The grain is In nearlyevery instance .cut with headers andthrown, together carelessly in piles sothat but little rain will soak Itthoroughly and cause it to rot in ashort time, as in 1893. In fact the onlybenefit derived from last night's rainwas that it helped put the fire undercontrol and the sooner it stops thebetter, pleised will He the people ofEastern and Western Oregon andWaahingon.

LET'S MAKE AN EXHIBIT. :

;

Wasco County Miould He Weil Kepre-atnie- Ui

at Portlatid and tnalvm. :

Never before in the history of Ore-gon cliu Wasco couuty bare a belteropportunity 10 aaveiiise itself bymaking an exhibit of its products thanat present. Crop In tbe Willamettevalley are nut .vbat tbey should be,and tbe recent rains have proven disastrous to the grain while fruit wasalmost a total failure, hence the rx- - !

nibita at the tate lair a:;d Poi tltudexposition of larm aou pro-duc- ts

from tbe uouulies west of ti.e ;

Cascades wiil not be up 10 the oland-arn- d.

But Wasco county can make an ex-

hibit that will be must attractiveand wiil show to gooi advantagewhen l.r ubt in contrast with theproduct u( otber counties. A fruitand vegetable exhibit can be madethat would be creditable any season,and especially ho this year when thecrops of otber localities are shortboth in quality and quantity. It Utherefore important tbat those who cansupply products that are suitable fordisplay do so. Tbe exhibits shouldbe placed in the hands of some com-petent person who will see that tbeyare phown to an advantage both at thestate fair and PcrtianJ exposition, andwho will explain tbiir merits to tbevisitors of those places.

an Oregon Kloudlke.Messrs. Joles, Young and Miller, of

the Sand Gulch Mining Co., who areoperating a placer mine in Spanishgulch, Wheeler county, came in yester-day from tbeir mine and brought withthem $6200 in dust, the result of a fourmonths' run. Tbey began piping tbefirst of last April witb two hydraulics,and cleau. d up tbe first of August.During tbe season tbey worked on anaverage eignt men in the mine,hence tbeir mine has pid them about$5.50 to tbe man per day, a better resuit than has fallen to a majority oftbe miners who went to Alaska. Thegold they took out is pretty coarse, tbelargest nugget weighing $97, whilethere were many nuggets that wentfrom $1 to $15. It is at present displayed at French & Co. 's "bank, and reminds early settlers of older timeswhen this was the distributing pointfor the upper country mines.

About two years ago tbe companytook up ground in Spanish gulch tbatformer miners considered worthless,and this is the Erst season's good runtbey bave made. Tbey bad sufficientwater to run two pipes four months,and are still running one pipe, whichtbey will be able to continue in opera-tion until tbe water freezes this fall.

Walla Walla's Bonda.Walla Walla city offered for sale

$350,000 worth of bonds some weekssince. Bids came from several easternhouses but when tbey were openedwere found not to be satisfactory andwere all rejected. - New bids were ad-

vertised for and these were openedThursday nigbt. It la found tbat

Morris & Whitehead, of Portland,were the best bidders. The bondswere awarded them, their bids cover-ing ti.e whole Issue of $350,000. Forthe eU-- s A bonds, $133,000 worth,beaiM t-

WEBFOOT DAMPENED.

Heavy Katns all Over the Valley onFriday and Saturday.

Willamette valley had hardly driedout after the rains of two weeks agowhen it was again visited by anotherstorm on Friday and Saturday of lastwpek. Thresniog had been resumedin most localities on Wednesday, andfarmers were making good progresswith their harvesting, but the rain puta stop to all operations, and it is foundthat the last rain will cause more lossthan the first. In some places thewheat, sprouted badly, and will not hesalable pxcept for feed, and oat arebadly colored. It is thought the laststorm will cause more damageormn tbe first, and even if tbe weathershould now remain dry until afterharvest is finished, there will be aheavy Io?9 to farmers. The hop cropis not thought to be materially in-

jured, and if good weather prevailsfrom now until picking time hops willbe about up to the average. As a con-

sequence, of the storm, flour advancedfrom $2 65 to $3 per barrel at SalemSaturday, and it is expected tbe priceof wheat will go ur a few points whenthe new crop is t ffered on the markets.

Money In Plums.

Orehardists this year who have hadprime plums have made a good thingout of them, as the fruit has been indemand east and has commanded fairprices. ' One fruit raiser of The Dallesshipped 1600 crates of peacb plumsduring the season that netted him $800.

This crop was from an orchard ofonly a few acres, and certainly is afirst, rate return, it being as muchclear money as farmers usually makeoff a wheat farm of 160 acres. Suchresults a.s this should prove to anyonethat fruit raising in Wasco county isprofir.abl, for any orchard after itonce begins to bear and is properly

j carc?d for will bring good returns totho owner. It costs no more to care

i for an acre of orchard than it does toj plow a"d seed 10 acres to grain, andtbe results are better. If every farmerin the country were to devote more attention to fruit raising the income ofthe county would be greater than it is.What is needed is more diversifiedfarming.

THE DALLES LAUNDRY BURNE D

The Buildings Almost a Total LosMachine liadly Damagen.

Again last uigiit, at about 9 o'clock,afire oroke out in The Dalles SteamLaundry, and this time the fire fiendaccomplished its purpose by leavingtbe buildings occupied by the laundrylittle better than a mass of tvortblessruins.

The first alarm was turned in at afew moments past 9 o'clock and waspromptly answered by the hose com

.

The Columbia's were tbe first to thescene t.f the MaZf and in short noticehad ant ream f.om the plug on Secondand Court str-o- ts playing on tbetire. They were closely followedby the Jackson company which at--

tached up to the plug on Firt andWashington. The East End and Mt.Hood companies and the Hook andLadders also arrived in good time andin about 20 minutes six streams, fourfrom tbe piugs, one from tbe engineand one from tbeO. R. & N. shops wereplayiutr hard on the fire. It had a goods;art. however, and burned obstanate-l- y

and for a time it looked as if itwould spread to the surrounding build-ings. Tbe Cosmopolitan Hotel wasin danger of catching for a time andif it had the D. P. & A. N. warehousawoulc nave been In considerable dun-ge- r.

A bard fiht- - of a little over oi.ehour ht '.h under control, and altbougii the D P. & A. N.Co.'s office was in the same- building asthe laundry it was injured but slightlyfrom water and somewhat torn upby tbe furniture being moved out

The new water svstem proved itselfto be the thing needed and the pressure was reduced but little, in spite ofthe amount of water being used, itstood at 100 pounds being reduced butfiye pouuds witb all the streams turnedon.

Th buildings destroyed were theproperty of Mrs. T. Baldwin and OtisSavage. Both were old building thelatter having being erected by Mr.Snider over 20 years ago and used fora long rime as a resturant, and was anold landmark in tbat part of town.The building originally cost probably$3000 but was not worth a great deal asit was neglected and in a poor shapeand although it was not insured theloss would not reach $1200.

Tbe Savage building was also anold affair and although two rooms arebadly gutted it can be repaired at acomparatively small expense. It wasalso uninsured.

Mr. McAllister's loss is not as heavyas was at first supposed, nearly all ofthe goods and considerable of tbefurniture was saved, while much of themtchinery was injured but sligbtlv.Mr. McAllister being out of town atthe time of the fire W3 could not 'earnexactly what bis loss would amount tobut it will not in all probability ex-ceed four hundred dollars.

Mr. Smiley, the foreman in thelaundry, stated that be was in thebuilding at about 8 o'clock and thefire bad gone dowa in tbe Engine andstoves to such an extent that he doubtsthat it could bave caught from eitherof these, and is of the opinion that liwas of incindary origin. It may havecaught however, in the same place Itdid a few days since, but as there wasnone on tbe spot until It bad gained agood headway it is difficult to say positively how it originated.

Nothing has been reported stolen,which is probably due to the work oftbe fire patrol, as the police kept watchover all goods tbat was carried out.Considering everything good workwas done by the department, althoughthe usual number of curiosity seekerswere present, who belong to thatclass that will not lend a hand if need-ed. I h is was particularly noticablewhen the fire first broke ou Two orthree men were allowed to haul eachcart to the fire while dozens ran byand refused to lend a 'hand. The spacethat sucb peraoni occupy at such

place is needed more than thair

B1NGER HERMANN TALKS.

He Favors sheep Grazing on the OregonTimber .Reserve.

Hon. Binger Hermann, commis-sioner of tbe general land office, wasin Portland yesterday, and was inter-viewed by a Telegram reporter con-

cerning sbecp on tbe timber reserves.Here is what be said;

"While at home on this trip I bavebeen giving more than usual attentionto the subject of sheep grazing on thetimber reserves in tnis state. I havestudied this question for many years,but in view of the position taken by

the secretary of agriculture recently, Ihave given the matter still furtherconsideration, and I mut say that Idiffer from Secretary Wilson.

"Now, I am in favor of taking thesheep off the reserves in most localities.For instance, in New Mexico, Arizona,and other states where it is very dry,it is highly necessary tbat the sheepshould be kept off, and tbey are. Buthere in Oregon, wnere there is somuch rain, and where tbe forests arenearly all of fir, there is no necessityfor removing the sheep. There isplenty of grass, and there is absolutelyno danger of sheep injuring thegrowthof fir.

"The latest statistics show that Ore-

gon is at tbe head of the list in thewool business. Why should ne cripplethis great industry by restricting thegrazing privHege when such restric-tion can not possibly benefit tbe forests.

'The reports of the deputies whoare rigr t in the forests, and who seewhat is going on, do not indicate thattbe sheep is detrimetital in auv way totije forest or to the young growththere.

"Now, I contend, as I bave la tbepast, that so long as the sheep do notharm tbe reserves, that they should beallowed to graze there and thus help tofoster one of our leading indurtries.

"It is possible to pre.vent any injurywhatever arising from sheep grazingon the reserves. All tbat is necessaryto limit the uum ber of sheep allowedon them to so many bead, and limitnumber of months in each year tbatthe sheep shall run at large on tbem.

"There, with one or two other re-

strictions, will be a vafeguard againstany possible damage that could arise.

"Now, I am heartly in favor of keep-ing all catltc or sheep off the Bull Runreservation. This is necessary tokeep tbe excellent water supply ofPortlacd pure. No sheep are allowedin tbat locality and none should be,bui where ibere are no special reasonsfor prohibiting such grazing in OregonI think it would be a great mistake tostop It."

If you want to pure base 250 bead ofsheep just apply to Mr. Dad Butts andhe will give you a bargain.

FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.

Vanderbltts to Get Control of a ThroughLine Across the Continent.

A New York dispatch dated August27, says: " It is learned on excellentauthority tbat the Northern Pacificcompany, some time ago, disposed ofits eut re holdings of Oregon Railroad& Navigation Company preferred to abanking house in this city, which isclosely indentifind with Union Pacificinterests. The Oegon Short Linewhich is controlled by the Union Pacific, is tbe owner of practically all thecommon stock of tbe Oregon Railroad& Navigation Company. Tbe cootrolling interest in the preferred stockof tbe latter corporation has beenowned jointly by the Union Pacific,Northern Pacific and Great Northernthe holdings of these lust two beingequal in amount, but tbe Union Pacificholdings bei g much larger than thoseof either of the others. By the transfer of the Northern Pacific's-interes- t,

it is inderstood the Union Pacifics eontiol jf the prefened stock

of the Oregoo R til road & Navigationtbe common stock of which it alreadycontrolled through' its relations withtbe Oregon Short Line."

The transfer of this stock to tbefriends of the Union Pacific meantbat in a very sbort time the U. P,will take charge of tbe O. R. & N. andO. S. L roads, which will togetherwith the other roads owned by theVanderbilts will give tbem atinuous line from from New York toPortland. And it is not likely theywill stop eveu there, for they willwant a road from the Atlantic to thePacific, hence will probably extend ondown to i.he mouth of tbe river. Whenthis is done, it will make one of thegreatest, if not the greatest railroadsystems in the world, and its Pacificcoast terminus will spring into a citytbat will be second only to San FranCisco on this side of tbe continent.

THE DOCTOR'S MISTAKE.The doctor made a mistake in the num

ber and called at the wrong house. Nowoman calls a doctor after she is once

acquainted withthe remedial valueof Dr. Pierce's Fa--vorite Prescriptionin all diseases anddrains common tothe sex. Withouthumiliating questions or local ex-

aminations themi cure is accom-

plished by theuse 01 tnem " Favorite

medical advice if needed. This medi-cine is harmless in any condition of thesystem and can be taken without tbeslightest fear of bad consequences. It con-tains no whisky or alcohol. There is notan iota of anything narcotic in it. Therelief it gives is permanent. In this itdiffers from many preparations whichgive temporary relief only by deadeningtbe sense of feeling with narcotics, andthe dangerous stimulants tbey containcreate an appetite for strong drink.When a dealer offers a substitute forDr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, re-member these facts.

When their diseases are deep-seate- d

and of long standing, women will findit to their interest to write to Dr. R. V.Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., who has had won-derful success in curing diseases of wom-en, fe gives advice fi-ee-
