There aresgrapes enough raised in
the immidfate vicinity of The Dalles
to keep small winery running, but
no one seems to want to try the exper-'
iment. We have grapes that will COM
pare favorably with those of Califor-
mia, and wes have grape land that can
not be beaten any where.
Emil Schanno has gathered up quite
lot of fruit and sent it to Portland to

Under the new laws all nursery men

the same may be shipped for one year
from the date thereof.
The Dalles can justly feel proud of !
its water supply At the fire the other
day seven large streams were kept run
ming, at the same time the usual guam
tity of water was being used from the
mains, yet at the end of an hour and a |
quarter, the reservoir had only been
lowered one inch. AS it is sixteen feet |
it will be seen the supply would have
stood this drain for 1872 hours, or eight |
days.
A large drove of hogs are at the
stockyards coming from Klickitat
county this morning. We understand
that stock hogs are very low in price,
and that the price of hogs in general
is much lower than it would be if the
hogs were larger and fatter, the asser-
tion being made that most of them are
not in condition to make good bacon.
Prices range from q to cents.
Mr.. Wickham has been experiment.
ing in growing hops on the high table
ands of Wasco county for several
years. He is an old hop grower hav-
ng followed the business in New York
md understands it thoroughly. In
'peaking Of the results of his expert
nent he says: 81 find them as prolific
md of as fine quality as ever saw
,rown anywhere, and also find them
'qually prolific on the high lands and
would say that with proper
are and cultivation the high lands OF
Vasco county could be made source
# profit by planting them to hops.
