he Columbia Southern expects to get
its road completed by Friday night.
There is lots of work piled up for it to
do, and it will be kept busy until
Christmas moving the wheat crop. The
road is losing $300 a day by not beintk
completed, as farmers need money and
are hauling their wheat to Rufus.

The weather this morning, was quite
chilly, cold enough at least to set the
heads of the households thinking about
the winter's fire-wood. There is plenty
of it on the beach and more coming, and
now is the time to get it stored in wood
shed or cellar. It is said that an abund
ant crop of acorns indicates a eevere
winter, and if this be true, you can't
get too much wood. There are 50,000
bushels of acorns in Hood River valley,
great big fat fellows that would fatten
hogs as well as corn ; but nearly all of
this mast is going to waste.
The O. R. & N. is doing a large
amount of work in straightening its
track. At Mosier a dozen teams and
twice as many men have been engeged
for a couple of months in taking two or
three bad kinks out of the 'track, and
next week work of the same kind will
be begun at the Cascades. One of the
most troublesome curves on the road is
the long trestle across Mill creek, which
sticks every heavily loaded train going
west. A survey has been made with the
intention of overcoming this but work
has not vet commenced on it.
Too l.ate for This Term.
Portland has been having genuine
webfoot showers for the past few days.
but fortunately they have not yet
reached this ' side of the mountains,
though the clouds have threatened rain
for a day or two. The harvest is all
completed except in the Palonse, and
there it is about done, so that little dam
age could now be done except to the
threshed wheat that remains uncovered
in the fields.
The Hood River fair begins Wednes
day next, and the display of fruits will
be one of the finest ever seen in the
Northwest. The railroad and boat
lines have made special rates for the oc
casion, and we urge all interested in
fiuit-growing and all who like to see
beautiful disolavs of orchard and vine I
products to attend. The fair begins
Wednesday and holds over Thursday and
Friday.
The funeral of the late Charles John
ston took place from the Masonic hall
this morning at 10 o'clock, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev. W. C.
Curtis, followed by the rites of the order
of which deceased was an honored mem
ber. The casket was covered with
flowers, simple tributes of love and
friendship. The long procession that
wound its way out to the city of the
dead, spoke more eloquently than words
of the esteem in which the dead engin
eer was held. '
Even gum-chewing may stand one in
good stead upon occasion, as one young
woman of Camden, Me., found during
an ascent of Mount Battle. - She wore
a short "skirt and it caught on a broken

calmly took the gum she was chewing
from her mouth, put the torn parts of
the dress into place and fixed them
there with it. Anybody who has inad-

William Otr Killed.
William Orr, an employe of the Walla
Walla - Gas & Electric Co.,' suffered
horrible . death Saturday morning by
being crushed beneath a falling pole.
Mr. Orr, in company with John
Mayer and Henry Lunsford, was en
gaged in removing the electric light
wires on Fourth street, near the old W.
& C. R. depot, when a rotten pole gave
way, dashing him a distance of sixty
feet to the ground. Orr waB beneath
the pole when be struck the earth, the
full weight of the pole resting on his
breast and crushing the lower -part of
his body beyond all semblance of hu
manity. While, falling he made repeat'
ed attempts to swing clear of the-pole,
and when, as it neared the ground, it
seemed to become evident to him that
he could not succeed, he was heard to
exclaim, "Oh my God!"
'Although frightfully mangled, he ear
vived until he had been taken to St
Mary's hospital where he expired while
Drs. Cropp and Nelms were endeavoring
'to ascertain the extent of his injuries.
Orr had been a resident of Walla
Walla for a considerable time and bore a
good reputation. He leaves one child, a
daughter, who is at present in Spokane,
His wife deserted him in 1894.

now in malleable iron were (as in other so-called steel ranges)
made of cast iron, the price could be greatly reduced ; but the

Several suits that were intended to be
brought in the November term of court
will have to lay over until the February
term. The law provides that in the
service of summons by publication the
summons shall be inserted in a weekly
newspaper for such time as the judge
shall direct, but not less than once-a
week for six successive weeks. The su
preme court has decided that ibis means
the summons must be printed seven
times, and that the defendant must be
cited to answer by the first day of the
term after the expiration of the sum
mons. As there can only be six inser
tions in a weekly paper before court
meets, November 8th, service by publi
cation cannot be had for the November
term.

Farmers near Garfield are trying an
experiment in. sowing fall wheat. A few
sowed their early summer fallow to
wheat in June, and the grain is now
from four to six inches high and grow
ing nicely.' The object of the early sow
ing ia to get the seed in the ground be
fore the June rains so that all of it will
come np and get a good start before cold
weather. .. .
Besides getting well-rooted, the wheat
makes fine fall pasture, lasting until tbe
ground is too damp to Allow tramping.
Another advantage claimed is that the
wheat will be high enough during tbe
winter to hold the snow from blowing
off, and thus the roots will be protected
by the tops arid the snow from the freez
ing and thawing of the ground, which,
in the past, has proved so. disastrous to
winter wheat. .
Senator McCroekev has 200 acres of
this wheat, which now affords splendid
pasture for stock, and there are several
other fields in this vicinity. One field
between Garfield and Farmington is
fully six inches bigb, and covers the
ground with a perfect carpet, giving the
appearance of a field in June, and mak
ing a beautiful contrast 'with the fields
of ripened grain which surround it on
all sides. .'.'" '' " .
