Sunshine follows the rain.
There was light fall of snow on Tygt
idge last night.
Mr.. M. Thorburn, of Kingsley, has been
in the city for the past two days.
More acreage will be plowed and sowed
to grain this fall than during any previous
year.
Wheat still continues to pour into this
city, and to be unloaded at Rockland,
WASH, from wagons.
Strangers visiting the city note with great
satisfaction the substantial roadway being
constructed from the Regulator landing to
Second street.
The muddy streets are not appreciated by
the ubiquitous small boy. He cannot play
marbles or spin tops, and, like Othello, his
occupations gone.
There is large pile of wood in front of
the recorders's office, and this will act as a
more formidable threat to hoboes and
tramps than the bars of prison cell.
VIM. Luce, of Grant county, is dead. He
was a pioneer citizen of Grant county, To-.
eating on the John Day river, in the early
days of 80, when the excitement IN the
Canyon City goldlmines was at its highest.
By reason of the high prices paid for
wheat this season and the bountiful rain
this fall farmers in this and adjoining
counties feel very much encouraged, and
look forward very hopeful to the harvest of
next year.
The farmers of Eureka Flat near Walla
Walla, are making efforts to procure an ar.
tesian well for irrigation purposes. If they
succeed it will be long step In advance for
the agricultural interests in many localities,
for it will induce ventures in that direction.
Several hundred gold hunters have al
ready arrived in Harney City, and the busi-
ness men are receiving letters of inquiry by
every mail from Baker, Boise, The Dalles,
Portland and other towns, wanting every
imaginable kind of information about the
discoyerIes.
Items: From DIR. Embree we learn that
man by the name of Barnes. raised nine
acres of wheat that averaged 72 bushels per
acre. These who think that wheat cannot
be raised in Harney county can divide the
figures by two, and yet find that the yield
would be sufficient.

change, where those desiring to liquIdate
can always find something choice. In the
line of cigars none but the best in the
market are kept on sale.
A surveying party and two wagon loads
of outfit crossed the river this morning for
work on the Washington side. We do not
know whether they are in the employ of the
Paul Mohr company, the Portland Chamber
of Commerce or the Grand Dalles land
boomers. Their plan of operations was not
known.
Mr.. John Antony, of La Grande, is in
the city. He was formerly IN the employ
of Mr.. A. Buchler; but for the past year
has been in the confectionery business in
Union county. John is about to do the
act of his life-wed. the girl of his

friends will extend to MIN their best wishes.
Globe: Condor is badly in need OF a good
attorney. We venture to make the asser-
tion that there Is no better locs tion on the
Pacific coast for good lawyer than at Con-
don. The town Is without an attorney,
and it is the county seat of one of the best
counties IN the state; is growing more rap
idly than any other town IN the country,
and is certain to be the best town In the
Inland Empire within five years.
A poor, ,inebriated individual was dragged
to the city Jail this afternoon, and throng
of anxious, curious boys. who had not lived
long enough to he in their teens, followed
to the door. This street education is very
and To make our boys and glris
familiar with disgusting misdemeanors is to
make them lose all adherence for them.

The Oregon City Enterprise complains
because that city has no COW law. 1t says
"Oregon City has population OF 5000, be-
ing larger than Eugene, Albany or The
Dalles, all of which have cow laws, while
the cows run at large in the Falls City and
make havoc generally with shrubbery and
ieface streets and sidewalks. Clackamas,
although joining Portland, must be one of
the ''cow countries" 1t Is true we have a
cow ordinance; but it is far from being like
the law of the Medes and Persians. Its ex
stence is known to few.

F. Huebener, a resident of one of the Rhine
provinces. These two men were made good
American citizens by simple stroke of the
pen, and, hereafter they can hurrah for
the stars and stripes and scream with the
American eagle as loud as any one. Such
actions are advisable, and If these and all
others on becoming American citizens will
vote for protection and the Republican
party they will be entitled to the applause
IF their fellow citizens.
