Wheat options in the San Francisco
and New York markets, are higher and
firm this week.
The home of Mr.. G.. E. Moore, at Salt
spring, was gladdened by the appear
ance of charming daughter on the 18th.
Fruit markets are active, and buyers
come from both the east and the west.
Shipments are largely to Montana, from
The Dailes and Hood river orchards
Mr.. Kinersly, of the firm of Snipes &
Kinersly, returned from trip to Klicki-
tat county yesterday, and from him we
learn that assurances of bountiful har-
vest, and an abundance of fruit, causes
people to appear remarkably cheerful
Somebody must be furnishing consid-
errble whiskey to Indians in this city,
for drunken Indian is a sight one may
see any day. Are white men guilty of
this crime or is it possible that the wiley
heather Chinee is improving the shin
ing hours by making odd dollar in this
manner?
An Idaho newspaper in writing up a
ball thus describes fair lassie's garb:
miss Wore red bombazine dress
ruched with point alpaca and over
skirt of lose ginghaIn with a border of
parsely blossoms. Her tornour was par
ticularly noticeable from the fact that
her hair was SO deliciously scrambled in
front. She also wore No. lilac double
button gloves and No. store shoes
slashed at the heels and pompadore
socks"
Uncle Jimmy Farris returned last
night from trip to his old home in Oak
Grove. He says crops are looking fine
out there and there is every hope of a
bountiful harvest. Uncle Jimmy voted
the democratic ticket for the 63rd time
last election day. He thinks it hard,
however that he had to swear IN hisvote
because he was temporarily absent
for short time from the only home
he has in the world and where he has
resided for the last q years . q
Bishop Morris has declared his inten-
ton to resign his position as. Bishop of
this Episcopal diocese, next October.
He feels that the work should be carried
on by younger hands. He is now in the
74th year of his age, and feels a con-
seriousness of falling powers that lessen
his ability to do the work required of a
bishop in this large and growing field:
The clergy have asked him to retain
charge of the diocese and consent to the
election of an assistant bishop, accord
ing to the cahonieal provisions govern
ing such cases.
The results of the election in Portland
yesterday are somewhat mixed. The
only decisive thing about it is that the
republican ticket was beaten pretty
badly. The citizens elect both the po-
lice and fire commissioner. The coun-
cilmen are equally divided between the
republicans and citizens parties, each
getting two. Three independent canii-
dates sfor councilmen were elected
and the peoples party elect one
councilman. It was Portlands first
election under the Australian ballot
law and it was, according to the
great daily itself. one of the most
orderly and quiet elections ever held in
the city The .ssack,'' that usually
plays an important part in city elections
in Portland, was conspicuous by its
absence, and the toughs who lay about
the polls waiting for a.chance to sell
/ their votes for $2, so or a drink of yvhis
key, were doomed to disappointment
which is fine testimony to the value o
the new ballot law as purifier OF elec
ltions.
