OLD TIMEK HEARD FROM,
Yesterday one of his old friends
in Heppner received a letter from
Happy Jack in which lie says:
"I came from Montana back here on
to the edge of Puget Sound and drifted
into my old business of chasing revenue
cutters and aiding Asiatics) to' get into
our glorions climate. I am half-owner
in a spanking little boat, but the busi
ness is all a farce, and I am wet all (he
time. It rains and rains.
"I think I will go back to herding in
the sunshine of the Heppner Hills. It
seems but yesterday when I was asleep
on some sax in the rear of Frank Mad
dock's store and Ed Bishop came in for
some bacon and my dog nearly bit him.
That faithful dog is dead. Had more
sense than his master and died for bim.
I cried over the corpse.
"I saw John Hendrys over heie just
as he whs pulling out in a wagon-sheet
and 4 cayuses for Tillamook and the
head of the Big Blue to hunt oysters
and buffalo.
BEAUTIFUL BUTTONS.
The Heppner M. E. Church South
has one of the most flourishing Sunday
Schools in the state, and to see the
large stream of little ones pouring out
after singing their sweet songs is a most
inspiring sight. A new and popular
idea has been introduced, that of pin
ning upon each child's breast a beauti
ful badge button, of which they are
very proud. ,
WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK.
Portland, Dec. 5.
Continued strength in the wheat mar
ket was the best factor in the trade sit
uation yesterday, and while there is not
much selling, anything which indicates
higher prices has its effect on general
trade in the wheat districts.
The improvement hns checked the
selling movement slightly, and farmers
are holding off thinking that there will
he a further advance. Exporters were
quoting 534 and 54 cents for Walla
Walla yesterday, and at these figures
were picking up a few stragling lots.
Ships are needed more than wheat for
distant business, but exporters hesitate
to take many at present rates with so
much uncertainty about the wheat
market.
