ing and had made no special preparations
for the examination. Mr.. Edwards and
MIR. McDermott have just returned from
Snake river, where they made inspec-
tions of several boats.
A deed is on record in the Office of the
county clerk from o. D. Taylor and
Sarah K. Taylor to George H. Williams
of Portland, conveying for 81 and other
valuable considerations, the two farms
known as the Lair Hill place and the
Rev. w. H. Wilson farm.
The COW belonging to Mr.. J. T. Peters
was stolen Saturday night and taken
into the country. Tracks of the COW
and horses were seen leading from the
barn, which being traced up, lead to the
finding of the animal yesterday, by two
small boys, who returned it to the
owner.
A wedding took place yesterday in
Dufur at the residence of G. w. Johnston.
Miss Annie Neal and Mr.. Samuel B.
Johnston were the contracting parties
and the ceremony was performed by
Justice A. J. Brigham. Mr.. Johnston
is of the well-known Johnston Bros. at
Dufur and Miss Neal is granddaughter
of Mr.. w. L. Ward. The happy couple
will reside on a farm near Dufur.
The excursion party which went to
Bonneville Saturday, returned last
night satisfied with having thoroughly
enjoyed their jaunt. The young people
were royalty entertained and the hours
of their stay passed all too quickly. It
is said the young gentlemen who went
along in the capacity of chaperones,
were the victims of several practical
jokes which considerably disturbed their
equanimity but they all came back
smiling.
Harvesting is now in full blast in all
the wheat producing sections of Wasco,
Sherman and Kliekitat counties. Head
ing is in process near town and Sher-
man county the threshing machines are
ht work. From now on the farmers will
work many long hours every day getting
the products of their years labor. The
transportation companies are looking
forward to handling a lot of grain, and
this fall will be busy season for mer-
chants in The Dalles.
The famous trotter, Fred Hambleton,
which several years ago was king of the
turf in the Northwest, was shipped to
Portland on the Regulator today. He
belongs to T. II. Tongue of Hillsboro,
but has been for season at Goldendale.
Mr.. Tongue was offered for this horse
$4,000 few years ago, but refused the
offer. One thousand dollars would prob
ably buy the horse now. Young Planter,
another horse with pedigree, went
down on the boat also.
Yesterday morning at 7:3O Henry
Bills, Archie McCulley, Chas. Fritz,
Bert Barrett, Will Crossen, Edwin
Riggs, Harry Esping and Gus Bartell
started on their wheels for ride to
Deschutes, distance of about IL miles.
The first stop was made at Mr.. Floyd's,
on Smile, where the riders were shown
through the orchard and told to help
themselves to the fruit. After a short
rest the start was made again and after
a ride up and down hills aud across

valleys, the Deschutes was reached at
O'Clock. The boys were Hospitality en-
tertained at the residence of William
Shelley, where they partook of boun-
teous dinner, the result of Mrs. Shelley's
culinary skill. At 2:30 p. M. the return
trip began and ride of an hour and ten
minutes brought the cavalcade to Mr..
Floyd's again, where a short stop was
made and then a swim in the creek.
The Dalles was reached at 3 p. M, MAX
ing total distance of SO miles without
an accident to mar the pleasure of the
ride. From Floyd's the boys raced in to
town and the bicycles were strung out
for nearly mile.
1t is time to agitate the question of
sending hose team to the tournament
at Vancouver. The Dalles proved last
4th of July that it has abundant mate
rial from which to choose good team
and one that with proper drill can carry
off first honors. Only little over a
month intervenes between now and the
day of the tournament, which will be
held the first week of September. Let
our Firemen take the initiative and the
citizens will give all necessary assist
ance.
Real estate agents complain of the
scarcity of dwelling houses. Demands
are coming in every day more than can
be filed and this is vacation time when
great many people are out of town.
When school begins in the fall and the
usual number of families move in from
the country to give the children chance
for schooling, there will be a serious
difficulty to obtain shelter. The popu-
lation of The Dalles is increasing steadily
and at more rapid rate than most
people imagine. Some neat little cot
tages, if they were built, would find
speedy rental for fair return.

Union Services at the congregational
Church.

Yesterday morning and evening the
Methodist and Congregational churches
joined in worshipping in the Congrega-
tional church. Good audiences were
present both morning and evening and
listened to able sermons by the pastor,
Rev. w. G. Curtis. The morning text
was from Isaiah, ''Hearken Ye That
Seek the Lord The bible in many
places calls to hearken and consider and
this was particular class called upon
to listen. In speaking of blessings in
disguise, Mr.. Curtis used the illustra-
tion of man confined in a dungeon
into which came only few rays of light
through small crevice. This was his
only comfort. One day. hearing work
men as if repairing the wall and shut
ting out the ray OF light, he cried out
"Spare my crevice,'' but it was men
come to open the prison and let in the
full light of day. The application was
made to people who often are affrighted
and fear they shall lose their small
light and with it everything, when the
threatened change is only to let in
greater and richer blessing. The SER
mon was an able one and listened to ap-
preciatively by the audience.
The text for the evening was from
Matt. tx: 21, 'For she said if may but
touch his garment, shall be whole"

Democratic free-silver conventions of
this type are peculiarly appropriate in
the summer time and in an of year

ever we read that old man Isham G.
Harris Of Tennessee, and old father
Morgan Of Alabama, and the venerable

OF course Livingston would grit his
teeth also if he had any. Not having
any, he can only applaud while the 9TH

A more harmless pastime than this
could never be invented. 1t ought to

With that end in view we have writ
ten out this recipe, so that all demo-
cratic free-silver conventions hereafter
may be certain to follow in the tracks
of their illustrious predecessors.

GOOD ADVICE.
Wendell Phillips Talks to the Work
Ingmen of This Country.

Wendell Phillips Talks to the Work
Ingmen of This Country.
My advice to workingmen is this: If
you want power in this country; If you
want to make yourself felt; If you don't
want your children to wait long years
before they have bread on the table
they ought to have, the opportunities
in life they ought to have; If you don't
want to wait yourself, write on your
banner so that every political trimmer
can read It, so that every politician, no
matter how short-sighted he may be,
can read 1t: I'VE never forget. If you
launch the arrow Of sarcasm at labor,
we never forget. If there is a division
In congress and you throw your vote
in the long scale, we never forget. You
may go down on your knees and say:
I am sorry did the act. And we will
say: 1t will avail you in heaven, but
on this side Of the grave-never." So
that a man, in taking up the labor
question, will know that he is dealing
with a hair-trigger pistol, and will say:
1 am to be true to justice and to man,
otherwise, am q dead duck.-Wendell
Phillip.

ARE BIRDS GUIDED RY srARs7
An Attempt to Solve the. Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says If one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer. he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge Of the unfailing
stars. The Great Bear and Orion APP
peared at the same time In our region,
even when the divisions of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mlsts. On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast, when the night Is
dark, but especially when a fine rain Is
falling, multitudes Of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose Of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers Of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. %, 1892. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowfiakes
against the lighthouse Of Hellgoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Heligoland. Toward the end Of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps.
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by its call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap of their wings. But no
bird Is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stars appear; then 1t Is that
the straying bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds In their migrations. But only the
future can tell US whether they really
serve in that capacity.
