There is mossback in Arlington, whici
editor Brown, of the Record, spreads befor

The remaining dlphtheria patient in Ar

Our markets are well supplied with wllC
geese. These are very plentiful along tbt
river banks, and hunters have royal amuse
ment in this line.
There was only one candidate for the
clemency of the recorder this morning, ano
he was IN oxieated. He paid his fine and
was allowed his liberty.
Mr.. Richard Palmer, of Dufur, is hauling
his wheat in town to-day. The grain is oI
excellent quality, though not as abundant
in quantity as in other years.
There are eight occupants of the county
jail who will not cast the elective franchise
next Tuesday; but as they are largely
Democratic we are contented.
B siness of all kinds is quite lively for
the fall season, and hotels, merchants,
mechanics and laborers make no complaints
about lack of patronage or work.

Douglas postotfice near Heppner of Sl2 so

United States before the county clerk to-
day, and in so doing 'nounced their al
legiance to the king OF N.rwaY aud Sweden.
The Arlington Record is advocating a
thorough cleansing of that city OF filth, as
sanitary measure. This is commendable,
for there Is more contagion from uncleanly
alleys and sewers than from any other cause
Arlington is erjoying an unenvIable rep
utatlon for actors IN Grim. con. cases which
usually come to light in Portland. The
mischief is hatched in the little city in Gil
liam county and natures In the metropolis.
We would esteem it great favor if any
of our patrons would send at the earliest
opportunity the returns of the election
next Tuesday in their precincts. II the
telegraph is available, wire them at our ex-
pense.
In conversation with a farmer from
klickitat county to-day he informed us that

to The Dalles with wheat. and that 1t will
take SIX weeks before the wheat is marketed
from that region.
A. Ullrich & Son received during the

The Dalles, we learn from the Condor Globe,

Hon. G. NJ. IRWIN, candidate for presi.
dentirL elector on the Republican ticket,

Glacier: Election next Tuesday. "You

We understand there is project on foot
to build tramway from the summit of the
Kllckitat hills to the river, thus saving a
distance of about twelve miles to the farm
ers, over one of the worst roads in this
region. The scheme has not yet matured;
but 1t is in fair way of being in operation
at an early date.
The discussions of the issues before the
American people in this campaign have
caused voters to think on the questions OF
protection and free trade, and in our walks
to day we met several protectionists who
had been wavering before. They say the
benefits OF Republican policy have not been
contradicted, land they are well enough salts.
fed with affairs as they now are.
Baker Democrat: There was a happy
meeting of two brothers in the valley thus
week. Mr.. James McNulty, of Hannibal,

will spend several weeks with his brother
before returning home.
A few days ago the large numbering mills
IN Lost Valley were discovered to be on fire,
and within few seconds, the enormous
frame structure over the mill was a seeth-
ing mass of roaring flames. 1t was useless
to attempt to extinguish the flames, and the

destroyed. The origin of the fire is un.
known. The loss is estimated at $500.

with to attend Mr.. Mowbry, the sawyer in

ally. The smoke stack of the mill fell
striking Mowbry on the back and shoulders
and throwing him on to pile of lumber
His face was cut IN two or three places and
his left leg broken below the knee. For

cure all damages.
