September 22d to October 22d of this

of their labor will be gathered together

F. A. Bounds, of North Yakima, web
thrown a few days ago from a wild cay-use-
which he was riding. As he fell, a
-rope attached to the saddle wound
round his arm, and the cay use running
away. Bounds was dragged several

P. J. McGrail, of Nansene, was in the
city yesterday. He informs us that the
farmers in his neighborhood are begin
ning to baryest their crops and states
that the assertion that this year's crop
will be fully as large if not larger than
any in the history of the state is no ex
aggeration. An error was made in yesterday's' is
sue concerning the death of Minnie
Rondeau. Her age was given as seven
years when it should have been fourteen.
This was no fault of the paper, however,
as it was almost impossible to get any
:0
I I
o
information whatever concerning the
subject.
The men who are pushing to euccess
the Oregon Industrial Exposition are
enterprising and unselfish. They ' are
working hard to bring together a credit
able collection of the products of the
great northwest, and their labor of love
is intended for the benefit of all and
will result in great good to a great
number.
Monday night Deputy United States
Marshal Roberts arrived in the city
from the Warm Springs with an Indian
who is accused of having attempted to
rob the United. States mail between
Wapinitia and the agency. The Indian
was taken to Portland where he will
haVe his hearing. There seems to be a
clear case against him and he will prob
ably go over the road.
Yesterday evening that well known
character "U. P." Sam arrived from his
valley trip and drew a large crowd on
the corner of Second and Court streets.
The present war furnishes him an
abundance of material to sing about and
he furnished his audience with a con tin
ual round of amusement. Sam is get
ting old but bis age does not seem to
effect his ability to make rhymes.
Some idea of the vast importance of
the wool industry in Yakima county
may be had when it is remembered that
there is now stored n the warehouse of
Wiston & Bagger, at Pro6ser, over half a
million pounds of wool from last year's
clip, and all grown and sheared in that
portion of the eounty. As a wool grow
ing district, Yakima is far in the lead of
any portion of the state, either for
bounds produced or length and quality
ot fiber.
Last week H. Maetz held the board at
the Umatilla House alleys every day,
although some of the best bowlers in
the city were striving for honors. His
general average for the week was 62 2-5,
while his daily scores were as follows
Monday 59, Tuesday 61, Wednesday 62,
Thursday 66, Friday 65 and Saturday
60. This is an exceptionally good score.
as there are few bowlers who can hold
the records for an entire week without
falling down. -
The great council of. the Improved
Order of Red Men was held in Portland
vesterdry in Red Men's hall.-. Many
delegates from " the different lodges in
the state were present, and much busi
ness of importance was transacted. The
program for the session includes an ex
cursion up the Columbia and a banquet
last night. Delegates wero present from
Baker City, Sumpter, Bourne, Union,
La Grande, Pendleton, The Dalles, Me
MInnville, Oregon City and Astoria.
Last night Horseshoe bridge, located
about twentyjniiles west of Huntington,
was totally destroyed by fire. The
bridge is 209 feet long, and it will re
quire two or three days to rebuild the
same. In the meantime passengers
will ba transferred across the stream
and traffic will not be suspended. It
has been hardly- three years since a
bridge over the same stream was burned.
The cause of the conflagration is un
known. A large bridge gang has gone
up to repair the damage. '
Mondav S. L. Kretzer. the nrofession-
al drill man, began operations in earnest
on the Kelsay place near this city and
I in four months at the outside he can say
whether or not there is any coal to be
found in the vicinity of Chenoweth
creek. Mr. Kretzer is a man who has
had much experience in this line of bus
iness and will rush the work as fast as
poesibie. The discovery of coal beds in
this vicinity would be the making of
The Dalles, and it is hoped that the ef-
I t forts of Mr. Kretzer and the others in
I Iterested in the scheme will be crowned
I ilrith success.
I I Tha manonovo r,t (V.O T P Xr A "NT
Co., have decided to leave the Regulator
where it is at present located until the
water goes down when it will be
launched. 'It is not expected that the
damage to the boat will be great, how
ever the loss of the craft at this time of
the year will be considerable. The
Dalles City is being put in shape as
rapidjy as possible and will be on the
route again about the 1st of the month.
On account of delay in the shipment of
the machinery for the Inland Flyer the
new boat will not be teady for service as
soon as was expected.
Sunday's Oregonian gave an account
of the death of Washington M. Darrow,
chief musician of the Tenth cavalry, U.
S. A., who was wounded in the battle
of Santiago July 3d, and died at Atlanta
few days later. Mr. Darrow was a
fine musician, and in 1893 was leader of
the Marquam orchestra in Portland.
In 1888 he was stationed at Vancouver,
in which year he married Miss Emma
Brant, who now . resides in Portland,
but who for some time lived with her
sister, Mrs. Sutton, in this city. War
grows to be more of a reality as the
days go by and we hear of the death of
those with whom we are personally ac
quainted, having fallen while fighting
under the stars and stripes.
At a meeting of the members ot the
Congregational church of this city held
last evening, it was voted to extend a
call to Rev. E. V. Polling, of Albany,
to become pastor of the church in The
Dalles. The Congregational society
here has been without a pastor for some
months, while the matter of a choice
has been carefully and prayerfully
weighed. They are to be congratulated
that they have chosen so well, as those
who have heard.. Mr. Polling and know
him personally have no doubt that he
is the man for the place. A strange
coincidence is that three former pastors
of the church here were called from Al
bany Prof. Thos. Condon, W. R.
Batcher and D. B. Grey. It is to be
hoped that the one just called will
prove as successful and be as much be
loved as the former three. His pastor
ate will probably begin the first Sunday
in September.
THE BOAT RAILWAY.
Right ot May for The Dalles Improve
ment Has Been Secured.
It has been several months since any
thing was mentioned concerning the
boat railway at The Dalles, says the
Oregonisn. It is learned at the war de
partment that the right of way has been
about all acquired, and now arrange
ments are in progress between the gov
ernment and the railroad company for
the purpose ot adjusting the differences
existing, so that a complete right of way
can be established. There are many
officials in the war department, how
ever, who believe that a boat railway
will never be built, and that if any im
provement is made at The Dalles it will
have to be by the construction of a canal
and locks. Although engineers have
passed upon the feasibility of a boat
railway, there are yet many who doubt
its practicability or success as a perma
nent improvement. A canal and locks
would always be a permanent improve
ment, and would cost much less for
operation than a boat railway.

'
GlvlDK .n Account of the Conditioned
the Crops Throughout the State
An Immense Yield of Fruit Bd(
Grain Sxpected Everywhere. II
The weather has been . cooler, with
less sunshine than during the preceeding
week. On the 22d, rain fell to
amount of from .02 to .34 of an
along the coast and in the northern
tion of the Willamette valley, m the
lumbia river valley as far as eastward aB
Sherman county, in a portion of Union
county, and about Baker City; else
where a few sprinkles occurred. The
rain delayed the haying in places, but
did no material damage, and the little
damage done was more than offset by
the benefit that was done to the spring
grain. .Haying is well advanced and is
practically completed, except over, the
plateau district where discontinues. The
second growth of alfalfa is being cut,and
the second crop of clover is making good
growth and will make several tons to
the acre in many localities. The hay
crop secured is one of the largest, if not
the largest, ever secured in the state;
the quality ii first-clas, and has been
safely gathered.
Heading and harvesting of fall-sown
wheat are nnder way in all parts of the
state, except in Wallowa, and in the
counties comprising the Plateau district;
the crop is very heavy. Some corre
spondents report that the crop was about
as heavy as in 1806, when the crop was
unusually large and of excellent quality.
Others report it is the largest and best
crop ever harvested. That it is asjgotd
there is no question. The grain is of
good size and plump ; So far there are
no reports of any shriveled grain. The
spring-sown wheat is nearly as promis
ing as the fall-sown. In portions of the
Willamette valley the grain aphis is re
ported to be present in large quantities
on the spring wheat; some correspond
ents report that damage is being done,
while others have no fear of any damage
from this quarter. Oats are almost as
promising as wheat, and barley and rye
are almost invariably good crops, but
they are better this year than usual.
Hop lice are numerous in the majority
of yards. Spraying is actively engaged
in and a good, clean crop is hoped for.
Royal Anne cherries are about gone,
but other and later varieties continue
plentiful. Peach plums are ripening
and being shipped by carload lots ; the
trees are overburdened with the heavy
crop. .reaches and apricots, also, are
being shipped in carload lots. The
crop of peaches and apricots is very large
in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson
counties and in the Columbia and Snake
river valleys ; elsewhere they are a poor
crop.
The prune tress are loaded and hand
pruning is very active.
Apple and Bartlett pear trees are lit
erally filled with fruit; owing to ener
getic and systematic spraying, apples
and pears will be freer from Codlin
moth than has been the case for years.
Flax for fiber which was sown late is
being pulled, while the early sown is
now being worked. The growing of flax
for fiber in Oregon is no longer an ex
periment. It is now a successful fact.
Hemp is making fine growth, and it,
too, has long since passed the experi
mental age. '
Suger beets are in the most satisfacto
ry condition. The wiedom of establish
ing the sugar beet factory in the Grande
Ronde valley is demonstrated by the
fine growth of the beets in that section.
There is not an adverse report this
week from any section of the state, all
agreeing that crops could not possibly
be better, and that stock is in a prime
condition, and that only a successful
crop season now awaits the husband
man.
A.dam McNeilly, charged with incest,
will be given a preliminary examination
at Colfax on August 2d. Bonds for his
appearance were fixed at $1500. Alex
ander, Minnie and Isabel McNeilly will
be examined on a charge of murder the
same day. The defendants are 20, 16
and 15 years old, respectively. Their
arrest has canned considerable excite
ment. All are kept in close confinement
The three prisoners admit that they
buried their sister's dead child, and say
they found it dead in bed with its
mother a few hours after birth. This
was their evidence at the coroner's in
quest. The younger girl bad previously
told a neighbor that the baby had been
killed by her brother, Alexander. At
the inquest the young mother, Maggie
McNsilly, testified that she did not
know how her baby had come by its
death. She admitted that her brother.
Adam, was its father. Adam, who is
out on bonds, refuses to make any stale
ment.
