BIG RUSH For
TIMBER LANDS
All Valuable Claims Will Be Taken
Up in a Short Time.
"More timber land has been taken up
during the past six months in the Klam
ath end Coos Bay countries than ever
known before," says R. C., Pentland, the
mining man. '
He further assert that within the next
two months every section of timber land
' In Southern Oregon possessing any com
mercial value at all, will be located. Lum
ber la becoming scare In the East, end the
big companies have edvanoe guards on
, the . Paclfto Coast to make ' locations.
Many local parties are also beginning to
realise the value of the timber, end are
losing nO time in making locations. Sev
eral schooners are leaving here almost
every week with large cargoes for for
eign ports, and the lumber export trade
Is yet in Its Infancy.
For these reasons Mr. Pentland is con
fident that all the land of any worth will
soon be in the hands of Individuals 'and
corporations instead of the Government
It requires from TO tp 90 days to prove up
on Umber claims from the date of the
filing. The Government charges $330 for
a quarter section, which , many of the lo
cators sell just aa soon as they secure a
title. They experience no dlfllculty In
disposing of their Interests 'at. double their
cost to the agents representing the East
ern corporations, and to this cause can be
attributed the greet activity in this line.
Seme of those wishing to acquire claims
employ what ia known as "cruisers" to
locate them These are men familiar
with the country and know just where
to go in order to'find land not as yet
taken. They charge $100 for every loca
tion they make, and when a person goes
to thia expense hts 160 acres will cost blm
$450 in all. ; .
BIG LUMBER SHIPMENTS. .
Lumber shipments continue active. Set'
eral cargoes are now being loaded at tne
various mills. The Alcalde has finished
loading and la ready for the sea. -The
John A. and Frest Home are receiving
feat-goes at the Pacific Lumber Company's
mill.' The John A. will take about 800,000

The committee making arrangements
for Labor Day have prepared a partial
program for the event, and considered
other matters pertaining thereto. The

men. The program will, be completed at
subsequent meeting.
Just where the field sports will occur

' Passenger anil steatnboat c ien' art
making Strong fomplant against the
Willamette pulp & Paper Company, lo-'
cat4 at Oregon City, tor retarding nav
igation at the locks and at vartoun polnU
above them.' U is alleged that the locks
are utilised in a great measure by the
company and that it shows but little re
spect tot ths rights of vessels .faiaklng
dally trips up, that way. J. F. Smith
made a trip to the mouth of tne Yam
hill yesterday and speaking of the mat
ter, he aald: .
"I went up on the steamer Pomona
and although In a hurry we were de
layed in the locks for three-quarters f
an hour. After entering the boat went
ground, the paper company using ine
aup'nly Of water for Ita mill. After get
ting info the canal at the upper eild, we
encountered two steamers In the nar
row channel discharging cargoes at the
paper mill, one of them being the com
canv's own boat. The channel i so nar7
row that we could not piss and nothln
remained for us to do but Just stay the
unUl they got througjf When Wt finally
got out of the locks a raft ai)d boom
were found extending clear across' the
river, and the steamer was again de
layed, towing them eslde; before She
could get by. This raft and boom ,
belonged to the paper mill. After reach
ing the narrow, slpalloet. channels,, halt
way to Salem,' she encountered a drive
of jog nearly 13 mile in length that itr
some places completely blocked further,
procedure for time, and was a-serious
menace to navigation. Altogether tne
steamer lost four and a" half hours on
the trip. , ' ;
"Water la very loW in the upper river
and the United States snag boat went up
there yesterday to remove obstructions.
This Is the first" time that she has gone
up there for three years, on aeconnt
no appropriation being mad tor the pur
pose, and she will certainty find plenty
of work to do."
Speaking of the agricultural outlook
up the river, Mr. Smith said:
"Threshing has been begun and there
is going to be a big yield of grain nhere
this year. Fruit Is also In excellent Von
dltton, and gives promise of a- bo-jntltul
yield! The hop men are feeling fine, the
price of. that product being from 27 to Jo
cents, and they will make a rich harvest.
One man by the name of Charles Abcr
nathy was offered $3000 for his crop of 20
acre Just a It stands, but he refused
' This la the batiticr year f6r the Wil
lamette Valley farmers. Their profits
would be' much greater were it not for
the fact that th'ey have to pay a toll of
50 cent for every ton that passes
through the locks at Oregon City."' t

tarnrFrom East. :
Mr. Ben Se.ilng, Just returned from
his annual business trip to New Y&k

porter, .and had the following to say:
"1 have beenln. New .-York City a month.
"When 1 left Oregon 1 thought 1 had
left rain behind, but 1 find that the Web
toot state Jius no copyright on wet days,
(or during my entire stay in New York
there were only five days that it did not
rain. However my trip, though of n
purely business nature, was u very pleas
ant one, and from a business point of
view most satisfactory. The prosperity
of the Kust generally is very apparent
and unless signs fall we ahull enjoy
our full share of the good times, and 1
confidently expect that, the season we are
about entering upon will prove most sat
isfactory to Portland merchants."
When asked regarding the stales of
clothing for fall and winter wear, Mr.
Selling said: ' There Is llttie dllTererire
except that the atyle Is prfthip a lit

round at the shouders and the extreme
faddish cuts will not be so much seen.
The ready-to-weur garment will have

Will be neat Sensible u-id dressy."
Regarding the stuck of goods, the mak

A NEW AGENCY,
"I am on this coast at the present time

W. Gladden, of Chicago today." Our
company was Incorporated last January
with a capital stock of $2,0o0,000. the
head office being In New York, and we
propose to In time establish offices all
over the country in competition with
Bradstreet'S and R. ,Q. Dun & C' age

before we open' an office In Portland,
but when we do we ' propose to get a
