in the city of Astoria. The former wa.
a seaman and the latter steward of the
ship,
Mr.. Allen Grant, of Antelope, came il
town to-day. He says sheep has wintered
very well, and the loss was very small.
There is not much feed on the hills yet, says
Mr.. Grant, and there are drifts of snow
which will remain for several weeks. \
The rite of baptism by immersion was
administered on three COMMITMENTS yester

ing ceremony. The service was performed
by Rev, MIR. Motor, of the M. E. church.
Miss Bess Mitchell, who is en- route on
trip over large portion of the United
States and Mexico without leaving the

enjoys the journey, and speaks highly of
the treatment she has received from the
Il railroad officials.
There are at Mr. R. E. Saltmarshe &
Co.'S stockyards this morning l04 head of
i. cattle, purchased by Fargher & Crate for

that have come to this city during the
] present year.

Mr.. R. V. Gibbons returned Yesterday
from tour through different towns in East
ern Oregon and Eastern Washington in
search of the forgers. 1t may be expected
that the men who defrauded our merchants

they have not been definitely located yet.
At an early day there will be an examina.
tion of applicants for cadetship to West
Point. The board will be composed of a

The address of Mrs. Unruh last evening
at the Congregational church attracted
very large audience, and the remarks of the
ton. One admirable feature of the services
at this church is the excellent singing by
the choir, which Is composed OF some Of our
best local musicians.
The articles in the Portland papers that
Hon. I. R. Coon, of Hood River was the
victim of bunco game IN that city, is a
mistake. We have positive assurance that
it was not Mr.. Coon, and that he was
entirely innocent of anything in connection
with the gambling game. He never plays
cards, or any game of chance.
The remains of Mrs. c. ]. Curtis, who
died in this city about twelve years ago
and were buried in the Masonic ceme-
terry, were exhumed to-day to be taken
to Seattle, where they will be re-interred.
This was done by order of her oldest
son, who came to The Dalles yesterday
for that purpose.
The state assessors convention called to
meet in Portland Saturday, was a failure.
as only four of the assessors in the state
were in attendance, hence the meeting held |
no session. The prevailing opinion of the |
assessors present seems to be that the basis
of assessments will be about that fixed by |
the state board of equalization,
There is great complaint made about the |
from Antelope. Tins necessitates detour
of twelve miles to reach Antelope, when by |
the road 1t could be reached in seven miles.
The settlers cannot understand why this
road should have been closed, as it is a
public highway and is so recorded.
Farmers in Sherman county are busy
blowing and planting. Fall wheat has
stood the,winter well, and only in spots has
u haa, -. H,,f /
grain has been damaged has been re-sown.
There will be much larger acreage sown
than ever before, and the prospects are very
for bountiful harvest.

Over on Puget sound the hop raisers often {
lear $1,000 per acre from their hop fields In

even cents per pound, aud prices range
rom 10 to 35 cents per pound. In this [
icinity we believe nops could be raised to I
n advantage. and 1t would be well for our z

onclusion whether such crops would not {
ay better than grain. q
