Ten teams are now at work drawing . bricks from the yard of the state peniten tiarv to the reform school. About 1,200, 000 bricks will be required for the new ad ditions to the reformatory, and it is desired to have as many as possible of these on the . ground this fall. (Subject of the sermon at the Christian church this evening, is: "The KaDtism . f the Holy Spirit" . What was the original design of the Baptism, and is there any subjects ot this baptism nowr uome ana let us see what the scriptures teacn upon this important subject.

They also built a bouse out of thirty five different varieties of native Oregon woods." ' Complaints are made about . a class of hoodlums who attend services in our churches apparentlv for the purpose of fun and amusement to the annoyance of those wbo attend for their own spiritual benefit,, and who have proper reverence for religion ( Thia should be stopped, for it gives a bad reputation of the city, and reflects to the discredit of our young people. ' It would not sonnd well for an item to be published that the police of this city are forced to preserve order in churches in The Dailes; but such will be the case if this practice is continued. The state fair closed Saturday for the not large, and the exhibits were compar atively small, but the racesj were there and were of an interesting character. Sat urday in the free for all pace, Del Norte won the first heat in 2:20, and Doc Sperry the remaining three heats and race, mas ing the last heat in the fastest time ever made on me iracs, z:i$. wua uius won the 1 dash in 2:30. Dolly Withers won a special trot, best time 2 :20. Mult nomah, Barrows Bros, was at the end, And -waft withdrawn on the last heat. Last night, about 10 o'clock, a team was hea'd passing the residence of Mr A. J. Anderson, about three miles west ot the city. He went out to ascertain the cause and found a team of horses at tached to a spring-hack passing through bis lane, and no driver was discernible. He caught the animals and placed them in his barn. To-day he has canvassed the city and can fiud no owner of the ve hicle. The horses and wagon are unin jured ; but what became of the owner re mains a mystery. I The report published by our cotemporary that the Tygh hill grade was badly damaged during the rain storms a few days ago is in correct. Hon. E. N. Chandler passed over the grade since, and ascertained the fact that it was not rendered impassible for teams. The streams in the gu'leys from the hillside washed some loose gravel and a few small rocks on tbe road, but not suf ficient to render travel difficult. It is un doubtedly one of the most substantial and best built highwsys in the county, and Mr. Driver is entitledto considerable credit for the work done. East Oregonian: There are not fifty fnll blooded Indians left on the reservation. The braves, old and young, apd their famil ies, are scattered throughout the mountains from Northern Idaho to Southern Oregon, engaged in the pursuit of game, except some 500 of them, who have gone to Washington hop fields.

Republican: A large number of mining claims have been located in Tim ber canyon, in the vicinity of Eagle val ley, southeast ot Union, and wtH'no doubt huiAma a irnirt nomn aa Biwn an the nrno pects are properly developed. Much work has already been done there and the shewing made is excellent. The gen eral character of the ore is free but some base ores are found. The ledges are from two to ten feet in width and will mill from 3 to $15 per ton In gold and from $1 to $30 in silver. The canyon lies in the mineral belt that passes through the eastern part of Union count-.', has an abundance of wood and water, and will, no doubt, in time become the seaio f great mini g operations. The effect of whispered scandal had an illustration in Astoria tbe other day, and emphasizes the fact that honest men and women should pay more attention to their own business and less to the affiairs of their neighbor. We copy the following from an exchange: "Mrs. Classen, wife of John P. Classen, of Astoria, came to Port land to visit her step-daughter last week, and some evilly disposed persons started a rumor that she had left her husband. Both Mr. and Mrs. Classen were terribly annoyed and humiliated when they heard the story, which was extensively circula ted, and feel so badly over tbe matter that they are makiug arrangements to sell their house and lot and will then leave Astoria." From Thursday's Daily. Mr. Geo. P. Morgan, of the Locks, ar rived in town yesterday,on a short business trip. ' Mr. J. B. Crossen, our county clerk, re turned from a hurried trip to tbe metropo lis last evening. Pocks are very plentiful in tbe sloughs above tbe city, and hunters have great cport in shooting them.

Bloss, of tha agricultural college at Corvallis, was married at Eagene last Tuesday evening to Miss Mary A. Wood, recently of Kansas City, Missouri. Yesterday was the Jewish holiday, known as Yow Kipper or the Day of Atonement. It began Tuesday at sunset and" ended yes terday at tbe same hour. This is observed by all orthodox Jews as an absolute fast day, and nothing is ate or draoK during me twenty-tour hours. Exceptions are made in case of invalids, very old persons and in fants.

It was captured by one of the citizens and furnished the substance of a noon-day meal. About 400 men are employed at the Locks, and work is being pushed very rap idly. There are 75 men now at work in the Dit of tbe canal, and 130 in the quarry At 6 resent indications tbe canal will be completed by the time named in the con tract, and perhaps before Front st: eet, through which passes trains at all hours of the night, and on which is situated the pasaenger depot and the prin cipal hotel of The Dalles, is without a sin gle arc light. This thoroughfare should have some benefit from the complete system ot arc lights now in operation in the city. Classes for academic work are being formed by Miss Uolcomb.

Those who wish to continue their academic work or to begin such work please send word by mail to Miss Holcomb at once. Exchange: A firmer hauled a load of wheat into Corvallis the other day which weighed just a too and sold it fur 45 cents s bushel, realizing $15 for bis ton of wheat. He bought a too of bran tor c w feed from the miller to whom he so u his wheat, and it cost him 90 cents per hundred or $18 per ton, so it cost him $3 in money to trade his ton of wheat for the miller's ton of bran. Miss Booth will open her kindergarten on Monday 25. h, iust, session to begin as 9 o'clock. The school will be held temporir- I iiy in the vestry-room of the Episcopal church.

Miss Booth is a graduate from Mrs. Duulaps trainiug school, Portland, aud has had tour years ex perience in teaching ' By reason of the academy closing this fall several young lad'es aod gentlemen, re siding in this city, have gone -to distant places for the means of acquiring an educa tion, and The Dalles has lost very materi ally in a financial way. With the favorable conditions this city posssesses, a collegiate institution should receive very lib ral patronage. It is estimate i that the hay crop this year is- worth about $1,000,000,000. Tbe indications are that the corn crop will be at least 1,700,000,000 bushels. The value of the crop at 45 cent a bushel would be bout $725,000,000. The wheat crop of the yeir will probably bring to the producers $300,000,000; cnttou at least $250,000,000; oatp, $1S5. 000,000, aud potatoes 8125,000,- 000 ' New Xork Daily Herald: Mr. Kellogg played, saniJ, whistled or warbled a "Ga- otte," by Smith. He did as probably no ofjaer man in the world can do. He had in his trtroat a Lark, a Canary, a Mocking bird and a Piccolo, where he concealed theui we do not know, but we beard them all. He is a good a oger, too, but tbe birds fairly took his song .away from him and made the audience crazy." There was a laige, attentive audience at the Christian church last night to bear the discourse on tbe "Baptism of the Holy Spirit." You could have almost heard the historic "pin drop" at any time during the sermon of an hour and hve minutes. At the olose of tbe discourse, three of our most substantial and respected citizens came for ward and made a confession of their faith. Tbe minister will favor tbe audience with a tecture this evening. Subject: "Wanted AMau. All aro cordially invited to at- len d. A good story is told by the Pendleton East Oregonian at tbe expense ot our own state. Two ladieft of Peodletou, who hid just retu ned on Friday trom a visit to tbe world a tair.intormed tbe reporter that they were of course astonished at tbe vastue.'s of everything they saw. But they declared that they were indignant while oil the grounds to have some one ask "where is Oregon? Somewhere in Washington?" Peo ple have been thoroughly acquainted with the resources of Washington, while Oregon is hardly represented. A mistake was made that Oregon did not invest more money in placing there an exhibit which would nave been a credit to tbe state. Vancouver is troubled with a large num ber of worthless dogs, and this is what the Independent says about them: "Vancouver is again becoming tilled with nald-taced. stub-tailed, lop-earned, moon barking, street-loafing, cellar-thieving, rumpus hunt ing curs aud dogs of the barn door breed, that greatly need exterminating. Most of them are poor enough to cast a shadow on both sides as they totter down the street barking at tbe street cars or the beer wagon. They should be cared for by the city board of chanties or bs given a deed to a lot in the potters field, where they cab hypothe cate to some populist butcher shop, where the wavering rank and file (three cornered) will be received with open arms. David Horne has intormed the Last gonian that a large proportion of tbe cattle of this section would be shipped to Booth Omaha, Neb., this fall. A gentleman re siding at Soda Springs, Utah, bas purchased 10,000 head in Malheur county to ship to South Omaha and will load them at Ontario. From Pendleton and Heppner also, on about October 15th, will be shipped 1000 bead. The recent experiment has bad the effect of turning the attention of buyers and sellers toward Omaha as an advantageous market. A letter to Mr. Horne from Gorrow, Kelly & Co., commission merchants of South Omaha, carries the information that prices of Oregon and Montana rattle have stiffened considerably in the Omaha market. tering whisky to Indians. Whether or not Peo supplies his dusky brethren with the "ardent our informant does not state. Who says the Iodiaus are not civilized? Last night was not a very busy one at tbe city jail. Not a single inebriate was ar rested, or a hobo taken in out of the cold. In consequence the recorder had no inter views this morniiu'. and devoted his leisure to Blackstone and Kent. Mr. Fred Patterson, a waiter at the Co lumbia hotel in this city, at an early hour tnis morning, whi e ascending the stairs of the hotel, fell and broke his left leg above the ankle. Dr. Holiiater reduced the frac ture, and the patient is doing well.

The late rains have delayed harvesting considerably, and wheat is not coming into the warehouses as lively as expected Threshing is nearly finished in many por tions of the county, and, as the roads are in excellent condition, the grain will be brought to market in a few days. Prices are appreciating, and farmers will store the product for some time. From the c ilumns of the Moro Observer we learn the following regarding the vield or some tarms in mat vicinity: "Al V Adams was lucky enough to get his thresh ing hnislied before the wet ipell. He had 410 sacks of grain from his timber culture west of town, there being about 45 acres in wheat.

But ler arrived in the city from an extended survey of the country in Eastern Oregon on Monday, after being absent seven weeks. A telegram informed Mr. Cran dall of the serious illness of his wife, and this hastened his return ; but when he ar rived she was much improved In their tour they passed through Wasco, Crook Grant, Lake, Harney, Malheur, Baker and Union counties. The object was to ascertain a feasible route for a railroad from this city through the interior to the line of the Oregon Pacific in Lake county, and this was under direction of the head office of a transcontinental company that has abundant capital and the necessary enterprise to complete the project. These gentlemen took with them the requisite instruments to ascertain levels and meas ure altitudes, and from The Dalles they followed the Lieut. Norton survey to the Deschutes. This was found to be the mo3t difficult part of the proposed 'road. but the average grade will not exceed fifty feet to the mile. Strikins that river at the agency ferry, they followed up the stream to the month of crooked riyer, a distance of twenty miles, the altitude ot the former place being 1000 feet and of the latter 1125 feet, making an average of about seven feet to the mile. There would be no difficult work in following this stream, and the road oed could be easily made From this point they ' went to Prineyille in Crook county. 45 miles dis tant. The first twenty miles there is no gracfe to exceed fifty feet, and from that distance to the town mentioned the land is comparatively level. After' leaving Prineville they found the ground much more feasible- for a railroad, the streams flowing over a level country, and only passing through canyons where they empty their waters into lakes or larger rivers. At the head of Silver creek, 125 miles from Prineville, they reached the surveyed route of the Oregon Pscific, and lor the entire distnnce the grade would be very light. This creek spreads out, and down it would be a natural roadbed. At this point their work was completed, and thev started on the return trip. -About 12 years ago Mr. Crandall .surveyed a ro te from Snake riyer to Silver creek, and is thoroughly acquainted with the region. The route, if adopted, will open a fine agricultural belt of land, which is well watered, and the soil is very fertile. There are settlements nearly the whole distance of this proposed road, and after a railroad is built to furnish an available market for produce, the region will contain ten times the population it now does. The con struction of the line of road would not be expensive, and would not cost nearly so much as many now in operation. There is a probability that work on this projected road will be begun at an early date, and pushed to completion. Two or more transcontinental roads are looking towards Eastern Oregon, and the one who reaches the interior first will secure the larger pJrtion of the trade. The open Columbia river from this city to the ocean, makes this the objective point from which the lines will branch to the interior. ' Work at the Locks. ' Cascade Locks, Sept. 19, 1S93. Editor TiHRS-MocsTAUQKKR: . Silence is said to be golden in some cases; but "Zebedee" has not realized that there was any gold in his recent long continued silence, caused in a great meas ure by being quite unwell. Mr. George P. Morgan is still confined at home, and is not sufficiently recovered from bis recent sickness to attend to bus iness. Tbe rain stays with us, and at times comes down in wholesale quantities. Some fear that the genuine rainy season is upon us; but it is earnestly hoped that we may have at least two months ot clear weather between now and Christmas. The work goes on quarrying, hauling and cutting; also excavating in the canal. Wall building wMl no doubt commence soon if not prevented by too much rain. I. N. Day is here to stay. He has the reputation of being very able as a man ager and superintendent of large works. The town is still growing. , In fact, it bas been said in one instance at least that buildinz room is in such great demand that the county road has been encroached upon. ' Zebedee. Harvest Beport. , This is the report of the harvest in Linn county from the columns of the Albany Democrat: "While spring wheat, of which there is a small crop, has been damaged by the rain, the wheat product of this county is probably larger than ever before. Many of the warehonses are already full. At Tangent the Farmers is running over and no more is being received. The Farmers here baa nearly 150,000 bushels; the Red Crown Mills have been sacking for a week or two; G. F. Simpson at the Magnolia has stored large quantities, and the country ware houses all report a big storage. The grad ual advance in price is very encouraging. It will have its limit thoogh, and farmers should watch and take advantago of Cir cumstances and sell as early as possible and . put money into circulation, which will pro duce a normal condition of affiirs, and busi ness will run along as usual and the cry of 'bard times' will cnase in the land." Frizes for Fruit. At the solicitacio:i ot many persons in terested in the subject, the Portland indus trial expositcon has undertaken to gather fruit to be used in showing the pomologies! products of Oregon, at the midwinter fair, in San Francisco. This fruit will be gath ered and placed, on display at the exposi tion, in Portland, and will be combined with what may be gathered from other sources tor tne midwinter lair. Although every orchardist should exert himself to see that the interests of the fruit industry are properly represented at all times, as should every person desirous ot promoting the welfare of the state, the exposition has de cided to encourage and stimulate growers to send their beat products by offering the fol lowing prizes: For tbe largest five pears, $5. For tbe largest five apples, $5. The best ten varieties oi apples, $5. For the greatest variety of pears, $5. For the largest bunch of grapes, $5. For the greatest variety of grapes, $5. All fruit should be carefully labeled with the name and address of the sender and in placiog it on exhibition both at Portland and San Francisco, it will be identified in this way, to that due credit will be received by the producers. Frdit should be carefully packed and shipped by express to the Port land industrial exposition, Portland, Or. There will be no charges for the express for the shipper to pay. Entries for prizes will not be received later than October 7th, but choice fruit for exhibit will bs taken any time prior to October 20. Orchardists are urged to give this matter the attention it deserves. Work is Pushed. Now that every sign of last winter and tbe high water of the Columbia river have disappeared, and there is no danger of frost cracking tbe cement between tbe layers of sandstone, we bear nothing more of how work is progressing at the Locks. Last winter it was "as soon as tbe snow melts," and after the snow melted "when tbe high water subsides, tbe work will be pushed rapidly forward to completion." That is all right, but how about it after all thia has come to pass? Is it possible that Day broth ers are waiting for the rain and wind to That Fish. Mr. D. C. Herrin, the photographer, has made prints of the strange fish the camel or humpbacked salmon lately caught in the Columbia river at this pcint. One has a group of men in the background aud the liili iu the foreground, which makes it ap pear very large. Under this picture is written the following verse: "Col. Sinnott went i flshin? not very lonir ago. And caught a little fish which looked like this you know. He inyited all bis neighbors to come aud take a look. And sent for P. C. Herrin to have his picture took. The news of this great fish was noised about the town; Its fame bad reached the country for miles and miles arouna. The other view is taken with the men in tbe foreground aod the fish in the back ground, aud this gives it the appearance of about its uatural siz-3.

S. court in Portland. Here is an example from Clatsop county, taken from the-4orian: "Yesterday morn ing J. P. Austin, the well known post-master-at Cannon Beach, was taken np to Portlapd by a United States marshal, under arrest at the instance of A. P. G. Wist, postmaster at Kebalem, for sending scurri- ous and defamatory matter through the mails. ' It appears that Wist sent Austin reome registered packages with receipt cards attached for delivery at Canuon Beach, and that Austin was a little tardy in returning the receipts. Wist wrote in a very impa tient manner asking the reason for the de- , and Austin then mailed one of the re ceipt cards in answer, with these words written across the face, 'What's the matter with yon? I bear you were drunk yester day.' So Wist at once took out a warrant in the United States court and had his brother postmaster arrested." , Children Cry for PITCHER'S Castoria " Castoria is so well adapted to children that recommend it as superior to any prescription aown to me."
