. Close "Wednesday.
SALEM, Or., June 24. The annual con
vention of the "Willamette Baptist Asso
ciation opened in this city this evening
with about 100 delegates present More
Bre expected tomorrow. The sessions are
presided over by Rev. E. "M. Bliss, of
Portland. The annual sermon -was preach
ed by Ray Palmer, of Portland.
The speaker took as his subject the
"Golden Kingdom," referred to in the
second chapter of Kings. 44th verse, de
scribing the vision of the man of various
component parts. In discussing this
golden kingdom of Christ he said that It
Is of divine origin, that its laws are
spiritual and that It Is unlveisal In ex
tent. Its divine origin Is evidenced less
by the miracles observed by the men of
Christ's time than by the miracle of the
Inner man, which nb necromancer or
trickster can imitate. Since this king
dom Is governed by spiritual laws, it can
be neither advanced nor retarded, by
physical force. Failure "to appreciate this
has caused the churches to attempt to
Christianize by force, but the results ob
tained were no more than a farce. In
Its extent the kingdom is universal and
trill fill the whole world. In order to
hasten the coming of Christ's '.kingdom
anen who profess to be Christians must
lead holy lives seven days In the week.

SALEM, Or., June 24. Company F,

encampment this evening. At this meet
ing of the company the orders were read
directing the company to go to Eugene
Thursday, June 27, to participate in the
encampment of the Fourth Regiment, un
der command of Colonel Yoran. It Is
Earned that the camp will be known as
"Camp Beebe," that name having been
given It by the Colonel commanding.
Company F, under command of Cap
tain Walter Lyon, has been recruited to
the full number allowed by the military
regulations, 65 men, and has been drilled
until it hopes to prove Itself the best
all-around company in the regiment. The
armory on the third floor of the city
hall is an excellent place for drill, and
the company has been out a number of
times for drill on the streets. Interest
In the progress of the company has been
kept up by regular meetings, and by so
cial functions aided by the Salem military
band. The company band will not attend
the encampment as the regimental band
is located at Eugene.
Company F will leave Salem for regi
mental headquarters at Eugene on the
11 o'clock train, Thursday, June 27. As
the company will not arrive at Eugene
until 2 P. M., Captain Lyon has been di
rected by Captain C. B. Winn, Commis
sary of Subsistence to allow each en
listed man a one-third travel ration for
lunch on that day.
The regular quarterly inspection of all
companies of the Fourth Regiment will
take place Wednesday evening, June 26,
at 8:15 P. M., when all members of the
guard are required to assemble, in reg
ular uniform.
All members of Colonel Yoran's staff
and the Fourth Regiment band have been
ordered to report at the Armory In Eu
gene, Thursday, June 27, at 1 P. M. The
staff will report to the Colonel mounted,
while the non-commissioned staff and
band will report to Adjutant D. E. Yo
ran. Corporal W. W. Branstetter, of
Company A, of Eugene, has been detailed
to act a drum major of the Fourth Reg
iment band.
At the Irregular meeting tonight the
members of Company F were surprised
by a crowd of their lady friends who ap
peared unexpectedly and presented the
company with a large American flag. Mrs.
Scoville presented the flag in a few well
chosen words to the company, which she
trusted would be the banner military or
ganization of Oregon. Th company gave
three cheers for the ladles and three
cheers for the flag, after which Captain
Lyon, In accepting the flag, said that it
was too sacred an emblem to be received
in jest; that the gift was highly appreci
ated; that the flag would be carried to
the encampment and return at the head of
the company, and tenderly cared for as
Uthelr most highly prized treasure. Should
the company ever be called upon to de
fend the Stars and Stripes, the spirit ex
hibited by those who donated this beau
tiful emblem would be an added inspira
tion to every one of its members.
PEAS WILL BE PROFITABLE.
Farmers Near Salem Hnve Acres
Good Stravrberry Prices.
SALEM, Or., June 24. A local packing
company today received Its first load of
peas, and will begin canning that vegeta
ble' tomorrow. Farmers of this vicinity
planted 150 acres In peas this year, and
the venture will be profitable.
Strawberries are now scarce for can
ning purposes, and only a few hundred
cases more will be put up. The entire
pack of strawberries this year will reach
nearly 2000 cases, or more than three
times the amount -put In tins last season.
The effect of the cannery upon the price
of strawberries In the local market has
been very marked. The lowest price for
good fresh berries at retail was 6 boxes
for 25 cents, or 85 cents per crate. A few
berries, not of the best quality, were sold
cheaper t than this. Farmers have. In
years past, left their berries on the vines,
because the fruit could not be sold at a
price that would pay for the boxes and
picking. This year a man could sell all
he had at a fair price.
A few cherries have been received at
the cannery, and thus far it appears that
the rains have done no Injury.

Sung was found dead In bed yesterday
morning. He went to bed, so hlB country
men say, in his usual health the night
before. No inquest was held over the

DAWSON IS STIRRED UP
BY A SENSATIONAL MURDER
TRIAL.
George O'Brien, Charged With Hav
ing Killed Three Men Prosecu
tion Will Cost Over 910O,0O0.
DAWSON. June 14. The trial of George
O'Brien, who Is charged with the murder
of Lynn E. Wallace Relfe and Fred H.
Clayson, both of Seattle, and Ole Olson, a
Dawson-Skagway telegraph lineman,
Christmas day, 1899, on the Winter trail
near Minto, south of Dawson, Is the most
absorbing and sensational ever held In
the north.
Some idea of the magnitude of the cafie
as prosecuted by the government -may be
gathered from the fact that the esti
mated cost already of the prosecution is
more than $100,000. Eighty witnesses have
been gathered here by the crown from
all parts of the Yukon and from the
States and Lower Canada. Captain
Scarth, of the Northwest mounted police,
who has conducted the search for wit
nesses and evidence for 18 months, has
left hot the slightest clew negleoted, and
thousands after thousands of miles have
been traversed In the Yukon and on the
outside by his big corps of assistants,
notable among them Detective McGuire,
of Chicago.
The work of searching for O'Brien's
supposed accomplices and of gathering
clews to evidence. has entailed the most
extraordinary detective work ever done
in the north. Much was done in the dead
of the Arctic Winter. Men have trailed
the supposed accomplices the full length
of the Yukon, up tributary streams of the
river, and perhaps to points beyond not
yet made public. Some of the special
detectives went down the Yukon and out
by way of Nome and Seattle last Fall.
WILL BE SHIPPED OUT.

Llppy, to Seattle; Frank Bromley, to Aus
tralia. The body of an unknown, man was found
In the Yukon several days ago, 18 miles
below Forty-Mile, and turned over to the
police. It evidently had been" in the water
a long time. Decomposition was so far
advanced that the body could not be Iden
tified. Andrew Lee, 26 vears of age, of Decorah,
la., formerly from Norway, where his
parents reside, was swept from a raft
Into the Klondike by an overhanging tree
this week while making a wild ride down
the stream with another man, and was
drowned. The body was not found. He
has over $300 due him as wages. The ad
ministrator has the case in charge.

Cultivation of Pranes.
OREGON CITY, June 24. That it pays
carefully to cultivate a prune orchard is
the experience of Matt Clemens, who lives
4 miles south of Oregon City, In New Era.
precinct. He purchased the place three
years ago. and has thoroughly cultivated
his young orchard, consisting of1500 Ital
ian prune trees. He built a new drier
last year, and sold 9000 pounds of the
dried product at 6 cents per .pound, deliv
ered at the New Era railroad depot, the
buyers furnishing sacks. The dried
prunes averaged 32 to the pound.
This year Mr. Clemens expects to have
60,000 pounds of prunes, and will double
the capacity of his drier. He avers that
whitewash Is a great fertilizer, as it goes
to the roots when washed off the trees
by the rains. He uses a disc harrow
drawn by four horses. The trees are kept
carefull trimmed. In July, if the fruit
is so crowded on the tree as to retard
uniformly large development, it Is thinned
out. The orchard is on land about 500
feet above the Willamette River, and the
heavy fog from the water prevents Injury
by Spring frosts. Other fruit-growers in
that section are now trying the plan of
whitewashing fruit trees, and are paying
more atteutiou to cultivation and trim
ming. Rock for County Road.

to furnish the crusher and deliver the
rock from the starting point of the road
to Olney for 12.50 per yard, or If the

HE THUS MAKES APPEARANCE BY
PROXY.
Defendants Are Allowe'd Until Sep
tember 1 to Answer Complaint
of the State.
SALEM, Or.. June 24. George W. Davis,
the defaulting clerk of the State School
Land Board, has made an appearance by
attorney, in the case brought against
him and His bondsmen to recover the
amount of hjs official, bond. This ap
pearance is sufficient to give the court
jurisdiction over him In this case. After
the complaint had been filed, Attorney
General Blackburn entered Into a stipu
lation with George G. Bingham and E.
P. McCornack, whereby all the defen
dants are allowed until September 1 to
answer the complaint.
The stipulation was signed by McCor
nack and Bingham, as attorneys for the
defendants, and in answer to an inquiry
tqday. Mr. Bingham said that he is at
torney for Mr. Davis. The extension of
time to September 1, will not effect a
delay as there .will not be another term
of department No. 1 of the Circuit
Court until the second Monday in Octo
ber. So far as can be learned, n6 one In
Salem, except perhaps the members of
his own family, has any knowledge of the
whereabouts of Mr. Davis.
REPORT IS A HOAX.
No Foundation for the Story of a
Rich Placer Discovery.
OWYHEE, Or.. June 24. A reported gold
strike in 'very rich placer ground In a
shaft sunk near the Snake River, at a
point? known as tho Big Bend, a few miles
west of Palmer, Idaho, has caused a big
rush of locators thither, and the country
is staked In leo-acref tracts for a distance
of 10 miles from the discovery shaft.
The report, however, In all probability
is a hoax. The values in the shaft can
not be verified, as It? is nearly filled with
water, and has not been worked for many
months, and the material taken from It
was dumped into the Snake River, mere
ly enough being retained to make tests.
The material Js a concrete gravel, very
hard and can only be treated In a smelter
or stamp mill. But one shaft has been
sunk, and from It no Idea can be had of
the trend or extent of the deposit. The
shaft Is an extremely wet one, and ex
pensive machinery Is necessary for sink
ing purposes.
The ground is owned by the Singer Com
pany, a wealthy corporation, and If the
development should pay values, the ground
would undoubtedly be worked and the
values secured for the stockholders.
This section is also worked up to some
extent over reported discoveries of oil,
gas and coal. From a personal Inspec
tion of the field, the correspondent may
say that neither oil nor gas has been
found. At Carter, a postofflce on Carter
Creek, In township 2$ south, range 46
east a stratum of slaty materia' carry
ing a small per cent of coal has been un
covered at a depth of 13 feet. Also on the
ranch of Otto Giese, oil Lower- Succor
Creek, 40 miles south of Ontario, a similar
deposit can be seen.
This Is an extensive district, 'about 60
miles long; and of varying width. Where
the formation Is sandstone, there Is some
gray and brown shale and slate, which is
favorable for oil, gas and coal, but It
will be necessary to go deep to find the
deposits.
VALE, Or.. June 24. All reports of a
rich gold find In the big bend of the Snake
turn out to be untrue. A number bt old
miners Just in from the field are a unit
in saying that nothing new has been
found. The 87-foot shaft spoken of Ib
half full of wafer, and nothing has been
taken out of It for months. The gold
found In this shaft Is flour gold, but it Ms
reported as coarse. Charles B. Lyon,
superintendent of the Midland, says that
the report of'the rich And is entirely with
out foundation. Locators with wagon
loads of stakes went In from Ontario and
staked off almost the whole country.
ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
Three Men Suspected of Having
Stolen Purse Containing $105.
OREGON CITY, June 24. Two men em
ployed on a wood scow were bound over
in the Justice Court this afternoon on a
charge of larceny of a purse containing
1105 from A. H. Grlessen's saloon, last
night. They gave their names as J. N.
Ward and E. S. Conger. A third man,
named Lawrence, also employed on the
wood scow, was arrested on a charge of
drunkenness this afternoon, and-Is sus
pected of being Implicated In the theft.
The three men were In the saloon at a
late hour last night, and Grlessen cashed
a check for one of the men, taking the
purse from the cash register to make
change. He laid the purse under the bar
while he went Into a rear room to All an
order for some sandwiches, and when he
returned the money was gone. Lawrence
loft the house flrst, and the other two
men went out Immediately after order
ing refreshments. Night Officer Shaw
was notified, and, with the assistance of
Ed Rechner, arrested two of the men,
but were unable to locate Lawrence. As
none of the men arrested had the money
on their persons. It may be difficult to
secure a conviction.

When there ia a natural and healthy circulation of the blood, the entire
qnantity, estimated at one-eighth the weight of the body, passes through the heart
eery five minutes. This rapid flow of the blood through the system prevents the
entrance of disease germs ana impurities of every description. It filters out all that
is not necessary or good for the growth and development of the body and nourish
ing and strengthening the muscles, tissues, nerves and bones. But, unfortunately,
few persons can rightly claim an 'absolutely pure blood supply and perfect and
unpolluted circulation, and in consequence nre exposed to innumerable diseases.

evidence some constitutional or blood trouble, which salves, lotions, powders noi

they manifest themselves as ulcers, tumors, itching- eruptions, muscular oibone
