I mercury has not been over 100 degrees in the shade, much oi the time it has been 1 102 to 104 degrees. Yesterday was the hot- test day I ever saw, at least &3 indicatad J by a thermometer, for it marked 110 '- degrees at 3 p. m . -For all the excessive heat the Indians - were out in their fields haying and cut- ting grain. The hay crop from seed sown in the fall is uuisually good, since " there was a more ordinary r.unfall dur ing tbeyinter and spring. " Rev.T. A. Speer has moved nearly all his furniture etc. from Simnasho to the -agency, and will likely be fully moved shy Saturday. It is to be regretted that -'the new missionary appointed from iMonuiouth, Ills , is not here to take im imediate charge. There is really more meed of missionary work among the Warm Spring's tribe, living at pi near Simnasho, than the Wasco, renins and Pi'jxte tribes located near the agency. The new agent, Major Peter Gallagher "a civilian, appointed from Pocatello, Idaho, took euarge June 13 last, lie is a reliir- ious man, a member of the Methodist ii church, lie has unfortunately been too ill most of the time to direct the bnsi- 1 ness affairs of tba agency. He was in a I very critical condition nearly two weeks J ao, but though not out of danger, is I much better, tie came alone, as his wife I died some years ago, and his children J are all grown up. In response to a tele- - gram sent to Pocatello his oldest son and - daughter arrived here last Saturday night 1 about 12o'clock, haviri left The "Dalles, 75 miles distant, that morning. The son 1 returned Taesday, leaving his sister to care, for her father until ue recovcis, as i aairnoet I t? hnnul Inr Wore on the new school bunding has been delayed on account of some defects in the contractors papers.

Dyson, of Biownsville, has a two column article in todays Ore gonian, mostly relating to a visit with If. L. llotchkiss. Referring to the San tiam mines he says : "So far $120,000 in gold has been spent in the Santiam, and the ledges are just beginning to get fairly prospected enough to begin toshow their value, and the deeper the workings the better the ore gets. So the all-important questisn as to whether the ledges in the Cascade range go down or not is fully settled, and wa now look for all the camps from the Clackamas on the north to the Bohemia district on the south, to take on new life from this time forward." Among other things Mr. 1 lot -h kiss saidtobim: "Why" said Mr. Hotcli-' kiss, "look at the timber here. I thought I had seen some fine timber in Michi gan and Wisconsin, but I find that when. 1 come to see the timber m Oregon' ami astungton 1 come to the run elusion that I know nothing about tim- Qpp SI Oil This is far ahead of anvthing i nave ever seen in my Iile before. Then vour hops grow healthier andlarcer thsn iu the east, where I live, and vour grain excels ours both in reality and quantity ; your saimon nsnenes are superior to any thing in the world, and when it comes to frnir, what shall sav?" and he paused for a reply, and then taking up the thread of his conversation again, he said : "And your mineral wealth is, as yet, I might say, almost untouched. I 'have just re turned from the Santiam mines in this county, and it is truly wonderful to see the amount of gold ore in sight up there, and I learn that vou have a new mining district called, 1 believe, Ulue river, that is just beginning to develop. Mr. Law ler tells me of a mine there called the Lucky Boy, that for the amount of workl done far excels anything in the Santiam district." Drowned Near Lebanon. Jos. Kibler, a son of Mr. Eb. Kibler, residing this side of Lebanon, near the Santiam, was in bathing yesterday op posite the Moist .farm, 'when he got caught in a whirlpool, strangled and went down. His companions, who were with him, made every effort possible to rescue him. but without success. His body was recovered and the funeral ser vices took place today. The deceased was a young man about 20 year of age and ha a good many friends who will mourn bis death. AH the young men are reported to have been poor swimmers Kibler was afraid ot tb water and his companions are said to have jokingly dragged him iuto the river, which is twenty or thirty feet deep only a few feet from" the shore". He strangled and they wrre unable to help him out. Mr. Cas.le, a former Crook county stock man, now of San Jose, Calif., was in the city today. Mr. F. O. Breckenridge, wiie and child, of Portland, have been in the city on a visit. X. M. Newport and wife went to New port today for an outing. Newport is now a great attraction. The Misses Crawford of Pundleton, formerly of Halsey, have been in the city the guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Acheson. Mrs. C. R.

No decision has been rendered vet in the case of the protest against the Albany Coltsj A diopatch of inquiry was received today, and it is continently expected me result will be in favor of the Colts. At a meeting of the city couucil S aturday evening it was decided that the city would furnuh and lay the pipes and the ditch company will do the filling in of dirt on the ditches on Feiry, Brcadalbin and Lfon streets. The appearance of that old construction Eugene on the O. O. & E, probablr doesn't mean anything. It gives us something to talk about though in a satisfactory manner, for everybody would like to tee some con structing eastward done. Ascesdeij Mt. Hood. Messrs A. AI Grilley, C- Woodin, and U. t..

Yesterday morning, about 9 o'clock, I took my customary walk to the mineral springs. On my way thither, I saw five conveyances on their way to Wateiloo. Many others had gone ahead of those, and a few followed. A greater numVr had gone by another route, if it is proper to judge from the ciowd that returned in the evening by way of Sodaville. But why did so many bo to Waterloo in violation ol the command: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy? I sup pose the majority of them went because the Waterlooilos" had sent abroad circu lars that a man would go up in a bal loon and come down under a parachute, that some "ladies" would walk u walk ing match, and that boys and men would take part in other desecrations of the sacred day. According to the previous announce ment, t lie Free Methodists were holding camp meeting in bodaville. At the morning service there was a good con gregation but no crowd. Some o: the citizens and visitors had gone with the crowd to Waterioo. Whether they were professing christians or not, I do not know, but 1 do know that there were members of thechurch among those who returned by ay of sodavdle. I wa surprised when some of them were named and was reluctant to believe that such wat the case, but 1 am sorry to say that there is no room for. doubt. Per haps they had not seen the circulars or the advertisements in the papers and did not know what kind of a place Waterloo is on Sabbath. But even under such circumstances I cannot see how, with a quiet conscience, professing christians can desert the place of worship and spend the day in driving fifteen or twenty miles to a little one horse town for mere pleasure. If a Free Methodist had come that distance to attend camp meeting, I would not have been surprised and griev ed, or if any other one had come to So daville to attend the meeting and get a refreshing and health-giving drinfc of mineral water, I would not have thought straiige of it. Sodaville is a quiet, Sab bath keeping town. It has no saloon, no Sunday balloon ascensions, no horse racing, no woman walking matches, no other open violations of the Lord's day. If the citizens and visitors are not in at tendance on the services of one of the three churches, they are at home, or are sitting quietly in or" about the building at the spring or ai e taking a stroll around the town or in the surrounding country. And unless a great change takes place, the town council and the citizens will not be held responsible for being the means of causing hundred of people to deseertte the Sabbath. For this reason I belie.-e Sodaville u a summer resort worthy of the patronage of christian people, who wish to take an outirg with their families w here their children will not be exposed to the pernicious and soul-destroying influences of some of the more popular places of resort. I msy be considered an old fogy or even a crank, but nevertheless I will venture the as sertion, that it is far better for the young never to take an outing than to be ex posed to the influences of some watering places not a thousand miles away.

Eikins, our hardward merchant, as a county commissioner to 511 the va cancy caused by the death of Charles Requa. Mr. Elkins is one of our most prosperous business men of our city and we think the county court did a wis act in appointing hiin to fill the vacancy in their board.

Fritz, fetation A, St LouisJ Mo . would cive an elegant plated hook spoon to anyone sending her ten 2 cent siampp. I eent for one and found it so useful tli at 1 showed it to my menus, and made $13-00 in two hours, taking orders tor the spoon. The honk spoon is a household necessity. It cennot slip into the dish or cooking wsat-!, being held in the place by a hook on the baik. The spoon is something that house keepers pave needed ever since spoons were first invented. Anyone can get a sample spoon by sending ten 2 cent stamps to Miss fritz, this is a splendid way to make money around home. Very truly, Jeax.nkttb S. A Chance to Make Money I have berries, grapes and peaches, a vear old, fresh as when picked. I use the California Cold process, do not heat or seal thi fruit, just put it up cold, keeps perfectly fresh, and costs almost nothing; can put up a bushel in ten minutes. Last week I sold directions to over 120 families; anyone will pay a dol lar for directions, when they see the beautiful samples of fruit. As there are many people poor like myself, I consider it my duty to give my experience to such and feel confident any one can make one or two hundred dollars round home in a few days. I will mail sample of fruit and complete directions, to any of your readers, for eighteen two-cent stamps, which is only the actual cost of the samples, postage, etc., to me.

The Labor Exchange hos taken hold of tho matter. A correspondent in the States man says : "The preliminary survey has been made by the Labor .exchange lor a motor lino from Salem to Mill City by way of Fruitland, Bethel, Macleay, Shaw, Aumsville, Stayton, Mehamaand Lyons, with a view of finally reaching the OuarUville mines s soon os possible. Ihe members of tho exchango will re ceive checks for the balance due them. In due time we will ask the citizens of Salem to ionn us $25,000 to put cn the iron and roll stock, the same to be paid back in traffic over the line of road at 20 per cent, each year, for live years. Said $25,000 to he paid to the labor exchange as follows: $10,000 when the road is built to Macleay, $5,000 more when built to Aumsville, $5,000 when built to Stay ton and $5,000 when built to Mehama, provided the property holders in North Salem, Highland, Fruillami, Macleay, Shaw, Aumsville, Stayton, Mehama, Lyons and South Mill City dontate cer tain amount of lots upon which to make homes for tho members of the labor ex change.

The fluttering prospects which prevailed up to Julv 1 have dis appeared and now the conditions are not even encouraging. The delay in fall and winter sowing caused much grain to be sown in May and the fore part of June; this will not make good hay; fall and winter-sown grain w ill be " nearly an average ; oats are generally poor. The grain crop is beyond the period w hen it wovld be benefitted by rain. Wheat harvest w as commenced last week in j ; the southern counties, and will be gen eral this week throughout the Willam ette valley. Hay harvest is about over, and the crop has been go"d. Hops are In bloom; in those yards where they w t re well attended they are in good con dition. The hop product will not be an average tins year, owing to the low price and so many yards having been plowed up, and many, too, not having been worted. There is no change iu the fruit pros pects.

He has mado frequent raids on the ranches in that vicinity, carrying away sheep, hogs, etc. He has always managed to elude tho cliaso of the hunter and owing to his many attacks on the sheep of the ranch ers, had come to bo known as the terror of the neighborhood. Saturday night bruin killed bo von sheep for W. Workman, who Ifvee near Isabel. rot snttsned with the Killing ot the previous night or becoming reckless at his success.his bearship threw aside all caution and descended from his retreat on Cache Creek mountain to the valley in broad duy light yesteiduy morning and attacked a couple of hos . The hogs set up a terrible squealing and W. Workman and C. Arnold hurried to the rescue with several dogs. Mr. Workman secured a shot at bruin but failed to hit his mark. His bearship made for tho wilds of Ids home on Cache Creek mountain, where he was finally treed by the dogs. The hunt ers followed up and a bullet from Mr. Arnold's rifle brought bruin to the ground, oadly wounded but still iu fighting trim. The dngs closed in on him and in the scrimmage that ensued one was killed. Pogs and bear were so badly mixed that the hunters dared not shoot for fear of killing the former. Once when Mr. Ar nold got a little too near, bruin reached out aud with one affectionate stroke of his paw divested the gentleman oi his pataloons. After eight shots hid beeu rlred, the bear was finally laid out. He dressed 500 pounds. Eugene Guard. The last rain fell on June 10. Mr. I. I.

The Albany Colta and their friends were very jabilant flast night. The following dispatch received by Mr. Eafua Oram, the Albany correspondent and representative of the Examiner, was the cause of it : Sas Fa-Ascisco, July 21. The Flem minz protest has been decided in favor of Hemming on the personal declaration of bis mother to the Examiner's repre sentative at Wilmerding. Pennsylvania. The date of bis birth being March 2, 18TV This settles the matter for good. The result will be very humiliating to the Portland players, who took sach an un fair coarse to keep the Colts oat of the contest, using representation- that were easily understood whea properly explained. The coarse of certain Port land people in the matter Las been dis creditable. The trouble taken by the Examiner and iu correspondents to get tne truth has been very commendabie. Two or three more games are to be played in Washington, whea Albany will play the champions of that state, and the Draw believes will represent the northwest in the final games. It takes money to play thee prelim inary game a odour basineea men should see the lor throogh- Should the Colts in from Washington their entire ex penses would be paid from the time they left Albany rn the San Francisco trip.

The cream is frozen instantly and is smooth and free (rem lumps. I have done so well mv self and have friends succeeding so well that 1 felt it my duty to let others know of the opportunity, as I feel confident that any person in any locality can make money, as any person can sell cream and the freeier sells itself.
