Charles Riley and family arrive
here yesterday from Hay Creek, an
left today for Salem. MIR. Riley ha

Those who have examined Dar
Moloney's wounds say that he is sho
almost exactly in the same place tha
| President Garfield was, the ball enter
ing the left breast and ranging down
ward, lodging either in or near The
right kidney.
Since the club has determined tO
make extensive improvements to the
club house, why would it not be well
to put in a swimming pool? 1t would
be an admirable thing for such hot
weather as has been experienced here
the past few days.
The first load of new wheat from
Centerville was brought to Moody's
warehouse today by c. 81. Curtis, and
was sold for Is cents bushel. The
wheat from that section is No. ]. and
the yield is reported good, though the
average there is not as great as it was
last year.
Ed Thorp. we'll known all over East
ern Oregon, writes from Klondlke to a
friend in Seattle saying that he had
cleaned up S13O,00O mining in eight
weeks. AID is coming back to Seattle
Oh the Portland with his fortune. He
is evidently one OF the few who struck
it rich in Klondihe.
A number of young ladies have
taken in hand the entertainment for
the benefit of The Dalles hose team.
mentioned some time since, and will
be in readiness to appear in the Vogt

did program is being arranged, and
as the local talent always acquit them
selves with credit. The Dalles can feel
assured of being we'll enterta ined.
Some sort of fatal disease has broken
out among the horses in Sherman
county that is interfering considerably
with harvesting. S. B. Adams, who
came in from Moro yesterday. says the
horses after being taken out of the
harness in the evening begin cough
ng and by morning they are dead. He
attributes it to the heat and feed, they !
oeiug fed principally on dry wheat.
Wheat is entirely too valuable this
eason to take chances on its being |
poiled by rains after it is threshed, |
therefore, farmers should exert every |
possible energy to get it under shelter,
ither at home or in warehouses, as
DON as it is harvested. They cannot
ford to allow it to rot in the fields
his year as they did few years ago
7hen it was worth only 25 cents a
ushel.
Hon. W. E. Morrow, clerk of Nor
ow county, came down from Heppner
mis- morning, and while in the city
as the guest of his old friend, W. A
ohnston. Mr.. Morrow says times are
retty good in and about Heppner, the
lrmers having realized fair prices for
they have to sell, and are
arvesting an unusually large crop of
heat for which they will get better
rices than for number of years past.
A woman out in Sakuache, Col, re-
,ntly gave birth to triplets and the
vidence of prosperity was received in
,ch high glee by the community that
le commissioners met and awarded
er 1926. 1t is queer that no fuss was
ade over the husband. He is the ]
How who ought to have received the
,ward. Any one who is so unfortu-
ate as to get them three at time
eeds all the substantial sympathy he
|
IN gather in.
The temperature yesterday was
,mething phenomenal. There was
ut three degrees difference in the sun
I'D atmosphere temperature,t therEom-
,ers registering los in the shade and
q in the sun. Mr.. Brooks, who has
opt q record of the weather here for
years, says he never before saw such
range conditions of the elements. In
N minutes the temperature raised l3
agrees, and remained at 100 until 5
clock.
1t is going to require an immense
Mount of money this fall to han die
10 wheat crop of Wasco and Sherman
'unties, probably three times as
uch as ever before. The two counties
Ill harvest in the neighborhood OF
BOO. 900 bushels, and this will COM
and nearly three times as high
ice as any former big crop has. It
safe to say 75 cents will be the lowest
,ure paid for wheat, and at this price
,750, 600 will be required to move the
op.
Pendleton is 23O miles from Portland,
q wheat distributing point for East ,
n Oregon; The Dalles is 88 miles
om Portland. Pendleton has only =
ilroad transportation: The Dalles r
.s both river and railroad transpor- .
ton. In Pendleton yesterday wheat .
.s worth IS cents a bushel; in The :
alles it was worth the same. What :
,nefit have the wheat paisers of Was ,
county derived from the expendi-
re of 100000 by the government
give them an open river to the sea? !
Last night Fern Lodge, D. of H., :

inments. The occasion was a well :
