Rural Northwest of 1'ortlaud: While at Eugene attending tbe meeting of the Oregon fckate Horti cultural .Society, the writer had tbe pleasure ol visiting the garden of Mr V W Cooli Ije in thatcity. Mr Coolidge has sold the noted experi mental orchaid in which he did so much Interesting and valuable work, and is now engaged in busi ness in Eugene. His passion for horticulture hat not left him, how ever, and tbe spacious grounds about his residence are a most in teresting place to anyone who is interested iu fruits and flowers. Loganberries, to the merits of which Mr Coolidge has done inuuh to call attention, were in full fruit and tbe amount of fruit which they mature is beyond coin prehension by those who have not seen the vines loaded as they were in Mr Coolidge's garden. The berries are not different in sue and form from blackberries but in color and flavor arc more like red raspberries, with also a strong suggestion of our wild blackberry which is in fact a dew berry. They are too soft for market but are excellent for dessert with sugar and cream, and when canned re considered by Mr and Mrs Coolidge to be lully eijual to wild blackberries which aro generally preferred ti all other small fruits. Mr Coolidge takes special pride in his American chestnut trees. In his original experimental orchard he grew, from nu's, trees which hear early and heavily. From these ho has propagated a large nu.nlier of young trees and those are begin ning to bear. Hu is unnule to nndorsiand why American chesl nuU are not more extensively grown in Oregon as the trees grow Very rapidly and ho hti found no trouble as to thoir bearing. nor sriuYi.Nu. Hop grocrs who have not al ready sprayed their vinos liaeo no time to lose, says the Rural North west. Lico aro reported to be numerous in nearly all the yard's Every day' neglect now will do its share in lowering the quality of the coming crop. Vines whose vitality is lowered by the work of the li cannot yield hops of tho best quality. Oregon -produced alto gother too many trashy hopB last yeir and tho reputation of Oregon hops has Kuflercd severely. Wo can not afford to sond a lot of low-grade hops to market again this year. We do not kno of any place wheie hops are grown oxl-nni voly fir market where it is not necessary to fight 11 )i. The pest has thoroughly established itself hero and growers must either fight it or go out of the business of growing hop. WHAT IS THE FASCINATION 1 The poet tellt of a foul murder by the fictitious Eugene Aram. He covers the victim with leaves and deserts the ghastly object lying still' nd stark securely hidden, as he thinks, from the gate oi man. Impelled by some horrible ir resistible fasoination he returns to the s.-ene ot the murder and behold I the winds of heaven have scattered tha leafy covering, and exposed the body to sight. The murderer carefully removes the tolltale object, secures woights to it, then seeks the aid of a neigh boring pond in which to hide the mule evidenco of his crime. After a lime he is again drawn, as if by a chain of iron, to look upon the soene where the body reposes. The waters have dried up, and again a senseless corpse apjieals for justice against the murderer, A stern minion of the law marches the offender against man and 0(h1 to the prison where he pays the penalty of his crime. Was it that same feeling of , un rest, perhaps a tascination, that held Claude Drantoa to the vioinity of the murder, where he is well known, when he might have effect ually covered his tracks and escaped to aorue far country? ARYAN ON IMMORTALITY. The Allowing tribute to the soul's immortality by W J Iiryan is a part of an eulogy on the death of a friend. It is a Kern, and is fit to adorn your scrap book: "If the Father deigns to touch with divine power tb) cold and pulseless heart of the buried acorn, and make it burnt forth from its prison walls, will he leave negligent the soul of man who was made in the image of his Creator? If lie sloops to give the rose bush, whose withered blossoaiB float upon the autumn breeze, the sweet assurance of another spring time, will He with -hold the words of hope from the soul of man w hen the frusta of winter come? If matter, mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of nature into multitude ot forms, can never die, will the spirit of man suffer annihilation after it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest, to this tenement of clay? Rather let us belieye that He who in his apparent prodigality wastes not the rain drop, the blade of grata or the evening's singing zephyr, but make them all to carry out His eternal plans, has given im mortality to the moral, and gatb ered to Himself the generous spirit of our friend." "OLD GLORY " Charles Bnmner's tribute to the Stars and Stripes is good and ap propriate reading just now: "Here is the National ilagl He must be cold in Jeed, who can look upon its folds rippling in the breeze without pride of country. It is a piece of bunting lifted in the air, but it speaks sublimely, and every part has a voice. Its stripes of ultornate red and white" proclaim tbe original union of the thirteen states to maintain the Declaration of Independence. Its stars of white on a field of blue, proclaim that union of states constituting our national constellation, which re ceives a new star with every state. The two together signify union, past and present. The very colors have a language, which wo rec ognized by our fathers. Whiieis for purity; red for valor; blue for justice; and all together, bunting, stripes, Btars and color, blazing in the sky, make the ling ot our country t.j he cherished by all our heirts, to bo upheld by all our hands."

Dawson is crowded by a population of nearly 30.0 X) people, and 10 or L'O men are looking for work to one Job that Is opeu. When we left Dawson real estate value bad fallen very low and the wind was being knocked out of the boom. Ouly the best profiles will sustain the strain, and the collapse serves to eliminate the wildcat to lame extent Irom the market." Timiiek Land Locator.
