MIR. Geo. Nolin, of Oufur, Is in the city.
Mr.. Geo. II. Thompson, of Arlington. is
in the city.
The city election is tn next mittsf OF in
terest in the city.
A bountiful ram fell last night in the
vicinity of Dufur and Kingsley.
Dufur will have celebration of the 4sh
of July. All citizens of the county are in.
yited.
Wool in the East End is the ruling prod
uct, and the warehouses are crowded with
this export.
The wool clip in adjoining counties has
heen very excellent both as regards quantity
and quality.
Mr.. Geo. Cochran, of Antelope, has been
in the city for several days. He is one of
the sheep monarchs of the Antelope empire.
Hon. w. Med. Lewis, of Wapintia. is
sick at the Umatilla House. He is improv-
ing, aud will soon be able to go to his home
and family.
Mr.. F. G. Sexton, of Kingsley, is in the
city. He says crops in that vicinity are ap-
pearing IN good condition, and promise a
good harvest.
Miss Jeanette Williams returned on the
noon train from visit to friends In Port
land. She was accompanied by her aunt,
Mrs. j. Marshall.
The clouds darkened the heavens last
night, and it seemed as though Jupiter Plu.
vius was wreaking his vengeance upon the
people IN this vicinity.
Mr. Carl j. Rath, of this city, presented
us with head of caulihower that surpasses
anything we have ever seen. 1t demon
strates the capacity Of this climate for veg.
etBble growths.
The Pacific Express Company is doing a
good business these days in tie export
trade. Large quantities of salmon have
been shipped, and the fruit season has com.
menced. Cherries are being shipped to
Denver, Col, Spokane and Portland, Or.
East Oregonian: The total vote in Una
tilla county this election, some 354S, shows
only an increase OF a dozen or SO more than
that of 1890. This is explained by the fact
that many ballots were improperly voted,
and were thrown out. The increase in the
voting population has not been less than
two or three hundred.
Mr.. William WaIdron, oldest son of
Mr.. 81. J. Waldron, formerly one of the
leading business men in The Dalles, but
lately deceased, Is in the city. With his
mother, sisters and brothers he has been
residing IN Oakland, CAL, for several
months past; but lately they have re.
moved to Portland, Ore.
The vote received by Hon. a. S. Bennett
tor supreme judge in this and adjoining
counties was very complimentary to his
standing with the people in Eastern Oregon.
Being a sell. made man, and having elevated
himself from a country school teacher to
one of the foremost lawyers in the state he
is entitled to considerable credit.
A stranger can scarcely realize the ex-
port trade of The Dalles without he un
derstands the amouAt of business done
by the Pacific Express 20. and the Union
Pacific, and this appears to be increasing
annually. With factories, our trade
would double, and this city would be the
leading one east of the Cascade noun
tains.
The Eugene Register says: Probably
few Prohibitionists sts"vote as they pray" but
this cannot be said of all the adherents to
that party in this city. A majority OF them
in this city voted tor men who have been
branded by temperance people as members
of the ''whisky ring" and in one precinct
fourteen out of fifteen voted for bar
tender. This will not help the temperance
cause very materially.
Herald: Judge Fee IN discharging the
grand jury, ,complimented that body Of men.
The jury after six days hard work failed to
bring in true bill. The judge thinks re-
markably well of the moral, law.abiding
citizens Of Harvey county, as our Jail house
has been tensntless for over two years. To
be sure we indulge ID a few scraps OCCASION |

initiate the living universe, and in the |
pleasurable pastime Of burning few hun.
