Forestry OKIclala Find Reserves
Now Wanted.
Ar
Washington, Sept. 30. "Contrary
to what appear to be a popular belief,
th'Te is a steadily growing sentiment
Htnong the people ol Oregon In favor of
(orent reserves," sold H. I). Langllle,
the Oregon man who is now forent in
ipertor in the bureau of (omtry, and
who has lust returned from a summer
.pent In eiamining land that have
lN-en withdrawn in that state.
"I npent a large part of th. summer
conferring with people living in the vi
cinity of various withdrawals," he
continued, "and I find they generally
indorse the reaerve policy, and want
more reserves established in Oregon. I
talked to farmers, to lumbermen, to
stoi kmen, and, in fa t, to all classes,
and tlieovajarbelminhg sentiment fav
orable to the reserve policy was ery
gratifying."
Mr. l.angilfekpent several week, in
the Kogiie river country and the re
mainder of the season In the vicinity ol
the other withdrawals in Oregon, save
that in the Blue mountains, which he
visited a year ago. In Sooth western
Oregon he found the people divided,
half favoring a reserve, bait opposing.
In Eastern Oregon, th. eentiment wa
strongly in favor oi new reeerves at all
localities where withdrawals bave
been made.
He believes the examinations made
this year by the various representatives
of the bureau of forestry who have been
in Oregon, will furnish sufficient data
lo guide the secretary of the interior in
marking the bo.ndaries ot the prop aed
new reeerves.
WAR CLOUDS LIFT.
Bulgaria Takea Near Hop. In Macedonia
Porte Lessens Apprchcnslona.
Bofla, Bulgaria, Sept. 30. The situ
ation here is much brighter today, and
the war clouds appear to have lifted.
The porte's assurance that the 32 oat
Lai ions recently ordered to proceed from
Mouastir to Adrianople will not be
moved has lessened the apprehensions
of the Italgarian government. Further
rati.faction is derived from the fact
that M. Natohovitch is going v Con
stantinople in the capacity of Bulgarian
diplomatic agent. He conducted the
negotians with the porte last June, and
alter their failure returned to (soda.
The committee appointed for the pnr
pose at the lime ol ye.terday's demon
stration of 15,000 Macedonians in this
city waited on Premier Petrol! today
and asked him if the government in
tended to do anything to help the Mac
edonians. M. Petroff replied tbe min
istry was acting iu what it conceived to
be the best interests of Bulgaria, and
would continue tbe same policy. The
spokesman ol the committee told the
premier his reply would not be Batisfcat
ory to tbe people, and the committee
thereupon withdrew.
Tbe Dnevnik, commenting on the
situation, says:
"Although the Bulgarians remain
quiet, it is not a true indication of the
national feelings, but it i. owing to the
approaching elections."
The pler adda it will "jSt be long

MAD RUSH TO DEATH.
South Carolina Train Strike! Curve
at
Very High Speed.
'Charlotte, 8. C, Bept. 30. While
running ' h8D rate of speed, a
south-bound fait mail train on the
Southern Railway jumped from a tres
tle 75 feet high, north of Nanville, W.
Va., this afternoon and was-almoet de
molished. Of the crew ot 16 men, in
cluding mail carriers, nine were killed
and (even injured.
The trestle where the accident oc
curred is 500 feet long and is on a
sharp curve. Engineer Brodie, who
was a new man on tnat division, came
to the curve at high speed.
The locomotive had only gone about
SO feet when it sprang from the track,
carrying with it four mail cars and an
express car. The trestle, a wroden
structure, also gave way lor a space ot
HO feet. At the foot of the trestle i. a
shallow stream with a rocky bottom.
Striking this, the locomotive and car.
were reduced to a mass of twisted iron
and steel and piece, of splintered wood.
All the dead men were mutilated.
No one on any of the cai. bad 'made an
effort to jump, and the bodies ot all
those killed were found in the wiecc-
age ol the different car. to which they
had been engaged. A crowd aoon gain

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
MODERN PRUNE fJRADINO.
Oraat Progreaa' Haa Been Mad. la the
Industry.
The great progress that nai been
made In tbe prune Industry In this
state in the last few years Is Indicated
by the machinery which ha. been put
In operation at the Willamette Valley
Prune Association', warehouse' la
Salem. In one corner of tbe ware
house stands an old-fashioned hand
prune grader, of the back-breaking
type. It waa capable of handling ten
tons of fruit a day if a gang of men
could keep It going steadily. In tbe
center of the warekouse i. a massive
power grader, 42 feet long and ten
feet high, the most up-to-date machine
(or that kind of work. Its capacity Is
100 tons a day. In former year, the
.runes were loaded on truck., taken
up to tbe second floor on an elevator
and emptied Into the grader by men
wno lifted the aack. of prunes to the
hopper. Now the grader stand, on
the third floor. A continuous chain
carrying cup. run. from tbe base
ment to the top of the grader. On
any floor prunes may be dumped Into
a hopper and they are carried up to
the grader without further effort.
From the grader the prunes run
through a steam process from which
they emerge Into another hopper and
from this they drop into boxes all
ready for packing. From start to
finish manual labor Is reduced to a
minimum and nearly all the work Is
done by machinery. During- the pas
sage of the prunes through the grader
and processor they are cleaned of all
dirt, are made uniform In moisture
and are placed In the boxes bright and
clean.
wheat trade at standstill.
No Sal. Oa Hi. Peadletea Market and
No SblpaMBt. to Coast.
The wheat market of Pendleton and
vicinity Is at a complete standstill.
No sales have been made for nearly
a week and no shipments of moment
are being made to the coast.
This state of affairs was caused by
the sudden decline In prices. Club Is
quoted at 67 cents per bushel, while
blueatem is selling at 70 cents. This
Is a drop of 6 cents per bushel on both
classes of wheat.
The mills bad boosted the price.
They were lust out of wheat, and If
they had not paid high prices they
would have been forced to shut down.
Some of the mills south of her. had
to suspend operations because they
did not care to pay Buch a fancy price.
The mills are now well supplied and
are buying but little, only in cases
where there is storage room.
The export buyer seems out of the
market The farmers will not sell at
the present quotations, aad the buyers
ill not offer higher money. There
are about 900,000 bushels of unsold
wheat in the county.
Never waa there such keen activity
among farmer, in storing wheat. The
buyers sa ythat about 3000 sacks are
Jm'Wiifi" in Fendieton daily, which Is
1000 sacks above the average dally
delivery. This rush of wheat to the
warehouses is due to farmers fearing
a wet season, and also to get this
work off their hands so fall seeding
can be started. By the middle of next
week al) the grain of the country will
have been placed under shelter. The
weather is ideal for the finishing of
harvest. Most of the grain which was
standing when the recent rain, came
will not be threshed, but will be cut
for feed.
Installing Mining Machinery.
The Crystal Consolidated Mining
company Is at the present time ener
getically placing machinery that has
been contracted for some time. They
are now installing a 50-horse power
boiler and engine and sawmill. They
have also placed an order with the
Union Iron Works, of San Francisco,
for a stamp mill. This will .oon be
completed and will be on the ground
early next month. The company Is
also building a wagon road from the
new Champion Creek road to the
Mountain Lion claim, a distance of
7500 feet, the cost of this road will be
about $4000. This company ha. a
large amount of ore in sight and will
run the mill continuously during the
winter months.
Stat. Veterinary Board.
The members of the Oregon state
veterinary board, created at the last
session of the Oregon legislature, will
be named by Governor Chameblaln in
a few days. The board will consist of
five competent practitioner, of veter
inary medicine and surgery. Two of
the men to be appointed will serve
for a term of two years and three for
a term of four years and after the
first two years the term of office of
all members will be four years. The
members serve without compensation,
but receive their traveling and other
expenses.
Selling Off Rang. Cattle.
Some cattlemen of southeastern
Oregon say the range this season is
the shortest In many years. J. C.
Franks, superintendent for J. D. Carr,
one of the cattle kinga of the coast,
says they are reducing the herds on
the Carr ranges as fast as they can
find sale for the cattle. They have
already disposed of many hundred.,
and there are many more to be sold,
notwithstanding that the management
has purchased range laads during the
present year costing about $5t),0d0.
Slaughter of Phaaaaot.
There la urgent need for vigorous
enforcement of the game law. of th.
state, so far as they are designed for
the preservation of the Chinese pheas

A BIQ SHEEP CENTER.
Thousands are Leaded ai Pendleton
for
AU Parts of th. Wast.
Pendleton I. one of tbe greatest
uheep shipping centers of the Pacific
slope, railroad men say. About 100,
000 sheep have been shipped from and
through that point this season. A
great many more will be shipped be
fore the winter season comes on, as
the fall movement has Just become es
tablished. The O. R. t N. 'reports that 300 cars
had been shipped from and through
that point, while it was ascertained
that the W. C. R. had handled 200
cars. Tbe cars, as a rule, are loaded
with about 240 sheep each.
These shipments are auch heavier
now than they were last year at this
time. Tbe shipments of the entire
country will greatly exceed the ship
ments of last season, for the reason
that there are more sheep In the
country, and feed Is exceptionally
scarce and sheep raisers ara forced
to sell. The season is now fairly
opened and h.avy shipments will con
tinue for the next month or so.
Most of the sheep bave been ship
ped to Portland on the coast and Seat
tle and other Bound points. Some
have been shipped as far east as SL
Paul. Heavy shipments have been
made to California points. No rea
son Is assigned for this extraordinary
activity, beyond the fact that a scarc
ity of mutton prevails In th. Utah
section. Many sheep of Montana,
this year, have been killed by severe
storms, and there Is not tbe usual sup
ply there.
THROWS THE LAND OPEN.
Effect of Ruling Relatlag to Timber aad
Stone Entries.
Tbe ruling by the department to
construe strictly the testimony taken
in timber and stone entries In regard
to speculation will have the effect of
throwing open again a greater part
of the timber land which baa been en
tered upon under the act of June 3.
1878, and for which patents have net
been Issued. There would be no pos
sible way to enter the land then ex
cept by those who have forest reserve
lieu land script to place, and this
would have the effect of throwing the
best lands of the public d.main into
the hands of corporations which have
bought up all available scrip to us.
for good timber lands. This is the
exact result congress most desired to
svoid. Only a small percentage of
the entries under this act kave been
made by adjacent homesteaders, who
enter such lands to reserve to them
selves and successors" woodland for
the future.
Pokegma a Village of Teats.
Southeastern Oregon can boast of
a city built entirely of tents. Pokeg
ma Is the name of this unique village,
which Is located among the towering
pine, near the summit ot a mountain
range. It 1. the terminus of tbe Klam
ath River railroad, a branch of the
sQIUiefa Pacific. The branch t. con
structed for a distance of 25 mile,
and was laid for th. purpose of tap
ping the timber belt -of this section.
People have rushed in to secure laad
and many timber locations have al
ready been made. In fact all the best
of th. land has been taken.
State Normal School Opea.
The work at the State Normal at
Monmouth has begun. Many students
are In attendance and the work of get
ting located Is being rapidly pushed.
An unusually large number of new
faces are appearing and th. addition
al facilities for the accommodation of
student, provided In anticipation of
an Increase will be fully required. As
the real work of the state normal Is
better understood, the new students
represent many who have had much
experience In teaching and who come
for special training.
