Complaints made about it Euceest that anto-eo-slow is about the ticket Cattle feeders are putting on a lot of frills these days because it takes a right good 4-year-old horse to sell for as much as a 2-year-old steer that is also "right good." The barometer of the crops indi cates that another year of prosperity is ahead, and the new Congress to be . elected November 4th will fit into the situation.

The total Democratic yote in Ver mont in Monday's election was 7.2SQ, the smallest the party has cast for many years. Bryan'a vote in 1S9G was 10.C37, and in 1000, 12,849.

Be sure and be numbered among .the exhibitors at your district fair. Every little helps, yon know, and your cow, horse, sheep, goat, chick en, pampkin, fruit or baby, may be just the very one to carry off the premium. The man in the small town is now kicking because he has to pay box rent and go after his mail twice a day while the farmer eight or ten miles out in the country has his mail brought right to his door. We would suggest that the kickers move to the country, then they can eDjoy free mail delivery. In every community we see one or more farmers who are the marvel of tbeir neighborhood. With a few acres, probably not more than two horses, a few hegs and a cow or two, they seem to be getting on better than another who has broad acres and numbers his stock by hundreds. Yon will observe, however, on the first named farm, fences well kept, stock likewise, with plenty of feed in eight from year to year. The straw and corn fodder is all carefully saved, and, above all, the fertility of the soil is kept ap br jndicions rota tion of crops and use of all barnyard and other manures. Much of the land will be made to prod nee two crops per year. The man with the larger farm will waste more than is raised on the smaller one, and in years of crop failure will have to buy grain to feed so many teams. His neighbor says he is "land poor." Probably never before in the his tory of the state has the rivers streams and spriDgs been at a lower ebb or stage, than at the present time and owning to the light rainfall this sum mer the early autumn season is an unusually dry ona This ac counts for the extraordinary disas trons forest fires which nre raging through-out this state and Washing ton at the present time, distroying millions of dollars worth of valuable timber and property. It seems that only the advent of the. early fall rains, which sra doe end likely to come at eny time, will extinguish these raging forest fires. It is the prevailing opinion that after the ravages of the tinmen have been checked by a we!cotn rain, that the reported loss of life will be found to Lave been greatly exaggerated. However, there is littlo doubt but what the timber und property loss will in the aggregate prove appalling. Senator Booth of Lane county de nies that he is a candidate for U. S. Senator. He says the announce ment that he was, came from an enemy and not a friend. Forest Grove Times. The forests in Dsnglss and Jaok son Counties are on lire, bnt the damage yet is Bmall . Supervisor S C. . Bartrum and Superintendent Ormsby, of the Cascade Forest lte- erve say no fire has yet entered the eserve. The secretary of the interior has decided in an Oregon case that a claimant to government land must comply with the law in reference to residence, cultivation, etc , and or dered a homestead entry cancelled. This puts things in a serious condi tion for homesteaders not actually residing on the property. The initial number of the Glendale News came to our table Saturday It is a very neat and newsy little paper, containing feur, pages with four columns of interesting reading matter to the page. Its editor is H V. Hulbert and he announces that the ryews will be the organ of no po litical party or corporation. The little paper starts out with a good advertising patronage and bids fair to succeed. Its sabscriprion price is one dollar a year and will be issued Saturdays. The Plaisde a ler wishes the little journal and its editor sue cess. Todays dispa tch ea from the burn ing districts indicate that tbedevasta tion ol the hre hend continues un abated. The populace of two states is appalled over the tremendous de struction left in the wake of the holo caust Whole counties are at the mercy of the flames, and many yil ages without adequate fire protection have been wholly or partially laid in ruins. In some of the obscure dis tricts where settlers have located, in places surrounded by heavy timber the stampede for the open country has begun. Many are rushing for heir lives from the leaping flames which are bounding over the country in a st eat wave. In many of the towns a reign of terror is in vogue People are standing about palsied with fright, and looking forward with hopeless despair to the' annihil ation of property which can only be averted by the rarest of luck. A TERRIBLE STOHT - will be chronicled when the summary of the ravages of the blighting destroyer are compiled. Charred an blackened corpses by the score, will be found incinerated at differant points, where no avenues of escape were open from cremation in tbefirey furnace. The homeless will be nam bered by the hundreds, and the effect on the business interests of the North west will be almost beyond computa. tion. The irreatest feature of loss will be in the timber industry. Log ging carape and sawmills have been the principal sufferers. Many of these have been wiped out, and will take months before the business interests of the country again ieach the bases of activity that existed before the visitation of the consum ing blight. THE SITTATIOK 'a as follows: Gresham is being threatened and the town is being pro tected by the vigorous work of the citizens. The Oregon City people have hard fight to keep the Hames from making further prograss. The fire departments are all at work and have up to this hour kept the fire at bay, and confined the destruction to number of residences. In Lane. Dauelas and Marion Counties vast areas of valuable tim ber are going up in smoke. The steamer Columbia is on a bar as Tongue's Point, owing to her loss of bearing in the dense, smoke. The telegraph and telephone wires are down in mauy places by the burn ing and falling of tree. Dwellings, bridges and fences have been burned in great numbers, in every section. In the Springwater district it js re ported that over 200 houses have been burned. The hre is raging over the whole country east of Bridal Veil as far as the Cascades. Everything is being swept in all directions and it is now impossible to estimate the losses or give hope of checking the great wa! of fire until rain comes. Thousands of acres of valuable timber have al ready been destroyed, besides mills homes, crops and property of every description. People are fleeing from the path of the flames, deserting everything to save their lives. The entire force employed at the Bocth-Kelley mill at Wendling is fighting the fire now within two miles of the mill. It is now burning some of the finest timber owned by the Booth-Keiley Company. The settlers are bending every effort to check the flames. None of them have suffered mnch loss as yet, however. L. D.I Carl returned home'Fndsy from a trip to the Coast Range mountains in the vicinity of Flour Day valley, which he will remember for a while" He went over into the coast timber belt for the purpose of locating aud filing on a limber claim After finding a body of timber ex actly to bis liking be located the tract and stopping over night in that vicin ity, was overtaken by the terrible for est fire which was raging in that vi cinity and in twenty four hours his timber claim was teduced to a few burned and charred cras and stumps be himself barely escaped with hi life. Holes were burned in his hat clothing and even the saddle on his horse's back, while he was nearly blinded by the dense smoke. He says he found w. J. Lander, who is looking after the S. P. Go's interests in that vicinity, sitting on a big log by the roadside nearly blinded by the Bmoke and worn ont by lighting fire and upon passing that way a few hours later the og and Lander had disappeared, file bavin? patsed that way, but no apprehension is felt for the safety of Mr. Lander or any other persons who chanced to be in that icinity, as several outlets from the inrning district were afforded. Forest Fire Near Roseburg. Great forest tires were reported in al uioft every direction from Rosebnrg Sat urday. The stage! drivers and travelers oniing in from Coos comity report ed gnat difficulty in crossing the Oast Range on account of forest tires and entiling smoke. Great damage to the iinuer iii ot tue coast regiou lias re sulted. Some fires are reported east and south of Rosehurg hut little serious lamae is thought to have reunited in those directions. Never in the history of the country has such fires raged, ash es and cinders fell so profusely and h moke been so dense as last week, and especially saumiav while at the same time the forest fires were ueneral throughout Oregia and "Washington. Charles Perry Dead. Charles I'errv died at the residence of his jiarents, Mr. and Mi s. Win. Perry on Short Street, at 5:20 p. m. Sunday evening at the age of XI years, 5 months and f dava. He has been ailine for the past ten months, with what proved to be that dreaded disease, Diabetes, hut not until last Friday did his parents discover that he was in such a serious condition. At that time, he, with his mother was in Portland, where tliey went in hopes that Portland medical skill might help Ids failing condition After a thorough examination bv Portland physicans, he was advised to return home, where rest aud quietness might help to bnild him up but at the same time the phvsicians told Ins mother that he was beyond medical aid Immediately, arrangements were made for his return to tins city, and as he had been fastly loosing strength, his mother telegraphed fur a carriage to meet him at the train, Saturday morning. TLis oi course greatly shocked his relatives and friends, as when he left for Portland week before, lie had l-een quite strong and seemingly gaining strength. l'on hi arrival here, he was barely able' to walk to the carriage, and upon reaching the house he was immediately put lied, from which he never arose. I'r. llonok was called and did all that was possible to ease his patieut. All day Saturday he kept growing weaker. and in the afternoon lavauie unconsriou ana ueiinous at limes, in the evening Dr. Hon. k resorted to his last hope, that of injecting a "salt solution" into his veins, this rallied the patient and after a few restless hours he became quiet and slept a kliort time. Later he sle two hours, and when he again awoke, he was able ht recognize the friends an relatives gathered around him. During Sunday forenoou he m-iul -much im proved and as unconscious at short perioils, but in the afternoon he doz mio a stnior, irom winch he never awoke, hut peacefully and quietl breathed his last at 5 :20 Sunday even' ing. Charles Alexander Terry, wa born at West Albany, Wabasha county Minn.

Contemplates Acquisition of Present Spreckles Railroad Booth Kelly's Big Land Deal Closed Pokti.am), Sept. 1:1. Major L. D. Kinney, chief engineer of the Great Central Railroad, returned last night f rom a trip to Coos Ray. He had spent wo weeks on Coos liny and at Rose- urg. He announced that he hail set tied the route of the railroad letween Coos Ray and the Southern Pacific that it would practically lie the route of Coos Ray, Rosehurg A Eastern, forming the junction at Rosehurg. His plan is to build up to the present line of the Coos Bay, Rosehurg A Rustern at both ends, then bur the Spreckles road if it an be had on reasonable terms; if not, to parallel that road. This does away with all possibility that the mad will get out by way of Drain or Kngene. It is definitely settled that it will to to Rosehurg. Major Kinney also brought the new that the Booth-Kelly Lumber Comany had taken up its option for the land grant of tho Oregon Central Military Wagon Road Company, a deal involvin 2,XX),000. The Booth-Kelly Company did this on the assurance of Major Kin nev that the Great Central Railroad woul.l go and that it would afford ade iiuute transiMrtation facilities for the timber on the grant. Another important announcement was that Nelson Rennet, the well-knowo contractor, who built several hundied miles of the northern Pacific, will under take to construct the Great Central Railroad,' and the contract for that part between F.mpire City and Koseburg wi be lorniallv awarded at the first meetin of the board of directors to lie held in day or two. That stretch of road is to be ready for operation within 15 montl from the date of the contract. The work will be done th;ough the instni' mentality of the Empire Construction Company, in which Mr. Bennett wi figure prominently. Several subcontracts have alrt ady been let. Henry Sengstacken, of Marshfield, will get ont the piling for four miles of trestle. D. W. Small, of Walla Walla, is already at work on a contract for grading the remaining three miles be tween F.mpire City and Marshfield. He has a dozen teams of his own at woik, and the remainder of his , force lie will hire from among farmers of that locali ty. C. F.. Cook ha taken a miIkoii tract for grading from Myrtle Point toward R"sebuiy, where pome heavy cuts are to l made. He has 75 hordes in Fuger.e that will le started for the new work tmlay. All who are interested in the Con struction Com any agre not to go too heavily into the ri-k cf construction iu an Oregon Winter. The plan is to get the work well organised along the line and prorifd carefully with certain or tions during the Winter, and to have everything ready for crowding construc tions in the spring. "I told you Some time ao we would begin artive construction work on the railroad by Septemlier 1," said Major Kinney. '"Well, it was Septemlier 3 when the work was actually heunn. That was not a bad miss, was it?" Chief Kngineer Kinney says the wharf at Empire City is completed, and crews of workmen are busy on the new townsite of Rancor, and on the Belt Line Railway. He rrrt a notable change in the sentiment of Coos Ray (cople toward the Great Central enter prise, who are now warmly supporting where they formerly were distrustful. The chief-engineer expresses great re gret that all tho myrtle of Coos couuty has heen secured by San ' Francisco people, who will take it to the Bay City for manufacture. At Myrtle Point-he found men grubbing out myrtle stamps for shipment to San Francisco, and a Mr. Hall, who represents the California people, told him (16 a ton was paid for that wood. Mr. Kinney has offered 120,000 as an inducement to have the .wood manufactured into furniture on Coos Bay, which has been taken under consideration. Whlpplc-Vaugaiaux Wedding. "A very pretty wedding was that cel ebrated last Saturday evening at the residence of Rev. C T McDonald in thi city when Charles N. Whipple, of Oro Grande, this county, and Miss Edna Vaugniaux, of Moscow, were made man and wife. The bride is best known in Moscow w here she has a large circle of friends.

Rosehurg is to have a branch of the Phoenix Savings &. Loan Association of San Francisco. This company is one of the largest Savings institutions of its kind in the West and its phenomenal success is the siihject of frequent com ment in the financial circles of thecoat. During the past two years its subscribed capital has increase) I over t5 ,000 ,000. Mr. J. C. Sanuur, the company's sie- cial agent, is now at the M.Clallen house and will make arrangements fo the establishment of a branch here, li, sjieaking of the marvelous success cf this institution, Mr. Sanner said that lis aserilied it largely to the personnel of the directors which includes gome of the leading, financial men on the toaa Among them are: Charles E. La-Id, of Ladd & Tiltou, t!x well known Portland bankers ; Charles R. Bishop of the lank of California, which L one of the larges t cOmmerrial hanks in California ; A. Watkins, pieident of the Board of Tra-.ie of San Francisco, nd vice president of W. W. Montague & Co., one of the lar;- est wholesale store' and plumbing su ply houses in the West. Another reason for the sucevsj of the Phoenix, continued Mr. Sauner, is the fact that our company is the only tne in California which hss a reserve fund that absolutely guarantees depositors against loss of any kind. The effwt of this is, that should any losses .cur .n account of foreclosure the reserve fund is charged w ilk such loss thus not ef fecting the profits of ileisitors.
