WHERE THE TRADE WENT.
Reasons why The DalIes Trade Has FaIIen
ON This Year.

| Reasons Why The Dalles Trade Has raIIen
ON This Year.
Because business has been dull dur
ing the past few months, that is, not
uD to the standard of summer and fall
trade in The Dalles, many imagine the
trade of the interior is lost to this
place, but those who have confidence
in The Dalles, and take into consider
alton the unfavorable season, can
see many reasons why merchants
here have not done the volume
OF business that is customary.
1t has been more the force of necessity
than actual desire on the part of for
mer customers of The Dalles that has
caused them to make their purchases
elsewhere during the past six or eight
months. The severe weather of last
February, which froze out many fields
OF grain and made reseeding necessary,
caused farmers extra work in the
spring, hence they did not take time
to come here to make purchases, but
bought largely Of country stores.
Then when harvest was on, rains de-
layed work for several weeks, and
again farmers patronized !, country
merchants. After harvest, and before
half the wheat had been hauled to
market, heavy rains set in which rem.
dered roads next to impossible, aud
for a month past few people from the
interior have been able to reach ~
place 20 purchase supplies. me
elements have done more 70 cut down
the trade of The Dallesthis season than
have the springing up of trading
points elsewhere. The Dalles has non
lost the trade of the interior per.
manently, for when the elements are
again favorable the people will come
here for supplies, for they have learned
by past experience that 1t is the cheap
est and best place to buy in Eastern
Oregon.

hit OF Superstition.

One Of the most literally patr0nlze0
Of the Pennsylvania many passenger
trains is the St. Louis express. which
leaves the Broad street station each
afternoon at 400 o'clock. The regular
gate for the train is No. ii. but at this
season Of the year the rush Of people
10 get aboard is SO great 1t becomes
necessary to open two gates. No. IL
being the nearest. it is the one selected.
The saunterer happened to he in the
station the other afternoon when the
gates were thrown open. Instantly
there was 4 rush for No. II and the
crowd became damned around 1t for a
distance of 80 feet in each direction.
Gate No. 13 was practically neglected.
This way for the st. Louis express"
| called out the ticket puncher at the
gate. This way for the st. Louis en-
press"
But. although his voice was good and
loud. none Of the passengers who were
! struggling around No. II seemed to
hear it. Out Of probably 100 well
| dressed. intelligent men and women
! the saunterer saw but three leave the
| pushing throng around No. II and pass
through No. 13. He asked the gate
man why it was.
Don't know was his answer, eek
cept it's superstition. Afraid to start
on a journey by passing through a gate
with Is as its number, l suppose. It's
this way every time, and will be, I
guess, as long as the number on the
gate is left as it is. l believe that the
most Of the people would rather miss
their train. if it came to that. than take
chances with their superstitious fears.
Funny, isn't it:'-Philadelphia Inquir-
er.

ANXIETY FOR BEyERIDGE.
Last Heard . b Indiana Senator Il

Last Heard e the Indiana Senator He
Was Guaranteed on . Plague Ship.
CHICAGO, July 25.-A Tribune spe.
cial from Indianapolis says: There has
been some concern here over the pres.
ent whereabouts Of Senator Albert J.
Beveridge. Letters just received from
Nagasaki, Japan, dated June 80, showed
that he was quarantined on board ship
near there, with the Asiatic plague on
the vessel.
One OF these letters, apparently snug
gled ashore, was from the senator him
self. He states that the victims on
board were Chinese from Hong Kong.
In the letter the senator says:
Thank heaven Mrs. Beveridge is at
Kiote."
There has been no cablegram from
him since the date Of the letter, al
though occasional cable messages have
been received from the senator since his
arrival in the Orient. Mr.. Beveridge
has been over a great deal of China and
Travelled ver 400 miles horseback
around Manila. He was with Lawton
in advance and was under fire several
times. Advices by mail say the senator
had a close call in one engagement
where bullets were imbedded in a tree
against which he was standing, several
within a few inches Of his head.
