be displayed as they are received from
, all parts of the United States.
a gentleman who came in from
Dufur today said the farmers had be-
gun plowing in that section, and if the
colo weather holds off fifteen days a
cOnsiderab BILE amount OF fall wheat will
yet be sown in that section.
Times are indeed hard now, but
with the opening of the locks, new life
will spring up and d boom in real
] estate at least may be expected. This
t will stimulate other business, and all
branches will feel the beneficial effects.
Why should not the farmers of
Wa5co county feel jubilant? They
have been favored with an abundant
rain, the prospects for a rise in the
prices of wheat are favorable. and the
Cascade locks are finished.
judging from the tone of the London
dispatches about wheat il would seem
that "a rise in price must result within
the next month, therefore it would not
appear to be advisable for farmers to
be in hurry about selling.
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
The Dalles assembled at the residence
of Mrs. N. B. Sinnott for the purpose
of arranging for next Thursdays ban
quet, and appointed committees to

A number of election bets were
placed yesterday. Most of them were
! three TO one on Mckinley on general
results and even on Waco giving Me-
Kinley 300 majority. Today the bets
have been two to one on Mckinley.

who decorated the B l!win op-rt
house for the grand rally last night
The decorations of white and gold
were Indeed handsome, and showed
| that the ladies who arranged them
were true bimetalists.
Up to 3 o'clock 1920 votes had been
cast. $40 in East Dalles precinct, 243 in
| Bigelow, 216 in Trevitt and 25l in
West Dailes. The total vote of the
four precincts will probably reach
1900.
No finer day for election than this.
The sun rose and beamed upon a clear
the voters from reaching the polls.
Evidently there has been very full
vote polled throughout the county,
since the weather has been most favor
able.
All day the cry of "hurrah for
Bryan" and "hurrah for Mckinley"
have been heard on the streets. though
there has been but little rowdyism or
boistrousuess shown. In fact it has
beon a very quiet election day con-
sidering the intensity of sentiment
shown on both sides.
On Thursday Nov. 5th, 1896, the

vast enthusiasm among their many
friends and admirers. They were

much in evidence.
