Ob- Astoria, Or., Aug. 10.— There is a strong prospect of a lively tight at au early date over the so-called “ tines” exacted monthly from the keepers of gambling houses in consideration of immunity from police interference. For the past two years, each house in whioh games of chance, such as “ craps,” roulette, faro and the like, are conducted has paid the city month ly the sum of $50, but sinoe the open* :niw , - . , , , MARKETS. i 1* O > lut« Indianapolia, Ind., Aug. 10._The name of the new party in the National Democratic party. The national con- vention of the party w ill beheld at In dianapolia th. brat week in September There waa unanimity in the confer ence in the aeleotion of the name of the National Democratic party and in de termining to distinguish the two par ties by referring to those supporting the Chicago platform as the Populist-Demo- cratio party. There was no difference of opniou in the provisional national committee, at which it waa decided to call a convention and nominate another national ticket. Some of the Eastern and Southern members opposed a third ticket, but when they were told in the Middle States party"feahy was so re” garded that many Democrats would not vote unless there was a third ticket, then all objections from the East and South were withdrawn, and the deci sion to hold a convention was unani mous.

The graders are at work on Tansy point on the line between Flavel and Warrenton, leveling oil the space on which w ill soon be built the car sheds of the Astoria road. Au effort is being made to place Pen dleton and La Grande on the regular bicycle track race circuit. A move ment to that end is now under way, and already purses are talked of for a meet at La Grande. One day last week a freight train ran into a band of cattle that were hemmed in between a bluff and fence, near Blalock. A ll of the cattle were either killed by the accident or so badly maimed that they had to be killed. John Richie, who lives near Pendle ton, is the father of a two-months’ old boy that was born with ten fingers and ten toes, besides the thumbs and great toes, all of which are perfectly formed. The family physician thinks these ex tra uruviHiuus provisions may oo bo or of great value ir» Notwithstanding the fact that the wool and wheat markets are still in a state of stagnation, busineaa ia far from bad. August starts in in a very satis factory manner, and i f trade w ill only hold up as it has for awhile longer, we are in a fair way to experience a re turn of the good old days. The re markable run of salmon whioh marked the closing days of July and the first of August has been a great help. vgß'itrC'b- ' J J » |/Jt/ W h e a t M a rk e t.

The cutworm Is commonly confused with the white grub, and is in many cases mistaken for the grub. The adult of the cutworm Is n moth, and lays Its eggs mostly In grass and other place». The larva or worm feeds upon grass and leaves of other plants —sometimes the roots—until full grown, when it enters the ground to transform, and in a few days or weeks the adult moth emerges. The moths are of various colors, and are quite common during the slimmer months. They are night flyers, and hide during tbe day In grass and other places. They measure about one to one and one-half Inches across the wings, ami are commonly called millers. The white grub, on the other hand. Is the larva or worm hatch ed from eggs laid by the June or May beetles. The eggs are usually laid in grass, where they hatch in about a 1 - XZ- v a r ik o a t e d cutworm . a. Larva; 5. moth.

When this local trade is firmly estab lished the farmer may better Judge whether It Is advisable to extend bis business, knowing that the larger part o f his products must be sold on como.tA-i slon. and at prices that pay very nar row profits. 1'XK T aintinv In Cellar*. Most farmers put tile eggs down cel lar in summer time, as being the cool est place they can find for them. This. Is all right If the cellar lias been duly cleaned, whitewashed and ventilated, so as to keep Its air pure. But there are conditions lu which eggs In cellars will spoil quite as quickly as in a warmer room upstairs. The egg shell Is porous. I f there are odors of decaying vegeta bles or o f tainted meat in the air, they will penetrate the egg. While the germ will not begin to develop a chirk at the cellar temperature, the presence of tainted air In contact with the egg will cause It to lose its flavor almost at once, and soon become as bad as It Is possible for an egg to be. In such cases the chick dies and its-own decay makes the egg worse than It would otherwise be. Eggs for keeping ought never to be fertilized. The cocks should either be killed off or confined so they cannot get to tbe bens after midsummer. In tills way much trouble will be saved. The hens will lay more eggs, and eggs thus produced Infertile can be easily kept until winter and sold at winter prices. New V arieties o f Wheat. The wheat blossom usually fertilizes Itself, and for this reason new varieties are rarely originated, except by sports. But the crossing o f different varieties may be done artificially by taking oft the stamens from one ear, and care fully depositing on the blossom the pol len o f a different variety. It la not beat to try to cross widely different varie ties, as these would be only mongrels. This seems to be the origin of some neir varieties of wheat which are partly bald and partly bearded. Some have thought these were distinct varieties, but a farmer who saved seed o f each separate, and sowed both, found that the bald and bearded heads appeared In both lots, though the majority o f the grain waa of the klud sown. month, and tbe little grubs feed upon the rootlets o f various plants for the Support for Berry Bathe*.
