Today is Fast day. and the weather
promises to be bright and warm.
This Fast day shows no indications of

which have preceded it, unless perhaps in
regard to weather. which if the above
mentioned promises hold true, will be
better than usual
Union religious observances will be
held at 1870 A. M. at the First Baptist
church, conducted by Rev. B. s. Crosby
the pastor of the First Christian church
on Northern avenue. He will make an
address, appropriate to the occasion.
There are numberless ways of passing
a holiday at this time of year The warm
weather. which sometimes comes along
gives the man of the family fine chance
to put on his straw hat and lame his
back raking up the yard, and making
bonfires of last years leaves. Then there
is the cellar which by this time, usually
gets to be a disgrace to civilization.
The roads about the city are in very
fair condition and he who has a bicycle
and does not ride will miss one of the
opportunities of getting good start on

Moran says that as long as he Ihas
lived in that section he has never seen
such poor roads from the ferry to the
foot of the mountain, and SAYS this is
the main reason that the Kl1ckitat
farmers do not haul their grain to The
Dalles. It would take but small item
to put this road in good shape, and
when we consider what large amount
OF trade The Dalles loses in consequence
of this, it looks as if something should
be done towards putting it in shape.
All due preparations are being made
for the coming fair. The track is being
put in the best of shape. The stables
and pens, in which stock are to be ex-
hibited, are undergoing a course of re-
pairs, the pavilion is being fixed up,
and in fact everything that would make
the fair successful is being looked into
and we can safely say that the coming
meeting will be one of the most success
full we have had for years. Some of the
horses that are entered in the speed
contests are already here and the others
are coming in daily, so that by the 18th
everything will be in perfect readiness.

Cutting Scrape.

Prineville has had another cutting
scrape. This time it occurred in the
O'Neil saloon between II and 1 o'clock
last Sunday morning. During an alter
cation between Ed. Harris and VIM.
Stroud, the former was stabbed by
Stroud.
Stroud, with two or three others, was
seated at table playing cards. A lot of
the cowboys were in town that night
and were having jolly time of it. Sew
eral of them, Harris being IN the crowd
went into O'Neil's saloon, and after tax
ing drink, went back toward the table
where the playing was going on. Harris
went up to Stroud and started a CONVEX
sation with him and all the witnesses
said they thought it was a josh, as they
seemed to be good friends. Several
words passed between them, when Har-
ris states that Stroud jumped up and
grabbed him and at the same time
struck him in the back with knife
and also the left leg.
DIR. Belknap was summoned and at
tended the wounded man. The cut in
the left leg was only slight puncture
and does not amount to anything. The
other cut is in the back at the base o.
the fifth and sixth rib and was about
one and half inches deep and one Ions
and if IS had not been for the bones
might have been fatal wound.
