The following trom the LonS Creek Eagle
makes us think of overco ITS aud re mot
stoves: "Wednesday morning the sur
rounding mountains were dressed in coat
OF newly fallen snow, which, however, mas
all disappeared. In Fox valley IT Is said
that the snow measured three inches at the
postotfice Greenhorn is white, aud will
remain so for the remainder OF the year."
The old hill at which the rock crusher
is at work Is an historic point. From
1853, until the new grade was built, all
the travel to canyon CITY and interior
Towns went over this road, and il will
long live In the memory of old residents;
but soon it will be thing of the past,
and the high bluff will be leveled and the
roadway obliterated.
The outpour Of gold from the mines OF
Baker aud Grant counties continues. and IL
IS safe to say that with the close of 1893
the yield will have been the largest ever
recorded in the history of these counties.
Again Saturday, the First National bank of
Baker, made shipment Of gold bullidb to
the mint. The amount was about $1,000.
and is the output OF several placer mines in
close proximity to Baker City.
Mr. Chas. D. Kellogg will, with the as
sistance of his wife, give a concert IN the
Methodist church Saturday evening, Sept.
23d, of which every one should hear.
They come highly recommended, both by
foreign and home presses. The London
Herald says; "Mr. Kellogg initiated the
notes of birds with great exactness. His
bird warbling Is not only remarkable but
very beautiful"
This city has long felt the need of
good kindergarten, and it will be good
news to many TO know that this want Is
about to be supplied. Miss Booth, the
daughter of Rev. Chas. Booth of New
port, Oregon, a trained Kindergarten, ex-
poets to open such school in this city
about the 25th inst. Further particulars
may be obtained of the Rev. e. ID. Sut-
cliffe.
Long Creek Eagle: Dayville races are
over and were q decided failure, owing no
doubt partly to the stringency OF the times
But the excitement over the races was
eclipsed by the stir occasioned through the
arrest Of two of our prominent cattlemen
yesterday by Sheriff Combs, namely Guion
and Miller, on the complaint OF VIM. Fare
for larceny of beef cattle and disposal of
same to Emmett Cochran.
Canada thistles are usurping every va
cant space in this vicinity, and apparently
no effort has been made TO destroy them.
They are very obnoxious growth, and
should be weeded out If they could he
fed to the rock crusher, the value of the
machinery recently purchased would be
greatly enhanced. As II is these should
be cut down and not allowed 70 perpetu-

Not single individual found his or
her lodgings last night in the city Jail,
and, as usual for eight days past, the re-
corder had no interviews this morning
with violators of the peace and dignity
of the municipality. Times are hard,
stantly passing through The Dalles; but
property is not molested, neither is the
quiet of citizens disturbed. This Is as 1t
should be, and the supplicatloh of all
home-loving people will be, may 1t SO
continue.
Journal: The Gilman-French Land and
Live Stock company has sold 1000 head
of beef cattle to the Amencan Dressed
Beef company of Portland and Troutdale.
The cattle are to be delivered in three
separate lots of train load each at
Heppner. The boys started to Aeppner
Saturday with the first shipment of $40
head, which were received at the Prairie
ranch of the company by Hank Putnam.
Mr.. PutnBm will return next Monday 10
receive the second train load. The price
paid was 214c for steers and 1%c for
cows, which will average $50 for the
former.and about SIS for the latter.
Last night 1t rained continuously, and it
is apprehended that this will damage grain
in stacks. The rain last week did not put
wheat in good condition, and the present
weather will only augment the injury.
Harvesting in this portion of the northwest
is Principally performed by heading, and
the heads are placed in loose piles. This
makes the grain very susceptible to the
effects of moisture. and where it has not
been threshed tine kernels NAV spout or be-
come mildewed. 1t is TO be hoped that the
larger portion of the crop has been threshed
and sacked, and to this no damage can re-
suit. We have heard from parts OF this
county that wheat was showing injury from
moisture, and it was hoped that dry
weather would, follow; but the rain last
night and to-day, 1t is feared, will cause
great loss.
The fall rains came unusually early this
year, says the Fossil Journal A tremend-
GUS amount Of rain fell during the ten days
ending last Monday, when fair weather set
in. What little grain was not secured re-
ceived a thorough soaking. and good deal
