Bryan and seweIl Club Organized.

On Saturday evening, August sth, pur-
suant to a call published in the Record,
those interested in the organization of a
BRYAN and Sewall club met at the Nevada
hotel. The parlor and sidewalk in front
was crowded when called to order by
J. A. Denton, who placed in nomination
Mr.. n p Dooley for temporary chairman
and W. A. Fuller for secretary. Mr..
Dooley on taking the chair opened with
short talk, thanking those present for the
honor, etc. Mr.. D.. L. Bathurst, who was
in from Spring valley, was asked to address
the meeting, which he did in manner
which showed deep thought and study, and
was well received. He carried them back
to the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth
Rock down through series of pretty pict-
ures which protrayed the issues down to the
present time. and gave an excellent illustra-
tion why silver should be lceosA.led BY shis
government at ratio of 16 to /. The name
of Hon. j. A. Denton was repeatedly called,
and in his address he raped the kuuckles
Of the goldbugs aud Mckinley supporters
repeatedly that brought hearty cheers from
those present. He gave very spirited ad-
address aud advocated the organizing of a
club Immediately. N. P. Dooley was put
in nomination for permanent chairman, but
asked to be excused but was forced to
withdraw his resignation and accept the po-
sitiou, w. A. Fuller was nominated for
permanent secretary.
A committee on Resolutions and Bylaws
was appointed by the chair who named A.
Denton, D. L. Bathurst, J. Jiles, C. 0.
Newell and w. D. Prewitt as the committee
who will report at the next meeting The
books were thrown open to receive sigma,
lures, when some twenty-five or thirty i'm.
medistely signed the roll. 1t was strictly
non-partisan organization, and its object is
to support the silver standard bearers of the
nation only, aud no party questions will be
allowed to come before the club. The mem
bers began Immediately to throw in thei
contributions towards defraying expenses O.
the club and to help the good work along
The club is au assured success and its mem
bers and promoters are gratifed at the Yer,

call Of the chairman. The books are nov

The addition of Senator Squire to the

It's effect in the northwest section of the

A Disappointing Haul.

Some folks say, said fisherman, that
if fish once gets into a pound net it
never gets out until it is taken out; but
as matter of fact fish often get out of
pound nets. 1t is common for Sleeps
head, bluefish, Spanish mackerel and
shad to get out of them. I've been to a
pound net on Sunday and counted 2Sj
bluefish and when the net was hauled
on Monday found only four or five. The
fish get in and if they find the opening
and get started right they can get out.
They follow one another like q flock of
sheep.-Chicago News.

from an exchange: a young English
man was negotiating with dealer foi
a horse. The horseman eXpatiated on
the many good points of the animal

1T seems to me, Mr.. Muggins," re-

They Had a Good Time.

Last Saturday evening the Elks
chartered the steamer Regulator for
cruise on the Colum bia, and with their
wives and lady friends left here at 9
o'clock for down river points. They
went down to Lyle where they tied up
for awhile, and the 126 who composed
the excursion party disembarked, and
amused themselves by clambering
around over the mountain side in the
moonlight. After devoting a couple
of hours 70 enjoying the outing at
Lyle, they again boarded the vessel
and steamed back to The Dalles, arriv
ing here at A. NJ. Sunday morning.
To say that the Elks and their guests
had good time lis putting it pretty
mildly. for there was nothing but
jollity during the entire voyage. The
cabin of the Regulator was elegantly
decorated with evergreens, and three
elk's heads were tastefully mounted
among the frs, while the lower deck
was converted into dancing hall, and
to the strains of excellent music. those
who so desired, spent the time in
dancing both going and coming. In
addition to the other amusements, an
excellent lunch was spread, consisting
of SANDWICHES, ice '.ream and cake,
which was greatly relished by all. Tne
excursion was enjoyed by all, and, it
is to be hoped, will be repeated some
time during the summer.

Condition of Cr. ps.

The bulletin issued from the Oregon
climate and crop bureau on June %,
says of the condition of crops in East
ern Oregon
The warm weather, while it has not
been of benefit, has not been of any
special harm, though it, continuation
would absolutely ruin the wheat crop.
Inc weather conditions have been so
favorable 80 far that should there be
no recurrence of the hot winds the
crops will be good. In some sections
of Morrow county the dry, hot weather
has been harmful to the grain crop;
the same in portion of Wasco. Sher-
man and Umatilla counties, but the
presumed damage is not so far very
great. Srring-Sown grain is less able
TO stand the dry weather than the fall
sown. Correspondents report that
grain we'll put in in good summer-fal.
lowed-ground, will make good crop,
no matter what the weather.
There are no improved fruit condi-
tions. Some fruit continues to fall.
The fruit as whole is superior to the
crop of Western Oregon. Apples in
the Hood River country were but little
effected by the weather. Peaches,
pears, prunes' and cherries promise to
stand the current weather and to
mature satisfactorily. Berries are
plentiful and the weather is favora BILE
to them.

The bulletin issued by the depart
ment of agriculture for the month of
June concerning the crop conditions
of the country, shows that there is a
iiminuation in the acreage of winter
wheat in some localities, but taken
throughout the entire country. there
is an increase of 572, 900 acres over that
seeded last year, while there is large
increase in the acreage of spring
wheat. The average condition of the
wheat crop is 99.9, which indicates
rat the Wheat crop for 1895 will be
| rye. In other countries The wheat
GRO is about up to the average. In
CIR ,at Britain, Spain and Italy the
crop is Comparatively short, but in
france, Germany, Austria Hungary
md Russia the crop is up to or above
he average. Still owing to the =
most failure in Australia. the .worlo 3
wheat supply will be short this year.
