COMPLIMENTS ORKG0N. Ad Illinois Editor Says the People Were the Grandest Objects He Saw. The sweetest memory we newspaper people bave of oar visit to the west, and the one that will stay with us longest is the gracious weloome we reoeived all along our western journey. In a matter of this kind comparison would be odious nor oan any contrast be made where all onr friends were hospitable beyond ... . I u meaiure. Oar entertainment uegnn ue. fore we entered the state of Oregon, and oontinued without interruption through Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, the British Northwest, Manitoba and Minnesota; and the last reception and banquet at St. Paul was as kind ana generous as the first one in Uregon. For instanoe, the people of Oregon met our train beyond their state line; they brought a oarloBd of delicious fruits of various kinds, delicious drinks ana cigars and all, of oourae, were as free to us as the air we breathed. This sort of entertainment was kept up for several days one banquet following auotber along a tour of some 1200 miles through the state, and until we were oompelled to take reluctant leave of our generous friends. Was there ever before anything like it? The grandest thing we saw in all the west was tbe people of the west. After all it is the people who make a oountry what it i3 that is, they make it great or small, generous or mean, inviting or re pelling. Hearts are more than moun tains, miad more than scenery and wel oome more than climate. As time rolle on we my forget the bot and dusty des ert, the oharming v.illeys, and rushing rivers, the foaming oataracts aud the mountain orRgs, but time will not last long enough to dim our memory of the kind and generous treatment we re oeived from our western friends.

Wallaoe, allege! nurse thief, confined in the county jw since last July, dun through the stone wall and made his escape between the hours of 3 and 4 last Sunday morning Young Wallaoe was arrested for horse stealing near Prairie City last July and bound over to appear Deiore me grsnu jury this fall. Not being able to furnish bonds be was oonfined in the county jail to await bia trial. Last Saturday sveniug, as was custo mary, Deputy Sheriff Short let out the two prisoners, Wallaoe ana agers, io iret in their wood tat - the toVlowing day. When tbey returned to the jail, Wallaoe, instead of entering tbe cell for the night, slipped around bshiod tbe cell and answered to bis name as usual when spoken to by Deputy Short. The oell was looked for tbe night a usual; bat when the sheriff oame around in tbe mornig be found one ot his pris oners bad escaped. From what oould be learned from Agere, it seems Wallaoa oommenoed operations between 10 and 11 o'olook and esoaped between 3 and 4 in tbe morning. He bad looseod the stone work near tbe barred wiudow on tbe loutb side and removed a few rooks, leaving an opening large enough to crawl through. Tbe work must have been done with the help of a oaseknite, or some mental instrument. Tbe sheriff bag offered a reward of $50 for Ibe arrest of Wallaoe. He answers to the followiog description! Height, 5 feel 10 inches; weight, 160 pounds; brown hair, smooth shaved, blue eyes; wore dark olotbes. He is a oowboy by profession. Canyon Oily News. Chamber of Commerce Their Support. The Dalles Chronicle. Tbe stockmen of Oregon will bave the support of the Portland Chamber or Oommercs in their effirt to hold the Cascade forest reserve for grazing pur poses. Support was pledged at a meet ing of the trustees Tuesday morning. A committee ot the Oregon Woolgrowers' Assooiation, beaded by J. N. Williamson of Prineville, conferred with the trus tees aud convinced them that grazing in the reserve would not be injurious to tree lite, would not deorease the water supply, and that the danger of fire re sulted from the pasturage ot stock in the reserve is too small to ba considered. Other members of the committee were: Geo. A. Yonog, ot The Dalles, president ot tbe Oregon Woolgrowers' Association; A. A. Bonney.of Tygh Valley; D. M. French and Judge Robert Mays, of The Dalles; Ex Governor Z F. Moody, H,m. John Minto, of Salem, Stute Dairy Com mission J. W. Bailey and Dr. Jamw Witboombe, of the Oregon Agricultural college, attended at the request of the assooiation. Trustees of the Chamber of Commeroe presant were: Geo. Taylor, Jr., who presided, Henry Haho, R Liv ingstoo and Geo. Lawerenoe. No order ezoludiug stookoion from the Gasoade reserve has been issus.l. S'ook- men havinir been ordered out of tbe Rainier reserve, in Washington, it is be lieved that an order closing the Casoade reserve will not bs long in foitlioming For this reason Oregoa woolgrowors de cided to begin a campaign against the issuance of the order, rather than ojb forthe revooation ot the order hfter it had been issued. In his SDeeob before the tn4otio Mr. Minto said : "About 300,000 sheep are summered a I 3 on the eastern slope ot tne oisuano mountains near the desert. That desert is inhabitable only because of tbe range facilities afforded to the inhabitants. The eastern sloDe ot the Oasondes is more valuable for grazing than for tim her. It is valueless so fares timoer is concerned Tbe timber there is not merchantable. Tbe Amerioao Forestry Association demands tbe reservation and withdrawl from sale all lands oon taining timber. The state of Oregon has a 5 per cent interest in the sale of all government land sold within her borders. It the American Forestry As sociation wins its poiot on the with drawal of the timber lands in this state from sale, where is Oregon going to get its 5 ner oent? Would not snob a with drawal be a violation of tbe o impiot be tween tbe United States and tbe state of Oretfon? I think the Uuitel States should give this land to O.egoo, to be rented or leased or sold, in order that tbe state may get tbe income from it to which it is entitled. Oregooian It is very gratify;ng to our Bheepmen to feel that they bave the oo-operation of anah a bod of men as those of the Chamber of Oomineroa of the metrop olis. Boat Surprints Even tier Host Sanguine Friends. By the Associated I'resB. New Yobk, Oct. 16 The yaobts were jockeying about the start with jibs, mainsails and topsails when tbe warning gun was fired. The boats bad so timed themselves that both crossed within a minute aud almost together, tbe Sham rock with a slight advantage' Promptly at 11 o'clock the starting gun was fired and immediately the Columbia's jib top sail was broken out. The raoers were then close to the liue aud as she triuied the main sail aft more. Captain Burr worked bis beat ont across the Sham rock's steru and was in better position. On the beat down to the outer mark the Columbia out pointed and outfooted Ibe Shumrook and gained on every taok. She turned the stake boat nine minutes and 47 Beconds adeud of the Sbamrook. The official time of the turn was: Oulum bia, 1:43:49; Shamrook, 1:52:06. Barr did bis turn in a ttioe aud as he started tn go around tbe Columbia's soioaker boom went down on the in stant. There were loud ehouta of joy from tbe wutohers as she started for home. All they had to do was to ease off her bubc's. After tbe shamrock had rounded the outer mark her lighter oan- vss was broken out in good shipshape fashion and, one and a half miles lo tbe rear, set after tbe Columbia, homeward bound. The official time at the finish was: Columbia, 3:51:59; Shamrock, 4:05:10. Tbe result is a oomplete v'ctory for the American boat, the American skipper and the American crew. The Columbia surprised even those who kuew ber best. At no time after ehe began to pull away to wina7'rd, ten miuutes after the start ing gun was fired, was tbe first race of the series in doubt. lNTfcHKtmNG TO L1VK8TOCK GROWERS. THE. ART OF BREWING.

Dewey's famous dis patch boat, tbe MoCullooh, wbiob fired tbe first shot against tbe Spaniards at Manila, Is in Portland harbor, and is ipen lo all visitors. Tha mammoth Len aox is also in the harbor, being refitted m a transport to go to the Philippines.

Furtherf any section Must he Settlement of the Question of Hand- - I mi? Public limine Lands. In sucoinet manner, strikingly and yet by no means going beyond the aotnnl truth, a ptookman makes the followiog statement regarding the range quectiou, whioh is being widely disousssed now. James Jones, of Pendleton, in talking of tbe matter, said to the East Oregooian : All the outside range between Pen- diet on uud Burns is gone. There is practically no grass, and it is becoming diffloult for cattle aud sheepmen to find plaoes in which they oan graza their bands." By outside range Mr. Jones means all range outside the pastures and wbicb is oommonly oall'ed publioaiige. "" " "Daring the past summer," continued Mr. Jones, "I have been through tbe interior oountry several times, and have gone as far as Bums. The grans is practically all eaten off, and only in the pasture lands is there any consider able amount of feed. It is constantly a struggle among livrfstookmea to get feed for tbe bands. In tbe spring, the eff irt is to get into the mountains first, and to reach the highest mountain where the freshest grass will be(andin the fall it is the effort to got out first in order to get the best feed whiTa driving to winter quartets. "Something will have to ba done to adjust the range question. I can see trouble ahead unless this is done. But in doing it 1 Want to say that the gov ernment should be so framed that it will lie impoHfiible for the rich man to secure ontrol. It is not in a spirit of prejudice against the rioher men that I speak, but it stands to reason that, unless the pro posed new law is not carefully drawn, tbe more influential ones will be aiven ao advantnge, and be able to get hold of tbe bulk of the grB.ing lands, and then Ibe smaller stookraen will be at their mercy. "This is one of tho most important matters ever brought to the attention ot our publld men. By the passage of a law giving all people equal rights, tbe cattle and sheep queatiou may be settled so as to work jimtioe to all. Or, on the other hand the rankest injustice could be wrought, "The best argument for eome form of leasing, and putting a stop to the indis criminate use of the gracing lands, is this very fact all the outside range be tween Pendleton and Burns is gone, ouly the arass in pasture tract being good any longer. This proves that if all the land be placed under some system of leasing, so that someone will be inter ested personally io preserving it ror future line, there would be feel on it all." Among stockmen nowadays, one bears quite oonhtiint discussion of this ques tion, and it seems likely to beoome an issue thai must be taken into account at the coming election, Candidate will have to expeercise some care that their position be clear on this importaut question. STRANGE VISITORS. Flocks of Wild Geese Lost in a Storm Alight on B.'iker's Streets. Baker City Republican. "Did you get a goose?" That was the question heard on all sides this morning, as business men passed eaob other on their way to store or cflioe. The small boye of sporting proclivities were almost wild, and at an early hour started out for game more attractive than school books. Tbe oooasion of all tbe oom motion was tbe visit to Baker City last Wednesday night of a large Hock ot wild geese and brant. About 7 o'clock laBt evening a light rain fell, which was soon followed by a heavy, wet snow lasting till midnight. The weather had turned oold the first of tbe week, and flocks of geese began coming from tbe far rjortb to Malheur lake, Harney oounty, which is now cov ered with millions of birds. Just before 8 o'olook last evening the loud oroaking ot thousands of these birds was beard above the oity. Muoh to the surprise of the hundreds of people on the streets, the flocks seemed to remain stationary and the birds evidently in distress, as they appeared to be circling round and round. The storm continued to increase, and there soon oooured one ot the strangest phenoraenas ever witnessed in Oregon, and seen but a few timea any where in the United States. It was evident that the geese bad be come lost in the storm while searching for their feeding ground, and attracted by the lights of the brilliantly illuminated oity were unable to get away from it, as a bluebird is fasoinated by a rattlesnake. Tbeir wings soon packed with tbe heavy anow, and exhausted beyond endurance, they oommenoed dropping from tha clouds into the streets, the noise of tbeir squawking being almost deafening. Then oommenced a wild scramble, men and boys joined in the sport. Geese or brant were picked np on everyside alive, and it was notioed that amongst the game birds were all kinds of birds known to Oregon, that had got mixed up with the geese. Boys went out on the bills and built bonfires, whioh attracted some of the birds to tbem and they seoured a dozen or more this way. Others took their shotguns and killed a large number. Early this morning hunting parties went out, as geese were still fly ing. One large flook in the shape ot a triple wedge with the points interlaced, was observed about daybreak and was muoh admired. Half a doawn of the live birds oaptured last night are on exhibition io LeviDger'a window. They seem quite tame ia their captivity. It is probable that hundreds of geese were captured last night and this morning in" Uaker City, an event that will loug be remembered by those who witnessed last night's wild scenes- The Wheat Trade. Commercial Review The wheat market during tbe past week baa been fory lively. Farmers and dealers in the oountry bave been freer sellers at ruling prices. That holders are disposed to accept current values is oouflrraed by constant selling. Receipts are very large, and are going on board ship rapidly of-lute; and, in spite of tbe lare amount of tonnage in port, in do oase nas mere neen any ubibj, cui there likely to be any. Indeed, exporters are muoh pleased that selling is so liber al, and hBve been enoouraged to take up several spot vesBelH, with flattering pros pects that a great many more ships are euronte. Eastern Oregon aud Washing ton are selling very freely; the valley ti bIbo olI'-M-ing, but not in as great propor tions. Harvesting is about flnistied an over the Northwest, and from tbe best obtainable advices there will be iol'y 55 per oent of the crop of 1 W VM0 sold as No. 1, The Palouse section of Idaho aud the eastern part of Washington have the best quality of wheat, aod yieldd will be very large. A large portion of the crop will grade No. 2 and No. 3, aud fully 10 per cent that was shriveled and wet will sell as feed. Farmers in the interior all claim that tbey will sell on the basis of 50 cents at their respective railroad poiote. This means wheat win have to bring from Ulo to 04c per bunbel In Portland, but a great many are taking ruliDg prices. The orop of this season will fall short of that of tbe previous year; but, with the large carry-over, there will bo just as muoh wheat. The main difficulty exporters will have is to obtain tonnage at fair remunerative prioes, lo pay prices demanded. From the way wheat iff coining in, most of tbe crop ot No. 1 wheat will bo disposed of before the new year. Oreat diilicully will be bad in deciding the quality of wheat that tests from 43 to 54 pounds per buKbel. Plenty of this in m mo country.
