Tho "good book" tells ua that ho that
ritleth liis own soul ia greater than he
that takoth a city. It ia very evident,
tho twenty-fourth infantry, which gained
such distinction at the (unions charge at
Sun Juan, and which ia now stationed at
Vancouver, have not proven themselves
huroea in that regard. Their miscon
duet has earned tho citizens of Vancou
ver to complain, and nu order has been
issued confining tho company to bar
racks. And now tho fishermen on tho lower
river have discovered that since tho Rea
son closed the Columbia ia literally tilled
with royal chinook salmon; and they
nro regretting that their scheme to have
tho season extended failed to connect.
If there was going to be nu extension it
should be extended to the upper river
fishermen, when those at the mouth of
tho river hnve censed to gobble up every
thing in tho river, giving ua at leaat a
ghoat of a chanco to try onr luck.

it somewhat dlflloult to mnko his selec

Wnlla Walla enjoyed n fine rainstorm
Sundny night line ior one who llkos
storms for themselves alone. Hut it
was entirely unnecessary from an agri
cultural point of view. Since yesterday
about .35 Inches of water has fallen
making over .70 for the past week. This
ia a record breaker, of the variety tiiat
farmers do not rejoice in. Wo were
mistaken before in prophesying no more
ruin. I5ut thia time certainly it is more
Riire that all the water that ia going to
fall thia week 'hub fallen. Today hae
been a good one for drying out the stand
ing grain without blenching, and it ie
hoped no damage hnfi been done. Walln

Any person not "on" 'would imagine
that our U. S. land office had turned
into an agricultural pavilion for prize
pumpkins and tho like. Yeeterdny a
box full of cereals and vegetables ar
rived nt the land offico from Prineville,
aaixhibita in a protest case against a
desert land proof. Tho garden truck ia
supposed to have grown on a roncli ad
joining the alleged desert claim, without
irrigation, and are enid to b-i clinch
ers in favor of the proteatant. Though
all the exhibits that go to Washington
must bo attached to tho testimony in
the case, it ia not likely that this half
ton or less of truck will go any farther.
Thia ia something now and novel in the
line of contest evidence.
This morning T. A. Blondin, a wore
out n complaint for the arrest of James
F. DeFord, who waa alleged to hnve com
mitted tlio "barbarous" crimo of carry
ing on a barber ehop without a license,
or rather certificate. Tho law parsed by
tho last legislature in February requires
that before going into business a barber
must be examined by the board of ex
aminers and if ho is found competent,
a certificated registration ia given him.
DoFord plead guilty, claiming he came
into tho state but a short time ago, and
was ipnornnt of tho law. When ho waa
odviaed of it ho wrote down applying
for examination, and ob the board would
not sit until the Slat of thia month ho
was granted a permit. He was, however,
required to answer for tlio previous in
fringement on the lawnnd wns fined $10,
which is tho minimum, the otl'eiulere in
Btich cases being liable to n fine of from
$10 to if 100.
Three carloads of recruits for the
thirty-fifth regiment pnsaed through
this city from tho East yesterday on
their way to the barracks at Vancouver.
Up to date thirty-nine ofllcors have
beon assigned to the regiment and 520
men have enlistoJ. Twenty-one re
cruiting stations have been established
for the regiment at different points in
this state, Washington, Idaho and Cali
fornia, from which tho majority of men
are being enlisted. In addition to thoso
sent fiom stations in the four states
named, recruits hnve been sent from
New York, Chicago, Richmond, Va.,

Tho late paesenger train, No. 1, which
reached here about 8 o'clock last evening
had on board "two eouls with but a
single thought" and that thought to
get married when they reached Tho
Dalles. The license timet -be got, some
shopping done, and a minister procured
who would tie the knot; but what cared
No. 1. Love may laugh at locksmiths,
but it dare not trust ita future happiness
to a railroad train. But they finally
reached the cltVi and with the aid of
Bert Hollieter, at O. F. Stephens' store,
succeeded in arousing Deputy Clerk
Bolton and alao Rev. D. V. Poling. At
10:30 o'clock at the rtaidence of Itev.
Poling, O. A. Anthony, of Santa Barbara,
Calif., and Miss Josephine Berrian, of
New York (who for some time has been
visiting her brother at Umatilla) were
made one, "in spite of No. 1. This morn
ing they boarded the boat, bound for
their new home in Santa Barbara.
Ono thing we have noticed about The
Dalles boys who have just returned from
Manila, and that is that they are not
kickers. While moEt of them say they
are not in love witli the Philippines and
have no deeire to enlist again, giving us
to understand (as we all must have re
alized would be the case) that one can
not be carried to war on flowery beds
of ease, yet virtually no complaints are
heard from them. A dispatch from As
toria in yesterday's Oregonian tells of
the terrible experiences which one vol
unteer underwent (or thought ho did).
ThiB may all be true, and no doubt the
trip over on the transports waB anything
by pleaeant, but be they true or false,
our boys are not the complaining kind
and we have heard nothing from them
in the way of a "kick." No one of them
seemed to expect all would be smooth
sailing after the comforts of home had
been left for the discotnfbrte of the bat
he field.
NO SUCH MID-AUGUST WEATHER.
Wntcrnpout Visible at Month or Jtiver.
About 10:20 yeEterday morning, dur
ing a heavy shower of rain, the unusual
phenomenon of a water spout was plainly
visible at llwaco and Ft. Canby, eajs
yesterday morning's Astorian. It or
iginated just ofl'the dock at. the fort, and
was about 20 feet in diameter and reacl.e 1
from the water to the clouds. After at
taining full proportions, it moved off in
the direction of Fort Stevens, on the
Oregon shore, traversing the full length
of Sand Island, throwing immense logs
of driftwood and tons of sand high into
the air. After leaving the island the
monster veered abruptly to the east
ward, and crossing Baker's" bay with a
steady and rapid motion, it finally dis
appeared in the air within a stone's
throw of the villnge of Chinook bench.
The sight was witnessed by hundreds
of people ot the fort, at llwaco and on
the beach, and the marks of its journey
across Sand Island are plainly visible in
a deep gully cut through the sand. In
its track ncrosa the bay many fishing
boats were narrowly miesed, to the ter
ror and consternation of their occupants,
and many who were on the steamers and
other crafts in the entire vicinity. Old
Bailora pronounce it to have been a ver
itable water spout, but.iia ttio first ever
seen by any rivertnan or landsman liv
ing at the mouth of the Columbia liver.

"Never had eucli weather at this time
of year before," said Mr. Pague when
asked if thia was really unusual weather.
According to reports received by the
weather bureau, the rain has been gen
eral all ovor Oregon.
'It is a bad deal for the farmers,"
continued Mr. Pague, after telling how
general the rain has been, "and if it
continues throughout tho week it will
do untold damage to wheat. Most all
of tho fall grain has been cut and very
little threshing has been done. The
wheat stands in shocks in the field, most
of It without a c.ip sheaf, and the water
I runs right in.
"Some damage has already been done,
and many a farmer will find it necessary
to open up his shocks should the sun
como out by Thursday. If it ia latter
than that in getting out much wheat
will be ruined.
"I think, however, that thia spell will
pass by tomorrow nieht, and I look for
sunshine by Thursday. No one can tell
positively that it will come by then, but
this weather ie a phenomenon, and phe
nomenal weather goes as it comes, sud
denly, and without warning."
The spring grain, from reports re
ceived by Mr. Pague, is yet uncut, and
the first day's rain didit no damage, but
helped to mature it. The continued
rain has, however, had a tendency to in
jure it by causinc some of it to fall down
thus making it harder to harvest, ind
insuring a greater waste in the field than
would have been had the weather re
mained dry.
From all quarters fall grain ia reported
as good, and the threshing done indi
cates a good yield. The spring grain
looks well everywhere, and promises at
least an average yield, but the rain may
change all this, and bring great loss to
thousands of farmers in the state. Tele

The doctors inform us that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powdere
should bo avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent by-
gieniste, who have given the matter
most study, regard these powders as an
evil that should be suppressed by state
action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum powders are not permitted to be
aold tinleae they are branded to warn
consumers of their true character, while
in the District ot Columbia tho authori
ties have, under tho direction of congress,
adopted regulations to prohibit tho use
of alum in bread altogether.
Aro not the people of other etntes, as
well as thoso of Minnesota and Wiscon
sin, entitled to warning of a danger
which ia apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection, as tho
people of the District of Columbia are
protected, by legislation which is en
tirely prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in tho
form of n statute, how cm our etato
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the nowspapeis
from time to time the names ot the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders to
remember that all powders sold at
twenty-five cents or less per pound are
ot this daugerous class. Pure cream of
tartar powders are usually sold at from
forty-five to fifty cents a pound.
All those having bills against the
volunteer reception committee are re
quested to present them to the financial
committee before Thursday, the 17th,
