The East . End was decidedly dull to
day, little if any wheat is arriving ow
ing to the farmers being busy, and the
wool season ia about closed, but little

Governor Budd, of California, and

ported he does not expect it will be bis
last visit to Klamath. During Governorl
Baud e absence from California the af-
tairs of state are being looked after by
Lieutenant-Governor Jeter.
Last night Pagne took advantage of
our citizens and sent up a remarkably

of course, has gotten to be a chestnut,
but in the near future will be all right.
Pague has been ordering this kind of
weather for a month, and if he can keep
it up conscientiously for two or three
months n-ore we would suggest that he
be transferred to the Klondike.

beBt division of the wheat belt, the crop
was well farmed and the yietd will be
uniformly large, being conservatively
estimated at thirty bushels to the acre,
or a grand total of 360,000 bushels. Mr.
Vollmer is a pioneer merchant, with
business interests throughout Northern

It ia reported by a visitor from the

Hon.' Thomas H. Tongue has succeed

The wheat harvest in Wasco county is

caused by the cold weather last winter,

when forty bushels were expected the
machines are showing but twenty. As a

Washington seems to have a cinch of
considerable proportions on Oregon with
regard to sheep range. At their last
session the solona of the former state
passed a law which practically prohibits
Oregon sheep from crossing the Colum
bia into Washington territory.
It was learned from Charles Cunning
ham that grass ia crowing scarce on
Eastern Oregon ranges because of over
crowding of the sheep. Tbe conditions
of the Washington law are such that
over 100.000 sheep that would have
crossed the Columbia at Arlington this
season have been kept on the Oregon
aide, making ranges bard to obtain.
Mr. Cunningham remarks that tbe
injustice of this law is made apparent
by the fact that thousands upon thous
ands of Washington sheep have been
driven all along tbe border into tbe
mountain ranges of Eastern Oregon.
Our neighbor is perfectly willing' to
pasture her own sheep on our land, but
says "nit" to reciprocity. E. O.

The Methodist church waa filled last
evening when Dr. W. A. Spencer of
Philadelphia addressed the gathering.
His discourse was directed to show tbe
necessity of building more churches to
shelter the "unsheltered poor." The
subject wa9 ably treated from the stand
point of the Methodist clergy, who con
sider themselves answerable to an Al
