WAMIC, Nov. 2S, 1891.
There are no accidents to chronicle,
the sick are convalescing, and the
weather is all that could be desired.
The Rev. Mr.. Lee Holgate and Mr..
Mitchell held religious services in the
Union church at Wamic Sunday, No
.yember ,2nd, from whence they went to
Wapinitia to hold services during the
week.
Frank Dean of Tacoma has just arrived
at the home of his father-in-law, Mr..
Ledford, of Smock Prairie, where he in
tends spending the winter.
DR.. Davenport contemplates going to
California to spend the winter, and we
shall be very sorry to lose so good a citi-
zen and hope the winter will be short
one, that he may be permitted to return
soon.
AT the auction sale of the farms OF
P. T. Knowlas OF Wamic and c. w.
Magill of Wapinitia, which took place
last week, cattle sold reasonably well
but horses went for unusually low prices.
OF course it was no estimate of stock, it
beingat this season of the year.
The Pine Grove and Pine Hollow
schools of Wamic have closed for the
term ending November 9th, 1891. Mr..
o. B. Connolly, who has been teaching
the Pine Grove school, has returned to
his home at The Dalles with his brother,
who has been canvassing the county in
the interest of the state implement COM
pany. &
Mr. Frank Swift and wife started to
Portland Wednesday last on visit,
stopping at Dufur over Thanksgiving to
trip the light fantastic and enjoy the leg
OF a turkey with their old friends and
associates. Frank, of course, as one OF
the people, is foo patriotic to patronize
the U. P. company, so they will go by
way of the Regulator"
Grandpa Garter is building a neat
little cottage on his homestead, just
south of the Pine Hollow school hous e
Mr.. Carter is nearly seyenty-six years OF
age, but from the energy he puts forth it
is evident that he has no intention OF
giving way to the weight of years for
some time yet.
Our friend of Mosier writes US, refer
ring to our green fields of waving wheat,
that they have no such things in his
country, and that he is granger, too
but helsays they have a surplus of the
shining reds instead This is nice in
deed, and we are pleased to be thus in
formed and if Providence favors us,
with our green fields of wheat and the
price of wheat should remain where it is
now, ''we' may another year be lucky
enough to jingle a few of the thousands
ourselves. UNCLE ToBY.

shopping?
George Peterson OF Biggs is in the city
in attendance at the United States land
office.
George P. Sink of Wasco and H. c..
tered at the Umatilla house.
The funeral of Mrs. Joanna Root of
Pleasant Ridge will be at the city ceme-
terry at II M: tomorrow, and the sermon
will be preached at the brick school
house at 1 80 P. M. of the same day.
Rev. A. G. Spencer officiating, All of
our citizens who desire to view the re-
mains will go to the cemetery at II M.
Major Ingalls, came up from Portland
on the noon passenger today. He at
tended the joint meeting held in Port
land yesterday by the members of the
citizens committee and he feels conf
dent that Portland will raise a good
round sum for the Worlds Fair exhibit.
and thus give leverage for himself and
his fellow solicitor, w. H. H. Grant, to
work on the outside. 1t was the opin-
ion of Major Ingalls, all the time, as it
was of many others, that if any consid-
cradle amount is raised Portland must
first show her hand. The major thinks
that before week passes Portland will
have raised 900, and when that is
done he believes there will be little diff
ficulty in getting outside counties to
contribute their quota. Meanwhile the
solicitors will await the action of Port
land.
An old gentleman named Olsen who
keeps the postoff1ce at Lyle and is well
known in this city complains bitterly of
the treatment he received on the even
ing of the End, at the hands of Union
Pacific conductor. Mr.. Olsen had been
in the city and got on the train that
leaves here at 6 40 on his way home.
He was going as far as Rowena where
his boat had been left IN the morning to
take him back across the river. The
fare from The Dalles to Rowena is So
cents and Mr.. Olsen had paid it so often
that he needed no information on the
subject. He was surprised however to
find the conductor demand 45 cents.
Olsen refused to pay the extr!, ten cents
unless the conductor would give him a
receipt showing what the extra ten cents
was for. This the conductor refused to
do and as the old gentleman was persis-
tent the conductor stopped the train and
put him off. Olsen had to walk back to
town in the dark, distance of about
two miles, where he remained overnight
and went home on the Regulator next
morning. 1t is very natural to infer
that Olsen does not feel in the kindliest
mood towards the Union Pacific.

Blaine and Mckinley,

NEW YORK, Aug. 5-The Herald SAYS:
do the Blaine Republicans believe that
the success of Mckinley would make the
tariff the overshadowing issue in 1892, and
are the Blaine Republicans for this reason
preparing to knife the author OF the tariff
bill in Ohio this year,"
The Herald's Columbus dispatches indi.
cate that they are. Mr.. Mckinley more
completely embodies the protection prin-
ciple than any other American, and 1t may
be said for Mr.. Blaine that in him the re-
ciprocity idea finds its strongest and most
intelligent advocate. Mr. Blaine is bitterly
antagonistic to the protective idea as ii finds
expression in the Mckinley tariff law.
What, then, more natural than that he
should covertly desire the defeat Of its
acknowledged champion in a gubernatori.
al contest where tariff reform and tariff
prohibition furnish the battle cries for the
respective forces engagedi
Rumors That Blaine viii Resign.
Among the many rumors current in
Washington is one crediting Secretary
Blaine with the purpose Of retiring from
the cabinet at an early date and seeking
an asylum in Italy for the restoration OF
his health. The story must be taken,
however, with many grains of allowance.
Well informed people say that Mr.. Blaine
Is gradually recovering from his late i'll
ness, and the belief is general that upon
his restoration to health he will return to
the capital and resume again the duties of
his department These duties are very
congenial to Mr.. Blaine. There is an in.
tellectual delight in them that cannot be
found in the ordinary routine Of the other
executive departments, while the prestige
OF the office is far beyond that enjoyed By
his cabinet confreres.
