According to the Spokesman-Review
only about forty per cent of the harvest
ing in the Palouse country is done, and
it is estimated that with the most favor
able weather, thirty days will be re
quired to finish it.
Last week's score at the Umatilla

48; Friday, Jobson, 52; Saturday, J

Today is the day upor which the fire
men's tournament wasto have begun,
and, of course, as Pague did not know
it was declared off, he sent us up a
shower. Anyhow though the races, did
not come off, The Dalles got first water.
There has been quite a rainfall within
the past week, but reports from all parts
of the county are to the effect that no
damage has been done so far except to
delay threshing. Another ' week's rainy
weather would, however, do consider
able damage.

Professor T. S. Lippy, one of the first
to return from the Klondike, and who
brought back with him more than a
coal oil can full of gold, made tbe First
Methodist church of Seattle a present of
$1000 recently, to get the church out of
debt. He also 'gave $500 to the Y. M.
C. A. of Seattle. Before leaving Alaska,
e gave $500 to the Methodist missions
p there.
Mr. Fred. Wilson, who has been over
in bnerman county, arrived home yes
terday, coming in with Mr. Biggs. He
tells us the grain crop in Sherman is
immense, that two temporary ware
houses built by the railroad right-of-way
are already nearly filled with wheat,
that Wasco is booming, many new
houses being built, and that Moro is also
showing great Improvement.
A prominent farmer from Klickitat
county, in replying to our reporter's
inquiry concerning the wheat crop, said
this morning : "The quality is the very
best, but in quantity, the crop, taking
the whole county through, will not aver
age more than sixty per cent of the
normal yield. This condition was caused
by the exceedingly dry spring, which
prevented much of the spring-sown
grain sprouting.
John Hoi ton, an old. Jackson county
pioneer who puts not his trust in banks,
succeeded, by hard labor, in saving be
tween $400 and $500 in gold. He wanted
to take a trip to the seashore during
the warm weather, so he banked Lib
money in his granary and left a dia
gram with his wife, showing the location
of the treasure. When he returned, the
diagram was in the bottom of tbe trunk
and the gold was probably in the bot
tom of somebody's pocket, aa Mr. Hol-
ton hasn't found it yet. A Mr. Egbert
nd his wife stopped with Mrs. Holton
uring Mr. Holton's absence, and Mr.
olton thinks their deDarture was coin-
dent with that of the gold.
The Fourth of July passed without
y celebration here, and tbe firemen's
tournament slipped through like water
through a seive, and now the annual
fair is in shape to do the same thing
if some action is not taken concerning
it. The premium lists and other printed
matter are here, but none of the officials
are on hand. J. O. Mack, secretary of
the association, is now in Pendleton,
and probably located there permanently.
With Mr. Matlock, also of Pendleton, a
little effort will transfer the meetings
from this city to Pendleton. Are we to
let the fair slip by, not . only for this
year, but for all time? It not, a moye
will have to be made, and that speedily.

THE SKAGUAY BLOCKADE.
Mr. John Parrott Writes of the Situa
tion There.
Skaguay, Aug. 27, 1897.
Editor Chronicle :
Dear Sir: I suppose you have heard
something, about the great blockade at
Skaguay City. It Is something a person
would have to see to realize what it is
When your writer first landed here the
blockade meant too much freight and
not enough pack horses, and now it
signifies much more. There are so many
horses that it is almost impossible to get
over the trail, which ' is very narrow.
Pack trains are delayed over one-half
of the time in passing. A number of
horses are killed every day by meeting
in dangerous places where one horse
crowds the other off the trail. Some
fall down and get up without being
hurt, and others fall over the embank
ment anywhere from ten to six hundred
feet.
Three weeks ago Skaguay was a little
city of about 300 white tents, and now
there are about one hundred buildings
under construction and about eight
hundred tents. A saw mill commenced
to cut lumber yesterday, with a capacity
of 30,000 feet daily. One large wharf is
completed and another is under con
struction. Nineteen large steamships
have landed here since August 4th load
ed with miners and their Klondike out
fits. Provisions and board are very
cheap here, providing a person does his
own cooking. Floor is 75 cents per
sack ; a small loaf of bread is worth 25
cents ; beef steak is 40 cents per pound ;
bacon 6 cents per pound ; a very thin
pie eosts 50 cents; dried fruit is
from 6 to 8 cents per pound. The rea
son groceries are so cheap is because
there are so many miners who are
stranded on the pass and are compelled
to sell their outfits at a great sacrifice.
It is an evident fact that not over one
out of fifty will get to Klondike this
winter. Dr. Siddall and I expect to
leave Skaguay City on the 30th, and em
bark on our little boat at the head of
lake Liiiderman Sept. 5th. We have
joined a party of twelve to travel to
gether down the Yukon. There are
several ladies in the party, and we ex
pect to have entertainments, concerts,
Sunday school and a good time gener
ally on our trip to Dawson City.

Foster Badly Crippled.
A. N. Foster, a resident of Haystack,
recently purchased a traction engine,
and in moving it from ' Heppner to Cliff
Jones' place near Heppner, he met with
an accident which will lay him up for
some time, and possibly cost him his
right arm. He was using a team to
guide the engine in ascending the steep
bill south of Heppner,- and succeeded
without a mishap. But later on when
near Cliff Jones' place, where he was to
made his first stop, tbe "blow off" pipe
burst. Foster at once threw off the
steam, but the horses became frightened
and endeavoring to get off the engine,

was thrown on, breaking the -drive
chain, one end striking Foster on the
right arm near the elbow, crushing it
terribly. He was taken to Heppner
and placed in care of physicians who
found the elbow badly mangled, it being
necessary to remove several large pieces
of bone. It was then considered doubt
ful if the arm could be saved, but later
reports from Heppner state that unleBS
serious complications take place, which
are not anticipated at present, his arm
will not have to be amputated.
F. M. Breeding, of Haystack, was
with him at the time of the accident
and narrowly escaped injury.
Fruit Prices.
While fruit is not bringing high prices
this year, it is gratifying to know that
that from The Dalles sells in the top
notch all the time. We notice in the
returns received yesterday for fruit

Bix carloads arriving in one day, two

praise. The manufacturers of this Range pledge them
selves that all parts of tbe MAJESTIC except the firebox
and the new series Nob. 201 to 212, are made of steel and mal
leable iron, and purchasers are as 8 u red that it is as good and
as honest as skilled labor and money can produce. If the parts
now in 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 u view to furnishing extra
