' "' No finer weather for harvesting" could have been asked for than has

prevailed throughout Eastern Oregon.. the past six weeks. Not a drop of

has fallen, and the heat has nothson an Inatanae as to interfere with; ---- ; .

work. . As a result farmers have garn-

ered nearly all their grain in goodshape, anil have harvested one of the

.. best crops ever gathered in the InlandEmpire.

The Washington . state grain com-

mission has fixed a new grade for rat-

ting wheat. It is as follows: Choice' milling 60i pounds; No.' 1, 58 pounds;

No. 2, 56 pounds; No. : 3, 54 pounds.' These are minimum weights. Last

year No.' 1 wheat was graded at 59

pounds. 'Oat and barley grades remain.. the same as last year, though somechange may be made in-tb- e descrip-tio- n

of brewing barley. . There will bebut two grades of barley. No. 1 brew,log and No. 1 feed.

and say they enjoyed the experienceof a ship wreck very much. Theofficers of the boat gave them everyattention .possible, taking them offthe boat safely, and providing themconveyance to The Dalles by rail.They were determined to have a boatride on the Columbia, and will return to Portland on the Flyer.

Today A. S. MacAlllster and J. O.Mat k have canvassed the town soliciting subscriptions for purses to be of-

fered, foe the speed.. pragram at thecoming fair. They have met with ex-

cellent success, the business men hav-

ing subscribed, liberally, which in-

sures good pnrses being had. "It is ex-pected the purses this fall will attractsome of the' best racers on the coast.The other features of the fair will alsobe more attractive this fall than for-

merly. . : y :: . ' .

." . It was a. mistake ' yesterday statingthat Capt. Hosfford was at the wheelwhen the Battie Bell went ashore.Capt.' McNulty had charge of the boatwhen the accident occured", and as heis one of the most experienced steamboat masters on the river it is certainthe- - accident could not have beenavoided. It appears that there was aheavy wind blowing and the boat notpowerful enough to withstand boththe current and the wind, was carriedonto the reef that projects just belowthe efdyon the Oregon side.

The big harvest festival parade withwhich the Spokane fruit fair will openthis year on the 4th of next month willbe something' very grand. It will beat least one and a half miles long. Itwill not be a lot of advertising floats,either. There will be nothing of thekind. The intention will be to makesomething ' beautiful. Every floatmust be first class or it will not be per-

mitted to enter the procession.1 All,too, will be in keeping with thn occa-sion of an harvest festival celebration.There will be the sweet pea float, andthe strawberry float,and the raspberryfloat, and the calla lily float, and soon, all uniting to make a harmoniouswhole hich will be extremely fine.

The great railroad' rate., war, whichwill end on .September 21, .originatedover the Canadian .Pacific differen- -

tials, and that road made the first opencut with a view to ca.ching KlondiKetrade. Under the rate - war all thewestern roads lost mqney-; but thetraveling public had the benefit ofcheap rates east and west.

One day last week Joe Murphy, aClock county sheep man, died verysuddenly at bis camp near Diamondlake in' the- - Cascade :. mountains. Hehad just eaten his breakfast and wassitting by the fire ..smoking, when hefell over dead, presumably from theeffects of heart disease.

' Theymust be seen to be appreciated, andthe ladies of The Dalles are requestedto call and examine them. 2d

Dun's commercial report for lastweek says: "The sales of wool havebeen only 5,280,500 pounds at the threechief markets, against 18,010.400pounds for the same week-las- t year,and 8,812,000 pounds for the same weekin 1892. The feeling grows that" theprices demanded at the West cannotbe maintained, and until wool sells atmaterially' lower-price- s the manufact-urer cannot meet the existing, market

for poods. Prices for eoods do . notchange, and a "considerable number ofthe mills will shortly shut down unlessthe situation improves."

This forenoon the D. P. & A. N.'Co.gave about 100 Dalles citizens a ride ontheir new boat the Flyer, from thewarf to Crate's point and return. Therun of eight . miles was made in 25

minutes, with 140 pounds of steam, andthe propeller making only 150 revolut-ions to the minutes. When workingat its full capacity the boilers are sup- -

Dosed to carrv 250 pounds of steamand the propeller to 'make 350 revolutions. This is more than doublethe speed developtd this morning.The boat runs very smoothly therebeing- but little iar. and there is nomore rocking than is experienced onthe larger boats. Those who madethe trip this morning all pronouncethe Flyer a perfect success.

mer schedule of rates during Septem-ber and until Oct. 10th.

Wheat is steadily advancing and hasgone up five cents during the past,week.. Today Moody's warehouse waspay nie 55 cents a bushel, and barleywas quoted at 80 to 85 cents. At these-price- s

farmers can afford to raise-grai-

but if wheat would go to 75cents, with such crops as has been har-vested this year, the farming commu-nity would be really prosperous.

TUB ISLAND-- FLIEB.

No Handsomer Boat Ever Flowed theWater of the Colombia).

The D. P. & A. N. Cd's new steamer,Inland Flyer, which arrived here at2:30 this afternoon, is beyond questionone of the prettiest and most conveniently arranged passenger boatsever built. When'she landed at theRegulator dock with Capt. Charles M.

Aiden at the helm, she was. a perfectpicture of neatness.and wa9 greeted by

some 200 people. She presents everyannearance of DOSSessinfiT speed thatcannot well be. surpassed. While onher trial trip she did not developmuch speed, owing to her machinerybeing new and not working to perfec-

tion, yet when once in goed working-order- ,

the little craft will certainly:ut the water at the rate of from 25 to30 miles an hour. - -

In outward appearance there-seem- s

to be no place on the boat where sbibuilders could have improved. Thedecks are commodious and the upperpromenade deck is protected by a netting, making it a most convenient andcomfortable place for' passengers infair weather. The lower cabin aft, orladies' saloon, is fitted as elegantly aspossible, being supplied with upholstered furniture, and every convenience lor the comfort oi passengers has been supplied, while the frontcabin, intended for gentlemen, is comfortably seated and presents a mostinviting appearance. On the upperdeck are the pilot house and two cabins, one intended for the buffet, andthe other for an observation station.The latter when completed will befurnished with seats similar to thoseof a Pullman coach and may be con-

verted :nto four berths. Throughout,the little vessel is perfect, and if itdeyelops the speed expected will be amost popular boat with the travelingpublic.

The Flyer is 110 feet long. 18 feetbeam and 7 feet bold. Her boiler iscapable of carrying 250 pounds ofsteam, and her engines are sufficientlypowerful to drive her at an enormousspeed, even against the swift current ofthe Columbia.

The D. P. & A. N. Co. are certainlyto be complimented for their enterprise in building this fine boat, whichis intended to bring The Dalles withina six-ho- steamboat service withPortland.

A VOICE fKUH CROOK.

Representative n illiamson Says CrookCbauty has Little to Ask of the

Legislature.Hon. J. M. Williamson, representa

tive elect from Crook county,' was inthe city yesterday, and gave the Times- -

Mountaineet reporter a few momentsof his time before leaving for Portland.When asked what legislation Crookcounty would ask, he said: "Out inCrook the people are not asking foranything in particular. At the specialsession I might say the first thing theywant is for the legislature to organize;then they want us to elect a senatorwho is "all wool and a yard wide."Then they would like to have the statesack opened up suffiicient to theneeds of the past two years. Afterthis they want the legislature to ad-

journ and go home.""As to county division so far as I

am advised, most of the people do notcare. Most of the people are opposedto creating the new county of Sutton, I

but there are a few who want it. How-

ever, Ixhink the legislature should begoverned in this matter by the will ofthe majority."

.Concerning the Cascade forest re-

serve, he said ' Crook' county 'stock-men asked permission to pasture thereserve Tinder liberal regulations.

Mr. Williamson was asked whom befavored for United States senator, andto this question replied: I have noparticular choice. Anybody who willfaithfully represent, the state will dofor me."

A Ghastly Find.Wapinitia, Or. Sept. 13 1898.

ED.

I wish to call the attention of thecoroner and the public in . general tothe fact that a few days ao a party ofour citizens were' camping on Salmonriver, near the road from here to thesummit of the Cascade mountains,when by chance one of the party, Mr.J. W. Brown, discovered between twolog some bones protruding throughthe bark, that had evidently laid :overit, aod on examination found it to bea siceieton, intact' except the ' head,which was gone. The skeleton was alarge one and must have been a man.No appearance" of clothing was seen.The Iar that the head was gone'' and'no clothtug to be ' seen looks like amurder had been committed,' appar-ently one or two years ago, and per-ba- ps

if investigated would "clear up amystery of some missing one.

THE ORKOON1AN CALLED DOWN

Col. Enos Corrects Home Erroneous statements.

Recently the Oregonian has beengiving some "history" concerning theacquisition of territory by the UnitedStates, in which It has made some

ilrl statements for which Col. E. WEuos called it down in. the followingarticle:

Goldendale. Wash,, Sept. 2. (Tothe edi'or.) In your editorial of ' August 5 you say that, "In our war withMtxico we took' California and NewMexico in place of money," leadingyour readers to that the UnitedStates charged Mexico for the nearlytwo year's time it took to whip her.In your editorial of August 15, on theMexican war you say we paid Mexico$lf,000,000 for the territory we receiv-ed, 526,078 square miles,- - as a "consolo-tio- n

purse," thus admitting-tha- t yourfir. t statement in your issue of August5 was incorrect. You intimate in this

editorial that we knewthat Califor jia was a gold producingcountry before we got it. If this istrue, why did the Californians erecta monument to Marshall as the manwho first discovered gold in the state,more than T a year after if becameAmerican territory? You also say thatGreat Britain would have acquiredthis territory if we had not. The absurdity of this statement is apDareni.In 1823 James Monroe, a democraticpresident, promulgated the Monroedoctrine, and Great Britain, at thatacquisced in it. Great Britain neverquestioned this doctrine until 1895,when she undertook to make a landgrab for Venezuela. A democraticpresident, Grover Cleveland, twistedthe lion's tail until he created a finan-cial panic in Wall street, and causedGreat Britain to submit her claims toarbitration. In view of this history,why talk about Great Britian landgrabbing on this continent when wehad a democratic president like JamesK. Polk, who prosecuted the Mexicanwar?

The war with Mexico grew ' out ofthe boundary dispute betweeu . the re-

public of Texas and Mexico. Texasclaimed to the Rio Grande river, ' andher claims covered a large portion ofthe territory we received from Mexicoand Texas on the settlement after thewar. By the treaty of annexation, theUnited States agreed to settle theboundary dispute with Mexico andTexas was to hold all of the territoryas her own, as fixed by the settlement.On the settlement after the war wepaid Mexico and Texas 925,.000,000 forthe territory we received from bothparties, $15,000,000 going to Mexicoand $10,000,000 to the state of Texas,

He isone of the most daring aerofaaatsof theage, and .his balloon ascension andparachute jump is the wonder of all,and bis .fall of thousands of feetthrough the air, and his alightingsafely on the ground is a marvel. Thisis only one of the attractive features,as inside the tent will be more towonder at than the balloon ascension.It affords amusement for the old aswell as the young, and should not bemissed by anybody.

CUBA WANTS ,

INDEPENDENCE

Annexation . to- - America . is

Not Desirable. .

Havana, Sept. 15. The predominant feature of the situation is thefeverish and widespread agitation ofthe Cubans in favor of the absolute independence of the island at all costsManifestoes are circulated Inviting tie

of Spanish merchants tothis end, and pointing out that citherannexation or an American protectorate would mean death to all tradewith Spain in a couple of years.

General Maximo Gomez, who. onlya fortnight ago, gave expression toextremely moderate views, counselingharmony and patience, now expresseshimself as strongly in favor of absoluteindependence or nothing. He saysthe Spanish element cannot afford todelay uniting with the Cubans upon a"necessary basis for the establishmentof conditions that will forbid and prevent the United States grabbing andtaking easy advantage of the treasurewhich both the Spaniards and Cubanshave fought for at an expense ofrivers of blood on each side." ' -

General Gomez says, if reportsspeak truly, that those who fear independence belong to the same familyof cowardly curs who fled from Havanaat the first rumor of bombardment.These, be declares, are, however, aminority, and to quote him further,"almost the entire Spanish populationremainp, protecting their homes anddefying the dangers of war, and willremain to unite their efforts with thoseof the Cuban party working togetherwith the Cubans for developmentof the island and the return of prosperity."
