They are considering the feafeibility ot nutting in a long distance line and transmitting power through a num ber of towns. They will put their Rvntfim nt work on the principal of the telephone and distance will not cut much figure with them. Time will tell whether there is any iruin in this rumor or not Oregon lumber to the extent of r.ilW 200.000.000 feet has been shipped from the state since Jan. 1, this year. Of this amount 54,692,- 201 feet have gone by water and about 150,000,000 feet by rail. Rail shipments have gone boutn and East. A little less than half the water shipments have gone di rect to foreign ports.

Tk. S.lsm Statesman tells of a ilio uuiv - peculiar accident which happened to Dave Irvine, formerly of Corval lis, in Salem last week: "V. n. Irvine, the Court street shoe manu hilft ridinai' a bicycle in the neighborhood ot his piace 01 business, on Thursday evening, ran into one of the stakes to which one of the guy wires of the big boot Bign is fastened in sucti a manner aa frv throw him from the wheel and at the same time pull the huge boot, which weighs aoout ow pounds, down on top of him.

A chvsician was sum moned who made an examination, oni aithnno-h no hones were brok- n ;t van fmmd that hia left side nd left leer was so badly bruised as to necessitate his remaining in bed for several days." Thejnew Dam. The Fischer dam is to be con structed cn a far, greater scale than many people imagine. With the old dam it was impos sible to utilize all of the water and in the summers water power for operating the nouriBg mm was ont of the question. At present nine men are em ployed in the construction of the dam. Durinsr the past week I i i A miin nas ueeu unvcti aim a email hmstiricr enenne done. A small hoisting engine , : , ? j ner pihnsr, dredging, etc. A ca- ble has been stretched across the stream and a car or bucket that will. hold a yard of gravel is op erated on the wire " with the aid of a pulley and the engine.. The whole affair is on the plan ot an aerial tram, and works to per fection. It is a great labor sav ing contrivance. The dam will be between nine and ten feet high. It will be about 1 50 feet long, and at its base will be 32 feet wide, or thick. In its construction two carloads of cement, 500 or 600 yards of eravel and 7.5,000 feet of lumber will be required. All f the cement and gravel is on the ground and about 30,000 feet of lumber has been received, ine balance of the lumber required will be received as rapidly as it will be needed. In the bottom of the dam flood gates made of 14-inch sewer pipe will be placed. There will be ten sections ot pipe run (through the botton of the dam, and each pipe will have a gate, so that it will be an easy matter to regulate the flow ot water through the race. "The old m;ll dam was a leaky affair, but the one now building will be perfectly tight, as it will be ce mented. August Fischer, who is super intending the construction of the dam, says that he estimates the cost of the dam at from 3,000 to $3,500. He thinks that it will require fully six weeks' yet to comolete the work, and ne will be satisfied if it is completed by September 15th. Well Shaken. U. B. Vogle, the jeweler and optician who was in business in this city for several years and who sold out to A. J. Metzger and went into business in Lom- poc, California, has written the Gazette a brief account of the earthquakes that have been fash ionable within the past week in and about Santa Barbara, Calif. Lompoc is right in the section of country tbat was so well shak- en up. In his letter Mr. vogie savs: Von no doubt have heard of the earthquakes at Lompoc and Tnlv 27th. It was the hardest shock felt here since the vallev has bee a settled and I want to tell you that I have been "rocked in the cradle of the deen." and in various other this nne "takes the cake." There is no position thai- T wfls not in. During a series of earthquakes all lights are extinguished in or nW to avoid fires, which makes the situation more dangerous tcVioti in a hnildinff. A thous and thnn ants run through a per son's mind about that time, and the most of them pertains to the hereafter. Everyone here says that thev are going to be good from now on. Tnat north of town about one- fourth of a mile there is a chasm in the earth which destroyed the old Spanish Mission which was built in 1812 and killed a great manv communicants.

A ladv who came here for her health, had often expressed a de sire to feel the earth quate. iier wish was ranted last night and she took the 5 o'clock train this mnminn- and never even said i V 1 - "kiss my loot" to anyone. Our Alluring Climate. Mnt the smallest inducement, which people ot other sections of the country had luring tnem to Oregon, is our ideal climate. It is also worth more than money to know that he can so to sleep secure in the knowledge vvs r . that he is safe from destruction hv earthauakes. such as -have been working so much damage in California, or from death by a holt of lishtning.

That being the case, pernaps your readers mieht be interested in a ittle of our weather here. Ever since the middle 01 April, we have had drouth, partially brok en in July by showers.

The main-building of the Shenandoah Normal College at this place was slightly injured by lightning; tour dwelling houses were struck within as many miles. Numerous trees and telephone poles were shiver ed, and in one place thirty sheep were huddled togetner unaer a tree which was struck and the entire bunch were killed. Quite a number of people were shocked, but I believe none were seriously injured near here. Additional Local. Calling cards for the ladies at the Gazette office. Rev. F. L.
