houses, and are anxious to begin fall

very little fall wheat sown, and with

there can be no plowing done this fall.

be issued only as weekly. Another

A. L. Compton, recently from Linn
county, has rented Fen Batty's farm
near Victor, and will become a per-
manent resident of The county. Mr..
Compton had tired of living in the
land of perpetual rain, and came to

Rowena, aud found S. A. Webber's
little child, who was run over by a
wagon last week and severely hurt,

was terribly mashed, and number of
ribs were broken.

Rev. ]. H. nershner, of Hood River
has accepted call from the First Con-

sters ever located there. What is
Hood Rivers loss is Pendleton's gain.
Young America was abroad in the
land last night with all the boyish
tricks of genuine halloween. Gates
were taken off their hinges and carried |
away, signs were torn down in some |
instances, and all sorts of innocent |
pranks were played, but some of the |
boys on the bluff carried their fun to
far, and may yet get into trouble over
their hilarity.
There is one thing about the people |
of rhe Dalles that is to be greatly adj
mired, and that is, when ever local |
talent appears in aEy form it is ap-
preciated and patronized, as was once
again shown by the large crowd that
greeted the halloween party last
evening. We may be called moss
backs and slow pokes, but we will
never be accused of being unpatriotic.
About two-thirds of the wheat crop

.ations there will not be much of an
ldvance in wheat this year. Farmers
Who are in need of mouev had about
IS we'll let their wheat go at what they
an get for it.
