bicycle, and wonders how soon the roads will permit a trip to that section. That suggestion concern cerning the fishing rod covers, is the cause of it. There is plenty of snow in the moun tains on the head of the Columbia and Snako to give us unusually high water. The tremendous floods in the Mississippi and its tributaries, are but an indi cation of what may, under proper con ditions, be expected here. Will our good weather observer, Mr. Pague, let the light of hia intelligence Bhine on us, and give us a prognostication concern ing the probabilities of high water in tho Columbia?

Our fruit growers appreciate fully the amount of good there has been done, and the informa tion they have received, and will long hold President Miller and Professor Cordley in kindly remembrance therefor.

Lord carelessly asked. "Just 13 years younger than I am now," Mrs. Hampton sweetly and shrewdly answered. This evasion of the question of tbo witness' age wus hailed with a general laugh.
