Myers reports having had delightful
time, meeting many of his old com
rades.
Mrs. George Morgan, who has beer
visiting friends here for few days, re
turned to the Cascades this morning
A letter from Will Moody to friends
here, received this morning, an
nounces the safe arrival of Mr.. Salt
marshe and himself in London.
Mr.. F. H. Rowe, proprietor of the
saw mill at Lyle, was in the city yes
terday. When the canal and locks al
the Cascades are finished, Mr.. Rowe
will established lumber yard here.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. F. Pearce, artists,
who have been stopping here for day
or so, went to Hood River this after
noon for the purpose of getting
sketches of the scenery in that saction.
Quite number of young people are
| in the city attending he convention
| of the Christrian Endeavor. Among
them we noticed this morning Earl
and Meiggs Bartmess, of Hood River.
Mr.. Whealdon reports that the Bun
nell Fishing Co. caught six tons of
salmon yesterday, despite the young
cyclone that was blowing. Up to date
the company has caught 70 tons of fish.
The sound of the blasting heard the
last day or two is caused by the crew
engaged in repairing the telegraph
line. They are blasting out the rocks
and leaving holes sticking in the
ground to place telegraph poles in.
The country is settling up steadily
as is evidenced by the homestead fl
ings at the land Office. This morning
four such filings were made, one near
Waldron, and the others in the
Mitchell, Antelope and Lone Rock
neighborhoods.
The Bunnell brothers who are fish
ing on the Washington side think
they have found some placer ground
that can be made to pay, and as soon
as the fishing season is over they in
tend giving it a thorough trial. There
is plenty of gold in the bars of the
Columbia, but it is so fine that it is
difficult to save it, yet the Chinese oc-
casionally mine the bars above Cello.
When the public schools Of New
York city were opened the other day,
221 200 pupils appeared in the 40
school houses, where they were met by
1000 teachers. There are only thir-
teen cities in the county, exclusive of
New York, that have each a larger
population than the number of the |
public school children of the metrop- |
oils, which goes to show what a great |
city New York is.
Three carloads of Shropshire bucks
arrived from Michigan last night for
Kerr & Buckley, the sheep kings of
Sherman county. This is move in
the right direction, as the Shropshire
is large bodied sheep. Our sheep,
the Merino, is getting smaller and
smaller until there is hardly enough
of him left to hold the wool on and
keep the roots on opposite sides of him
from getting tangled.
Between the compositors and care
less proof reader, we were made to say
yesterday that we hoped brother
would return from his visit to
Michigan ''regenerated." Now out
side of Mr.. Michell's politics he can
hardly be classed as unregenerate.
What we wrote, and what we intended
to print, was, the hope that he might
return ''rejuvenated, made young and
risky enough to kick a football or ride
! bike.
