And Tell our Eastern Friends all About tbe Superior Oppor tunities we Possess. 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 that has ever been issued. It Is peculiarly useful and valuable to the homeseeker, because it gives the latest and most reliable information about so many different subjects that the home seeker is naturally interested in. Al most every department of industry is specialized, 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 se9 here enjoying the good things of this favored state, can aid in a splendid work now without cost and very little euort 11 you think your friend would be interested in know ing more about Oregon and might eventually become a valuable citizen, send his name and address to tbe general passenger agent of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, and a copy of this special edition, with a com. plete summary of the several subjects troaiou, care.uny maexeu, wui oe man- oa iu uiui promptly, in tois manner I A- I 1 A 1 you may be the means cot only of doing your ineuu a gooa lorn, dui oi neiping to stimulate the growth and prosperity of Oregon. Don't torget 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 bnt a trifle more than one cent a mile. Tney are the greatest incentive, to colonization and progressive home building of any known agency, andlif the restless, dissatisfied resident of the East is made to know before-hand the advantage, he can enjoy here, the problem is solved, and the star of the empire will continue to move steadily westward. Now is tbe time to spread the gospel of Oregon, so that it may be heard and headed by the thae the rates go into effect.

It Raid in substance that tbe Master Horse- shoers' Protective Association had re qnpsted tbe assistance of the district attorney in enforcing the law of the Htate as laid down in section 1968 of the code. This section, among other things, prohibits, arduous toil or any other kind to be carried on durin,'the hours of Sunday. Accordinkly the dis trict attorney issued a warning to the men who pump the bellows that they would have to cease to toil. The of ficial intimation sent out by Mr. Man ning is as follows: To the Blacksmiths and Horse- shoerfc of the City of Porland: You, and each of yon, are notified that on and after Sunday, August 25. 1907, you will be obliged, unper Bection 1968 of the statutes of Oregon, to keep your blacksmith shops closed on each and every Sunday thereafter. I bsye received a petiton from the Master Horseshoe' Protective associa tion, signed by a number of blacksmiths and huriPBhoers of this city, requesting me to assist them in keeping the black smith shops closed on Sunday.

T.l w n BIG HAIL STORM Considerable Damage Umatilla County. in morrow County Is Visited Only with a Light Shower an no Damage, Pendleton, Ore., Aug. 24. Probaby the haideBt hail storm that ever occurred in Oregon and also a cloudburst visited two different sections of Umatilla county almost simultaneously this afternoon, causing many thousands of dollars' damace. Hundreds of acres of the finest wheatwas beaten into the ground by the hail until it is impossible to tell what part of the field has been threshed and which has not. while the cloudburst washed away bridges, chicken-houses, woodsheds, farm machinery, chickens, pigs, at least on cow, and destroyed many acres of alfalfa hay. The hail storm truck the wheat belt at the Umatilla River near Torn Hollow, about 15 miles east of Pendleton, and swept northward across the county between Athena and Weston for a distance of ten miles or more. The path of the storm was only about three-quarters of a mile wide, but the entire strip of country was covered with hail to a depth of from three to four inches, and completely devastated. Some of the hailstones were two inches long and the orchards that lay in the path of the storm were stripped of their fruit and leaves. Coming on suddenly the hail caught the harvest crews in fields, and there was not time to unhitch the teams from the combines and headers. Two disastrous runaways resulted, but no loss of life has so far been reported. Though the damage done was so oomplete and extensive the hail all fell in about 10 minutes of time. This was followed by a terrific downpour of rain and dry gulches were turned into raging torrents Ss3S The mammoth electric sign just erected by the Oliver Chilled Plow Works at South Bend, Indiana, is one of the modern wonders of the world, being the largest of its kind, and is attracting widespread attention. "While it is impossible to do full justice to this triumph of. the electric art, the illustration at the heart of this article is a very good effort in that direction. This si;n is placed at the top of the plow company's new five-story ware house and is visible far out into the surrounding couutry. It extends the entire leDpth of the building, a dis tance of 250 feet. The trademark por tion of the sign is a very prominent feature, the highest point of the letters in same beinir at the center, 42 feet above tbe base line and iLe plow shown, measuring 50 feet in length. The letters in the words "Oliver" and "Works" are each IS feet high by 14 feet wide. A total of 3,200 lamps is required to properly illuminate this majestic sign and the light sent out casts its proac tive rays over the entire quitter of the city in the neighborhood of trie Oliver plant. in the space of a few n.iautgi Farms were flooded and at lensfc one family was compelled te abandon, its home and flee to tbe hills. Tbe dam forming the reservoir for the Athena waterworks went out, and the town is threatened with a water famine. While tba damage amounts well up into tbe thousands it is impossible to form anything near like an accurate estimatte. Representative Earreifr, telephoning from Athena tonight, says it is undoubtedly the worst storm of its kind in the history of the county. The cloudburst occurred on the head of West Birch creek several miles south of Pilot Rock and tbe little valley of that stream wad completely flooded. The water run through the dwellings, washed awav all small outhouses and drowned all the chickens, but tbo greatest damage was to the present crop of alfalfa. The heaviest losers are probably the J. E. Smith Live stock Company and the Cunning ham & Livestock Company, the latter having between 50 and 100 acres of alfalfa ruined. The flood reached Pilot Eock, but beyond the washing out of a county bridga and a footbridge, no damage was done at that point. Several bridges further up the stream were washed away. Bain fell in this city, and, as far as can be learned, throughout tbe county, nearly all the aftemooo, bringing all harvesting operations to a standstill and greatly damag ing the standing wheat. It . i. thought that only little more than half the crop has been harvested. Fortunately for the Athena farmers, whose ranches were in the path of the haisltorm, they1 had nearly finished threshing, but up along the river, where it first started and where it was the worst, the work of harvesting has just begun. In some manner a fire got start ed in the bunch grass on Crocket Kirk's place Monday evening. Tbe fire was checked before doing a great amount of damage. Only a small amount of winter range was destroyed. Such a light would ordinarily be con sidered very expensive and a Iuxorr, but in this cape tbe cost is minimized by reason cf the electricity used beinj generated at the power plant owdpiI and operated by the Oliver, loi'atl something more than a mile distant on the banks of the St. Joseph Kiver and designed primarily to furnish power for their great factory. An illumination of this exten,':v chaiarter naturally consumes poitf, and lu-'t of the o'20 1 orsepower jjecer ated by a single one of the 12 tribuna wheels at their electric power station is required to keep this "Electric Mar vel" britzhtly burning, making its liufct visible through the darkness for many miles, and so plain that the nami "Oliver Works" and the immense trade mark can be clear y distinguished an, I read for a distance of several miles. Located as this sign is very oeur rr the main lines of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern" and Gran J TinnW Kailways travelers will have a Ei opportunity to see for themselves thr "Tillarof fire by night," which is t once a triumph of invention and s t eoce and a tribute to the enterprise i its projectors and owners.
