Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Branner of Nam
sene were passengers to Portland this
morning. Mr.. B. has an affiiction of the
ear which is troubling him somewhat,
and is one of the causes of his visit to
Portland so frequently of late.
Mrs. Victor Mesplie sent to THE
CHRONICLE, today basket of bellfower
apples. which weighed 934 lbs in the
aggregate. Some that weighed good
pound each were put into jars today for
the Oregon exhibit at Chicago. Mrs.
Mesplie took six premiums on fruit ex-
hibits at the fair here last week. She
also sent some to the Portland exposi-
ton from which she has as yet no re-
turns. -
The Pendeton wheat market, which
stiffened slightly last week, has dropped
back to its normal condition. No. L
wheat, say dealers, is worth no more
than 551s cents, but keen local competi-I
ton has occasionedNprices not justified
by the market, and Yin some instances
sixty cents per bushel has been paid.
Ruling prices are reported to be better
than in the Palouse country, where
rivalry between buyers has not been so
intensified.
Speaking of. the coming chrysanthez
mum show in The Dalles, lady says:I
"Chrysanthemums are the only flowers
that will continue blossoming after they
have been disturbed by being brought
into the house from the garden in the
fall. If this fact was better understood
SO many beautifully chrysanthemumsI
would not be left to the, ravages of the
frost. After they have finished blossom
ing for the season they may be relegated
to the cellar until spring and again
brought out for garden garniture.
Mr.. W. A. Langill in the city today,
says the tramp up in the vicinity of
Mount Hood, stated that he came down
the Columbia river on lumber barge,
to The Dalles. To'others he said he had
walked to the elkbeds from Walla Walla.
Mr.. Langill knows the country fully,
and told the fellow he certainly would
perish if he attempted to cross the val
ley at this season of the year, and Is of
the opinion that he turned his steps
toward Hood river valley.

Dalles City was formally dedicated YES.

of that sum, but an unsolicited offerink
