The best judges now say there will be a good crop of prunes. Russia's foothold in Manchuria has been reduced to a very uncertian toe hold. " The Barnum and Bailey circus and all the other big things will be in Ore gon this year. The new canal commission is ex pected to begin a mud, dirt and rock throwing campaign soon. Nature is also on the side of the big fair. Oregon crops promise to be above the average this year. A smooth stranger buncoed a Walla Walla lawyer out of $200 and now the follower of Blackstone knows how his clients feel. Violent exercise is dangerous for children. A little girl in New York state jumped the rope over 200 times in succession and dropped dead. The lucky man is the one who grasps his opportunity and hustles. The man who does not put off till tomorrow what should be done todav A COMMON ABUSE There should be some substantial recourse for the man or woman who is brought into court in some civil ac tion and who without justification is slandered, maligned and villitied by some young bandy-lejrged, weasel eyed, lan tern-jawed, putty-headed up start of a lawyer, who mistakes abuse for argument and his profession as a license to drag the character and the good name of respectable people in the mire. If a few self-respecting people who fall victims to such out rageous treatment would, at the first opportunity thereafter, make a few indents with a two-year-old club in the soft eraniums of such smart Alecks, a more sane custom atjgat soon be inaugurated. An example of this contemptible legalized slander is found in a recent civil action in a Willamette valley town in which respectable couple, a man and his wife, were defendants. At the close of a long, rambling, senseless argu ment by the attorney for the plain tiff, we find this modest gem of logic and sound argument: "If the fair management would cage the pair and put them on exhibition, and the devil should happen along, his satanic ma jesty would buy them up at any price, for they would beat any attraction he had down in hell." Of course there are many criminal cases of a heinous nature in which the employment of very strong lan guage is fully justified on the part of the prosecution, but there is no ex cuse for the employment of such slan derous and abusive language in the piosecution of ordinary- civil cases. It would be about as reasonable for an editor to likewise abuse his privi lege and treat to a rich brown roast every person who took issues with him or his paper on any public ques tion, political or otherwise. EASTERN CROOKS COMING. Reports from various towns and cities of the state show that burg laries are being committed, apparent ly by men who are recent arrivals from the east and south. The officers at St. I jouis have notified the po lice on the coast to look for hundreds of sure thing, men, burglars, forgers and other criminals. We have escaped from the work ings of the advance guard of this motley crowd of scoundrels, but for how long remains to be seen. The local officials, both city and county, are well prepared to put a quietus on the operations of the pilgrim scoun drels, if they appear, which they are almost certain to do during the next few months. Speaking of the Rockefeller dona tions to foreign missions, it may be truthfully said that all money has, some time or other, been in pretty bad hands. With President Roosevelt whizzing aronnd the South, Emperor Williams setting the Mediterranean afire and King Edward scooting across France, travel news begins to assume a live aspect The general conditions throughout the country so far this season have been very satisfactory, and the pros pects seem to indicate that 1905 will rank as another prosperous year for trade and industry. It matters not whether you have been appointed on a committee to work for the Lewis and Clark fair. Uet busy anyhow. Appoint yourself a committee of one and go to work. Your commission will not be revoked. In the demise qf Mrs. Susan Loon-ey-Steiwer. the youngest hand that stitched on the first American flag that floated over American soldiers in Oregon has lot its cunning. She and another assisted Mrs. Mary Hold en in making the flag that floated over Captain Bennett's company, call ed the "Oregon Rangers," in 1846. The city council of Harrisburg has voted to establish an lectric light system to be owned and operated by the city. A special 5 mill tax was ordered as well as the issuance of $3,000 in bonds. A $7,000 plant will be pat in. DISTRICT FAIR TO BE HELD AT ROSEBURG A hint to Portland: The high priced German restaurant at the St Louis World's Fair bankrupted its owner, while the man who sold hot roast beef sandwiches on The Pike made an independent fortune. Next Friday, April 14, is Arbor lay and J. H. Ackerman. State Superintendent of Public instruction, has issued a very fine program for t he teachers of the state. The new mayor of Chicago, Mr. Punne, has thirteen children. His large family was an issue, and some people voted for him and against race suicide. If Rojestvensky meets Togo some thing is liable to happen to Rojest vensky. The Indian ocean may be the site of a new submarine cemetery soon. The Koseburg Park and Fair Asso ciation h:iv ,h. i ... l u . . . ua. uisinct iair at the Koseburg grounds again this fall, it having been held at Fugene last year and t aiarshheld the former two vears. Th fair be held about the middle of September, the exact days to be de termined at another meeting of the directors to be held in Roseburg, uonoay, May j, at which time there will also be election of officers. The Koseburg Park and Fair Asso ciation will meet conjointly with the fair directors. After this meeting uii wwni h tne arrangements will be announced, This fair will distribute about $1 8lH" iu premiums and purses among the citizens of this county and will no doubt be largely attended by strang ers many of whom will be in the state attending the Portland Exposition and looking over the country with a view of locating or making an invest ment. It therefore behooves the peo ple of Kouglas county as well as the other counties of this district to make a liberal exhibit at the district fair, and the people should begin hy ing plans now for individual exhibits. This should be made the greatest fair in the history of the association. UNREQUITED LOVE LEADS TO TRAGEDY ESTABLISHMENT OF B00TH-KELLEY CO. They are not talking of building a railroad from Medford to Crater Lake, they are building it. They hustle down in southern Oregon.

Dr. Harry Lane has expressed his willingness to accept the democratic nomination for Mayor of Portland. ur. Lane is a grandson of Gen. Joe Lane, Oregon's first territorial gov ernor, a historical figure in American public life. Dr. Lane and Rev. Fa ther Arthur Lane of the Catholic Church in Jackson county are cousins A RELIC OF ANTIQUITY The form of the census blank used in the enumeration by Oregon assess ors was authorized by the Legislature of 1S64, and while the state has ad vanced steadily along the line of a diversity of products, no change has ever been made in the census blank to provide for new conditions. Four of the state's chief products hops. prunes, mohair and poultry are not mentioned in the blank at all. The state has been rapidly growing in in dustrial importance all these vears. but no effort has been made by the Legislature to keep the state census blank revised to meet existing condi tions. Secretary of State Dunbar called the attention of the last leg islature to the importance of a re vision of the blank, but no attention was paid to his recommendation. The blanks sent out to the county assess ors have been prepared in strict con formity to the statutes and no blame can attach to Mr. Dunbar for the sufficiency of the form. The however, will be of little value to the ! Iatur-mJ'n'1 eo" not entitled state at large. The rich and pros perous counties of the Willamette valley and Southern Oregon will suf fer most by the poor showing, as many of their important industries will not be enumerated at all. Observer. The little town of Mott, in Siskiyou county, five miles from Sisskm, was the stvne of a fearlul doubU. iriMlr Ut Wednesday algal, when J." H. Ureitory. a rejected lover of Miss Anna K.

Gregory had I been in the berry and ice business at the ' place, until a lew months ago, with his. brother, V. H. Gregory. Kiftht months ago he met Miss Miller, whose home iJ in ootU alley, and later thev becama engaged. All went well until weeks ago, when Miss Miller met Ly man Osborne of Siasion, and it -was clearly a case of love at first sight. She told Gregory that it was best to break their engagement and gave her reason. Gregory )erame despondent and Jast night's fearful tragedy resulted. It occurred at a spot selected by Gregory, under a tall weeping pine, near steps leadingVv.-r an old-fashioned fence. After shooting the girl who had rejected his love, he flung himself across her dead body ana placing the revolver in his mouth, ended his own life.

Miller, present i nited States Consul to Yokohama, started a small cash and door factory at Grant's Pass. He gave it the name of the Sugar Pine Door A Lumber Com pany, and the oaiginal stockholders con sisted of Henry B. Miller, Frank J. iur, n. c. Kinney, John C. Carson and Senator John H. Mitchell. A lew soars latter K. A. Booth, John F Kelley and George H. K el ley acquired a small quail of the capital stock which originally amounted to 160,000, of the par value of $100 a share, but which was afterward increased to $126,000. Meis-chner, Meyer A Co., Foster A Kubertaon, and other Portland business houses wre so interested in the cor poration in a small way.

Jones owned a small sawmill near Cottage Grove in th early 'VOs In an effort to enlarge hit bntinest by the construction of a more commodiont mill at Saginaw, Or., he became finan cially embarrassed, and in 1807 the Booth-Kelley people bought him out. With the money realited from hit big mill sale in Ivk or 1900 J. I. Jones and J. W. Cook formed a copartnership, gathering a tract of about 10,000 acres, mostly railroad land, on Brumbaugh Kiver. In 1901 tbey sold oat to the Booth-Kelley Company. The Govern ment's theory in that the Booth-Keller people furnished the money to Cook A Jones with wbirh to purchase tbit land, whereas the reverse is the rate. We never did want theni to get hold of this land, because it waa in the midst of our own holdings right under our noee.

We still retain groin 20 ,000 to 25 000 acres in tbe Cas cade forest reserve, out dl en original ownership there of 40.000 acres. ProbateMers.

Did you ever count the words in a column of ordinary newspaper print? There are about two thousand words in a column. Suppose you sit down and write a thousand words on some subject, aid then another thousand on another until you have written eight or ten thousand. Try it and see if it is right easy. Keep that gait up for a month. Then chase a local item all over town, and after yon have gotten the facts all right, condense them into a few lines an hoar's work that can be read in a few seconds. Do this for a dozen items that seem insignificant after they are printed, but which you know are im portant; then have the items criti cised and inaccuracies pointed out to you when it is too late to correct them. Oh, yes, it is easy. Guard, The only newspaper of prominence in Chicago that supported Judge Dunne for mayor, besides Hearst's papers, was the Chicago Journal. Be ing asked repeatedly why that news paper, which for nearly half a century- has been an exponent and upholder of the Republican party, supported Judge Dunne, the Democratic candi date for mayor, its answer was: "Be cause this is in no sense a party cam paign. It is not a fight between Dem ocrats and Republicans. The all-pre- vading issue is the street railway- question.

The Petitions bearing a few more than 400 names have been filed with the county clerk of Linn county request ing a referendum vote on the omni bus appropriations bill passed by the late session of the legislature. Most of the signers of the petitions live in the precincts adjacent to Lebanon. and Brownsville, though a few small petitions from Albany have been filed. The number already filed lacks only about 50 of Linn county's proportion of the quota necessary to secure the referendum vote. It is reported that the petitions are being readily signed wherever presented, but the excite ment over the referendum movement has died out completely. r a . roresignt sometimes comes to men, but never to assemblies." The application of this will be evident af ter Chicago haa had a few years of municipal ownership, opposing thus investment of private capital.

The above article appeared in a re, eat issue of the Oregonian and has since been published in several other papers of the state and is correct except in that part where it speaks ot the second meet ing. Roseburg's company only shot once at the range, while Company M and three others had two trials at it. The order read that there should be no pre vious practice at the range during the day of the shoot and that was one of the points made in the local team's protest, but Koseburg is not crying because the contest was decided against them. When the team was sent from this city to Portlaud they knew they were going up against a hard contest, and although Company D lost the contest under pro test, many officers high in rank in the state guard have expressed their sur prise at the decision. Anyway the local militiamen are not discouraged at the showing made by their team in the lost contest and leel assured that they will at least be a represented on the state team at the national shoot fn Sea (irit N J., August 24, 1005, and that they will also be heard from at the next an nual competition.
