tion as to whether Corbett and Fitz
simmons would be allowed to fight
anywhere in Texas and outside of the
newspapers.
Wasco county fruit attracts atten
tion not only in the east, but many
from the interior counties are coming
here for their winter supply of apples,
pears, etc. At nresent two gentlemen
from Crook county, Messrs. T. R. Curl
. and Renick J'essee, are on Five mile
loading wagons with fruit.
The salmon run still continues good,
though the catch is falling off slightly.
The cannery is yet running at its 'full
'. est capacity with the crew attainable, j
and will probablv be kent so runnino- i
. for a week or two. The catch so far
shows about 3000 cases and the total
. for the season will probably be double
j.ne new wnan presents a busy ap
pearance, a large number of carpen
ters being at it. The caps and flooring
are being put in place, and there is a
pile of lumber on hand that is simply
immense. There are about 90 piles to
be driven yet for a roadway from First
street through the lot east of the Cosmopolitan.-
.
About 325 men are at work at the
Locks, and the Day Bros, are hiring
every man they can get. The rumored
starting of work on the railroad at
Astoria caused a number Italians to
quit, leaving them temporarily short
handed. Work is being pushed as
rapidly aa possble and two big scows
are being built for the dredger. ,
Wheat is coming in - very rapidly
from Klickitat, and the ferryboat is
kept busy handling the four horse
teams. We noticed nine teams wait
ing at one time this morning to get
across the river. The recent rains
' have left the roads in spend id condi
tion, and the farmers are all ' taking
advantage of the good weather to get
- their crops to market.

The sound of the blastinar heard the
last day or two is caused by the crew
engaged in repairing the telegraph
line. They are blasting out the rocks
and leaving boles sticking in the
ground to place telegraph poles in.
The country is settling up steadily
as is evidenced by the homestead til
ings at the laod office. This morning
four such filings were made, one near
Waldron, and the others in the
Mitchell, Antelope and Lone Rock
neighborhoods.
The Bunnell brothers who are fish
ing on the Washington side think
they have found some placer ground
that can be made to pay, and as soon
as the fishing season is over they in
tend giving it a thorough trial. There
is plenty of gold in the bars of the
Columbia, but it is so fine that it is
aimcmt to save it. yet the Chinese oc
casionally mine the bars above Celilo.
When the public schools of New
York city were opened the other day,
221,000 pupils appeared in the 140
school houses, where they were met by
4000 teachers. .There are only thir
teen cities in the county, exclusive of
New York, that have each a larger
population tnan tne number of the
public school children of the metrop
olis, which goes to show what a great
city wew x oric is.
Three carloads of Shropshire bucks
arrived from Michigan last night for
Kerr & Buckley, the sheep kings of
Sherman county. This is a move in
.the right direction, as the Shropshire
is a large bodied sheep. Our sheep.
the Merino, is getting smaller and
smaller until there is hardly enough
of him left to hold the wool on and
keep the roots on opposite sides of him
from getting tangled.
Between, the compositors and a care
less proof reader, we were made to say
yesterday, that we hoped brother
Michell would return from his visit to
Michigan "regenerated." Now out
side of Mr. Michell's politics be can
hardly be classed as unregenerate.
What we wrote, and what we intended
to print, was, the hope that he might
return "rejuvenated," made vounc- and
frisky enough to kick a football of ride
a bike.
A Fine Program, Excellent Talent and an
Appreciative Audience.
The concert at the Congregational
church last Tuesday was well attended,
and the audience snowed its apprecia
tion of the numbers by hearty applause
ana numerous encores. The nrst num
ber was a piano solo, "On Wings of
song- oy Airs. u. r. ueaia, ana wnen
the little lady stepped upon the plat
form she was greeted with a warm
welcome evidenced by a hearty clap
ping oi nanas. Airs. Jt;. u. trice was
also given a hearty welcome, and
when she sang "My Lady's Bower"
was encorea ana compelled to respond.
ne vocal solo "Promise Me" was to
have been sung bv Mr. W. Crossen.
but as he was suffering from a severe
cold Mr. .Perkins kindly took his place.
Mr. Perkins has a verv sweet, clear
and well-trained voice, aud later in the
evening sang "Wishing I Were Home
Tonight" so well that the audience
would not be satisfied until, he re
sponded to an encorer Miss Black-
woods violin solo was a pleasing fea
ture oi the program. Miss Ann (J.
Smith, of Hood River, had to sing the
secona piece before the audience would
let her go, and she was followed by
Mr. james uourgan witn a selection
on tne bagpipes, wbich was a genuine
treat, and which he followed later
with two others. Miss Ketch um '9
recitation of James Whitcomb Riley's
poem "Curvature of the Spine" proved
her an adept and was followed bv such
a storm of applause that she could not
refuse to obey it. Miss Eliot, of Hood
Kiver. sang two numbers ana an en
core, bhe has a rich full voice that
shows careful training. Mr. Hunting
ton's reading of the poem "Chicka-
mauga," by Maurice Thompson,
showed that he understands the beau
ties of poetry as well as the intricacies
of the law. The closing number was
a piano solo by Mrs. Heald, aud when
she had held the audience breathless
for ten minutes while her flying fin
gers hypnotized the Soul of Music and
forced it to do her bidding, there was
a full minute of silence, more eloquent
than sound, before a storm of applause
rolled out making the windows rattle
and increasing until she was again
seated at the piano, and which again
broke forth at the conclusion of her
third number. Taken all in all it was
one of the most delightful affairs of
the kind ever given in The Dalles.
we might add, since the piano war
seems to be taking a rest, that the- pi

ously furnished by the Jacobsen Book
& Music Co., and was certainly a fine
instrument.

From Thtrsrtays Daily..
Hon. F. P. Mays came up from
Portland today.
. And still the wheat comes in a steady
stream from Klickitat.
- Mr. J. Wi Armsworthy, of the
wasco news, is in tne city.
O. GrCbllver, of Crook county, is in
tne city today alter winter supplies.
The fair beginning here Oct. 8th.
will be the best one ever held at The
Dalles. Every arrangement and de
tail is being looked after, and the ex
hibits in the new armory which will
be used instead of the pavilion will, be
the mo9t complete and finest ever at
tempted. The products of our orchards
will make a fine showing, and as
several of our merchants have de
termined to make a display, that
portion of the fair will be notable.
Some fine horses will be present, and
the races will be well worth seeing.
NOT DUE TO ADVERTISING
HARD WINTER COMING.
Tne Ashland Tiding Interviews an Aged
Siwash and Gets Some Pointers on
the Weather.
Su-wap a-to, an aged Indian from
Okanogan country, says that winter
will set in earlier this year than for a
long time past. Me had discoursed
with old men from great distances in
all directions, and such was their
unanimous opinion. Su-wap-a-to is
not an astronomer, in the sense that
white people understand that term,
yet by long experience and little else
to do but make observations and store
up results in his memory, he is
equipped with a fund of kmowltdge as
to weatner signs, which in his judg
ment are infallible.
"The Great Spirit," he said, "gave
men plenty of horses, but they stole
his lightning and killed the cuitan for
tood. Then tne wheel came. Even
with these old eyes of mine, and with
sick turn turn, I saw Indian boys from
the school, side by side with white
faced kloochmen, dressed in breech
clouts, riding man style, before the
wind. I saw Indian kloochman turn
away in shame, for when they ride
straddle they have the shame to cover
up their legs with blankets. I know
all this would offend the sun, and was
not surprised when he turned his face
away from the world one day. I
thought it would never be seen again,
and was glad when he turned and
looked back, seeming to say-he pitied
the poor old Indians who had watered
At the urgent request of many of
our most fashionable readers, who rec
ognize the delicacy of our taste in
dress, we have somewhat reluctantly
consented to devote a small portion of
our space to answering correspondents
questions. While we realize the truth
of the old adage that a fool can ask
questions a wise man cannot answer,
we nevertheless undertake to answer
them according to their folly. All
communications should be addressed
to the "Fashion Editor."
Nora As you are only 26, and not
liable to get older for ten or twelve
years, we would advise that you get a
rich golden-brown crepon in prefer
ence to black for your autumn dress.
A full vest or chemisette shown inside
a bolero front will make a fine tout en
se ruble. Some other clothing should
be worn with this, of course.
.belle jno, we ao not believe in
using the diminutives for girl's names.
Do you?
HOPELESS :To remove irecmes, treat
them with lemon juice twice a day.
Tincture of iodine will hide, but not
remove them without also removing
the hide. For a bad case of confluent
freckles we would suggest a shell
game, where the operation of skinning
is painless ana speedy.
subscriber Pink chrysanthemums
will be worn by brides in November.
After that they will, most of them, be
satisfied with anything they can get in
tbe shape of flowers.
UULCINEA Your question is dith-
cult to answer. As far as we have seen
bloomers are not much worn, but then,
you know, they are made so full that
the wear doesn't show. Will advise
you later.
oandon you asu wnat a iNovember
bride should be married in. We would
suggest that she "get married in haste
and repent at leisure." As she is
bound to repent, she might as well
have the leisure in which to do it thoroughly.
.brunette JNo: A mulattress would
not be classed a? a brunette; but rather
as an alutaceous blonde. The crispa
ture of the capillary covering, rather
than the dermic secretions of colored
matter, or lack of it, is the distinguish
ing feature between a. brunette white
man and a blonde Nero.

Duelling Stopped In Mexico.
The code duello in Mexico has re
ceived a crushing blow, happily for the
benefit of humanity. Colonel Fran
cisco Romero, of the Mexican army,
has been convicted at the City of Mex
ico of unlawfully killing Jose Veras
tequi, chief of the government stamp
department, in a duel fought over a
year ago. Romero has been sentenced
to prison for three years and four
months at hard labor; to pay all the
costs of the trial; tQ pay Verastegui's
funeral expenses: to pay a fine of
$1800 or serve three months more in
prison, and to pay in monthly install
ments to Verastegui's widow and chil
dren $4500 annually for 18 years. Pub
lic opinion, tbe press, the public prose
cutor and the court were united in in
sisting that an example be made of
Romero. One of Romero's seconds
was General Larno Carillo, ex-governor
of the state of Chihuahau, now a
Federal senator. Verastegui's seconds
were Senor Costella, president of the
Mexican senate, and Senor Ramon, a

centered on his steed until there were
none left for promiscuous distribution.
The horse was, and is a good one, a

a good stepper, and he seemed to de

state of affairs has existed for a year

County Officers Left.
' A statement of fact that is a cruel
arraignment of the state of Nebraska
comes from Ashland. There arrived
at the latter place last week twenty
five immigrants from Nebraska, who
have come to Oregon to go into the
farming business. In the crowd was
the county judge, county attorney and
two county commissioners of Hooker
county, Nebraska, all of whom actually
deserted their offices to get out of the
state. The inborn hankering of all

COMING DISTRICT FAIR.
An Important Event That Our Farmers
and Fruit-Growers Shonld Encourage.
The district fair which commences
October 8th and holds five days should
have the encouragement ana support
of every person in the district, and
especially of the citizens of Wasco and
Sherman counties. The management
has done everything in its power to
make the meeting a successful one.
Liberal purses have been provided for
the speed contests, and the citizens of

which placed $2000 in the hands of
the managers and made possible the
first-class speed contests which will
take place. It is not in speed contests
though, that the benefits of agricul
tural meetings are best shown, but
rather in the exhibits of farm prod

producer to study the characteristics
of grains, vegetables and fruits, to
eomnare Variyiiiinii 1 t ,tlx ressifco r
planting in different soils, and the us
ing of different methods, it enables
each farmer to get the benefit of every
other farmer's experience, instead of
having to do all his own experiment
ing; to select varieties of grains and
fruits that he may find from the expe
rience of others is best suited to his
lands, and not only this, but to impart
his own experience for the benefit of
his neighbors. .Besides this a good
exhibit always proves a fine advertise
ment of the country. Strangers hunt
ing homes attend these fairs, because
they are thus enabled to see at a
glance what the country is capable of
producing. For these reasons the ex
hibit should be first-class. Let the
world nee what we can grow, and let
us all more fully understand and ap
preciate the capabilities of our coun
try. While $1500 will be distributed
in premiums, do not take part in the
fair with the sole idea of getting the
immediate benefit in the shape of the
premium. Enter the best you have
and win the premiums if you can, but
at the same time keep in view the in
direct benefits you are obtaining. If
your neighbor can raise bigger and
better fruit than you examine the va
rieties he cultivates, and adopt his
methods. If by so doing you can in
crease the product of your fields and
orchards, surely it is a richer reward
than the mere premiums. And then
again, a good exhibit ' will perhaps
balance the scale in which some in
tending settler's opinion is suspended
and cause him to locate among us
Every newcomer adds to the wealth of
the county, assists in paying taxes,
building roads, scboolhouses . and
churches, and adding to tbe general
prosperity of the community. Let us
take a local pride tn our fair, and make
it ene the memory of which will be
gratifying. Bring in your products,
visit it, patronize it and make it, as
you can make it, a splendid success.
Lift it out of the old grooves in which
it has run, and not only this year but
next, and still the next assist in mak
ing it a thing to be looked forward to
with pleasurable anticipation every
year. It can be done, and it is to the
interest of every land owner in the
district that it be done. A good strong
pull will do it, and we hope when the
gates are opened next month that the
exhibits and attendance,- will show
that the pull has been made.
Hood Elver to Show the Products of Her
Orchards and Climate.
The managers of the Hood River
fair are going to have among their
other exhibits, a baby show, and, if
possible, a wedding. Hood River
products will compare favorably with
those of any other section, or for that
matter all other sections of the state;
and this whether those products are of
the orchard or simply of the nursery,
the babies being classed of course
among the latter. The-soil and the
climate are such that apples grow al
most spontaneously and babies may be
said to be indigenous. Hood River
apples have made a reputation for
themselves all over the country as be
ing plump, firm, highly colored, deli
cately flavored, .tender-fleshed and free
from worms, a reputation that will
also prove applicable to the babies.
That the apple exhibit will be a mag
nificent one goes without saying, for
even last year it was agreed upon, tac
itly, that this year an exhibit of the
orchard products would be made.. Un
fortunately at that time the baby show
Had not been tnougnt 01, ana hence
that department can hardly be said to
have had an equal show with the or
chards, yet that exhibit will be a good
one too. As for the wedding, that
ought to be easily arranged for there
are plenty of young folks down there,
all of them better looking than a part,
and no extra inducements ought to be
necessary, because it will be a merry
time.
A PICTURE.
Grandfather in his broadcloth goes
To hear the parson's Sunday prose.
He sleeps the sermon safely th rough.
Behind his pillar, out of view.
For never dangerous doctrine ren
From Parson Torn: he knows hts man.
And feeling his salvation sure
Be points the morals with a snore.
Whereat, with giggles, all tbe girls
Do shake their rows of dancing curia.
Here is the flame of young romanoe
Oft nourished by a subtle glance.
And Cupid lifts beneath the rose
Of Dame Theology the rose
That quivers on Clarlnda's heart
Responsive to the looks that dart.
Whence Collin, tired of parables.
The herdsmen's quarrel at the wells.
Contents him with the lovely shape
That glances through Clarlnda's cape.
Among the boys some bench is cut.
Or one essays the traitor nut
That pops, whereat, with cheeks aflame.
The kernel's fumbled in his shams.
And rolling underneath a pew
la out of reach, but still in view.
And through the marble, nut and knife
Lot's wife, and yet again Lot's wife.
Outside his tale the blackbird spins.
The tributary thrush begins
To praise the blue audaciously
With daring turns of melody.
And now the parson ends his prose.
The hymn is sung, grandfather goes
Eerenely home, and quite assured
He profited and never snored.
And thumps the turfy path apace
Eaya. sleep in church is sheer disgrace.
Now Collin, free of circumstance.
Pursues Clarinda with romance.
Forgiving ail the herdsmen's strife.
Lot's wife, and yet again Lot's wife.

Since that time his career has been

the organ, of taste is in the lower

Some prefer animal food, especially

A Harvard student told me an mm
rift story about himself the other day.
It seems that recently his mother had a
young lady guest at their home on the
Back Bay, and when he came from col
lege in the afternoon he was introduced
to her. At dinner also she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten
tion to the fair visitor, as bis mind was
engrossed with a problem in his lesson.
However, his brothers were as aaaidueus
as possible in entert ining her. As it
happened, the latter had engagements
out that evening, and, as Mrs. A. had
promised Miss B. to have one of her sons
take her to the theater, it fell to the lot
of my friend George, the Harvard man.
He accepted the situation gracefully,
and in due time the young couple set off
for the theatre. Arriving, George left
his companion at one side of the lobby
while he stepped up to the box office and
purchased the tickets; then, turning
about, he looked toward the place where
he had parted from the young lady, and
was surprised to see half a dozen there,
and ye gods! is it possible? he could
not tell which was his precious charge!
Here was a dilemma. -
George said he immediately decided
thai rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person, he would stand still till
the young lady spoke to him. So he
gased at his tickets for what seemed to
him an age, but was probably only a
minute, when Miss B. came up and said,
"I fear you did not recognise me." "Oh,
yes yes " stammered George, equivo
cating 'yes, I did; I thought they had
not given me the seats I asked for, and
was considering what was best to do in
the matter." Boston Herald.
