ITeppner ought to have a com
mercial club or improvement asso
ciation. Now would be a good
time to organize.
Oregon farmers have money to
burn and the hop men have money
to throw away. A polk county
hop man recently threw away
$100 in nickels just to see children
scramble for them. Looks like
prosperity.
Attorney-General Blackburn has
rendered an opinion to Governor
Geer, in which he holds that the
initiative and referendum amend
meut is now in effect, and that the
people can avail themselves of its
provisions, without any legislation
prescribing a mode of procedure
other than that prescribed by the
amendment itself.
H. W. Corbett, president of the
Lewis and Clarke Fair, at a recent
meeting of the ways and means
committee, said if the people of
Oregon would not give 500,000
the proposition of holding the
1905 fair should be considered no
farther. The people of Oregon
should carefully consider this
matter of appropriation for the
fair would be of great benefit to
Oregon.
The enterprising town of Wes
ton, Oregon, has an association
known as the Weston Improve
ment Association. It is an organ
ization in which the people get to
gether and woik for the advance
ment of Weston. Weston is a
live town, made so by its enter
prising residents and backed up
by natural advantages. Many
other towns in Oregon would do
well to follow the example of Weston.
The Chinese government's latest
census of the population of China
proper gives the number of in
habitants as about 426,000,000
souls, which is only 13,000,000
more than the Chinese figures for
1842. The Chinese figures for
1882 were 380,000,000. China
proper is less than half as large as
the United States without Alaska,
and yet it contains as many people
as the whole of Europe, and nearly
?ix times as many as there are in
the United States. If the whole
f the population of the United
States and 40,000,000 more were
crowded into the state of Texas,
the density of population would
not equal that of the Yang-tse
Valley and of the plain extending
north and south between the lower
courses of the "Yang-tse and the
Hoang Rivers Ex.
It is estimated that there are
03,000,000 sheep in the United
states. It is also estimated that
shoddy wool to an amount that
equals the fleeces of forty million
of these Bheep is being used in this
country. The public does not real
ize the extent of the shoddy wool
fraud. Old woolen goods from the
rag piles, from the hospitals, the
asylums, the pesthouses, every
where are gathered up by the rag
men and sold to these concerns and
they are worked over and the rot
ten, infected fibre is mixed with
pure wool and made into wearing
apparel and sold to the public
The woolgrowers will at-k the next
congress to pass a law compelling
all who engage in the manufacture
of woolen goods from shoddy ma
terial to mark their goods "shod
dy," the tame as oleomargarine is
marked. It is claimed that infec
tious diseases are transferred over
the country through the sale of
shoddy goods. Ex.
A receut bulletin of the United
States Geological Survey, gives
facts as to the great extent of the
Cascade Range Forest Reserve.
The area of the reserve, including
the recent additions, is 7,254 square
miles. It is the largest of all the
reserves, extending from Columbia
River on the north southward to
the California boundary. The to
tal area of the reserve is 4,883,588
acres, of which 4,161,70-4 acres, or
85 per cent, are forested; only 8
per cent., or one acre in twelve and
one-half, is burned; only 5 per
cent., or one acre in twenty, is
open country; and one per cent, of
the land consists of barren rocks,
ice, etc., the remaining one per
cent, consisting of water Burface
and of logged and cultivated land.
The total stand of timber upon
the reserve slightly exceeds 50,000
million feet B. M., or enough to
supply the U. S. for a year and
a-half. Upon the west of the Cas
cade Range red fir forms 63 per
cent, of all the timber. East of
the range yellow pine constitutes
37 per cent, of the timber. The
average stand of timber upon the
timbered area of the reserve is 8,
200 feet per acre.

It has Come to tlie Front.
The rapidity with which the Disc Gra
phophone has come to the front is due to
the fact that the quality of the records
hai been constantly improved, from the
time this type of machine began to be
made by the Columbia Thonograph
Company, the pioneers and leaders in
the talking machine art. The advant
ages of flat, thin and indestructible re
cords toere always recognized but the
manufacturers who attempted to make
them failed so lamentably in producing
anything to compare with the cylind
rical records used on the eraphone that
the demand for them was uni i portant.
All that is changed; the -Columbia Disc
Records are a delight. If vou haye not
heard them you can form no idea of the
advance that has been made in them.
The disagreeable scratch and the
muffled effect has been replaced by a
smoothness, naturalness and brilliancy
which gives to their reprodution a most
charming effect.
The Disc Graphophone is made in three
types, selling at $15, 20 and $30. Seven
inch records 5oc each, $5 per dozen; 10
inch records $1 each, $10 per dozen.
TheGraphopbone and Columbia records
were awarded the Gand Prize at the
Paris Exposition of 1900.
The Columbia Phonograph Company,
125 Geary Street, San Francisco, head
quatere for Graphophones and talking
machine supplies of every kind.willsend

The mountains of Douglas and
Coos counties are said to be full of
deer and a great number are be
