years 1t is not the result of specula-
tion. but of the growth of business and
the surrounding country, says the

Yesterday afternoon Auction eer
Crossen sold 20 head of horses at pub
lie auction for L. n. Sargent. They
nearly all large animals and brought a
good price considering that they were
sold in this way as we'll as the poor
condition of the horse market. This
afternoon two ponies were auctioned
off on the square on I'd and Court
streets.

Mays, left for Antelope this morning

Yesterday the Diamond Mills began
operations once more, after being
closed down for repairs for couple of
weeks. 1t is customary to give the
mill thorough overhauling at this
time of year so as to guard against any
delays after the wheat begins to pour
in. The mill cannot fill the orders
received for flour at present so that
to them delays are dangerous.
Yesterday, the little folks who gave
the entertainment for the benefit of
the soldiers monument fuud at the
home of Miss Genevleve Fish. for
warded eleven dollars 10 Portland
which was the proceeds of their en-
tertainment. They are as delighted
with their success as were the audi
and will undoubtedly give like en-.
tertainment in the near future.
Edward A. Johnston, who is en-
ployed by Davidsons in their large
mill at HOOD River, is in the city today.
He states that the lumber was piliug
up to such an extent in the yards that
the mill had to shut down for few
days in order to give the men time to
store it properly so that it would not
oe ruined by careless piling. Captain
Davidson has proven that he is an ex-
perienced mill man and has one of the
finest milling plants in the state.
Tne eyes of The Dalles ladies young
and old were feasted today in MIR.
Phillips millinery store. as this is the
first day of her fall opening and maids
and matrons gathered TO see the many
beautiful pattern hats thai she has
on exhibition. Her stock has been
purchased entirely in one of the leading
San Francisco wholesale houses and is
equal, if not superior to any that has
ever been put in Dalles' store. Those
who have cot attended the opening
are missing a treat.
A New York syndicate is negotiat-
ing for the purchase of every salmon
cannery on Fraser river. The scheme
is to secure control of every establish
ment, and several of the largest can.
neries have already decided to go into
the deal. The cannery men agree to
take half cash and half stock, to be
dealt out by McGovern & Company the
firm which engineered the formation
of the combine among few of the
Columbia river Gamers. There are
6o canneries all told ank they are
valued at about $40, 900 each.
The price of wheat stands the same
as it did few weeks ago when the ,,
first of the season began coming into |
market. For first class wheat 50 cents
is being paid, while the other grades
vary according to the quality. some
bringing as low as AZ cents. Every day
th eamount coming into market from
the Oregon and Washington side of
the river increases and is proving to
be of better quality than was hereto
lore reported. The.splendid condition
of the road leading from the Klickitat
valley induces many who would not
BRING their wheat here otherwise to
laul to The Dalles.
A party of young people turned out
ast night with Ward & Robertson's
vaggonette and four frisky steeds,

pite of the fact that no one knew
7hat their object was or where they
7ere bound for, everyone within ten
locks of where they passed knew that
something had broke loose" aud are
till guessing as to wha. it might have /.
cen. 1t was insinuated that their
estimation was q watermelon patch
q the suburbs and that their intep-
ons were not honest, but this was e
sputed by Joe Robertson who seems
have as good control over his tongue
he has over the team he drove, and
)thing could be learned fl ON him.
