When the articles were first missed from
the house it was supposed that some of the
children had taken them; but upon investi

about either the watch or chain, and it ii
supposed some hobo walked INTO the house
and put the time. piece into his pocket
They were lying under the pillow IL the
| bedroom.
! The street commissioner is doing good
work in removing projecting rocks from the
thoroughfares and improving their condi-

| ashamed of the streets, for they are well
| graded and are good roadways. winter or

Mr.. James a. Miller arrived In the city
Yesterday from Prinevile with four horse

The recorder was enjoying peace and
quiet this morning, there being not even
hobo or ''drunk" claiming his cemency or
enforcement of justice. Yesterday was
busy time with the court, and the mills of
Justice ground out considerable grist

There were shipped from the stockYards

gentleman writing from Heppner, Nor
row CO nty, Oregon, says: 1.-The outlook in
this section is very gloomy, taking in con-
slderation the low price of wool and the
shortage OF crops In the past two days we
have been favored with rain. which will add
greatly to the yields of wheat, while hun
dreds OF acres will not be cut. We have in
our warehouses some three million pounds
of wool. No sales have been made yet. A
great deal has been consigned at six and
eight cents. Merchants, farmers and wool
growers are very blue.
In conversation with Hon. s A. Clarke
to day we were very much interested in his
remarks regarding the fruit interests OF
this country At present there Is no mar
ket for the product of our orchards IN this
state. and ehis has to be sought elsewhere.
Mr.. Clarke's idea is that where there
common interest there should be combina-
tion of effort, and this he is attempting to
accomplish. Our fruits may be shipped in
refrIgeratiDg cars with little or no waste,
and would reach the consumer in a good
state of preservation. The fruit-growers
should take this matter into serious con-
sIderation, and should affect an organization
at the earliest possible date.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of ex-
changing few W ,rds with Mr.. j. 81. Mo- |
sier, of Mosier, oyer the wires of the Ore
gon Telegraph and Telephone Co /, the odice |
of which is located at akeley & Hough- |
tons drug store There was rumor cur
rent that Mr.. MosIer had changed to Re- |
publican, and this he emphaticallv denied |
and SAID he was democrat dyed IN tie |
wool" and was in favor of the repeal of the |
Sherman act and the Mckinley tariff. This |
is Democracy, and there can be no doubt
that Mr.. Mosier Is still Democrat. The |
telephone furnishes an opportunity to pass
between friends at a dis
tance, and is quite an innovation for The |
Dalles.
