The grain throughout the county is ripening very rapidly, and headers will be running everywhere . by the middle of next week. This is the O. R. & N. Co. pay day and most of the employees are feeling in a good humor, and are being greeted ' with the "glad hand." Farmers in the vicinity of Dufur aud Tygh Ridge have begun heading early grain and volunteer. The grain is pretty well filled, and will yield well. At a special meeting of the school board held yesterdad Chas. L. Schmidt was elected scool clerk to fill the va cancy caused by the d eath of Geo. P. Morgan. Geo.

Tbe bodies of the Indian woman and little girl who were drowned Wed nesday while crossing the Columbia near Seufert's were found 'yesterday - afternoon near the mouth of Fve-Mile. The recent hot weather has done . but little damage to growing crops, though it is thought some of the late grain has . been injured so that the berry will not be plump and heavy. Last evening J. P. O'Brien, general ..' superintendent of the O. R. & N. Co., and D. W. Campbell, chief train dis patcher, arrived in the city in car No. 2. They returned to Portland at 8:30 this morning. John Hanna, who was in from Boyd today, says crops are all looking well in that section, but the hot weather the first of the week caused some of the grain to shrivel, and when it is threshed it will not rate as No. 1.

N damage to ppeak of was done to the horses or wagon, but Pete Stadleman had his wrist quite severely cut. He was in the upper story of tbe ice house when the team started and jumped out of the window, catcbiog his wrist on a nail and tearing the flesh terribly. Dr. Hollister dress ed the wound, taking several stitches in it. An immense crop of wheat will be harvested this season, and it behooves farmers to prepare to take care of it after it is threshed. There is no assur ance that there will not be early fall rains, and farmers should take steps to protect their grain after thrashing and before it can be hauled to market. A - few grain sheds on every farm would afford the necessary pi otection. James Carnaby, who has been fruitrhf. p.lerlr at the O. K. & N. Crv 'a depot for a number of years, resigned his position and has bought out Rob- , inson & Co., who carried on a fruit and poultry business at tbe old stand of Seufert Bros., - on Second street Fred Clark has been promoted to the position recently held by Mr. Carnaby.

It consisted of peaches and plums and was shipped to Minneopolis. It is pleasing to Oregonians that the Oregon has been chosen as Commodore Watson '8 flagship in the campaign to bo waged against Spain. No better selection could have been made, for the Oregon is today the best ship in the navy. The weather for the past few days b as been exceptionally cool for July. During the evenings a wrap is needed while the days are most pleasant. We who have to stay at home and cannot go to the seaside or mountains duly appreciate tbe kindness of providence in being so considerate of us. The following is going the rounds of the press and contains more truth than poetry: "when a manloye9 sin he goes down; when he loves his wife he goes home; when he loves another man's wife he goes to the graveyard; wnen ne loves a gin tbey both go crazy."

Today E. M. Wiugate, who for the past four months has been city editor of the Times-Mountaineer, lays down the pencil, and will take a summer vacation.

M, Conkling, who recently accepted the position of assistant ca-bier in the First National bank there. The . fact that there are eighteen cases of yellow fever in tbe army in Cuba should not be consider ed alarming, considering there are 23,000 men in camp, that they are not acclimated and that sanitary regulat ion could be not strictly observed, it is a wonder there is not more sickness. Fred Floed, formsrly editor of the Roseburg Review, arrived here last night from Portland and has accepted a position on the Times; Mountaineer. For the present Mr. Floed will devote his attention to the weekly circulation of tbe paper, acd during his travels over the country will act as special correspondent to the Times-Mountain eer. The time of year has arrived when the thistles should' be attended to. During the past few years the pest has been dealt with, with untiring efforts, and tbis season the good results can be seen for there are not nearly so many as usual. However, now is the time to "wipe them off the face of the earth," - before they scatter their seeds broadcast. Tbe matter should be looked after immediately and not put off. for delays are dangerous The hot weather has a great ten dency to draw tbe nails from the side walks and leave them protruding above the boards. We have a very neat and attractive city and with a small out lay of energy our citizens and property owners could easily afford good walk ing within tbe city limits, it Is very annoying especially so to ladies to be dodging nails, while occasionally they come too thick and fast consequently a collision and some damage is done. Drive down the nails and tbe com munity at large will be thankful. Monday morning's issue of tbe reg ular weekly cartoon by ?. E. Dawson appeared as uual yesterday morning n Pease & May's window and at tracted unusual attention. . Uncle Sam says to little Alfonso, "Are you ready to accept my terms." The subject of the cartoon is cause and effect. Tbe first scene of the cause presents a Cuban prisoner chained in his dun geon, while the second is the Maine disaster. The effect represents the taking of Manila, the bombardment of Santiago, and the raising of the United, States flag ever the same. XOKtUWEST MOTES. Two youthful thieves, Gracia Vooth and R. L Bidwell, aged 10 years, have been arrested in Astoria for stealing carpenter tools. "Numerous pilfering? have been laid to their account, and they are accused of having carried ou a systematic system of thieving for some time. There is more inquiry at Salem for fruit suitable for eastern shipment than ever hefore. which leads groweis to believe good prices will he realized The state vf'-rui school is now with out a farmer, W.

Of tbis number 85,230 were enrolled in the public schools. During tbe year there were 3593 teachers employed in tbe public schools. The average salary paid teachers was $39.03 per month. The Inman Paulson company seem to consider the voyage of their raft to San Francisco a success, as they have the frame work of another already in the water and a good part of the lum ber that is to compose their second raft sawed and piled on the dock. ' Work on the new custom house in Portland is progressing slowly, and au effort is being made to secure the pas sage of an ordinance permitting the laying of a railroad track to the grounds to enable tbe contractors to get in stone and building material at tbe least expense of time and money.

Slavton. of Prineville, who spent the past two years at Johannes- burg, South Africa, has returned to Oresron. quite well satisfied that America is a good country iu which to live. Mr. Slavton was attracted to Africa by the allurements of the gold fields, and says ior big investments and gigantic schemes that country is all right,though when be left thf-re last May business was quite dull, tbe bottom having dropped out of the boom, aud transactions had settled down to normal state. Mr. Slayton stales that American products, such as Hour, lumber and some coarse grades of goods.are promt nent in Johannrsourg markets, and considerable American machinery is sold in the African mining? dirtricts There is, he says, a genernl belief in Africa that Pacific const fruits, are in ferior. and thus we r.re deprived of a good trade in that line that could be secured if thinners would exercise more care in packing. If our fruit? were put on the market in a shape to suit the trade, it would be but a short time until it would be in demand. Knronrage the Firemen. There is hardly a city in the state of equal size that has so well equipped fire department as 1 be Dalles, or so efficient firemen, and it is all import ant to property owners that the de partment shall renrtiin thus efficient. Espeicallj during the summer months, when a spark might cause a disas trous conaflsration, should tbe depart ment be at its best. The apparatus is alwavs in an excellent condition but the firemen lack familiarity in hand ling it. The Times-Mountaineer would suggest as an inducement to tbe firemen to become mo-e efficient, that a pur?e be hung by tbe property own ers each month for a competitive drill. Thus the firemen would be esieouarged by tbe good will shown by citizens, and through a drill evsry month where tbe competition would be brisk between all the companies, the men would become proficient in the use of their apparatruses. Launching of the Dulles City. An attempt was made Thursday to launch the steamer Dalles City which is being rebuilt at Supples'shipyard in Portland, but with little success. Everything was in readiness and when the word was given to cut the ropes, the axes fell and the stern gradually slid down the ways while tlit, how re mained stationery. This was caused by the weight being in the after part of the boat while the bow was com paratively free from weight. The steamer shifted to the port side and for a while it was thought she would toppie over, but work was immediately begun on her and she was placed in a secure position. No damage whatever was done to the steamer and in all probability she will be in readiness to be launched this evening, after which she will be taken to the Willamette Iron Works, where her boilers will be placed in position.

Fine Fruit Prospects. Emile Schanno, member of tbe state board of horticulture, bas re turned from a tour through portions of Gilliam county, where he had been on a tour of inspection of the orchards. He found the fruit prospects on Rock creek exceptionally good, and the quality of fruitfully up to the standard. The orchards are generally thrifty, and have no disease except scale in a few orchards. Mr. Schanno says Rock creek valley is one of the finest in Eastern Oregon. It is about twenty miles long, and con tains many fine farms. Tbe soil is very, productive, and there is an abundance of water for irrigating, produces immense crops of alfalfa, the meadows bi-ing cut twice every season. Were there any facilities for transpor tation, he says it would become a great fruit growing section. BUKN.
