' ' " '"' McAllen & o ':i-'r..:ircr- ,.T -EXCLUSIVE DRY THIRD and MORRISON FARM TOPICS. Crop Reports and Talks With Farmers. Hon. J. L. Kn 8 j, of Wilsonvitte, who was in town Saturday, stated that he believed it was a mistaken idea (or far mers to pay a fancy price for hogs to eat damaged wheat, as only a small per centage of the grain was damaged by sprouting. About three per cent of his wheat was sprouted, but new cylinder teeth in the thresher caused the sprouted grains to break and they were separated from the clean wheat. Mr. Kruse believes that the grea'er part of the wheat threshed can be marketed. , It is probable, as a result of the re cent rainy season that Oregon far mers will again adopt the practice of stacking wheat after it is bound from theieiper. Much o! the grain could have been gived from damage, had it teen stacked before the rains came. Some farmers still contend that wh at shcc'ts can be preserved by capping the eame, the grains standing an immense amount of rain when protected by this method. Early wheat near the timber suffered nrst. It is surprising, how ever, how much of the wheat threshed is marketable after the continued heavy rains. Late oats are filling out and ripening nicely since the rains. Potatoes are making an encouraging growth, and it ia believed that the rain will be the means of making a bounti iul crop. Hops never looked better. . H. A. Waldron,of New Era precinct, was here Monday, and stated that his fall grain was iu good condition in the stack, awaiting the arrival of the thresher. He had cut his ripened spring wheat since the rain, which was also in good condition, and expected to stack the same on the next day. Hop growers have evidently learned that it is not the best plan to contract their hops for sale in advance of pick ing, as not a single contract has been tiled in the county recorder's offi:e this season. The growers, who contracted their hops for three years during the last season, are still at the mercy of the hop buyer. Growers evidently had no trouble in getting money for picking ex penses this season, and were not com pelled to bind out theii crops at a stated price. A few farmers have mortgaged their crops for picking money, but no price per pound is stipulated. 0, Kocher, of Mark's Prairie, dem onstrated the fact this season that it pays to string hops from one pole to an other. In a part of one his yards the vines were strung with pieces of twine between the pjles, a very marked im provement was shown in the quality and quantity of the hops. 0. 0.

GOODS IMPORTERS PORTLAND, OREGON t wn Wednesday, reports that the far mers in that section all have their grain ttacked, that have not already threshed. He further says that the wheat is in good condition there, considering the extent of the rains that have fallen. John F. Koehler, of Canby, brought to town Wednesday a sample of wheat that stood out in the shock during the rains, that is really in fair condition. Mr. Koehler says that wheat, which was looked after properly in the shock during the rains was not seriously dam aged. Of course, Where farmers were slack in looking after the shocks and did not keep them standing so that the water would run off and give thera a chance to air and dry, the grains sprouted. The Oregon Oity-Portland bicycle path is practically completed as far as Milwaukie. The finishing touches are being pnt on the path, such as leveling, covering with sand, drainage, etc. With the completion of the path to Milwau kie the last of the $1200 raised by selling bicycle tags will have been expended. Even a part of this was raised by selling tags in Multnomah county. J. F. Clark, president of the Wheeling Club, states that he does not know just what will be done about the mile of unfinished path north of Milwaukie. At present the roadway is in good condition to the Multnomah county line. Money may be raised by private subscription to com plete this part of the pathway. On the whole, excellent work has been done on the pathway, considering the rough country built over, and difficulties en countered. Portland wheelmen speak very highly of the work done.

Justice of the Peace W, W. Jesse, of Barlow, had a good crop' of Hungarian prunes this season, while neighbor's prune orchards were comparatively barren of fruit. Mr. Jesse hauled sev eral loads of his prunes to town and dis pjsed of them at a good price. It is now almost an assured fact that the Southern Pacific will take off the Roseburg local about October 1st, and put on a day overland to run ' as far south as Redding, Calif. It is not yet known what will be the schedule time for the two oveilands, but one will run in the dajtime and the other at night. William Dutcher has leased the big orchard on the old Burns place on the Westside. This is one ot the oldest or chards in the country, and still bears abundant quantities of fruit. There will be several hundred bushels of ap ples and a quantity of pears this year. This orchard is now the property of the Portland General Electric Company. . Assessor Eli Williams and deputy, J. G. Porter, are busy getting the assess ment roll ready for the board of equali zation, which meets in October. Depu ties Nelson, Blair and Pollock have com pleted their alloted share of work, and returned to their respective homes. Owing to the thorough field work and the system adopted of covering all the land, it is believed that the work will be thorough and satisfactory. Constable McCown and some dogs went to Beaver Creek 'luesaay on a bear hunt. Signs of a bear had been seen in Jean Cummings' orchard, and a determined effort was planned to catch Bruin. Mud was found on the trunk of an apple tree, evidently deposited there by the paw of a wild bear. The dogs were put on the scent, and after chat ing around in the creek bottom for a couple of hours, treed a coon. The bear had evidently been in the orchard sev eral days before, but the scent had van ished.. Elaborate preparations are being made for the 13th annual fair of the Butte Creek Agricultural Association to be held at Marquam on Friday and Sat urday, September 29ih and 30th. A liberal premium list is offered tor credi table displays, and the attractions to be presented surpass that of any previous a. - I- L year. 1 lie cuiie vrees iair uus ueen a notable success from the very begin ning as compared with the history of other Oregon fairs, and it will be pre eminently the attraction for large crowds this season. Two days cannot be spent more pleasurebly or profitably than at the Butte Creek fair, and be sides it merits encouragement as a Clackamas county institution. Governor T. T. Geer, Secretary of State Dunbar, and Fish Commissioner Reed returned Sunday from the Upper Clackamas hatchery, having rode in from the end of the trail in one of Brad ley's livery rigs. The governor ex pressed himself as highly pleased with the beginning at the hatchery. About two and a half million of salmon eggs were secured at the hatchery this sea son, although there was considerable de lay in placing the racks on account of the continued high water. The water even now is at abnormally high stage. The board is highly pleased with the new buildings and apparatus, which has a capacity of $8,000,000 eggs. The new flume, one mile in length, has wa ter capacity sufficient to hatch 20,000, 000 eggs in one season. The governor said it was a rougfc trip, but he was well pleased with the first year's work of the new hatchery. The ball given by Meade Corps Vol unteer Auxiliary at the armory last Friday night in honor of Company I, Oregon Volunteers, was a happy finale of a series of successful entertainments given to the returned volunteers. It proved to be one of the notable social events of Oregon City. The tasty deco rations were in keeping with the memo rable patriotic event, and the previously arranged details were carried out to per fection. The soldier boys were attired in their white dress parade suits, and their appearance elicited general admi ration. The music was good, and the large crowd of dancers enjoyed the oc- casion to the utmost. An excellent lunch was served. The women of the auxiliary are to be congratulated on the good work accomplished by them for many months past in substantially looking after the comfort of the soldiers at Manila, and in entertaining them -y bf return - PERSONAL PERSONAL MENTION.

Board of County Commissioners' Aftermath and Gossip. Among the items of business trans acted by the board of county commis sioners was the granting of the petition of John Ferguson, et al, for a county road on the Aberneihy. This matter has been before the county court on petition, remonstrance, and inter- persed with claims for damages, for the past three years. Through an inad verteuce on his part, Mr. Benson did not have in a claim for damages at this term, or he would have received a nom inal amount for damages by reason of the road passing through his premises. The opening of this road will accom modate a number of families, who can now get to market without going a mile or two out of the way. The matter of the petition for a county road from Third street to the bluff to in tersect the Lawton road, was postponed until the October term. F. T. Griffith ppeared for the petitioners, and Sena tor Brownell for the remonstrators, the Southern Pacific Oompany and ths Port land General Electric Company. The latter quoted numerous authorities, showing that a county road could not have its starting point in the limits of a municipal corporation and extend out side into other territory. However, the matter will be heard on its legal points at the next term of court. Other matters disposed of by the board, was the Stromgren road, which was postponed until the next term. The report of the viewers on the peti tion of Lanton Avol for a county road, was laid over uulil the October term. John Sims was grauted a petition to va cate certain tracts of land in Barlow.

"It seems almost incredible that in the neighborhood of Ml) ,000 in actual casii ahnnlrl have been confided to letters dur inr the last vear. and harder still to credit that the most exhaustive efforts failed to find the owners oi one-iourtn oi that amount," writes Patti Lyle Collins in Thr, Ladiet' Home Journal lor Septem ber. "The en vol pes which ste addressed are kept on file for four years, blank ones not so long, but in either case a liberal margin of time is allowed for claimants to anncar before the money is finally turned into the Treasury to the credit of the Post-OlLice Department.

' The Methodist Episcopal church have accepted an offer from County Judge Ryan of $4300 for 60 feet front on Main street. ' This Is the most important real estate transfer that has taken place here for some time. This is the best located business property in the city. The judge Intends to erect a two-story brick structure on this property with a large storeroom and office on the ground floor and offices in the upper story. It is rumored that H. Weinhard in tends to construct another brick build in on Ms property, and put up an op era house. If Oregon City should get an appro priation for a government building, which ia not at all improbable, it would - give a new impetus to building im provements.
