Pillsbury, the great miller of Minheajxlitf, .thinks the wheat crop of the United States will not exceed 500, 000,000 bushels as against 612,000,000 bushels last year. The Chicago Herald frantically shrieks: "What shall we do with the people next year?" referring to the world's fair crowd. To this the St. Paul Globe, evi dently aware of the Chicagoan nature, replies: "Vhy, skin 'em, of course!" Al Sayre of Olex was in town Sunday. He just returned from a pleasant visit to the home of his childhood in Ralls coun ty, Mo.

We under stand Mr. Mason's assessment work was found to be in excellent condition, there being only one or twoslight changes that needod adjusting. The law suit of the state of Oregon vs. Ernest Seekamp for obstructing a pub lic highway, finally terminated last week by Squire Clark imposing a line of 550 upon Mr. Seekamp.

If the man is satisfied and the girl is satlsllod, we Miove in letting them go, Gallagher, Recently a terrible wind and rain storm swept over parts of Minnesota causing the destruction of $1,000,000 worth of property. Hot winds are de stroying the crops in a number of the Eastern states. The Pacific coast does not sutler from such climatic freaks, al though we have an occasional partial failure of crops. Condon cannot very much longer be overlooked by capitalists who arc seek ing first-class locations for mills and fac tories. Nearly every mail brings us let ters of inquiry from capitalists in the East who desire to Invest their money in projierty that is on the increase in value. We know of no more suitable place in the West in that direction than Condon. One of our exchanges, under the head of "Dumping them into America," last week says: "A morning paper announ ces that McDonnell and Hill, who were accomplices of Bidwell in the bank for geries of 1873, were released on condi tion that they leave the country never to return. Both started for America on being released." These gentlemen are not the only ones who have been "dump ed into America" on those conditions. Dr. Tlios. Stewart and son Lee started this week with a band of extra good horses for Decatur, Wise county, Texas, where the doctor and his family resided for many years, and where several of his daughters yet reside. Lee expects to return at once, but bis father will remain several weeks with bis rela tives. He informs us that he expects to disposed all bis stock and try to live free from care the balance of his days, which rest he has well earned and de serves. , Ed McBroom of Rock creek was in j town Friday with a load of A. A. Car others' fruit and vegetables, which, for size and excellence, can not be beaten anywhere. Mr. Carothers sent his re gards to the Glome in the shape of a box of as fine peaches and plums as we ever saw, the peaches each being nine inches in circumference. He has 1200 acres of choice creek land, of which about 300 are under cultivation. His orchard com prises only ten acres, but the yield of fruit therefrom is enormous. Albert Smith a young man of 18, and a resident of Caleb, was brought to town Monday by Thos. Mote and lodged in the county jail. He had his preliminary examination before Justice Snow of Day ville last week, upon the charge of lar ceny of a horse and disfiguring of brand. The horse was the property of Ralph Fisk and was stolen - sometime in the summer. Alter disfiguring the brand young Smith' traded the horse to Thos. Mote. At the preliminary hearing Smith plead guilty to the charge and was plac ed under $300 bond to appear before the grand jury, in default of w hich he now languisheth. Grant County News. Sheriff Wilcox arrived home Saturday with the elopers Scott Alderson and May Newman. Monday he took Mr. Al derson over to Fossil, w here his prelimi nary examination has been in progress since Tuesday. The prosecution is con ducted by H. II. Hendricks and the de fense by Geo. W. Goode. From onr brief acquaintance with Mr. Alderson we judge him to be a gentleman of educa tion and refinement, who doubtless would provide a good home and make a comfortable living for the lady. If they want to marry, and there seems to be no doubt of this, by all means let them marry. We fail to see the benefit or ad vantage to be gained from prohibiting their marriage. The case is a needless expense to the county. Thousands of as good women as can lie found in the coun try have married at Miss Newman's age. Let them marry and go. . ' ; -a - . Disastrous Fire, Bukciiek Flat, Aug. 20. Saturday morning about 8 :S0 o'clock B. K. Searcy's large barn burned, to gether with a large quantity of feed. It seems to be mystery how the fire orig nated. Mr. Searcy and son were return ing from where they had been building fence and discovered the lire bursting from the windows in the barn. Mrs. Searcy was visiting a sick neighbor, and it was only by the most determined ef forts that the flames were kept from spreading to tho house.' A large stack of straw also burned, and had assistance not arrived just when it did a number of cows would have perished. Several bogs were burned to death, also a lot of chickens. J. M. Curl was pretty badly singed while saving the gang plow. Part of several sets of harness was saved but considerable grain was destroyed. Tho loss will fall heavily upon Mr. Sear cy, as his crop was light anyway, and ho was just preparing for the threshers. Gkaxokk. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank, - through .the col umns of the (iLOHKf our neighbors who so kindly assisted in saving our house during the unfortunate tire Saturday.

Every vacant room in town has already been engaged. Our school will begin about the middle of September. , Mat Halverson and John Madden re turned Tuesday from the Eightmile sec tion. They bought a lot of wheat over there at 50 per bushel and say there are doodles of it left, at the same price. This does not look mnch like a crop fail ore in Eastern Oregon. Rye is selling at 75c jier bushel and first-class grain hay at $8 snd $10 per ton. John M. Brown sold about 500 head of the culls of his ewe band of sheep this week to R. G. Robinson, at $2.25 per head. Several other sheep deals have beeu made about here witnin the last week, which shows that our stockmen are not alarmed at the sheep outlook. Perhaps they expect a change of admin istration and a new deal on tariff' re form. . Cowboy. o- . ' Pictures Enlarged.
