This item from the Canyon City Ne 10
reads very much like the old saying Of
bringing coal to Newcastle: "Mr R. D.
Rinehart, the fruit grower. loaded two
freight teams with apples last week and
started them on the road to The Dalles. If
they do not sell out on the way down, or
find ready market at The Dalles, they will
box and shipped to Portland. Apples with
out worms in them will be rarity in the

liam county court to feed the squirrels IN
the vicinity OF Condor, which includes
Paper Sack, Matney, Ajax, ThirtYmile aud
a score of ether places. amounting to per-
haps 400 square miles. We are told the
county court has purchased about 5000
worth of strychnine to dorate 70 the farm
ers of Gillian county. The court took
wise course in purchasing this poison for the
county, but has not bought more than half
enough and has not distributed 1t properly.

After taking in that great exhibition the
senator and his family will seek some quiet
resort to pass the summer, SO that ne may
recuperate for the work of the next session,
He does not intend to do any more at pres
ent than is actually necessary, as he desires
to regain his health,

Among the collection, also, is a willow two
feet and three inches through, cut below
town, and near Echo he found a sumac
