It is estimated that the hop crop of
Oregon this year will be about 65,000
bale?. This however depends some
what upon the weather ,: as continued
rains will prevent picking, and will
cut down the aggregate at least one
half. In Willamette valley rain has put a
stop to hop picking and grain harvest,,
and should it continue a few days
longer will cause great loss to farmers.
So far neither hops nor grain has been
seriously damaged, but warm weather
will be necessary to save the crop.
Be not deceived! A cough, hoarse
ness or croup are not to be trifled with.

Walla Walla papers quote wheat at
76 cents there last Saturday, while it
was worth only 75 cents in The Dalles.
What Is the matter with Wasco county
wheat, anyway? Don't bnyers want it,
or do they get better freight rates from
Walla Walla than they do from The
Dalles?
Unexpectedly The Dalles has got
left again. The city had a candidate for
U. S. marshal, but the enterprising
people of Pendleton played the top
hand, and got' away with the "pot."
The Dalles jaust get a move on itself,
or It will get knocked out by its more
enterprising neighbors in business as
well as in politics.

Hon. W. H. Biggs returned yester
day from Wasco, and says grain in
Sherman county has not been material
ly damaged by the recent showers.
There was sufficient rain to stop head
ing and to prevent the operation of
combined harvesters, but grain that
was stacked did not get wet enough to
prevent its being threshed.
It doeg seem that transportation
com pan lei should be able now to give
a dollar a ton rate on wheat from The
Dalles to Portland. This would make
one and one-half cents a bushel more
pn every bushel of wheat raised in the
county or about $15,000 more that
would be retained among the farmers
of the county on this year's orop,

Work has so far advanced on the
new Catholic ehurcb that one can form
an idea of what appearance the struc
ture will present when completed. The
walls are finished, the roof on, and the
framework of the spire up. The
building impresses one with its
solidity and beauty of architectural
design, and cannot but be recognized
as one of the handsomest churches in
Oregon.
Reports from the farming sections
are rather more encouraging than they
were, a few days ago. The rain has
not been nearly so heavy back from
the river as it has been here, and in
most places the ground has been wet
only about half an inch. . This has put
a stop to heading, but in most places
where grain was stacked threshers
have not been stopped only during the
showers.
Since the hose team and the entire
fire department have gone to' consider
able expense in preparing for the
tournament that was to have been
held In The Dalles this week, it is
suggested that a benefit ball be given
to defray tne expenses, me idea is a
capital one, and should be carried out.
Everybody would patronize such a ball,
and the department could thereby
make enougn money to pay all ex
penses:
When ' the rate of $1.50 a ton on
wheat to Portland is compared with
the old rates of a few yhars ago, it
seems like a considerable reduction
and a wonderful saving to farmers, but
if It were reduced to $1 a ton, it would
be a big thing for the farmers this
year, .when they have an opportunity
to reap a profit after many years of
loss. The farmers do not ask' trans
portation companies to lose money
while handling their products, they I
should be asked.
. The Times-Mountaineer has been
asked if settlers can go on to the
forest reserve and cut timber for their
on use or commercial purposes. Un
der the rulings of the land department
we do not believe they can without
laying themselves liable to prosecu
tion. Foro-t reserves were established
for tbo purpose of protecting the lim
ber, and it is not presumable that the
department would permit settlers to go
thereon and cut timber even for their
own use. Possibly a settler residing
within the reserve would be allowed
to cut timber on government land for
his own use, but settlers living outside
the reserve would certainly bo ex
cluded. Advices from New York regarding
fruit shipments from The Dalles, are
not encouraging so far as prices are
concerned, but as to quality and style
of packing are. indeed complimentary.
They say the fruit shipped by Judge
Bennett, W. H. Tayior and Marshal
Hill is the best received in New York
this year, and was packed in better
shape than fruit received from any.
other sectlou In the United States.
This will be of little benefit to Dalles
fruit raisers this season, but it is like
laying up treasures in heaven, it will
add somewhat to the price of their
shipments in future years, that if,
Dalles fruit will be In demand and will
command the top price.

A SOUND EXPLANATION.
Confjressmrn Lewis Advance Idea About
Wheat and Silver.
Congressman James Hamilton Lewis
was asked by a Post-Intelligencer re
porter recently if it was not his view
the present disparity be. ween wheat
and silver wheat so high an3 silver
so low had eliminated the silver
question as a campaign issue. In an
swer he said: -r
"The Ohicago Tribune sent a gentle
man to me with that question. I will
answer you as I did him, that wheat
and silver remain together under nor
mal conditions, simply upon the theory
that the poor purchasing bread
purchase the more - because of the
more money they have. Silver being
in small denominations Is the money
for the poor. Wheat has risen because
of the failure of ail crops in Europe
and Asia; silver baa fallen because
Japan, owing $150,000,000, has prom
ised to pay in gold silver being denied
use and wheat being given increased
use. Should the conditions be re
versed, a demand for silver suddenly
arise, because of the depletion of the
Silver mines, and an overtiux of wheat
should occur all over the country, we
would have silver high aud wheat low
"The conditiou is just as thojgh Se
attle were consumed by Ore. as it was
in 1839. Men who would have spent
money for the ordinary wants of life
turned It at once to the purchase of
lumber. Lumber would then, as it did
in 1889, go to $15 per thousand in
many instances, because of the ex
cessive demand, while brick would go
to $12 and $15, though normally worth
but $4. No one would insist that such
conditions showed the relative market
value of bricks to lumber, yet I insist
it is just as fair to measure bricks with
lumber, as it is to measure wheat with
silver. The demand for money will
remain the issue, with prices for all
things increased 100 per cent by the
Dingley bill, and that more money
will be needed to make all purchases.

Cattle Killed by Lightning.
On Monday evening eiirht head of
cattle belonging to W. J. Edwards
wore killed by lightning in his pasture
about one mile from the town of May
ville, and eight miles from Foasil.
Seven head of the cattle, four cows
and three calves, were found lying
dead together, one in front of the
other, alongside the barb wire fence
that encloses the field. They had
evidently been walkiug in single file
as close to the fence as they coult get
when the thunderbolt struck them.
Half a mile distant, one calf was found
dead alone, also close to the fence.
There were no outward marks on the
cattle to indicate the cause of death,
but for nearly a mile the fence showed
the lightning's course, the wire being
twisted and many of the posts being
shattered and pulled out of the ground.

John Parrot t Write From Skaguay Con
cerning the Trip to Klondike.
Under date of August 27, John
Parrott, who went up on the first trip
of the Elder, writes from Skaguay that
th'.-re Is an awful blockade at that
place, miners being unable to get
transportation for thtir supplies across
jthe pass to the head of navigation on
Yukon. The first trouble encountered
by the miners, he says, was a lack of
horses to carry their provisions over,
but that has been obviated, there be
ing more horses than can travel over
the trails, and this has caused a block
ade, the trail being so narrow that
pack trains going in and coining out
lose much time pissing each other
when they meet. Often horses are
crowded off the trail over bluffs, and
are .hurled down the mountain with
their loads lo places where it Is impos
sible to rescue them.
"Three weeks ago," Mr. Parrott says,
'Skaguay was a little city of about 300
tents, but now has over 100 houses and
a population of several thousand.
Nineteen ships bavo landed here since
the 7th of August, and have dis
charged their cargoes and passengers
in the city.
"Provisions are 'very cheap in Skag
uay, flour being 75 cents a sack, bread
25 cents a loaf, beef 25 cents a pound,
bacon 6 cents and dried fruit from 6 to
8 cents.
"There are a great many miners
here who are stranded, who cannot get
across the pass to Dawson City, and
they are compelled to sell their outfits
for what they can get. It is evident
that not one in fifty who are here will
be able to reach Klondike this s?ason."
Mr. Parrott says he and Dr. Sidall
expected to leave Skaguay on August
30th, and to reach lake Linderman by
September 5th. There they were to
embark in a boat with their supplies
and float down the lakes and rivers to
Dawson City. Tbey had joined a party
of twelve to cross the pass and go down
the rivers. Among their party ere
several ladies, and all were confident
they would reach Dawson before severe
weather sets in.

Why We Lose Trade.
Some persons wonder why it is that
the wheat of Klickitat county goes to
Kufus and Biggs instead of coming to
The Dalles, and why it is that the
merchants of The Dalles are not re
ceiving the trade of the farmers on the
north side of the river which they at
one time had. The ' explanation is
simple, and is only a question cf the
difference in the price of ferriage here
and at points further up the river.
Here the ferriage on a four-horse team
coming, over loaded is $1.25 and 75
cents is charged for returning empty,
while at Rufus or Biggs it is .o cents
for coming across loaded and 50 cents
for returning', making a difference in
favor of Biggs and Rufus of 75 cents
on the round trip. With ferriage the
same here as it is ait points up the
river, the bulk of the wheat of Klicki
tat county would come here, and the
wheat haulers would make the majority
of their purchases of supplies with
Dalles merchants, but they will not
come here and pay more for getting
across the rive with their wheat so
long as the price of wheat is the same
at Biggs and Rufus as it is here. It
would not be a bad investment for
Dalies merchants to subsidize the ferry
'during the wheat season and make up
tne difference between ferriage here
and at upriver points.

MT Joy Uo With Then.
A wedding party assembled at the
residence of Mr, and Mrs. S. M. Davis,
in Thompson's addition, last Saturday
event ne to witness the marriage of Mr.
Harry C. Davis and Miss Marion F.
Kennedy. After Justice J. M. Filloon
had pronounced them man and wife,
the guests were invited to an elegant
wedding supper, when all present ex
tended congratulations to the happy
pair. Mr. and Mrs. Davis go to Yakima
for a short visit, after which they will
return to Mr. Davis' farm on Five-Mile
to reside permanently.
Captain Johnston, of the ferry boat,
informs us that we were misinformed
yesterday as to the ferriage charged
on his boat. That instead of being
$1.25 it is $1 for a team loaded with
wheat. He claims the reason why
Klickitat wheat does not come here is
on account of tne condition or the
roads betweeo the river and the wheat
mixing section. ' This is a matter the
Commercial Club mlirht well consider,
and if a few hundred dollars expended
on the roads will bring the wheat here,
let it be expended.
BIG DEMAND FOR BI.ANKKTs
Salem and Waterloo M:lU Cannot Fill
Orders.
The need of more raanuftctnring ii.
Oregon is emphasized by the demands
made upon the few woolen mills there
are In the state for blankets aud wool
ens to supply the Alaskan trado ai
present. So long as the rush continue;
to Alaska, and it shows uo signs ol
abating soon, there will be a brisk de
mand for heavy wooleu good. If
Oregon factories are unable to 8ujpl
the demand it will be supplied from
the Eist, and Oregon wool will !
shipped across the continent, nun i
factured into blankets and cloth, tho:
shipped back to our wholesalers to Ii:
their orders. This should not be. b n
it will not change until some enter
prising capitalists take it into th'i
hetds to enter into manufacturing a
different favored localities in the stite.
While the demand for such gooJs i
brisk, it would be a fortunate time for
The Dalles, which handles from sevn
to eight million pounds of wool an
nually, to consider the advisability of
entering Into woolen mtnufacturin.
A Salem paper spsakingof the SrUk
demand for woolens savs tlv mill at
that place is running on fu I time,
making goods to fill the or.W con
tinually crowding in upon tha in n la
ment. The factory is now working
principally upon blankets and mack
inaws, although some cloth is also
made. The demand for blankets and
macklnaws Is such that it Is impos
sible to supply the demand, the Alaska
trade having suddenly caused an un
precedented spurt to this part of the
business, and the prospects are that
the pressure will continue for some
years at least.
When the fabulous stories of the dis
coveries of gold in the Klondike region
were first made known on the coast,
every jobbing house dealing in the
goods manufactured in woolen mills
Imoortuned the manufacturers to ac
cept orders from them, at prices above
the market quotations, and many or
ders were refused by the Salem factory,
as it was impossible to make the
contracts and deliver the zoods, the
capacity of the mill l.eing too small
for the demand. The rush has now
continued for some time and shows
little it any abatement, and there is
no trouble about securing orders for
the output of the mill. . -
The same condition prevails at the
Waterloo mill of. this company, and.
as the principal demand seems to be
for blankets, that mill has for some
time made only those staples, and is
now and will probably for some time to
come, make blanket) only.
Thomas B. Kay, Eastern representa
tive of the company, Is still in -New
York, but he is expected to return to
Oregon before long, as the firm has de
cided not to take orders for goods in
that section of the country at present,
the capacity of the plant being taxed
by the effort to fill the Pacific coast
demand.

The Dulles Commission Co. is in
receipt of advices from fruit sales iu
New York which is very flattering to
Dalles fruit raisers, ' and compared
with prices received for ' shipments
from other parts of this state and
Washington show the fruit from here
commanded the highest price of any.

The last car mentioned was shipped
by the Commission Co., and it will be
seen that The Dalles Italians brought
7 cents above the best price realized
from other points. Hungarians 15 cents
and Silvers 9 cents in advance of all
others. So far this season the Com

turns for srrowers of any firm shipping
from The Dalles.

'Love in a hop yard" will likely be
the title of a story to be written by a
Polk county novelist some future date.
A romance to furnish material for such
a story occurred at Independence a ftw
days ago. A family with two bewitch
ing daughters aged 14 and 15 years re
cently left the poetical valley of Sweet
Home to pick hops near Independence.
Two youths aged 18 and 20 accompanied
them, and the young folks while en
gaged in the hop yards became en
gaged to marry. They planned an
elopement, having determined to cross
the mountains Into Eastern Oregon,
where the boys were to herd sheep,
wniie tne gins were to live in camps
and cook their food. They started out
for the land of joy, but an irate pa got
wind of the scheme, and spoiled it all
by having the youths arrested, and
tnreatens senaing tne gins to the re
form school and the boys to the peni
tentiary.
Driven Mad by Klondike Terrors.
The wife of J. J. Carscadden, a Port
land restaurant keeper who went north
on the first trip of the Elder, is in a
most pitiful condition. When Mr.
Carscadden left for Klondike be left
his wife in charge of his restaurant
business, expecting to return some day j
rich, and find his wife and by await
ing his return to welcome him borne,
but In this the gold hunter will be
disappointed. Mrs. Carscadden has
become so wrought up over the horrors
of the long journey to Yukon that her
husband is making, and has so worried
over the hardships he is enduring that
she has become a raving maniac and
has been sent tq the asylum at Salem,
the boy is being cared for by friends
and the restaurant has gone into the
hands of strangers. It will bs many
months before Mr. Carsoadden learns
of his misfortune, and possibly before
word reaches him bis wife will be
dead.
