from a trip of several weeks in the

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

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

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

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.

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.
