The A. O. Q. W. lodge of Weston is probably the most prosperous in the city ar.d steadily increases in mem'HTsh -p. It is compos J of some of our bi-st farmers and busi ne-ts citizens. Weston is well represented with secret and benevolent societies, there being eight including the G. A. R., Ladies Relief Corps and W. C.T. U. Lo, the Poor Settler. It seems that through some error or fault of the land department, or attorneys for claimants, quite a number of tilings on railroad land under the forfeiture act have been rejected and .claimants notified to make, supplement proof before tbecal land office at La jSrande or the county clerk of this county. In. accordance with these instruc tions, Mesnrs. vJeorjse Stages, James LieualJen, Monroe Hicks and Matt Isley went to Pendleton on Thurs day evening and filed corrected ap plications. . The question nojv occurs as to the additional expense incurred by these applicants. There is every reason to believe '.he department is at fault for not making all neces sary rules and regulations govern ingthe purchase of forfeited rail road lands. If this be the case, and in consideration of tb dtrt. that there are many thousand poor j eettiers on these lands who are un justly required to travel long dis tances and Jncur large expense, it eems the government should either grant a rebate of extra expense or provulein 8ome manner for the py inmt on aoum of a blunder of the department, i The xarket.

The other ctr was a good sample of fall grain which was badly injured hy heat and was Dassed to the lowest gradi in .Portland. While there is an unusual amount of this P'orer class of wheat this season, especially in the vicinity of Downing station, still the reporter has noticed samples of good wheat on Agent J. D. I-rael's desk equal to any wheat grown last season. The variety known as the English Mole has been affected but very little by heat. Mr. DeGraw exhibits a very fine 6am pie of it and states that it threshed out 35 bushels per acre. T. J. Price has about 40 acres' of this vanity which averaged 30 bushels per acre, good quality. This wheat was introduced into this county four years ago by Robert Jam e' sou ana Mr. l'nce and is growing in favor in the Eastern End.

The watermelon season is now upon us and thresher crews aud mall boys are happy. One of Weston's citizens who enjoys the intorioof a big melon thus sums up his' views: "The plant has a happy way of its own of sending its roots down deep into the sand and extracting from its cavernous depths thatsuccharine matter which makes the fruit so delicious to the palate. And then, alter the rains jmd the dews have brought abloom, modest and blushing, to the trail ing vine, the tierej sun sends a ray darting like an arrow to pluck the liower, and in its place soon appears a bulb, green and ambitious, which, shortly expands into huge propor tions and assumes a rich color tan talizing to the appetite of the nom adic Senegambian, who will brave the terws of watch-dog and shot gun to snatch that melon in the dark of the moon and hie him to a trysting place to t rack the brittle rind and bury his nose and mouth in the watery meat." )ysppsaa - Few people have suffered more severer from dyspepsia than Mr. E.
