God is known in her palaces for a refuge except in . August. How amiable are Thy taber nacles except in August. My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord except in August. Preach the Gospel to every creature except in August. Preach the Word. Be instant in season and out of season ex cept in August. Not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together except in August. " . ".. - . They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine and fellow ship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers except in Aug ust. Shipping Fruit. It has been demonstrated that fruit for long shipments will keep much better if cooled be fore being put into the refriger ator car. This cooling of the fruit " has entailed much extra work, as in many cases it is necessary to haul it to a cold storage plant first. Pomologist Taylor of the ag ricultural department at Wash ington has been atwork on this problem, says an exchange. Up on recommendation the Govern ment is now constucting at Chi cago a refrigerating kind ot machine. Upon the car is an oil-burning engine and a refriger ating plant which operates by the ammonia process and a sys tem of tans for forcing: blasts of cold air through cars of fruit, The refrigerating car will be put next to a car loaded with fruit and the cold blasts will be sent through the fruit car for some 24 hours. Then the car containing the fruit will be iced. and sent ou its way rejoicing. Will Hire Japs. In the event of an alarming shortage in available hop pickers this season, the hop growers are thinking serously of resorting- to Japanese coolie labcr as a solut ion to the problem. This same condition will apply to the prune grower, a great many of whom are already placing themselves on the safe side by contracting for Japanese pickers, that is a certain percentage of the number requir ed, in order to protect themselves from an emergency which may arise. - : , Thus far there is 1 no particular indication of a shortage of pick ers, especially for prunes, and many of the growers have al ready contracted for their help at 6 cents per bushel, while in a few instances as high as 7 cents may have to be paid, Uinpqua VaL ley Record.

No. 3. 69-72 HE IS STILL DRUNK And Upset the Lamp ' . land Is. -Where Hy Persons about town have fre quently been heard to ask "What ever became of Hyland?" and an item in the Telegram, Thursday nighty throws some light on the subject. Hyland is the painter wno t :ied to drink Corvallls dry before it became a dry town, who was once upon a time languish ing Ir the county jail for drunk euness and when offered his free donl if he would leave Corvallls promptly replied, "Go to I'll stay in jail first" The Telegram savs: ' . . - -. . - "Prompt work by Patrolman Wanless last night probably sav ed W. H. Hyland from burning to death . in his room at 183 J Fourth - street,: where he had kicked over a lamp and was too much intoxicated to help himself. "In the street below Wanless saw flames leaping up before the window, and with a man he call to help him, rushed up the stair way and pounded on the door. Hyland could not even let them in.; Wanless broke down the door and threw the contents of a pitcher of water on the flames. They, had gained good headway but he went at them with rugs and bed clothes till they were completely smothered. Hyland did not realize that his life had been saved. In the same building, a lodg ing house, were many sleeping People at the time. : They were profuse in their gratitude to the quick-thinking policeman when they learned what he had done." The "Rest Room" Idea. Forty merchants ot Baker City h?.ve - agreed to give $2.50 per month each for the next two years, for the maintenance of a rest room for farmers. Here is a movement well worth emulating b" merchants ot all cities and towns where the farmers' trade is particularly sought after. Merchants who know every nook and corner of the town can hardly realize how lost country people feel when they go to town They are entirely out of their element, and most of them are like fish out of water. They have no place to sit down and rest and no place to meet each other, no place to take care of the demands of nature. They wear tnemselves out carrying their wraps and purchases around and as a result are in a great hur ry to get out of town again. Make it easy for them to rest, and make them feel at home, and they will stay longer, spend more ironey and come oftener,, says the Oregoa City Enterprise with truth. The rest room, if properly managed, will take all th" dread out of a trip to town, and once your country people cease dread ing a trip to town they will come oftener, and as they become more and more in touch with city ways their wants will spread out over a wider range ot goods, and they will become better customers. A Good Trade. j Every boy, no matter bow rich or bow poor his ancestry, should learn thorough ly sdme good trade, so that if his circum stances become reversed at any time he could immediately do service at bis trade and start again on a successful road to prosperity. The printing trade is not only ' artistic when completely learned, but it is also highly educational in every particular, and one of the beat trades that anyone can learn, as . opportunity for labor is ever ready each working day in the year." -' There is one of the uest opportunities in a'l the land for a young man cf steady habits, good principles, . well educated' having a will to work and excel, to learn the printing trade in the Gazette office.

A matter of genernl interest to breeders of live stock is the cattle sale which will probably be held in connection with the Greater Oregon State Fair (Sept. 16-24) at Salem. This sale will give the live stock men an opportun tiy to buy some fine animals, aud the same time dispose of their surplus stock to the best ad vantage. A competent auc tioneer will be secured by the Fair management, and sales will be made on the lowest per cent commission possible. Each breed er will be limited to a consign ment of fifteen animals, that re striction being placed iu order to give a chance to profit by the sale. The entire consignment willcon sist of about sixty head of ShorU horns, thirty head of Herefords, and fifty head of aii other breeds. This sale is being arranged partly for the benefit of the California breeders, who have promised to come north to exhibit, providing they can have a chance to con vert some of their fine stock into cash.
