Death at West Oregon City.
James Edward Hines, apod 43 years
and a. native of the state of California
where he was born December 22, 1862,
died of cancer of the stomach at his
home in. West Oregon City Monday after
noon. Deceased was married in Benton
county in 1891 and had resided in this
city about eight years. His wife and two
young children survive him.
Held to Circuit Court
Chas. Harnick, and John Heppler, two
Macksburg farmers charged with burn
ing slashing without first having obtain
ed a permit have waived examination
and furnished bonds for their appearance
at the circuit court which meets in No
vember. Both men are new-comers to
this state and claim ignorance of the
provisions of the amended forest fire law.
j evening there will be steamers making
trips to this city every day. A lighter
Iraft boat will take the place of the Po
mona, and will draw only nine inches,
which will make traveling comparatively
much easier during the extreme low
water. The little steamer is from the
Kellogg Transportation Company of Port
land and is called the steamer Chester.
The Orgona will continue to make her
usual trip to this city every other day.

the company that they can accommodate

Husband Deserted H
Carrie C. Jenkins, who married W. B.
Jenkins at San Jose, California, in Feb
ruary, 1900, is suing for a divorce on the
grounds of desertion in the month of
December following the marriage. Plain
tiff asks to resume her maiden name,
Carrie C. Duvall. She is represented in
a legal capacity by Geo. J. Cameron, of
Portland. Mr. Cameron is one of the
Portland attorneys who believes that
some punishment should be by law pro
vided for the deserting husband
Chautauqua Buildings Escaped
Getting beyond control, the fire that
was started last Thursday for the burn
ing of slashing on Hansen's property at
Gladstone, on the following day burned
the premises of C. H. Dauchy and cross
ing into Gladstone Park, for a Jime seri
ously threatened the main auditorium
and other buildings belonging to the
"Willamette Valley Chautauqua Assoc!
ation. The residents of Gladstone val
iantly fought the flames and considering
that a strong wind was blowing it is
considered remarkeble that greater dam
age did not result.
New Variety of Pear Family
E. P. Smith, the nurseryman of Gresh
am, Oregon, a number of years ago sent
to Ohio for scions of- a new pear named
the Gans. He top-worked a tree with
these scions, and the tree is now bearing
freely. This pear is an early variety,
two or three weeks ahead of the Bart
lett. The fruit in shape resembles the
Summer Doyenne, and in size is midway
between that variety and the Bartlett.
It is smooth and a handsome yellow in
color, when ripe. It is more highly flav
ored than the Bartlett and firmer In
flesh. It appears te be a desirable pear
for home use and home markets. Ore

Organize German Society
The Germans of Oregon City and vi
cinity have organized a siciety and the
name of the organization is The German
Society of Oregon City and vicinity. The
purposes of the society are to assist those
in need, help the newcomer to become
acquainted and in a general way to pro
mote the social life of the Germans. Of
ficers have been named as follows: Gus.
Schnoor. president; D. M. Klemsen, vice
president; Rudolph Seller, secretary; A.
Knapp. treasurer; Mayor E. A. Sommer,
master of ceremonies. At a largely at
tended meeting at Knapp's Hall Sunday
afternoon it was decided to keep the
charter open until October Sth.
What Clackamas Con Do
M. S. Shrock, one of the up-to-date
farmers near Hubbard, this county, was
a business visitor to Salem yesterday.
says the Statesman. At present he is
assisting as a member of a clover huller
gang, and he tells of a farmer on Elliott
Prairie, in Clackamas county, who has
this season harvested 76 bushels and 4
pounds of seed from nineteen acres of
clover. The land on which this was
grown was a worn-out grain farm five
years ago. Under the owner's new sys
tem the soil has been made to yield as
good, if not better, than ever before, and
this particular farmer secured the larg
est crop of any one in his section this
season. His clover seed will return him
nearly $550. Pretty good pay for nine
teen acres.
Property Owners Fight Flames
W. H. Latourette, of McMinnville, was
in the city the latter part of last week
and while here assisted a number of the
farmers of the Maple Lane district in
fighting a fire on the Shortridge property
that threatened to dp considerable dam
age to surrounding property. The fire
was fought all night before it was finally
placed under control. D. R. Dimick, of
Canby, was in the city Saturday and
reported the buring of a valuable barn
on the farm of Thos. Blanchard at Cen
tral Point the day before. Mr. Blanch-
ard's residence and other buildings were
only saved by the vigorous work of the
threshing crew. The fire was started
by a spark from a threshing machine
engine. The fire that raged for several
hours at Gladstone, threatened the park
and the Chautauqua buildings, was ex
tinguished after several hours of hard
fighting in which the major part of the
population of that suburb participated.

Might Have Been a Hold-Up
While returning from a trip to Cane-
mah late Saturday evening where he had
been delivering laundry, Carl Nehren
considers that he narrowly escaped be-
ng held up, and attributes the fact that
he was not largely to the fleetness of the
horse that he was driving. Carl drives
the delivery wagon for the Cascade
Laundry and in the making of deliver
ies on Saturdays is supposed to make
some collections which is though to have
prompted the stranger to intercept him.
While driving down the plank road, a
man jumped from beneath the railroad
trestle and commanded young Nehren to
top but instead of doing so the lad ap
plied the whip to the animal he was driv
ing and, dashing by the unwelcome ac
quaintance was soon out of danger. Carl
has had a great fondness for Canemah
for some time, but his experience of
Saturday night is apt to cause the young
man to confine his visitations to such
hours as street cars are available.
Are Opposed to Fusion
At a mass meeting of the Socialists of
Clackamas county held at Knapp's hall
in this city Sunday afternoon, the mem
bers of that organization by unanimous
vote sustained the action of the execu
tive committee of the national organiza
tion in causing the expulsion of Victor
L. Berger, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who
was charged with advocating fusion. It
is charged against Berger that at a recent
municipal election at Milwaukee he.
while serving as precinct committeeman
for the Socialists, suggested and worked
for a consolidation of the Socialists and
the Democrats to the end that the Re
publican nominee for municipal judge
might be defeated. The fact that the
Democratic candidate was a strong anti-
Socialist man only the more incensed the
members of the party with the action of
Berger. The unanimity of sentiment on
the question that was disclosed at Sun
day's meeting, does not indicate any
probability of a fusion of the Socialists
in this county with any other political
organization.

FIRST SHOT FIRED.
Linn County to Make Test of Local Op
tion Law. .
Since local option went into effect Jan
uary 1st, last, many have watched its
workings with interest. Clubs were or
ganized and maintained at several points
in Oregon under the state law. One of
these existed in Lebanon and, as stated
in the last iss.ue of the Gazette, the place
was raided recently by Linn county au
thorities Regarding the matter the Al
bany Herald of Wednesday has the fol
lowing: The prosecutions under the local option
law have commenced. Yesterday after
noon Gale S. Hill, deputy district attor
ney for Linn county, filed a complaint
in Justice of the Peace W. S. Kisley's
Dourt, charging Andrew Jennings, of Leb
mon, with a violation of the local op
tion law by selling a glass of beer to
George Rayln the club rooms in Leban
on. Last evening Mr. Jennings came to
this city and was nominally placed under
arrest, and he will appear in court to
day and plead to, the charge.
Jennings, with his brother, was form
erly in the saloon business in Lebanon,
and when the precinct in which the sa
loon was located went dry. at the local
option election, and the city council of
Lebanon declined to grant a license in
the precUds in which the local' option
2id not carry, for the reason that it was
the residence district of the town, the
irm was temporarily out of business.
Some time ago Jennings was charged
with selling liquor in violation of the lo
cal option law. and to this he at that
time pleaded guilty and was fined. Since
that time the Lebanon Social an3 . Ath
letic Club was organized, and the "head
quarters of the organization are in the
building formerly occupied by the Jen
nings Brothers for a saloon. This was
the place raided last Saturday night by
the sheriff under a proceeding brought
for the purpose -of securing evidence of
the violation of the law, and the case
brought In the justice court yesterday
afternoon is the result.
The purpose is to test the local option
law and the legality of clubs, such as
Mr. Hill stated that this was but one of
a series of cases that would be brought
as the result of the raid on the Lebanon
club, and that violators of the local op
tion law, if they could be proved to be
violators, would be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
A club similar to the one in Lebanon
is running In Corvallis, and it is stated
that the authorities in Benton county
are eagerly watching the outcome of the
case in Linn county, for if it is found
that the courts will uphold- the officers
in their attempts to suppress such clubs,
steps will be taken immediately to put a
stop to the operations of the Corvallis
club. Gazette.

Mrs. Vm. Rainwater, residing at 903

"My kidneys troubled me off and on
for eight years. Every time I contracted
a cold it settled in my kidneys causing
my back to ache often so badly that I
could hardly get about to attend to my
household duties. Accompanying this
was a very annoying difficulty with the
kidney secretions. I was treated by
physicians, and took a number of high
ly recommended remedies -but the relief
I obtained was only temporary and I
was about discouraged. Finally I read an
advertisement about Doan's Kidney Pills
and got a box and began their use. I
expected some relief, of course, but to
my surprise they went quickly to the
root of the disease and cured me. I have
recommended them to a number of my
neighbors."

GENERAL SUMMARY.
No precipitation of consequence oc
curred throughout the State during the
last week and all late crops with the ex
ception of corn and hops, are In need of
a good soaking rain. Light forst occur
red Thursday morning on some of the
bottom lands In Southern Oregon, but
no damage resulted therefrom.
Thrashing is practically completed in
Western Oregon, while east of the Cas
cade Mountains this work continues un
der fardxabie circumstances. The yield
of both wftsat and barley continues good
in the Columbia and Grande Ronde Val
leys, but in the Wilamette "Valley and
Southern Oregon, the grain yields were
generally below the average.
Hops made satisfactory advancement
and the crop Is about ready for harvest
ing; picking will become general by the
first of next week.. The vines are free
of vermin and It is expected the quality
will be good. Corn Is doing nicely and
a large crop is promised. Field onions
are being pulled. Late potatoes and
gardens are doing poorly owing to lack
of rain.
Pears and prunes are ripe and being
gathered. Pears are abundant, but the
prunes will average about half a full
crop. Apples are small in size and In
well kept orchards an average crop will
be harvested.
Stock on the ranges continue in fair
ly good condition; in the dairy districts
cattle are losing ffesh and there Is a
marked falling off in the milk supply.
