Asotin Sentinel: A successful farmer doel
not grow any one thing exclusively. HI

Wallowa Chisttain: Last Friday and Sat.
urdaY the gentle rain fell in sufficient quan.
titles to interfere somewhat with the har-
vester's work. But Saturday night the
heavens became clear again, and Sunday
morning early risers were greeted with the
first frost of the present fall. A slight
snow on the tops of the highest mountains
made our surroundings appear natural once
more.

We believe The Dalles boasts as many
old residents as any city in the state. To-
day we had conversation with Mr.. W..
Adams, who drives the stage from The
Dalles to Bakeoven, and who first came
here In 1862 His recollection of men who
are now in "the sere, the yellow leaf OF
life" is truly wonderful, and these he de-
nominates "boys." Mr. Adams is still well
preserved, and, thanks to the healthfulness
of our climate, is still good for many years
of active life.

snec;aI from .I,na,p Al.sk. s.vs. Tn.
telIi0ence has inst reached here from tbe
upper Yokon that a band Of hostile Chil-
cats had attacked small party of two
whites and five Indians, who have been
hunting on Lewis river for some weeks, and
that several had been killed, 1t is thought
here that the party Is the Ewing Ea lscliff
one, which is composed of L. B. Ewing,
prominent journalist OF Missouri, Herbert
Earlchf, young Englishman, and fye In
dians. They were all well armed, and it is
feared that desperate encounter has taken
place. No particulars could be learned
