Those Pickaninnies are well worth
hearing, and also seeing.' Each of the
little fellows resembles the Nile in that
they have deltas instead of mouths, and
one look at them reminds one irreaista
bly of ths dreamy summer in Peach
blow Paradise.
Umatilla county's wheat crop will be
worth more than $3,000,000 and its other
crops more than $1,000,000. This is a
better showing in proportion to the
number of people interested than the
Klondike, or any other gold fields have
ever made.
D. C. Christie, of North Yakima, has,
sold the horse Ben L. to C. W. Wilmot,
for a consideration of $300. He has no
record, but has traveled a mile in 2:17,
and has made the last quarter in a four
mile heat in 0 :Zl., which is a 2 :05 gait.
His sire is White Prince, by Tamolian,
and his dam is Julia, by Rifleman.
It is probable that the annual fire
men's tournaments will be discontinued
for some time. The Dalles boys feel that
they have been treated shabbily by the
neighboring towns, and will take no fur
ther part in the meetings, and as most
of the other towns seem to feel tbe same
way, the outlook for future meetings is
far from encouraging.
Another load of huckleberries, amount
ing to 40 gallons, arrived in . Skamania
from the "patch" the other morning.
The berries were brought in on a couple
of cayuses and a siwash. This luscious
fruit is exceedingly plentiful this year,
and the bushes are ioaded as they were
never known to be loaded hefore, says
the Skamania Pioneer.
Dr. Hershberger's experiment in fig
growing in Adams county, has proved
very satisfactory to himself. One tree,
scarcely twenty-eight inches in height,
has borne an even three dozen figs,
most of which were cut off before they
ripened. A few, however, were allowed
to ripen, and they were of a very large
variety and excellent flavor.
The court house is as quiet as a coun
try churchyard, no marriage licenses no
nothing. Taxes are coming in slowly, and
none of the guests at the hotel Driver
have expressed any intention of leaving
before October. At the recorder's office
there isn't even a d. d., and in the East
End, while there is considerable busi
ness, there is nothing to make news
items.
The improvement of the Alsea river,
in Benton county, begun in June, is
about half completed. The work con
sists chiefly in blasting out and remov
ing rocks in the stream so that scows
laden with freight from the Alsea vallev
:an De navigated to the Alsea bay.
Dout six men are employed in the
lerations, and a great amount of blast
ing has been done. Charted OhnrKh nf
irtiand, is tbe contractor.
JLne Oregon delegation seems very
slow about making recommendations
for federal appointments. It looks now
as though nothing would be done in the
matter until congress meets, unless it is
to select successors to the district attor
ney and marshal. These offices become
vacant next month. Tbe fight made
for Judge Fee for the former office has
served to unite forces against Mr.
Driver, who wants the marshalship,
simply because Fee's friends think both
offices will not be filled from Eastern
Oregon.
The profitable result of hard work is
shown in the instance of Johnny Hogan,
who left North Yakima last year with
little money, but plenty of determina
tion, and took up a sagebrush ranch near
Toppenish, says the Yakima Herald.
i.ni8 year he has 2000 bushels of wheat
for sale, and will be able to pay for his
ranch, meet all expenses and have
money left over.
The average mean temperature for
the past ten days has averaged about as
mean as it was possible. A week ago
today a person felt that a barrel or tub
was about tbe only garment a fellow
was safe from getting lost from himBelf
in, as he perspired from every pore ; and
now the wind whistles around a fellow's
thinly-clad system as though it were
bent on a mission of warning from the
glaciers of Chilcoot pass.
Three four-horse teams laden with
plunder such as is generally found in
emigrant outfits, came across from
Klickitat county this morning. The
owners were probably bound from some
place they did not like, to some other
place which they will "like worse" in
the course of a year, and then they will
move again. Once the moving habit is
acquired, the desire to gather moss or
spend time in incubating ceases.
"Sandy" Thompson, Wallowa county
cattleman, delivered 700 head of 2-, 3
and 4-year-old steers in Elgin last Tues
day to C. N. Thompson, of Chicago.
The steers were weighed at Enterprise,
and the purchase price is not made
public, although it 19 known to be better
than 21 cents on foot. The sale
amounts to about $20,000, and about
winds up Mr. Thompson's stock interest
in Wallowa county. He expects to go
to Prineville before long.

Lewis D. Ains worth, aged 28 years.
The funeral -will take place tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock, unless other ar
rangements are made upon hearing from
relatives.
Lewis D. Ains worth was born in Iowa
in 18G9, and first came to The Dalles
March 1. 1890, accepting a position in
French & Co.'s bank, which he held
until compelled to gi" i im -n accon
of sicknessIn 1893 he was married to
Maggie, aaugnter of air. and Mrs. G.
W. Rowland. He was taken sick soon
after the firemen's tournament in the
fall of 1893, the disease soon developing
into consumption. In 1894, accom
panied by his wife, he went to Arizona
and after a year or tnore there without
receiving permanent benefit, went to
Hawaii, returning to The Dalles laBt
spring.
He leaves, besides his wife, a little
daughter aged about 3 years, a father
and mother, a sister and two brothers,
and a large circle of friends.

THE DAINTY MULE.
He Will Drown If He Gets Water in
III Ears.
Mr. S. G. Hart of Colorado is on his
way to Skaguay with twenty-nine mules
which he will use in packing across the
White pass. We fear Mr. Harts venture
will prove unprofitable.
A mule resembles a woman in a great
many respects besides its ability to kick
without cause, and that one trait com
mon to both critters, that "When they
will they will,, depend on't, and when
they won't they won't, and that's tbe
end on't," iswhat will cause Mr. Hart
trouble. A mule is great on the pack as
long as he is on good solid ground. He
can hump his back and climb a hillside
like a cat, but when the ground is soft
he is a different bird. His feet are
small and he knows it. Once- get him
on soft ground and down he goes on his
belly and there he remains until his
pack comes off. This is especially true
ot him in the enow or in tbe Water.
Once get a mule down in the water, if It
is no deeper than his" knees, if he gets
water in his ears he will drown. Going
from Sunshine into Bodie, six miles,
many a mule has been drowned on the
mountain side where they would get off
the beaten enow into the slush on the
upper Bide of the grade.
The Oregon cayuee is the animal for
the Alaska trails, and will go where the
dainty footed mule can neither be driven,
coaxed nor dragged. As an article of
diet this winter honora are probably
about easy between them, and this will
be the principal use for them until next
spring.
Farewell to G. W. Phelps.
' Last night about forty couples, includ
ing the Elks and a number of invited
guests, met at Elks' hall tcspend a
social hour, bid, good-bvV and ex
tend their best wishes toone of their
umber, G. W. Phelps, wlfo left on the
o'clock train for Heap ner, where he
nters into law partnership with Hon
Ellis.

ark LongA Dancine was interspersed
with the program, and was thoroughly
enjoyed as the evening was cool and the
dancers just in the mood to enter heart
ily into the first dancing of the season.
At 11 o'clock, the usual hour for re
membering absent brothers, after form
ing the circle of Elks, F. W. Wilson, in
a few remarks spoke feelingly of their
regret at parting with Mr. Phelps and
bade him God speed in the name of the
order, when all drank to the departing
brother.
As the clock struck 12 Mr. Phelps.Mn
a very appropriate manner, thanked the
members and his friends for their good
will, and said that words could not ex
press the regret be felt at leaving his
Dalles friends, after which all shook
hands with and bade him good-bye.
IN the United States now enjoying food cooked in the MA
JESTIC affirm that the half has not been said in its
praise. The manufacturers of this Range pledge them
selves that all parts of the MAJESTIC except tbe firebox
and the new Beries Nob. 201 to 212, are made of steel and mal
leable iron, and purchasers are assured that it is as good and
as honest as skilled labor and money can produce. If the parts
now ia malleable iron were (as in other so-called steel ranges)
made of cast iron, the price could be greatly reduced ; but the
MAJESTIC is not made with a view to furnishing extra
puts for repairs.
