I VACATION. In memory of the father of the giand old state of Oregon, the now townslte which has sprung up on the west side of the Wlllamete river here is to be called McLoughlln. The pro moters have been working for somo tlmo on the plat and have now com pleted the .surveying and laying out uf the blocks and streets, and the same will extend along the west bank of the river for nearly a mile toward Portland, and will also run back on the nill for some distance. The loca tion Js unusually beautiful and com mauds a magnificent view of the sur rounding country, with mountains al ways in view. It Is expected tho lots and acreage will be put onto the mar ket at an early date. Numerous inquir ies have been made and reservation's asked, so that It appears that many residences will make their appearance in that section in the next few months. The new electric line on the west side to Portland will skirt the tract and everything points to a very lively sot HARVEST TIME IN THE WEST. Harvest is on all over the West as .hese lines are being penned. The hreshers are in the field; smoke la mes fragrantly from the chimneys of the barns where the hops are curing; the hay mows are packed to bursting; the potato man is abroad In the land, is large as life, and a stream of fruit and berry pickers flows endlessly over the country. It has been a goodly year for crops. Our people are pros perous and every one has reason to be happy. The volume and variety of crops In the West are so great, how ever, that the months of summer are not able to compass them. Timber, for instance, is a crop which Is har vested up and down the Pacific Coast unceasingly, yielding more than one hundred and fifty millions dollars of wealth each year. Since we are under the hecessity of callin it by some name wo may as well call the salmon Reason a harvest. It runs for most of the year, resulting in millions of dol lars of wealth. Likewise In the out put of a score of our natural resources the harvest runs on perennially. But It is the musical clickety-click of the mower, the rattle of the self-binder, the hum of the thresher that we have learned to associate In our minds with the crop-gathering period. These con stitute our real harvest time, and this is the kind of harvest In the midst of which we now are, here in the West. HOW THE WEST KEEPS GROWING A remarkable and unexpected sho-w-ing Is that made by the passenger de partment rf the Northern Pacific Rail road, to the effect that the passenger business for the first six months of the present year exceeded perceptibly that for the first six months of 1909! The movement into the West during the first par: of last year was abnormally large, and much of the movement was attributed to the Alaska Yukonliiclno Exposition at Seattle. The exposition served to attract many people here, doubtless, but the movement is far from having spent Its force. Those who came out for the purpose of seeing the exposition found so much el :e In this part of the world to make the trip attractive that they have been busy telling their friends about It ever since. There seems no reason to doubt that the Pacific Coast is to have an unusually large share of tourist travel this year. Aside from this, there Is even a greater rush than usual of the homo seekers, of those who are coming to the West with the itentlon of remain ing permanently, provided that they find things to suit them and openings for ocupation. There have been many thousands who have preceded them In this search, and, as a rule, they have found the conditions which they were looking for and have become part of the permanent population. All those who come properly equipped will do so. The opportunities in this country are Innumerable and they cover such a great variety of Slings that no one can fail to find what he seeks. It is clear that the whole Pacific West Is to receive a great accession to its population In 1910. FISHING IN THE WEST. All down the line, good, old reliable Prosperity Is with the West. Even the fishes of the Western waters are so phenomenally plentiful and prolific that the fishing Industry which today centers in Puget Sound has become a staple, progressive asset of the Pacific Coast, ranking with Its lumber, its grain, its petroleum, Its precious met als, its fruit in all of which the West leads the world, leads the world! It Is one of the strangest "mysteries of the sea" that, practically without planting, utterly without tilling, man kind should have been harvesting un told "crops" of fish for food year after year since the first seine was cast. And that now, with all the centuries of the world's fishing behind us, here in the glorious waters of the United States' Pacific-Coast, in Its vast ocean, in all its bays and sounds and Inlets, and up all its tributaries, from the mighty Columbia to the most insig nificant rvulet that trickles its noisy way from the snow-capped mountains down to the salty seas, should abound the most abundant hordes of the sta ple varieties of food fish that any part of earth has ever known a ceaseless ly recurring "crop" that Western fish ermen (provided, of course, with the approved modern equipment) simply by being on hand, are permitted to gather, gather, gather into the swell ing volume of Western products, to the value of thirty-five or forty million dollars a year, take the salmon, the halibut, the cod and the herring, the oysters, the crabs and the clams, etc., etc., etc., not forgetting, of course, the shrimps and the whales, as all are fish and all of these and many, many more crowding to the "nets" of the fishermen of the West. Fish are fish, but Western fish, canned, cured, salted, packed on the rocky shores -of Alaska, upon the dully-golden-sheeny banks of the majestic Columbia, on the placid, Shashta-risen Sacramento, and along the fir-fringed edges of romantic Puget Sound are staple delicacies of nutriment now de manded and found upon the tables of the peoples of earth. Spread more or less thinly over the months from June to October may bo found the vacation time of the Amerl can people. Whether we are able to draw liberally or sparingly upon this allotment, the most of us perhaps SO per cent of U3 will be able to snatch a few days, possibly a few weeks, out of the heart of Biimmor for a little private recuperative romp with our selves In the Interest of our constitu tions. A vacation of some sort to the man who lives the strenuous life Is all but a necessity. If he. does not take it this Bummer he may survive and he may get through an additional summer, or, perhaps, several sum iners; but, eventually, his work will tell on him to the extent of packing him off to some winter resort for six weeks, on five hours' notice, right in the busy season, at the peremptory demand of his physician. So that, after all, his hard-headed resolution to take no vacation does not turn out to be business economy. Vacation Is for the purpose of rest, and rest means a change. There can be no rest, comparatively speaking without a change of scene and condl tlon. In the case of the average busi ness man, the mo3t important change is a change of surroundings, which also includes a change of elevation, and of the two, the latter is the more important. If you have been living in the valley, close to sea level, then make your escape to the mountains. The air In the mountains Is different it Is rarifled; In the wooded districts it contains more azone, and there are a great many reasons why "Major Ozone" i" tfc on-"'- cin'e'iients should bo patterned after more than he is. And now one other direction as to how to take this medicine: After you have your vacation planned, and lwe really gotten on the way, forget your business. Tell it to go clear to the . It won't, so you are perfectly safe in making the bluff; and then upon your return at the end of, say, two weel;s; any little think that has gone wrong during your absence, you can, with the added energy and impetus of two weeks off under favorable conditions, easily minimize, or laugh into Insig nificance, or banish altogether. So be economical, and take a vacaton! $100.00 Reward woo Id Baldly be paid for a cure bv mnnv people who nrn rrippled with rhenmatism, yet if they only knew it, they ran b cured by a few hot ties ot Ba l ird'B Snow Liniment, mid the price h rn'y 2Sc, SOc nnd fl rer bottl".

Up and down the Pacific Coast are great belts of timber; also a great number of restless people preparing land for occupancy. Each year the hillsides are a tangle of slashings, accumulated during the past winter's woTk. In August this slashing Is burned to clear the land for homes. Results smoky skies, dim, pale-blue horizons, a pungent smell of burning fir and hemlock a red sun by day, and by night great, red lights looming against the sky. Sometimes these fires break bounds and go racing for miles through the big timber, trailing dis aster. Thus have men In Oregon and Washington gone to bed rich and arisen at dawn with their fortunes in roaring conflagrations.

Jones Drug Co SIX HUNDRED FEET AFTER OIL. It. has been some time since we have heard directly from the oil excite ment, however, the officials, of the Home Oil & Gas Company, are very enthusiastic over the prospects, they are now down about five or six hun dred feet, by report of the experts. Oil will be found at the depth of any where from 800 to a 1000 feet, the oil well is located on Mr. Vierhus farm, about six miles East of Oregon City, southeast of the Baker land donation claim. CLACKAMAS COUNTY It is very probable that Clackamas County will have the best exhibit In the Chamber of Commerce In Port land of any county In the State. Al ready Clackamas has taken the lead by having the first exhibit upon the table. Mr. Wight, the processor, an nounced one day this week that Clack amas County will be the first to have the newly processed fruit in the large Jars, on the table and ready for the inspection of the hundreds of visitors that daily view the exhibits. Among some of the prominent fruit growers that have exhibits In Port land are: C. W. Swallow, of Maple Lane, who has sugar prunes on dis play; Mrs. K. L. Newton, has a jai of her famous .blackberries that caused so much comment at the Lewis & Clark Fair, on exhibition; Thos. F. Ryan and Mrs. Anna S. Hayes, both of Gladstone, have a fine exhibit of Crawford peaches; Geo. W. Waldron house apples are famous for taking the silver cups at the Clackamas County Fairs, has a display of Hyslop crab apples also. The Clackamas County table needs some vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, etc., and In fact, all kinds. Also the table should have some grains and grasses.

Gets Storm of Protest from All Parts of Country The farmers of the country are thoroughly aroused over the proposed plan of Congress and the Postofflce Department to place all of the routes of the rural free delivery service un der the contract system, or what is known as the star route mall service, Those enjoying the conveniences and friiits of rural free delivery are alive in their efforts to thwart, if possible, any action that may be proposed in this respect. They will not give up their present first-class mail service for a poor and unreliable one without a hard light, and In this the farmers are already showing marked evidence. Not only Is R. F. D. News receiving many protests, but Senators and mem bers of the House in practically every State are being Importuned by farm ers through word or letter to use their Influence and power of vote to stop any legislation proposed that would either abolish or curtail an extension of rural free delivery. While there has been no official an nouncement made as yet by the Post office Department or the postal com mittee of Congress that such a pro gram is being contemplated in the near future, there have been open statements made by leaders In both parties In Congress that the change is bound to come at a time not far off, for the sake of economy. It is estimated that a saving of something over $0,000,000 could be effected an nually by putting rural free delivery under the contract system. The plans are being secretly guard ed by those who have them In prepara tion, and no official announcement Is expected to be made public until af ter the coming Congressional elec tions this Fall. Probably no lnfo'ma tion will be given out on the subject until Congress reconvenes next De cember, and It will then come out in the President's message of recom mendations and in the annual report of the Postmaster General to Con gress. Members of Congress who have dis cussed the subject are of the belief that If public sentiment Is aroused against abolishing rural free delivery, efforts toward that direction may be postponed until the following year, or possibly longer. Well knowing the great popularity of rural free delivery, Congressmen freely declare that the administration could not afford to disregard an earn est appeal of the 20,000,000 or more people, who would he materially af fected by any interference with the rural mail service In the various Congressional cam paigns now under way the proposed abolishment of rural free delivery is being made one of the principal is sues. Farmers are worked up to a high pitch of feeling in the matter, and candidates for Congress are being compelled to give their faithful promise, if elected, that they will use their personal influence and vote to defeat any Interference with the pres ent rural delivery service. They de clare their intention to keep close watch on Congressmen as to their at titude on this proposed legislation, and all pledges unfaithfully kept are to bo dealt with at the polls. Those Congressional candidates who are disposed to treat the subject light ly and who will not pledge support this campaign may look for a slump of votes in every rural voting precinct this Fall. The farmers are in earnest about this matter. They feel that their personal interests are in jeopardy, and will not rest quietly until the question is positively settled. Already In many sections of the country preparation is being made to petition Congress and President Taft next Winter. It is ex pected that these protests will far ex ceed in number any organized remon strance ever sent to Washington. Not a member of the House and Senate are telling their rural constitu ents that they have no knowledge of any plan on foot to substitute rural free delivery with the contract sys tem. Ignorance of the Internal work ings of Congress Is indeed a poor ex cuse for any member in either the House or Senate to plead. Men who lead In national affairs are always posted on legislation under considera tion or what is expected to be pro posed from time to time, and are ever alert to the Interest their people may have directly or indirectly. The Congressional Record gives evidence of the fact that the question of abolishing rural free delivery and placing that service under the con tract system for economy sake was discussed in the House during con sideration of the annual appropria tion bill last Spring. Furthermore, the subject received some considera tion by the House Committee on Post offices and Postroads when it was preparing the bill. On the other hand, the subject has been one of conversa tion among officials and employes inj the Postofflce Department. They make : no secret of the fact that the Post-1 master General Is making a thorough j investigation in the workings of rural delivery and the star route mall ser-; vice, with a view to consolidating the two services Into one. On July 1, last, by order of the, T") t .. i "I .... 1 1 1. 1 I division, which has always been un der the jurisdiction of the Second As sistant Postmaster General, was consolidated with the rural free de livery division in the office of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General and hereafter the business of the two services will be conducted In a divi sion known as the rural mail division. While it is claimed the consolidation was effected in the interest of econ omy, it Is at the same time admitted to be the first step toward further i economy by-placing rural free deliv ery under the contract system In the future. At the present time there are nearly 42,000 rural delivery routes now in operation throughout the States and territories. The number of star routes now under contract are In the neigh borhood of 7,900. During the past year or two the Postofilce Department has strongly evidenced Its hostility toward an ex tension of the rural delivery service. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, there was a "saving" of $225. 000 by the Department in the rural de livery appropriation. It wag shown In the Postmaster General's report made to Congress last Winter that this amount had been unexpended for the service and was turned back into the Treasury.
