Taking Timber Land.
Prairie City, Ore., July 31. Never in
the history of this section of the coun
try was there such activity in the mak
ing of timber locations as there is at
present. The woods are full of timber
cruisers and all the available tracts are
being taken. This is among the best
timber sections of the interior, and
lands are eagerly sought.
Probably the keenness with which
the timber men are after the lands here
is largely due to the fact that there is
every indication of a railroad beiog con
structed into this section in the near
future. Through this fact business of
all kinds is rapidly improving.
The railroad situation is exceptionally
bright. The Sumpter Valley road is be
ing extended to Austin, about 15 miles
from Prairie City. Near Austin a new
townsite is being located, and indica
tions are that a lively town will spring
up thete. It is rumored the road will
soon be extended on in this direction,
being hraded for Canyon City.

Committee
Rome, Aug. 4. Cardinal Sarto. pa
triarch of Venice, who was elected pope
to succeed Leo XIII, now reigns at the
Vatican and over the Catholie world as
Pius X. Tonight all Rom-3 is Illuminat
ed in his honor.
His election and the assumption of
his holy office were marked by a strik
ing demonstration and impressive cere
monies at the Vatican, which ended
only this evening. Tomorrow the new
pope, clad in his new pontifical robes,
and with all the ritualistic ceremony,
will receive the members of the diplo
matic corp", the cardinals and the
bishops, who will then offer their official
homage, this notwithstanding the fact
that twice today the cardinal aud many
high officials of the Vatican went
through a similar ceremony.
The date on which the coronation of
Pius X will take place has not yet been
decided, but the impression prevails
that it will take place on August !).

An announcement which will startle
the scientific world is made by Dr. T. N.
Snow of Baker City. He claims that he
has discovered the love microbe as the
result of years of research and study,
and much of the material upon which
Dr. Scow bases his investigation and
research was found in a trip to the larger
cities of Europe.
After 10 years of work he thought he
had discovered the microbe. This wbs
tlnee years ago in Berlin, Germany.
His further research at that time was
blocked by lack of a proper microscope.
It took two years to make the instru
ment and another year of study has re
suited in the important discovery. The
microscope cost Dr. Scow $!l,0f0, and
is a wondei fill instrument.
The love microbes are of the member
movement and in general apprarance
resembles the microbe common to con
tagious diseases. Dr. Snow has dis
covered that its frequent lodgment in
the brain Las been the causa of many
suicides and deaths. The microbe vacil
lates from one poition of the body to
another many hundreds of times faster
than any other microbe known to med
ical science. This accounts for the late
ness of the discover-. A company has
been incorporated with headquarters in
New York and Berlin for further re
search.

A comparative novelty in the line of
insurance prevails in Denmark, in which
country if a sum approximating $200 is
deposited with an insurance company
on behalf of a girl at birth she becomes
entitled, if unmarried at 30 years of age
to receive an annuity of nearly $35,
which is increased by $25 every 10
years. In case sbe marries before the
age of 30, the original amount deposited
is returned to her. If she dies before
attaining that age there is a provision in
the policy that makes available a sum
of from $30 to $35 toward her funeral
expenses.
