it is.' We doubt if there is a more pros
perous settlement in the state. Its in
terests bave . heretofore been identical
with The Dalles and it would be better
for all concerned if they were to con
tinue bo; but it should be re.i.embered
that Prineville is not absolutely depend
ant a pon The Dalles as an outlet for its
products. The building of a railroad
from the Willamette valley or the mak
ing of good wagon roads would divert
much trade from the Columbia river.
But bv matting our relations steadfast
with this interior country we could hold
its trade and increase our own commer
cial standing. The building of a tele
phone line would be a great step in the
right direction. It is a suggestion
which, the citjzans of The Dalles can
well consider and be ready to aid should
the opportunity offer.

' The ladies of the Episcopal church are

opera "Pinafore" some time in October,

excellent voices have been secured and
all the preliminary arrangements are
made. The chorus will begin drilling at
once, and the leading performers are get
ting ready for their parts. It is the in
tention to produce the opera on an elab
orate scale, and we are confident the
entertainment will be one of the finest
ever given in The Dalles. "Pinafore" is
one of Gilbert fc Sullivan's greatest suc
cesses, and there is no one in The Dalles
who will want to miss this pleasing re
production. TELEPHONE NEEDED.
A 9anatlon We Think
slderlnp .
Worth Con.
The people of Prineville want tele
phonic communication with the outside
world and sooner or later they are going
to get it. Some time ago some of our
enterprising citizens agitated the ques
tion of building a line to Prineville, bnt
nothing came of the effort. The long
distance line would not handle the prop
osition,and so the matter was allowed to
drop. But there are more ways to kill a
cat than by feeding it to death and be'
cause one attempt has failed it is no
reason why others should not be
made.
The local telephone company, known
as the Seufert-Condon line, have built
and are maintaining a line to Dufur.
We do not know whether it is a paying
investment or not, but are satisfied it is
a great convenience both to the people
of Dufur and The Dalles and much time
and money are saved everv day by its
use. If this company could be induced
to extend its line to Prineville, build it
by way" of Tygh Valley, thus tapping
the rich Wamic country and then
branching to Antelope and other pros
perous settlements, we believe the in
vestment would be a good one to all
concerned. Probably the Seufert-Condon
people do uot feel justified in stand
ing the whole expense, and it would be
no more than right if they were aided
by a liberal bonus,
j We are soon to be in direct telephonic
communication with Goldendale ; there is
j now a sort of service between here and
I points in Sherman county, though it
. does not give the best of satisfaction,
because all messages bave to pass
through a third party at Grants, still it
is considerably better than nothing.
By identifying itself with these in
terior points, The Dalles can be of ser
vice to them as well as reapiug benefits
itself. The information has been given
ns that poles are on the ground between
Tygh Valley and Dufur and this prob
ably means that there is some thought
of extending the line that at present
goes but fifteen miles.
: Anybody who has been to the Prine
ville country knows what a rich section
The Portland market ruled firm dur
ing the pa9t week, and a good amount
of wheat passed into the hands of ex
porters here. Receipts have been quite
heavy, averaging 250 cars per day. Ex
porters' limits are now on ' a parity with
an export basis, but holders Btill cling to
hopes of obtaining fancy prices, and
show no willingness to sell anywhere
near the market, and are asking from 3c
to 6c above the true value of wheat. It
is stated that interior speculators hold
considerable of their early purchases,
and are firm holders. Farmers . bave
sold sufficient wheat to relieve their
pressing necessities, and are not now
free sellers, expecting to realize stiff
prices on the balance of their crops.
Shippers have immediate wants well in
band, and the existing demand relates
wholly to provision for future require
ments. Quotations range from 85c to
86c for Walla Walla, 87c to 88c for Blue-
stem, and 87c to 88c lor valley per
bushel. Two ships cleared last Satur
day for the U. K., carrying 125,000 cen
tals of wheat, and the first cargo of new
wheat cleared from Puget sound, for the
U. K., by Sibson & Kerr, of this city,
last Saturday, carrying 47,471 centals, i
Arrivals of vessels have been very light,
and the river at the present time is
cleaned up of disengaged tonnage.
Three more vessels will finish during
the week. -
Interior advices to hand say that har
vesting is well under way throughout
Oregon and Washington. Some points
report a great scarcity of machinery, es
pecially of headers and binders. Thresh
ing machines seem to be plentiful
enough to thresh all the grain cut, and
are well up with the cutting machines'.
A careful estimate places the amount of
grain cut at about 50 per cent. W hit
man county, the banner county of Wash
ington, has only threshed about 20 per
cent, of the total crop ; Umatilla county,
Oregon, about 60 per cent. In the vi
cinity of Pullman, Wash., fall grain is
not yielding as well as was expected,
but spring-sown grain promises a large
Lyield. In the Idaho district, most of the
grain is cut, tnresnea ana marKerea..
As lias been explained before, America
and Canada can apparently -be relied on
for not morethan 25.000,000 quarter?,
and Russia possibly 14,000,000 quarters,
whilst Roauiania, Bulgaria and Turkey
will be at the utmost able to ship only
5,000,000 quarters. These items give a
total of 44,000,000 quarters, and leave
11,000,000 quarters to be supplied by
Australasia and Argentina, whose crops
are four months from the date of har
vest, and from the minor countries, tuch
as India, Chili, Uruguay and North
Africa. Those who'seek to foretell the
probable future of wheat have only to
answer the question whether this latter
amount will be forthcoming.
