The wheat crops for 1899 is begin
ming to come in and is increasing ir
amount daily so that the warehouses

good a price as the market can af
ford.

'aving had delightful time and con- :
iders that there are no countries as
interesting to the traveller as those c
7hich he he has visited. While both t
ountries are charming places to visit
q does not think be would care par Z
iculariy to remain during his lifetime u
D either place and considers Oregon L
ood enough for him. He was aston d
shed at the difference between the
wo nations as the Chinese are follow b
lg after their customs of cen nturies ago, i
lille the Japs are strictly up to da.e, n
nee they copy closely after the more "
ivilized and enlighte ned nations. fl
Shortly after o'clock last evening I
n alarm of fire was turned in and in a
short time the ever ready b
remen were on their way to the scene b
the blaze. with the carts. 1t was o
,und to have been in The Dalles
team laundry and although the blaze b
ad good start the prompt work of c
illing hands prevented the spread c
{ the flames. It was started by fue |,
urning out and was due rather to de- 81
,ctive carpenter work than to any "
ther cause, as the cross pieces in the a
eil;ng were up against the bricks and L
ynited by the heat. The blaze was t,
revented from spreading by bucket j.
rigade until stream was turned on "
'om the plug on Second and Court
treets when the fire was extinguished. ?

John Wannamaker, the great mer- b

rty to sell he does not enter it in his
rivate book and sit and wait for a
uyer to ask him, but he goes to the
uyers and tells them he has property

Extensive real-estate advertiser in the
