The East End was crowded with
wheat teams this morning, most of the
wheat being delivered for storage. Mer
chants are feeling the revival of the fall
trade, and every store-keeper reports
good sales.
Tacoma real estate must be yery valu
able these days. The Cheonicle was
recently offered a city lot for a few
months advertising, but the prospect of
paying the worth of the property everv
year in taxes was enough to make the
business manager dislike the proposi
tion. - " ,
Congressman Ellis is expected to ar
. rive in The Dalles shortly, to remain a
couple of days. The exact date of his
arrival has not been determined. While
here he will listen to recommendations
about the various local appointments to
be made.

. The Dalles City took on 400 sheep at
Lyle this morning for Troutdale. Ow
ing to the boat leaving earlier than
usual this morning several- passengers
missed connection. One -man driving
four loose horses was seen hurrying
down Second street this morning and in
a few minutes he came back at a' more
leisurely gait, haying got in there in
time to see the boat well started from
the dock.
The Chicago wheat market was steady
and the - price in The Dalles did not
change from the eighty-cent mark.
Yesterday's government report gave the
European deficiency at 113,000,000, and
says little help' is to be expected lrom
India, Argentina or Australia for months
tq come. There is not the utmost con
fidence in the crop reports issued by the
government', ae it is claimed the work
is loosely done; but people who watch
the situation all agree in aaying that
those who have wheat cannot lose by
holding it.
The Salvation Army is preparing for a
grand "Harvest Festival," to be held
next Saturday, Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday evenings. A harvest ship will
be prepared, loaded with all manner of
good things. Tuesday evening the vari
ous articles will be sold. Meetings will
be held all day Sunday.. The members
of the Army are going to considerable
trouble to arrange the festival, and have
asked the farmers and merchants to
contribute some articles for the sale. It
is hoped the request will meet with a
generous response.
Judge Bennett received word this
afternoon that the suoreme court of
Washington had rendered a decision in
the case of Walker vs. O. R,. & N. Co.
giving judgment for the plaintiff in the
sum of $25,000. Walker was an engineer
living at Colfax, and was killed two
years ago in a wreck. His widow sued
the company, Judge Bennett conducting
the case, and obtained a judgment for
$40,000. The case was appealed-, and
the supreme court affirmed the judg
ment after reducing it $15,000. Judge
Bennett is well pleaeed over the outcome.
President E. E. Lytle, of the Colum
bia Southern, arrived home from Biggs
last night. He reports that the road
will be completed to Wasco not later than
September 25th, and possibly by the
20th. Yesterday the wind blew furious
ly up the Sherman county canyons, and
the men were compelled to quit work
ing.. The dust flew, in clouds, so that
the drivers cod Id hardly see the horses.
The depot grounds at Wasco are covered
with pilea of wheat awaiting shipment.
When the whistle of the locomotive is
first heard in Wasco the joy of its citi
zens will be paat description.
New Flouring Mill;
F. S. Gordon has completed atrange
ments for the erection of bis flour mill
at Tygh, Valley, instead of Wamic, as
he originally contemplated. This is
evidently . a very judicious move, as
Tygh Valley is more centrally located.
The establishment of this up-to-date
Case Co. mill by a thorough and pro
gressive business man, is one of the best
things that has fallen to the lot of that
already prosperous valley for a 'long
time. Every dollar's worth, of flour
made and sold through the mill will add
proportionately to the profits of farming
throughout the entire section in reach
of the mill.
There is no reason why Mr. Gordon
will not be in a position to compete suc
cessfully for the flour trade in any
market, for it is a remarkable fact that
the Case Co. has never placed a mill in
operation that has fallen short in any
way from their guarantee as to class of
machinery or quality and flow of flour;
and their milla have in every, inetance
proven a source of profit to the owners
in various places throughout the north
west. They have also added to the
prosperity and general wealth of every
part of the country in which they are
being operated. No. 1 flour is as good
as gold anywhere.
Literary Note.
. The interiors of one thousand of the
moBt attractive homes in the United
States have been photographed by The
Ladies' Home Journal. One hundred of
the best of these pictures will be repro
duced -in that magazine. The first ar
ticle of the series "Inside of a .Hun
dred Homes" will appear 'in the Octo
ber Journal. Bedchambers, reception
and dining rooms, bathrooms, hails and
apartments, of every kind will be pic
tured just as they are in daily use.
Each picture contains dozens "of sugges
tions. Every woman is interested in
taking a peep into the most attractive
homes in the land, to see how they are
furnished and arranged. She wants to
get practical hints and new fdeas for fur
nishing her own. The houses photo
graphed by the Journal are those occu
pied by persons of. moderate income.
Their interior arrangement shows what
perfect taste can accomplish with a little
money and the touch of a woman's deft
fingers. Homes in every state in the
Union from Maine to California were
photographed for the Journal's unique
and useful series.

The news was received last night that
Dr. Siddall had arrived at Seattle on
his way. home from Skaguay and the in
telligence created much excitement and
interest among the doctor's friends.
The details he gives in the letter pub
lished below fully warrant his 'decision
not to attempt what in all reason is a
hopeless task, and all the doctor's ac
puaintances are glad be has. turned from
what will be a distressing winter. He
is now in Ellensburg, but will be in The
Dalles within a few days. The letter was
written to a friend in The Dalles and
furnishes a graphic and truthful account
of the terrible circumstances surround
ing the gold-seekers :
Skaguay, Tuesday, Sept. 7, 1397.
My Dkab Friend: ,
I have done everything in my power
to get to Bennett lake and I cannot
without paying more than I think I
ought to. The party I contracted with
to .put us to Dawson City for 20 cents a
pound failed,, and now they charge 50
cents on each' trail and the trails are in
such terrible condition that not five per
cent will ever see the lake this fall and
not one per cent will ever see Dawson,
as after they get to the lake they then
have to'pay from $350 to $500 for a boat.
With the ice already forming every
night at the lake,' old timers say it
looks like an early winter and I cannot
think of going 550 miles on ice and pay
such awful prices, and think the only
common-sense way is by St. Michaels.
This route I will take next spring and
be just as far ahead as if I could go in
now. I have sold all my outfits and made
a bargain for a seat in a boat for Dawson
City for $200, but when we get in there
we would not have any grub and the pa
pers are full of reports aboat possible
starvation.
I shall sail for Seattle on the steamer
Seattle today at 5 p. m. and it makes me
just sick, as it is the first time in my
life that I have run up against a snag
and bad to turn back, Jnst think, 50
cents - a pound to the lake would be
$1000! We don't want to buy Alaska
to get to Dawson City particularly, as
there are no new strikes reported.
I have seen several from there who
came through this way, four who left
Dawson City on the 4th of July and one
on the 30th the very day we. left Port
land. There is no doubt but that the
Klondike is awful rich, but anyone go
ing in now will have to hunt for some
thing that may be there. It was just
that way in Cariboo.
. Neither of the parties have got all
their outfits to the lake yet and many
bad a -splendid lot of horeee, but the
trail ia so bad pen cannot describe it.
There are some 1500 head of animals
now on the trail and thoueands of men,
some coming back and going by Dyea,
while others come from Dyea to try it
over this hell on earth of a Skaguay.
This is the worst place for rain you ever
saw; and I wish yod could just take one
look on such an awful and miserable lot
of men. It is pitiable to look at their
sad faces.
We bad the first funeral here on Sun
day. He was-an old man 59 years and
dropped dead from heart failure. His
wife was here and returns to her home
in Snohomish, Wash. It. was a sad af
fair to see us lay him to rest in this
miserable Alaska. Tbey were trying to
get through' to Dawson. The wife was
a Rebekah, and appreciated our kind
ness bo much. D. SlDDALT,.
N the United States now enjoying food cooked in the MA-
ESTIC affirm that the half has not been said in its
praise. The manufacturers of this Range pledge them
selves that all parts of the MAJ ESTIC except the firebox
and the new series. Nos. 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 in malleable iron were (as in other so-called steel ranges)
made of cast iron, the price con Id be ttreatly reduced ; but the
MAJESTIC is not made' with a view to furnishing extra
parts for repairs.
