Auction sales of livestock will be conducted at the Oregon atate fair on September 18 and 1. The fair baa al ways afforded an opportunity ior farmers and breeders to buy and sell stock, and every year many sales are made. The transactions have always been made by private dickering around the cattle department. This year, the fair management baa ar ranged for the employment of an auc tioneer and public Hales will he held. A lare number or wen-Known Lreedera will send stock to the sale and those who wish to buy can find almost anything they want. While the greatest interest will probably be centered in the tales of cattle, there will also be homes, sheep, goats and hota sold to the hlKhest bidder. Tho aalea will begin on Friday, ana continue on that day and Saturday. Those who wish to bid will therefore have nlentv of time earlier In the week to examine all' the stock offered nrl determine what they wish to ma. This feature of the fair established particularly for the farmers, Is likely to prove very popular. ; rainiek is ;awakened. Board of Trad Formed to Further later- eft. of th Town.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON AUCTION SALES OF STOCK. OOOD CROP IN POOR STRAW. Plump Berries Fill the Heads of Marlon Wheat SUlk. At the end of a week' work with the threshing machines the reports received are to the effect that the wheat crop In Marlon county Is turn ing out much better than was ex pected. Manager J. U. Graham, of Balfour, Outhrie Co.'s office In Salem, says. that yields are running from 25 to 50 bushels per acre, and even i a little better than the last named amount la reported in some in stances. Mr. Graham has heard of no crop that has yielded less than 25 bushels per acre this year. The qual ity is good. Farmers were evidently deceived by the looks of the straw this year. The stand of straw was poor, and the farmers looked for only fair yields at best, but It seems that the heads of wheat were tilled out from end to end with plump grain and the yield was thus greater than appearances Indl cated. 3 WILL WAIT A YEAR.

Adrlanepl Experiencing Reign of Terror -Part of City In Aahes. Bona, Sept. 1. The Dnevnik pub lishes a report that one section of tb town of Adrianop'.e it in ashes, and three other cectiont are burning. The inhabitants are panic stricken and tb authorities have lost all control. The Turks are committing wholesale mas sacres. An onsnccesdful attempt was made, the Dnevnik advices add, to blow up the west bound Orient ex revs be tween Ushunkistri and Tchernketkla. Only the locomotive, however, waa de railed. A telegram from Leren say the rail road station at Ekshi was blown np, number of officials killed, and the rails torn up for a distance of 150 meters. The insurgents have blown op the lighthouse at Vasiiiko, and now occupy alt the principal points along th Black sea coast. The barracks at Demitka, near Adrianople, have been blown op and the garrison killed. Four thous and Albanians are pillaging the vil lages in the districtr of Okrida and Krosbevo. The latter district has been deserted by the population, which has joined the insurgents in tb moan tains. Th Turkish forces in the fron tier districts have been largely in creased. Reports from Constantinople say that 700 medical and veterinary student and army cadets bave been given their diplomas and commission without hav ing passed the osoal examinations, and have been drafted into the Third army corps. An imperial trade baa been issued ordering the mobilization of 60,000 troop at Krnshevo, Ronmania, aboat 50 miles from Uskab.

It has stimulated the citizens to action. Roads are to be built, streets Im proved, factories to be put In opera tion, in short where there is only a town of a few hundred Inhabitant Rainier expects to be a city of sever al thousand Inhabitants before the close of the Lewis and Clark fair. The prunegrowera may perfect their organization so as to operate a mutual company of their own by the time the next drying season begins. The directors considered It impracti cable to get their work started this season. DRAFT NEW CANAL TREATY. Sep Coming Events. M. A. A. C. carnival, Portland tember 14-26.

Tried to Blow L'p Flume The El Dorado ditch people at Mal heur City are having trouble on ac count of scarcity of water, and much dissension is rife among holders of stock who cannot obtain sufficient water for irrigation. Recently seven sticks of dynamite were placed under the flume for the purpose of blowing it up. Only one stick exploded, yet considerable damage was done. Had the miscreants understood how to use the deadly explosive, irreparable dam age would have resulted. Colombian Senators Make Many Changca in Panama Measure. Colon, Colombia, Sept. 1. In th . issue of the Correro Nacional of Bogota. ol Augeut 8, it is stated that the ma jority ol the senate committee cn the Panama canal treaty recommended the following, among other amendmemt: "That tbe Frenih company most first obtain Colombia's permission to transfer its rights, privileges and con cessions to the United States; that only the zone necessary for the construction ol the canal cculd be given to the United States" (this would exclude tbe cities of Panama and Colon); "that all the waters required for the canal be placed at the disposal of the United States, but not made their ex clusive property; that no mixed trib unals be allowed; that the United States laws be inoperative at Panama. and that a fixed time be given to com plete tbe canal, failing which the con cession would revert to Colombia." It is learned here that prominent politicians are endeavoring to induce congress to issue a law ol authorixationa to the president, which would specify that Colombia agrees on principle to negotiate with the United State, and that a new canal treaty be made by plural committee, in which all political parties wou.d be represented. Using New Road Law. Columbia county is adopting a new system for road work under the new law.
