vile Sunday, August 14th will be a
genuine old fashioned Rhode Island
Clam-Bake. Round trip fare 80 cents.
Yesterday E. Davis, of Prineville,
sold his entire clip Of wool. $4,000
pounds. for 138 cents round. The
wool was little heavy, but otherwise
of good quality.
The town of Antelope is now with
out physician, DR.. Pilkington, the
only practitioner of the town, having
left. 1t would be good location for
a doctor to settle down in.
A considerable amount of wool was
hauled from the warehouses to the D.
P. & A. N. dock today to be shipped
east from Portland over the Southern
Pacific. The wool was bought by Mr..
Moses, of San Francisco.
About one-fourth of the wool stored
here has been sold, and the average
price received has been in the neigh
borhood of 49, cents. A considerable
amount of wool has been consigned,
and there is whole lot of it that is
still held by the growers.
This morning Lane Bros, of this
city, shipped a stage coach, manu-
factured by them, to Yamhill county,
to be used on one of the mail routes
there. 1t speaks well for The Dalles
when vehicles can be manufactured
here and sold in competition with
Portland.
Yesterday Charles Hilton returned
from his farm in Gillian county, and
reports crops pretty good throughout
the country, though in his travels he
found water very scarce. At nearly
every place he visited, wells and
springs were failing, and the farmers
were alarmed lest there should not be
enough water for domestic use.
Farmers who lave threshed their
grain report yield of from Is to "a
bushels to the acre. This is not big,
but considering that it is an averoge
yield, taking one year with another, it
is a pretty good showing for Wasco
county as wheat producing section,
We seldom have big yields, but we
are always assured of crop.
We thought it was hot in The Dalles
yesterday, but We were not in it when
with up country points. At
Walla Walla it was 113 degrees and at
Pendleton the temperature was from
la to 122 at different parts of the
town, while the voluntary observer re-
ported his instruments showing
of l19.
M. E. Mill er has laid down the
editorial quill and surrendered the
of the Antelope Herald
to Fred N Wallace. Mr.. Miller has
made good paper of the Herald, and
it goes without saying that Mr.. Wal
lace will do likewise. Under his
the people of Southern
Wasco can feel assured thai they will |
be represented by live local paper.
With splendid river affording
every facility for bathing that could
be asked, it is wonder that some |
citizen of The Dalles has
not erected swimming booth on the
beach. If someone would put up a
place that could be hoated along the
beach, where bathers could dress and
prepare for plunge in the
it would be paying
investment.
