/ The force OF carpenters at work on
J the Rowe building in the East End are
! pushing the work forward as rapidly as
possible. AS soon as the building is
completed it will be used for ware
house to store fine lumber and the like
of Rowe & Co.
Elaborate preparations are being
made.by the management of the fair
which begins here on Oct. 20. A Asplen-
did speed program has been arranged,
and every inducement possible will be
offered to draw creditable exhibit of
farm and orchard products.
c. F. French and family, of Grass
Valley, are in the city. They were
called here on account of the illness of
Mr.. French's father, r. E. French,
who was prostrated with stroke OF
paralysis Sunday night. At present
Mr.. French is convalescent.
Hon. Jos. Southwell and wife, of
Eight-Mile, are in the city today. He
says that things in that vicinity are
quite lively and prosperous. All the
farmers having finished hauling their
grain to market, the fall grain already
sown, the only hard job left is putting
in the winters supply of wood.
The lecture of Rev. Parker. of PEN
dleton, at the Congregational church
last night was we'll attended and highly
appreciated by all who we're present.
The manner in which Mr.. Parker put
the duty of the parent toward the
teacher was wholesome, and offered
many valuable suggestions to parents.
We are pleased to state that Albert
Crause, the young gentlemen en-
ployed by Wood Bros, who, about
two weeks ago, received a cut on the
left arm severing an artery, is
much improved. DR.. Sutherland re-
moved the stitches yesterday after
noon. and the young man is out of all
danger from blood poisoning.
A long line of wagons loaded with
wheat still continues to arrive from
the interior every morning. In con-
versation with one of the freighters
from Tygh Valley, we are informed
that nearly half of this years crop re-
mains yet to be hauled. This is very
good news, for the wheat crop Of 1896
will not be near as small as it was at
first thought to be.
A correspondent writes from Dufur
giving an account of the organization
of the Bryan clab at Kingsley last
Saturday night with membership of
go. He says. 1.-THE Mckinley club
that was attempted here on the same
night, has nine members. A. Frazier,
H. S. Turner, M. J. Anderson and A.
]. Brigham, of Dufur, and E. B. Dufur.
of The Dalles, assisted in organizing
the Bryan club.
Quite bit of excitement was caused
this forenoon in the East End by a
runaway horse attached to a small
road cart. Quite cloud of dust was
seen in front of the brewery NOV
ing westward, it being caused by
the runaway animal, and before it
could be stopped, it landed among the
wheat teams in front of Moody's ware
house, causing no great damage. Ex-
marshal Blakeney being there at the
time offered an always-ready hand by
getting the reins in working order,
and stopped the horse, thereby pre-
venting serious trouble.
M. Cahen, of the firm OF Bes-
singer & Co., returned last evening on
the I0:45 from a few days visit among
friends in the metropolis. He reports
business to be very dull for this time
of the year at that place. He also paid |
a visit to Portland's Industrial Expo |
sition, in which Mr.. Cahen takes great
interest. After looking over the diff |
fereut exhibits he says that Wasco |
county was well represented with all |
kinds of fruits and garden produce, but
he says the whole display in general
lacks great deal of being superior to
the one of '95.
