cept the watchman.
The Wasco Warehouse is receiving
and shipping large quantities of freight,
daily for the interior.
Thirty-four head of horses were
brought in last night from Crook county
to be shipped to California.

and Capt. H. Coe, of Hood River, passed
through the city today on the way to
Wasco, to attend the knights of Pythias
Inauguration tonight.
Some who have not kept posted, will
inquire what is all this Majestic Drayton-
Burrowe fuss about; simply a woman !;
Mrs. Drayton, daughter of VIM. Astor !;
who is bigger fool than the Jersey
Lilly. This and nothing more.
The following knights of Pythias of
this city, left today on the noon passen-

Up in Linn county pheasants have
commenced nesting. A farmer near

the splendid game birds plentiful, as
each bird will raise several broods.
Revival meetings are now in progress
at one OF the Baker City churches, and
from the way the Democrat speaks of
some of the attendants it is evident a
work of grace is much needed over that
way. Says the Democrat: A few old
sinners whose characters are as black as
the inside lining of sheol are among the
number who pretend to take great in
terest in these meetings, and it is to be
hoped that they are sincere, but judging

their carcasses that it would require a
baptism of carborlic acid or strong So

Charley Baseome, one of the oldtime
residents of The Dalles, left the city last
night for New Jersey, where he goes to
spend the evening of his days with a
brother. Many an oldtime friend will
drop kindly tear or speak kindly
word over his departure. Generous to a
fault, Charley saw many less noble
competitor outstrip him in the race after
wealth and when paralysis laid its
cruel hand upon him about six months
ago, it left him poor in everything ex-
cept in the riches which wealth can.

The Dalles must take some lengthy
strides in the way of Improvements in
the near future, of which our own citi-
zens seem scarcely to realize the pros
pect. When the time arrives for modern
light draft vessels to penetrate the in
terror through the canal and locks at
the cascades, the lordly Columbia will
assert her prerogative as a transporta-
ton route and there will be many q
floating cargo taken on at docks here fol-
distant ports of the world, more readily
than they are now received at ports
nearer to the sea. All this may be ac.
lcomplished, and The Dalles become q
busy mart from shipping alone, to which
may be added the fertile resources of the
surrounding country, from grain, wool
mutton, beef and horses, for which the
Inland Empire is now famous. The
