Reports from the farmers in all sec
tions of 'the Inland Empire state this
year's crop is above expectations. The
grain is plump and well filled and is
yielding unusually well in almost every
part of Wasco and Sherman counties.
In this regard the yield in the Inland
Empire differs from that in the Willam
ette. In Marion county the wheat is
tall and fine looking grain, but it does
not turn out when threshed like the
grain in Eastern Oregon.
Yesterday Eugene W. Vest, the rep
resentative of the Majestic Range Man
ufacturing Co,, of St. Louis, was in the
city. Mr. Vest left for points East last
eveniug, and informs us that his inten
tion is to visit The Dalles in the near
future, and bring the little pickanninies
who were here last summer and fur
nished our townspeople with a fund of
amusement. They are as funny as ever
and will play several days and probably
a week's engagement in this city.
Farmers from different parts of Sher
man, Klickitat and Wasco counties
state that harvesting is in full blast in
all three counties. In Sherman much
grain is being prepared for market by
means of the combined harvesters,
while in Wasco and Klickitat counties
the herders and threshers are used prin
cipally to harvest the crop. The reason
that combines are not nsed more exten
sively in Wasco county is that the fields
are comparatively small and the ground
too rough for such large machines. Iu
the level fields of Sherman county,
however, the combines work perfectly.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
launching of some craft or other has
been almost a weekly occurrence in
Portland for the last few months, there
was a large crowd to witness the initial
plunge of Hale & Kern's new tugboat
Samson from the ways at the Wolff &
Zwicteriron works Thursday. Madison-
street bridge and neighboring places of
vantage were occupied by a surging
mass of humanity from early in the
afternoon until the new acquisition to
the Portland fleet was tied up at Duni
way's wharf, on the East Side. The
launch was a complete success in every
respect.
The prognostications ot Local Forecast
Official Pague point to thunder showers
probably today and cooler, with west to
north winds. An area of low pressure
has developed and was central yesterday
morning over Southern Oregon and
Northern California. An area of high
pressure is developing off the south
western coast of California, which will
move northward and give cool weather
Sunday and Monday. From the low
pressure, thunder showers are probable
on Saturday over the greater portion of
the Pacific Northwest; cooler weather
today is expected as a result of the
thunder showers.
The steamer Dalles City arrived here
last night and is now ready to con
tend with the Regulator for the
title of the "Pride of The Dallee."
The steamer in every regard is
new and as a hull has been, built
under it, the contractors had the
advantage of knowing the faults of the
old craft which they corrected in the
new boat. Although the boilers are not
fully tempered, which prevents it
being put under a full head of steam, at
the same time the Dalles City made a
Bplendid run' from Portland, which will
De greatly excelled when tne boat is on
the route for a short time.
...per HQ
Oregon to lie Protected Against Pall of
Smoke, and Sheep Kept From
the ReictTe.
lne department of the interior at
Washington last summer published a
notice calling the attention of the pub
lic to the fa i that immense areas of
public fores are annually destroyed by
fire, origin- ' ug, ia many instances,
through th : . .relessness of prospectors,
campers, ! uiiters, sheep-herders and
others; wliiein many instances the fires
are started with malicious intent.
Warning was given that the origin of
all forest fires would be carefully inves
tigated, and, where the fire is ascertain
ed have originated through carelessness
or design, the persons implicated will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
The public generally was requested to
aid the officers of , the government in
taeir effort to cbeck'tho evils referred to
and in the punishment of all such of
fenders. The act of congress, approved Febru
ary 24, 1897, provides that any person
who willfully or maliciously sets fire to
timber or underbrueh on the public do
main, or carelessly leaves fire to burn
unattended near any timber or inflama-
ble material, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and, upon , conviction
thereof, shall be fined not more than
$5,000 or be imprisoned not more than
two years, or both. Any person who
builds a campfire, or other fire, in or
near any forest, timber, or other inflam
able material on the public domain, and
lails before breeking camp or leaving
said fire to totally extinguish the same,
shall be fined not more than $1000 or lie
imprisoned not more than one year, or
both.
The fines collected shall te paid into
the public school fund of the county in
which the lands where the offense was
committed are situated.
Capt. S. B. Ormsbv. of Salem, was
appointed forest supervisor for this state,
and Mr. Dufur, superintendent for the
nortern district. They, with their gang
of forest rangers, have been instructed
by Binger Hermann, commissioner of
the general land office, to make every
effort to check the fires or puuish the
ofienders.
The commissioner, mindful of the fact
that the water supply of Portland would
be greatly damaged ifheep were herd
ed on the watershed of Bull Run lake
and river, has instructed them to keep
sheep out of all portions of the Bull
Run reserve and that portion of the Cas
cade reserve north of the Barlow road
and west ot the east fork of Hood River.
Between the Barlow road and the east
fork, the boundary line extends from
the point where the road crossesSnmmit
creek northeasterly about six miles to
the east of the east fork of Hood river.
Capt. Ormsby has recently had this line
marked by blazes on the trees, two or
three rods apart. He will be very care
ful to prevent any roaming sheep-herder
with his flock from trespassing within
the limits described.
Yesterday morning Lloyd Laughiin,
son of B. F. Laughiin, was playing with
the dog at their camp at Glenwood
when in some way he got tripped and
falling on a sharp rock, cut a deep gash
oyer the left eye. . Fearing the result if
the wound was not attended to at once,
Mr. Hinkle hitched up the horses and,
accompanied by bis wife and Mrs.
Liughlin, brought the little boy to
White Salmon, being compelled to make
double-quick time in order to catch the
boat. On reaching this city, Dr. Suth
erland was called and dressed the
wound, which proved to be not a dan
gerous one, but in need of immediate
attention. They will return to camp
today.
Frank J. Beaty, of Wamic, who e
ccntly returned from a trip from the
valley via of the Barlow road, informs
us that a forest fire had been etarted
seven miles east of Government camp
and threatened to destroy millions of
feet of splendid timber of all kinds.
He had no means of etopping the con
flagration and advises that means be
taken by the forestry agents to do some
thing immediately. The fire was, ac
cording to his reckoning, about one mile
east of the summit and 113 miles from
Portland. If the fire is not stopped it is
impossible to estimate the damage that
will be done and the matter should be
looked into immediately.
