The Interstate fair atTaconia, Wash ington opened with great pomp and nlendor August 2sth at noon United States Senator Watson and C Bjuire, of that state, touched the but ton which set the machinery in motion. The city of Taconia waf beautifully decorated with blue, white and yellow, the Interstate fair colom Over W,000 people thronged the street during the parade and the greatest euthiuiasin prevailed. The fair closes November 1st. L 11 1 'J Mrs. BamGotr Is in Tygh Valley visiting her father who is very sick. Our hearts should feci sad at the terrible calamity which has befallen the people of Minnesota and neighbor ing states In the fearful kalacaust of fire which raged there, bunting nearly 700 persons. When we contrast our situation with that lu some other part of the world, we should fuel thaukful and the destitute people of tliee loculi' ties should receive our assistance as well as sympathy. The American market Is the best in the world. The total consumption of goods in the United States amounts ' In value to f 11,005,000,000 a year, while the total amount purchased by all other countries of the world is only $ 7,509,01)0 000, so that our own market Is worth to us over f 4,000,000.000 more than all the markets of the world to which we can possibly have access. No wonder England and Germany rejoice to see this magnificent market opened to tnem and feel grateful to the Democratic party. CORRESPONDENCE. SUVER. We were all glad to see the rain. Mrs. A. Sparks returned home Saturday after an absence of about two month. Jip Thurston and his sister Miss Mabel visited friends near Bueua Vista Sunday. Mrs. Shreve and son Ilerschel, of Dallas, are visiting at her parents J. E. Hubbard this week. Bert Harper gave a dance Satur day night in the Elgin hall and everybody reports a good time. Grant Elgin was doing business In Marion county this week. Here ports a good yield of hops iu that vicinity. Mr. Gartner of the firm of Eusncl & Co., of Portland, was through this neighborhood Tuesday doing business. COCHRANE ITEMS. This week we have paper and pencil and the same amount of brian, but where are our ideas for items. August 25th the thermometer Btood at 58 degrees in the morning and 92 degrees in the afternoon; quite a change. . What is the use of writing items with the thermometer at 98 in the shade. They would be so hot no one could read them. After a run of fifteen days Ed. Harmon has threshed out the grain in this vicinity. His average was about 2000 bushels per day. This dry, hot, . dusty, smoky Weather will create considerable sickness and make a harvest for the doctors. With a little care we may prevent a doctor bill and per haps a funeral. Small need of tolling a farmer what he should have these hard times. But as he has harvested his crop and finds it short he has Inula chance to Hoo.whvro tiling and miuiure would bo i benefit. These things our laud must have. We tnuHt feed our hind if wo wuut our laud to feed iw. Tiling cost some money, but nnuiui wo Lave 2ot, us you nee ou many places. So we must, put more work and care ou our farms. IMUKi:U ITEMS. Fuiutw dwelling-houi has a new roof, Ted Btildia and family are visit ing relatives hero, Cass Kay a turned the hop-pickers loose lu his hop yard Tuesday morn- i's. . : , ; .. ' . Llllle Deltoid, has returned from Marlon county, where she has been visiting her sister. Those reported on iho Kick list lust week are all about well except Henry Kerr, who is feeling poorly yet. Lee Steeprow has returned from a weeks visit to his home in Alsea, where ho has been doctoring a fellou on his thumb. Wheat 33 cents, oats 23 cents and hops 7 cents and other things In proportion. - These are tho good democrat ie times wo have been hearing of for so long. H is easy enough now for a blind mau to see why England and Iho sugar trust could afford to furnish a hall million dollars to elect a democratic president and a congress of the same kind. TO rOKTUMI AM) RKTI KX. What Was Secu In a 1'ew Knurs (Jelug . anil Itetttndug. last Mouday was warm and sultry when we took the afternoon traiu for Portland intending to return tho next morning.

We then went up to see the sw lin ing baths, being In the building on Tenth street formerly called tlis Tabernacle. We found about five hundred there in attendance, at least one hundred in the water, anil a very nice crowd..., Bev. Boland I). Grant and wife were sitting in the manager's odlceandwe were introduced to Mr, Frost. ItoHcwcll Hliolley was n spectator and came up and Hhook hands As we were about to leave Jtev, Grant asked if we had ever seen the cnteiior of the White Temple, and not having seen It he took us tin there. It wan about 10:00 o'cloek, but as we went from room to room touching an elect rh. button made it liL'bt as day, It is a beautiful building with a tenting capacity of 2700. As tho pastor stands in hi pulpit he can touch nn elcctrii billion with lib fool and half Iho lights in the large audience room are lighted or turned out. We shall not attempt to (liscrllx; the church, which contflW, 000 nor tho $10,000 organ. It is best seen with one's eyes. Returning to the hotel T. J.

He has received a copy of the new tariii Jaw, hut did not express himself as to how lie liked it. Early next morning we went down to purchase some small articles, at Llp nian Wolf & Cos', and lit 7:120 o'clock did not llud the store, open, the time for opening being 75. vA young man in the store however volunteered tho in formation that business had picked up very considerably in the previous few weeks and a good brisk full trade was anticipated, Portland is very quite. There are many vacant stoics and hundreds ol vacant residence. Conductor Webster, on the train, had a smile on his face, us ho said "Travel, which has been so dull, Is picking up." The peanut boy said business was hotter. DALLAS CLIPPINGS. Tho Valley Transcript. The Salvation Army arrived In Dallas yesterday, but for some reason went on to Independence.
