"Jack," the wharf boat dog, does not

hist night when a meaely cur mado his

Jack forgot hia duty, which consists in
grubbing hold of tho rope nod pulling
tho boat in, and proceeded to remove the
bark from his rival. Quito an excite

Aetorir.ua liavo been hoping against
the greatest odds that on the first day of
the'regatta tho euu would dare to peep
through the ever-present clouds nnd
favor that drenched community with his
smiling face. Hut although tho clay
opened auspiciously, their hopes were
dashed to the ground before the first
event was announced, for the clouds
were again lowering and tho day was a
dismal one. The coronation of the queen
was postponed until evening. A largo
crowd was in attendance but tho dismal
weather has cast a damper on the entire
proceedings.
All the farmers, and in fact every one
for what interest them is of vltul Im
portance to all are on tho anxious seat
concerning the outcome of the crops .and
the effect the rains will have ou the
grain. It is therefore encouraging to
have audi a call as that made at Tiik

McLeod of the KingBley neighborhood.
He brought with him samples of the
wheat which Itemi Rondeau, whose
farm is on Tygh Ridge, finished thresh
ing yesterday. No one would ever dream
of n failure when examining it, and Mi.
Rondeau's crop averages forty-two bush
els to the acre, and tho bafley fifty
seven. Ho has ceased raising spring
grain and by summer fallowing half of
hia land finds that lie line u better crop
than by his former method. A few
oilier wheat growers there have finished
threshing with splendid results; but
nearly all the spring grain is etill stand
ing. Mr. McLeod says the rain has done
little if any damage on the other eide of
Dnfur, and if it censes now reaily no
damage will bo done. Last Sunday it
rained but about twenty minutes on the
Hidge. If any havo eimilar experiences,
let another brother speak.
HOT SPRINGS AT WIND RIVER.
Tux en or I'l'iiporly JIhIbciI Should lie
JWuilu it II -n 1 1 1 1 ltt'sort.
Judge Bennett returned last night
from Stevenson where he has been en
gaged trying a case which relates to the
hot springs at Wind river. It seems
tlmt on attempt was made by the county
commissioners to raiso the taxes on the
property, which is owned by St. Martin,
from $00i) to $10,000, Tina move it is
thought, has been made in the attempt
to compel the owners to dispose of it in
boiuo manner so that other parties may
secure it and thus make of it what the
healing properties of tho water would
warrant a health resort. Judge Ben
nett appeared for the defense, and suc
ceeded in preventing it being raised to
more than $1000.
While it does not seem just to at
tempt to wrench from tho proprietors
the laud which lias been theirs for nt
least twenty years, at tho same time
they should not prevent Its being used
for the greatest good to the greatest
number. Like (he dog iii the manger,
they ecem inclined to improve tho
property as little ns poseitde and prevent
others from doing bo. At difl'emt times
large euuib havo been offered them for
it, but tltoy refuse to sell.
There la this advantage to bo gained
by the present condition, and that is
people of Email means have au oppor
tunity to go there and enjoy camping
privileges by paying but a email sum to
the owners. Worn some person or
persouB to fit It up ae a summer resort,
only the wealthier class could afford to
frequent the place. A splendid way out
of the difllculty would be for some one
to lease a portion of tho grounds and
fit them up as a retort, leaving the re
mainder to be used by campers ami
charging a email euni for the use of the
water.
There is no doubt ns to tho healing
properties of tho water, which have
been tested diffidently this year nt least.
On the boat going to Portland last Satur
day was a woman who had epent but n
few weeks there, nnd yet instead of be
ing crippled with rheumatism eo that
she could not help herself ae was the
case when she went thore, eho was
almost as spry as nny of tho other
passengers.
It Is to bo hoped that many improve
ments will be mado before another
season nnd tho springs bo the blessing
ihey were designed to be.
DOES THE O. R. & N. BACK IT?
Ileiiort That thn Coluinhla Valley tloail 1
I a Moliler I'lati. !
A tip from n direct ?ourco is to tho ef
fect that the 0. It. & N. is back of the
company that is securing rights of way
down the north side ot the Columbia riv
er. This is the talk on railroad row to
day.
'Die company referred to is the one in
corporated by Messrs. Gerlinger and Sta
pleton, under the caption of the Colum
bia Valley railroad. Rumors have had
almost every transcontinental road on
tho continent backing the road projectod
by Mr. Gerlinger. The incorporators
maintained all along that the road would
be built as an independent line; that no
road was backing it, and that it would
be operated solely upon its merits.
But railroad men are loath to believe
that any private concern would build
such a road independently, unless upon
mere speculation. Owing to the low
grades of which the road will get tho
benefit, there is no question about it
proving a good speculative venture, as
the Northern Pacific or Great Northern
would give a good price to eecuro the
possession of such an advantageous out
let to the seaboard, but there are indica
tions that the road is pushed by the 0.
It. &. N. It is asserted that thoBe em
ployed in surveying and obtaining rights
of way aro paid in 0. It. & N. gold. If
the informant is correct it is another
evidence of Mr. Mohler's long-beaded
policy. Naturally he would understand
the advantage of controlling tho Columbia
gateway. If any other road built down
north side of the river it would play
havoc with the O. II. & N.'e traffic. By
anticipating such a thing and building a
line itself, the U. It. & N. will havo ab
solute control of the Columbia river gate
way. With such an advantage it could
ehut out the other roads from Portland
and not feel the slightest uneasiness.
While the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern wouldfbe toiling andjjstraining
and using a great deal of steam in getting
cars over steep grades, the O. It. A N.
would bo smoothly gliding down an easy
grade in less than half the time con
sumed by those of its competitors.
These facts are apparent to every rail
road man.
Not long ago Mr. Mohler remarked at
a dinner that "lie never took a blufl'in
his life,'' and once in control of tho Co
lumbia river gateway if is not likely that
he will take what railroad men call
"Mellen's biufl'." Telegram.
An Advert IkIiik Hone;.
One of the English trade journals
publishes the following parndy on "I
Don't Like You Any More," which, it
save, is going tho rounds and is likely
to prove a hit :

We don't trade there any more;
You'll bo sorry whin you see us going to
some otlier store.
You can't sell us any stale goods,
Wo have opened wide our eyes;
