VALLEY SETS Thunder and Lighning Display Makes Easterners Feel al Home. FOLLOWED SULTRY SPELL Extended Through Slsklyous Into California Wires Down In Many Places. The electric storm that visited Sa lom last night seems to have been general, extending across the Sls kiyous and well down Into Califor nia, says the Capital Journal. The storm here appeared to come from the east. About 9:30 the lightning began to show, apparently far up over the Cascade range. Dy 10 o'clock the lightning was almost constant, there being a vivid dis play of sheet lightning that lit up the valley, and made the mountains vis ible. As a variation to the glare, there was an occasional bolt of the old-fashioned Eastern chain light ning that apparently fell straight from the heavens to the earth, and through the smoky atmosphere it looked like an immense bar of red hot iron, or as though the door of sheol had suddenly been swung open, and as suddenly closed. In the meanwhile off to the north an oppo sition storm developed, that seemed to be running under entirely differ ent management. As it furnished a different style of fireworks. About 11 o'clock rain began to fall, and each Hash, followed by the rattling of thunder, seemed to jar the sprink ling pot and send down a momen tary shower. The lightning was not so sharp, nor did the thunder get up to that hair-raising and deafening rattle that It does In the East, but considering that electric storms are rare in Oregon, this one might be considered . flrst-class. Reports re ceived this morning from the south show the storm was much more se vere down in the Siskiyous . than here. A 'phone message was re ceived by the Pacific Telephone Company late last night that a se vere electric storm prevailed In Northern California and Southern Oregon. From Yreka south to Sac ramento the storm appears to have been especially serious. The tele phone wires went down, and the tel egraph companies were working only under the greatest difficulty. Wheth er any property damage, except the prostration of wires, has resulted, was not ascertainable. The Western Union's Oakland wires failed at 11:40 p. m. south of Itoseburg. , Ashland had reported a severe electrical storm raging before the wires went down. A house in West Salem was struck but the damage was light, and an other near Wheatland was partially destroyed by the lightning sotting it on fire. No damage other than tue above has been reported, and out side of the breaking off of a few 'overloaded limbs from the fruit trees and the delaying of threshers, it is probable none was done, and this Is moro than compensated by the good done the pastures and other crops. PERSONAL MENTION. CANADIANS WILL BUY HORSES IN OREGON 1)00 of These miinuils Will He Pur chased in AVillniiiotti' Valley If Possible. Salem, Or., Aug. 2G. W. M. Dur roll, of Portland, was in Salem this week with an order for 900 horses, weighing from 1300 pounds and up and from 3 to 7 years of age, for shipment to the Piano Binder Com pany, of Alberta, Canada. Mr. Dur--roll says that, notwithstanding the unusual scarcity of draft horses of tills character and the consequent extraordinary demand for them, ho hopes to bo able to fill his order In the Willametto Valley, although ho may have to pay from $200 per head and up for them. He attributes the cause for tho early breaking down and scarcity of heavy draft horses In this country to tho pavements of tho cities, wliero horses nro put in tho harness nt 3 nnd 4 years of age. Mr. Durrell de clares this Is foolhardy, because heavy horses should not bo allowed to pull heavy loads upon tho pave ment until G years old. Ho also says tno farmer who has a largo brood inaro, under presont conditions of tho market, is foolish to sell It at any prlco. William Skipton, a horse dealer of this city, camo in Thursday evening with n carload of farm horses, which ho was obliged to ship from Union county. It was but u few years ago that horses were not taken into con sideration nt all when tho farmer took an inventory of tho vnluo of his real and personal property, but now they arc accepted vory readily as valuablo chattels and tho owners of horsos of any grade or breed are tak ing such euro of them that the voteri nnrv surgeons of this section of the vall'ov are crowded for tlmo to attend to th'olr cnlls. This latter condition is truo of all kinds of farm and dairy stock. BREAKWATER LIES AT NORTH BEND DOCK Tho Breakwater Is at North Bend whore sho arrived last ovenlng nbout nine o'clock.

Packers, not growers, must add to their names the postqfllco address of their respective business places. Farmers, havo you ovor thought that the most of you aro some of the greatest violators of tho law? You could bo made to pay more flues than tho scattering law breakers soiling whisky. Tho dairy laws aro very plain but strict. All refuse, that Is to say tho dropp'ng-i of animals kopt In the barns, must dally be cleaned out and such refuse not to be left outside tho barn to accumulate and decomposo hut must be removed not less than one hun dred feet from such barn, thereby se curing pudlty of milk. Each cow barn and stands must bo whitewashed twico a year. The line for omitting to perform such is fifty dollars for tho flrst offense. Tho county would havo a rich har vest of money by enforcing tho law and this should bo and will bo done when the dairy inspector takes hold. Accept a warning in time. Tho uso of electricity for tho forc ing of all kinds of vegetables to a much earlier maturity has been prac ticed for ninny years and Is nothing new. By tho use of electric lights during a part of tho night you torco tno growth of plants from seeding to Its ripening just ono-thlrd. Myrtlowood should not bo wan tonly destroyed. It will yet bo a large item of exportation. Mr. Frank Allen, a Now York cap italist, lias bought all tho myrtle lumber sawed by Mr. Buckman, an Arizona lumber man. Mr. Allen has built a largo shed above tho town and also Is doing work at tho Mast Hardwood Furniture factory. Mr. Wm. Dloty, his assistant, packed qulto a lot of tho luinbor for ship ment to tho east. Our postmaster, Mr. August Bon dor, has resigned. It Is expected that Mr. II. B. Stoward, prominent as n strawberry grower, and at present assistant postmaster, will bo appointed. i $ J J J $ $ J $ $ t Ji5Jt AT CHAMBER OF COLMERCE I $ $ 4 t $ $ J l Joe Fosse, Bunker Hill, Oregon; O.
