OAKsDALE INKLINGs.
The Crops Turning Ont Weli-The
Country Very Prosperous.

OAKsDALE, Wash.,> Aug. 2G.-The
weather Las turned oil cool. This makes
IL good on the harvesters.
The smoke has all disappeared, but IL
has again returned and enveloped very
thing.
We had another dust storm last Fri
day. They are caused by so many
roads, SO much travel and the prairie
grass all being broke up and eaten oil,
leaving nothing but the bare, dry
ground and when the wind blows hard
the dust mast fly.
Grain has been coming in at Il lively
rate the past eight or ten days. Tho
best that IL offered is 50centsper bushel,
but there is none selling; all is being
stored, but no doubt there will be live
ly competition between the two elevator
companies and others, as we have the
two roads to the coast and the two sea-
board cities that will want the grain.
Onksdalo will get there as the leading
grain market, and don't you forget it.
Everybody feels clated to see by the
REvItw that the citizens of the magic
city are determined to rebuild on much
grunder scale than ever before, Three
years ago We made the assertion that it
would reach thirty thousand in five
years and now we know that IT will hold
good, and We now say that in less than
twenty years IL will be the largest inland
city in the United States not having a
lake or navigablc stream.
Tho public wells that have been dug
are a perfect success, none exceeding a
depth OF sixteen feet, and almost filed
to the top with water. Now what the
| town lacks is good fire engine to fight
| lire.
The o. II. e n. well has been dug to u
/ depth OF forty feet and has but little
water. 1t seems "A little strange as il il
but short distance from the town wells.
| Oaksdale still keeps improving at II
wonderful rate, in spite of all VIC can do
| like the water that keeps going to the
coming to Oaksdalc, and IL is bound to
reach It's eight or ten thousand in ten
years.
Steam thrashers are all around town
and all are reporting the yield to be much
better than expected. The lowest yield
heard Of Is twelve bushels per acre and
the largest thirty. Any country that
can make such a crop as we have got
with ground wet only to depth of two
feet when the grain was put in, and the
small amount of rain IN June, is GOOD
one. 1t cannot be equaled on the glob,
and think that all should feel Thankful
that they are blessed with the privilege
.of being located in such bountiful ant
productive country.
The chickens are moulting very early
this year, so now look out for an early
and cold winter; that's the Dutch sign.
Hay is in good demand at $15 per tor
on board of cars
The republican primary met last Sat
urday and nominated four delegates tt
the county convention to be held at Col
fax Thursday, the 20th.
i | hope the REVIEW will still keel
working to get more mills located at tn,
Falls. With such a water power the Fall
should never stop until 1t has enough
mills to grind all the grain that is raise,
in the inland empire and keep all th
otial Mt home, as II will all be needed 70
feed; and then IL does not pay to shi
oiial to Europe, which we do when w
send the wheat
, While the REVIEW is agitating tn
question of the Indians taking land il
severalty, don't forget that we have tn
CGur dAlene reservation near by, witt
, thousands of acres of as choice land a
, can be found anywhere, with q handful
of Indians holding control of all of i,
} They have no use for one-third of 1t, bu
} hundreds of whites would make goo,
homes OF it'll they could get it,and max
more business.
