Farmers Elated.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 15.-The local
wheat market to-day is in booming
condition. The city is full of farmers
who reported the grain yields as greatly
exceeding expectations. The wheat
market, which during the past week had
stood at 67 cents for club and SO for
bluestem on cars, late Friday afternoon
took a sudden raise. Offers were made
at IA and rs cents, and at these rates
William Jones, the grain merchant,
bought 115,O0o bushels of wheat from
Babcock, the wheat king of Eureka Flat,
paying 85 cents. Other sales in large
quantities were also made by Jones and
other buyers. This morning the market
opened briskly, all the dealers offering "a
cents for club and rs for bluestem, while
occasional higher offers for fine grades
were made. The market had firm tone
all day. The aggregate of sales ex
ceeded 10000 bushels for to day. Far
mers are generally willing TO accept these
offers, and it is expected, if the market
holds at the present figures, sales on Mon
day will be immense.
George W. Hughes, formerly superin-
tendent of construction on the Hunt
roads, returned from st. Paul, where he
secured contract for twenty-five miles
of grading on the Great Northern road,
extending from Chathney to Little
Spokane river and Diamond Lake. The
grade is mostly heavy rock work, with
one small tunnel. He expects TO start
work Septembr /.

Wasco News.

WAsco, Or, August IL. 1891.
Editor TINES -MoUSrAINEER:
Here we are again. Right side up and as
it were yard wide.
The teachers examination was held at
Moro last week. There were four appli-
cants. Two certificates were issued.
w. M. Reynolds intends to start his
steam thresher to-day. He has just bought
a new separator and will no doubt make
good run
Our popular county clerk made a business
trip to The Dalles last Saturday. -
A gentleman from the east was in our
town last week looking up location to en-
gage in business. He is a man of means,
and has concluded this is the place he was
looking for.
Messrs. Hosford. Jones and Shut, of the
Observer at Moro, were in town Saturday.
Such are the attractions of Wasco that
even the Observer force have to return occa-
sionally.
The little child of Mr.. and Mrs, G. W.
Benadom is quite sick. Its chances for ft-
covery are not very favorable.
Rev. F. r. Spalding delivered very elo-
quent and earnest sermon at the NJ. E.
church last evening to large and apprecia-
tive audience. Mr.. Spalding is a deep
thinker, close reasoner and his command
of language is marvellous. Added to these
qualities consistent life and intense earn
estness, and we can understand how it is
that he is such power in his calling.
The ladies of Wasco gave an ice-cream
sociable at the school hall last Saturday
evening for the benefit of Rer. ]. M. Dem
nison. The evening was perfect, Just such
a one as adds, if possible, flavor and zest to
the most delicious Yiands. The large hall
was well filed with persons, old and young,
bent on pleasure. Dish after dish of ice
cream disappeared and cake after cake van
ished with marvellous rapidity, and after
the inner man had been well provided for,
the happy participants enjoyed some excel
lent music, vocal and instrumental. At q
late hour all sought their feathery cots yot-
ing it one of the pleasantest occasions of
the season. The net receipts were about
$50. REPORTER.

High Prices For Grain.

PENDLEToN, Aug. 15-Adams, fifteen
miles north of here, was the scene of a
lively competition among wheat buyers
Friday, and the farmers derived the
benefit. 1t is reported that no less than
100000 bushels were sold at 751s cents
IN the sack, 81 higher than the ruling
market prlce for sacked grain, which was
7s cents Friday, and that $4,000 will be
distributed among the farmers in the
Adams neighborhood alone, for one days
sale. W. II. Mcbride, who is in the city
from Adams, says that extraordinary
good yields are the rule IN that vicinity.
"Roe" Ferguson obtained fifty-three
bushels to the acre, and much of the
grain will go from forty-five to fifty
bushels. To-day being Saturday num-
of farmers were In the city, and much
wheat talk took place on the street cor
ners. The farmers are of course elated
over the sudden jump in the market
which has placed wheat to. day at 75
cents In sack. Seventy-two cents net was
offered for bluestem. This is o splendid
price, but the farmers appear too greatly
excited to sell, and few sales took place
TODAY.

A Lightning Calculator.


A widowed lady on Milwaukee avenue
ekes out a scanty existence by letting
logings, like the Mrs. Bardell, to single
gentleman. One of her dodgers is the
brother of her departed spouse. She acts
as kind of houskeeper to this gentle
man, buying as we'll as cooking his
vlands.
Yesterday the widow stepped into a
neighboring market and asked the price
of the best end of neck of mutton, that
particular part of the defunct sheep from
which it will be remembered, those sue
culent morsels called outlets are generally
sliced.
Sixteen cents pound, ma'am."
"Sixteen centsl That's DEAR"
$50 it may be-" replied Mr.. Butcher,
"but if you take the whole neck you can
have it for 10 cents pound"
"What does it weigh9"
The obliging butcher placed the 4nest
in the scale, and informed his customer
that it weighed ten pounds, which at 10
cents pound would just amount to an
even dollar.
SNOW, Mr.. Butcher, would you mind
just putting your knife through there and
weighing that piece for me2"
"Oh certainly, ma'am; it weighs six
pounds exactly"
"Thank you, very much. Now, will
you kindly charge that to my brother-in-
law at 16 cents, which will make SO
cents, and then If give you cents and
take the other four pounds myself, it
will be right, won't it9 and she smihngly
tcddled away with four pounds of neck
of mutton. which cost her penny a
pound, while Mr.. Butcher stood gazing
intently at the ceiling, trying to discover
how it was done.

Another Banner Day.

CHICAGO, Aug. 17-This was another
banner day in wheat. Saturday con-
fusion could hardly be exceeded, yet the
visitors in the gallery TO- day were well
entertained, and the gentlemen on the
floor were not beard to complain of a
lack of action. Before the exchange
opened the bears were predicting a big
drop, while the enthusiastic bulls were
talking C $1.55 for wheat. When bust
ness began the familiar howl went up,
and it was impossible for while to tell
what was being done. December wheat
closed Saturday at $1.061s. The open
ing this morning was $1.09 bid, $1.10 bid
Sill bid and $1.111a. Some was sold
at all tne prices named IN the first ten
seconds. Within the first three quarters
of an hour there had been sales at $1.121a,
$1.131s and some at $l.14. In the
height of the excitement one trade was
made 10000 bushels at $1.15. Suddenly
it became known that several houses,
with foreign connection In orders, were
selling heavily. This was enough. If
there had been a wildness in the previous
buying, there,was little short of insanity
in the selling craze which followed.
The bears, who had been too frightened
to sell for several minutes, made COM
bined onslaught in which they aided the
ones who had been following the bull
lead, and December dropped. The
most determined efforts of the bulls
would only result in keeping it up
for moment or two. Within a very
few moments the price had reached $1.05.
Then, favorable bull news coming in, 1t
advanced to $1.07; but after an hour of
see saving back and forth, near that
figure, it declined to S1.041s, then ad-
vanced to $1.051z. About noon tele-
gram was received from B. P. Hutchln-
son, by one of his friends, saying: .For-
elgners are selling frantical!y and wheat
will drop" A dissemination of this
prophecy encouraged the bears. The
excitement Quilted down. Then many
''longs' figured out that they were draw
ing on shoal, and as result they be-
came panic-stricken. The early buyers
turned sellers, the bears pushed, and
December dropped with rush to $1.03,
finally closing at 81 .0315.

The kaiser's Accident.

PARIS, Aug. 17-The Reclaire, which
is not given to sensationallsm, prints
the following as from undoubted author
ity: On the night after the departure
of the HoZerzein from England, the crew
was beaten to quarters. They found the
quarter dock illuminated and an altar
erected thereon. The kaiser stood by the
altar, wearing white chausble with
crosier in his hand and a black and
white mitre on his head. He read the
most warllke passage from the Testa-
ments and invited the crew to respond.
He then preached long sermon on the
duty of the people to their sovereign.
At O'Clock in the morning the kaiser
appeared on the bridge In the uniform of
"a high admiral. He ordered the COM
mander to retire to the cabin, saying:
II take charge" The commander re
piled respectfully, observing: "We are
N dangerous passage, and it Is advis.
able that sailor should remain in com
mand." Tie kaiser answered: "Never
mind. God viii inspire me-" The COM
mander then retired, the second officer
remaining. The kaiser angrily ordered
him away. The officer respectfully pro
tested that his presence was necessary
TO the proper management of the
vessel. The kaiser SAID imperatlvely;
"You trouble the spirit of God which
is III ME. This is. the vengeance of
God upon you." With that he dealt
the officer a blow on the cheek. The
officer grew crimson, but remained
until the kaiser seized him by the
throat, and tried to overthrow him. In
the struggle the kaiser fell and broke his
kneecap. The sailors looked on, paralized
with fear by the spectacle. The kaieer
howled with pain, foamed at the mouth,
swore terribly, and showed all the symp-
toms of madness. The officers briefly con-
suited together, and carried their sover
elgn into cabin which had been carefully
padded with mattresses. Only the doctor,
Leuthotd, the empress and the men
necessary to restrain the kaiser were
admitted until the injured leg had been
bandaged and his majesty had been Sc
cured In a straight-jacket. The crisis
lasted for three days.

AN UNIQUE DISPLAY.
The horticultural Department nc the
Portland Exposition.

One of the most attractiye features OF the
Portland exposition, opening next month,
will be the horticultural department. Su-
perintendent Mitchell will devote more
care to this portion of the exposition than
has hitherto been displayed. In order to
make it entirely successful. additional space
has been granted and inducements offered
to the frnit raisers of the state to make an
elaborate display. Arrangements have
been made with Senfert Bros, of this
place, for the erection of an immense pyra-
mid, the base of which is to be constructed
of immense Hubbard squashes, ending at
the apex with brilliant little red currant.
At the time of the completion Of the North.
ern Pacific road the Senfert Bros. erected a
similar pyramid that attracted great atten-
tion. Superintendent Mitcnell has secured
a free rate oDall fruits and vegetables for
the exposition and there is no reason why
The Dalles should not make an elaborate
display. In fact an extra effort should be
made to do so. At the last exposition TIE
Dalles secured not only the. special premi-
ums for best EXHIBIT of grapes. but also
several others, and the superiority of fruits
raised in this vicinity is generally acknowl-
edged.

NOW, SHE KNOWS 1T ALL.
Col. sinnott InduIges In a Few REM
iniscences.

There is at least one of the army of east
ern tourists that is now returning home
well convinced with the unapproachable
greatness and wonderful possibilities Of
this section. A matronly, well-to-do ap-
pearing woman hailing from New York
and out for trip on pleasure bent, was
among the recent arrivals at the Umatilla
House. She was evidently not well satis-
fed with what she had seen and thirsted
for something new concerning the country
that she could tell to her friends on her
return. This she confided to Col. Sinnott,
the urbane host, and he lost 10 time in
giving to his guest a history of the early
periods in The Dalles' existence. Graphi-
cally he discoursed upon the resources of
tine country, but not until he had described
how, in earlier days, he used to cross the
lordly Columbia astride salmon, and how
George Francis Train once walked half
way across the river on the same kind of
fish and filling his pockets with samlets
did the wonder-stricken tourist express
q doubt OIL the correctness OF the
stories. Even then her doubts were
quickly dispelled when she was shown the
signature of the notorious globe trotter up
on the register of the hotel, and she be-
lieves it all. The "reminiscences of the cold
winter of '79, when tine riYer troze solid to
its bed, while water continued to uninter-
ruptedly flow above the ice, struck her as
more than usually peculiar, but when she
looked the mIld-eyed colonel full in the face
and saw how earnest he was she knew 1t
could only be the truth. The amiable tour
ist highly compliment her host saying she
had secured more real knowledge of the
wild and woolly west from him than all
others she had sought for information.

The yellow Fever.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE steamer
City Of Washington, which arrived here
this morning from Mexican ports and
HaYana, reports yellow fever prevalent
to an alarming extent at Vera Cruz, and
though the health authorities are striving
to check the spread of the disease, their
efforts are apparently unavailing. Many
deaths occurred during the last six weeks,
and 1t was common sight. officers of the
vessel say, to see string of funerals half
mile long, stretching from the gates of
the city to the cemetery, each funeral
party waiting patiently for a chance to
bury It's dead. Among the latest vic
TINS of the malady is L. j. SNOWFALL, a
we'll known commission merchant of 10
Wall street, who has been in Mexico
since the I'd of August. The City of
Washington was detained for thorough
inspection and fumigation at quarantine
as precautionary measure, and will not
be allowed to come up to the city until
to MORROW. On the vessel are Captain
Pratt and wife, of the tugboat julia; the
second mate and three sailors of the
American ship Ak5ar, and Captain
Brunk, of the Danish bark Imtertcuse, all
of which vessels were recently wrecked.

Farewell Party,

On Friday afternoon Miss Hattie Cram

at her residence on Fourth street by
party given in honor of her young friend,
Anna Wentz, who leaves the city to reside
in Portland. The time was past in a de-
lightful manner in the playing of games. in
one of which Lena Leibe secured the first
prize and Anna Wentz captured the
''booby." In the evening the party were
invited to the Columbia ice-cream parlors
where refreshments were served, after which
the pleasantries of the day ended with an
enjoyable stroll. The children invited to
