cents bushel, delivered this fall. AT

The Oregonian of yesterday ex-
pressed the belief that the United !
States marshalship would fall either to |
Col. o. Summers, of Portland, or |
Sheriff T. J. Driver, of The Dalles.
The OregoniaD seems to be well in
formed on this subject, for Mr.. Sum-
mers and Mr.. Driver certainly have |
the inside track with the latter slight
ly in the lead.
This morning Deputy Sheriff Kelly |
attached The Dalles Soda Works as

gun by Barthodi Parodi to recover

attachment was levied.

early train this morning, and left on
the boat for Portland. Mr.. Patterson
is prominent applicant for the ap-
pointment of collector of internal rev.
enue, aud having the endorsement of |
many prominent Eastern Oregon re-
publicans, including Congressman
Ellis, his chsnces for the appointment |
are good.
Farmers should not feel disappointed |
in the fall of wheat to 80 cents, as it is
the result principally Of the shortage
of storage at seaports. Every indica-
lion points to- another rise ere long, !
when the price should go higher by
from two to five cents than It is at
present. The outlook at present is
that wheat will be anyway from so to
30 ceptsi The Dalles ny the 1st of
October.
There were many glad hearts in The
Dalies last night when at o'clock the
familiar whistle of the Regulator was
heard. A telephone message from
Hood River announced that the boat
had left there at $3.50 in the afternoon,
and when IL did not arrive on time,
fears were entertained that some acci-
dent had occurred. The delay was
caused at Husbands. where landing |
was made against "a mud bank the
wind forcing the boat upon the beach,
so that two hours were required to get
it afoat.
