W. Lord has been e'ected president,"
H. F. Laughlin vice-president, E. O
McCoy secretary, and French A Co.,
bankers, treasurer of the Wasco Ware-
! house Milling Co, recently incorporated
to b:;i!d a 500-bafrel flour mill at The
Dalles. Since tle organiz ition of this
company it has nought up the stock ot
the Watco Warehouse Company, and
also that of the Union Warehouse Com
pany. This makes it possible for the
new company to handle in its own ware
houses, direct jfroin the producer, the
wheat that it will icquire for Hour, and
gives the company an even chance with
the exporters who, in the last few years,
have been squeezing local dealers out of
the wheat market in most of Eastern
Oregon anil W aslnngton. This gives
our farmers a lasting competition in the
wheat buying business. The large flour
ing mill company will prove another
advantage to our farmers in that it will!
require a large amount of high grade'
wheat, for which it can and will pay
prices above those that can be paid by
the exporters. This makes it possible
for the farmer to get for his wheat just
what it is actually worth for milling
purposes. For the present the company
will operate in Wasco and Sherman
counties of Oregon, and Klickitat coun
ty, Washington. Wasco News.

A serious train wreck occuned at 1
o'clock this morning at a point on the
O. It. A H. track, about thirteen miles
west of The Dalles, when an engine and
caboose that were goim? west to tho
scene of a landslide below Bonneville
fell through a filled bridge aud four of
the train men and one Japanese were
injured. When the engine and caboose
came to n rest tne I root end ol the en
gine pointed upward, while the back
end of the tender pointed upward in the
opposite direction and t lie caboose lay
on top of the tender.
The marvel is that a number of the
men were not crushed to death. As it
is I'M ltullluo, the lireman, was taken
from the wreck with his thigh broken
and one foot crushed. Sam Winters,
the engineer, li.td his hip crushed or
broken, his left arm badly injured, a rib
broken and his face scalded by escaping
steam. Henderson and Meyer, two
brakemen, were bruised about the body
but perhaps not seriously, A .lapanese
laborer had his leg broken.
Tho iujiiied men were hiooght to The
Dalles under the care of Dr. Geisendorf

wreck, and ah traffic was suspended on

In a letter to the Moro Observer, re
citing his experience witli pure bred
chickens, Owen Thorn peon, of Monk
land, says: "I started last spring with
a pair of Wyandotts, and from the two
have sold cockerels and pullets to the
amount of 20, eggs $14, besides having
eaten chickens and eggs enough to pay
for their feed." He has left a nice flock
of pullets worth $25,
The page of the pipe at Windsor'Cas
tie holds an hereditary office which dates
back to the time of Charles II. That
merry monarch acquired the tobacco
habit Irom some of his Virginia colo
nists, and required a page, which was
paid a salary of $500 a year, to keep his
smoking apparatus in order. In a mo
ment of generosity his majesty made the
appointment permanent. Until 1705 the
honor was held by the Duke of Grafton,
who got hard, up and sold it to a mer
chant named Harrison. As Queen Vic
toria did not emoke, the office was a sin
ecure, but the descendants of Harrison
are entitled to the privilege of entering
the presence of their sovereign at any
time.
Some of the California oil excitement
struck Albany tho other day when it
was learned that crude oil was floating
on tho water in the rear of the C. A E
depot. The Democrat man says he in
spected it and sure enough there was the
oil. Several men who knew oil struck
matches to it and it sizzled and tried to
burn. A railroad man said he had seen
some of the California oil anil it was
crude oil all right. Certainly there is
no more reason why there should not be
oil here as well as in California. There
was plenty near enough in sight to cause
a boom for the city and bring Rockfeller
here to put tho field in his trust. When
the Democrat informs its readers that
Mr. John Turner, the thoughtful C. A E.
agent, was the discoverer, It need not
say any more.
