The next trip be wilt probably bring the balance of the legal voter of hi county. Ftateman. The election Saturday for the purpose of bonding the nchool district in the sum of l 000, panned off aerenely. Only 18 vote were polled and all were in favor of the bond, there being no opposition whatever.

The Dalles pay the highest price for wheat of any place east of the moun tain. While only 25 and 20 cent a bushel have been paid at other points the market here baa never ranged lower than !50 cent. Times-Mountaineer. J. A. Span Ming arrived home Friday from Austin, Grant county, where he pastured hi sheep during the summer.

These enterprising gentle men care enough for your trade to auk for it in the proper manner, and anyone trading at Arlington will llnd it to their advantage to pntronige the new store. ' The Glour return thank to Frank Palmer of Ajax for a box of a fine plums, several varieties, as we have ever m-en. They were raised on his high bunchgrass farm, without irrigation, which apeak volumes for this section as a fruit country and the fertility of ' our soil. i t This seems to l a good year for school mam's to abandon single cussednesH. Nearly all the ladies who have lnen married in this county within the lata year were school mam's. There aeems to be quite a boom in marriages this fall, which probably ia an indication of a cold winter. ' , Rev. IS. Curran was the busiest niRn In the comity Bnnday last. An 10:30 ih the morning he preached at Condon ( at 1 o'clock p. m. he married Zimri Ebbert and Miss Hertlm Johnson; at 4 p.m. he married Rcuhe Mcivinnoy arid MNa Carrie Itoyer on Heoeher Flat, after get ting lost and going severul miles out of bis way; and in the evening ho preach ed at Condon as though nothing had happened. The final argument In the Hogan divorce case are finished and the paper have been forwarded to Judge Brad sbaw. ' This case is not what it seems on it face; it 1 In reality a suit for pos sesion of the child. The divorce is a secondary consideration and cut very little figure in the matter, a neither party is particularly anxious for a legal separation. No county superintendent of schools should vote for a change of textbooks under the law . now set in motion by state department of education, manipu lated by Superintendent McElroy, The proposition Is an outrage on the people, w bo are already taxed to their otmost to support the government and educate their children. The school books now jo use are good enough for present pur poses at least. Jacksonville Time. Mr, Win, Cornett and wife, their son Frank and bis family and Mis May Powell, a sister of Frank' wife, arrived here last week from Albany, having driven across the mountains. The old gentleman and his wife have been stop ping at the home of their sons near Al bany the last year or to, but will now reside on their homestead five miles east of Condon. The others will return home to Albany after a couple of weeks visit here. Borne people have an idea that the text book of the public schools are like ly to tie changed soon. Before January 1, 1805, the school superintendents of the states are to vote on the question of adopting new text books, but they are not likely to favor the change, and in fuct many of them were elected with the understanding that they were op posed to the change, and even should the vote be favorable to a change it could not take effect before the fall of 18U5. You can't make a Chinaman in town believe the Japs aro getting the best of the war. We told a Mongolian here the other day, the outline of the dispatches received here by the American press, giving an account of the victories of the Jap on land and sea. The Celestial wouldn't have it that wav. He said "Melican paper no tabby; beep talkee d n lie. China paper alle lite; be say Jap not in It. Whatta Malta? CHset China soldier be do 'em up out o' sight; see? Guard. , A! Sayre of Rock creek was in town Tuesday, lie Informed us thut be has just disposed of all hia worldly posses sions, except bis homestead, and that he and bis wife intend to move back to their old home near MadUonville, Mo., the first of next month. He sold his cattle, about 50 head to Win. Hunt. At has done well financially since he came to this county and we'll bet our last! year's old bat that he w ill move back to Gilliam again within a year. In fact Al think o himself. A successful Indiana farmer and stock j raiser says: "I have not aold a bushel : of wheat for four year. I feed It all on! the farm. I rotate my stock, fatten cat- j tie in the spring, when the paature in abundant; hogs in the summer and fall, when they take on the most lard, und late lambs daring the winter, when they can always lie bought cheap, and they nibble straw instead of gnawing out the roots in my pasture land. I always fat ten my stock on wheat, and from ex perience consider it from 20 to 40 per cent cheaper than corn. Wheat is worth B0 cents per bushel on the farm for feed ig." V w An Interesting little rallle took place at Darling' drug store Saturday evening, which afforded a gixid deal of amusement for 'the boyB. A very pretty hanging lump was "put up" for fO.50, at (Mc a chance. The eontest was decided by each throwing three dice three times, the aggregate of w hich can not amount to over 64. The highest number thrown was 37, by the editor of this family paper, who carried ofT the persimmons also the lamp. Two lamps,' more ex pensive, w ill tie rallied olf in the same manner tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock at the drug store. The colony of immigrants, who recent ly arrived in Grande. Ronde from the drouthy and hlixxard-ridden East, have no reservation Id their expressions of delight in regard to Eastern Oregon, says an exchange. One of them struck the key note in reference to the low price of grain and other products when he said it was better for a country to have plenty of produce and take chance; on the market than to have plenty of market and tako chance, on .a crop. Thia is the situation precisely. This country adbrds the cerU4ntv ofa'pood living, and those w ho do not have plenty to eat in a country so prolific as this have only themselves to blame. Our school directors have engaged the services of Prof. 0. U.Parker, who has been principal for several years of the Indian school at Cheinawa, Marion county, this state, to teach the Condon school this winter. Prof. Parker is a thoroughly experienced teacher, having taught for the last thirteen years, prin cipally in Dakota, w here be resided be fore coming to Oregon. He has held the prinelpulwhip of a number of the leading schools of Dakota and 1ms held the posi tion of school Snpt. several terms, Our citizens are to be congratulated upon their success in securing the services of one of the best instructors on the coast. Prof. Parker Is expected here this week, and if so school. will commence next Monday. However, it may be possible ' Uui 'ho will not get here in time to be gin ti'Hi'hmj before n!voek from Mon ! day. We have not learned whether an assistant will be employed or not. A dispatch from Portsmouth, Ohio, on the Ohio river, states that the skele ton of a giant baa been found in Ken tucky, twelve mile south of that place. The skeleton is eight feet in height and four feet across the shoulder. A Tillamook young roan ninateen years ( of ago had never seen a railroad train until ha recently boarded one at Forest Grove and rode to Portland. He is said to have grasped the back of the seat very bfird whenever a fence was ap proached, thinking the train would have ti jump over it. R.I'i. Lindsay pawed through town Sundai on his way from Portland to bis home near Mayville. He requests the flj,0JiB to contradict the malicious state ment I he Fossil paper made in a recent ifSue, stating that he had intended to sell out here and reside permanently in ah i i. Mr. Lindsay says he never qntertaiued eucb an idea, and that the item in queftion appeared in urual bis creditor have caused tin end of trouble by requesting a fcient "before he move away." indsay informs us that his w ife is ring as rapidly a possible, and k awe to come nome in a snort He says two tumors weighing pound were removed from her, that the attending physicians say Lindsay never had appendicitis. nformation calls our attention to ron iMMiu tn at appearea in tne at recently concerning the disease DO v.

He went in company with N. Baird and W. E. Fowler. He reports an abundance of game and fish. He says they killed all the game they could use and bad an excellent time. Messrs. Baird and Fowler havfe not yet returned, but are prospecting some and having a general good time. A Traveling Mountain. A traveling mountain is found at the Cascades of the Columbia. It is a tripple-peaked mass of dark brown ba salt, six or eight miles in length where it frouts the river, and rises to a height of almost 2000 feet above the water. That it is in motion is the last thought that would be likely to suggest itself to the mind of anv one passintt it; yet it is a well established fact that, this entire! mountain is moving, slowly but steadily, i down to the river, as if it had a deliber- ate purpoce some time in the future to dam the Colombia and form a great lake from the Coscades to The Dalles. , In itn forward and downward move ment the forest along the base of the ridge has beeotne submerged in the river. Large tree btuinne can be seen standing dead in the water on this shore. The railway engineers and brakemen find that the line of railway that skirts the foot of the mountain is being con tinually forced out of place. At certain points the permanent way and rails have been pushed eight or ten feet out of line in a few years. Geologists attribute this strange phe nomenon to the fact that the basalt, which constitutes the bulk of the moun tain, rests on a substratum of conglom erate or saft Bandstand, which the deep, sw ift current of the mighty river is con stantly wearing away, or that thia softer subrock is of itself yielding at great depths to the enormous weigth of the harder mineral above. Goldwail'a Geo graphical Magazine. The Portland Telegram contradicts a portion of the aliove, as follows: The length of the mountain is not six or eight miles, as stated. It has in re ality a river' frontage of about one-half mile. It is not L'000 feet high, nor one quarter that height, being more proper ly a very large hill. Its movement to ward the river is exceedingly slow, its estimated "best time" being about one inch a month or a foot each year. Un less its descent becomes much more rapid there is little donner of the Columbia river being obstructed, as the debris is washed away by the swift cur rent just below the falls. As it is be low the Cascade rapids, there is no pos sibility of its causing the formation of a lake between The Dalles and the Cas cades, as the writer in Goldwail's Maga zine apprehends.
