following figures, which have been kindly fur
nished us: Wheat, 81, 9S4; oats, Ii, 800; barley,

Mr. S. T. Dering, from Anderson, Indiana,
spent several days in town during the week
looking for a suitable building in which to es-
tablishing roller skating rink. An effort Is
being made to secure the Spear building, and
should it prove successful an addition of forty
feet will be made to the present building, a
hard wood floor put in, and other improve
mapts made which will render it suitable for
the purpose, Should the Spear building not
be secured, 1t Is probable the building formerly
occupied by D. p Baldwin will bo secured and
fitted up. Mr.. Dering expects to be ready to
open about the first of December Mr.. Dering
left on the train yesterday for Portland, where
he has a brother residing, and viii return |p d

T0-lnorroW afternoon at o'clock will be
held mass convention to select candidate to
represent The first district in the board of
county commissioners. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that there will he present representa-
tives from the different sections of the district
and that hayAoNy viii pfesail in the selection
OF the candidate, The probabilities are that
whoever Is selected will DO elected without op-
position, and consequently great care should
be exercised in selecting candidate properly
qualified to fill the position. 1t should be re-
membered that whoever is selepisd will serve
for shgao years. The PIONEER takes the lib
erty OF suggesting the name Of a gentleman
who 1t believes will meet all the requirements
Of this responsible position; a large farmer, he
will be directly aud deeply iutegeste4 lu an
ecsaaMle administration Of tie affairs of The
county; gentleman who has for many years
been aetvalv Engaged in business, he is tho
roughly conyersant with business methods,
and would bring to bear a practical experience
that would be beneficial to his ecooHstltuepts; q
gentleman who has no personal aims ar am.
bitions to subserte, his time and attention will
be devoted to advancing the best interests Of
the county. We allude to Mr.. j. L. Wilcex
Should the convention select Mr.. Wilcox, We
believe there will be no cause to regret the Sc.
lection.
