Sherman County Farmers Will Get Better
, Beturns Than They Expected.
A gentleman who has just returned
from a visit to Sherman county says
harvest there is well under way, the
heading being pretty well done and
threshing will begin next week. As
to the condition of crops, he says they
are much better than has generally
been supposed, and farmers will be
happily surprised in "ihe general
wheat yield of the county. He
estimates that, taking the county
over, the yield will be 10 bushels to the
acre, and since the acreage in cultiva
tion this season is much greater than
that of last year, he believes the out
put of wheat from Sherman will be as
great as it was In 1895. The quality
of the grain though is not quite up to
the standard. While much of it will
be an excellent grade of No. 2, there
will be but little No. 1 threshed. He
made a test of one field of fall wheat
by cutting out and threshing a yard
square, and on weighing the wheat
found that the field would average 40
bushels to the acre. This though was
anextiagood field, better than the
average of the country. Some of the
spring wheat, especially that sown
very late, will not be fit to cut, but all
the fall wheat and some early spring
grain is good.
added the old black government horse
at the Cascade Locks. It was old
Black's duty to pull away the loaded
boxes of earth from the derricks, and
after being hitched up in the morning
at his post of duty, he needed no fur
ther attention until noon. As soon as
the load was ready he would start at
first slowly, then as an impetus was
needed to run the cars along beyond
his beat, he would start on the trot,
slack up at the proper time, turn
around with an eye on the dump, then
start back at the right moment for the
return trip. Keeping this up with the
regularity of clock work until the noon
whistle, which welcome sound he knew
as well as any of the men. It was fun
sometimes to watch a new stable boy
attempt to "gee-haw" old Black while
on duty. No attention was paid what
ever to the fre9h commands, but it
behooved the commander to stand out
of the beaten path, or else risk being
run over. If the "lords of creation"
had done as good work on the locks as
this faithful old horse the Portland
boat would whistle at our wharves to
night. The Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. Cailouette, Druggist, Beavers
vllle, 111., says: "To Dr.Klng's New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the phy
sicians for miles about but of no avail,
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King's New Dis
covery in my store I sent for a bottle
and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and after us
ing three bottles was up and about
again. It is worth its weight in gold.

Scared Away byjt Gong.
A week ago some thirsty burglars
broke into the wine cellar of the Uma
tilla House and carried away several
bottles of liquor. The proprietors not
feeling disposed to supply drinkables
to unknown midnight customers, put
a new lock on the outside of the cellar
door, and a gong on the inside, con
nected with a mechanical appliance
that causes it to send forth enough
is noise to wake the city when the door
opened. Friday night about 10" o'clock
Fin Battle, the night clerk of the hotel,
and Nic Sinnott heard the gong sound,
and rushing down into the basement,
found the lock on the cellar door had
been broken and the door opened wide
enough to sound the gong. Evidently
the noise was too severe for the deli
cate nerves of the would-be robbers,
for they were no where to be seen
when Messrs. Battle and Sinnott
reached the basement, and an examina
tion of their tracks where they had
been getting away from the building
showed that- they had not stood on
their border of going, but had moved at
a 2:10 gait. .
Two Bears Killed by a GlrL
. A story comes from the Coquille, and
is vouched for as true, which eclipses
all other feats of feminine bear-hunters
says the Marehfleld Sun. Miss Rose,
of Randolph, is the heroine of the
story. She is a modest young lady,
and in her teens, and by no means ac
customed to slaying the monsters of
the forest, but on this occasion was
strolling in an unfrequented place in
the woods near home 'with a parlor
rifle and shooting rabbits, birds, etc.,
when suddenly came to her gaze a cub
near by. In a moment it dawned upon
Miss Rose to shoot the little fellow.
The crack of her rifle brought the ob
ject to the ground squalling, and then
to the astonishment of the huntress,
mother Drum appeared on the scene
and at once took part In the drama by
making a savage rush for Miss Rose,
who receded, at the same time firing
several shots at the encroaching ani
mal. A pet dog then took a hand In
the fray. This attracted the mother
bear's attention In another direction
until Miss Rose got in the fatal shot
and bruin measured her length on the
ground.

Most Buy In Portland.
An agreement has been entered into
between the transportation lines con
necting Portland and San Francisco,
to go into effect on and after August
1st, whereby f' eight rates or quantities
less than car load lots are to be ad
vanced 60 per cent. This means to the
small dealers that- they must buy of
Portland jobbers, for very few of them
buy in car load lots, and they cannot
compete with dealers who do and pay
an advance of 60 per cent freight.
This will serve as a sort of protective
tariff in favor of the Portland whole
salers, and a discriminatson against
the small dealers who do not buy in
large enough quantities to justify their
purchasing in San Francisco It is
also a fair illustration of the ability of
large capital to combine for mutual
benefit and to oppress the "small fry,

THE COMMON COVXCIL,.
Business Transacted by the City Fathers
at the Regular Meeting;.
The regular monthly meeting of the
common council of Dalles city was held
at the council chambers on August 3d,
Mayor Menefee presiding and the fol
lowing councilmen being present:
Nolan, Wood, Saltmarshe, Ross, Johns,
Kuck, Champlin and Clough.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
The committee on fire and water re
ported verbally thattn their judgment
there was no necessity of a fire plug at
the D. P. & A. N. warehouse, there
being a sufficient number of plugs
within reach of the building.
In the matter of theatre license, the
finance committee recommended tht
a special rate of $3 a night and $15 a
week be granted to the management of
the Vogt opera house. The reeom
mendation was adopted by the council
The monthly reports of the marshal,
recorder and treasurer were read and
placed on file.
The matter of garbege being thrown
in the streets was referred to the
marshal.
On motion the matter of purchasing
500 feet of extra fire hose was referred
to the committee on fire and water
with power to act.
On motion of Nolan, seconded by
Clough, the vote of the council was
ordered taken on the appointment of
W. H. Butts for marshal, resulting in
four for and four against, confirming
the appointment. The vote being a
tie, Mayor Menefee declared the ap
pointment confirmed. There being
some question as to the mayor's power
to cast the decidibg vote in the matter
of confirming an appointment, Mr.
Butts has not yet qualified, and the
matter will again come up when all
councilmen are present.

"No lover of horses can afford to
miss the Equescurricxlum at the Globe
Theatre this week. They will find a
most wonderful exhibition of animal
intelligence. There is not a dull mo
ment from the time the horses come
upon the stage until the curtain falls.

THE WILHOI . STAGE ROBBED.
Held Cp by Two Masked Highwaymen
Near Oregon City.
Monday afternoon the stage run
ning from Oregon City to Wilhoit
Springs was held up and robbed, 200
yards from the Mill creek bridge, a
few miles out from Oregon City. Bill
Mat toon held the reins of the four-
horseam, and as he rounded a turn
in the road, two masked men stepped
from the brush and commanded him to
stop. Two of the horses were fright
ened by the sudden appearance of the
men at the roadside, and they started
to run. The robbers promptly took
three shots at the team, bringing the
leaders down, each horse having a
front leg shattered, and having also a
shot in the back.
Of course, that stopped the stage,
and the robbers at once began, the
search for booty. They had pretty
thoroughly scared the driver, as well
as the passengers, and when they
called to all hands to "shell out and be
quick about it," all hands "shelled
out." The driver gave up his revolver
and a little coin, and the passengers,
Mr. and Mrs. Hidinger and daughter,
of Portland, and a Chinaman, deliver
ed their valuables, but the amount in
not reported. Then the robbers turned
to the baggage and went through that,
taking whatever they " found that
pleased them.
While the robbery was going on
another mail carrier came along, and
was driven away by the robbers. He
told two farmers whom he chanced to
meet what was going on, and they at
once went to the rescue, opening fire
on the robbers, who retired after an'
swerlng with several shots, taking
towards the mountains. At last ac
counts a deputy sheriff and posse were
in pursuit of the bandits.

At The Institute.
The state superintendent has ruled
that any person having received a first,
second or third grade county certifi
cate in one county shall not be granted
a second paper of the same grade in
any county in the Btate, and said cer
tificates are rood only In the county
where issued. A person . having re
ceived a third grade county certificate
and going into, another county to
teach, must pass the ex&minat,tor for
the nexthigher grade, namely a second
grade certificate.
Th is ruling Is very Important to
teachers. It means that they must
progress. It means more to be a
teacher than it did ten years ago, and
ten years hence the standard will be
still higher. The world is progressing
and the teacher must progress with it
or fall out of the ranks. The teachers
at the institute realize this fact, and
are working to reach the required
standard. Every day for nearly a
month, from twenty-four to forty-six
teachers have been working earnestly
to be worthy of their name. The pub
lic has shown a kindly interest during
the session, and the encouraging words
of the visitors have added no small
part to the value of the institute.
The following are the names of
teachers registered this week for the
first time: I. H. Hill, Florence Davis,
Hester Rusk, Maud Peabody, Nellie
Hudson, Chas. Elery, DollieG. Mosier,
Dafie E. Allaway and Kate Cooper.
Visitors present were Mrs. Dr.
Shackelford, Mrs. J. W. Lewis, Mrs.
Davis, Mrs. Gilbert; Misses Katie
Sargent, Emma Ehrck, May Elton,
Lizzie Schooling, Minnie Sandrock,
Mrs. A. Henderson and Miss Sandrock.

A Good Word For Wasco.
Unattaractive as are our bunchgrass
hills and sandy plains they have their
merits, among which are the produc
tion of fruits and vegetables that are
not surpassed anywhere on the coast.
Speaking of some of the products of
Wasco county the Oregonian say :
"Some very fine figs of large size and
excellent flavor, have been received
here from The Dalles, where they v ere
grown by Mr. Emll Schanno, fruit
commissioner, and are fully equal to
any figs received from California. The
country around The Dalles does not
strike one passing through on a train
as anything extraordinary; but it re
sembles a singed cat, in being better
than It looks. Cantaloupes of excellent
quality are being received from there,
peaches have been coming in for some
time. They raise early strawberries
there, tomatoes and fine eggplaDt, and
send many kind of early vegetal les to
this market. These products are equal
to those of California, and reach the
market in much fresher and better
conditio?i.
