Intercut, has been aroused by tbe appointment of perjons to guard the Cascud J forest from fires, ami the following will give the inforna tlon on that subject: Tbe circular of instructions to forest rangers of the general land office issued by Commissioner Her man a is uh follows: "It will be the primary duty of brest rangers to patrol thi different forest reserves for tbo purpose of preventing and extinguishing forest fires, preventing limber trespass, and trrspass by stockmen in re serves where grazing is prohibited, Where grazing is permitted u.ider prescribed restrictions, it will bo their duty to sea bi the enforcement of regulations. "Where sales ol limb' r are made, it will he the duly of tin forest rangers to mar tho tim'jer to be cut and superintend its cutting. "Every f irest rang'-r will hi as signed to u re-erye, and will work under the immediate supervision of a forest supervisor. "lie will make his headquarters at some elevated central point in the reserve overlooking tho ter ritory assigned to him. This point will be designated by the supervisor in charge of tho reserve. "lie will be required to provide himself will) a sad Ue-borse, the cost of maintenance of which will not bo chargeable to the govern ment; also, wheio necessary, he will provide, at his own expense, a camp outfit lor line while on duty in tho roserve. "lie will ho expected to th 'trough ly fuiuiliurizj himself with the topography of the territory to which ho is assigned, and with all road) and trails leading through it. Where necessary he will blaze trails from point to point in the re serve, and, where practicable, he will cut fire-breaks and burn brush, at daagerous points, to prevent tho sproad of forest fires. "Whero the lines ot reserve have been surveyed, forest rangers will sec tlut the marks of survey aro not obliterated, and keep the lines at all times plainly marked. Special instructions will be givon forest rangers from time to timo by tho supervisors in charge, and rAngors will report direct to hem relative to matters assigned for investigation. They will also submit special reports rehitivo to all forest fires occuring in their territory, giving details as to the extent and origin of the fires, tho damage dono, and the means em ployed to extinguish thutn. "Whero cases of timber trespass come under their observation they will warn the trespasser to stop cutting, calling his attention to the ponalty prescribed for timber tres pass on forest reserves paragraph 1, circular of Juno 30, If 1)7, pre scribing rules and regulations gov erning forest reserves, and there upon immediately report tho tres pass direct to this ollice, giviiv? tho namo of tho trespasser and tho locality and extent of tho trespass, in order that tho matter may ho assigned to a special agent for in vestigation and report. "At tho end of each month every ranger will submit to the super vis r in chargo a general report of his operations for the month, lie will also submit, at the en 1 of each we:k, on tho blank lor.n provided for that purpose, a weekly report showing how ho has been etiga cd during tho week. "Tho teiritory assigned to each forest ranger will be limited in ex tent, nnd such that by strict atten tion to duty ho may eiercise a thorough supervision over it; and every forest ranger will be held to a strict accountability for all lorost lire or trespasses occurring in hit territory which could have been prevented by prompt action on his part." Hit EDWARDS El. KITED The recount of the ballots proved conclusively that a majority cf the i voters ol Line c Minty cist theii ballots on June C Lb, for II D KJwanU for county commissioner. Mr I'M wards is one of tbe staunch citizens of I,an county and every body knows him to l a first-class citizen in every particular. As is a well known fact the Cji ahi supported Mr W W Baugh man for the office, lie is one of the solid citizens ot the county. The recount shows that many mis takes ver made by the election officer', and this fully proves he h.vl good grounds in instituting tin contes'. Pendleton 12 O: Several years ago, when the Russian thistle was first discovered to have stuck its hot feet into Umatilla county toil, eomo gentleman interested went be fore the co-inty court and en deavored to get $100 to be used in rooting out tho accursed bramble. The e junty court said nay. It is now though', that it will require 110,000 to di wh tt could have been done at first with f 100, Henry F Tierce says ho le.Is a reluctance to go to the state legislature l ask for sn apimpriation which will seem ingly be sectional, in face of the refusal of the county court to make an appropriation, but still the money must core from someplace and the Russian thistle be eradicat ed within the next two years or it nillre juiro i limenso sums to do tho wrk, as well as time and an immense amount of energy. Strange as it may see a, there are numerous pe iplo in this state to think tho newly-elected state officers take their official positions immediately after election. Letters reached thecapitol daily addressed to' Governor T T (Jeer," "Secretary of State F I Dunbar," and so on through the list of officers-elect. These gentlemen will not be in charge of their respective pists un til tho first Monday in January next, and the new governor a few days after the legislature shall have convened and officially canvassed tin) gubernatorial vote. Coos I5ay New-: Miss Annie Fisher, who loft here abont two years ago to visit relatives in Ger many, writes occasionally fnoi Berlin to somo of her young friends in MarshficlJ. Miss Anna is a true American, and doesn't like the ad verso criticism of the (ierman papers, regarding the war. She lias hen for somo American, badges, and intends to we ir ths colors of Uncle Sam at all buzz mis. Corvallis Tunes: Rig crop stories aro now in order.

ANOTHER MANILA IM km Writes rMty of Hie Trip. A. tit: 1111.41 -iom.v. Manila, July 1, ISM. Dear Mother and Folks t Home: Last night at four o'clock we pulli-d In to Manila bay. Our trip from Hono lulu has been a verv eusy one. I l sick with the measels for two weeks and felt urettv had hut the lait ten days I have felt fine. Nothing of Interest happened until we came to the Inland of Guam where we expected to fight, but the Charles ton went Into the harbor, fired 13 shots and as there was no response from the fort she desisted. The governor of the Island came out in a boat to the Charleston to apologue lor not haviug any powder to return the salute for he thought that we were saluting him and ho elld not know that war existed between the United State and Spain. He was somewhat mrprised. but of course had to surrender the Island; and the governor and ins si .11 aim lour army ofllccrs and CI Spanish soldiers were brought on board the Sydney ami we have bail to guard tliein since. I have some Spanish bocks and I talk to the prisoners w henever I can. and I will soon bu able to talk Sp'ulsh. The morning that we arrived at Guam a young man named Hutchin son who had t een operated upon for appendleitus. died and that afternoon about live o'clock Chaplain Gilbert came on our boat and young Iluichiu sou was given a military burial at sen. His body was wrapped up and weight ed with irons and laid out on a board on toji of the American flig, and afttr a few Impressive ceremonies the board was tipped up and the body plunged into the water. Then a detail from his company "M" (lred the military sa lute over his last resting place and then we were dismissed. It made us all feel rather solemn. Nothing happened of Interest until we got into the China sea when we ran across the Haltimore, which was waiting for us. Wednesday and Wed nesday night we had a severe wind storm and a heavy sea and all most everyone was sick again. I had bt en wishing to see a storm at sea but I don't want any more. About thre-e o'clock yesterday we came to the entrance of the bay and all was excitement. About the entiauee to the bay was the German warships, and when we g3t up into the harbor, we could see warships of every coun try twelve or fifteen in all, but the sight that made one's puNo beat faster was Dewey's tleet lying around F'ort Cavlte, where we are to laud. All round are to be seeu tbe masts and smokestacks of the sunken iSpauish tleet and for 'he first lime we realize that we are in the immediate presi-nce of war. Manila, a beautiful city nil of white, lies oil to our left about seven miles and even now we can hear the cannon roar, for the Insurgents arid the Span ish light every day and every night and Dewey oboots at everything that looks suspicious Manila Is the largest bay in the world, I think, and it Is indeed a Hue oue. Dewey has two small Spanish torpedo beats run up Into au arm of the bay where be can't go and he is laying for them. Yesterday he cap tured a ship with a lot of arms and ammunition. The latest news that (hey h ive here Is of June 6tli and so we know nothing of what has happened in the oilier part of the world. We are not certain but wi think that our company will be landed today and we will be more than glad; for 36 days on the water wllh only two meals a day and no:h lug In those two nieaN, rather lnclims oue to the shore As soon as the other transports come we will go out and help the Insurgetts. We are all anxious for mail news and pay day, lor we have a month and a half pay coming. I'niled tSintes money Is not much good bete, but Mexican Is, and you can buy more for a Mexican dollar than for au Ameri can. We nil hope that the I'nped States will pay us in Mexican dollnrs, two for one, for that w ould treble eur pay. I am feeling fine, due to my eaie of ti'.yielf, for I bathe morning aud ulght and rat no meat. Early this morning natiws came out In small b nits with fruit, e?gs, chick ens and cigars and it did not take them long to sell out. I spent my last dime lor elg:trs, getting good ones for a cent a piece. Cigar that retail at home f,r 15 or 1M cents a ph ce can be purchased here for one dollar a hundred, so we wilt all smoke. We hear that our mall will be sent to Hong Kong this afternoon and we are all busy writing. Will write some more before mailing, One thing of Interest I have oiudted, is the day we crossed thelSOlh uierldi- an where we lo-t a whole day. W went to U.1 m usual 011 Thursdry night ami the next morning when we woke up It was Saturday morning and net Friday. One man In eur company lost a yea' of hi life, for Ids birthday was 011 that Friday that we did not have, so he lost his hl'thday and a whole year. I.ATKK. I We have Just learned that we are to land tonight or early In the morning. The American Minister came on board this morning anJ told us that we would have snap with' the Spaniards for last night 1100 half armed liisurgeut ran serous 50(1 Spanish troops and de feated them and took HoO prisoners. The Spanish soldiers are discouraged and are ready to lay down their arms almost without a struggle. Goodbye. El.llKKT. hOAD.

We had a very pleasaut day at San Pedro, a park about ten miles f.om the city. There was muslo aud ilrewnrks. About three o'clock In the afternoon a gentleman drove out with the horrifying news that Orvera bad sunk Sampson's eutlre squadron. There was a pall, black as night, over every one. I took the first tralu to owu. On my w ay from the depot I met some people I know and asked the latent dispatches. We stood In one ol tbe crowded pnrtales. A group of Spaniards were near, openly t j dcing Aswewe.e talking a name nger boy came hi sight with a telegram for one of the party I happened to be vt itl ; it gave the true verdict of that woud '.ful naval victory for Uncle Sam. One of the Spanish gentlemen eamo towards us and rather sneeiingly, asked If we hud later uews of Cervera's great 11 bt. The answer was lo place the telegram Inhlshaiid. It was signed by a man of high position in tlie states; uie ana trembling tlie Spaniard raised bis bat, thanked us for our courtesy, and turned buck to his friends while with .ngerand di-may, to give Ibis Dew version. It was a great relief to me ami I could appreciate how hesullered. Life lu Mi x Is much of a same ness. There Is i lie plaza three eveulngs a week, uiu-io aud promenading; the ladies walling in one direction the gentlemen in another, thereby the sexes always facing. It i.sverynmus lug toastra ger and foreigner, yet the Plaza, witli tlie exception of 1 he theatre, is the ouly place a Mexican of the upper class cau show her Parisian clothes. Mie has them in plenty but wears them with no s'jie. There is always a hint ol the Mexicau. Ons would never mistake her for a French womau or an American. At church the mantilia is worn by the iaJies of high degree, the middla classes wear a black tapalo and the lower classes and Indian maidens content themselves with tho reboso. It is almost by e m maud of tlie priests that hats or bonnets are not worn in church. In fact bead gear other than that pe culiar to the country is rarely ten save as I have said at tlie i'lun or tho t he at re. The Degollado tin at re by the w ay Is a miignillceot t-pteiineii of Mexicmi architecture; Ilia static is mammoth; one of the laigtot I have ev r seen; the acoustics are perfect. I ittleinhil a col cert given there last wetk and l he house was crowded. Mexican are all iiitisieUns; (he orchestra was as Hue as j uny I ever heard. Another evening I went tolhe Prin cipal theatre; it is very old and very quaint. There was a Mexicmi vau deville performance nu. One pays by the l.our, so much for one hour. We lein. lined three Tatuhis its they are Called, the treasurer coming to the b-ix and colleciiiig for the u. xt hour as the clock struck. The tiist taming was one aet from F.ust, a would-be serloU perf. imauce but wrttehtdly done. The second tandas was a very i lever I'ttlo Hpauish farce that wbs mo-t laughable. Tlie third he.ur they gave the 4th act of Caniille, and my only surprise is that I tuivived r, for Camiile, (-opposed to be d ing of con sumption weighed three bundled pounds, ami Arman i ah nil ninety.
