Mr. and Mrs.J. P. Mclnerny and fam
ily returned last evening from Clatsop
Beach. They inform us that that favor
ite resort is getting somewhat of a de
serted appearance, as a great many of
the visitors have already returned home
on account of the continued cool weath

G. A. R. arch was beguh. The arch has
served its purpose at tpe encampment
and on July 4th, and has stood Ions
enough. The winds an I weather have
changed it to anything 1 mt an ornament
and it is a wise move to ret it out of the
road.

About one dozen heavy teams are

Yesterday Bruce Anson who for

Yesterday eyening Mr. and Mrs. Nels
Patterson who live about six miles above
Dufur were going out shooting birds
when an accident happened from the
effects of which Mrs. Patterson may lose
one of her hands at the wrist. It ap
pears Mr. Patterson was carrying a shot
gun and stumbled on a rock and dis
charged a load of No. 6 shot which
struck Mrs. Patterson in the right hand
lacerating it terribly and tearing away
everything but the little and ring fingers
which may possibly be saved. Dr.
Geisendoiffer was sumuoned and left
immediately to dress the wound.
John Rayburn. a section boss at Roos
ter Rock, was arrested yesterday on a
warrant issued from justice Kraemer's
court, charging him with assault and
battery upon J. T. Smith. Smith's head
was brutally beaten, and according to
his version the assanlt was uncalled for.
Smith is an invalid veteran of the war
while his assailant is a healthy man,
weighing about 200 pounds. The com
plainant haa charge of anothers place at
Rooster Rock. Near by, on the railroad
property, Etands an apple tree, alleged
to belong to no individual in particular,
from which Smith and hia son yesterday

he told her to file her complaint with
the railroad company. In the evening
Rayburn came to Smith's house, called
him out, and they walked a few rods
along the track. In an unguarded mo
ment Rayburn began to pummel Smith
in an unmerciful manner. Smith's ap
pearance would indicate that he kad
been fondeled with a pick handle.
Tomorrow morning the open season
for shooting pheasants, grouse, quail
and waterfowl begins. The season for
upland birds will close December 1, but
the season for shooting waterfowl does

Constable Frank Hill left last night for
Wyeth with a warrant for the arrest of a
party named Charles Wand who is
charged with having obtained money
under false pretenses. It appears that
Wand was a partner with Jones
Brothers in a contracting and railroad
grading company and served as pay
master for the said company which is at
present operating on the O. R. & N
near Wyeth. In paying off one of the
hands a short time ago, Waud drew a
check for a much larger amount than
was coming and kept the difference
when the check was cashed. His
partners found out what he had done
and swore out a warrant for hia arrest."
Constable Hill found on his arrival at
Wyeth that his man had gone to Port
land and has followed him up in the
hopes of finding him there.
Today Michael Morran, James Sarsfield
and Mr, Mulliagan, prominent farmers
of Klickitat county, are in the city.
They report that the road leading from
Goldendale to The Dalles is in a
very bad condition in many places,
especially on ' this side of the
mountain. If The Dallea people desire
the large grain crops of Klickitat county
aa well as the trade of that prosperous
section, they should look into the matter
of the improvement of the road leading
to this city. No work has been done
in the way of improving it during the
entiie summer and it is in such a con
dition at present that a heavy team can
not be driven over it with any safety.
The rocks should be picked off and the
holds filled up in order to gain the
patronage of the Klickitat farmers.
The common council a short time
since received a note from a man at
The Dalles, says the Oregonian, who
wished to enter into negotiations for the
sale of a wild cat, which he imagined the
council would be anxious to secure at
anv price, as an attraction for the City
Park. He was shy about naming a
price, but appeared to think that the
park was short on wild cats, and must
have them, no difference Low high they
came. An answer was sent in which
full particulars in regard to the charac
teristics and peculiarities of the wild cat
were asked for, anxl if these proved satis
factory an offer was tendered to ex
change a coyote for the wild cat, the cat
to be delivered at the park, and the

coyote taken away without cost to the
city. No answer has been received and
none is now looked for. Probably the
man who has the wild cat believes that
the council is composed of rather close
traders, who do not intend that the city
shall be got ahead of in a cat trade.
Everything indicates at present that
The Dalles theater goers will have nu
merous entertainments given by home
talent this fall. Those which are spoken
of at present are a musicale by the Alpha
Mandolin and Guitar Club and a genuine
negro ministrei performance under the
auspices of The Dalles Commercial and
Athletic Club. The musieale promises
to be without exception the finest ever
given by Dalles talent. Over thirty of
our best musicians will take part
and the program will consist of selec
tions by the entire club, instrumental
solos, duets, quartets, eextets as well as
a mingling of vocal talent which would
reflect credit on any town. The date for
the musicale has not been set, but will
be sometime after the loth of September,
while the Ministrei performance will
take place toward the end of October.

CROPS AND WEATHER.
Weekly Report From the United States
Weather Korean Splendid Grain
Returns In Eastern Oregon.
The mean temperature for the week
averaged 70, which was 1 higher than
for the preceding week and 1 lower than
for the coresponding week of last year.
The highest temperature was 98, on
Wednesday ; the lowest -52 during
Saturday night. Sprinkles of rain and
very mild thunderstorms prevailed
Thursday night. The rainfall was not
sufficient to lay the dust. The amount
of cloudiness has increased.
Harvesting and threshing continues.
The grain crop is being rapidly disposed
of, though the work of gathering the
crop will continue for several weeks vet.
The correspondents, as a rule, report
most excellent returns from the grain.
The warm period during the fore part
of this month was injurious to the
spring grain, yet it is turning, out very
well. The grain crop, as a rule, is satis
factory to every person.
The corn crop is making good growth ;
it haa commenced to mature. The
weather has been favorable for corn
throughout the entire season.
Alfalfa and clover hay continue to te
cut and housed or stacked. The bar
crop is, and has been, good. Fruit is
making satisfactory progress. Prune-
drying has commenced in many seciiona
of the Columbia River Valley. Peaches
are plentiful and are ripening rapidly.
The apple crop is very large and is mak
ing good progress. The fruit trees are
unusually healthy this year. Melons
are very numerous and of large size.
It is seldom that an adverse report is
received from any correspondent in this
section of the state concerning any pro
duct. The water supply is very low, and in
some localities Is a serious question ; it
will not increase until the winter rains
begin, although rain usually falls in
small amounts during the latter part of
September.
Stock is reported to bo in good condi
tion, with fully an average amount of
feed. A very large supply of hay ia be
ing secured for winter use throughout
the stock country.
