prior to May 15, in order to vote in
November for President, or else to
vote on the affidavit of six freeholders.
County Clerks throughout the state
are now required to reopen the regis
tration books "between September 20,
1904, and 5 o'clock p. m. of Oetobei; 20,
1904, and between tho same dates in
each and every year thereafter in

be held under the local option law on
the same day as the election for Presi
dent, namely, November 8.

VALLEY NEEDS RAIN
Continuance of Dry Weather Will
Cause Great Damage to Grain
and Hops.
Except in the coast counties and a
few localities in the Willamette valley,
rain is badly needed for late crops. Fall
wheat and barley are heading nicely
and promise good yields. Early sown
wheat, barley and oats are also doing
fairly well, but late grain of all kinds
is making slow growth, and without
timely rains will give unusually light
returns. Frosts occurred on several
mornings, but they did no harm
except ea.st of the Cascades, where it is
reported that tender vegetables were
killed in a few exposed localities.
Meadow hay is not promising, and
a short crop is indicated nearly every
where in the Willamette valley and
southern Oregon. Pasturage contin
ues good on the ranges. Stock is in
fine condition, and the flow of milk in
tho dairy districts is excellent.
Hops are making a slow fjrowtb,
and have been slightly damaged by
wind. Growers report prospects for a
short crop throughout the valley.
Dr. Steiner Leads Ticket.
Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, our former
esteemed townsman, will be a member
of the coming State Legislature. He
was elected as joint Representive of
Lake and adjoining counties, leading
the Republican ticket in the late elec
tion in his field. This is a splendid
endorsement of Dr. Steiner, in view of
the fact that he has been a resident of
his county for scarcely three years.
He is well known in this city aj.&'jC

Still Talking Railroad.
A committee of the Independence
Improvement Club was in Salem
Salem Tuesday to meet a committee of
the Salem Commercial Club on the
matter of extending the Monmouth
and Independence motor line to Salem
The committee is composed of G. A.
Hurley, J. M. Stark and Walter Lyon,
and the Salem Club committee con
sists of F. N. Derby, Geo. W. Johnson,
H. W. Meyers, J. L. Stockton and
Mayor Waters. The gentlemen met
at 2 o'clock Monday at Mr. Derby's
office, and went over the details of the
proposed extension. It would tap the
Falls City trade, just the same as the
Dallas road, and connect with Dallas
by the S. P. Co. It is claimed for the
Independence line that they would
have but eight miles of track to build
to reach Salem, as against 14 to
Dallas. Salem Journal.
Pension Granted Widow.
Through tho efforts of Senator John
H.Mitchell and Hon.Binger Hermann,
a pension has been granted Mrs.
Cornelia Kelsay, formerly of Corvallis
but now living in Pasadena, Califor
nia. The Indian War veterans and
their widows will long remember
Senator Mitchell and the late Con
gressman Tongue with gratitude, for
it was tho untiring energy of those
two men that secured tho passage of
the bill to pension the survivors of the
early wars in the Northwest.
Money in Crawfish.
Yamhill crawfish are fat and juicy
and Portland restaurants like to pay
good money for them. Tuesday after
noon four crates, holding 255 dozen of
the imitation lobsters, were shipped to
Portland by an enterprising craw
fisher, tho price there being twenty
cents a dozen, or $51 for the lot. Yam
hill Reporter.

The Home Paper.
Someone has well said that "your
home paper never loses interest in
you." This possibly you have never
given a passing thought. No matter
whether you like the newspaper man
or ho likes you, if ho is true to his
profession and publishes a paper for
the people, he allows no personal mat
ters or petty spites to interfere with
his work of news-gathering. He may
meet you as a stranger, yet along
with his best and dearest friends
chronicle your successes and your
sorrows wherever you may be. Others
may deceive and defraud you, but the
homo paper never forgets you. A
newspaper on the right linos has no
pets, and should it at any time say
things that cause your fur to turn the
wrong way, study a moment and see
if it has not at various times said
many nice tilings of which you fail to
give it credit.
Has Good Water Supply.
An early morning blaze in Heppner
a few days ago caused damage to tho;
amount of $3000. The fire started in1
an old wooden building, and the
flames spread and gained such head
way that one time it was thought to be '
impossible to save the row. The fire
was attacked from both in front and
in the rear with four stream st of wator,
and in less than an hour was under;
control. The . Gazetto says the -fire

Holy Roller Creffield Wanted.
It is believed that tho increased re
ward offered for him, will result in
the capture of Holy Roller Creffield.
Besides tho $100 heretofore offered,
Multnomah has $100 up, and $100 has
recently been raised by subscription
in Corvallis, and added to the former
$100 offered chiefly by husbands of
former Holy Roller wives. In addi
tion, the county court cf Benton has
agreed to pay $100, which raises the
total to $400. It is thought the larger
amount will be an incentive sufficient
to engage the attention of more ex
perienced man hunters, and that in
due time High Priest Joshua will bo
brought to justice. ,
Plank Road to Salmon River.
Doctors Smith and Goucher are
making good progress in the construc
tion of their plank road from Dave
Leno's ranch, in tho Grand Rondo
reservation, to the beach at the mouth
of Salmon river Two and one-half
miles of plank have been laid and five
miles of grade completed. The
Salmon River beach is the finest in
Oregon, but has been visited by few
people in recent years .011 account of
the almost impassable condition of the
road across the mountains. When the
new toll road is completed, this beach
will bo the most popular camping
resort in Western Oregon.
May Move Land Office.
The general land office is in receipt
of a recommendation from inspecting
officials for the removal of the Oregon
City office to Portland. The land
office in Oregon City is in rented quar
ters and if room can be provided in the
government building in Portland the
office may be removed. The inspector
says that as Oregon City is about 12
miles from Portland and as a large
proportion of the people having
business with the land office come
through Portland no inconvenience
will be caused bv the removal.
