WAYSIDE GLEANINGS.
Random ODiervRtlont and Ijoeal Eveotl
of Leaser Magnitude.
Weather Tonight fair; Friday, fair
and warmer.
Remember Frazier's auction on the
17th inst. The orchard to be sold will
bear inspection.
The Dalles Commission Co. will to
night ship a carload of plums to Chicago.
Chas. Frazier's fine orchard, which
will be auctioned off on July 17th, is
only twenty minutes walk from the
courthousa.
This is the season of the year when
the early worm hole, with pale-yellow
and hornblende-green apple around it,
comes to the front as summer fruit.
Some are fruit, but most of them are
flesh.
July 13th round trip tickets to Pen
dleton can be purchased for the sum of
$4.25. The great Democratic luminary,
W. J. Bryan, speaks on the 14th, and
the O. R. & N. proposes to give all its
patrons who desire to do so, a chance to
hear him. Those intending to go will
please inform C, L. Story by tomorrow
(Friday) evening,
Fern Lodge, D. of H., installed Us offi
cers last night, paid per capita tax on
144 members, and had ice cream galore.
There is nothing slow about Fern, and
besides the regular bi-weekly issue of
the Fern Leaf, edited by Miss Pearl
Dean, was read and appreciated. It was
one of the best numbers, though it pad
dled some of us pretty hard.
E. J. O'Donnell, the pioneer settler
of Hartford Junction, in Snohomish
county, has recently come into a small
fortune, an aunt in Marysville, Cal.,
having died leaving a fortune of $100,
000, $40,000 being given to charity, the
remaining $60,000 to be divided among
four brothers and eistere, Mr. O'Donnell
being one of the four. Mr. O'Donnell
has a wife and five children.
Hon. . B. Dufur arrived home last
night from an extended trip through
Sherman county. He does not want to
be considered "wild in his ideas," but
insists that Sherman county will har
vest 3,000,000 bushels ot wheat, and
that the average yield will be not less
than twenty-two bushels per acre. Mr.
E. E. Lytle, who has also just returned
, from Sherman, says the crop is just
simply a wonder.
The enterprise of our contemporary is
commendable, but expensive. Last
night having nothing else to stir up the
hilarity, the editor's dog got into a
heated discussion with a purp belonging
to the captain of the steamer Regulator.
The steamer dog was the smaller and
perhaps for that reason raised the dis
turbance, but he was "sandy" just the
same. It was a sanguinary affair, each
dog holding on even after the owners and
bystanders had lifted them by tail holds
from the ground. The fight was finally
declared a draw, but in the break-away
the Democratic devil got his wrist badly
bitten. '
The transit instrument of the state
university, which a month ago was
stolen from the university in Eugene,
was found Sunday morning by G. W.
Cochran at the corner of Lawrence and
Clark streets, in Eugene. It was placed
in the gutter under' the crosswalk, with
about a foot of the instrument showing.
At the time of the theft the regents
rightly judged that the instrument was
taken in the hope of receiving a reward,
and therefore refused to offer one. The
placing of the instrument where it could
be found shows the culprits lost hope of
securing any regard for their nefarious
work.
One of the observers who should be
qualified to pronounce judgment upon
the state of the times about the country
is the traveling circus man. One of
theBe men, belong to a show the name
of which is well known, has said recently
that in a journey half-way over the
continent the business of the circus has
shown an improvement over last year,
and that in almost every town he has
noticed a great deal of painting and fix
ing over of buildings. He says the peo
ple have appeared almost everywhere to
be happier and in eaaier financial cir
cumstances than for the past few sea
sons. The New Administration.
A DRAWING CARD.
The D.
The city government has changed,
bnt affairs move along without a ripple.
Mayor Nolan succeeds Mayor Menefee,
names the new officers, whom the coun
cil promptly confirm, and everything
runs as smoothly as a Sunday school
picnic or a country wedding. Marshal
Lauer succeeds himself and very prop
erly, for be has made a good officer, and
the re-appointment of Julius Wiley as
nightwatchman is a deserved recogni
tion of his merit. The only change is in
the recorder's office, W. Phelps going
out and Roger B. Smnott going in. Mr.
Phelps .has made a record of which he
may justly feel proud. The clerical
work of his office has been kept up cor
rectly and neatly, and in the judicial
branch he has made a record that has
no more flaws than that of the renowned
Haroun, Caliph of Bagdad. His suc
cessor will maintain the standard, and
dispense justice with a generous band,
"$10 or five days" being about the least
Roger would be willing to offer any ap
plicant. The appointments seem to
meet with general approval, and Mayor
Nolan is to be congratulated upon the
peaceful launching of the ship of state.
Notice to Water Consumers.
The hours for irrigating are from 6 to
8 a. m. and 6 to 8 p. m. every even day
under the bluff and every odd day on
the bluff. I ask every water consumer
to strictly, observe these rules from
now on. L J. Norman, .

P. A. N. Make a BtrlKe With
Tamwater Indians.
The most attractive feature of the
parade at'Portland was the. band of In
dians from Tumwater, carried down by
the D. P. & A. N. Co.
Agent Allaway had explained to them
something of the size of the city of
Portland, of the big bridges and the
ships, yet it was easily seen they all
thought he was deceiving them. As the
boat approached the city, and they real
ized eomewhat the wonders of civiliza
tion, they began to take in the regular
old 4th of July feeling. They got on the
hurricane deck of the Regulator and be
gun beating their tomtoms and dancing
the war dance of their tribe. The blue
jackets of the monitors turned out to
cheer them, the boats and the shops of
the city whistled and saluted them, and
in less than no time a crowd of fully
5000 were at the wharf to meet them.
Their ponies were brought out, and it
was found that one ot the tribe had no
horse. Mr. Allaway telephoned to one
of the livery 6tables for a cayuse, and
the stableman thinking to have some
fun, sent a regular devil of a horse with
a buck like a wood saw, but the buck
who rode him proved to be a dandy and
stayed with him like a clothes pin. All
along the line of the parade, the Indian
contingent received the heartiest ap
plause. Tney went on the Monterey
and surrounded by the admiring sailors,
gave a war dance.
They came home delighted with their
trip, and with some improved and Drob
ably exaggerated notions as to the won
ders of the white man's world. ''
