Harvest has fairly began, and the
wheat yield is exceeding all estimates.
Christian Endeavorers are still crowd
ing the trains from San Francisco to
Portland.
The Oregonian says Col. O. Summers
is certain to be appointed U.S. Marshal.
Its information is like some of that from
the Clondyke, probably received over
the grape-vine telegraph.
The Elite Candy factory has juat put

The examination of E. Simmons,
Brown and Robert Wilson is being held
before Justice Filloon this afternoon.
The examinations are being made separ
ately, but as one goes so will probably
all. Mr. F. W. Wilson is handling the
defense.
The United States crop report, show
ing the relative condition of winter
wheat for June and July, gives the June
condition in Oregon as 100 and July as
92. This is certainly a mistake. The
conditions have not changod except for
the better. The July condition of win
ter wheat is perfect.

tr,ail from Dyea to Fort Selkirk, on the
Yukon. The distance is 350 miles, and
it is said the trail can be kept open and
traveled all winter. If this is true, it
will greatly lessen the danger of starva
tion in the Clondyke this winter.
The bicycle path from Il4yaco to Sea
view has been finished. A neat trian
gular landing has been built at the end
of the track, opposite Xhe Ilwaco rail
road depot, for the accommodation of
riders, and railings are being put up
along the track at all dangerous places.
Captain McNulty brought the little
propeller Pearl up from Portland to Vi
ento Saturday. She belongs to the Ore
gon Lumber Co., and will be used in
towing from the mouth of the Little
White Salmon to Viento. Some of the
steamboat men thought she could not
stem the rapids below the Locks, but
Captain McNulty says she came through
like a bird.

The citizens of Marshfield, Myrtle
Point and other towns in Coos county
have complained somewhat of a sugar
famine, but Coquille has been worse off.
There there has been a shortage of flour.
sugar, butter, eggs and fruit jars, and
steamers and trains would come and go
without replenishing the stocks of flour
and sugar.
The Odd Fellows hall in Pendleton is
being moved and the contents of the
copper box deposited in the corner-stone
of the building May 8, 1879, have been
removed. The articles contained in the
box consist principally of a number of
coins, two business cards, several news
papers, a copy of the old constitution
and by-laws and the family record of
Lot Livermore.
The grand lodge of the Degree of
Honor honored itself, bb well as The
Dalles, in-selecting Mrs. BriggB of this
city as its chief officer. No better selec
tion could possibly have been made, for
besides being a woman of great energy
and business capacity, Mrs. Briggs is
also a deep reasoner and an eloquent
speaker. If the order does not prosper
under her leadership, it will be indeed
strange.
Heater's examination on a charge of
horse stealing occupied two days, and re
sulted in his discbarge. It seems there
was a dispute as to the ownesship of the
horse, which had belonged to a man
amed Sterling, but which Parodi claim-
id had been turned over to him in pay-
ent of a debt. The evidence for the
efense showed that Sterling bad given
eater permission to take the horse, and
ence he was discharged. A complaint
as lodged against him of being drunk,
'and on this he was fined $25, which he
is settling by remaining in jail.
Frank Stavers was found lying on the
floor of Richardson's blacksmith shop
at Rainier, last Sunday morning, in an
unconscious condition. He had been
working as a blacksmith in Mr. Richard
son's shop tor several weeks, and was
sleeping in a loft overhead. To reach
bis bedroom it was necessary to ascend
a ladder about 12 feet, and' then go on
the narrow walk over the joists to his
room. It is thought that during Satur
day night he had attempted to go to bed,
and fell off the walkway to the floor
e died of his injuries Tuesday.
Arthur Perry, well known in Seattle,
as written friends in that place from
wson, under date of June 18th, saying
e first discovery of gold on the Clon
ke was made in August 1896, by
eorge Cormack. Then further along
bis letter he tells how 300 men went
mid-winter from . Circle City, and
adds a sentence that those going will do
well to- ponder. says, "the ceek
was soon staked from one end to the
other, and all the small gulches were al
so staked and recorded." That part of
the Clondyke story can be taken as -be
ing absolutely true.

HcClore'f Magazine for August.
The August McClure's is issued as a
sdecial Midsummer Fiction Number, and
without ignoring serious intereets, it
justifies its title in an iminent and most
entertaining degree. A complete novel
ette by Rudyard Kipling, dealing with
s( hool life in England and army life in
Ii dia, and obviously written straight
ai id hot from the author's own personal
perience, would alone, especially with
its admirable illustrations, make the
nhmber distinguished. But there are
four or five short stories stories by
C&nan Doyle, Robert Ba'rr, John Ken-
duck Bangs, and others, each more or
lets novel and enticing in incident and
interest, and most of them also attrac
tively illustrated.
