affidavit that this il "thc true and
correct statement Of the financial con-

Captain Lewis, of The Dalles land

and took ride out 90 wills Wuuus
place, After examining the forks of
the river aud finding that the fish
would not bite, we repaired to Mr.
Niuau# and iilled up on duck, and
numerous other good things. The
Captain has not been feeling we'll for
the peat month, aud a few trips like
thi, one would, no doubt, put him in
trim to challenge Corbett- but then he
wouldn't.
Professor and Mrs. lennon, who
haze been al Mt. Hood for nearly two
weeks came down "Wednesday evening.
They niude fine collection of cones,
which they photographed for future
use Ia the professors book, on "Coue
hearing trees OF the Pacific Coast
lNt IlhltNbI states lllbJ ne lpUtu
greater variety of trees around Mt.
Hood than in any other locality he
ever visited, They left for Bridal Vail,
Wednesday evening.
Last Sunday we had the pleasure of
going through wis Wiuans garden,
and to some purpose too, as we came
away with sack full of string beans
ana corn. II is really astonishing to
see the growth of all kinds of vcgeta-
ton, in the red soil Of that neighhor-
hood. A small patch Of beans Mr..
Winnns told US had supplied the
neighborhnod for the past six weeks,
ahd yet the vines were loaded even
after we got through with them.
Fruit trees set late this spring had
made II growth Of five feet, and the
corn would pass muster even in Illi-
nois. 1t is needless TO say that he has
plenty Of water for iwigating purposes.
Next week will be my last week in
Hood River and Friday and Saturday
the last days. All not yet having pict-
ures will do we'll to avail themselves of
the opportunity. Special rates to
young folks and school children, Fri
day and Saturday. Fine photographs
at Sl.50 per dozen. All work firstciass
and satisfaction guaranteed.
