The Dallss Beats All.

This city handles more wool direct
from the producer than any city in the
United States. The actual amount of
wool handled every season is astonishing
to any one not acquainted with the facts.
Our warehouses are now crowded to their
full capacity with the product, and ale
most every hour in the day wagons are
being unloaded. Friday there were
about 110e bales sold TO buyers, and the
price ranged from II to 10 cents. This
is the highest paid in any city in the
state, and the reason is that buyers from
all portions of the country congregate at
The Dalles, and competition is very live
ly. In 1888 five million pounds of wool
we're handled by our dealers, and this
summer bids fair to equal that season.
Sheepmen can always receive from one
to two cents more pound for their clip
at The Dalles than any other city, and it
is greatly to their advantage TO sell here.

tion ,oiM U. s. Signal Service, central Office,
Portland, Oregon. For sceek ending June
81, 1890:
The cool, cloudy weather of last week
continued during the present week, and was
accompanied by rains that were general,
except in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson
counties. Generally oyer one inch fell
along the coast and in the Willamette val
ley, while in Eastern Oregon it ranged from
one quarter to an inch. The average June
rain has now fallen, and any more that may
fall will be in excess, though the excess
would yet prove beneficial. If the rains
that have jast fallon had fell four weeks
ago greater good would have resulted. The
rain was, however, very beneficial and was
warmly welcomed by the farmers. The
temperature has been below and the clouds
above the average; both conditions were
favorable to the crops. While no rain fell
in the Umpqua or Rogue River valleys still
the cool, cloudy weather was beneficial.
Rain in these valleys is badly needed.
ALI growing vegetation shows the marked
benefit of the rains, which have given new
life to it all. The fall and early sown
wheat will attain higher stand and the
late sown wheat will at least make good
hay. The rains slightly injured the hay
that was down. Hay is generally reported
to be a short crop. Crops continue to be
promising. The Goblin moth has not ma

Apples and pears are reported most 4

crop of the Grand Ronde valley.
Umatilla county, Wallowa and Grande
Ronde valleys have most fattering pros

benefited the grain prospects of Wasco.
Sherman, Gillian and Morrow counties.
Present indications point to prosperous
year for the agriculturists. Fruits, berries
and hops also promise excellent yields.
The rivers continue to fall. Considerable
snow is reported to be inlthe mountains.

Death on the Trail.
Walla Walla Statesman


We learn that Tom Clark was taken with
a sudden fit of frenzy in Florence one day
last week, and that under its influence he
assaulted Pete Turnbull and slashed his
throat and neck with knife before he was
disarmed and confined. We are further in
formed that he escaped, but was recaptured
and Is now kept in close confinement until
he is rational again -Grangeville, Idaho,
Free Press.
Wednesday afternoon Little George
Shearer arrived here with the dead body of
Tom Clark. He had expressed desire to
come out to Grangeville, and SO he was ac-
companied ont by little George and young
man named Dycer. They camped Tuesday
night at Adams camp and deceased took
nothing for supper but cup of tea. At
breakfast he drank more tea and ate
cracker. lie complained of feeling weak
but insisted on continuing the trip, although
George desired to remain In campuhtil he
felt better. So weak was he that he had TO
be tied into the saddle. Thus the little
procession continued its way over the
lonely Melnor trail, Dycer in front and
Shearer following next and leading the
horse upon which poor Tom was mounted
and riding to his death. At Dead Horse
spring he seemed conscious of the locality
and asked for water, fut the spring was
dry and it was impossible to crafty him.
A little further on George looked around
and noticing that his hands had relaxed
their grasp on the bride he anticipated
something wrong and hailed Dycer, who
was ahead. Upon approaching their patient
they found him dead. Lashing him more
securely in the saddle they hurried forward
with their melancholy burden to Grange
vile, where Coroner Bibby empaneled a
jury and proceeded to hold an inquisition
over the remains, and after hearing the evil
dence as recited above, the jury returned
verdict of death from heart trouble.
Thus died poor Tom Clark, pioneer of
the Florence BASIN, a participant in the
eventful incidents which characterized the
history of that camp, and one of its few
faithful old standbys.

A GENERAL REDUCTION.


OMAHA, June 21.-President Holcomb
has issued an order for a general reduct-
ion of % per cent. in the expenses of the
machinery and mechanical department of
the Union Pacific railroad. In explana-
tion of this action Mr.. Middleton says
that the work is very light because busi-
ness has been reduced to minimum and
there is no excuse for keeping expenses
up when there is hardly anything doing.
1t has been decided to limit the working
days to eight hours. The reduction or
dered cannot be met by simply shortening
the working day, consequently the force is
to be reduced about per cent. This
means that from fifty to sixty men will be
laid off from the shop force in this city,
also proportional number of the forces
at Armstrong, Denver Salt Lake City,
Portland and other places.

Most OF the older citizens. especially
those who live in the Spring Creek and
Block House neighborhoods will remem
Der Mike O'Neal who resided with his
family In this county some seven or eight
years ago. Mikes wife, who was
daughter of Mr.. B. J. Gano, who is well
known throughout the county, was COM
PEELED through constant abuse TO leave
her husband, and about three weeks ago
arrived with her two children from Doug
las, in the Big Bend country, where they
had resided for number of years, and
where they owned good farm and had
accumulated some live stock. Mike was
disslpated wretch before he left here
and.had the reputation of occasionally
giving his wife drubblng, but she clung
to him through it all, and of course he
grew no better, and as time rolled on his
abuse grew more frequent and severe
until finally the little woman, who IS but
a mere shadow of her former self, could
stand it no longer. She took the two
children, therefore, and came to the home
of her parents in this county.
The next evening after Mrs. O'Neal
started away, his body was found
stretched out in the house dead, he having
taken laudanum. The justice of the
peace held an inquest over the remains
and wrote to Mrs. O'Neal, but on account
of some mistake in the address, she did
not get the news for some days, and even
then there was suspicion that it might
possibly be ruse to get her back again.
On last Sunday, however, gentleman
came to Goldendale from Douglas, con-
irming the statement.
Two hundred and eighty-niue dollars
in money was found on the body and it is
said that a good farm and some other
property awaits the arrival of the widow.
We are constrained to both sympathize
with and congratulate the poor woman in
the final termination Of her unfortunate
alliance.

sian empire, though it has crossed the
Vo!ga river and already is causing much
mortality in many towns in Southern
Russia. There is almost panic over 1t at
Odessa, although no cases have been re-
ported in that city. Fears are also ex-
pressed that it will reach Constantinople
by means of traffic from Bagdad, where it
is raging with violence. The extensive
commerce between these two ports and all
parts of the world, including the United
States, renders this probability most
terrible one to contemplate. The emperor
is preparing to put all infected districts
of Southern Russia under strict military
quarantine, hoping thus TO check the
northward and westward advance of the
epidemic.

by the senate, showing increases and re-
ductions in the revenue which are esti-
