the following day at 10 o'clock and men

Many merchants are seriously Grip

now the great flood has started up the
agitation with renewed vigor. If any

Chauncy Dcpew calls attention to
the interesting fact that for the first
time in his experience as a railroad
man he finds that westbound traffic
far exceeds the eastbound. The bulk
of ordinary traffic is from the West to
the East in ordinary times, consisting
of food products bound to the great
eastern centers and to the seashore
for foreign shipment. Freight that
goes West consists entirely Of
manufactured products. The excess
in western shipments means that
enormous stocks OF manufactured
goods are coming out for distribution.
It is good sign of returning pros

City Council.

A special meeting of the city council
was held last night, full board being
present with the exception of Council
men Johns and Lauer.
The object of the meeting was to adopt
measures compelling the construction of
sidewalks, and an ordinance was passed
providing for the improvement of Union
street from the south line of Fourth
street to the north line of the alley be-
tween Fifth and Sixth streets.
On motion it was ordered that COM
mittee of seven, to consist of three MEM
bers Of the council, three citizens who
had been members of the council, with
the mayor as chairman be appointed,
and authorized and directed to draft any
necessary amendments and additions to
the city charter, for presentation at the
next session of the legislature.
On motion it was ordered that the
street commissioner repair the cistern al
the intersection of Second and Court
streets.
There being no further business
council adjourned.

A False Report.

There was report in circulation yes
terday that Agent Hill and some others
had been arrested on account of the ex-
press robbery, and a statement appeared
in the Portland papers that he had been
discharged. In justice to Mr.. Hill, it is
proper to say that the officers deny that
any arrest has been made as does also
Special Agent Beckwith. The latter
also informs us that Mr.. Hit has not
been discharged, It's not likely that
any arrests will be made until some sort
of evidence is discovered that will justify
it. At present the case is certainly a
much larger one than the detectives an
ticipated, and there is nothing that can
be called evidence duplicating anyone
discovered up to date.

window lost her balance and fell. The
train was, stopped and backed to the

uninjured.
Quite number were present at the
organization of literary society last
evening at the Congregational church.
The following officers were elected

Huntington. The Dalles has long been
in need of such society for the benefit
of the young people, and old as well,
and an opportunity is thus offered for
all who desire to enter heartily into the
work to do so. Do not sit idle by and
complain that The Dalles has no advan-
tages in this line, but meet with the
society next Wednesday evening in the
Epworth hall of the M. E. church, and
so improve this opportunity.

The beautiful time" is here. Bright
warm sunshine after a warm shower
last night. Although the leaves are
turning, suggesting the pinching cold
in the near future, now the sky is clear,
the air warm and soft, yet braciIg, al
most leading one into the delusive error
that surely this splendid weather must
last forever. So far in the season there
has been but little rain since the rains
of September; but we haveInot been in
need of more. The grass on the hills is
excellent, better than for years before.
Where the hillsides have been bare for
yeras, now there is grass in abundance.
Although the mountain range as usual,
is entirely eaten out, stock in general
are in excellent condition Although we
complained of too much rain this spring,
we must thank that rain for our fine
grass this fall.
1 received a letter from Payette,
Idaho, one day last week, stating that
hay was selling at $3 and "a wheat 60
cents per 100 pounds; potatoes one-half

equally as cheap. Everything that is
tried to be grown yields an abundance.
Hops can be grown in great perfection
as well as cereals and vegetables.
Money is as scarce there as here.
Wade Shrum and his wife are up from

fortune to sample some of the grapes
from her place; also I can speak in high
favor of the fruit that came from Burnt
Ranch. Those places seem we'll adapted
to fruit growing. There is always
plenty of fruit there when there is, per-
haps, none any place near.

AQuartz Mine.

Mr.. w. H. Butler of Caleb was in the
city yesterday and made us pleasant
call. He showed us specimen of
quartz taken from mine recently
located by him in Spanish hollow. The
rock is of good quality and from his
description of the formation, a porphyry
bedrock gives promise of being some-
thing permanent. This mine. lies at the
head Of the guich wherein early days
placer mining was carried on. and as the
rock carries free geld Mr.. Butler natur-
ally thinks he has discovered the source
from which the. placer gold came.
