country has seen the last OF the boom.

cattle and sheep are in splendid con-

out of the mountains on: their way to
their winter ranges on the prairies.
Cattle will not leave the Cascade re.
serve until fall SHOWS in the higher
mountains drive them down. Then
they will come out to the open country
of their own accord.

Russ long experience enables him to ,
do first class work in every respect,
and he guarantees what he does to be
the best. Prices are reasonable as are
consistent with the class of work he
does. Gold tooth crowns and bridge ,
work specially. Teeth filled and
extracted painless. .

youth, who has been working in the
grain fields near Dufur came to The
Dalles Tuesday last and proceeded to +
hilarilously enjoy himself. ae made
many friends::by his genial and liberal {
ways, and was induced to deposit for A
safe keeping forty dollars with a h
chance acquaintance. The latter took
the first Portland bound train and is n
evidently keeping Briggs money as a
safely as the Portland saving bank h
kept that of its depositors. Biggs al
,wore out a warrant and the officers a,
kept the matter quiet in hopes that the
