Isaac Fogel has invented an ingenious contrivance rj a subistuteforthe electric fan, which, in order that tbe overheated humanity may have Jthe benefit of it, be will not patent. The contrivance is so simple in construction that any boy can make one. Two thin boards are suspend ed from the ceiling, and to the foot of each is attached an oblong-ehaped,cloth-covered frame, something like tbe sides of a transparency. The boards are con dected by ropes, and by a gentle motion they can be kept moving and a good car rent of air obtained. Oregonian.

Reese, of Brownsville, has been getting some notoriety by advising tbe government bow to name its war vessels. He wanted the Cristobal Colon named Honolulu, and some one else no doubt would like to have it named some thing else. Whereas tbe government has a law on the subject and follows It.

A small boy at Harrisburg, yesterday afternoon.found the body of a man in the river, in about three feet of water causht in a root. Awhile before, in the direction of the river, a couple of shots had been heard. Investigation revealed the fact that it was the body of George Butler, who had run a saloon at that place for about twenty years. 1 he body xas left undisturbed and the coroner, Mr. Norman, at this citv. sent for. He went up on the noon train prepared to rail a inrv and examine into the case, A telephone Imrssase from llarrisbug cave the information that the circum stances all indicated suicide. Butler's license run oat last week, and the city council had decided nut to reissue it. He bad become despondent, and bad made remaka that leave little dou bt in the natter. He had probably waded into the river and shot himselt, thus making sure of death. Several hours before the suicide he bad told mrot friends tuat be was gang to bay a suit of clothes and go to Portland, today. Mr. Butler wsa 70 years of age ani wa well known through thecounty. A gd many years ao ha was a resident oi Al bany running a harness and saddlery shop here. He leaves a w:e aud one son. I anient. Tasokst, Or.. Aug 8th, 1898. Afier being absent from Tangent for nii.e months we have got back to our old stamping ground once more contented to remain lor awhile. After being in Cal ifornia during that pei iod of time, and noting the advantages and dbadvantsse of that superior climate, we were glad to get bick to Otegon. A person never knows anything about a country unless one goes and sees tor himself, and then one can be satisfied to their own knowl edge; but we were aever so deceived in a country as we were about Southern California. From what we alwava have heard of that country we thought it must be a paradise to live in, bat we found such was not the rase. Of ccoree they have beaatifnl winter weather, but not enough rain falls tl insure any kind of a crop. Tbe orange ciop there is light and also lemons and other kind) oi tropical traits, is scarce, but we found oat that there will be an immense crop of wal nuts. The tiers are heavily loaded down with them aud some trees are breaking down with nu s. Thev had j abont one-fifth of a crop of hay this year. Hay was worth all the way from 20 to $30 per ton. As we traveled along we could ee some few farmers catting wheat around in small spots. In the San Joa quin valley they mostly cnt their grain wiui tbe header and stack it ; but there was not any grain to amount to anything in thai section. Around Montague were some nice fields of grain, but the grain was very thin. From Los Angeles to j Lathrop and from there on were mostlv vineyarus, to Sacratneuto and Inm Sac ramento on we could not see mach, it b ing in the night; but when wegetonthe Oregon side of tbe mountains and earn down into the valley beyond Ashland then we saw plenty of golden whea. fields. In ali Oregon canfi be beat for j wn.a.itut MUCIJ . I v e left Los A ngeles.Cil., w ednesday. July JU, and arrived in Tangent oo bat nrday morning at or near 6 o'clock. July 23rd. Tbe citiiena were glad to welcome os back to Tangent and to know we bad arrived safely and tbe ladies of Tangent were very kind to onr mother on her re turn trip and we feel very thankful to them for what they did for ber last fall when we left, also for being so good and kind to her after she got Lome. Mr. Thomas Dagger and wife, of Al bany, made ns a short visit last week. We found things in and around Tan gent about as usual ; also found Hon. J . . Beard in his gleeful mood and bis wife who has been spending some few months with ber dangnter and her mother in Yreka, Cat. She happened to be on the same train we were on but did not dis cover the fac. until we got off the train at Tangent. We also found every one very busy taking care of the crops. Tbe grain does not aeem to vield as much per acre this year as it did last year. Some of tbe summer fallow wheat is yielding only 15 and 18 bushels to tbe acie. Mr. Unas. Bryan has bad the largest yield aroand here and bis wheat yielded 22 bushels per acre. 31 r. A. i. mitb, of Oakville. was ia oar village some few days ago. He says Oakville ia very lively and that people are very busv. We foand tbat Mr. Je-se Moses still runs the city store bereand his peddliug wagons. Some one has informed ns tbat Little Rose Bud is thinking of changing bis lo cation from Oakville to Sbelbarn for some unknown cause. We guess be is going to Egypt. AMERICA. Back raox fOx aha. J. R Douglas, tbe expert gardener and raiser of big vegetables, on tbe Santiam bas returned home from a trip to Nebraska, Kaosai and Iowa. He reports good crops in eastern Kansas and Kebraeki and in Iowa, bu'. poor in western Nebraska and Kansas. He ai at tbe Omaha exposi tion, which he reports a great thing with a big attendance from all over tbe United States. Tbe Oregon exhibit is excellent in canned goods, the best there in cereals and there is a good display of minerals, bat it lacks just what it should have now. fresh fruit and vegetables. Tbe man in chatge implored him to see that something waa sent at once, and this should be done ii we would have a great advantage from the exhibit, tbe chance of a lile time. DisPLATiu Ncbve. Abont 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, "Mia Kitty" resid ing at Frsnkie Doff v's took a team from tbe stables of Tarner & Davis, for a r.de, intending to stop for a young man at Daffy's, bat she didn't stop. The team lett tbe stables and immediately took it into their beads that they would like a spin. Probably a team never went through becond street as fast as tbat one. Tbe intrepid driver instead of getting ex cited held tbe horses in tbe track, turn ing tbe corner at Main street and then at tbe Salem road, never stopping until they bad ran two or three miles in the country after being run down. Those wbo saw it expected to bear oi a general smash up, but not a thing waa broken. And tomorrow Its razor strips, bonis and trushes. We have iust received a complete- line of Tarrey's straps and brashes, which wequarantee to be the best in the market. 25c to $1.50 each. Bcbkuart & L, Prnggiats.
