H. H.. Biddell, Miss Enright, Mrs.

and Miss Eliza Curl, both of Crook
county, were married at the Perkins
hotel parlors in - Portland Mr. and
Mrs. Jassie arrived here by train last
evening and will leave in a few days
for their home in Crook county.
Why would it not be well for the
citizens of The Dalles to get street
lights put in during the fair? Those
of us who live here can manage to
grope around in the dark of nights,
but wheD we invite visitors from
abroad we should give them light.
Ex-State Senator Singleton, of Rosa
burg, was in the city the other day,
the first time he had visited The Dalles
since 1852. He was much surprised to
see a city of 5000 inhabitants having
grown up here at a place that ia his
memory was a wilderness and an ob
scure trading point when he last
visited it.
IdHce
lers. -A sprinkling wagon could eep
the road wet for several miles over the
worst places. It might be well for the
county court to consider the scheme,
Thousands of bushels of Klickitat
countv wheat are coiner ut Lyl for
shipment. This is owing to the bid
condition of the roads le;i-'linsr from
ohe river north and to the fact that
wheat is as high or higher at Lyle
The former obstacle to bringing wheat
to The Dalles could be' overcome by f
small outlay. Why not the Com
mercial club take the matter up and
start a move to have all roads leading
into the city put into firstclass reralr?
The low freight rates The Dalles
gets is the pnnciplnl secret of its suc
cess as a commercial center, as on this
account merchants are enabled to of
fer prices that cannot be had at any
other point in the interior, and it is all
important that such rates or lower be
maintained. Until The Dalles can
secure some sort of manutrcturing in
dustries to draw trade and population,
is must give low freight raws in order
to attract trade from abroad.
Wasco county farmers have finished
threshing, and now all the crop of
1897 is out of danger of damage
from rains. It is impossible to get a
correct estimate of the number of
bushels of wheat harvested 'in the
county, but sufficient is known to
make safe the statement that the
county will hive 1,000.000 bushels ff
wheat to market this year. Not to ex
ceed one-third of the wheat has yt
been brought to the warehouses, ind
hardly one tenth of it has been sold.

second and Union county third. For
the best single farm exhibit, Alex La-

countv. second, and Mrs. F. A. Wolfe
of Polk county, third.
aires many to believe that' 75 to 80
cents may yet ba offered for wheat,
though these expectations are only
speculative.
Today a committee has been solicit
ing subscriptions to a fund for improv
ing the road between The Dalles and
(Joldendale and has met with excellent
success. Business men generally have
subscribed liberally, and it is an as
sured fact that the road will be im
proved. The request of the hook and ladder
company for a new truck is indeed
reasonable, and should meet with
favor from the council. A truck can
be had in Portland for about $400 and
that amount might easily be saved in
case of fire by having improved appa
ratus.
The Booth-Kelly Lumber Company,

Tbe Oregon Horae Uiehalls Lowered the
World' Two Mile facing Kecord
On the race track at the state fair
grounds last Wednesday Frank
Frazier, of Pendleton, drove his horse
Chehalis two miles in 4:19i, lowering
the world's record 3k seconds, in the
presence of 10,000 people. Ihe report
of tho wonderful race as given by the
Oregonian is as follows:
Chchalis, driven by his owner, Frank
Frazier, appeared on the track with
his full brother, Del JNorte, who nas u
record of 2:03. Both horses were loud
ly cheered. After scoring through
the stretch a few times, Del Norte
withdrew. After scoring once, Frazier
announced that he was ready to start,
and hundreds of watches were held in
readiness to recording bis attempt to
make a world's record.

A. O. V. W. CL8SIF1ED ASSESSMENT.
It Ik Proving- a Benefit In the .lariMllotion
of Oregon.
The new plan of the A. O. U. W.
adopted by the last session of tbe
grand lodge of Oregon is evidently
working well. Forty-six lodge- show !
an increase for beptember. three of
them having a net increase of over 25
percentsince July. Thegrand lecturer
reports 27 applications received at
Marshfield. Assessments are levied
only when necessary to pay death
losses, but in no event cm more than
13 be levied in one year. The shortage
if there be any being made up from
the supremo lodge relief fund. The
classified and graded plans arc very
different, though many seem to think
them tbe same. The graded plan fixes
a rate of entrance into the order which
remains the same throughout, life.
The effect is. that men who are taken
in at a low rate when young do not
pay their proportion of the cost as they
grow older, and the order is compelled
to levy a continually increasing num
ber of assessments as it grows older.
A graded assessment order and one
starting on the classified plan at the
same time would require the same
amount of money to pay their death
losses. After 25 years the amount re
quired would be about double the
death rate having also doubled. The
graded plan would levy two assess
ments at $1.20 each or $2.40; and tbe
classified plan would levy one assess
ment at $2 40. To members already
in these organizations the results
would be tbe same, but to tbe young J
man seeking the best order to join, the
classified plan still offers one assess
ment at $1.20 at his age, whereas the
graded plan asks of him two assess
ments ot $1.20 each or $2.40. It can
readily be seen which order he would
join. The effect will be that as they
grow older the graded orders will be
come old men's orders, while the class
ified orders will remain the protection
of men of all ages..

ing Returns.
Th6 Orange Judd Farmer in the
final estimate of the year's -crop,' says
that figures based on actual threshing
returns indicate a total yield of 589,000,-
000 bushels, of which 373,530,000 bush
els is winter, and 215,470,000 bushels
spring wheat. Wifh the exception of
Illinois and Missouri, the winter wheat
yield represents the full capacity of
the soil. The spring wheat yield, in
Minnesota and the Dakotas has proved
a disappointment, the aggregate being
only 129,000,030 bushels. The shortage
there is in a measure counterbalenced
by the good yield in Nebraska, Oregon
and Washington. '
The report says the corn crop is ex-
edingljt-dUsappointing and an out
side estimate is 1,750,000,000 bushels.
Drouth during the past two months re
duced the average condition from 82.3 a
month ago to 78.9 on October 1st. An
average oats yield of 28.7 bushels per
acre suggests a crop of 814,000,000
bushels, 100,000,000 more than last
year.
Punning the Right Course.
Eastern Oregon fruit raisers who de
pended on the market for green fruit
this year have realized but little on
their products, the markets having
been so changeable and so well sup
plied from other localities that ship
ments generally have been most un
satisfactory. A few of the growers an
ticipated this in advance, and devised
plans for caring for their product with
out putting it on the market in a green
state. Among this number is Dr. G.
C. Sanders, whose farm is on Three
Mile, and he most likely will get bet
ter returns than those who have de
pended on marketing their fruits
green. He has dried most of the out
put from his orchard, and for ihe past
five weeks has kept, his. dryer going
day and night; As a result he now baa
12 tons of-drted-r-peaehoa -amiptumsr
which he can hold, without loss until
the markets will justify his offering
them for sale. Were this method
adopted by mora fruit raisers, and a
tystem of canneries also established,
fruit raising would become a certain
and much more profitable business.
