of Hyman which will interest some one
at the engine house is of significance and
probably tomorrow, if not before, the
revelation will be made.
Five irrigation companies were organ

bunchgrass and sagebrush will be a
memory only.

from California and is visiting her uncle,
C. L. Phillips, and will, with her sister,
open a first class dressmaking shop in

There may be some real foundation
for the rumor that work will soon be re-
sumed on the extension of the Oregon
Pacific railroad, and that no recess will
be,taken until the line has been COM
pleted to the Deschutes river in this
county. At any rate we hope the rumor
is well founded.-Prineuille Ne,Cs.
George E. Moore, of Bake Oven comes
in with the finest load of potatoes we have
ever seen in any country. He raised
them on his place and says it is the first
load of farm products ever marketed here
raised in that country. He thinks as soon
as the railroad in contemplation is built
that the products of that locality will be
n big item of traffic to The Dalles.
A slight error was made in Saturday g
CHRONICLE, whereby a meek and gentle
animal of the horse persuasion, the
property of Mr.. j. p. McInerny was
blamed for doing something he never
was known to be guilty of in his life,
namely, kick young lady. 1t was
another horse altogether.
B. F. and L. G. Kelsy, of Kent, locat-
ed in the grazing section of Sherman
county, are in town. They are large
sheep raisers and report fine success in
their business the past season, having
raised lamb for every yew they have.
They only lost through the winter II
head out of 5000. They report fine
prospects for crops if the season should
continue favorable3 ~sss.t q
Mr.. s. b. Adams has just ret urned
from trip to Sherman county and gives
very flattering reports of the crop pros
poets: He says that never in his thirty
years experience in this section of the
country has he seen anything to equal
it. Thousands upon thousands of acres
of wheat has been put in and as far as
the eye can reach, the fields stretch out
In one egreen mass of beautiful verdure
The farmers are happy for they have
never had sospromising an outlook.
