The last issue of the Northwest
Herald printed in Portland, gives a
cut of the Moody warehouse and
credits it to Pendleion, 1.-The greatest
wool market in the world" The edi-

current events to some extent By so
doing he will learn that The Dalles Is
the greatest wool market in the North
west, and that the Moody warehouse
is located in this city, in fact was the
first general warehouse built in East
ern Oregon.
Since our last report, we have per-
sOnally visited large part of the
central, southern and eastern divisions
of Sherman county, says the Moro
Observer, and we feel compelled to
say there is now no doubt that the
crop of 1899 has been badly damaged
throughout this entire section of
country. While some of the fall-sown
grain had matured sufficiently so that
it was beyond danger from the hot
wave, the spring grain was late, and
has been generally damaged. This
constitutes 40 per cent of the total
crop of the county, and WILL not only
be small in yield, but of low grade as
we'll.
