il son. J. Bolter and wife. and Mrs. /
,wn last night on their way to the /
ate fair at Salem. Mr.. Bolter is I
uch pleased with the seasOnable and +
uch needed rain. Lower Trout t
eek that runs through his. farm has s
een dry for months, for the first time i
lring his nineteen years residence at .
lat place. The springs have nearly n
/ failed and the wells in the valley r
ave all had to be sunk deeper to get C
ater for domestic purposes. Strange o
say, Notwithstanding all this. seY- J
al farmers in the valley have raised Il
lree fairly good crops of alfalfa from c

Most people in these parts have heard II
the sliding mountain short dis y
nee below the Cascade Locks, and q
le trouble and Inconvenience it has
used the o. r. & N. Co. for many e
ears, through the moving of the track T
ward the river. The company has E
,w force of men at work trying to T
medy the evil. There is a lake on I
le mountain side, several hundred b
ct above the river, half mile in Il
myth, ,ana 100 feet deep in the middle, o
hose waters find their way to the fl
YER over the soapstone formation a
,ep beneath its bed. AS the lake has q
D outlet except from beneath, it is b
opposed to cut deep trench in the q
ountain sufficient to drain the lake Fl
y. The result of the experiment G
i'll be watched with interest and, it i,
hoped, prove effective. r
