LETTER FROM AN OLD RESIDENT
James A. Parish Sends Communication
to His Friends in The Dalles.

A letter was received today from
James A. Parish who is we'll known by
many of our people and who is at
present residing at Norwauk, California.
He says:
Dear friends of The Dalles:-As we
promised to write to the paper, 1 will
do so this beautiful morning. We are
now at our neat little home in California.
This is beautiful country and very
productive.
This has been a dry season, yet, we
have not had famine. We have heard
great deal about the failure of crops
in California but we have travelled from
the state line through to Los Angeles
and have noticed large piles of straw
and immense piles of grain sacked up
and ready for market as we'll as produc-
tive fields. Large herds of cattle were
grazing the stubble fields and 1 have been
told that the cattle would eat all the
stubble down by the time they put the
grain in again. We have also passed
large orchards we'll filed with fruit such
as grow in California, and right here are
oranges, lemons, figs. large peaches,
pears and apples. This is called dairy
country and most of the people keep
COWS and sell milk. If man has 10
acres Of land and an artisan well he
can keep 10 cows and some horses and
is all right financially. We have not
been over to the coast yet, but will GO
soon. We have good neighbors, most
all holiness people, you know that just
suits US. The nights are cool with
heavy dews, foggy mornings but the
glorious sea breezes come up aud the air
is delightfully."- balmy. We can hear the
cars most anytime in the day as well as
the church bells every Sunday, and we
can work for the Lord here. This is al
most like town as we can see IL houses
from our residence and the level roads
are SO lovely,we take but few moments
IN going to town.

A CASE OF INSANITY.
An Insane Person Arrested Yesterday at
Mr. Sechler's Farm.

Yesterday an individual came to the
farm of Mr.. Sechler near this city and
asked for something to eat. Mrs.
Sechler got him lunch and he informed
her that there were number of people
trying to kill him and that he was being
pursued. Mrs. Sechler noticed that he
was mentally unbalanced and i'm
mediately told her husband and William
Spencer about the matter.
They at once investigated and ccn-
cluded that her supposition was correct.
He was continually watching some
imaginary persons and was terribly
frightened. Mr.. Spencer did his utmost
to quiet him and succeeded in getting
him to accompany him to the city where
he was lodged in Jail. There is a pos
sibility that his trouble has been caused
by the excessive use of liquor and that
the illusion under which he labors may
pass away in short time.
He will be examined by physicians
and if they adjudge him insane he will
be committed to the asylum in Salem.
He informed Mr.. Spencer that his name
was Hesse but as it was hard to get any
information out of him, nothing was
learned as to where he is from or where
he intends going.

A large force of laborers are engaged
in excavating for the foundation of

days more it will be in shape to begin
the wood work.
The popular o. R. N. Sunday excur-
sions are certainly appreciated by
Dallesites, judging from the number of
our citizens who take advantage of them
for days outing.
Last night one carload of fine beef
cattle were shipped to the Union Meat

thave made The Dalies their home, and
while here have made many warm
friends who are sorry to see them leave.
Mr.. ]. w. Blake. of Condor, will occupy
the house left vacant by their leaving.
Frank Menefee, Thomas Ward and
/ Edward Baldwin returned yesterday
from trip of several weeks in the
!scountry north of Mt. Adams. They
heard nothing of the fire until Thursday,
when they were on their return trip, and
although Mr.. Ward was heavy loser,
he says he is satisfied that lis family
escaped without any accident.
+ Last Saturday Miss Rosemary Bald
win, of this city, made the phanomenal
score of seventy on the Clatsop beach
bowling alley. Considering the short
time she has practices bowling she has
done remarkable work, and, as far as We
can learn, she now holds the ladies rec
ord for the coast, and at any rate she
holds first place among the bowlers Of
| The Dalles.
The East End had the liveliest appear
ance of any place in the city today. At
least dozen loads of grain as well as
several of wool were waiting for their
turn to unload. But few sales of wheat
have been made as yet and no wool Gales
have been reported for several days.
The wheat market is opening up at so
cents, but the majority of the producers
are determined to hold for higher prices.
Reports of the yield of wheat all over
the county are very satisfactory. We
are informed that many Wasco county
farmers find it necessary to send for
more grain sacks when they come to
thresh, as the supply they have on hand
is inadequate to hold the unusually large
crop, since they made too low an esti-
mate of the amount of wheat they would
have in their stacks. Money will be no
object with the grainraisers this fall.
A narrowing exemplifcation of the
Indifference of certain human beings to
the sufferings of dumb brutes was fur
nished at Pendleton the other day. Ten
stock cars loaded with horses were
bolted there, and it was observed that
from two to five horses in each car were
being trampled beneath the feet of the
others. The man in charge of the
horses, one McCarty, made no effort to
relieve the animals, and the train pulled
out.
Shortly after sunrise this morning il
became evident that the people of The
, Dalles were destined to spend another
unusually hot day. By o'clock it was
} exceptionally sultrY and scarcely per.
ceptable breeze was stirring to make il
more comfortable. As the day wore OF
, it became much warmer and the only

One of the biggest buck sales ever
made on the Pacific coast took place at
Hay Greek last week, when a sheepman
from Montana purchased practically all
the bucks that the Baldwin Sheep and
Land Company had left for sale this
year--about 700 head. The bucks will
be shipped to Montana from The Dalles.
The price is private, but it could not be,
if any, under 81 ,000-a tidy sum to come
from another state to one man for bucks.
This company has sold altogether about
2500 bucks this year.
The Oregon boys are still at Camp
Merritt and it is not defnately known
whether they will go. forward to Manila
or be mustered out at this point. Fri
day 120 of them received orders and
were prepared to go on board the Arizo-
ma with the Eighteenth, but when the
rejoicing was at its height the order was
countermanded. There were some
rumors afoat to the effect that all the
recruits would sail next week on the
Scandia, but little credence Is being
placed in the report until the boys are
on board.
Mr.. Olney, of Portland, maker of in
surance rates for the northwest, is in
the city for the purpose of looking up
| rates of insurance in The Dalles. His
mission is principally to see if the pres
ent rates can be maintained, or if there
is any possibility with the present facil-
tiles for fighting fire of reducing the in
surance rates on property in the city. A
meeting of the water commissioners
will be held this afternoon, when the
subject of the present facilities for put
ting out fire will be thoroughly discussed
and better idea gained of the danger
! to property from fire.
The hop growers of Yakima county
are again calling upon the people of the
surrounding country who desire a

hop fields, to come to their aid to har-
vest one of the largest crops that has
been grown in the county for many a
year. Many who will read this item
have availed themselves Of this opportu-
nifty in past years, and know the con-
ditions and opportunities presented to
families and individuals in the way of g
months outing coupled with the ability
to earn sufficient sum of money tc
materially aid in providing the neces.
stiles for winter.
D. R. Cooper returned last week from
a trip to Lost Lake, where he was il

Glacier. He says dog fish are plentiful
in the lake, and are eating the spawn O
the trout, and it is only a question of g
short time when the trout Will be exter-
minated. These dog fish are very easil,
killed, and he thinks something ought
to be done to rid the lake of their pres

be killed with clubs. 1t is in order fo

HIAWATHA'S LOSS.
Ex-Governor Morrill, Protests to Mis-
souri, Pacific Officials in Vain.

Atehison. Nov. 12-Dick Seitz had a
talk with Ex-Governor T. N. Morrill, on
a Missouri Pacific train coming down
from Hiawatha today in regard to the
recent Missouri Pacific change. Mr..
Morrill, said he received no encourage
ment from H. G. Clark, with whom he
recently talked with a view of having
the division headquarters continued at
Hiawatha. Mr.. Clark said the change
was made necessary when the company
purchased the Central branch, and that
Hiawatha, as division, was out of the
question.
Mr.. Morrill, talked with Mr.. Clark for
two hours, but Mr.. Clark was firm. Mr..
Morrill, was on his way to LeavenWOrth.
The division supplies at Hiawatha were
shipped to Atchison today. Dad Shields,
the Hiawatha car inspector, will be re-
tanned at that place, but he will be
about the only yard employe left. H.
T. KOoutz. the master mechanic, will
be sent to the Crete branch.
