that unfortunate one in Richmond, Va,
last Sunday. who discovered, after coming
out of church. that her brand new hat was
adorned with a tag upon which was in

There was quite a STIR on the street cor.
ners Yesterday, and our reporter hastened
with sharpeued pencil 10 chronicle perhaps
a riot, homicide or suicide; but his hurry
and preliminary arrangements for a good
item was wasted energy, and when he ar
rived on the scene he ascertained. that the
cause of the turmoil was simply dog fight.
An item was spo led in its iDcipiencv

Antelope Herald: Some people from
distance contend that this inland couatry
will never amount to anything for raising
hay and grain. We can truthfully assert
that nowhere in Oregon can larger yields of
hay and grain be produced than right up
here in the Antelope section. This season
Uncle Bill and ALI Kelsay put up tons Of
hay from II acres of land. Now If any
one can eat this for dry season let him
stand up.
The Tribune at Bay City. TIllamook coun-
ty, has suspended publication The town
IS suffering backset caused by the persis
tent efforts of few real estate agents to
boom that place. 10 most cases the ''boom
towns" never amount to a great deal, but
when you see town slowly growing up
with the country surrounding it, you can
feel assured that that town will not suffer
back let; on the contrary, it will continue to
improve.

There was a threatened strike of the tele. |
graph operators on the line of the Union |
Pacific, which would have commenced at 6 |
o'clock Saturday evening, If an agreement |
mad not been reached few moments before |
that time. The Western Union yielded to |
The claims of the operators, but only at the |
asst moment. If the strike had occurred, |
here would have been no trains until it was |

their lives by trying to run trains without

In conversation with Mr.. William Rob- |
nson, of Nansene, we learn that crops IN /
hat vicinity will average double the |
amount Of grain they did last year. No
hreshing has been done yet, and this esti-
note has been from the appearance of the |
wheat when cut. On Tygh ridge there will
% good crop, and wheat will yield about
10 bushels to the acre. Notwithstanding |
he shortage expected at the beginning Of
he season, the outcome Is very encouraging
% far.
