THE Shnns.

The removal of the shops from this city
is now complete, and from this time on
the whistle which for so many years has
ronsed our citizens from peaceful s!um.
Der will cease to blow and silence will
reign supreme where once was activity
aud hustle. Many fond remembrance
are connected with the place. Years age,
when as a green, beautiful park, 1t was an
inviting spot for one to sit on hot day
or walk through in recreation on Sunday.
That was in the palmy days of the old o.
S. N. Co, when pleasure could be min
gled with business; but on the ascend
ency of the o. r. Sc N. management,
beauty gave way to work, and the grassy
plots were made the depository of Gin.
ders and gravel, aud the park lives only
in the memory of those who enjoyed its
benefits. The hearts of many old timers
who were here at the beginning of things,
will feel little tad as they think over
the past, and the discontinulng of head
quarters here is to them like the loss of
an old friend. The shops have had
part in the history of The Dalles logger
than most persons suppose. for it is
twenty seven years ago this summer since
they were first located. The old o.
s. N. Company was formed in 1860 and
hogan operations by the building of their
first steamer-the Iddho-now employed
on the Sound. This was an important
one IN the young northwest, for it was
the forerunner of what was going to hap
pen; and the birth of all the mighty bus
mess now done In this part of the coun-
try was with the building of the Idaho.
There had been steamers on the river
before, but this was the first the q. 5. N.
Co. owned. Soon aftei the building of
the Idaho the trade increased to an i'm
mense amount, and steamers were put
upon the upper river and the connection
between The Dalles and Cello was made
BY stage. But the absolute necessity of
the railroad was soon made apparent and
steps were taken for its accomplishment.
With the completion of the portage rail-
road between The Dalles and Cello the
shops were begun-on small scale at
first, but soon increasing to keep pace

with the growing demand made upon il.
Father Harman-now gone to his rest
was the first blacksmith who worked al
the company's shop at The Dalles, for at
first the work only required the attention
of one man. The greater part of the
credit in beautIfying the place was due
TO Frank T. Dodge-the second agent of
the company here. He took an especisl
pride in making it place pleasing to
the eye. Mr.. Dodge, who succeeded
Lawrence Coe as agent, was followed by
Edwin Wood, who in turn was succeeded
by j. S. Schenck. These gentlemen were
the first four agents of the company,
and their administrations extended to the
time OF the absorption of the o. s. N.
Co. by the o. r. 6 N, and with this
change the whole aspect Of the place be-
came different, and of that which once
was the pride of the company only a
small portion is left to testify to Its
beauty and pleasantness.

Oregon State Weather Bureau in CO. opera
tion icith U. s. Signal Service, central Office,
Portland, Oregon. For ,ueek ending july
26. 1890.
The week has been marked by continued
high temperature, ranging from 80 to 20
degrees along the coast, from 4S to 95
degrees In interior valleys and from so to
ITO degrees east of the Cascades. There
has been an entire absence of clouds, except
along the coast, where fogs, as usual, were
frequent. No rain is reported to have
fallen within the state.
The weather has been very favorable to
harvesting operations, which are in full
sway throughout the state The weather
was favorable to late spring grain, hops,
fruit, etc.
The tall wheat is reported to have fine
large, plump berry. As little threshing
has been done SO far the yields cannot be
given. One report from Washington county
says, lone field of go acres has been cut
and threshed which yielded 43 bushels per
acre."
At Gervais, on the oath, tine first wheat
was received at warehouse from Mt Angel;
on the same date last year the first wheat
was received at the same place
1t is estimated that the entire section of
country within twenty miles radius of
Athena, Umatllla county, will yield, on an
average, from 35 to so bushels OF wheat per
acre. In the French prairie, Marion
county, the wheat is generally better and
has larger yield than ever before Crook
county has an increased acreage of wheat,
and they expect to raise sufficient for local
demand. In section south of the Blue
mountains crops are all reported good.
Union county has the brightest of prospects.
Morrow county will have the best grain
crop ever produced Sherman, Gillian and
Wasco counties will haye more than aver.
age crops. The entire Willamette valley
sends in the most excellent reports as to
wheat prospects,, and Southern Oregon will
have fully an average crop
Hors arc l. splendid condition, good
yields and prices are expected.
Large quantities of fruit are being
shipped. Prunes, plums and pears are es-
pecally plentiful. The melon crop will be
large.
The f1attering prospects for bountifnl
harvest indicated the past few weeks are
now about to be realized.

SATURDAYS RACES.
A clustering Day. but n Good Track
and Fine sport.

Those who went to the fair grounds Sat.
urday afternoon-and there were quite a
lot of people there-were well repaid for
their attendance, for they witnessed as good
an afternoons racing as has ever been given
| on this track. There were three events on
the programme-one run and two trots
All were contests, and all contained ele-
ments of first class sport. The first race
was the match race-a half.mile dash run
ming, for 500, between Johnny Gomez's
bay mare, Sylba A, and G. E. Smiths
black gelding, Black Bob. The horses
came to the post about 2.30, aud right here
we want to say that too much credit cannot
be given to Mr.. Andy Allen for the fine
condition in which he had his track, and
the time made in this race will show that
The Dalles race track was in first-class con.
dition Saturday. In the drawing for posi-.
tions Sylba A got the inside. and starter
Allen had bat little trouble in getting the
horses of, as at the second attempt they
got the word to a beautiful start. Sylba A
took the lead at once. though close pressed
by Bob, and both rau in this position to the
quarter pole, when Smith on Bob was seen
to move up on Sylba and they climbed the
hill together, neck and neck. As they
turned In to the home stretch Allen called
on the little mare and she responded
quickly showing about half length iu
front of the black as they came tearing
down the stretch. Smith piled whip aud
spur, but all to no purpose, FOR after a
fighting finish Allen landed Sylba A under |
the wire winner by half length In the |
good time of 551 seconds. This for three
year-old, with only weeks training, We
call a remarkable performance.

that it is possible to calculate with some
accuracy what the crop will be, and it is
acknowledged that the grain crop

raised since 1885. Considerable OF the fall
grain was injured by frost and dry weather
in May, hence it will not yield much of
harvest, but the rains the last Of June and
first of July brought out the spring grain In
line shape, and even that which was injured
BY frost will make a fair CROP Farmers
now estimate there will be enough oats,
barley and rye threshed in the county to
supply the home demand, and of wheat
here will be probably enough to furnish
about two-thirds of the flour that will be
in the county for the Aext year.

greatest which has visited Lawrence since
the fall and burning of the Pemberton
mills, thirty years ago. South Lawrence
is busy railroad junction, and in vlcin-

and among these the cyclone spent Its
greatest fury. The northern boundary

throng of thousands of workers, showing
how narrow was the escape from a more
appalling loss of life and property. The
air was hot and humid, dark clouds sour
