' Circuit court for Gilliam county will convene at Condon next Monday, 13th. . The docket is about of average length '.. and it is presumed that it will not take over a week to dispose of all the busi , ness this time. Several sheepmen of the Antelope section at a recent meeting discour aged the use' of poison in killing coyotes, by withdrawing the bounty, on account of sheep dogs being killed . by the strychnine. This morning Mr.. Ben Ulrica buck ; eled on his hunting gear and took pas sage on the Regulator for some point down the river, where he will amuse himself for a fortnight shooting what- ever game may come within the range of his deadly fowling piece. The frost last week did considerable damage to the cherry crop. In some orchards it is thought the Royal Annes . and Black Republicans are nearly all killed.

A sheepman residing in the southern part of the county writes that he hu had a successful lambing season thus far, the lambs all being large and stout.n ad 95 per cent of them have been saved. With the occasional showers of rain that are falling it would require some thing very unusu 1 to prevent East ern Oregon producing an immense grain crop this season. Everything is favorable for an unprecedented yield The democratic platform was pub lished in Saturday's issue, and the re publican declarations of principles are given today. Voters should peruse them carefullv. and then determine which coincides most nearly with their views.

It belongs to Mrs. J. H. Mosier. - F.noineer E. G Fanning, of Walla Walla paid fire department, has per fected a most useful invention for a system of fire alarm, and has m vle a proposition to the city-council for the adoption of the system. It has pecu- liar merit of its own, and is highly spoken of. It is estimated that there are be' tween 76,003 and 103.030 bushels of wheat in the warehouses at Waitsburg .yet unsold, the owners of which feel themselves able to hold for better prices. The price now is 42 cents which is about 10 cents higher than it was a year ago. The owners of floating fishwheels have most of them in the river, and are catching some fish, but so far the catch has been very lightr owing no doubt to the low stasre of water. Sta tionary wheels are still high and dry and are doing nothing, and will not until the water has risen ten or fifteen feet. ' The enrollment of the Washington agricultural college, at Pullman," has passed the 300 mark. The enroll ment for the entire school year of 1894-5 was but .189 while for 1893-4 it it barely passed the 100 mark. So far the enrollment this year is nearly 200 per cent greater than two years ago, and almost 100 per cent larger than last year. Populist primaries were held in several of the precincts in the county last Saturday, and delegates were elected to the couDty convention which is called to meet in The Dalles next Saturday.

In East Dalles a meeting was held, but we are unable to say if delegates were elected. In 1894 Grant county received from . the 5 per cent, state road fund the " 8umpf $2,562.67. Last year her share was 8966,70. This year the sum ap portioned to Grant county is only $308. 30, with a strong probability that next year Grant county will owe the road fund. Hard times cause slow col ' lections from the sale of state lands. Grant County News. The approach of spring is having a ' bad effect on some of the horses used j in the city. Several runaways have occurred within the past few days, . causing considerable excitement al ' though doing no damage. Even C. L. ' Schmidt's old delivery wagon horse took a coltish freak last evening and .. cantered around oyer town, scattering . groceries over the street promis cuously. Today Mr. S.. B. Adams, who was appointed by the county court to con struct a new road from the outskirts of the city to Three-Mile, viewed out ' the route, and found the heaviest grade at any point to be only five in . shes to the rod. He contemplates the road can be completed within a - week, and when finished will be a vast im provement over the present route. All county officers who will be suc ceeded by others will be compelled to relinquish their offices the first Monday in July, with the single ex ception of assessor who holds until the first Monday in January following the election. This is in accordance with a recent act of the legislature, . as the assessor is usually very busy in July making assessments, ana his work cannot be profitably broken in upon. County School Superintendent W. W.Kennedy has completed his enu meration of school children of Gilliam county, compiled from the reports of the school district clerks of the county. There are even 1400 school '.- children in Gilliam county. - This is an increase of 117 over 1893 and 32 over 1890, the year in which the last gov ernment census of Gilliam county was taken. By the census taken last year by Assesor Clarke, it appears that Gilliam county lost about 600 people since 1890, but be this as it may, it is an undoubted fact that we have 32 ' more school children now than we had then. The people of Rockland were con siderably exercised last Saturday by the appearance in that place of a half dozen strangers, who were clambering around over the rocks on the north side of the river. The Rocklanders held a consultation and came to the conclusion that the strangers were a gang of Fins from Astoria bent upon destroying the fish trap and wheels in that vicinity. They at once tele graphed Sheriff Stimson of Golden dale, and requested that he come to their assistance. When the sheriff ar rived he ascertained that the suspected parties were farmers from Dakota look ing for locations in Washington.

Silver Predominated ud a Platform Was Adopted Declaring for Free Coinage of Sliver Cleveland Endorsed. HIGH WAV ROBBER!. Stand and Two Dalles Citizens rorced to Deliver. About 9:30 last Saturday night as Messrs. N. Harris and M. H. Schwartz were wending their way homeward, and when they had gone about half way up the brewery grade, two masked men stepped out Into the road and with drawn pistols commanded them to throw up their hands. Neither Mr, Harris nor Mr. Schwartz was armed. and as they were completly at the mercy of the robbers, they could do nothing but hold up their hands while the highwaymen relieved them of their money. Mr. Harris had only thirty cents with him, but Mr. Schwartz was less fortunate. He had $11.65 in his pocket, representing the greater por tion of bis week's salary, and the rob bers took every cent. .The night was pretty dark, but there was sufficient light that some peculiar ities about the robbers could be noted. They were of medium height, had their coats turned inside out, and one wore a paper mask while - the other had a handkerchief over his face, Money seemed, to be all they wanted as they did not molest either of the gentlemen's watches or other jewelry. From this fact it is presumed the rob bers were residents of the city, bad they not been they would most likely have taken everything of value the gentlemen had with them Land Office Business. The last quarterly report of The Dalles land office shows a slight falling off in the number of hnal proofs and an increase in the number of acres se lected, as compared with the previous quarter.

"The democratic party of the state of Oregon, in convention assembled, pledges itself to m lintain at all h iz irds fie ouritv of the ballot, and that fundamental principle of American liberty which gives to every eiuz -n a rieht to vote and to have that vote counted, and condemns as unAm"ri can and undenioeratic; tho disgraceful ' cond uct of the dictators and rulers of t he republican party in certain portions of the state of Oregon in surrounding the polls with armed men for the purpose of Intimidating honest voters and preventing fair and honest elections." THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. They Had Exciting- Times and Made Pe culiar Nomiuatlons.' On the 8th the republican, district conventions were held, that of the first ditrict in Albany and of second in Portland. Tne Albany convention was comparirively harmoniom, the only material contention being the selection qf a candidate for congress. After balloting for several hours, Thomas H Tongue, of Washington county, pecured a majority vjite and was declared duly nominated. But in the second the convention was less harmonious. The Multnomah delegation proved the disturbing ele ment, and for tho sake of 'harmony, a compromise was effected, whereby half of the delegates representing each of the opposing factions wepe seated. The nomination of the convention fell to Mr. Ellis, he having secured a slight majority of votes over Mr. Moody. When the state convention con vened the same disturbing element, the Multnomah delegation, proved the source of discord, and was disposed of as in the district convention.

Jaynes; joint senator Sherman and Wasco counties, John Michell, of Wasco: joint senator, Sherman. Wasco and Gilliam, W. H. Moore, of Sher man; joint representatives. Sherman and Waso counties, F. N.

We believe the time has come to return to the policy of Wash ington and Hamilton, which, by dis criminating duties in favor, of A.iilri can bottoms, secured 9J percent of our carrying trade to America ships, ai.d which, if now restored, would again revive our shipping and cause Ameri can frei-j hts to be paid to Americans.
