A traction engine, in connection with a
separator, left the city yesterday for the
wheat fields of Klickitat county. As the
engine propelled itself through the streets
OF the city it attracted considerable atten-
ton, and visions of golden grain fitted be-
fore the minds of citizens.
The city has been remarkably quiet to-
day after the turmoil of yesterday, and
there was no necessity for calling out the
! militia to protect the community from the
onslaughts of the girl, who never weighed
100 pounds in her life, and who has not
been in robust health for number of years.
This portion of the state is nearly ready
to harvest Its crop of grain, and the outlook
is very promising. In places there wili be
an excellent yield; while in others wheat
will not be up to the average. As g neral
rule, the acreage is large, and there will be
more grain for export than for many years
heretofore.
The officers of the Monterfy, now in the
harbor of Portland, are expected to arrive
IN the city on the boat this evening. hey
will be received at the wharf by the mayor
and delegation of citizens, who will well
come them to the city. The object OF the
visit was to view the scenery on the CO.
lumbia river.
Chronicle: A boy about sixteen years OF
came into La Grande tuesday morning
looking for band of twenty horses which
he claims were stolen from him Monday
night while he was camping about eight
miles this side of Baker City. He says out of
his band OF 100 horses twenty were taken,
and that he has traced them to Grande
Ronde valley, but is now unable to locate
them.
Two persons asleep on the Sidewalks of
the city last ght were arrested and placed
in the COOLER" where lodgings were fur
nished free. In his classic vocabulary the
recorder informed reporter of this paper
this morning that T Boston men moOSum

house. 1t means they were arrested and
lodged in Jail.
The youngest son of Nr. James Laswell,
who lives on Rock creek in tirant county,
met with an accident a few days ago which
resulted fatally. de was riding spir ted
horse ON July 18th, which threw him in one
of his capers, and he died from the effects
of the injuries the next day. The boy was
about IA years old, and was general favor
ite with his companions.
he following from the Eugene Guard is
very creamy: A pedler went over town re-
Gently selling patent article. Among the
many who purchased was the wife of a mer-
chant One d when he went home to
dinner bis wife informed him what a nice
thing she had bought. She then learned
her husband had them in his store for sale
for year, at half the price she paid for
hers. hen told this she said: 90 ell,
why don't you advertise them. Nobody
knows it. ."
Capt. L P johnson, of The Dalles and
Rockland ferry, is capable of guiding al
most anything that can be steered with a
wheel. Yesterday he jumped on the stern
of the steam traction engine that was being
taken out to Rickland and guided 1t safey
up the hill and through one of the principle
streets of North Dalles to the suburbs of
that great city The dangers Incidental to
climbing steep grades and running through
busy streets being now past, he surrendered
the wheel to others less skilled in the art of
navigation.
1t is time to proclaim a bitter war upon
the bicycle, for the persistent use of the
wheel has given rise to another disease
called by the blood -curdling name of "ky-
phosis ticyclistarum," which must be
formidable addition to the already long list
of ills which ''the flesh is heir to. :" The eff
fects are described as follows: The head
goes dow the back is bumped, the arms
assume the position of forelegs, and all that
is wanted is croak to pass for broken
backed frog. he Dalles has long been re.
nowned for its beautiful young ladies and
young gentlemen, and such fate as this
would be deplored by the city and commu-
nifty.
''The Oregonian. Its History. Its New
building" is the title of neatly bound and
printed pamphlet which we have received.
The illustrations are half-time photo
gravures, and are excellently executed and
printed. he history of this great news
paper is the history of the growth and de-
veiopment of the state, and it has always
lead the locality in which it has been pub
lished. Dating from its first inception in
1850, when it occupied a one-story frame
building, it has constantly advanced until
in 1898 i moved into the mammoth stone
structure, which is not only an ornament
to the city of Portland, but is not sur
passed by any edifice used for the purpose
on the Pacific slope. he pages are very
instructive read ng matter to all Oregonians,
and give them glimpse of the early his
tory of the state. AS a journal the Ore
ooa.ian is in the front rank, and its success
has been the reward of untiring energy on
the part of the management.
