Registration reopens Sept. 20. Closes for election Oct. 20. Presidential election Nov. 3. A prominent member of the Filipino Assembly, who ha3 been in St. Petersburg studying the Russian douma, has become con vinced that the attitude of the United States towards its depend encies is far better for them than the treatment Russia accords to Finland and Poland. He thinks the Filipinos should go slowly and carefully in the development of legislative autonomy. The recent resolution passed by the assemhly he does not approve, and fears its unfavorable effect on American opinion. The War Department suggested the trip which three Filipinos are now upon as a meas ure of broadening the view of their people by a study of the government of Europe. The plan promises much good for the Fili pinos, for these representative rcen will find that American con trol is greatly to be preferred to that of any European power, and that eventually the independence of their people will be accom plished, which they never could have attained by peaceful meth ods under European domination. The education of the people of the Philippines is a slow process, but it is an uplifting one, and full of promise. The Oregon Ranching and Tim ber Company, with offices in New York City, is the latest land fraud concern to fall into the clutches of Uncle Sam. One E. G. Cooke, the head of the concern, has been arrested at Baker City. The "Company"' offered by circular to locate peo pie upon valuable timber claims of 160 acres, government land, advance money for expense of proving up, etc., and then pay the settler $2,000 for his place. To secure these benefits the cus tomer was required to buy $100 worth of the company's stock. Cooke has the nerve to insist that his methods are perfectly legiti mate, but may change his mind before the federal authorities get through with him. Wich the opening of the deer season there is a rush for hunting licenses in all the game districts. Under the game laws as they now exist the open season for bucks began July 15 and extends to November 1, except in Coos and Curry 'counties, where the season closes October 15. The open season for does begins Sep tember 1 and extends to Novem ber 1. In Coos and Curry coun ties the killing of female deer is prohibited all the year. The bag limit for the season is five deer to each person. And now mechanical ingenuity has evolved a new instrument of torture for suffering humankind a mechanical or automatic vio lin player. It is worked some thing like a typewriter. The price, now, is $1200. but it is Only a question of time when it will be sold on instalments and "within the reach of all," like that other nuisance, the phono graph. Mr. Bryan, immediately after his nomination, made the asser tion that he would not be a can didate for re-election if success ful this time. It will be noticed, however, that the pledge was not very emphatic and several strings may be attached to it. However, it is not apprehended that there will ever be any occasion to refer to it hereafter. A number of Albany people came over Monday night to at tend the meeting of the Com mercial Club that evening. CAUGHT ON THE FLY. Mr. Taft is to be officially noti fied of his nomination on the 28th instant, 'and Bryan will - hear about h:s on the 12th of August. How surprised they will be! The Agricultural Department urges the raising of deer as a productive industry. Venison would sell for as much as beef, and no more need be said of the outlook for profit. Of course it may not have any significance, but the fact remains that Kern, the Bryanocratic can didate for vice president has been twice defeated as a candidate for governor of Indiana. President Roosevelt is appoint ing prominent Filipinos to office as fast as vacancies occur in the Insular Department. If this will not complete the process of as similation the case may be con sidered hopeless. Forest fires are starting early this year- Last week .there was a big one in Lewis county, Wash ington, and this week there is one raging near Whatcom, and rapidly spreading through sev eral square miles of territory. A great many people in Oregon will learn with satisfaction of the new order from the United States Attorney General to the effect that witnesses in the federal courts will in the future receive $3 a day Instead of $1.50 as here tofore. The new rate is allowed the witness from the time he leaves home. An Oakland, Cal., man was re cently fortunate enough te find in the pocket of a dress that had belonged to his deceased wife, two bank books showing deposits to the amount of $27,000. It is said he is the only living man-' who has ever been able to find the pocket in a woman's dress. Ten deaths and a few hundred prostrations from the intense heat was last Sunday's record in New York City. The mercury climbed to 93.7 degrees in the shade. This item will be read with pitying interest by Oregon ians, to whom sweltering days and nights and heat prostrations are entire strangers. There is a great deal of stuff in the papers, says the Homestead, about the overworked farmer- boy that he should have his Saturday afternoon, not be com pelled to work , more than eight hours a day, and so on. That may be all right; but, after all, don't the average boy on the farm have a very good time the year 'round? We think so. The little coasting steamer, Coos Bay, was attacked by a whale the other day, on one of its trips, and for awhile things looked serious. The captain pep pered the whale with his ievol ver, but the latter seemed to en joy it.. Finally he boat pot on more speed and succeeded in out running its assailant and making its escape. A Salem dispatch says: "The Willamette Valley Prune Asso ciation has entered into a con tract for about 200,000 pounds of Italian prunes for London de livery, October or November, up on the basis of 3 cents per lb.,, which is i cent above the con tract basis of last year. This means 5 cents per pound for the 40-50 grade, notwithing the glut in the market of all other varie ties of canned and evaporated fruits. While the prune crop of the state will not come up to that of last year, the latest esti-: mate being between 17,000,000 1 and 18,000,000 pounds, as against about 23,000,000 pounds last year, the quality will be par ex cellence, and the Oregon grower stands in a good way to realize a good profit for his product. Sev eral years ago an experimental shipment of Oregon prunes was made to London and met with such ready sale and gave such satisfaction that there has been an increasing demand for Wil lamette Valley prunes each sue-, ceeding year."

Earl Kumler Bartmess, form erly a popular student at O AC where he was universally known, was married at Hood River, July bth, to Miss Zella .Henkle, charming young lady of that city. The ceremony occurred in the United Brethren church, Rev. H. C. Shaffer of Portland officiating, and was one of the most beautiful and elaborate of the season's weddings. The young couple will reside in Hood River, where the groom is en gaged in the undertaking busi ness and is a rising young busi ness man of that locality. A host of Corvallis friends of the groom extend hearty congratu lations and best wishes for a long and happy wedded life, The hearinsr of reports of offi cers, the adoption of a resolution requesting the Attorney-General to begin condemnation proceed ings for acquiring small tracts of land adjoining the college farm, the installation of an agency for supplying text books to students so 'owest rates will be available, and other routine proceedings constituted the work of the Ore gon Agricultural College regents at the mid-summer meeting,.

It was seven years ago that the Bry ans moved out to Falrview..' At least seven years before that they began planning for it. They used to ride out on the prairie on summer evenings, and there was always one knoll beyond Antelope creek where the sunsets seem ed the loveliest. "Mary," he used to say, "some day when we have money enough we'll have a home' out here." The time arrived when they could buy five acres. Then they bought ten. then fifteen acres. So It grew. la the spring of 1001 when the barn was done they couldn't wait any longer. They moved into it and lived there for the summer while the house was building, says a writer in the Delineator. The family were welcomed to the rural" community by a house warming, for which Uncle Jake marshaled all the neighbors. They took Mrs. Bryan Into their confidence, but It was "a surprise on W. J.," as Uncle Jake tells to this day, with a chuckle. "Me an' my wife got there first, says Uncle Jake. "W. J. had just coma in an' hung his hat on a nail in the kitchen, an he says 'Good evenin', real cordial-like, an' sat down to talk, think In' we'd just dropped In in, neighbor fashion. .Then pretty soon there was the sound of wagon wheels outside. - 'Why, there's more folks comin',' he says In a kind of a bewildered way, his hand feelin' sort o' helplessly at his shirt band. Then they all burst In. 'Well,' he says, reachln' out with that hearty handshake o' his, 'you caught me without a collar.' " From that night on the Bryans were naturalized citizens of the place. Their house- is far the finest of any in the community, but not so you'd feel it that way at an. The Farmers' club when it meets there is as much at home as in the humblest cottage. And when Mr. Bryan sits down to the grand piano and turns on the pianola attach ment and sayB, just as common as any body, "Now let's have some music; what'll it be?" why, that makes every body feel right well acquainted. Some body says, "Let's have Pentecostal ovmn No. '3. W x AFTER FAG DAY. Fair Maid Went to Church With Ready Made Suit Ticketed. That pride goeth before a fall is very often proved, but seldom more ludi crously than in the true tale about to be related. A certain impetuous maiden went to church one Sunday recently in a new ready made suit. It had been deliv ered late on Saturday, and as she had been so well satisfied with its perfec tion at the last fitting and was also very tired she did not try it 00. She slept late on Sunday morning and had barely time to put on her blouse and skirt, eat breakfast and rush up to don hat and coat. She saw several people look at her attentively and decided her new rig was 8 hit Presently she enter ed the church and had sailed . up the aisle only a few steps when the usher, who was a friend, asked her to please step back a moment. She supposed it was something connected with church work of which- he- wished to speak, so Imagine her surprise when he asked" if shs' didn't think it a little too subse quent to' be celebrating tag day. With that he produced a pocketknife and separated her from the- "tag" which had hung fromi the" back of her necic and which relatted' with exactness her bust measure, the- price of the suit and' other accurate information. She- didn't know whether to be most disgusted with the figure- she had al ready cut or thankful at having been saved from sitting: out the service thus Senfon County Lumber Co.
