Hon. HI. H. Dufur brought with him
from the Colville country some very rich
specimens of mineral quartz. He says
the new lands just purchased from the
Colville Indians is very rich in all the
elements that go to make great coun-

mining lands, with yasts coal fields of
superior quality. FS aT-
The. Petsiuma packing 5. company
expects this year to put up 1000, 900
cans of fruit, To. show what such an
institution does for community we
draw upon the columns of the Imprint.
That paper says the canrery mentioned
will this year pay out $35, 600 for help
and sec, 900 for, fruit. It win use 1900
barrels of sugar and $4,000 worth of
cans.
A writer tells the Salem Journal that
at Port Townsend the collapse is COM
plete. A Seattle man was in Salem last
Sunday who paid $500 for property just
outside Seattle last spring. ''By fall he
could get $1,000 cash. Now he cannot
sell for $500. 1t is thus nearly all over
the Sound. 1t will take that region
nearly ten years to get over the present
reaction. Salem men think Washington
papers would now be good place to ad-
vertise the glowing realities of this val

A, little sensation happened in the
quiet town of Dufur evening before last.
A lady lecturer had obtained the use of
the Dufur M. E. Church, evidently
through misunderstanding on the part
Of the pastor, Rev. T. W. Atkinson, and
proceeded to deliver 7rousing rational-
istic lecture. At the close and. before
the house had retired the pastor an-
nounced that the audience would trans
form itself into a prayer meeting and
then called on the lady to make the
opening prayer. 1t is needless to say
she politely declined but the prayer
meeting went on, notwithstanding.
We really think an effort ought soon
to be made to provide the o.. N. G.. with
suitable camping grounds. Not less
than 800 men are axpected to go into
camp and the presence of such num-
Der would greatly contribute to the sue
cess of our Fourth of July celebrations.
Three hundred dollars are asked for the
rent of the only suitable grounds in this
neighborhood and double this sum would
willingly be contributed by other towns
to secure the eucampment. We are in
formed that this sum must be raised or
the encampmenewill goeLsewhere. We
have no doubt that when the matter is
fairly placed before the people of The
Dalles the requisite sum will be raised
without difficulty.
