" We learn that at the Mayville races last week John Putnam's little "Miss McfClnley" scooped in all the persiuv inons. This little mare seems to thor oughly understand that the best way of all to win a race is the eood old way of taking the lead from the start and keep ing it all the way through. That system has never been know a to fail in a foot race, either. Miss Llizle DeMoea It not recovering from her gunshot wounds as rapidly, a e and everyone expected, and all of (he troupe are still here yet.

Hat that water works project fallen through already? If we remember right, at a meeting of our cltlsens only a month or so ago It was decided to make tome provision for protection against fire. There Is something like $1000 or more lying idle in the city treasury here that could not be put to better use than in that manner. It is a poor plan to wait until half or all of the town I burned out before putting In water work. A dispatch from Oregon City to the Oregonian say : "Walter Wyland, who escaped from the county jail a year ago last New Year' eve, turned np in this county some dayt ago, after having had considerable experience in Eastern Ore gon. An officer arrested him at Mar quaro, and accepted a bond In the turn of 500 for bit pretence here at the Nov. term of court.

Charley ha also bought the small dwelling bouse, just back of it, from Mrt. Sophia McKinney, of Goldendale Mr. Fix i showing by his actions that he has abundant faith in the town by investing his money In property here, and ia setting a good example for others. If the business men refuse to invest .money In tbeir town property, certainly no outsiders can be expected to do so. Good Times Here at Last. Everybody rejoices at the return of prosperity again, which had become a stranger to these parts for several years. No one it more elated oyer it than it the Oregonian, which hat just solicited re liable Information from every county in thit state on the subject and tbe cheer ing news comes from every nook and corner that Oregon la more prosperous just now than it has been for a number of years. Some one from Arlington furnished the Oregonian with the follow ing information, which appeared in the issue of Oct. 2d : "As compared with the past four years, the business of this year shows a marked Increase in all lines. Not only bus tbe number of busness houses been increased but the volume of business -of each in dividual firm' shows a gain of not less than 60 per cent. For the month of September the business, as compared with September, 1800, has more than doubled,' One firm reports sales for the year 1807 up to September aggregating $75,000, the greatest amount of sales for any one month In years. In July, the sales amounted to $14,000. Other busi ness house report a steady increase in trade. - It it expected that this will prove the best year since 1801 for all branches of trade. Much more freight la received at tbe station every month than has been hauled at this point in a number of years. The next few months will show still greater business improvement. Up to the present time no more than 36,000 bushel of wheat have been sold at this point, and over 1,000,000. bunhels of the valuable product ia always in the sack, which must find a market here. Some idea may be formed from these figures of the vast volume of business which must be transacted during the fall and winter. Every tradesman is adding to his stock, with the intention of supplying buyers with all goods re quired in his line." ' -o ' A roan never becomes thoroughly de praved and beyond the hope of redemp tion, until he begins to make excuses for attending a circus. Ex. Olex Explosion. There are plenty of good work horse for tale cheap, at Olex, MrL II Pretty man expects to ttart toon for Pullman to apend tbe winter.

He think Olex will luit him and he will (tart in in tbe spring. Miss Maude Smith and Elite Backus started last week fur the Willamette val ley, where they will attend school thit winter. The road supervisor it in the north end looking after the roafla, which are getting in very bad shape. They ought to be strewed clear through. Albert Miller has received a letter from his sister in St Paul, saying that ber husband is in poor health and they expect to come to Gilliam county toon to reside. Mr McNamee, salesman for Murphy, Grant it Co., of San Francisco, was in Olex over Sunday and sold a large bill of good here. Mr McNamee reports better sales all over Oregon this year than previously. Mr Sargent and family, who have lived in lieppner for the past twenty-five years, stopped in Olex Sunday night. They are on their way to Mt Tabor, in East Portland. Mr Sargent traded his Heppner property for a beautiful home at Mt Tabor. There is some talk of again trying to get a county road through from Olex, south to Clem. Thit It a much-needed road and one that would benefit tbe public and the residents along the route, most of whom have said they would give the right of way. Quite a number of wattons were in Olex last week, returning to the Valley from tbe net i'erce reservation. Tney say they did not like it there. Mr W S Testerman ia on hit way np there now. Verily, the world It loll of dissatisfied people, tome of whom would kick if they were to be hanged. Lone Rock Rumblings, Born, to the wife of Henry Neel, last week, a daughter. Some lambs are changing hands here at $1.00 per bead. Nat Webb of Walla Walla came down a few days ago to look after his large sheep interests here. We had some very heavy thunder and lightning last week, accompanied by heavy rain in tome localities. IDS boys put in most ol their-spare time now playing foot ball, and intend to give tbe Condon boys a chance to play ball tome of those days. W il Col well and family moved to Ar lington last Wednesday, where they will remain permanently for a year or two. R M Johnson has charge of his ranch. Some of our sports were out bear hoot ing the first of the week. The dogs were all right, but the men wer'nt, so the only thing tbey "killed" was some vain able time. W C Brown has 70 of bis mules ready to Bhip and will start with them in few days. He expects to take about 80 head and will go to Missouri tbe land of "Pukes." P L Ham baa freight teams on tbe road all tbe time now, hauling goods for bis store. His low prices and square dealing has built up an enormous busi' ness, and is increasing right along. Everybody aigned tbe petition for tbe new road out of Lone Rock in the west end of the valley. We expect have a good road by next spring some thing badly needed, as there is not decent road leading out of this place present. Arlington Items. at Mrs E B From it in Portland visiting with her daughter, Mrs O II Bressler.

Miss Ricks and sister will leave this week for The Dalles, where Miss R has secured a position as day operator. Her many friends regret to see her leave. We also understand that Mr Clinton will leave In a day or so. There are some women who are for ever talking about being "insulted." Did you ever notice the class that are subject to insult? Well, 00 per cent of the insults are offered only to those who by a stare or a wink or some peculiar move invite the Insult. The moment a woman forgets she is a lady, others, too, forget it. If von conduct yourself as a lady you need never fear au insult. Ex. Public Sale.
