house, and 20 sacks of wheat were pur-
chased, and for which good price was
paid.
We had talk with several of our farm

couraging.

Moro Observer: They raised an abund- {
ance of good hay in the Kent neighborhood G
| this year. One farmer had 215 tons TO the I
acre and Mr.. Comstock had about tons. t
This industry pays well around Kent. for

| Antelope sheep men who purchase large
share of their feed from the Kent farmers.

severely felt. Mr.. and Mrs. Mccoy are o
well known in The Dalles and will receiye E
the heartfelt sympathy of the community v
in their bereavement.
Sprague advertiser: "It seems little
| strange, but 1t Is a fact that two-thirds of
| the eggs used IN Sprague are shipped from
| the east, there not being enough In the 7
| country to supply the city Here is a F
chance for some enterprising granger to get 6,
| rich by raising chickens. There is more :. :.
clear money in one good hen than there is o.
IN bushel Of wheat" Yes, but the bushel re
| of wheat will have to be raised to feed to y
the hen all the same.
Grants Pass Courier: Mrs. E. Turner, W
formerly of this place, returned here Mon B
day with her son, T. L. Turner. of the W. h

W 8 attacked with la grippe last May which vv
run into t, phoid fever, followed by pleur- .,

again breathes the arr Of his native town,
where his many friends hope he will soon W
regain his former health. d
The Oregonian says: K. s. Perkins came ce
back from CIatsop, where he has been 1f
searching for the body of Todd Bingham, p
the lawyer. He was accompanied by DR.. "
John Bingham. of Walla Walla, brother of oi
the deceased, who left last night for home c'
Joseph Knott and his sister still remain at al
the scene of the tragedy. Mr.. Perkins says ia
they have been patroling the beach up and
down for two or three miles near the fatal oi
rocks. but without finding any trace of the al
was instantly killed by being hurled against W
the rocks before he sank. V
Mr.. Cbas. E. Height, the proprietor of q q
the city restaurant, had rare experience +
at one of his tables during the noon hour 2
young lady and gentleman occupied one n,
of the tables, and after eating for while n
came to the counter and the gentleman de- a.
posted fifty cents, but asked if they could w.
not come back and finish the meal. Mr..
Haight, always good-natured, said in his II
most polite manner, Certainly" At this al
the young lady proceeded to the table and W
took all the dishes and deposited them on a @
table in the kitchen, saying she would not VI
give the walters the trouble to reset the la
table, but when they came back they would sl
simply place their dishes on an empty ia. ar
BILE and finish eating. br
We frequently hear of acts of van dalism " "
committed by come of our boys and the 4;
last that has come to our notice is breaking
down fruit trees surrounding unoccupied
residences. One day this week neighbor Ia ~
was passing a house on the corner of Lib tn n
erty and Ninth streets, and saw three or &c
four boys pulling down the limbs of some re
very nice fruit trees. He hallooed to them 1T
and gave chase; but, by cutting through a u oi
hole in the fence, they managed to escape. as
In their hurry one of the boys left dinner ~
pail behind, and the gentleman took this VI
and handed 1t to Mr.. e. Howe, our night NJ 2.
policeman, and the boy have this by "a %
applying to him. If they are known they " y!
will surely be prosecuted for the offense, as I'll
an example should be made of some one to gr
step further acts of the kind.
Mr.. Isaac Perry and Mr.. Chas. McFar- T
land camped few days on Wind river @
last week, and say the creeks are almost te
entirely denuded of fish, since Mr.. A. Hu- be
guenin, the artistic angler, threw his hook or
in those streams. 1t is not generally known jere
that Aleck caught more trout and killed ia
more game than any man who has visited th
Wind river for the past ten years. Speak. co
ing OF Mr.. Huguenine it is not generally M
credited that President Hertenstein, of VI
the republic of Switzerland, who took su
the executive chair on Jan. l, 1883, Gi
and holds his Office for four years, had re- L.
signed in favor of Mr.. HugHenin, and that Cs
the Standerath and Nationalrath has sent kr
commission to request his return to his ma ra
tive country. During the festivities of the he
celebration OF the 600th year of Swiss in. Ii
dependenceit Is not probable that President ar
Hertenstein would resign his position. er
No one in the large audience which as
sembed last eyenIng to enjoy the final one tn
of the series of entertainments in connec. te
tion with the institute failed to note the M
omission of number of names in the reso- an
luton of thanks. Miss Jennie Long, of Or
Portland, for the superb rendition of the to
numbers chosen, deserves higher tribute SCI
of praise than the imperfect pencil of the stl
reporter can furnish. Especially fine was I'M
her rendering of Tennyson's Sisters" in of
response to the encore so spontaneously Or
awarded her. Miss Aunie Lang, by her Th
deft touch and thorough knowledge of tech ne
nique, was OF great service to Portlands th,
ma:chless singer, Mrs. Wetzell, and showed lea
conclusively that she possesses that rarest of thu
faculties, the ability to completely enter VIC
into, and subtly to interpret the spirit of qu
the composer. Both Professors Wetzell US,
and Alderman have labored hard and sue tol
cessfully to make the session of the insti- cul
tute pleasant and profitable. These and he
others are certainly deserving of all honor. Lat
We are unwilling to believe the current
rumor tnat, in at least one instance, the
omission YVES intentionsl. What matter if
a few paltry dollars are paid. The man or cit
woman WHO does good work in such case
as this is entitled to all honor, aud we to.
know we voice the sentiments of this COM
munity when we say that those mentioned
and all the others who helped by essay. yea
