OREGON BRIEFLETS The United States National Bank If Portland has been approved as reserve spent for the First National Bank of North Bend. At a meeting of the Wasco County Horticultural Society, held at Tho Dalles last week, The Dalles Fruit growers' I'nlon was formed The senate has passed Senator Fulton's bill appropriating $175,000 for a site and public building at As toria. . The controller of the currency has approved the conversion of the Douglas County Bank, of Roseburg, Into the Douglas National Bank, with $50,000 capital. The oldest horse In Oregon died near Burns at the age of 43 years. The animal was an Indian pony and was owned by the late Captain Jack Kelley, the Indian fighter of Lava Beds fame. The Baker City Light and Power Company has been absorbed by the Elkhorn Light & Power Company, which has plants in Union, Cove anil La Grande. The new company may also manufacture and sell gas. Threshing men of Clackamas county met in Oregon City and or ganized the Clackamas Cotiiry Threshers' Association. The consti tution and by-laws of the state as sociation were adopted. Representative Hawley secured passage through the house of his bill to pay S. R. Green $206, being the amount of postal money stolen from the postofflce safe at Oregon City when he was rostmaster, which amount he had io pay the govern ment. Walter Johnson, convicted of the murder of Elmer Perdue, of Spo kane, was hanged in the penitentiary at Salem last week. The crime oc curred In the mountains near Hills boro, while the men were on a tim ber cruising trip. Robbery was the motive. Lebanon has taken the lead of all cities In the state this year in pre paring to celebrate the Fourth of July. At recent meeting of the Business Men's League it was decid ed to celebrate and preliminary plans for a big celebration were inaugu rated. Not a single person has been sent to the Penitentiary from Linn coun ty for the past two years. This county has always been remarkably free from crime, but this Is the longest period in the memory of court officers without at least one commitment to the state prison. Three counties in this state, Ben ton, Lincoln and Yamhill, have not a single prisoner In the state peni tentiary. This is shown by the bi ennial report of the superintendent, C. W. James, who has classified the prisoners as to their crimes, length of sentence and county from which committed. Unkempt, dirty and wUh his ankle so badly sprained that he cannot stand without assistance, Robert Gerrish, who escaped from the Ore gon insane asylum last November, was found in a barn at Oakland Fri day night and taken back to the asylum. He can give no account of his wanderings or the cause of his injury. Eefore the next regular river and harbor bill Is framed by congress, a report will have been submitted by the army engineers, passing upon the necessity for a 30-foot channel from Portland to the sea, and that report will be accompanied by the outline of a project and estimate of cost. If the report is favorable, it will be binding upon congress, and it is reasonable to presume that the new work will be started under au thority contained in the bill. 'Four tramps were discovered In an alley at the rear of a Salem brewery Saturday morning by the police. Two of the men were nearly dead and several hours were re quired to resuscitate them. The other two were unconscious and all were taken to Jail in an express wagon. They had been drinking wood alcohol and had fallen asleep In the middle of a mudhole and were nearly drowned as well as frozen. It Is possible two of them will not survive. R. S. Smith, of Klamath Falls, representing the Water Users' Asso ciation on the Klamath irrigating project, is in Washington in confer ence with the reclamation service and the secretary of the interior, in the hope of securing a modification of the order imposing a charge for water right. Water rights at Klam ath have been fixed at $30 per acre, divided into 10 equal payments. Ho wants the department to make the first payment $1 or $1.25 per acre and gradually Increase the amount so that the last payment will bring the total to $30. Smith says settlers will have difficulty In paying $3 por acre the first year. After consultation with officials of the reclamation Bervice, Representa tive Ellis has written to settlers un der the proposed Malheur irrigation project, informing them that tin government will gladly take up and build that proect if they themselvea will promptly get together and in duce all landowners, including tha Wagon Road Company, to join the Water Users' Association In agree ing to sell their surplus lands when the water Is ready for delivery and file application for water rights for all irrigable lands. The project Is attractive to the government engin eers, more so than many others un der consideration, but it is up to the people themselves to say whether or not It shall be built now or later. Ihath May Cheat Gallows. Salem C. Y. Tlmmons, sentenced to hang February 26. for the murder of his wife in this city. Is reported to be In a serious condition and It la possible the gallows will be cheated of Its victim and Tlmmons will suc cumb to heart failure before the day of execution. At the time of the murder, Tlm mons either cut his own throat or It was cut by a Becond party, Tlm mons adhering to the latter story, fie lay all night In bed In this con dition and was removed to a hospital where he was ill for weeks. Physi cians state that the loss of blood ou the night in question is respons ible for his present condition, and that he Is now suffering from acute heart trouble. He cow appears pale and wan, and is far from being In good physical condition. Will Complete' Telephone Line. Drewsey A stock company has been organized here to complete the telephone line between this place anil Harney City, a distance of 35 miles. This line was started during the early part of the past year, but was abandoned, the excuse being the scarcity of help. Seven miles of telephone line which will connect Drewsey with Von, a distance of 25 miles, also government forest rese-ve. a lev miles beyond Von, have boon com pleted. When these lines are fin ished Drewsey will then be connect ed with all outside points. Increase in Tillamook Pulrylng. Tillamook Tillamook county's principal industry, dairying, Bhows a gratifying increase over the year 1907, as Is evidenced by the report3 of three cheese factories just made public. The three manufactured 532,553 pounds of cheese, which brought in a revenue of $65,720. During 1908 the average price for butter fat was several cents lower than in previous years The average yield of cheese to the 100 pounds of milk was 10.9 pounds for these three factories. Coach and Lride Get Silver Service Eugene Last year's football squad of the university presented Mr. and Mrs. Robert Forbes with a handsome silver service as a wed ding present. Mr. Forbes is engaged in the lum ber business at Wendling, Or. He has agreed to coach football again at the University, according to the Yale system and will sign a contract with Manager Hayward.

One normal school, probably at Monmouth, will be the recommenda tion of the joint committee on ways and means. Should this recommen dation be followed, It will cut off from the state treasury the schools at Weston, Ashland and Drain. The appropriation will be probably $150,000. Provision will be made for paying the railroad fare to the one normal of students in far-away parts of the state. As Monmouth holds a balance of power on the committee. It is likely to be favored In the report. Enactment of anti-Japanese legis lation by any other authority than Congress Is disapproved by a major ity of the members of the Oregon legislature. Sentiment against any legislative disturbance t the Japs Is especially strong in the senate. For that Terrible Itching. Eczema, tettir and salt rheum keep their victims in perpetual torment.
