grain' unthreshed and a good many
' fields of oats uncut. Harvesting the

The collector of internal revenue has
notified the merchants in the hop dis
. trict that they must put revenue stamps
on all hop tickets in their possession
received from pickers for merchandise.
Heretofore tickets, although showing
on their face they were not transfer
able, have passed from hand to hand
as freely as coin of the realm.' ' The
stamp requirement will probably do
away with the use of tickets.

that there are yet a few farmers
through that section that haye not fin

chances for a profitable harvest very
doubtful.
Earnest Middlebrook returned from
Celilo yesterday where he has beec
employed by Seufert Bros, at their
fishery. He states that the fish are
running very slack which makes it un
necessary for that company to keep
the large force of men employed, so
that they are letting out a number of
those they employed for the fall sea
son. If the salmon catch is not better
during the next few days it is likely
that the fishery will close down.
A sugar beet factory is proposed in
North Yakima, by capitalists acting
through Edward Whitson. Before
proceeding with the factory, however,
assurances must be forthcoming that
5000 acres in sugar beets will be an
nually planted. The bounty offered
by law makes it a surity that $4 per
ton can be had for the beets, and 30
tons can be raised to the acre. The
establishment of a sugar beet factory
means the employment of 25,000 peo
ple, that is at least that many people
will be interested in it financially.

ot Henry Miller vs. J. G. and I. N.
Day in the United States court of ap

trol and never violent.

The fruit raisers bave adopted a
new system in this section which
proves much safer and more satisfac
tory than any way that they bave
tried of disposing of their fruit. This
fruit, whisu they wish to ship to East
ern markets is picked and loaded on
the cars by the producers, after which
it is sold and turned over to the agents
of tbe Eastern houses atid there the
responsibility of the producer ends.
He knows exactly what he gets from
his product and is not responsible if
the fruit does not arrive in good shape
and he is not at tbe mercy of the
Eastern merchants. Nearly all the
fruit is being sold on the above terms
and satisfactory prices are being re
alized. Yesterday tbe Prineville stage met
with an accident while coming down

Yesterday the Diamond Mills began
operations once more, after being
closed down for repairs for a couple of
weeks. It is customary to give tbe
mill a thorough overhauling at tbis
time of year so as to guard against any
delays after tbe whe-.it begins to pour
in. Tbe mill cannot fill the orders
received for flour at present so that
to them delays are dangerous.

Edward A. Johnston, who is em
ployed by Davidsons in their large
mill at Hood River, is in the city today.
He states that tbe lumber was piling
up to such an extent in the yards that
the mill had to shut down for a few
days in order to give the men time to
store it properly so that it would not
be ruined by careless piling. Captain
Davidson has proven that he is an ex

The fortieth anniversary of the Con
gregational church in this city was
fittingly celebrated yesterday. The
chu.-ch was organized on September
17, 18;j9 just 40 years ago yesterday and
its falling on the sabbath made it 'he

between the hours of 8 and 12 o'clock
as the work of putting in tbe new
gates has not been completed. The
one on Third and Court was put in
place last night and the other on Court
and Second will be finished this even
ing. The races at Prineville have been
postponed from Wednesday Oct. 4, to
Saturday the 7th inst, by order of the

first day of her fall opening and maids
and matrons gathered to see the many
; beautiful; pattern hats thai, she has
on exhibition. Her stock ha-? been
' purchased entirely in one of the leading
San Francisco wholesale bouses and is

Tbe price of wheat stands the same
as it did a few weeks ago when tbe
first of tbe season began coming into
market. For first class wheat 52 cents
is being paid, while tbe other grades
vary according to the quality, some
bringing as low as 42 cents. Every day
th eamount coming into market from
the Oregon and Washington side of
the river increases and is proying to
be of better quality than was hereto
fore reported. Tbe-splendid condition
of the road leading from the Klickitat
valley induces many who would not
bring their wheat here otherwise to
haul to The Dalles.
A party of young people turned out
last night with Ward & Robertson's
waggonette and four frisky steeds, a
few fish horns and strong lungs and in
spite of the fact that no one knew
what their object was or where they
were bound for, eyeryone within ten
blocks of where tbey passed knew tbat
"something had broke loose," and are
still guessing as to what it might have
been. It was insinuated that their
destination was a watermellon patch
on the suburbs and that their inten
lions were not nonest, but tbis was
disputed by Joe Robertson who seems
to nave as gooa control oyer nis tongue i
as he has over the team he drove, and
nothing could be learned from bim.

trying to get the position of sergeant
at-arms of tbe bouse of representatives
as has been reported. He is attending
strictly ',o his own private business,
which is tbe practice of law, in his old
hometown, Heppner. The position of
sergeant-at-arms, however, is quite an
acceptable one, as tbe pay is the same
as that of congressman $5000 a year
while the duties are more of tbe
grand-marshal-on-parade order. The
official takes the lead in the procession
when tbe senate and bouse meet in
committee of the whole, and be also
acts as treasurer for congress, each
member of tbe lower house receivi jg
his salary through the sergeant-at-

The Ball Given by the Hood and Ladder
Co. a Success In Every Particular.
The party given by the Hook &
Ladder Co. a, the Vogt last night was
a a laud success in every particular.
The guests began arriving early and at
9:15, when the strains from Birgfeld's
orchestraannouoced the opening num
ber, some 250 people were in the hall.
The evening was a trifle warm for
dancing, nevertheless when good
music, pleasant surroundings and
jovial companions are at band it is bard
for any who dance to miss an oppor
tunity to trip the light fantastic. Con
sequently until midnight the floor was
thronged with merry-makers and
pleasure seekers. The Hook & Ladder
Co. are to be congratulated for their
management of the affair for at every
hand could be beard words of praise in
their behalf. In fact many expressed
their surprise at seeing such a nice
I crowd at a public dance, for in reality
tnose attending could not have been
better selected had tbey each been re
quested to be present by special invita
tion. It is plain to be seen tbat wben an
affair of this sort is properly handled
there is no danger whatever 7rom a
rough element, and that every one
who attends has a good time and is on
pleasant terms with those whom he
may come in contact with.
The proceeds of the ball will go to
wards helping to buy a new hook and
ladder truck for use in the city. It was
a commendable effort in tbis organi
zation to give such an affair and it is
deserving of all praise and money
given it. Tbe ball was a success finan
cially as well as otherwise and the
gross receipts were $345.

Gavin acting as toast master, member
after member was called and delivered
impromptu talks on subjects assigned
to them. The evening was both
profitably and pleasantly spent and
festivities did not conclude until 12:30.
Gladly Gave the Flovrera from He
Bat to Remind the Mora of
Borne and Mother.
When the soldier boys left for the
south there -was one bright-looking girl
standing on the depot platform, says
the Denver Times. She wore one of the
fashionable hats which appear like a
garden of flowers. As she stood there,
with the tears coursingdown hercheeks,
she saw the other girls burying the
brave boys in literal forests of flowers.
One of the soldiers stepping up to her
asked:
"Please, may I have one of those flow
ers on your hat?"
She took his hand, and in a voice most
womanly said: "Yes, sir, and may God
bless you."
Then she told them all to come and se
lect a flower from her hat. The boys,
with hands grim and bronzed from camp
life, carefully culled them from the
straw frame until they were all gone.
Then she put on what was left of it, and,
stepping back toward the car, said with
emotion:
"Boys, I wish there were more. 1
hope you will come back again, and that
those flowers will remind you of the
pleasant scenes of home, and guide you
as your dear old mother would have
taught you to go."
There were several girls standing close
by who whispered: "I wouldn't ruin
my hat that way," but the wiser heads
remarked: "There is a loyal American
woman God bless her." Denver

FUNERALS IN ARABIA.
Their Extreme Dolefnlaeaa a Sluiced
Characteristic Walllna Bi-
tends to the Dogs.
f
"One of the strangest and most af
fecting sights in an Arab town," says
a Tunis corrrespondent of London
Sketch, "is that of the funerals, which
may be met at any street corner. The
corpse is merely wrapped in a mat of
esparto grass and carried either on a
bier or on men's shoulders. The mourn
ers lounge along, some in front and
some behind, crooning verses of the
Koran in melancholy tones, which haunt
one for days afterward.
"This wailing is, however, nothing to
that which gees on in the house of the
deceased. When I was staying in the
country near Tunis I heard it kept up
during a whole night in a neighboring
village, and I can conceive nothing
more desperately depressing than these
strains of lamentation wafted through
the darkness by the breeze. My dog
stood it even less well than I did and
felt constrained to join in the doleful
chorus until I was half-tempted to put
a bullet through his head. Perhaps the
strangest of all the funerals I saw was
at Bizerta. It was that of a baby, which
was being carried to its grave in an es
parto basket."
JUMBLING THE SERVICE.
Blunders In the Marriage Vows Made
by Both Bride and
Groom.
! A Hampshire clergyman recently re
lated some of the blunders he '
heard made in the marriage service .
persons of the class who have to pick
up the words as best they can from
hearing them repeated by otlhers, says
the Weekly Telegraph. He said that in
his own parish it was quite the fashion
for the man, when giving the ring, to
say to the woman:
i "With my body I thee wash up, and
with all my hurdle goods, I, tlhee, and
thou."
He said the women were generally
better up inj this part of the service than
the men.
One day, however, a bride startled
him by promising, in what she sup
posed to be the language of the prayer
book, to take her husband "to 'ave and
to 'old from this day fortni't for bet
terer horse, for richerer power, in eig
gerness health, to love cherries, and to
bay."
What meaning this extraordinary
tow conveyed to the woman's owit,
mind, the incumbent said, it baffled
him to conjecture.

Did yon ever notice the man in the
witching -tower? Does it ever occur to
you that the lives of everv livino- nmnn
on a train frequently depend on the prompt
ness and intelliirence with which he moves
the switch levers under his control ?
If men could only realize how small a
thine may act at the critical instant to
switch them from a dangerons track on to
one of perfect safety, the yearly deaths
from lung- diseases would be less by many
thousands.

" When I started to take your medicine I was
losing wrigkt rapidly; I was very pale and had
no appetite whatever. I used three bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovnvnri nnw
my condition is changed entirely. I do not
coueh at all: I have rained &irht mmHt in
weight, have gained my healthy color; and my
appetite is enormous. I can and will recommend
your medicine to everybody who may be in need
of it; as it is a sure cure, and no humbug aa so
many other patent medicines are. It is by far
the superior of all."
