The Daily Reporter. D. ('. IRELAND A CO. PCBLISHEKS. McMinnville, Or. - Sept. 9, 1886 For Blue Vitriol go to Geo. W. Burt’s. Geo. W. Snyder is in the city on a visit. Thos. Kay, now of Sheridan, took in the fair. Astoria and Salem are closely to gether to-day. J. T. Fink had three squashes at the fair, which weighed 213 tt>s. That cotton boll in bloom, at the fair, belonged to J. F. Rowland. Mrs. I. C. Terry presented her better half with a 131b. daughter this a. m. Astorians are dredging for wharf room. Revive the old sea wall topic Bro. Halloran. In Washington city you can ride fif ty miles for twenty-five cents. Here it costs J2.00 to get to Portland. Prof. Price has returned to the city, after an absence of three months, to again take charge of our public school for the ensuing year. As special agent of the Northwest Fire and Marine Insurance company, R. R. Roper is in the city. He wishes to appoint an active local agent here. W. H. Samuels, of Corvallis, has been appointed manager of the branch Western Union telegraph office. We understand that Will Lougharvof this city is at Corvallis station temporarily. Polk county warehouses are all full and trains «are pressed to release the surplus. A good deal of shipping will have to occur in order to accommodate the crop on this side of the Wallamet. The Salem Statesman says : The brick block will be built. So will the bridge. The tournament will be a success. So will the fair. Let’s brace up and look prosperity square in the face. A hailstorm in the Waldo hills played hob with hops last Sunday. Think of it ; almost as “surprising” as the earthquake at Charleston; the artesian spout in Iowa, or lightning near Chicago. If this paper suits you for a bit a week we shall appreciate the favor of your subscription ; we have no inonej’ to lose in the venture; if it pays its way another column will be added, and another ; if not perhaps not. The quality is surely as fair as the rate. Following the rain last week several farmers sowed their fallow land to wheat. Jas. Flett and family are yet in this city from their pleasant mountain home, at Jones A Co.’s Nestucca mills. Edwards is the boss bill poster. His work always shows for itself whether under ground in wells, on top in gar dens, etc., or above, on dead walls. Salem and Oregon city are booming their towns, so the Appeal asks : ’ Why can’t Silverton have a state normal school. What is to hinder it ; or, a woolen mill, or a new tailor, or a clothes-pin factory, or a tannery. Wake up, and let's boom the city, what d’ye say?” No more perfect weather could be imagined than that which has succeed ed the slight rain storm of last week. If it lasts until after the Salem fair it will be a valuable auxiliary in lifting that concern out of debt. Clear weath- is reported to-day from every point east of the Cascades. Not a drop of rain has fallen during the past thirty hours. Capt. Lafollett, our legislator-elect, has suffered for years with severe pains in the abdomen and been under medical treatment in Portland, at the springs and in Salem, Lately he ex tracted from a swelling and gathering a piece of quartz, one side of it almost as sharp as a razor. He is greatly re lieved and now hopes for complete recovery. Thomas Stevens, who is making the tour of the world on a bicycle, has sent a dispatch from India saying that he will start across India from Lahore, a city on the grand trunk highway that leads through Delhi, Agra. Luck now, ratna.and other cities, to Calcut ta. This road is the greatest mac adam in the world, reaching clear from Calcutta to Peskawar. a distance of 1,800 miles. An artesian well in Iowa gushed up with such fury August 31st, that it has since Hooded the whole country for miles about, and all attempts to stop it by the most scientific engineer ing skill is baffled. It is thought that but little if anything can be done to stop the flow of water, but that it may be possible to direct two large rivers formed by it into less dangerous di rections and confine them to their channels.
