Wool Hay Show an Upward Tendency
Soon. .
The wool market has been slightly
off tbe past few days, but the outlook
for better prices later on is rather en.
couraging. The last price current
putout by the Chicago Wool. Exchange
and sent to their representative in The
Dalles says:
Market values remain about the
same as last reported by our weekly
Price Current. Local dealers in all
sections of the country are holding
wools firmly, In many cases one or two
cents a pound above buyers' views.
While Montana, Utah and Wyoming
wools have been largely absorbed by
Chicago and Eastern markets; Oregon,
Colorado and Western Idaho still re
fuse to let their wool go at ruling
prices. If the present blockade be
tween buyer and seller continues for
thirty days, we believe values will be
advanced in all markets, consumers
being compelled to meet tbe upward
tendency in prloes. The great short
age in fine and fii e medium staple
wools abroad is one of the great factors
in the present wool situation.
Country merchants -are compara
tively bare of goods, while on the other
hand, the consuming power of the
United States have more money at
their command than for yearr, conse?
quently will undoubtedly be large
purchasers, of goods. We therefore
predict a radical change in the value
of wool to a higher range pf prices.

Senator Teller, of Colorado, in
speech at Lewiston, Idaho, a few days

I shall be prepared at all times to
support your senators and members in
all laduabl and proper efforts to open
the Col-ibia river to the free trans
portation of the grain that you grow in
this country, i Deueve in rivers my
self. I believe in railroads; but I be
lieve after all, the greatest thing for a
community Is cheap transportation by
water. And 1 am told that you pay
now three or four times as much to
carry your wheat to the sea as do the
people of Chicago who live twice as
far from it as you do, because they
have the great lakes and the Erie
canal. When you have opened this
river so that your boats may go from
here to the sea,your freight will not be
14 cents a bushel; it ought not to ex
ceed 3 or 4 cents. I probably should
have-voted for every appropriation that
should be sugjrefted by your represen
tatives if I had not seen the river, but
I shall vote for it understanding and
with greater zeal now knowing that
you have such a great grain belt along
these rivers and so much to be trans
ported when the river is made
navigable to tbe sea."

Model Frnlt Farm.
W. H. ?utts and IX S, Dufur, while
?n a business trip this morning, stop
ped at the farm of W. H. Taylor In dry
hollow and were shown something
about tbe fruit industry from a practi
cal standpoint. Mr. Taylor has 20
people engaged at the present time
packing prunes, grown in b ow.n or-,
chard, which are shipped daily to tbe
Qhicago and other Eastern markets.
He has an orchard of about 40 acres of
all varieties and states that be wiU
have in the neighborhood of 8 fr
prnpg, alp.ne, besides what other fruit
he has already sold and that which
will be ready for the markets later on.
It will be well worth the time of any
one who desire? to know what this
country is good for to take the time to
go and see Mr. Taylor's fruit growing
and packing establishment, as that
genial gentleman is only too glad to
show any one what be is doing, aqd a
the, same time U capable of explaining
al the little details of this future great
industry of this section of the country.

TBE CROP OCTLOOa.
Regular Report of the Government Crop
and Weather Bureau.
Beemer S. Pague, section director,
Portland, Oregon, sends us his regular
report regarding the crop outlook from
which wc glean the following factR
In Western Oregon reports continue
that "tbe grain is not turning out as
expected," and "the grain crop is not
as good as It was last year." These re
ports are quite general. The expected
crop was very large, and this was due
to the very favorable weather from the
latter part of May to the middle of
July; the weather then became dry
and warm rather suddenly, which
checked the filling of the heads; in ad
dition, the wheat aphis developed with
great rapidity, and their ravages
materially affected the spring grain by
not permitting it to fill properly.
These are the causes which prevent
the crop from being as large as was
expected, or as large as in 1897. Tbe
wheat, oats, and other grain crops are
good, but not as good as the producers
had reason to expect.
Hops are making good growth and
picking vlll begin at any time after
the 26th Inst. The yards are, as a rule,
In good condition, and the quality of
the hop is suoerior to those of the past
few years. At the present time, there
are fewer hop lice than is usual.
Bartlett pears are being packed and
shipped; the croD Is an unusually good
one. The fruit prospects continue
most excellent. Peaches are a good
crop except in the Willamette Valley
counties, and they are being shipped
in large quantities. The apple crop is
very large, but infested with the Cod.
lln moth. The prune crop is the
largest ever had In tbe state. Warm,
dry weather is necessary to save the
prune crop. Pasturage is fairly good
and stock presents an excellent ap
pearance. There have been fewer
f"est fires this year than usual, and
tie' result is tbe air Is but little im
pregnated with smoke.
In Eastern Oregon tbe change in
temperatnre was most beneficial to
animal and vegetable life. Harvest
ing operations will continue for the
next six weeks, though by the middle
of September the bulk of the grain will
be secured. The reports continue to
be good concerning the quality of the
grain. The grain has commenced to
move to tidewater. Tbe warm weather
ripened all the spring-sown grain in
places too rapidly and the result is,
it is somewhat shriveled. The grain
crop, as a whole, is thoroughly satis
factory. The second cutting of alfalfa Is about
finished, and the reports f-om - the
stock country indicate a full supply of
hay for winter use.
The fruit crop Is in excellent con
dition. Heavy shipments of peaches
continue; the weather has been very
favorable to the proper maturing of
peaches. Prunes are coloring. Bart
lett pears continue to be shipped. The
crop of watermellons is very large.
The week closes with no adverse
conditions to report; but, on the other
hand, everything points to the success
ful conclusion of a large crop year.

Kewsv Letter Regarding Camp
Merrttt
and Other Matters.
San Francisco, Aug. 22, 1898.
Ed. Tim E8 -Moun tain ekr:
We arrived here yesterday with the
delegates and grand and head officers
of the Woodmen of the World and
Women of Woodcraft. There were 15
coaches of delegates came down from
Portland and tbe train was drawn by
two immense engines. The Woodmen
and Circle's grand sessions convened
this morning at tbe Pioneer building
at ten o'clock.
Yesterday we went out to Golden
Gate park and find many beautiful im
provements have been made since we
were here during the midwinter fair,
among them being the conservatory
and the landscape gardening. The
drives are v$ry fine. We saw many
good turnouts, but to our notion The
Dalles can show better horses any
evening. The. muslo at the park is
flrsV Qlaas and tbe Sutro baths are fine,
any degree of warm or cold water may
be obtained for tbe baths, and at night
the baths present a brilliant appear
ance, so many lights glistening at once
make a pretty scene. Shooting the
chutes is rare sport aad lots of fem
inine shrieks may be beard as tbe
boat oowea dashing down the railway
into the water, the same sensation is
experienced in tobogganing.
We visited camp Merrlt; and. we do
not blame the Oregon boys or any
other human thing for complaining at
the surroundings. Tbe camps are is
the sand, and when the wind blows
from the ocean down there it is very
cold. Yesterday afternoon tbe fog
came np and was just like mist.
The boys said that morning that
sand would be wet to the depth of four
and five inches. The tents are black
with tbe dirt that blows, and it is a
very disagreeable, place for Uncle
Slam'e boys to be quartered. The
stench from the cesspools everywhere
is awful; Jackson's hog ranch east of
The Dalles smells like roses in cow
parlson. The cook? got mefs ready
while wa were there talking to George
Dufur, Charlie Wagner, young Pouts
and Harry Fredden. These boys were
glad to see us, and we were glad also
to see them. They saAd their supper
would, oanaitt pf beans, boiled beef,
potatoes, rice and coffee. - Tbey said
beans appeared os the bill of fare at
least two times daily.

Know lm Or.fna,
Lieutenant Albert L. Mills, ap
pointed by President McKinley super-
intendent of tbe West Point military
academy, is well known in Oregon,
His new position gives him the rank
of Lieutenant colonel, he served in
tbe department of the Columbia for
many years. While stationed at r ort
Walla Walla in 1881 he was married
to Miss PadJock, daughter of the late
Bishop Paddock, of Tacoma. He was
wounded at tbe battle of Santiago,
where the First cavalry did some bard
fighting, and CaDtain Fosse was killed.
Lieutenant Mills graduated from
West Point in 1879.
IN A LONDON HOTEL,
Conveniences and Conceits That Swv
prise Americas Visitors.
The American visitor to London who
stops att a certain hotel in that city
finds many novelties and conveniences
that are not known here in America,
where hotels, are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury, save the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. It has an Amer
ican plan dining-room, but only a
French bill of fare. It has an Indian-
room, where an Indian chief in the cos
tume of his country prepares native
dishes for those who dtesire them.
In this hotel each guest is known by
tbe number of lis room instead of
his name, and it is rather odd to an
American to be addressed as "Mr. 960,"
as though he were a convict in the pen
itentiary. On each floor, day and night, are to
be found a maid, a valet and a waiter.
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come
home at night, if you are a man, you
find your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed1 away in a chest
of drawers. If you are a woman, the
maid attends to frills and furbelows
as though ehe were hired by you es
pecially. Guests never bother with
their keys the maid or valet on the i
floor takes charge of the key and is
reaoy at any time to open your door.
A Pecnllar Optical Illasloa.
The correspondent erf a photographic
journal, in speaking- of the special ia -
(crest that attaches to the Roentgen.
rays among photographers, who often
are not in. a position to invest in elab-
orate and expensive seta of apparatus,
says it is not generally known that by
means of a very simple optical illusion,
an almost perfect imitation of tbe won-
ders of uhe radiography can be shown
without the trouble and expense of in.-
duction coils, tubes or fluorescent
screens. All that is necessary is to take
a small feather from a pheasant or tur-
key, and holding it close, to the eye
look through the raxliaitiing ribs at the
end of tbe leather at tbe fingers of tbe
hand held up towards the sky. or '
against the window. The flesh of the
fingers will then appear to be trans-
parent, with tbe opaque bone running
down in tbe center, as shown by the true
radiography. If it is desired to exhibit
the phenomenon by gaslight a piece of
ground glass must be held in front of
thr flame to diffuse the light.
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinquent taxes of Wasco
county, as shown on the rolls now in
the hands of the sheriff, are $60,000, an
amount almost equal to the indepted-
ness of the county. Every citizen will
doubtless admit that this state of
affairs should not exist, and that all
taxes should be collected. On account
of hard times in the past the county
court has shown leniency to taxpayers,
but that leniency has reached the
limit, and the court cannot wait longer
on dellquents to make settlement.
For this reason a warrant has been at
tached to eaoh delinquent roll, com.
mandlng the sheriff to collect all taxes
by seizure and sale of property. With
tbe bountiful crops now in sight, there
can no longer be any reasonable ex
cuse for tbe non-payment of taxes.
The sheriff is bound under oath to
comply with tbe terms of tbe warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can
save the cost of seizure and sale of
property by settling their taxes at
once. Robert Kelly,
Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco Count) .

Tea Gowns Am Poaalar. .
Tea gowns have Always been popular
with women since they were introduced
and this dressy affair is courted by
many women both summer and winter.
A gabrielle front and Watteau back are
inseparable from the regulation tea
gown, though the most elaborate and
newer editions of this style of dress
are more like a fancy princess dress
vhen anything else. Howerer, in -this.
as in all other garments, variety is the
rule, and the manner of trimming and
change of materials lend style and ef
fect to the garment more then the orig
inal cut, which may be in belted style
or not, as the fancy dictates. Chicago
