.irhertow of Moro has enjoyed some
thing of a building boom- this season.

pieces are not any too plentiful in
that section, owing to the fact that
little wheat and no wool has been
sold.
Wasco county has produced more
melons this season than Portland can
consume, and local dealers in The
9sw Dalles have received instructions to
TTot make any more shipments at pres-
sent. This is pretty good evidence of
the productiveness of the soil and cli
mate of Wasco county, and refutes the
statements of some of our Portland
friends that the country east of the
Cascades is a barren waste. '
A car load of fruit is shipped east
each day by the Commission company,
but this is by no means the extent of
daily fruit shipments from The Dalles.
Local shipments both east and west
amount to nearly a car load. To form
an idea of the amount of fruit that is
going to local points one wants to call
at the express office some evening and
see the stacks of fruit boxes that are
there, billed for Portland, the Sound,
Spokane. Butte and numerous other
points. .

stating that the Sadie B had been
taken through the canal at Cascades to
the lower river. The vessel was taken
through the lock gate and into the
basin between that and the lower
guard gate, but owing to a heavy east
wind prevailing at the time it was

torily, and some repairs are necessary
before the gate can be operated successfully.

at least the last one in which the ef

the band can secure another leader
so that the concerts may be continued.

40 bushels of wheat por acre, this year

A Model Fruit Farm.
A gentleman who visited Judge
Bennett's fruit farm last Saturday says
there is more activity exhibited there
than he supposed there was in all the
orahards in the state, and describes
the fruit picking as one of the prettiest
sights he has ever seen. The prune
trees are each- loaded with about 300
pounds of choice fruit, and to pick
and pack it requires tho labor of 27
people. Fifteen of these are ladles
engaged in packing and succeed in j
puttingup from twenty to thirty boxes
each during the day. Then there are
nine men picking, two hauling and ono
making boxes. - The orchard through
out is well laden with fruit, though the
yield is hardly up to the average, but
the quality is good, and the prunes
command a fair price in the markets,

An Able Paper Read Before the Claelta-
ma County Iustltnte, by Professor
lake of Antelope.
That teacher who can hold the more
advanced pupils until the close of the
term or year makes a better showing
than is possible when theso drop out
before that time, and thereby creates
an impression in the public mind that
he is successful in his work. This adds
to his reputation, and paves the way to
more important positions at better pay,
Marked success In any enterprise is
profitable. Plan for this when you lay
out your work, and you will render
better service than ever before, how
ever successful you may have been in
the past. If your school cannot be the
leading one in the county in point of
numbers, try to make it the best in
quality of instruction. Strive to im
plant in the imadi of your patrons
that thoir district should be known as
one where the public school is the
pride of all. Keep the big boys and
and girls witfTyou till they have ac
complished all that the school asks of
them; until the task they have entered
upon is completed. Do not open
school with all the older pupils in the
district enrolled, and close it with few
of thorn in attendance. If you do,
there is something wrong: and that
something will prove a heavy drag,
and retard your advancement in the
profession.
"But how," you ask, "am I to keep
the big boys and girls?" They are
the very ones who are most apt to drop
out, because their time is worth some
thing ati homo. "True, but you must
make their time worth more at school.
It is only natural that they should
spend their time where it pays them
best; and, if the teacher cannot con
vince his patrons that tho time of their
children, including the big boys and
girls, i9 worth moro to them in school
than elsewhere, with rare exceptions,
he owes it to the public and to himself
to quit the schoolrooom at once and
forever.
Try this plan; lay out or adopt a
regular course of study, to be duly
sanctioned by your board of directors
and i our county superintendent, and
make it known to each one of our
pupils that no one can be regarded as
having finished school in your district
until the course of study decided on
has been completed, and a satisfactory
final examination passed in all the
branches it includes. In other words,
aim at something definite. Then your
big boys and girls will soon realize
that they are to arrive ' at some fixed
point as being tho end of tho journey,
when they can be more easily induced
to continue to that end. Present the
matter in such a manner as to impress
upon your pupils that a certain stigma
attaches, in the minds of people gen
erally, to a boy or girl who having the
opportunity, fails o complete in a
creditable manner the course of study
laid down in the district where the
common school education is received.
' Public graduating exercises, and the
awarding of diplomas at the end of the
term or year, are valuable auxiliaries
to a regular course of study. With a
combination of all these as a leyerage
on school officers and pupils, an en
thusiastic teacher should have no
trouble in maintaining an excellent
school In any district In this county.
Other counties In Oregon are operat
ing on this plan, and It Is my earnest
desire that this couuty shall not
be behind in this important work.
In some districts it may be thought
best for each -pupil to pay for the di
ploma on receiving it, while in others
it may be preferable to meet this ex
pense out of the public money. In
either ca3e, if diplomas are to be
awarded, that fact should be made
known to the entire school early in
the season, that the pupils may be en
couraged to do their very best from the
beginning. H. G. Lake.
kinds. It is a trifle early for vege
tables, but considerable of a showing
is made in that line.
A Persistent Spider.
In a glass cone at Parkin's barber
shop is a spider that furnishes an ex
ample of persistence that might well
be emulated by human beings who are
discouraged by failures. Some three
weeks ago Mr. Parkins confined a
largo black spider in a cone-shaped
glass about four inches high. For sev
eral days the spider deyoted his ener
gies to attempting to escape from his
confinement by climbing up the sides
of the glass, but failing in this, he set
weaving a web to form a ladder by
which he might climb to the top. Day
after day he has been noticod spinning
his web backward and forth across the
glass until now he has it well up,
so that he can reach to within
half an inch of the top, and will soon
bee able to reach the freedom of the
outside world. During his confinement
tho spider has diminished about one
third in size, and has faded from a
dark black to a light brown in color,
but his loss of flesh has cot lessened
bis energy and he is laboring man
fully to gain his liberty.

Tom Watson's Wife.
A romatic story is told of the wife
of tbomas E. Watson, populist nominee'
for vice-president. After one of the
battles of our civil war a richly dressed
baby was found among the dead and
wounded. No parents came to claim
the child. They say that father and
mother had perished in tho strife.
It was not known whether they' were
on the Northern or the Sotithern side.
But a Southern soldier and his wife
took the baby they had found and
cared for it as their own. The years
passed and tho little girl grew to be a
handsome and cultivated lady. Then
young Tom Watson, farmer and lawyer,
married her and they have lived hap
pily ever since.

How Human Hair Is Prepared in Pari
for Export and Home Use.
From an industrial and artistic point
of view, says the Annales Industrie-lies.
Paris is the center of the line manu
facture of prepared human hair. Of
course, the reference here is to woman's
hair, for man's hair is worthless for
any industrial purpose. Aside from
the hovises that macufactare exclusive
ly for the export trade, the city num
bers about two thousand hairdressers
and five thousand workmen, about half
of whom are engaged in the manufac
ture properly so callod. The source of
supply of the hair may be divided into
three oategories. The hair of the first
category is furnished by foreign coun
tries, India and China being the
largest suppliers. This hair is exclu
sively black and gray, and comes in
boxes, carefully packed. In addition
to these countries, Italy, Spain, Uer
Dany and Russia supply small quanti
ties. The hair from Iudia and China
undergoes quite a lengthy preparation.
It is first matched, sorted and combed,
and then immersed in a solution of
soft soap and carbonate of soda, in
order to scour it. Upon coming from
this bath it is united root end to root
end and formed into locks that are tied
near the roots. It yet remains to
render the hair thia and flexible. To
this effect it is first placed in earthen
pans filled with chlorureted water and
water mixed with hydrochloric acid,
which renders it thin and decolorizes
it. Then it is immersed in a solution
of soft soap and chlorate of potash, in
order to render it less brittle. Final
ly, a definite color and shade are given
it.
A light or blonde shade is obtained
with oxygenated water or a saturated
solution of carbonate of potash. To
dye it black it is boiled for a few hours
in a bath prepared with a decoction of
nutgalls or Campeachy wood, in which
sulphate of iron is dissolved and into
which a little sumac is put, in order to
give it a luster and remove the bluish
tint peculiar to the hair of the dead.
Finally, it is bleached by immersing it
in several baths of oxygenated water
to which a few drops of ammonia have
been added. Thus prepared, the
Chinese or Hindoo hair is sold to the
hair dressers, who work it to their
fancy, and afterward sell it at more or
less moderate prices. The finest hair,
forming the second category, is that of
France, and comprises a variety of
shades exceeding a hundred. The most
beautiful is furnished by Limousin,
Brittany, Normandy and lieauce. Some
lots are derived from young ladies'
boarding schools and from convents.
All this is collected by traveling men
called cutters, who make their circuit
toward spring, and visit the villages to
gather their crop. In some localities
of Brittany and Auvcrgne, on certain
market days, tho damsels who desire to
sell their head of hair get up on a cask,
undo their hair and allow it to fall
over their shoulders. An auction soon
begins, and every lot, as soon as cut, is
delivered to the highest bidder for spot
cash. This product docs not pass into
the bath, but is simply combed and
then scoured with bnckwheat flour.
Finally, the third category comprises
hair (which, it must be confessed, is
classed among the most esteemed) de
rived from the sorting of combings col
lected by rag-pickers, who stuff It into
bags just as they find it, soiled by dust,
felted by water, and adhering to the
sweepings of houses, and sell it to
small manufacturers, who undertake
to utilize it.

PASSED TUltOUGU THE LOCKS.
The Sadie It. and Two Scows Passed the
Big Gates.
On Thursday, September 3d, the big
gates of the Cascade locks were thrown
open and the little steamer Sadie B.
and two scows were permitted to float
down through the canal to the lower
river. The gates worked admirably,
not a hitch occuring to uheck the pro.
gress and everything proved to be in
perfect order.. There was no par
tioular demonstration or celebration
of the eve at, though about all the
residents of Cascade Locks were out
to see the passage. The hydraulic
machinery tbat .operates the gated
proved to be adequate for the work
they are intended to perform, and
caused the ponderous gates to swing
around like toys.
From tho experiment made Thurs.
day it is evident that the work thus far
completed is in, every way up to the
standard, aud has boen constructed in
accordance with the specifications of
the contract. It is the purpose of the
contractors to get a dredger from Port"
land to dredge out the lower bulkhead,
and the Sadie B and scows were taken
to the lower river to assist in that work.

Property has never been so cheap as
it is now in The Dalles. Stagnated
conditions of business on account of
the unsettled financial policy of the
government is mainly the cause. The
signs of the times point plainly to
better times. Political i questions
secriea, the locks opened and a gen
eral feeling of oon'fidence restored, an
ora of prosperity may be expected. I
have never had property Hated so

The Besnlt or Whirlwinds In the Atmos
phero Par Above tho Earth.
The fact that hail is formed at an
indefinite but, in most cases, a great
height above the surface of the earth,
and that it Is commonly precipitated
when storms are raging, has prevented
any direct observation of the process of
freezing the vapor of the atmosphere
into ice pellets or large masses, and
what has been decided regarding the
phenomena of hailstorms is almost
wholly the work of theory and logic.
Nevertheless some points are pretty
clearly established.
In the first place, haU is the result,
as a rule, of whirling or tornado-like
storms. There may be no whirling on
the surface of the earth but, according
to the Cleveland Leader, it seems cer
tain that in the higher regions of the
air, where hail is formed, there is al
ways an atmospheric disturbance re
sembling what is commonly called a
cyclone when it sweeps the ground. A
curious indication of the soundness of
this conclusion was to be noted the
other afternoon, when the storm which
tvrought such havoo with skylights
had passed by. Out over the lake
(here was a great mass of cloud, very
high and dark, which had the form of
an oval race track of enormous propor
tions. It might easilv have been fiftv

that the nucleus of a large hailstone is
usually a bit of snow or snow-like ice,
which falls from the snow strata, or

HOOKED A BEE MARTEN

A strange thing happened to me
when I was trout fishing last year np
in northern New York," said Andrew

Washington Star man. "The fish were
very wary, the stream was narrow, and
the pools were but lightly bordered
with bashes or cover of any kind, con
sequently when I would reach a prom
ising looking spot I would get as far
from the bank as possible, and at the
same time be able to drop my fly over
in me water, x nad followed this plan
with poor success, getting only one or
two strikes in as man v hours
denly my line began to run out with a
whirr. " No tront had ever carried off a
fly for me in such a way before, and I
was nonplussed, but in a moment I saw
tnat it was not a fish that was making
my reel sing. Rising from the surface
of the stream and flvinc abnw it .

as I cast it over the bank, and he was
making away with it Tho D
had nearly all my line out, and not
caring to lose it,I began to play him as I
would play a fish. He struggled gamely,
tew yon, out the hook had caught in
his beak and held him firmly. At last,
after a full hour of fighting, the bird
