He reports that the new wagon road from Gates to the mines, recently ordered by the Marion county court, is now being surveyed by County Surveyor B. B. Herrick, and the work of laying out the road will be completed this week. Construction work will begin immed iately and the road will be completed this fall, the county building the dozen or more bridges required while the miners construct the road. Funds for the work been secured to the amount of $10,000, and enough has been pledged to complete a good road from the Pope ranch, 12 . miles from Gates, to the mines. There already is a good road from Gates to Pope's place, and when the new roadway and bridges are built, wagons can be driven through to the mines. A large amount of machinery is ready to go in as soon as the road is completed, and the mines will be thoroughly developed at once. Albany Herald. Married Dusky flaiden. Superintendent T. J. Potter, of the Chemawa Indian school, was married on August 18th to Miss Mary J. Smith at Reading California, where the bride resides. The marriage came as a surprise to the many friends of Mr, Potter, and was .not credited when the rumor was first heard last Saturday. The bride was a pupil of the school for about eight years, and last year was employed in that institution. She is a quarter-blood Wintone Indian, 18 years old, and is said to be quite handsome. Mr. Potter is almost 50 years of age, and is a widower. They left for East ern points immediately after their marriage, and will spend several weeks visiting St. Louis and other points of interest before returning to Oregon. Mr. Potter will turn over the school to the new superintendent, Mr. Chalcraft, about October 1st. Salem Journal.

Mill street, Dallas, Oregon Twenty-five cents for 1904 hops is the record so far in the market this year, says a Salem dispatch in the Evening Telegram., This information is gained' from an unquestioned source. It indicates that the opening price will be much better, and that the hopgrowers of Oregon will realize more from their crops this year than has been their experience for twelve years. . is. o ones, oi Mission isouom, has sold, not contracted, 10,000 pounds of his 1904 crop of hops to Lillienthal Bros, for 25 cents. Before the agree ment is signed $1000 will have been paid upon the bargain. This is the highest price yet paid in the Willamette Valley. Tho next highest price paid on 1904 contracts was 23 cents. This is taken to indicate that the price of 1904 hops is on the ascendency and that there is no telling where the price will stop before the market is really opened. Despite the advice of the hop dealers, it is quite probable that the majority of growers are figuring on commencing picking about September 1, and perhaps earlier, if conditions warrant. The continued fair and warm weather, which has been intensified to a con siderable degree of late on account of the density of the smoke in the Valley, has had a tendency to hurry the hops to earlymaturity, with the result that picking is liable to begin earlier than was at first anticipated. A miniature forest fire broke out in the Polk county hills opposite Salem Friday evening, which for a time, threatened to assume graver propor tions, Happily, however, it was gotten under control before much damage was created, the burning of about fifty cords of wood, being the extent there of. The conflagration, it Is learned, originated from the burning of some brush on the Purvine place, about four miles across the river. Salem Statesman. CAN BE CURED BT DttDg rxpl Tablets.

Trolley cars will be running between Portland and Salem by this time next year, according to C. W. Miller, who is attorney for the Portland Southern Electric Railway Company. Mr. Mil ler has just been out on the line attending to the right-of-way deeds. He says the company has plenty of financial backing and therefore does not need to "finance" the road before going ahead with construction. "This Winter the contractors will be engaged on rock work in Clackamas and Marion Counties." he said. "There are several good-sized rock cuts to be made between Canemah and Woodburn, and this work can be pushed regardless of the weather. Tho earth fills and cuts must be con structed while the weather is fine. How does the company expect to get into Portland? Well, how would you got into Portland if you were at Canemah? You would take either the O. W. P. car or the Southern Pacific train, wouldn't you? Our company has not yet secured the right of way into the city, but between Oregon City and Salem everything has been set tied. "A party of surveyors has been out on the right of way for several weeks and the line is all ready for cross-sec tioning. It parallels the Southern Pacillo for most of the way, but at Canby makes a detour to the east in order to avoid the heavy grade. This diversion will enable the people of a large section east of the Southern Pacific line to have trolley service and thus the products of that region can be brought to Portland at much smaller expense than now."
