The o. r. d n. Co. announces that
on and after August lst, there will be
reduction on wheat, flour, oats and
barley from Walla Walla and adjacent
points to Portland. This grinding
monopoly has now for three years in
succession, without any demand from
the people, voluntarily reduced freights
ON the Columbia river, and although it
is an immense corporation it has more
than once demonstrated that it has a
soul. 1t is to be hoped that the coun-
try may never have greater cause for
complaint than they now have, and the
people may yet be happy.

that the denomination Of Thos. Fl.

Crops in every part of the country
tributary to the Columbia river are in
fine condition and promise a repetition
of the abundant harvests of last year.
The acreage in eastern Oregon and
Washington is not so extensive as in
1879, but in the Willamette valley it
IS greater and entirely free from the
rust which then ruined so many fields.
The grasshoppers in eastern Washing
ton have not disastrously affected crops,
as was feared earl ~ in the season, their
ravages having been confined to few
localities unimportant as affecting the
general results of the year. A few
fields have been blighted in that sec
tion by hot winds, but this damage has
been simply local and trivial.

Lesp-Year Hints

Girls know only one quarter as
much about courting as bJys, because
ttey have only one year 10 every
four to pat it into practice
As a matter of course, leap year
finds them poorly prepar, to step
in and win,' and we will give few
hints as to how it should be done.
Firs., fix up in style, black your
boots carefully, heels and ell, and II
the shine don't come in q hurry,
slap the brush across the room into q
corner, qaotiag what scripture you
happen to know.
Twill be big job to put on your
collar and necktie, and the chances
are that there will be more looking
in the glass than in the fellow COM
ing to see you.
Stroll down to the barber shop and
get shaved, and have the barber oil
up freely, otherwise oil efforts to
grease the wall paper will be futile
Ga the way to his hoose speak to
all the fellows you know; this is
good point and the only way to
pay him back for flirting with the
girls.
As you near the house, cross the
street and pass by it This will give
a chance TO see il the parior is light
ed and to surmise if any other girl ia
calling.
If. when you step up and pull the
door bell your heart is not in your
mouth. you've struck the wrong
house
Inquire if the young gentlemen are
in, aud-don't forget to wear your
bat, hang it up on the piano. or the
hoor, or some other place.
Chew cloTes assidiously during the
call, otherwise 'he' may think you
are drinking.
If be is little, tiuid blushing thing,
talk about the weather, his ma, or pa,
and distant objects.
If ne plays and sings, stand up
Ike little msa and turn the music
we don't refer - an orguinette.
He'll probably yawn and cover op
an immense cape with his iewelled
hand but don't take the hint.
Play yfully turn the gas down hell
probably say. oh. you shouldn't
bat recollect how be doused the glim
last year.
You dOn't need 10 say much at this
point. Conversation is apt to be Q
nuisance at critical juaclnres.
Previous experience will doubtless
suggest the course of events for the
rest Of the evening.
When the old lady calls out, Tt's

she calls eleven and twelve; in fact,
stay till you hear the milkman rat
