days labor on the steamer.

that the summer run was anything
but profitable. Canneries are being
cleared for action, low water wheels
cleared of rocks and stumps and in
fact everything done so that as soon
Us the season opens they will begin
fvork to beat two of a kind.
1 Shortly after 7 o'clock last evening
vain began failing and continued
Vnrlncr t.h niffht. The DerciDitation.
fwirrifncr tn lnraJ observer.. S. L.
Brooks, was .17 of an inch, and while
it may not have done any great
amount of damage as yet, much loss
may result in the farming sections if
it continues. The grain is In nearly
every instance .cut with headers and
thrown, together carelessly in piles so
that but little rain will soak It
thoroughly and cause it to rot in a
short time, as in 1893. In fact the only
benefit derived from last night's rain
was that it helped put the fire under
control and the sooner it stops the
better, pleised will He the people of
Eastern and Western Oregon and
Waahingon.

and will be a wealth producer in the
future. " ' y
Last Saturday Deputy Sheriff Sexton

com county has published notice tbat
hereafter all retail business and trade

trad semen generally, as well as against
liquor dealers. This is tbe sequel of
an attack on the saloons by tbe W. C.

What the effect of the notice will be
is problematical but it is generally
conceded that it will be complied
with.

nate old iciiows wno orinss to excess
whenever he has an opportunity, and
tbe city authorities have found it is
useless to jail him as a punishment.

LET'S MAKE AN EXHIBIT.
Wasco County Miould He Weil Kepre
atnieU at Portlatid and tnalvm.
Never before in the history of Ore
gon cliu Wasco couuty bare a belter
opportunity 10 aaveiiise itself by
making an exhibit of its products than
at present. Crop In tbe Willamette
valley are nut .vbat tbey should be,
and tbe recent rains have proven dis
astrous to the grain while fruit was
almost a total failure, hence the rx- !
nibita at the tate lair a:;d Poi tltud !
exposition of larm aou o-ciiard pro

Cascades wiil not be up 10 the oland
arnd. But Wasco county can make an ex
hibit that will be must attractive
and wiil show to gooi advantage
when l.r -ubt in contrast with the
product u( otber counties. A fruit
and vegetable exhibit can be made
that would be creditable any season,
and especially ho this year when the
crops of otber localities are short
both in quality and quantity. It U
therefore important tbat those who can
supply products that are suitable for
display do so. Tbe exhibits should
be placed in the hands of some com
petent person who will see that tbey
are phown to an advantage both at the
state fair and PcrtianJ exposition, and
who will explain tbiir merits to tbe
visitors of those places.
an Oregon Kloudlke.
Messrs. Joles, Young and Miller, of
the Sand Gulch Mining Co., who are
operating a placer mine in Spanish
gulch, Wheeler county, came in yester
day from tbeir mine and brought with
them $6200 in dust, the result of a four
months' run. Tbey began piping tbe
first of last April witb two hydraulics,
and cleau. d up tbe first of August.
During tbe season tbey worked on an
average - eignt men in the mine,
hence tbeir mine has pid them about
$5.50 to tbe man per day, a better re
suit than has fallen to a majority of
tbe miners who went to Alaska. The
gold they took out is pretty coarse, tbe
largest nugget weighing $97, while
there were many nuggets that went
from $1 to $15. It is at present dis
played at French & Co. 's "bank, and re
minds early settlers of older times
when this was the distributing point
for the upper country mines.
About two years ago tbe company
took up ground in Spanish gulch tbat
former miners considered worthless,
and this is the Erst season's good run
tbey bave made. Tbey bad sufficient
water to run two pipes four months,
and are still running one pipe, which
tbey will be able to continue in opera
tion until tbe water freezes this fall.
Walla Walla's Bonda.
Walla Walla city offered for sale
$350,000 worth of bonds some weeks
since. Bids came from several eastern
houses but when tbey were opened
were found not to be satisfactory and
were all rejected. - New bids were ad
vertised for and these were opened
Thursday nigbt. It la found tbat
Morris & Whitehead, of Portland,
were the best bidders. The bonds
were awarded them, their bids cover
ing ti.e whole Issue of $350,000. For
the eU-s A bonds, $133,000 worth,
beaiM t- ii percent, they paid par and
a premium of $2100; for tbe class B
bonds, amounting to $217,000and 5 per
cent, i hey will pay par. The class A
bonds run for twenty years while the
class B bonds can be called by the city
in stated amounts annually. Fred S.
Morris, of Morris & Whitehead, was
in Walla Walla looking after tne firm'f
interest. These are the same parties
that purchased tbe $120,000 city of
Pendleton bonds which ware Issued on

WEBFOOT DAMPENED.
Heavy Katns all Over the Valley on
Friday and Saturday.
Willamette valley had hardly dried
out after the rains of two weeks ago
when it was again visited by another
storm on Friday and Saturday of last
wpek. Thresniog had been resumed
in most localities on Wednesday, and
farmers were making good progress
with their harvesting, but the rain put
a stop to all operations, and it is found
that the last rain will cause more loss
than the first. In some places the
wheat, sprouted badly, and will not he
salable pxcept for feed, and oat are
badly colored. It is thought the last
storm will cause more damage
ormn tbe first, and even if tbe weather
should now remain dry until after
harvest is finished, there will be a
heavy Io?9 to farmers. The hop crop
is not thought to be materially in
jured, and if good weather prevails
from now until picking time hops will
be about up to the average. As a con
sequence, of the storm, flour advanced
from $2 65 to $3 per barrel at Salem
Saturday, and it is expected tbe price
of wheat will go ur a few points when
the new crop is t ffered on the markets.
Money In Plums.
Orehardists this year who have had
prime plums have made a good thing
out of them, as the fruit has been in
demand east and has commanded fair
prices. ' One fruit raiser of The Dalles
shipped 1600 crates of peacb plums
during the season that netted him $800.
This crop was from an orchard of
only a few acres, and certainly is a
first, rate return, it being as much
clear money as farmers usually make
off a wheat farm of 160 acres. Such
results a.s this should prove to anyone
that fruit raising in Wasco county is
profir.abl, for any orchard after it
! once begins to bear and is properly
j carc?d for will bring good returns to
1 tho owner. It costs no more to care
i for an acre of orchard than it does to
j plow a"d seed 10 acres to grain, and
tbe results are better. If every farmer
in the country were to devote more at
tention to fruit raising the income of
the county would be greater than it is.
What is needed is more diversified
farming.
THE DALLES LAUNDRY BURNE D
The Buildings Almost a Total
Machine liadly Damagen.
Los
Again last uigiit, at about 9 o'clock,
afire oroke out in The Dalles Steam
1 Laundry, and this time the fire fiend
1 accomplished its purpose by leaving
I tbe buildings occupied by the laundry
i little better than a mass of tvortbless
j ruins.
The first alarm was turned in at a
few moments past 9 o'clock and was
promptly answered by the hose com
pa-ilie.
The Columbia's were tbe first to the
scene t.f the MaZf and in short notice
had ant ream f.om the plug on Second
and Court str-ots playing on tbe
tire. They were closely followed
; by the Jackson company which at-
tached up to the plug on Firt and
' Washington. The East End and Mt.
: Hood companies and the Hook and
; Ladders also arrived in good time and
i in about 20 minutes six streams, four
: from tbe piugs, one from tbe engine
! and one from tbeO. R. & N. shops were
playiutr hard on the fire. It had a good
s;art. however, and burned obstanate
ly and for a time it looked as if it
would spread to the surrounding build
ings. Tbe Cosmopolitan Hotel was
in danger of catching for a time and
if it had the D. P. & A. N. warehousa
woulc nave been In considerable dun
ger. A bard fiht- of a little over oi.e
hour ii-ouliu ht '.h il-iraiv under con
trol, and altbougii the D P. & A. N.
Co.'s office was in the same- building as
the laundry it was injured but slightly
from water and somewhat torn up
by tbe furniture being moved out
The new water svstem proved itself
to be the thing needed and the pres
sure was reduced but little, in spite of
the amount of water being used, it
stood at 100 pounds being reduced but
fiye pouuds witb all the streams turned
on.
Th buildings destroyed were the
property of Mrs. T. Baldwin and Otis
Savage. Both were old building the
latter having being erected by Mr.
Snider over 20 years ago and used for
a long rime as a resturant, and was an
old landmark in tbat part of town.
The building originally cost probably
$3000 but was not worth a great deal as
it was neglected and in a poor shape
and although it was not insured the
loss would not reach $1200.
Tbe Savage building was also an
old affair and although two rooms are
badly gutted it can be repaired at a
comparatively small expense. It was
also uninsured.
Mr. McAllister's loss is not as heavy
as was at first supposed, nearly all of
the goods and considerable of tbe
furniture was saved, while much of the
mtchinery was injured but sligbtlv.
Mr. McAllister being out of town at
the time of the fire W3 could not 'earn
exactly what bis loss would amount to
but it will not in all probability ex
ceed four hundred dollars.
Mr. Smiley, the foreman in the
laundry, stated that be was in the
building at about 8 o'clock and the
fire bad gone dowa in tbe Engine and
stoves to such an extent that he doubts
that it could bave caught from either
of these, and is of the opinion that li
was of incindary origin. It may have
caught however, in the same place It
did a few days since, but as there was
none on tbe spot until It bad gained a
good headway it is difficult to say posi
tively how it originated.
Nothing has been reported stolen,
which is probably due to the work of
tbe fire patrol, as the police kept watch
over all goods tbat was carried out.
Considering everything good work
was done by the department, although
the usual number of curiosity seekers
were present, who belong to that
class that will not lend a hand if need
ed. I h is was particularly noticable
when the fire first broke ou Two or
three men were allowed to haul each
cart to the fire while dozens ran by
and refused to lend a 'hand. The space
that sucb peraoni occupy at such
place is needed more than thair presence.
B1NGER HERMANN TALKS.
He Favors sheep Grazing on the Oregon
Timber .Reserve.
Hon. Binger Hermann, commis
sioner of tbe general land office, was
in Portland yesterday, and was inter
viewed by a Telegram reporter con
cerning sbecp on tbe timber reserves.
Here is what be said;
"While at home on this trip I bave
been giving more than usual attention
to the subject of sheep grazing on the
timber reserves in tnis state. I have
studied this question for many years,
but in view of the position taken by
the secretary of agriculture recently, I
have given the matter still further
consideration, and I mut say that I
differ from Secretary Wilson.
"Now, I am in favor of taking the
sheep off the reserves in most localities.
For instance, in New Mexico, Arizona,
and other states where it is very dry,
it is highly necessary tbat the sheep
should be kept off, and tbey are. But
here in Oregon, wnere there is so
much rain, and where tbe forests are
nearly all of fir, there is no necessity
for removing the sheep. There is
plenty of grass, and there is absolutely
no danger of sheep injuring thegrowth
of fir.
"The latest statistics show that Ore
gon is at tbe head of the list in the
wool business. Why should ne cripple
this great industry by restricting the
grazing privHege when such restric
tion can not possibly benefit tbe forests.
'The reports of the deputies who
are rigr t in the forests, and who see
what is going on, do not indicate that
tbe sheep is detrimetital in auv way to
tije forest or to the young growth
there.
"Now, I contend, as I bave la tbe
past, that so long as the sheep do not
harm tbe reserves, that they should be
allowed to graze there and thus help to
foster one of our leading indurtries.
"It is possible to pre.vent any injury
whatever arising from sheep grazing
on the reserves. All tbat is necessary
to limit the uum ber of sheep allowed
on them to so many bead, and limit
number of months in each year tbat
the sheep shall run at large on tbem.
"There, with one or two other re
strictions, will be a vafeguard against
any possible damage that could arise.
"Now, I am heartly in favor of keep
ing all catltc or sheep off the Bull Run
reservation. This is necessary to
keep tbe excellent water supply of
Portlacd pure. No sheep are allowed
in tbat locality and none should be,
bui where ibere are no special reasons
for prohibiting such grazing in Oregon
I think it would be a great mistake to
stop It."
If you want to pure base 250 bead of
sheep just apply to Mr. Dad Butts and
he will give you a bargain.

FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
Vanderbltts to Get Control of a Through
Line Across the Continent.
A New York dispatch dated August
27, says: " It is learned on excellent
authority tbat the Northern Pacific
company, some time ago, disposed of
its eut re holdings of Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company preferred to a
banking house in this city, which is
closely indentifind with Union Pacific
interests. The Oegon Short Line
which is controlled by the Union Paci
fic, is tbe owner of practically all the
common stock of tbe Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company. Tbe coo
trolling interest in the preferred stock
of tbe latter corporation has been
owned jointly by the Union Pacific,
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
the holdings of these lust two being
equal in amount, but tbe Union Pacific
holdings bei g much larger than those
of either of the others. By the trans
fer of the Northern Pacific's-interest,
it is inderstood the Union Pacific
i-ecur. s eontiol jf the prefened stock
of the Oregoo R til road & Navigation
tbe common stock of which it already
controlled through' its relations with
tbe Oregon Short Line."
The transfer of this stock to tbe
friends of the Union Pacific mean
tbat in a very sbort time the U. P,
will take charge of tbe O. R. & N. and
O. S. L roads, which will together
with the other roads owned by the
Vanderbilts will give tbem a -
tinuous line from from New York to
Portland. And it is not likely they
will stop eveu there, for they will
want a road from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, hence will probably extend on
down to i.he mouth of tbe river. When
this is done, it will make one of the
greatest, if not the greatest railroad
systems in the world, and its Pacific
coast terminus will spring into a city
tbat will be second only to San Fran
Cisco on this side of tbe continent.
THE DOCTOR'S MISTAKE.
The doctor made a mistake in the num
ber and called at the wrong house. No
woman calls a doctor after she is once
acquainted with
the remedial value
of Dr. Pierce's Fa-
1 vorite Prescription
in all diseases and
drains common to
the sex. Without
humiliating ques
tions or local ex
aminations the
cure is accom
plished by the
use 01 tne
" Favorite
supplemented
by free
medical advice if needed. This medi
cine is harmless in any condition of the
system and can be taken without tbe
slightest fear of bad consequences. It con
tains no whisky or alcohol. There is not
an iota of anything narcotic in it. The
relief it gives is permanent. In this it
differs from many preparations which
give temporary relief only by deadening
tbe sense of feeling with narcotics, and
the dangerous stimulants tbey contain
create an appetite for strong drink.
When a dealer offers a substitute for
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, re
member these facts.
When their diseases are deep-seated
and of long standing, women will find
it to their interest to write to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., who has had won
derful success in curing diseases of wom
en, fe gives advice fi-ee, and invites all
to write him. Prompt, careful and per
sonal attention is paid to each letter, and
the fullest advice is always given.
"After five months of rm!L suffering I write
this for the benefit of other sufferers from the
same affliction," says Mrs. H. A. Alsbrook, oi
Austin. Lonoke Co.. Ark. V I doctored with onr
family pb'-sician without any good results, so
my nuso. Si
1 nreed me to try Dr. Pierce's medi
cines which I did, with wonderful results. I
