What St. Louis Is and Has.

ST. Louis is fast becoming one Of
the largest commercial and manuiac-
turing centers Of the world, and has
therefore much Of interest to visit
ors aside from the coming Worlds
Fair.
1t has a number of mercantile hOus-
es and manufactures ranking first in
their respective lines, the name and
fame of which have spread through
out civilization.
Probably none of these will appeal
| so strongly to sightseers. from points
| both Of immensely and general inter
est. as will the plant Of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Assn. When, in 1860,
| Mr.. AdoIphus Busch took charge Of
the concern which was then known
under the firm name of E. Anheuser
& Co.. it was one Of the smallest OF
| It's line in this country, but under Mr..
Busch's sllillful guidance its business
increased phenomenally. New build
ings sprang up like mushrooms, but
on foundations as strong as fort
resses, so that now the handsome red
brick buildings, trimmed with gran
lite and white stone, present a beau
tiful city in themselves. From an
OUTPUT Of 5000 barrels in 1865 its sales
increased to more than million bar
rels per year in less than 40 years
However. the keystone to the sue
cess Of this great establishment was
Budweiser, which on account OF Its
rare mellowness, fine flavor and eN-
Quisite taste, Immediately became a
favorite among the beer-drinking PEG
ple at all points of the globe, and now
nv far exceeds in sales any other
/ brand of. bottled beer.

LAST WEEKS WEATHER.
Moderately Warm the Fore Part, but
Cool and Showery the Last
Threshina About Half Completed.

The week was moderately warm
and dry until the 5th, when ii became
cool and shoWery, says the govern
ment and climate bulletin for the
week ending September S. The first
five days OF the week We're ideal for
harvesting and threshing Spring
wheat cutting is completed with the
exception OF few late fields.
Threshing is, perhaps, about one-h2lf
completed. The yield, although con-
siderably below the average is, how
ever, of such excellent quality, and
so much above what was expected at
one time during the summer, that,
considering the good price, growers
are we'll satisfied.
Oats have been a very good crop
west Of the mountains. Corn has been
cut in Klicllitat county, and potatoes
are about all dug there. In other sec
lions the digging of potatoes has just
begun A good crop is expected, al
though some blight is reported. Hop
picking has begun in a few early
yards, but it Will not become general
until the 10th, or, perhaps, as late as
the 18th. Although the conditions
have improved some in the last three
weeks, it is not thought the hop crop
will be up to the average this year.
The fruit yield is variable. In some
localities it is abundant. and in 9th
ers poor, or only fair. Pears will be
generally abundant Peaches have
done exceedingly we'll in the irrigated
districts. Apples will not be more
than a fair crop. Prunes are abund-
ant in Clarke county.
The rains have been Of great benefit
to pastures, late vegetables, and root
crops. Considerable blowing has been
done. although more rain is needed to
put the soil in good condition for
blowing. A small amount Of fall
wheat sowing has been done.

DEAL IS CONCLUDED.
Merger Electric Light and Power
Companies at PendIeton

The long looked for deal between
the Northwest Gas & Electric Light
company and the PendIeton Electric
Light q Power company, was CON
summated this morning, when the
property of the local company was
transferred to the syndicate, says
last nights East OregOnian. Isaac
Anderson of Philadelphia, and Geo.
Ladd Mum, OF Seattle, reached the
city today and at once went to the
office Of the Light & Power company,
where the matter was discussed ana
the transfer arranged.
While the plant is yet in the hands
Of the local company, the deal mas
been made and q, no great date the
new company will assume control
and management Of this plant as well
as of the Walla Walla plant. Accord
ing to the intent of the CONTRACT, 1t
will be the duty of the new company
to have an all-day current in the city
by the first of the coming September
one year from the present month.
The company has as yet not deter
mined on its headquarters, though in
reality the head OF the concern will
be in the East, for the company is
in the hands of Philadelphia capital
lists and will be worked and improv-
ed by that means. There will be a
board Of managers in this part OF the
country who will look after the de
tails of running the system, but the
board of directors will be in the East,
and they will delegate to the mana
gers their power.
Inside of IS months at the latest
all of the towns between the power
plant on the little Walla Walla and
this city one way, and that place and
the city OF Walla Walla on the other
hand, will be lighted by the power
furnished by the new company, and
not only will they furnish light, but
they will furnish power as well.

TIME WORKS WONDERS.
City Sexton Bentley Visits Old Home

Absence.

City Sexton Bentley has returned
from a brief visit to his old home in
Minnesota and Michigan, fully i'm
messed that time works wonders and
that Walla Walla is the best town
after all. 1T had been A years since
| set eyes on the old home place, but
| have no desire to return" he de-
clared this morning. Out Of the hun
dreds of friends and relatives | could
find only four left and the old towns
have so changed that l hardly recog-
nized them. The trip was pleasant
in some respects and sad in others.
Sad when one contemplates that the
old time friends have passed on
Fall rains have set in earlier than
usual and the two states are all
awash," Mr.. Bentley said in discus
sing crop conditions Farmers have
10 sit idly by and watch their crops
go to ruin. The hay crop in many
sections is practically failure, owing
10 wet weather, and much Of the
Wheat has been spoiled on the same
account.
"Hundreds of acres which had been
cut and stacked is saturated and prac-
tfcally worthless. Much of the wheat
has already began to sprOut. Unless
warmer weather sets in, the corn
crop of the state will be a failure.
There was every prospect Of a big
corn crop but cool weather prevents
it from ripening.
During his travels Mr. Bentley Wis
tied IA cemeteries and declares that
with one or two exceptions. Walla
WRlla has the finest cemetery Of all
seen.
