New Feature Planned for tht Oregon
Stat Fair.
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.

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.

Big Ore Body Uncovered.
Reeent developments at the "Lucky
Cuss," the property under develop
ment by W. T. Cope and others on
Maple Gulch, a tributary of the Ap
plegate, have uncovered an ore body
six feet in width, while the distance
between walls is 13 feet. The ledge
matter outside of the main ore body
is carrying Btreaks and bunches of
quartz, indicating that the whole
width may 'Come into quartz at a lit
tle greater depth. During the whole
progress of the tunnel, which is now
nearly 300 feet In length, there has
been a steady increase, both in the
dimensions of the vein and In the
quality of tbe ore. The values are
very steady and range from $8 to $20
per ton. The mine is easily acces
sible and the ore can be handled eas
ily and cheaply.
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.

America's cop, the Globe this afternoon
voices Xhe despair which marks all the
comment on the cup racing, saying:

most enthusiastic, and Sir Thomas is
well advised to relinquish the struggle

nized and before his fail area have be

gain the cop."
