There are many things yet to be done in the wny of advancing the city's Interests, but they will come with time. Ki.amath I.akk Raii.koaii. Construc tion of the Klamath Lake railroad is pro gressing in a way quite satisfactory to the promoters of the enterprise. Four hundred men, including riOCbinnse, are now working at grading and track laying. Tracks were laid across the steel bridge over the Klamath river on the line of the road last week, a distance of ten and three-quarters miles, from the starting tioint at Laird, on the 8. P. Co.'s rail road. Last Friday the track layers and steel gang were moved from Laird, from which they have heretofore operated, to Fall Creek. Two trains are engaged in the building operations, a ballast train and a construction train. The contract ors are slilllhaniered somewhat in their work owing to the great scarcity of labor.

Mart Miller, a well known farmer who resides at Knox Unite, waa in Albany Friday, says the Herald. He saya thata nnmlH-rof hones have died recently in that locality from a disease which the veterinary surgeons pronounce catarrhal fever. John Len nox has lost live head of line horses from the disease. Mrs. M. Chambers 4, Mr. Miller H, and Smith Cox 5. Others have lost several bend ol horses from the same discssc. Ow ners ol horses in that local ity aie much exercised and pu.nlrd aH to what to do. Thus far veteiinary sur geons have been tumble to Hud a remedy and the disease is in most cases fatal. The horses are attacked with fever, fol lowed by w eakness and paralysis. About 75 horses near Knox Ilutte and Millers burg have died from the disease. Here ia an opportunity (or the scientists In the live stock department of the Oregon Ag ricultural Colleg" to do some practical good. Woiik to Stakt at O.nck. Mr. Stuart, of the condensed milk factory, came in this morning to look after the starting of work on tho new plant, says the Forest (irove Times. The plana will he com pleted by tlm architect and bids w ill lie called for Bt once. II bids are satisfac tory contracts will Is-let, or if not deemed best that way, they will go ahead' and build, themselves. As showing the scale on which the plant is to be built, Mr. Stuart says it will take Hourly 000,000 feet of lumlx'r for all the buildings. The machinery has been bought in the Fast and it will begin lo arrive about the first ol November, so it is desired to have the building advanced so it can be housed when it comes. Mr. Haines and Mr. Stuart have driven out to consult mill men and others today to see about how much material they can furnish and how fast it can he supplied. Scarcity ok IIki.i Kksconsiiilk. The scarcity of labor is felt not only by the farmers and orcharding", but enters into all sorts of industrial enterprises. The Western Union Telegraph Company had large plana laid for extending their lines all along the coast during the present summer, but have not been able to se cure sufllciont men to do the work. The wire for stringing the lines between Ashland and Glendalo has been on hand for many weeks past. There docs not seem to be any probability of obtaining help to have the proKsed new lines in ti so before the snow flies in the moun tains Uiis fall. The telegraph company is badly in need of the increased facili ties to transact its rapidly growing busi ness. The extraoruinary business re vival of the past few years has caused marvelous increase of telegraphing w hile the growth of the northwest coast trade is also in a large measure resiionsible for the condition. Puis ron Rioiit op Way. The Oregon Water Power it Railway Company has brought suit In llni circuit court again! Matilda lllllyard, James M. Iflllyard and John Doe Hillyard to have a strip of land condemned lor tlmir right of way purposes in tlm construction ol tim com pany's new road near Springwater. Tlm railway company Is now cngiued In se curing a right of way lor a railroad from Portland to near section HO in township 3 south, range 4 east, in this county. The defendant, M tllda Hillyaid, la tlm owner ol certain lands which are neces sary to he condemned for right of way purposes lor tlm company In order to construct their road, and both the plain tifiand defendant being unable to agree upon the compensation for the right ol way, asks judgment for the lurid and the damagea sustained. A similar case has been brought by the company against William Kesterson, Sarah Kesteison, A. Ii. Chamberlain and the Hillyards. OhkooM and Washington. The atten tion of those who kick at paying out a little to advertise Oregon so that it will be in a position to hold its own wilh Wash ngton is called to the following from a Washington paper, w hich we predict will never prove true: "Washington is now more densely Ksjpulaten than Oregon, having 77 people to Oregon's 44 to the square mile. It Is sometimes said that advertising a stale increases thn city faster than a rulal population. The com parative ligurea for Oregon and Washing ton show that Washington's rural popu lation ia 37 lo the square mile, Oregon's L'4 Oregon has two congiessmen, Washington three, Oregon was made a stale in 1H.1II, Washington in 1 HS!. thirty years alter. In ten years more Wash ington w ill lie so far ahead of Oregon in loiiulation and business that further comparison wilh the wealthy old moss back will be unnecessary. Portland will grow as the paw nbroker grow s ; Seattle, Tacoma ami Sjiokane will attend to the commerce and leading industries jf the Northwest." F.xt'KUiMKNTiNU Witii Hoes The Ore gon F.xpt-riuienl Station at Corvallis is conducting an investigation of hops and ho-drying which promises to irive some interesting ami in all probability highly valuable results. While the investiga tions have not yet been carried lar enough to warrant a formal announce ment of what has been done, it has been found already that the (Hipular opinion of the location and development of lupu line is wrong. The common method of drying hops carries oil much of the lupu line, as it becomes quite volatile il the temperature to which it is exposed rises aliove 110 degrees. The station has con structed apparatus by which it excts to be able lo ascertain bow much of the liipuline is carried olf in the air when hops are dried in the ordinary way. It is also exH'rimenling with various meth ods of dryinK hops by which this loss may be reduced without increasing the cost of drying. It is hoed that as a re sult ol these experiments, Oregon hop. growers may be supplied with informa tion w hich will enable them to give their product an even better reputation than tho Oregon hops now enjoy. Okkooh llisTomcAL. SociKTY. The constitutional convention of 1S57 will be the principle subject of discussion in the papers to be presented at the annual meeting ol the Oregon Historical Society, which will be held in Portland Decem ber 20. The proceedings and discussions of the convention will be considered at length and an elHirt will be made to se cure short papers by all the surviving memliers of Oregon's only constitutional convention, to lie read, if possible, hy their authors. A letter from the histo rian, Herbert Howe Bancroft, was read, in which ho expressed a stron; prefer ence for the Pacific coast as the perms nent location for his library. The assist ant secretary was authorized to secure copies of all medals ever struck off by order of the National government. The board took steps to co-oerato with the board of directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair Association towards securing a Lewis and Clark memorial building and providing an historical exhibit commen surate with the importance of the anni versary to be celebrated. Charles E. Ladd, treasurer of the society, and also a member of the executive committee of the board of the Lewis and Clark Fair, indicated how the society could aid the Fair Association in building up the his torical side of the exposition.
