25.Trenton Xotefc“W. T.,” writing from this place to Ihc Portland Standard, says:The past season has been one of an-eral business depression, aud although our little city of Weston, the Athens oi Eastern Oregon, no doubt shared the common burden of bard times, yet the , improvement* made give good evidence j of permanent prosperity. We have had ! no building boom nor any unusual excitement. We have simply kept up our steady march of progress with an abiding faith in the future of the town, aud regardless of present adversities. On Main street alone this season, the Hotel company. J. Procbstcl, manager, has built a substantial two-story brick at a cost of about $9000; F. M. Pauly baa just completed a two-story brick worth SoOOO; Messrs. Duseabery Co., a one-story brick store, the iron in which cost over $1000, the structure costing about $0000, and Win. Gould two brick stores worth $4000. In other parts of the town many improvements have been made, amang which might be mentioned the U. B. Church on Washington street. These indicate laudable business enterprise.The harvest in this vicinity is about finished. The acreage sown was immense, and the yield proves that old Umatilla is stili the banner county in the production of wheat. Within a radius of ten miles of Weston I he average yield has ceen about thirty bushels to the acre. The yield would have been much greater had it not been for the severe rain und wind storms that visited us just before harvest, lodging the gram so badly in placet that not more than half of it was caught by the header. Self-binders are coming into vogue. But even with this great loss the amount of grain shipped will be immense. Umatilla county will dispose of about two aud a quarter million bushels of wheat.COMPROYAL(BEAST'S ( BEDFORDHanfordBEDHEAD CUARO (A AMAZON (. CLEVF.Li PIONEERCZAR.....DR. PR1C SNOW FU LEWIS*...
