Enormous Fruit Cr0p !!
MANY THOUSANDS OF TONS
WILL GO TO WASTE.
Pleasure and Sorrow
Go Hand in Hand-A Queer Runaway

Other Interesting News.

We are delighted when we pause for
a moment to consider the condition of
our present enormous fruit crop. Never
was season more gloriously in favor
of the fruit-grower. Just take Il stroll
through our many orchards, and in
every instance you will find the trees
bending to the ground loaded with the
choicest of fruit. While every effort is
being made to market as much of it as
possible, yet there will be thousands of
tons fall to the ground only to decay.
'Tis shame that such is the case when
there are so many places without any
kind of fruit whatever, but what can
be done? Nothing. Every steamer
and stage leaves Lewiston heavily
ladened, but despite that, our export
ing facilities are too limited. Nothing
short of railroad can succeed in mark
eting all of our fruit.
Mr. Chris. Waldmann and Miss A.
L. Terhaar, were united in marriage
last Monday morning, at nine o'clock,
in the Catholic church at Keuterville,
Rev. Father Soer, officiating. The
young couple have the best wishes of
the TELLER in the beginning of their
married life. Although the affair
should have been one of the most
pleasant, it was marred of much of its
pleasure by the death of little sister
of the bride on the same day and
at about the same hour of the marriage
ceremony. The little child had been
sick several days but was not consid-
cred SO dangerously i'll, and while the
ceremony was taking place at the
church, the little child, at home,
passed away.
A queer runaway occurred on Snake
river the other day, when the fly-wheel
of Jim McKee's threshing machine
broke loose and run two miles down
the big hill. The thresher was at
work on high bluff above the river
when the pin that holds the fly wheel
in position worked out, allowing the
wheel to slip off Of the spindle. 1t so
happened that the wheel was revolving
toward the river and when it flew from
the thresher 1t shot off down the noun
tain side at lightning speed, never
stopping till it reached the rivers edge.
The wheel was SO badly damaged as to
be useless and new one had to be OBJ.
tained before the thresher could be
started again.-East Washingtonian.
A young gentlemen, late of Missouri
and whose name was not ascertained

wal; on Sunday evening while bathing
The water was not very warm and

Almota, on its trip down Monday
morning, made several attempts il
dragging for the young mans body
but did not succeed in getting him out
and on Tuesday morning when tn,
n Annie Faxon came up, his body wa
found and removed from the water

1t is good policy never to repeat gos
sip or to assist in circulating scandal
If you hear a rumor rejecting upon
/, friend, run it down and ascertain tn
: truth with as little delay as possible
t and If it has been circulated mall
9 ciously, punish the offender. If tn
I scandal concerns a stranger pass II
8 give 1t no credence, or you may unwi,
g tingly be the means of causing troubl
q to an innocent person. Scandal MOI
gers are too common, and If q few {
j. them were punished for their read
ness in accepting and circulating tn
e evil stories that come to their ears an
IT community would be better off.
