Their cannery has been running day

Germany, and resided in The Dalles
for a long time, having worked for
Judge Liebe twelve years and left here

Today 81. S. Hanna left at this Office
a basket of sweet-water grapes that
were of the finest flavor of anything we
have ever tasted in the grape line.
They are crisp and fresh, and at the
same time almost as sweet as raisins.
They were grown on Chenoweth creek,
about six miles west of The Dalles.
There are at the Commission Cos.
store today about 40 boxes of peaches
from Seufert Bros. orchard that are
simply beauties. Half of them are
from 10 to 104 inches in circumfer-
ence They are very nice samples of
Wasco county peaches, and would
make an attractive display at the Port
land exposition.
In the will of the late Richard Clos
ter the Indian claim of deceased was
bequeathed to Giles Patrick, who had
been absent from The Dalles num-
ber of years and was thought to be
dead, but Judge Liebe received tele-
gram from Patrick, dated at Ferndale,
CAL, Sept. 18th, and he will claim the
amount, whatever it may be, when
awarded by the government.
The band concert yesterday under
the leadership of Mark Long, was fully
as entertaining and the program was
as attractive as those given by the
band while Mr.. Peterson was leader.
Since Mr.. Long has thus shown him
self to be capable leader, why should
the band desire to send away for
director? They had just as well pay
him salary as to pay it to some one
from abroad

university in Seattle this year as never
before. In the past few Jealous par

calling for meetings, and instantly
there appeared animated discussions,
by not few football
gestures" Preliminary committees
have been appointed, and early this
week the Young men will organize
their Bryan and Mckinley clubs, and
sessions, in which the ques-
tions of the day will be debated, may
be looked for,
