AL Henshaw's largo Shepard dog,

Reports from all over Eastern Oregon
and Washington state that the wheat
fields are In better condition than ever
known, and the indications are that the

A story is told by reliable exchange
Of a boy who was raised by his father,
who was widower, entirely apart from
female society, and he was never pre-
mitted to see one OF the lovely creatures
until he grew to manhood. His first re-
mark on seeing a groop Of young ladies
was, Father, want one OF them

Mrs. L. L. Taylor, teacher in Dist No.
| 10, just south Of town, informs us that
one day this week she and all her
scholars accepted an invitation to very
fine dinner prepared by Mrs. G.. L. Baker
at her home near the school house. II
is needless to add that they appreciate
such kindness.
The ball at Condor on the night OF
July 4th promises TO eclipse anything OF
the kind given in this county for years.
We learn OF people from all parts OF the
county coming to enjoy themselves on
this occasion. The music will be fur
nished by y. +. Shut, lead violin; Bob
Robinson, base viol, with his sister Net
tie as organist.
At the little town OF Grant, Sherman
county, there are only six buildings re-
naming since the food. The water
washed through the town, and the citi-
zens were forced 70 the hillside and to
live In tents. Twenty-Five buildings
were carried away by the food. The
machinery Of the distillery was all saved
except the worm and vat.
j. II. Downing returned home Satur-
day from Portland, where he went AZ a
delegate TO the Grand Lodge A. +. & A.
NJ. He says a portion Of Portland was
pretty well inundated by the food, and
that several large fish were caught in
Ladd's bank, and that It was common
amusement for the ladies TO fish in the
streets from the sidewalks.
There are no handicaps TO Bro. Shut,

hisrepublican competitor, notwithstand-
ing the precinct was "a republican. A

Mr.. Wm Smith, who lives on splen-
did ranch at the mouth OF Hay creek,
was in town Friday and Saturday with
hack-load Of those fine Royal Ann
cherries, which he raised on bis place.
II is needless to add that they went like
hot cakes, at l0c a pound. They are
very good thing for the appetite. That
is, after fellow eats few gallons he
doesn't feel like eating any more for an
hour or 2.
Alex Hardie went to Arlington this
week expressly to find out how soon IL
viii be possible to ship wool East from
that place. He is raliably informed that
trains will be running East from Arling-
ton within two weeks from now, which
is indeed welcome news to thousands of
people in this portion OF the country.
The road west Of Arlington 10 damaged
more, and IL will probably be three
weeks before it will be completed to The
Dalles, and about six weeks before regn-
lar train service can be had through to
Portland.
Geo. q. Sears, republican. OF Portland,
evidently is hard man TO down" at
an election. Two years ago he ran for
. assessor OF Multnomah county as an in
dependent candidate and won by a large
majority. The "nachine" politicians
knocked him out again for the nomina-
tion for sheriff at the primaries for the
late election, and he ran independently
again, and beat the regular republican
opponent by majority Of 1865 votes
ont Of about 10000. He has many friends
in Gillian county who are glad to learn
of his success.
