Power of tlie Preas.
Klamath Star: "The power. of the
country press" was not even perceptible
in the defeat of Lionel R. Webster. In
spite of the fact that the people's party
vote went solidly against him and as
solidly in favor of Chamlrerlain, he got
more votes than any other state candi
date on either ticket. There is not a
more poplar man in, the 'state than
Webster and the power of the country
press arrayed against him is not. worth
shucks. Even the press must have solid
facts against the candidate it would j
down.

Klamath Express. Edward T. Owen,
French professor of the Wisconsin state
university, in company with Burt Cun
ningham, has been chasing butterflies
in the Wood river country for four weeks
past. The professor has enjoyed his
outing thoroughly. "When not adding
to his entomological collection he has
been casting the fly in the northern
crystal streams with splendid success,
in one instance taking - six speckled
beauties from one pool, the half dozen
aggregating thirty pounds in weight.
On bis arrival here he jealously watched
a box on which was marked, "value,
$250." It contained about 2500 butter
flies and moths which he will add to
his collection at Madison, "Wis. The
professor has secured -winged .beauties
from India, Australia, Borneo, South
America and European countries, num
bering in all fully 30,000. It" is one of
the most complete collections extant.

The condition of the poor, iri the un

worse than those in the burned, as they
are without means of subsistence and

They are actually trying to burn their
few belongings so as to get help. Nearly
7000 persons are encamped in a large
field,' housing being the worst feature at
present. There is no . want of clothing
or food. The coming fall and winter
