upen Columbia River.

Senator Teller, of Colorado, in 6
speech st Lewiston, Idaho, a few days
ago, said:
IL shall be prepared at all times to
support your senators and members in
all laduable and proper efforts to open
the Col,sAbia river to the free trans.
ports11on of tie grain that you grow in
this country. 1 believe in rivers my
self. I believe in railroads; but 1 be-
lieve after all, the greatest thing for a
community is cheap transportation by
water. And L am told that you pay
now three or four times as much to
carry your wheat to the sea as do the
people of Chicago who live twice as
far from it as you do, because they
have the great lakes and the Erie
canal. When you have opened this
river so that your boats may go from
here to the sea, your freight will not be
IA cents bushel; it ought not to ex-
ceed or 4 cents. probably should
have'voted for every appropriation that
should be sug gyested by your represen-
tatives if I had not seen the river, but
[ shall vote for it understandingly and
with greater zeal now knowing that
you have such a great grain belt along
these rivers and so much to be trans
ported when the river Is made
navigable to the sea-"

IN A LONDON HOTEL,
Convenience and Conceits That %

Conveniences and Conceits That sas-
prise American Visitors.
The American visitor to London who
stops at certain hotel in that city
finds many novelties and conveniences
that are not known here in America,
where hotels are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t has an Amer
lean plan dining-room, but only q
French bill of fare. 1t has an Indian
room, where an Indian chief in the cos
tune of his country prepares native
dishes for those who desire them.
In this hotel each guest is known by
the number of his room instead of
his name, and it is rather odd to an
American to be addressed as "Mr. &c.,"
as though he were a convict in the pen
itentiary.
On each floor, day and night, are to
be found maid, valet and waiter,
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come
home at night, if you are man, you
find your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed away in a chest
OF drawers. If you are a woman, the
maid attends to frills and furbelows
as though she were hired by you es-
pecially. Guests never bother with
their keys-the maid or valet on the
floor takes charge of the key and is
ready at any time to open your door.

Model Fruit Farm.

W. p. Butts and D. S. Dufur, while
on business trip this morning, stop.
ped at the farm of W. n. Taylor in dry
hollow and were shown something
about the fruit industry from practi-
cal standpoint. Mr.. Taylor has 20
people engaged at the present time
packing prunes. grown in his own or
chard. WHICH are shipped daily to the
Chicago and other Eastern markets.
He has an orchard of about 40 acres of
all varieties and states that be will
have in the neighborhood OF q ears of
prunes, alone, besides what other fruit
he has already sold and that which
will be ready for the markets later on.
1t will be we'll worth the time of any
one who desires to know what this
country Is good for to take the time to
60 and see Mr.. Taylor's fruit growing
and packing establishment, as that
genial gentleman is only too glad to
show any one what he is doing, and at
the same time is capable OF explaining
gil the little details of this future great
industry of this section of the country.

ual conversation with Times-Moun'
raineer reporter General Williams
stated that it was the general opinion
that Governor Lord would call an ex
ira session of the legislature to assem-
BILE in October, the chief duty of which
would be the election Of U. S. soma
tor to take his seat at the assembling
of the next congress in December.
Upon the Philippine problem the gen.
eral expressed the view that 1t was the
gravest and most important issue that
had faced the American people since
the civil war. Viewed in any light the
question was complex and required the
greatest craftsmanship and the final
decision of the peace commissioners
with congressional and executive sane
tion should receive the support OF
every citizen.

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinquent taxes of Wasco
county, as shown on the rolls now in
the hands of the sheriff, are $6O, 900, an
amount almost equal to the indepted-
ness of the county. Every citizen will
doubtless admit that this state of
affairs should not exist, and that all
taxes should be collected. On account
of hard times in the past the county
court has shown leniency to taxpayers,
but that leniency has reached the
limit, and the court cannot wait longer
on deliquents to make settlement.
For this reason a warrant has been at
tached to each delinquent roll, CON-
manding the sheriff to collect all taxes
by seizure and sale of property. With
the bountiful crops now in sight. there
can no longer be any reasonable ex-
cuse for the non-payment of taxes.
The sheriff is bound under oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the coliec-
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can
save the cost of seizure and sale of
property by settling their taxes at
once. ROBERT KELLY,
Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco County.

TIE CROP OUTLOOK.
Regular Report of the Government Crop
and Weather Bureau

and Weather Bureau.
Beemer S. Pague, section director
Portland, Oregon, sends US his regular
report regarding the crop outlook from
which we CLEAN the following facts
In Western Oregon reports continue
that 'the grain is not turning out as
expected" and "the grain crop is not
as good as it was last year." These re-
ports are quite general. The expected
crop was very large, and this was due
to the very favorable weather from the
latter part of May to the middle of
July; the weather then became dry
and warm rather suddenly, which
checked the filling of the heads; in ad-
dition, the wheat aphis developed with
great rapidity, and their ravages
materially affected the spring grain by
J not permitting it to fill properly.
These are the causes which prevent
the crop from being as large as was
expected, or as large as in 1897. The
wheat, oats, and other grain crops are
good, but not as good as the producers
had reason to expect.
Hops are making good growth and
picking will begin at any time after
the 26th inst. The yards are, as rule,
in good condition, and the quality of
the hop is superior to those of the past
few years. At the present time. there
Are fewer hop lice than is usual.
Bartlett pears are being packed and
shipped: the crop is an unusually good
one. The fruit prospects continue
most excellent. Peaches are good
crop except in the Willamette Valley
counties, and they are being Eshipped
in large quantities. The apple crop is
very large, but infested with the Cod
lin moth. The prune crop is the
largest ever had in the state. Warm,
dry weather is necessary to save the
prune crop. Pasturage is fairly good
and stock presents an excellent az
pearance. There have been fewer
fo~est fires this year than usual. and
the result is the air is but little i'm
pregnaLeQ WlJn smoke.
In Eastern Oregon the change in |
temperature was most beneficial to |
animal and vegetable life. Harvest
ing operations will continue for the |
next six weeks, though by the middle |
of September the bulk of the grain will
be secured. The reports continue to
be good concerning the quality of the
grain. The grain has commenced to
move to tidewater. The warm weather
ripened all the spring-sown grain-in
places too rapidly--and the result is,
it is somewhat shriveled. The grain
crop, as whole, is thoroughly salts.
factory.
The second cutting of alfalfa is about
finished, and the reports from the
stock country indicate a full supply of
hay for winter use.
The fruit crop is in excellent con-
dition. Heavy shipments of peaches
continue; the weather has been very
favorable to the proper maturing of
peaches. Prunes are coloring. Bart
lett pears continue to be shipped. The
crop Of watermellons is very large.
The week closes with no adverse
to report; but, on the other
hand, everything points to the success
'ul conclusion OF large crop year.
