For the present, at least, the young csiaple will make their home in this city. Don't Start Fires. This is the fiery season of the year and Governor Geer is send ing out the customary warning. Following are a couple of sec tions from "An Act to Protect Timber and Other Property From Fire," which was passed at the seventeenth regular session of the legislative assembly of Oregon: "Section I. If any person shall maliciously with -intent -to injure any other person, by him self or-any other person, kindle a fire on his own land or the land of any other person, and by means of such fire the buildings, fences, crops ' or ether personal property or wooded timber lauds ofauvotlvjr person shall be de stroyed or injured, he shall, on conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than twenty dollars nor more than one thousand dol lars, or by imprisonment in the county iail not less than three months nor more than twelve months, according to the aggra vation of the offense. "Section 2. If any person shall, witLout malice, kindle any fire in any field, pasture, en closure, forest, prarie or timber land not his own, without the consent of the owner, and the same shall spread and do damage to any buildings, fences, crops, cordwood bark or other personal property not his own, he shall, cn conviction, be punished by a fine net less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars and ccsts, according, to the ag gravation of the ofiense, and shall stand committed until the fine and costs are paid. Crops and Creameries. Joseph Yates, one of Linn countv's best known and most successful farmers, has this to y of the condition of crops af ter an inspection of several large farms in the vicinity of Oakville: "ball gram iooks nne; oats and wheat near! v' all in shock: berry very fine. Cheat will make from to 60 bushels to the acre. Two binders running c Calvin Yates' larm, are cutting cheat which he expects to have threshed aud use for cow feed. It makes splendid, rich feed for cows, and as a iniik-producer. is hard to beat. "At the Shedd skimming sta tion I saw five teams unloading milk, and met two more on the road coming in. The" milk and creamery business is proving : a wonderful incentive to cheer up the farmer and fill " his ; pocket book with flie filthy lucre. I examined three ' different fields of spring wheat,'- and saw .no signs of insects or bags on the wheat, t Garden and vegetables of all kinds very plentiful, and peaches about half crop. Tno outlook is certainly '- very eccour aging to farmers." - . The Wght, Sentiment From various sections of the kcountry silly sentimentalists are now and then heard lrom who sympathize with Harry: Tracy, the murderer and escaped outlaw. In an incredibly short time a play was staged in ; Seattle for the purpost of catering to the abnormal appetite qf the public for the sensational ot the lowest order, aud the plot hinged on the history of Tracy and Merrill. It was played in Seattle and an attempt to produce the dramati zation of "rot" 'in Everett Wash., met with strong opposi tion. A recent dispatch reads: Everett is up in - arms against the coming of t&e Tracy-Merrill Theatrical Company, billed to appear here Friday nigh t. It is hinted that if the company ig nores public sentiment and brings its so-called attraction to an Everett, playhouse it will be handled without gloves. Mayor Terrell expresses himself forcibly against the appearance, of the murderer impersonators, saying that if it is in his power to stop their coming he will do so. Last night the Improved Order of Red Men agreed to use its power against the company, the local lodge of Odd - Fellows also taking action. . The strongest movement is in the police de partment, which is circulating a generously signed petition against a reproduction of 'a se ries of murders. Judge Denny; of the Superior Court, says the coming of the Tracy-Merrill play with its dastardly reproduction is a crying shame and should not be tolerated. The clergv here is indignantr Snpt.
