Wild Oregon grapes can be made Into
the finest kind of jelly, according to the
Portland Telegram, On exhibition at
tho permanent exhibit of Oregon re
sources, 24G Washington street, is a
small glass of wild grape jelly, put up
by Mrs. Ida Rubs. The flavor is deli
cious. The making of these grapeB into
jelly opens great possibilities for it be
coming a commercial article. Those
who know claim it does not need Rny.j
more sugar than is used in making the
other fruit into jellies, and as for taste
and flavor, nothing this side of Mars
can equal it, that is, according to the
tasto of connoieseurs. It grows in great
profusion upon the hillsides of Oregon,
and does not need cultivation.
A freak In the habits of a wild bird
is evidenced nt the ranch of Thomas C.
Fargher, near Nunsene, about twenty
miles south of here, where a hen grouse
has taken up her residence in the
chicken yard, and has apparently set
tled down for n peaceful and happy life.
About a month ago the bird appeared
among the chickens, and counting upon
Mr. Farghcr's well-known hospitality,
made herself ut home, since which time
she baa gradually become very tame and
has ceased to notice the presence of
pereous uear or among fowls. Although
flying about at will, the grouse takes but
short flights and invariably returns to
the flock whore she eats their food and,
what is more singular in a wild bird,
she carefully inspects the coop, turning
hor head quickly from side to side after
tho pretty fashion of wild hens, then
quietly takes her pluco on the family
perch. This is the first instance re
corded in this vicinity of a wild bird
voluntarily casting its lot with domestic
fowls.
J'roepcrlty und Crime.
But 270 convicts are in the Oregon
penitentiary at present. At no time
since 1885 has the number of Inmates
been so small, with the exception of
1888, when the average was 2G5.
"When searching forevidenco of pros
perity, attd fixing results to causes, per
haps it would be Interesting to notice
tho effect of McKlnley prosperity on
crime in this state," said State Senator
Daly, ot Bentou. "Tho hard times
which set in at the change of adminis
tration in 1802 were at their culmina
tion und very worst in 1806, or at least
men who had managed to endure them
from 1892 as they drew toward tho end
in 180G became more desperate and dis
couraged. "In August, 1890, there werf over 400
convicts in tho statu penitentiary of
Oregou, and in August, 1000, there were
but 270. In fact, except ono year, 1888,
thoro has never been so few inmates in
the state prison as now tiuoo 1885. In
connection with this fact it is well to
enumerate that the population of Ore
gou in 1885 was 188,000, while in 1000 it
Is at least 450,000.
"From 1888 down, the uumber of con
victs in the state prison was from 320 to
450, or nn average of 345, and in 1808
the average wns 205,"
The Wheat Trade.
The new crop season has fairly Eet in ;
receipts are daily growing laager, farm
ers are selling and vessels are taking on
wheat and the situation generally is
active. Exporters have made provision
for tonnage to the turn of the year, so
that with a continuation of freo Eelling
our clearances during the balance of the
current year ought to make a satisfac
tory showing. The only drawback to
what would otherwise be a most accept
able state of affairs is the cheapness of
wheat and poor net returns to the farm
ing class; but this is something beyond
the control of either seller or buyer, the
price being established by the Eupply
and demand. At the preeent time it
would appear as though all exporting
countries were pressing supplies on the
market, and there is no doubt about
there being an abundance of wheat in
sight to meet the requirements of im
porting countries for months to come.
The strong tone prevailing for and
higher freight rates, which are now firm
at 45a to 46a 3d has had an unfavorable
effect upon wheat values. The bulk of
local transactions the past week were on
the basis of 57c for club, 58c for valley
and 60c for blue stem per bushel, yet it
appears that these figures paid for grain
are eomethlng above its relative ship
ping value, and it is not unlikely that
unless the Englieh market advances in
tho near future we may look for lower
prices here. Local dealers at present
are quoting 5G57c; blue stem 59c, and
valley GOc per bushel, the latter quality
being In good demapd. Millers in the
iuterior are running prices up and deal
ers here are compelled to meet the raise.
Portland Commercial Review, Sept.
0th.
Ovattuu from Start to finish.
Today's Oregonlan gives the following
report of The Dalles Elks as they ap
peared in the big parade at Portland
yesterday :
Cascade Lodge, No. 303, of The Dalles,
P. W. DeHuff, exalted ruler, represent
ing the wool industry of Eastern Oregon,
had a moat novel and original uniform
of white wool suits and white wool head
dress, nil in semblance of sheep. Thia
delegation drew by ropes a fine float en
titled "Tho Wool Queen of Waeco
county," in which sattieorgo A. Young,
a pioneer sheepman of Wasco county,
who acted as wool queen and was at
tended by Misses Edith Been and Helen
Tnaver as courtiers. The float was
d tagged along by the lodge after the
manner ot pulling a tire engine in too
old volunteer days. It was surrounded
hv Rhenherda in fantastical attire and
carrying crooks. The boys, nuinterlng
seventy, all told, created considerable
amusement by their trequent "Man;
Bah!" A band in Zouave uniform led.
From a gentleman who saw the pa
rade we learn that It was u continuous
ovation for The Dalles Elks from start
to finish, The committee, to whom had
been delegated the business of awarding
the prizes to the participants in the
parade, for a long time hesitated be
tween The Dalles and Salem lodge, but
finally decided to give the chief prizo to
the Salem lodgo on the technicality that
tho prize must go to the beet uniform,
There was no tuunuer of question, how
ever, that the Dalles Elks were entitled
to the whole bakery had the wording
been such as to have allowed the chief
prize to go to the best characteristic
uniform, and the committee, recogniz
ing this fact, generously awarded our
boys a special prize.
