reports business lax in that city and at
tributes it to the fact that so many Port

in Eastern Oregon.
August Grievette.an aged Frenchman,
was Monday found dead in his bed in
his lone cabin four miles north of Col
ville by William Hull, a neighbor.
Grievett was over SO years of age, and a

half century in the mining camps of the
West. He went to Colville seven years
ago and lived a hermit's life. Death re
sulted from Strychnine taken with sui
cidal intent, it is though.
The dentists who are in convention in
Portland at present, had an excursion
to Cascade Locks today on the steamer
Sarah Dixon, of the D. P. & A. N. line.
Many from all over the Nortwest have
taken advantage of this splendid oppor
tunity to view the scenery that cannot
be equalled anywhere in the West, that
of the Columbia between Portland and
the Locks, and will also enjoy the
splendid accommodations offered by the
D. P. & A. N. line to their patrons.
It is a question in the minds of
many ot Dalles people why the G. A.
R. arch is left standing as long as it has.
It has served its purpose at the G. A. R.
encampment and also on July 4th and
should have been removed after the lat
ter celebration. It is a bar to traffic on
the principal street, and as it was only
it temporary structure the wind and
weather have made it anything but or
namental, and the sooner it is removed
the better.
An addition to the list of names of the
soldiers killed and wounded at Manila,

General Merritt and published in The

gar J. Johnson, Co. D, of La Grande;
Rufus K. Holbrook, company C, of Eu

A, of McMinnville.
The wool market at . present is ex
ceptionally dull, the buyers being not
overly anxious to make any purchases
while the producers are satisfied to wait
in hopes that the price will raise. The
present quotations are satisfactory, but
it is thought the producers may tire of
holding for better offers and sell, which
may have a tendency to lower the price.
The indications are, however, that the
price will raise, rather than drop, if the
producers are not in a hurry to dispose
of their clip.
The frnit growers in different parts
of the Btate are making every effort to
establish fruit canneries, so that much

oi me product mat is at present going

thns thousands of dollars would go into
the pockets of the farmers for the frnit

though much frnit is shipped to Eastern
markets as well as disposed of at home,
still these demands are inadequate to
use the fruit of Eastern Oregon, and
nothing but a large canning establish
ment will fill the bill. This will not
only be a benefit to the producers of
fruit, but also to some enterprising man
or men who will build such a plant.
Gus Smythe stayed in Fossil over
Monday night on his way home from a
sheep-buying trip to the iuterior, says
the Journal. He bought over 6000 head
and started 5000 of them from Mitchell
to Heppner for shipment east. He
would have bought many more, but re
ports that Grant and Crook counties are
overrun with buyers, who are offering as
high prices are are being paid in some
eastern states. Johnson & Sons have
contracted their Iambs at $2.50 per head.
This is, we believe, as high a price as
has ever been paid in Eastern Oregon.
Mr. Smythe says $2.00 is being treely of
fered for lambs, but that owners are
lolding for more and hold other classes
high in proportion. A Montana buyer
offered him $2.75 per head for 200 year-
Walter Dye, of Marion county, has just
arrived in San Francisco from Manila,
where he was invalided out of Company
K, Second regiment, Oregon Volunteers.
Talking to a San Francisco press repre
sentative a, day or two ago said, in re
lation to his trio out : "Instead ot be
ing treated like men and soldiers we
were treated like serfs and slaves. Con
victs in prison fared better than we did.
I did not expect luxury, but what we
did get was horrible in the extreme.
We had plenty of provisions on board,'
but only got two meals a day hardtack,
coffee and a beastly-mess for change un
der the name of hash ; we called it 'slum
gulleon.' The coffee was like bilge
water, and sometimes had cigar butta in
it. I would not go through that trip
again for all the money or glory in the
world."
Neither of the parties to the circuit
judgeship contest of P. H. D'Arcy vs. R.
P. Boise, set for hearing at Tillamook,
appeared there yesterday, they agree
ing to try the caee on stipulation. By
the terms of the stipulations the county
clerk received the tally-sheets and stabs
from the several precinct election judges
for the June election and certified that
they were securely kept. Plaintiff of
fered the ballots in evidence and de
fendant objected, upon the ground that
it had not been shown whether they had
Deen securely sept oeiore they came
into the custody of the clerk, and be
cause the ballots were incompetent
evidence. The court sustained the ob
jection and plaintiff excepted to the
court's ruling, and the exception was
allowed. This closed the case, so far as
the taking of testimony was concerned,
and the matter was taken under advise
ment. This winds np the trial part of
the contest in the circuit court.

CAMP HAVANA JOTTINGS.
A Correspondence Frim That Popular
Camp Cascade Notes.
The following letter, under date of the
22d, from Moffett Springe, was missent
and did not reach us until today. Al-
thought part of the original letter has
been left out on account of the changes
made since it was written, we will pub
lish it in part of it at least. I reads as
follows:
Situated near the banks of the majes
tic Columbia is one of the most ideal
camps, known as Damp Havana, tnat
we have had the pleasure of visiting,
while the writer has also been sojourning
at that well-known summer resort, Cas
cade Springs.
With Mrs. I. P. Jolee as hostess, ev
erything was made as pleasant as pos
sible tor the guests, which shows that
this was not her first attempt at camp
life nor her first trial at making visitors
fell at home.
It was with anything but a feeling of
delight that we saw such good company
as Camp Havana consisted of, driven
home by the heavy showers and
cool weather that kept up for seve
ral days and caused our friends to take
their departure homeward, after having
spent a few weeks of pleasure in the
picturesque Cascades.
As the time rapidly drew near for
Camp Company L to also take their de
parture homeward, many regrets were
expressed and all hoped to meet again
next year at Cascade Springs, where
pleasant weather, cool water, delightful
bathing, and unsurpaseed retreats to
no end can be found. A.
Our baby has been continually troub

has not been troubled. We want to

Frizzell heard the horse fall, and jump
ing from his horse found young Helms
lying on the ground unconscious. lie
