The flouring mill project at Grass Val
ley lias been discussed for some time
now, but the citizens of that place have
not given up the ideu of having a mill.
Mr. C. W. Moore is now in communica

wants a flour mill, and tin people will

It truly is "an ill wind that blows no.
body good." So thought Dalles people
about 11 o'clock this morning when one
of those "gentle" breezes, which causes
us so often to complain, made its ap
pearance just as we wero sweltering
with the heat. The Dalles winds may
nt times give us cause to grow weary at
their continued presence; hut when wo
consider how unbearable the atmosphere
would be without them, we are led to
Lappreclato rather than condemn them.

While not one of The Dalles frjends of
the irrepressible R. II. Wilson has dared
doubt the merits of his particular line
over other routes, they have often"
begged him to give them a "breeze" on j
the subject, and today their 'petition J
was granted when he walked in on us ',
' with his hands full of fans, scattering!
them broadcast. He said not a word on i
hie favorite subject; but lo and behold!
upon manipulating the aforesaid article,
a breeze from the ISurlinton was wafted j

The, exodus to tlieseaeide is increasing
each day, and every boat and train from
Portland is loaded with passengers going
thither. The extremely low rat of fare
by rail and boat to the mouth of the
Columbia is an inducement for people to
visit the coast, as a 25-cent rate for 100
miles makes it cheaper to travel than
stay at home. Whether this rato will be
continued for the season or not, is known
only to the ollicialsof the O. H. & N. and
Astoria & Columbia Jtivur railroad, who
have been carrying thousands of passen
gers for several months past at this
figure, and, so far as the general public
know, seem to prosper at it.
For some time past our people have
I been agitating the question of a free
delivery system for The Dalles, and
everything now looks bright for the con
summation of their hopes. The require
ment by law is that the gross receipt of
the ollice be $10,000 for tho year, and our
postmaster leports that The Dalles ollice
exceeds that amount for the fiscal year
euding June !50th in the sum of $-110.80,
jthe receipts having been $10U0.48. Ap
plication has been made by the mu
nicipal authorities, and it is now dls-
j cretionary wltli the postal department.
Our claims should be urged with a
tenacity that will eooii InEuro us a free
delivery system.
Yesterday the supreme court rendered !
a decision in the case of Henry Gardner 1
vb Wasco county. It will he remembered
fliufr tlifa la i tiaan irx rconim t- ilmn lcruu !
for nu If jury received in nu accident on
the Hice grade during the winter of '9S.
Moore & Gavin were attorneys for the
appellant and A. A. Jayne , and W. 11.
Wilson for the respondent. The lower'
court granted a nonsuit against tho
iiltilnlUt' nn the vrmiiui Unit nt, 1 1 it) elose
! of his evidence ,he had not made out
case sufficient to go to the jury, and the
question before the supreme court waB
whether the nonsuit wus properly
granted. The supreme court holds the
road was faulty and that its condition
contrived to the accident; that If the
condition of the road constituted the one
concurring cause of the accident, with
out which it would not have happened,
then the county would be liable, It is
held that this question as well as the
defendant's contributing negligence
should be left to the jury.
A. M. Kelsay, formerly county clerk
of Wasco county, but later a business
man in tbe new town of Shaniko, was
in Long Creek Monday making ar
rangements for the operation of the
Heppner-Canyon City stage line, which
fell on the hands of himself, Simeon
Bolton, and C. W. Haigbt.of The Dalles,
as bondsmen, through the failure ofj
B. F. Miller the enb-contractor. They
have been operating the line since the
lfith of June, and Mr. Kelsay's trip to
this place at this time was to secure tho
use of attached stock on the route dur
ing the time that proceedings are being
had in the bankruptcy court on the pe
tition of 13. F. Miller. The bondsmen
will conduct the line until future ar
rangements are made. They are each
men of meari9,and financially responsible
for the indebtedness of tiie route since
June lGth, so no one need hesitate to
lend asssistauce when the same is ap
plied for. Blue Mountain Eagle.
It is always conceded that a cat has

the minds of the people in the East End

they to consult their own feeling9 July

the place which now knows him to its
sorrow, would know him no innro forever.
Some time since at the solicitation of a
number of ladies, whoso flower gardeiiB
he had laid waste, we wrote his obituary,
and he left town in disgust for greener
fields; but a "bad penny always, returns"
and "the goat came back" bringing bin
tail (or the semblance of one) behind
him. Since his return he has seemingly
been more independent than ever, nml a
few Sundays ago joined the independent
order of Odd Fellowe. Tho teachings ol
that order, however, seem to have little
elfect on him and he still continues hi
depredations. He has also joined the
class of "goats" known as dudes and
taken to chrysanthemums. Watching
his chance he throws his head In the air,
dropping it down among the choicest,
hikI nibbling the plants off to the roots,
leaving not n blade to tell tbe tule. His
days are numbered, aud ulready he
roameth among the tombstones at
Cotnini's, under which he will soon lie.

ready lying regarding the matter.
