The petition is signed by ten of the prominent otlicials and Iswvers of the atale aa follows: W. H. U'Hen, tieorjfH C. lirownell, I'uiled Kutes Senator John H. Mitchell, C. K N. Wood. J. C. Moreland, J. X. Teal, (jeorjfH H. Williams, United States Senator C. W. Fulton, 'IiIhioii Font ami J. It. Waldo. Mr. U'Hen wat informed by the members of the supreme court that the case will probably not come up for hearinif before that court until the opening of the October term. Those Hiiiiiliiir the petition to the apellate court will confer in the writing of a brief and the petitioners will be allowed to be represented before the supreme court in the final argument of the cause by one speaker. It baa not been decided who will apiiear in this capacity for the friends of the amendment. Mr. U'P.en feels Very confident of the final outcome of the ti(ht against the initiative and ref erendum which he is satisfied will de clare for the validity of the amendment. The text of the petition follows: "The undersigned petitioners respect fully represent to the 'court that there are two questions of law in the above en title'! eanee as decided by the circuit court of Multnomah county, that are of great public importance, and in which questions your petitioners are very much interested, to-wit : "First, the question aa to tbe legal submission and adoption of the amend ment to Section 1 of Article 4 of the con stitution of the State of Oregon ; "Second, the question as to the power of the legislative assembly to declare tfie existence: of an emergency and to pro vide that a law shall take effect and be in force from and after its approval. "Wherefore your petitioners pray tbat an order may be entertained by the court allowing your petitioners to appear in said cause Amici Curiae, and file a brief and make oral argument before tbe court on said questions. "And your petitioners will ever pray etc." FKUSl ; ROW EES TO ORGANIZE. Growers of I he Willamette Talley Un?e Harmony and Unity in Their Ranks. As a result of the meeting of the Wil lamette Yalley Prune Association in Sa lem this week at which delegates were in attendance from every fruit growing district in the state, and many from the outside, a circular letter was issued to all the prune growers in the Northwest. The letter urges co-operation and says in part : "The siipplv of prunes thia year doea not seem to be excesxive in view of all the conditions. Old stocks in tbe East are almost exhausted, and the carry over on this Const is practically nothing, probably less than 1300 cars in Califor nia on June 1, and constant heavy ship ment has been going on ever since, so tbat the old stock, when the new crop comes, will be nothing. "France has less than 10,000,000 con sidered less than one quarter of a crop. Even the Anstrio Hungary country is asking for prices for prunes from Ameri can exporters, while California will have not to exceed 70 per cent of last year's crop. Notwithstanding thia and the tact tbat tbe country is prosperous and consumers willing to pay a fair price for their supplies, there is a mighty effort being made to break down to a very low level the growers' idea of value at the very outset. One large concern is re ported to bave circulated the report in tbe East that 'they have control ol 70 to 80 ter cent of all the crop growing in one large district in Oregon.' and they are reported to have made a large number of sales In the East at a price which will necessitate the grower ,in whom they are deeply interested) taking no more than 2 cents basis O,' cents for 40-50) for his crop. "Thia meeting was unanimous in the opinion that prunes ought not to sell for less than L"4 bagaais (4l4' for40-50s) f. o. b. shipping points, and this should give the grower at the least estimate 4'v to 44 clear. It was thought that this is a very reasonable figute considering the supply and tbe probable demand, and if tbe market is not manipulated, they will go into consumption very rapidly at this figure, and the consumer will pay just the lame for his prunes if we sell at 3'j cents instead of the above figures." COMPLIMESTARY ASD OTHERWISE. A Chronic Kicker Write Albany Demo crat About Gladstone Chautauqua. A gentleman who attended the Chau tauqua at Oregon City this year writes the Albany Democrat as follows: I wat greatly pleaded with its per formances. But while some things were tip to the standard other) were not. Dolliver's lecture was very fine and de livered In excellent style. While not performed it was nevertheless instruct ive, pleasing and interesting. Bob Bur dette's lecture on "Good Medicine" made children and girls laugh, yet there was very little originality about it. Manv of bis jokes were gray with age and his manner was far from being attractive. He has a very poor cracked voice and he speaks entirely too fast. Yet he man ages to hold the attention of the crowd, as all funny men are able to do. Bob is a very pleasant gentleman, good natured, kind and a!! able. He never says any- thing to ofTeriil the taste of the most fas tidious, and is, therefore, a favorite at audi places. His wife is a smart, good looking I'ttl woman, s pleasant talker. She, too, tries to tie humorous, and some times says some funny ihings, and if she laughed less at her own witticisms would take far better with her audience. A genuine humorist will never langh at his own sallies, J -ut the great attraction at tbe Chan, tauqua was the Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri. He is certainly a genius in bis way. He is unique, and powerful. He is not only a splendid speaker but ha is original, argumentative, witty and ir resistible. He imitates nobody, and no b'Mly can imitate him. He is tbe only Champ Clark living, and must be heard to lie understood and appreciated. HHtiT IMS, OVLKr OF GOLD. Yellow Metal Found In Large (Jiiun. titles In Southern Fart r County. Great excitement, not without cause, prevails in the southern part of Clacka mas county because of recent discover ies made there ry local mining prospect ors, (iold in Immensely payin.- quanti ties has been located on eiaims tlmt have been repeatedly wotked and pros pected lor the last ten years, but the hidden wealth was never disclosed be fore. The discovery was made about ten days ago by local and Portland people, who recently acquired title to tbe lands where the mineral has beo located in such paying quantities. Samples tbat will assay between $2000 and J3000 to the ton bave been brought to this city by the interested owners. Intense eicitment exists and hundreds of fortune seekeis are making fur tbe scene of tbe discov ery. The claims are located on Ogle creek, a tributary of the Molalla river, about 55 miles from this city. l'lans for the working of tbe mines have not been decided upon by the own era of the mines, but it is understood that the thorough development of the properties will be ondertaken soon. The discovery has caused not a little excite ment in this city and throughout the Molalla country, as that section will profit largely in tbe succesalul working of the claims. BIG CROPS OF GRMS ASD FRUIT. County Treasurer Calilll Says That OaU Will Yield Fifty Uu-hels Per Acre. "The yield of oats in Clackamas coun ty this yesr will be tbe largest of any year tbat I have ever witnessed," said County Treasurer Cahill, who has lived in this county lor thirty years, in dis cussing crop conditions this week. Mr. CabiU lives on small grain farm near thia city and says that be has not seen a single oat field tbat will not yield a phe nomenal crop. He predicts that the owt crop in this county will make an av erage yield closely approximating 50 bushels per acre, "Wheat is also gen erally good throughout the county," con tinued the speaker, "and I forecast a Bood yield of tbat cereal." The bay crop in Clackamas county was exceptionally large, and It bas been years since a larger crop of fruit of better quality baa been harvested nere. Har vest season is late this year because of the unseasonable weather. Cutting of grain has begnn, but threshing will not .be started before tbe latter part of the month. Lice are reported to be thriv ing in many bop yards, and except the weather becomes extremely warm tbey will do extensive damage to the matur ing crop. Ah Orkqo! Citv Boy. The Sunday Oregonian contained a brief sketch and portrait of Prof. Paul Wyman, a former Oregon City boy, who has just been elected principal of the Weston public schools. Prof. Wyman was born at Ca nemab and spent his early youth in this city. After completing the public schools here he went to Monmouth, from which institution he was graduated a few years ago. Since that time be has been en gaged in teaching school at various points in the western part of tbe state. His many friends here are pleased to note the recognition he has received, and know that be possesses the necessary educational attainments to successfully discharge the otlice to which he bas been elected. SfMMARY Crop Rkport. The past week has been dry and cool. In the western section nearly every morning was cloudy, and fn the coast counties the cloudiness was almost continuous, which seriously interfered with haying. The hay crop is now nearly all secured, and the yields are estimated to be slight ly below the average. In southern Ore gon and in the Grand UonJe valley some of the deficiency has been made up by batting grain for hay. The second crop of alfalfa is now being harvested in a few localities. Correspondents in Polk and Jackson counties report grasshoppers unusually numerous in tbe clover fields. The grain harvest is now well underway in all lections of the state, and the yields are reported good as to quality, but be low the average in quantity. Hops are verv backward, and the great amount of cloudiness during tbe week has been an unfavorable factor in the advancement of this crop. Potatoes and gardens con tinue thrifty and promising. Corn needa more warmth and sunshine. Tbe blight previously reported as affecting field on ions continues to epread slowly. Prunes are beginning to color and early apples are ripe. A few correspondents report Italian prunes as dropping badly, and tbat the yields will be less than antici pated. Pears are doing splendidly, and a heavy crop is expected. Apples con tinue doing well. l'.at All Vi u Want. Persons troubled with indigestion or Dyspepsia can eat all they want if they take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

Satnrday morning a man having all the appear ance of a hobo appeared at the farm of William Morgan, occupied by tbe family of Thomas Large, about two miles south of Albany on tbe Tangent road. He knocked at tbe door and a daughter of Mr. Large, who was at home alone, re sponded and opened the door, when. without any invitation, Mr. Hobo walked in. He demanded that she give him what money there was about tbe houBe. She told hitn there waa no money in tbe house, when he told her there was and for ber to get it at once, and at tbe same time drew a big ugly looking knife to impress noon ber his demand. Instead of going for the money, which tbe hobo probably thought she was doing, ana was smiling to himself over the prospec tive fat purse be would soon have in bis inside pocket, she made for a double- barrelled shotgun which stood in tbe corner of a room near bv. This she aimed directly at Mr. Hobo and told him she would shoot, tie tool ner ac her word and did not take time to go out at the door but went through an open window at double quick time, and made haste (0 get out of reach of that danger ous gun in the bands of the plucky Miss Large. The sheriffs office was notined, but the man has not been found. Al bany Herald. THE OLD RELIABLE - ! r. - Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
