So much stock has been shipped from
the Inland Empire in the past two years
it is likely prices will advance. The in
and driven out of the coun-
try. The herds all over the state, andi
particularly in Wasco, Sherman andI
Grant, are diminishing each succeeding
year. u
Spokane has inaugurated an enterprise
to irrigate the Big Bend country and
shorten the Columbia river 100 miles.
The scheme is to divert the water from
the Columbia into the grand coulee, re-
entering the Columbia just below Priest
rapids. This will make ship canal of
sixty miles at a cost not to exceed $780,
600. The natural formation ofthe grand
coulee, which is known to have once
been the Columbia river bed, makes the
project feasible.
Phil Brogan. Sr., raised the remains
on Wednesday, 9th inst, of his deceased
wife, who died during a confinement
case a year ago last August and was bur-
led on the farm twelve miles south of
town. Her remains will be reinterred
in the cemetery at The Dalles. Mr..
Brogan has showed his esteem for his
departed help-meet by decorating her
grave in The Dalles cemetery with a
5000 tombstone which he purchased in

Kellers new hall was dedicated last

Several very attractive photos of Miss
i'm Snipes & Kinersly's and the P. O..
Book store. The late commander of
Gushing Post, G. A. R., Hon. A. G..
Hardesty, gave Miss Stannus the follow
ing testimonial: 's.Miss Sannus is so
perfect an artist that she forgets her own
identity and becomes the character she
assumes. She possesses that faculty of
so delineating her different subjects that
her audience unconsciously becomes
actors in the scenes she so perfectly por-
trays" -
The annual chestnut about Oregon
farmers leaving their machines and tools
in the field is going the rounds. Now
that the election is over with perhaps
the tools will be taken care of. Keep
your tools out of the rain during the
winter and out of the hot sun in the
summer and you will save 80 per cent on
money invested. By having a covered
shed that you can drive into before un-
hitching, there is less temptation to
leave wagons, mowers, garden tools, etc.,
out of doors until convenient time
ITO put them away.
