There have been other depredations of a sirnl wr cnaiw . .',tiaA in that, viomitv of late ft miffht be well for farmers In that vicinity to organize a vigilance com mittee and if possible, apprehend and bring the culprit to justice. The Portland Board of Trade ha Anally awakened to the necessity of ob taining cheno fuel for that citv. In viuw of the importance of having cheaper fuel a atrenuou effort 1 to be made to locate, if possible, a vein of coal ot cer tain site and duality within fifty mile of that city, and to such an end, as an inducement, a reward of $aW la offered for aiich a discovery. The requirement are for the discovery of a vein of coal, of not less than tour feet, and the coal to be of average quality, within 60 mile of Portland. This will stimulate the in terest of tlmbermen. and cruisers, and will no doubt load to some discovery of conl within easy railroad access of Port land. Tina reward is limited tome State of Oregon. There are numerou reported discoverle of coal, but it seems that no particular effort has been made to ascertain the quality or extent of the product. It is well, however, that Port land has awakened to the necessity of cheap fuel. Manufacturing cannot be profitably pursued there unloBS cheap fuel can be obtained. We believe there Is an abundance of good coal in this County, and invite Portland capitalists to tnorougniy investigate tne coui ue posit here. An Aatoria paper last week Indulged in a few sentences of plain talk in re gard to people going away from home to make tnoir purcnases. n remans in us: "Astoria will never be a good business place aa long a the majority of the people go to Portland to do their trad ing. The oheap rah: by river and rail ha taken thousand of dollar ont of the city. Astoria waa far better off and did more business before a railroad wa built than it has done since. Hun dreds of people have visited the (tract carnival in Portland the past week and pent thousand of dollars. The people of Altoria who visited Portland thla week have spent more money in Port land -than the entire Portland contin gent' spent at Aatoria or the seaside during the summer season. Portland people going to the seaside bny most of their supplies In Portland to as to keep the monev at borne. Aatoria people ffolnff to the seaside send to Portland lor their supplies, even their bathing suit come from l'ortiana. There 1 a man in this County who work pretty cunning game on hi boy to keep them on the farm. He make them think that he couldn't run the farm without them. One of them he let feed one part, of the stock and another something else. If anyone asks him anything about the farm be refers them to one of the bovs. remark' Ing that he don't keep much track of things, aa the boy seem to have a knack of doing things better than he ever did. Those boy are just the aver age kind, but they do their work cheer fully because they feel that some respon sibility rests on them. The boy who has nothing to ay abont the work on farm has very little lutorest in it. Boy are a great deal like human beinga.no matter what else is saia aooui tnera. It cays pretty well to treat them white," aa the boy say. The Willamette Valley Prone Grow er' Association, through lta director, has negotiated and closed up deals with Eastern firms which practically dispose of all the fruit grown by the members of the Association, and will amount to .hniit twenty ear load. The Association has accomplished a great deal in secur ing such prices aa it has been able to command this year. The price paid for the fruit sold makes mis years output the moat remunerative fruit orop that has been raised by the member of the organisation, and they are loud in praise of the work the Association haa accom plished, in so successfully disposing of tnetr iruil. xiie iruit nw win uniig the grower little over hi cent per pound. We are in receint of volume 1. number 1, ot The Kentuckian, published at More head, Kentucky, W.J. Rice, editor. The paper Is neat in typographical appear ance and strongly Republican in politics, its motto being ; "Equality to all, spec ial privileges to none," while it mission In worded: "Ev the grace of a iust God. combined with honesty, loyalty and he roism, to redeem Kentucky from fraud, anarchy and shame." Kioe bas tne sou itr to run a lively paper, and will no doubt succeed In ills newspaper venture if he adheres cloaely to its motto and all the precept ol it mission. Johanna QrifHoen ha purchased the site and remains of the old crematory at Rocky Point, on Willamette Biougn Mr. (IrWHnnn la a. resident of that vioin- Itv nnmired in the wood business, ana values the wharf orivilege connected with the property more than the three rm nf land which comnrise the site, and the old iron and brick contained in the mine of the building. He will es tablish landing there and probably a atore, and eventually a little town will grow up there and become center of aupply for the country round. Over in Mason County. Wash., there it a great scarcity of logger. Not only I this condition of scarcity of labor pre valent in logging operations, but in all danea of industry in the Northwest. Not in a good many years haa the de mand for men at such remunerative wages been so great. With the hop- yards wanting pickers by thousands, loggers begging tor men and the fisher men almost aiviuuig vuo wuuiv piuuu, u their catch with their men in order to retain them, the workingman is surely having hi day. Mr. and Mrs. John Scott have pur chased the Kalama Hotel and are now doing business in that city. The Orien tal Hotel in this city is still under their management.

Mr. Zellar was very thankful that there waa no farther loss. Thomas Tucker suffered quite a ser ious loss in the burning oi his house and contents last Saturday morning. No one waa home except himself and the two smaller children. He got up at the usual time, built a fire in the sitting room, then went off to the barn to do nuj cnoriug, leaving frue cimuicn Baievrp np stairs. Pretty soon ne neara tne children calling, bat thinking they had wakened up and were only playing, aa tbey often did, he paid no attention to them until their calls becoming frantic, he ran to the bouse to see what was the matter, when to his horror the whole npper part of the building waa on fire, having caugnc in some way, enuer imm the flue or Trom the pipe which passed through the floor between the two stoves.
