A large force of laborers are engaged in excavating for the foundation of Pease & Maya' warehouse, and in a few days more it will be in shape to begin the wood work. The popular O. R. N. Sunday excur sions are certainly appreciated by Dallesitea, judging from the number of our citizens who take advantage of them for a day's outing. Last night one carload of fine beef cattle were ehipped to the Union Meat Co. at Troutdale, they were purchased by Monroe Grimea from different small er stockmen in the interior. The little town of John Day was vis ited by burglars again Monday night, the second time within a fortnight. The burglars attempted so enter three differ ent buildings but at each attempt were unsuccessful. Tomorrow night.Angust 27th, the Sal vation Army will have a musical festi val at their hall on Washington street. Captains Collins and Singerberger will lead the meeting. Everybody is kindly invited to be present. After the meet ing ice cream and cake will be served for ten cents. It was the intention of the D. P. & A. N. Co. to launch the steamer Regulator this afternoon, but up to 3:30 no news has reached the city concerning it and it is thought that something happened to prevent her from taking the plunge. Ways havn been placed under the boat and it is expected they will be able to to stay at home, take a look at Pease & Maj's' They contain a large assortment of Loose Muscatel Raisins, PEASE get her into the water without any great amount of trouble. The work of cleaning the debris out of the Mays & Crowe lot is almost fin- ' ished, and it is in a shape to begin lay- ing the foundation for the new building, j As soon as -the plans are completed the contract will be let and the building fin- ished as soon as possible. Mr. and Mrs. btory left last evening for Union, where they will reside in the future. For a number of years they have made The Dalles their home, and while here have made many warm t friends who are sorry to see them leave. Mr. J. W. Blake, of Condon, will occupy the house left vacant by their leaving. 5 Frank Menefee, Thomas Ward and Edward Baldwin returned yesterday from a trip of several weeks in the icountry north of Mt. Adams. They iieard nothing of the fire until Thursday, when they were on their return trip, and ie.lthough Mr. Ward was a heavy loser, tie says he is satisfied that his family Escaped without any accident. . Last Saturday Miss Rosemary Bald win, of this city, made the- phanomenal score of seventy on the Clatsop beach bowling alley. Considering the short time she has practices bowling Bhe has done remarkable work, and, as far as we can learn, she now holds the ladies rec ord for the coast, and at any rate she holds first place among the bowlers of The Dalles. The East End had the liveliest appear ance of any place in the city today. At least a dozen loads of grain as well as several of wool were waiting for their turn to unload. But few sales of wheat have been made as yet and no wool sales have been reported for several days. The wheat market is opening up at 50 cents, but the majority of the producers are determined to hold for higher prices. Reports of the yield of wheat all over the county are very satisfactory. We are informed that many Wasco county farmers find it necessary to send for more grain sacks when they come to thresh, as the supply they have on hand is inadequate to bold the unusually large crop, since they made too low an esti mate of the amount of wheat they would have in their Btacks. Money will be no object with the grainraisers this fall. A harrowing exemplification of the indifference of certain human beings to the sufferings of dumb brutes was fur nished at Pendleton the other day. Ten BtocK cars loaded with horses were bolted there, and it was observed that from two to five horses in each car were being trampled beneath the feet of the others. The man in charge of the horses, one McCarty, made no effort to relieve the animals, and the train pulled oat. Shortly after sunrise this morning it became evident that the people of The Dalles were destined to spend another unusually hot day. By 9 o'clock it was exceptionally sultry and scarcely a per cep table breeze was stirring to make it more comfortable. As the day wore on it became much warmer and the only Description 3 & MAYS. conclusion we can form is that we have to suffer another spell of extreme heat and feel envious of those who are so for tunate as to be at the sea coast or in the mountains at present. ' One of the biggest buck sales ever made on the Pacific coast took place at Hay Creek last week, when a sheepman from Montana purchased practically all the bucks that the Baldwin Sheep and Land Company had left for sale this year about 700 bead. The bucks will be shipped to Montana from The Dalles. The price is private, but it could not be, if any, under $7,000 a tidy sum to come from another state to one man for bucks. This company has sold altogether about 2500 bucks this year. The Oregon boys, are still at Camp Merritt and it is not! definately known whether they will go; forward to Manila or be mustered out at this point. Fri day 120 of them received orders and were prepared to go "on board the Arizo na with the Eighteenth, but when the rejoicing was at its height the order was countermanded. ' There were some rumors afloat to the effect that all the recruits would sail next week on the Scandia, but little credence is being placed in the repojt until the boys are on board. Mr. Olney, of Portland, maker of in surance rates for the northwest, is in the city for the purpose of looking up rates of insurance in The Dalles. Hia mission is principally to see if the pres ent rates can be maintained, or if there is any possibility with the present facil ities for fighting fire of reducing the in surance rates on property in the city. A meeting of the water commissioners will be held this afternoon, when the subject of the present facilities for put ting out fire will be thoroughly discussed and a better idea gained of the danger to property from fire. The hop growers of Yakima county are again calling upon the people of the surrounding country who . desire a month's easy and profitable work in the hop fields, to come to their aid to har vest one of the largest crops that has been grown in the county for many a year. Many who will Tead this item have availed themselves of this opportu nity in past years, ana know the con ditions and opportunities presented to families and individuals in the way of a month's outing coupled with the ability to earn a sufficient sum of money to materially aid in providing the neces sities for winter. D. R. Cooper returned last week from a trip to Lost Lake, where he was in camp ten days, Bays the Hood River Glacier. He says dog fish are plentiful in the lake, and are eating the spawn of the trout, and it is only a question of a short time when the trout will be exter minated. These dog fish are very easily killed, and he thinks something ought to be done to rid the lake of their pres ence. The party he was with killed thousands of them. They come to the edge of the water to feed and can easily be killed with clubs.

LETTER FROM AN OLD RESIDENT James A. I'nrlsli Sends a Communication to Bis Friends In Tne Italics. A letter was received today from James A. Parish who ia well known by manv of our peonle and who is at present residing at Norwauk, California. He says : Dear friends of The Dalles: As we promised to write to the paper, I will do bo this beautiful morning. We are now at our neat little home in California. This is a beautiful country and very productive. This has been a dry season, yet, we have not had a famine. We have heard a great deal about the failure of crops in California but we have traveled from the state line through to Los Angeles and have noticed large piles of straw and immense piles of grain sacked up and ready for market as well as produc tive fields. Large herds of cattle were grazing the stubble fields and I have been told that the cattle would eat all the stubble down by tho time they put the grain in again. We have also passed large orchards well filled with fruit such as grow in California, and right here are oranges, lemons, figs, large . peaches, pears and apples. This is called a dairy country and most of the people keep cows and sell milk. If a man has 10 acres of land and an " artisian well he can keep 10 cows and some horses and is all right financially. We have not been over to the coast yet, but will go Boon. We have good neighbors, most all holiness people, you know that just suits us. The nights are cool with heavy dews, foggy mornings but the glorious sea breezes come up aud the air is delightfully balmy. We can hear the cars most anytime in the day as well ob the church bells evey isunday, and we can work for the Lord here. This is al most like a town as we can Bee 12 houses from our residence and the level roads are so lovely, we take but a few moments in going to town. OBITUARY.

When abont 16 years of age she was converted and united with the Metho dist church, of which Bhe was a consist ent member until death. Although, owing to ill health, ehe was not per mitted to attend church often after com ing here, she maintained her christian experience and her last days were days of christian triumph. The deathbed scene was one of marvelous victory, the spirit triumphing over the bodily suffer ing and her constant testimony was of a present Christ. She leaves a husband and three small children to mourn the loss of a faithful wife and kind mother. The funeral services were conducted at Spring Creek by Rev. N. Evans, after which the body was interred in Spring Creek cemetery. Sentinel. A CASE OF INSANITY. An Insane Person Arrested Yesterday at Mr. Sechler's Farm. Yesterday an individual came to the farm of Mr. Sechler near this city and asked for something to eat. Mrs. Secbler got him a lunch and he informed her that there were a number of people trying to kill him and that he was being pursued. Mrs. Sechler noticed that he was mentally unbalanced and im mediately told herbuBband and William Spencer about the matter. They at once investigated and con cluded that her supposition was correct. He waB continually watching some imaginary persons and was terribly frightened. Mr. Spencer did his utmost to quiet him and succeeded in. getting him to accompany him to the city where he was lodged in jail. There is a pos sibility that his trouble has been caused by the excessive use of liquor and that the illusion under which he labors may pass away in a short time. He will be examined by physicians and if they adjudge him insane he will be committed to the asylum in Salem. He informed Mr. Spencer that his name was Hesse but as it was bard to get any information out of him, nothing was learned as to where he is from or where he intends going.
