And Tell our Eaatern Friends all About the Superior Oppor tunltlea we Poiicii On April 29th last the Oregonian published a special industrial edition devoted exclusively to the exploitation of Oregon. It probably contained more special and miscellaneous information about Oregon than any one publication thatT has ever been issued. It Is peculiarly useful and valuable to the bomeseeker, because it gives the latest and moet reliable information about so many different subjects that the home seeker is naturally interested in. Al most every department of industry is bpecialized, and both descriptive and statistical information of a highly valuable character is given exclusively and in entertaining form. Residents of Oregon who know its advantages as compared with the con gested and depleted East, and who still have friends back there whom thev would like to see here enjoying the good things cf ttiia favored state, can aid in a sn'endid woik now without cost and very little effort. If you think your friend would be interested iin know ing more about Oregon and might eventually become a valuable citizen, send bis name and address to the general passenger agent of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, and a copy of this special edition, with a com plete summary of the several subjec s treated, carefully indexed, will be mail ed to him promptly. In this manner you may be the means Dot only of doing your friend a good turn, bat of helping to stimulate the growth and prosperity of Oregon. Don't forget that commencing September 1st and "continuing daily for two months, tickets will be on sale at almost every railroad station in the East to all points in Oregon and the North west at what has come to be popularly known as "colonist rates." These rates are the cheapest general long distance rates ever established, and enable one to reach Oregon from any part of the United States at but a trifle more than one cent a mile. Tney are the greatest incentive. to colonization and progressive home building of any known agency, and;if the restless, dissatisfied lesident of the East is made to know before-hand the advantages he can enjoy here, the problem is solved, and the star of the empire will continue to move steadily westward. Now is the time to spread the gospel of Oregon, bo that it may-be heard and headed by the time the rate go into effect. Send one name or two, or a dozen, and 70a will be exerting a worthy influence toward; the upbuilding of our state. Send thereto your nearest Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co. agent, or to Wm. MoMurry, General Passenger Agent, Portland, Oregon.

FOR A RAILROAD O. R. & N. Would Build to Heppner Coal Fields. When Owner Agree to Develop !TIlnes and mine 250 Ton per Day. Facing a serious shortage in coal supplies, the Harriman lines in this territory are investigating every Known coal prospect of merit within the state. An expert is now traveling over the entire state and is testing the coal properties of Oregon with a view to encouraging their development, says the Oregoniau. The Harri man lines are vitally interested for thev are hard put to it to secure fuel supplies for the Oregon and Washington lines, and will them selves be the heaviest purchasers of coal from the mines of the two states. When asked as to the probability ot aiding the Heppner coal fields by building a line to the fields, Mr. O'Brien said his company has al ready made a proposition to provide transportation v for the Heppner mines whenever the owners would guarantee the production of 250 tons a day. He 6aid he believed this output is reasonable as coal mines of any value can easily .'pro duce this tonnage. The trouble with much of coal which seeks railroad facilities, he said, is that while the coal is suitable for domestic purposes, it is unsuited to making steam. Kirk Jones, a notorious burglar, was recently caught in Boston. He is wanted in many cities. He was identified by a mangled hand which resulted from a gunshot wound re ceived in Portland, Oregon, many years ago. The management of the Burl ington ranroaa, alter ZU years of opposition, has recognized the Brotherhood of Locomotive "Engineers and has signed the first wage scale with that organization since tne great strike of the engineers on the Burlington in 1885. West and Miller are drilling a 10-inch artesian well in the rail road yards at Ontario for the O. R & N. fcompany. They now have the well to a depth of 400 feet, the formation being similar to that at LaGrande, where they drilled a well. If they are successful in securing an overflow, the city will have one drilled at once. Held up by four men at Forbes street and Sixth avenue in the heart of the shopping district of Pittsburg, Pa., about 9 o'clock in the evening, J. H. Zimmerman, aged 24 years, of Carrick, shot and killed one of his assailants, Edward Shields. The other men lied, but one was arrested hclf an hour after the shooting. Ue gave his name as Jack McCart' of Chicago. John Calberg, a lineman, was electrocuted while at his work at Portland. The Portland Railway, Light & Power company insists that he died of heart failure and that lie did not pet a shock that would kill. Including Calberg, six linemen have either been electro cuted at their work or have "just died" as is claimed in the Calberg instance, during the past 14 months in Portland. W. R. Journey is journeying in southeastern Oregon, making alleged preliminary railroad surveys. READY FOR CHINESE Trouble Coming When Empress Dies. Strong rieet In the Pacific Would Have Powerful Influence With Mongol. WASHINGTON, Aug 4 It is China, and not even remotely Japan, that has aroused the concern of the Washington authorities in conneotion with choosing the Pacific as the next practice ground for a big battleship squadron, according to the deductions of soma 6tudnts of affairs in the Far East. China as an entity, it is believed in certain circles, is in a condition as precarious as the health of the Dowager Empress, and when the failing health of the latter leaus to us inevitaDie ena tne empire will face a crisis that will make it wise for the United States to have a presentable naval force within easy sailing distance. Little regarding the situation sug gested by the above statement has been spoken in official or diplomatic circles, but commercial interests profess to have been keen observeas of what is going on. Jtrom sources connected with the latter comes the report that some time ago the administration was quietly apprised that the health of the Dow ager Empress was failing fast and that when she goes to join "the guests on high" China will become the prey or plotters seeking to overthrow the Man- chu Tartar dynasty. At the same time the powers are deemed likely to take' advantage ot the situation again by going in for a par tition of the empire, the Dossible clos- ng of the open door that means so much to America, and toward securing which in the Far East America states men have accomplish d so much. Whateyer happens, the possible at tempt to seize the government by a strong leader outside the present dy nasty, or the exbrting of the influence of the same leadjr and others to re store the descendants of the old Ming family to the throne, the chances are several to one that the powers will find an excuse to get into the game to subserve their own interests. It has been pointed out that when trouble comes the nation that has the strongest navy in Pacific waters will be likely to have the most influence with China. Knowledge that a crisis might be reached at any time, and in all proba bility was not to be delayed beyond a comparatively few months, is believed by many to have had a great deal to do in determining the plana for send ing the battleship squadron to the Pa cific as soon as possible. If this un derstanding of the situation be correct, it would be impossible, of course, to get the Government authorities to admit the real purport of the naval movement at this stage of the proceedings. That there is sooner or later to be a big mix-up over China is the firm be lief of those whose private business affairs on a large scale embrace the territory within the empire. America's commercial interests will demand, when such time comes, that it exert a strong influence with the Chinese statesmen and political leaders. Though there are forests on three sides of Albany, about 100 carloads of fuel wood will be shipped into this city this Summer by rail. Wood prices have reached a point far beyond any former prices for fuel in this city and residents are finding it prod table to Becure their wood at Gates, Detroit and other mountain points along the Corvallis x Eastern Railroad, and ship it in by the carload. Wood prices have rifen 50 per cent over last year's prices here and have doubled in the past two years .0:1 most kinds of wood. There is no oak wood on the mat ket here at prices less than $6 per cord. Big fir is selling for 85.50 per cord and small fir fiom 84 to $5, depending on the size and quality. A lady in Xew York recently died at the age of 107 years. She ascribed her longevity to the fact that she ate onions three times a day during her life and never worried about anything. Possibly she never worried but it is likely that the people around her did. 50 BUSHELS TO ACRE This is the Average for a Large Field. winnariBroi, are Harvesting Of Acre That Will .Tluke Phe nomenal Yield. Winnard Brs. are now harvest ing with a combine, 400 acres of wheat that is holding up with the phenomenal average ef 50 bushels to the acre. There is no guess work about it for the acrenge is taken from -careful measurements and wheifc actually threshed. The filed is uniform all over and good judges of wheat say that tha entire 400 acres will go 50 bushels to the acre. What is the matter with Morrow county? How about Morrow county's cheap wheat lands? Sell ing for only $15 to 20 to the acre and producing 50 bushels of Xa. 1 wheat to the; acre. This is certainly not asking any odds of the far famed Umatilla or, the great Palouse wheat belt. Rainmaker Again Employed. If Sherman county does not hav enough rain next year it will not be because the farmers are not trying. Chas. M. Hatfield, a new rainmaker, has been in the Deschutes country ex perimenting this year. The result w so gratifying to the farmers that he Lai been hired again next year. It la not by the old method of bom barding the sky until rain falls that tb precipitation is produced, but bv combination of chemical and electrical influences. It is an infallible method, its inventor claims. Ke made 6v9 demonstrations in Sherman county which makes the entire number of his experiments 48. Not one has failed to produce rain, says Mr. Hatfield. He operated in Sherman county root May 28 to July 25 this year. Normally the rainfall in that section is little more than half an inch daring that period. Hatfield claims to be responsible for the increase this year, which raised tha fall to 2 2 inches, an increase of 25J per cent. Next year be will begin bis work in this country on May 1 and continue until July 10. The nsual rainfall for this time of year is one inch. If he in creases this one inch he gets 8 1000 r anf if another half inch or more, be geta $1500. O. W. Amey, of Crow creek, Wallowa county, has just soli 1500 ewes to Stickney & German, of Joseph, at $1 per head and 1509 lambs to the same parties for $2.53 per head. This is the highest price yet paid in this country for stock sheep and few bands are foe sale even at these figures. Amer also sold an alfalfa ranch for 70 per acre to the parties who pur chased his sheep.
