The Hull fire started on the opposite

out near where the Ottawa A Parry
Bound railway enters the who torn part

down the foreign bid. The entire set

Harrlman Lines are Turning Thoughts
of Thousands to Oregon.
G. M. McKinney, who has charge of
the immigration department of the
Harriman lines, met with the real es
tate dealer of Salem to discuss matters
relating to his work. lie explained the
plan of his department and talked
the real estate men concerning
methods of advertising that they must
rely upon to draw immigration to tbU
stataWavThat Oregon ia now the most
widely talked of state in the Union
tbe declaration he made, after telling
how the resource! of this state have
been advertised through the immigra
tion buretu. As an indication of "ha
has been done for tt.e Willamette val
ley, he said t"at since his department
has been working between 4,000 and
6,000 one-way railway tickets have
been u.ed by Eastern peop.e, who came
to the valley and did not go away
again.
He said that tbe immigration bureau
of tbe Harriman lines is tbe most per
lect enterprise of the kind ever org n
iied in the United States, and that i
reaches in the most effective mann.:
those persona who are the most deeira
b!e immigrants. Witl.in seven months
after be began work bis department
had p ared the literature advertising
this state into tbe h.nd of 2,000,000
people. The bureau has placed in the
field six lecturers, with stereopticon
views showing scenes illuitrating tbe
resources and tnduttries of Oregon, and
there lecturers are addressing Eastern
audiences four evenings a wee. Six
immigration agsnts in the different
(actions of the midd'e Wed, are giving
their whole time to disseminating in
formation regarding tbia rtate, tuper
vising the distribution of literature to
those who are most likelv to come to
this state, and aiding scores of Eastern
real estate men who are encouraging
Western immigration.
By means of this vigcrom policy tbe
people of tbe Eastern states have been
interested in Oregon, witb the result
that there is more talk of this state as a
desirable place for bome-scekers than
theie is of any other state.
Little Change la Herd Law.
Aside from the amendment of the
law regarding the running ot stock in
aiuitnoman county, no change was
made by the last legislature in tbe
herd law. Section 6 1 of the new roAd
law prohibits tbe herding of stock upon
the highways, thereby obstructing tbem
witb earth, stones, or other debris, but
his section does not prohibit herding
stock on the highways so long as there
is no obstruction remaining more than
24 hours.
Plenty of Gold but Little Stiver.
Clackamas county otbeera report an
unusual scarcity of silver. Treasurer
Cahill sat s gold pieces, in denomina
tions ot $20, were never befoie as plen
tiful as tbev are at this time, and he
finds it troublesome to keep on band
sufficient amount of silver with which
to make change. No reason is assigned
for this condition, save tbat it indicates
in a suostantial way a greater degree

WILL FIQHT THE RESERVE.
Southern Oregon Citizens Readily Sign
Protesting Petitions.
A zealous protest is being made by
the citizens of Josephine and Curry '
counties against the establishment of
the great forest reserve, embracing
nearly half of Curry and all of Western
and Southern Josephine, as well as part
of Douglas. -Josephine would be
blocked in, so to speak, and Curry
would be placed in a position whereby
its advancement would be a matter of
difficulty.
Just at this time, when prosperity
seems to be beading this way, capital
ia becoming interested, new people
ixming in, and new industries being
established, it is a bard blow both to
Josephine and Curry, o the citizens
claim who are opposing the measure,
to establish a forest reserve of so vast
dimension!. Tbe argumi nt made tbat
streams are drying up by reason of the
removal of trees, seems not well foui.d
ed. But few, if any trees, have been
removed in that section, not enotiirb by
any means to affect tbe flow of water in
the creeks and streams. Even tbe
miners, who need tbe water tbe most.
oppose tbe establishment of the reserve.
Petitions, begging that the matter of
estab ishing the reserve b reconsid
ered, or that the tract be not with
drawn, are being circulated in Joseph
ine and Curry counties, and are beinn
liberally signed.
