MICHEL, Proprietor, Prineville, Oregon Campers Home Again Plenty of Berries Mrs. C. M. Elkins and family, Silas Hodges, and son Otto, Ran dolph Ketchum and wife and Grandpa Elkins, returned Satur day evening from a month's out ing in the Cascade mountains. Over a week was spent on the headwaters of the South Santiara picking blackberries. While here the party was joined by V. F. King, his daughter Edyth, and son Jimmy and the Ilinton folks. Berries were scattered but all man aged to get some. Fish Lake was visited. This re sort has been much improved by the road company. There is a new hotel and barnes, and clean camping grounds. Moving homeward the parly camped at Heisings on the Ma toles. From here Si Hodges and Millard Elkins went on a fishing trip to Blue Lake, six miles dis tant. They brought back over 50 beauties averaging over ten inches in length. When at Heising's John Dell met with an accident while raking hay. , Hig, teatia took-frigt aodf ran away, smashing the rake and severely injuring Dell. From the Matoles the party moved toward Mt. Jefferson for huckleberries. Camping on Eagle creek, six miles this side of the patch, the rest of the way was made on horseback. A week was spent here and fifty gallons of berries were picked.

Will Prosecute Hillman Promoters Oregonian: Prosecution for al leged false pretenses in connection with the sale of lots in the alleged townsite of Hillman, in the Des chutes valley, will be undertaken when the grand jury assembles the latter part of this month, said District Attorney Cameron. That official has been quietly looking about for information on the sub ject. J. O. Fleming, a resident of Salem, informed the district at torney that he purchased two lots in Hillman on the installment plan and has paid f 175 on ac count. He says he was deceived as to the value of the property and will give bis testimony if a prose cution is undertaken. Fleming has alio laid his case before the poetoflice department and it is possible that a prosecution will be commenced before the federal grand jury alleging misuse of the mails. Both F. J. Cooper and T. M. Taylor, who constitute the com pany selling Hillman, are out of the city, and it is said' that tlfey are making a harvest in the vicinity of Spokane. There is no activity in the Hillman trade in this city at present, but the wife of one of the promoters is here and is said to have announced her inten tion to carry on the sale of the property, contending that it is all that it is represented to be. Hillman is an outgrowth of the railroad extensions going on in the Deschutes valley and its name is intended to be a felicitous combi nation of syllables from the names of the two great builders. Lots in the proposed town are sold under representation that both "roads have recognized it as a strategic commercial point on their lines. Attorney-General Crawford, who visited the spot recently, and of ficials and prominent citizens of Crook county, say that the town site is located on a lava bed and is totally unsuited for any human purpose. Harvey W. Scott Dead Harvey W.Scott, editor of the Portland Oregonian for the past half century, died at Baltimore, Maryland, Sunday morning, August T. Mr. Scott went to that city for an important operation a short time ago, and died from the effects of the surgeon's knife. He was 72 years of age. The primary cause ol the death of the Oregonian editor was a complication of rheumatic com plaints which came upon him after a trip from the east about May 1. Contrary to the belief of many readers of the Oregonian, Mr. Scott mantained an office in the Oregon ian building and directed the gen eral policy of the paper until his illness, three months ago. Some of the shorter editorials were written by him, and more dictated, while the subject and tone of many of the articles appearing on the editorial page were suggested by Mr. Scott to his subordinates. The trouble that was eventually the cause of his death, was first noticed by Mr. Scott about Mayl, but he continued his work at the office as best he could until about the first of'June, although at times he could scarcely get to his work. He went to Hot Lake, Oregon, for medical treatment, but grew worse continually until about two weeks ago, when it was decided that an operation might give relief. Ac cordingly, on Monday of last week he and his wife and eon Leslie M., arrived in Baltimore Mr. Scott said he had stood the journey fine aud insisted on going onto the operating table last Saturday in stead of Monday, as had been plan ned. A number of the best physicans in the land were to assist in the operation, and after an examina tion found that Mr. Scott bad a weak heart, but none thought that he would have any trouble surviv ing the effects of the operation. There were no unusual symptons and the patient was considered practically out of danger until Sun day morning, when the end came suddenly and without pain.

While the Culled States has been more fortunate than Kurupcun coun tries Id the amount of good bituminous and anthracite coal w hich it possesses, still the time la tint fur distant when the American people must realize that If the price of coal Is not to reach such a high figure that the Industries of the United States cannot compete with foreign Industries we will have to be more careful of what Is now wasted in the process of mining, and then we may look for the general adoption of brlquettlng us a partial solution of the problem of mine waste. Brlquettlng schemes have failed In certain Instances In the past because they were not under proper technical supervision or the supply of raw fuel or binder was unccrtalu or poor Judg ment was shown in the locution of the plant to supply markets already sup plied with good fuel at low prices. Most of the brlquettlng plants In Eu ropean countries are located nt the mines and are owned by the mine op erators, so that they may utilize the waste from the mines In the case of the hard fuels or can make low grade fuels such ns lignites Into briquets without transportation charges having been paid on the raw material. Success In the fuel brlquettlng In dustry la the Culted Stales will only be attained when American mine op erators become sufficiently Interested In this method of utilizing their mine waste, or, In case -of "Mgnltos, making a good fuel from Inferior raw material, to Install complete brlquettlng plants at their mines. With proper equip ment and superintendence plants so located should be a good Investment for the operators. Engineering Magazine. ABOUT ALUMINIUM. Metal li So Pliable That It Provee Useful as a Textile Material, Though aluminium takes first rank among metals for lightness, combined with toughness nnd durability.
