THIS LONG CKEKK TRADE.
I'eiidletnn Knjoys an Immense Traffic With
the People of That section.
East Ortgontan Sept. 20.
Pendleton merobants Bre e joying
their usually large trade with the peo
ple from the Long Greek country, acd
the various localities which lie south of
tbis oity. Tbe business is coming in
from as far south as the Canyon City
and Prairie City regioD, and those who
come here from there appear to be en
joying a high degree of prosperity. For
years, it hs been the common remark
in Pendleton that there ia never a
bad Roconut in tbe Long Creek oonr
try. People from there pay cash for all
goods bought, or, hen asking short
time nooommodation, invariably settle
promptly at maturity of tbe obligations.
Judging from the character of the busi
ness trausaoten in Pendleton with the
Long Creek people, they are about as
prosperous as are the people of any part
of the Pacific coast.
Pendleton merchants oiBy coogrutu
late themselves upon the manner in
which the people, throughout the conn
try tributary to this city have been re
assured oonoeruiog the smallpox case
which has been in the pest bouse bere.
For a short time there was some
rather extravagant rumors goiug over
the country, iu which tbe situation was
exaggerated. But the frank statements
which have been made, and the peisonal
assur-moe by the mayor, Dr. F. VV. Viu
oent, and tbe health (Ulcer, Dr. W. Q.
Cole, have dispelled luoorreot Lotions
regarding conditions here.
Today, for tho purpose of further as
surance, Dr Oule was interviewed, and
made the followiug statement:
"There is at the present time only one
case of smallpox in Pendleton, and this
is the only case. Tbe patient, who has
been from the first in the pest' house, is
doing uioely, and from nil appearutioee
is going to get well in a few days. He
is now not very sick, and there is every
reason to hope I bnt the w irst is over.
That worst, fortunately, was not very
bad, and under the conditions existing,
with the care i f an imuoe nurse, and
with the period of di nger p mt, no one
need pay any heed to it.
" The period during which there ex
isted any danger from exposure has
gone, and no mote oases developing, we
may now say to tbe world that Pendle
ton is as safe as any lo'vu in the oouu
try." Already, the Long Creek people are
(joining for the fall trade. Mr. R. Alex
auder, of the firm of Alexander ft dex
ter, stated today tho.V are daily loading
teams for the Long Creek oouutry, and
that a flue business is anticipated this
season.
"Pendleton occupies a position with
reference to the Lng Creek trade,"
Btated Mr. Alexander to the East Ore
gooian, "that cannot bi successfully
assailed by the merchants of any other
town. With the improvements ta be
made in the road t Miisanvilla mines,
and the footing already . possessed by
onr hous here, Peudletnu oommands
tbe Long Cree situation."
The Rloe outfit loaded today, anil lett
for the south oountry, hud quite a num
ber of outfits have been here aod de
parted on the return trip. Recently,
Sloan & Haskell, a bo have about as
heavy interests as any firm in all the
oouutry, has Ink en large quantities of
goods from Pendleton, mid they will bo
here again eoon for more Messrs.
Sloan k Haskell annually bay several
tnousitud dollars of goods in this oity,
and there are bnodredi of others who
prefer tbis marked to all offered in
Eastern Oreeon.
AM in all, Pendleton bids fair to con
trol the Long Creek trada this fall to a
degree greater than ever before, and
tbe improvement in the Hnianville road
wilf (moment Pendleton's traffic in a
considerable degree.

Heppner Charge.
Under the firm name of Shelley,
French & Co., Rev. Shelley and Geo.
French have bought an established
mercantile business at Olympia, Wash.,
and will leave tomorrow morning to
assume charge. Jess Shelley left for
that point last week, lie v. Bhelley's
new departure was quite a surprise to
his many friends here, and it is with de
cided reluctance that the community
gives him up, as his stay in our city as
pastor of the Christian church has en
deared him to tbe hearts of the people,
regardless, of creed. Being naturally
qualified for mercantile pursuits, which
he has followed at various times, the
cares of his family prompted his return
to them, and it is the prediction of
hiiHincKB men that his success is as
sured. Whatever his vocation lie will
continue to wield an elevating influence
in society. His estimable family will
also be missed by us all, and when leav
