The Canadian wool clip is short
this year. It is estimated that
there will be a falling off of about
L'5 per cent.
While a great deal has been
said about building a levy or
opening up and straightening the
channel of Willow creek, the stu
pendousnesa of the task has not
been realized until recent investiga
tion. It is a great task and would
cost an immense sum.
Hon. Otis Pattersou, formerly of
the Gazette, will again launch in

professional beggars. They get a
good hand out here by preyiDg
upon the sympathy of the good
people. This is a time when there
is a great demand for people xeho
want to work. An able man was
begging this week. A miserable
excuse for a misspent life. Let
them work. Make them work.
Andrew Carnegie has given 82,

Summer Wash Goods and Waistings
We have a largo quantity of Summer Wash Goods and Waistings left over and will sell them at a
reduction to make room for fall goods. These include Lawns, Ginghams, Percales, Dimities, Batistes,
Silk Ginghams and Mercerized Ginghams, and are all this season's goods. Owing to the flood and
backward season, we have more of a stock than we propose to carry over. It will pay you to look them
over before they are all gone.

Of the 15,000 persons operated
upon for appendictis m Great
Britain last year, 13,500 survived.
There is no data by which it can
be shown what number out of lo -
000 nereons sufferiner from this old-
new affliction came back to health
in the years before the practice of
operating for appendicitus began.
Hence it is impossible to tell by
comparison whether surgery has
scored a decided triumph over this
disease or not. Ex.
MO HI- FLOUR FOR THE ORIFZT.
The new rata OQ flour aud wheat j
to the orient is said to have stimu
lated the transpacific trade and it
is announced that another steam-
wlnn will lip nopilfd In hnndlt? the
freight offered on the liue that is
operated in connection with the O.
. & x. from Portland. There is
likelv to be a similar demand foi
space on other northern lines,
which will mea.i a considerable in
crease in the already promising
oriental business.
The growth of the flour exports
to the orient in the last 10 years
has been remarkable, beginning as
it did with practically nothing.
Many mills have paid particular
attention to the China and Japan
trade and for some years they were J
running night and day to supply
the demand. It was no easy mat
ter to introduce this American
product, but the pioneers in the
business achieved splendid results
and there is no doubt that thev
laid tha foundations for a great
commerce in flour alone.

Fruit is scarce in Heppner this season

little or no attention is paid to fruit
