Dla the steamer Daile5 City has changed
her landing at the cascades to the big
eddy just this side. AT the locks the
waves roll so high that it is impossible
for the steamer to lay safely at the land
/ ing there, hence the change below.
The Dalles City took up there this
morning several thousand feet OF. lumber
ont of which to erect big platform on
which to receive and land freight during
the present high water. Teams and
wagons were brought down from The
Dalless this morning to transfer the
freight and passengers from the upper
to the lower landing.
! This state of affairs will only last un-
til the water geesrdown. We're the locks
completed there would be no necessity
for this, a. the steamer has no difficulty
in reaching the foot Of the locks. iissi az9st

! Z just why Wasco county should be set
down upon by certain parties Gas a fruit
region ofno consequence, y is, to the un-
initiated, mystifying. But, to. those
better informed it is a matter fully un-
derstood. 'Wasoo county today show
finer fruit of last years crop, solid tempt-
ing apples; than any other county in
Oregon. Samples have been on exhibi-
tion in THE CHRoSIcIE show window
quite recently. These were one lot of
bright, beautiful, red checked pippins,
raised by Mr.. J.. w. Elliott, of Mosier,
and another lot of another variety chal-
lenging comparison, from the orchard of
Mr.. Chas. Wing, of Wamic. With such
evidences as those, it would seem that
it is not worth the time consumed in
bandying words with any man who dis
putes the proposition. Southern Oregon
has reputation for producing certain
kinds of fruit, from which Wasco does
not in the least desire to detract one
iota,s but whether the comparison seems
odious or not owe cannot refrain, from
copying from the weather bureau re.
ports this week the following paragraphs;
with the interpolation: 1see How,s this
