The princieal part of the business of tn
city centers at the East End, and when tn

about equally divided between the tive
Leading organizations.

The weather.beatened visage of "Lo'

anxiously looked in to solve the mysteries
of printing Office. He did not inform US

left with mystlfied air upon his classic
brow.
We are pleased to note the fact that the

accepted last evening by the members of

prescner has consented to continue his oc-
cupancy of the pulpit
The Wallowa Chiettain says the amount
of money coming into that country from
sales of cattle this year Is $50, 900; from
wool sales about $4,000, and adds: ga
careful and conservative estimate of money
from all sources makes the actual amount of
cash brought to Wallowa county this year
to be more than $40 per capita"
La Grande Gazette: 1t was reported this

now IN Wallowa county had been seen with
the child in their possession. Mr.. Miller

According to the last census report on the
basis of population, list of the principal
cities in Oregon, outside of Portland, IN
clades the following: Astoria, Salem, Al
bany. Eugene, The Dalles, Pendleton, La
Grande and Baker City. Astoria has two
daily newspapers, Salem two, Albany two,
Eugene two, The Dalles two, Pendleton
two, Baker City two, La Grande none.
Score one for Oregon. The average yield
of wheat throughout the country Is Ii
bushels per acre, while that of Oregon is
l5.7, and with better calculation the yield
would still be larger. Yet great many
people leave here, thinking they can better
themselves. But the better place is never
found, and they invariably return, sadder
but wiser people.
Condor Globe: Squire Clark and his
brother G. s., the blacksmith, received the

litigation. Each of the many heirs will
receive about 100000. This kind of news
would please most anyone-even an editor.

A leading feature of the Columbus Day
ohservances in Moro last Saturday, says the
Observer was the reception of the veterans
at the Baptist church by color guard of
six pupils, three male and three female. All
marched from the church to the school
house headed by the youthful standard
bearer, and ON their arrival, the sentiment
of the occasion was proclaimed, "All honor
to the veterans, living and dead"
Wasco Ne,cs: We wish to correct an error
in recent issue in regard to the bridge at
the mouth of the Deschutes. 1t seems that
it is not IN a dangerous condition, Mr..
Phelps having spent great deal Of time
and money in repairing it this summer. He
at one time crossed IS head of horses and
at another time 6S head of beef cattle, and
Pierre CutchIer crossed with a sIx-horse
team and 1900 pounds on his wagon. This
does not look as though the bridge was dan
gerous.
Dufur Dispatch: We are informed that
men working on the Clear creek survey saw
at distance some object that soon lodged
into the brush out of sight. Thinking it
bear, they sent the dogs in, and were sur
prised when they drove man from con.
cealment. The stranger gave no straight
account of himself, but was allowed to 60
his way toward Waplnitia. The following
night a horse belonging to j. P. Abbott,
who lives Just at the edge of the timber,
was stolen. As this is the route that Wolf,
the murderer, is supposed to have taken, it
was probably him. A reward Of $3.50 would
soon land him.
Baker Democrat: On Wednesday evening
while Mrs. Adam Crossman and daughter
were in attendance on the Dolph speaking
