As a result haying wm run well into harvest. There are sveral binders already at work In tho well-advanced districts of the county. The crop Is reported to be a little above average in some of these districts, while ln others no better than an aver age la reported. In none, however, has the word come in that the crop was en tirely short of the average,- This means a good cqndttion for the .farmers of the county for another year. The results of good crops In I.ane will mean more this y-ar than In others, for the reason that produce in Southern Oregon counties has been light ln all lines. There is almost no nay m tne soutn. to speak of. At Glendale not long ago hay was sold at the enormous price of $30 per ton.

VANCOUVER, Wash., July 21. A somewhat strange fatality occurred late yesterday afternoon on, the cut-off of the P. V. & Y. road, two miles from this city. John Hughes, a laborer, aged 24 years, was working under the dump platform when the structure caved in and a gravel car, the platform and sev eral loads of dlft covered Hughes. When he was rescued there was no sign of tfe, .and his body was brought to an undertaking establishment here and pre pared for burial. This morning the undertaker in charge, of the body stated that there were no bruises, broken bones or concussions found on the body, and that the do ceased must have died from organic heart trouble. A fleeting glimpse was" allowed of the face, which exhibited no unusual marks ln the shade of the cof fin. There was no inquest held, and the railroad company bears the expense of the funeral, though Inquiry was made yesterday evening to discover what funds the county had for such burials, the amount allowed was found by the company to be only $10, and county aid was not requested? The body has been placed ln a silver-adorned coffin and will be burled at the-Catholie. cemetery. John Hughes had no realtlves in this region, and fow Intimate friends. A letter has been written to the Catholic parish at Montreal, where It is said Hughes formerly lived. He is said to have left Montreal in 18!)7, an since that time has been engaged ln construc tion work In the Northwest. The undertakers in charge of the body visited the scene of the disaster and stated that Is was an unavoidable accident, and that Hughes probably met his death through a shock that over exerted his weak heart. Just what por tion of tho gravel car, 'timbers and gravel fell on his body without making noticeable hrulses was not stated'. (Journal Special Service.) OREGON CITY.

GEORGIA'S FINE -EXAMPLE In Georgia certainly the ruling senti ment of the white majority Is In favor of giving the negro minority a fair show both in the school houses and at tne nai lot boxes. The House of Representatives at Atlanta has Just voter! down by a big majority a resolution offered by one of Its leading members to divide the school fund between the two races in proportion to the amount of taxes paid by each. If this were done, the negroes, being relatively very small taxpayers, would have been practically denied any thing like equal school privileges with the whites. This recalls the fact that theTTeorgla legislature at its last session rejected a measure aimed at the exclusion of ne groes from the votinsr lists. The spirit of fair play thus strikingly exhibited In one of the most typical of Southern states Is the spirit in which, affer the passitws of this period of mobocratle madness have cooled down, the negro problem both In the North and South for It Is no longer a sectional but a na tional problem will have to be met and mastered New York World.

It Is easier fer some butchers to get six hams out of one hog than it is to get one truthful word out of some men. Cyrus Townsend Brady was talking about the Itinerant preachers of the past. "These men,' he said, "were rugged and sincere. Their minds, If they were coarse, were also strong. Their .elo quence was sometimes powerful; some times it was amazing. "There was s. JiotahleJltlnerajit . wJia once preached on 'The Olory of the Saints,' and the description of a saint's glory that he gave in this Sermon de serves, I think, to be perpetuated. This is It, word for word: "Who, my brethren, can describe the glory of a saint? Why, nothing on earth can liken It. If you drill a hole through the sun and put it in your head for a, crown and split the moon In sunder and put the pieces on your shoulders for epaulettes if you tear down the starry curtain of the skies and wrap It around your body for a robe, and ride to heaven on the lightning wings of the tempest this will be noth ing to the glory of the saints.'
