at 1915, and the steamers
Dalles City and Regulator were passed
through. 1t is expected that the D.

pected.
Everything is favorable for good |
run of salmon, the river falling rapidly |
and the water becoming clear. but the |
royal chinook refuses to run in these |

to catch enough to pay expenses.
There seems to be very few fish in the |
liver, at least fish that want to be
caught.

lleton so that they may be enabled to
lear the noted orator speak.

of fool hardness but very poor
ldgement.

'ly reports times lively in Crook =
,unty, and money quite plentiful, the
