Miss Kirk, a 14-year-year-Old girl,
has furnished the people OF Athena
first-class sensation. A desire to
travel entered her mind one day last
week, and. allowing the desire to over
come her Judgment, she gathered up
IA head of her fathers horses, and
started south. Travelling over most
precipitous country for three days, she
arrived at Ritter, 100 miles away; but
at that point was overtaken by the
marshal of Athena, who took her and
the horses in charge, and escorted the
wayward girl back to her home.

FASTEST TIME YET.

The Attendance at the Fair Yesterday
Was Good, and Racing First-Class-
Attractions at the Pavilion.
The attendance at the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon was very good,
but still it was not near as large as the
card hung up by the officials war;
ranted. The betting crowd is very
light this year. The desire of getting
something for nothing does not seem
to have struck The Dalles people
Owing to the early hour at which we
go to press we did not get the pace on
the smile dash. Three horses, En-
counter, Davis Boy and Blonde, were
entered in the pace, Blonde was
scratched out, leaving only two horses
to compete. At the second trial
Starter Perkins sent the horses off.
Side by side the horses moved around
without break. Every one thought it
was going to be dead heat, but COM
ing into the home stretch Davis Boy
moved up ana won by half length in
2:27, which is the fastest time ever
made in harness on The Dalles track,
In the second heat the horses moved
around together until they went
around the last turn when Encounter
passed Davis Boy and kept the lead,
winning in 2;27, The third and fourth
heats went to Encounter, time 2:29 and
2:34.
The s-mile dash brought out lot of
good ones. The talent backed Baby
Ruth. Volta second choice, Mowitza
third, and Picnic and Annie Rooney
in the field. The starter had very lit
tie trouble in getting the horses off,
They came past the grand stand we'll
punched and on the back stretch they
began to move up, and they came
around the last turn at break neck

saysi
1.-THE difference in the '94 and '95
crops in Gillian county may be COM
puted from the fact that in the great
Mayville wheat belt threshers ran two
weeks this year and 10 days last year,
But our farmers are by no means dis
couraged, and in the south half of the
county four-tifths of all the plowed
ground will be in grain next year.
Three-fourths of this land is already
seeded. as the farmers have learned
from experience that fall snwn grain
makes the surest crop. The fall grain
looks splendid now, much of it being
three inches tall,

DUFUR, Or, Oct. 7, 1896

Ed. Times Moamtaineer:
Your correspondents appear to have
all been away for some time on a va
cation or strike, or something of the
kind. Change of proprietors, and
change of politics perhaps, is where
for is why. Excuse the solicism, but
people are curious to know where the
cat will jump, and how far it can
jump. 1t, iguratively speaking of
your paper, has made a lusty spring
and maintains such q sprightliness
that no one need doubt it as fixture,
permanent and useful,
Dufur is still among the hills of
Fifteen-Mile and in spite of numerous
towns, villages and burgs springing
up near by is growing.
Mr.. Gulliford is buildinga substan-
tial residence that bids fair to eclipse
any residence in the place both for
appearance and accommodation.
Three or four other buildings are un-
der construction, and taking it all in
all our towns growth will fairly aver
age with former years.
Messrs, Mcdonald and Mode, two
enterprising young men, one native
of the place the other resident for
some years, start tomorrow for Tilla-
nook, expecting to find employment
in the lumber mills of that section,
with possible show ofdigginga clam,
raking an oyster, shooting duck,
bear or deer, We wish the young
men success. Q. r. x.

A Strange Accident.

To drown in dried leaves appears
strange to many; but it appears that
loose hops in bins large enough will
suffocate person who is so luckless as
to fall into them, as quickly as pool
of water. The following from the
Geryais Star Is the account of the mar
row escape hopdryer had in one OF
these bins from heing drowned: 80
seph Kennedy, while az work around
the storehouse Sunday, accidentally
fell from the loose boards into the mass
of loose hops. He was rescued by his
brother, who had hard work to find
him, and brought to the surface in an
unconscious condition. 1t was fifteen
minutes before he was brought to life
again. 1t may seem strange, but dried
hops are as dangerous as quicksand,
and worse than water to fall into.

Tobacco Culture,

During the past season Messrs.

Dalles Cigar Factory. have been expert
menting In tobacco culture here, and
have succeeded in producing a quality
OF tobacco which they pronounce al
most equal to that grown in the to-
bacco'producing states of the South.
The samples they have on exhibition
are, to all appearances, of excellent
quality, and in some respects superior
to that which is imported. Messrs.
Ulrich are of the opinion that tobacco
can be grown successfully in this
locality, and if this Is true, a new and
profitable industry will be opened to

Reduced Rain Road Rates for Birss.

A gentleman from Biggs informs us
that the o. r. & N. Co., have met the
demands of the Sherman county far
mers for a reduction of freight rates
on wheat from Biegs. Under the new
schedule, wheat is carried from Biggs
to Portland at the same rate as from
The Dalles, thus enabling wheat buy
ers at that point to pay Dalles prices.
AS result wheat went up. to 40 cents
at Biggs yesterday, and the rise has
caused unusual activity among farmers
in getting their product to the rail
road. If this rate prevails during the
remainder of the season it will be
thousands of dollars in the pockets of
Sherman county farmers.

Agricultural College, is in the city.
His visit to The Dalles is for the pur-
pose of gathering the horticultural and
botanical statistics of Wasco county,
also to procure samples of soil for an

The past few months Prof. Hendrick
has been actively engaged in securing
like information from Southern and
Western Oregon, and the statistics he
has secured have been very complete.
Any assistance in his labors that he
may receive from the horticulturists of
this county will not only be benefit
to the college, but will also be profit
able to the fruit growers themselves.
