11 'PUo o the reports concerning the
damagu to the cropn, from tho rolling
lamia in Dry Hollow comes the report
that on Win. Taylor's place tho spring
wheat will yield twenty-three bushels lo
the item aud the oats forty bushels to
the acre. We call this a pretty good
failure.
James ttusclic, the half-breed Indian
who for a time was one of the faithful
soldiers in tho Salvation Army, has
deserted, and now linds that "the way
of tho transgressor is hard;" at least
his is a rocky way at present, ho being
employed on a it, el; pile worldug out a
$10 tine imposed upon him by the re
corder tills morning. Ho .seemed to
have an nihility for rucks lust night
about !) o'clock, when ho was found by
Phiriuan in a drunk and disorderly con
dition throwing rocks up on to Nolan's
porch. So after being arrested and fail
ing lo produce line, it was thought best
to let him work oil' his surplus eneigy
on tho streets for tho next four days.
Two more soldier boys cr.me up last
night David Homier and Frank I'rice.
The former claims he had pressing buel
ness which compelled him to come
ahead of the rest; and we had a gontlo
hint that in the "pressing" business
mother was the other party most con
cerned, aud when a knock was heard at
her door during the night, Mrs. Arm
strong was not a little surprised to lltul
one of her throe soldier boys asking
admittance, fiullice to say ho got in.
'I ho truth Is, when he readied Portland
and found IiiB mother not there he
enjoy the reception there with them.
During their absence the love of mother
has been characteristic of these threo
soldier boyp, who never failed to write
and always sent hjiiio little token to
her. Honuer returned to Portland todaj ,
licjompaulcd by hta mother, and will
come ui) with the hoys tomorrow.
Price's home is at Tygh V.alloy, nnd w"

Just as everyone was going homo to
dinner today an alarm of fire sounded
and from the cloud of smoke which
could be plainly seen it was evident the
lire was on tho bluff in the vicin
ity of the high school building. It was
soon determined that It was Win.
Nichols' house, a few feet from the top
of the Union street grade. Mr. Nichols
Is building u now residence on tho lot
and was living in ft email house adjoin
ing. Mrs. Nichols had built a large fire
with which to cook dinner and was out
sido washing. When she entered the
kitchen the room was all abla.e, and it
is diOlcult to tell just how it ignited.
It wns but a short time until the struc
ture was nblHxe aud although the Mt.
Hood hose company got there as soon as
possible, having a fcteep hill to ciimb,
they were not iu time to render much
ascistanco except to the new building,
Inch, with the aesietnnee of Jackson
engine company, they succeeded in sav
ing, although there was some damage to
it. The fire plug near Prof. Gavin's
residence wiib nted, but the firemen
worked under difficulties as the force of
water was poor. So intense was the
heat aud so small the house that it was
impossible to save any tiling and Mr.
and Mrs. Nichols lost everything in the
way of furniture and xdothim:.
Kiihti-rii Siilmoii Market.
Thomas McGovern, of the well-known
New York house of Delafield, McGovern
& Co., is visiting in Astoria in the in
terest of the salmon trade. Mr. Mc
Govern left New Yoik a week ago
Monday, and after devoting a day each
to Seattle and Portland, came direct to
this city. He will remain hsro until
Saturday.
Mr. McGovern, in speaking of bis
Urui's dealings in Pacific const products
generally, s.iys: "While wo handle
raisins and dried and canned fruits ex
tensively, our leading Pacific coast com
modity is salmon. I would estimate
that our sales In this especial branch
will average close to threo hundred
thousand cases annually. Besides our
puichases here and at Seattle, we also
handle the Britieh Columbia ealmou in
Canada."
Mr. Me.Govein soya that tho New
hastened homo Jo get her and have her York market in thu line of salmon was
almost depleted at the time he left.
Tho prico of Columbia river salmon
showed an advance of 25 per cent, and
Cockeye salmon, -10 per cent, over the
figures governing last year. "Tho As
sociation," said Mr. McGovern, "is a
friendly institution for the fishermen.
It has put into their pockets over a
million dollars, which they never would
havo realized had It not existed." As

Portland cheers were not deafening.
Let's whoop 'em up here.
Tho reception committee which goes
down to tho locks tomorrow will carry
with them a quantity of fruit for tho
soldiers.
"When you hear them bells begin to
rinir," and those whistles to toot, get on
your best attire and boon band, the boys
are about to land.
Four hundred was the number of
volunteers who reached Portland last
evening, the first section getting in a
few minutes after 4 o'clock.
Messrs. Moore and Stephens have
done their work of soliciting well. It is
a hard task at best; but they are all
right and their eflorts are appreciated.
We would just here suggest that the
old inscription placed over the armory
door when tho boys marched away, be
changed from "Itememher the Maine"
to "We Have Remembered tho Maine."
Ernest Jeneen went down this morn
ing to decorate the Regulator, and it
will be a "beaut" when he finishes.
Josh Hardy also was a passenger to put
somejfinishing touches on some banners
he had been painting.
Decorating has been going on during
the day. Let it continue ydntil every
business house at least ehoie its patri
otism. A. M. Williama' & Co. have
stretched a line of thevarious flags of
the nations across the street hi front of
their store.
Dr. Saunders telephoned this morn
ing and informed the committee that
about twenty-five of Company L Port
land boys and others will come up with
our twenty-five soldiers tomorrow to
join in the final festivities. Let's make
them doubly welcome.
Max Vogt donated the opera house for
the reception as long as it was needed,
and Lieut. Spivey, witli a force of militia
boys have been working day and night
to decorate it. They are making splen
did progress and it will be handsomely
decorated, and in a new design. The
lieuKnant is an untiring worker for the
company and a great favorite with the
boys.
All the exercises of the reception
including the dance will be free to all,
excepting the banquet, inch will be
given in the vacant store, nest door to
A. M. Williams', following the parade.
To this will be admitted tho volunteers
and their parents Co. D, G. A. R.,
W. R. C, and the committees. Those
who are entitle1 to tickets for the
banquet should-call at the Jiall between
the hours of 1 and 4 tomorrow and re
ceive the same. None will be admitted
without.
The lino of parade as planned
is too long; the boys have had
too much parading already. We should
consider their wishes in everything per
taining to their reception, curtailing
everything as mnch us possible which
requires any exertion from them. The
parade as it now stands is as follows:
Form on First, right on Court and
Second. March west on Second to
Union ; south on Union to Third; west
onThird to Liberty; south on Liberty to
Fourth ; east on Fourth to Washington ;
north on Washington to Second ; eaEt on
Second to Taylor; counter march; turn
to right; west on Second to Federal;
south on Federal to Third; west on

It is evident from the following article
published in the East Urcgoniau, that
the rain storm is not welcome in Uma
tilla county. It seems they are having
a much heavier shower than are we of
this Bectlon. That paper says :
"Rain is general all ovor this wheat
growing region. It began late laet night
and has continued today. Considerable
concern is felt for tho grain. Rain at
this time was tho laet thing aeked for.
There can come absolutely no benefits,
and if continued for any Jength of time,
Immense losses will result. Farmers
today state that, if the rain cease within
a few hours, aud good weather prevail
thereafter, the damage will be nothing
of consequence. Hut, if it continue,
there must inevitably bo heavy injury
iu every quarter.
"Harvest was in progress on almost
every farm in the county. Never before
were there more harvesting outfits at
work ut one time than were engaged in
cutting and threehiug yesterday, To
day, of course, not a wheel is turning in
the county. Harvesting outfits are com
ing into town, waiting for tho rain to
ceaee, and tho grain to dry sufficiently
to permit threshing to proceed.
"Rain in August in Umatilla county
is almost without precedent. Scarcely
anyone remembers when such a thing
has happened In previous yeare, and al
though many farmers have prepared
themsolvc9 for almost any emeigency,
there are hundreds of others who are
wholly unprepared for a rainy spell.
"The rain belt extends from Meacham
iu the Blue mountains, to the Columbia
river, and the precipitation is heavy.
All day, the indications have been for
considerable rainfall, and it causes
dubious looks on the face of all who are
interested in the crop and its preserva
tion. This moans about every man,
woman and child in the county, so that
dubious looks wero rather fashionable
hero today."
