On April 29th last the Oregonian 'JUU,,s,,eu a special Industrial edition devoted exclusively to the exploitation "icgou. ii probably contained more special and miscellaneous Infor mation about Oregon than any one publication that has ever been issued. It Is peculiarly useful and val the homeseeker, because It gives the luwsi ana most reliable information about so many different suMenu tht menomeseelier is naturally interested in. Almost every department of indus try is specialized, and both descriptive nuu statistical Information ofahisrhlv valuable character is given extensivel v nun in entertaining form. Residents of Oregon who know its advantages as compared with the con gesieci ana depleted East, and who still have friends back there whom they would like to see here enjoying me gooa tninga of this favored state, can aid In a splendid work now with out cost and very little effort. ' If vou think your friend would be Interested In knowing more about Oregon and might eventually become a valuable citizen, send his name and address to tne general passenger agent of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com pany or Southern Pacific at Portland, and a copy of this special edition, with complete summary of the several subjects treated, carefully indexed. will be mailed to him promptly. In this manner you may be the means not only of doing your friend a good turn, but of helping to stimulate the growth and prosperity of Oregon. Don't forget that commencing Sep tember 1st and continuing daily for two months, tickets will be on Bale at almost every railroad station in the East to all points in Oregon and the Northwest at what has coma to be popularly known as "colonist rates These rates are the cheapest general longdistance 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. They are the greatest incentive to coloniza tion and progressive home building of any known agency, and If the rest less, dissatisfied resident of the East is made to know before-hand the advant ages he can enjoy here, the problem Is solved, and the star of empire will continue to move steadily westward Now is the time to spread the gospel of Oregon, so that It may be heard and heeded by the time the rates go Into effect. Send one name or two, or dozen, and you will be exerting a worthy influence toward the upbuild ing of our state. Send them to your nearest Southern Pacific agent, or to Win.

The "Tongues of Fire" have movprt the place of holding their meetings from their tabernacle to the building adjoining the Star bakery, where they hope to suffer less annoyance at the hands of those who do not sympathize wun meir movement and can find no other way of expressing their disap- vwvm man in cutting the tent ropes, splitting the canvas, and in other ways disturbing the meeting. At the last service in the tabernacle. Sunday evening, this spirit of opposi tion rose entirely above the fear of the law, and the evening ended in a gen erai mixup, during which the tent ropes were cut and the whole mass of canvas was slumped in on the heads of the audience. This episode furu isnea untold amusement for the perpetrators of the deed, for awhile, but when they had slept over the sub ject, it seemed good to several young men to pack their suit cases and visit abroad until the clouds should roll by. Others remained, but they stole so covertly about the streets yesterday that it was plain that the words of the poet were running through their minds: "I shall go quietly all the days of my life." The Observer has little patience with the "Tongues of Fire" people and their strange antics, and would be pleased to see them move on to some other town; but the mere fact that they are accomplishing no good and useful purpose does not furnish an excuse for hoodlum boys to make their meetings a place of frolic and fun.

Glenn Elkins, a lineman for the Mutual Telephone Company, fell from near the top of a 30-foot pole yesterday morning, escaping serious injury by mere chance. His spike cut out of the pole as he started to descend, and he dropped straight down. Just before he struck the ground, one of his spikes accidentally caught in the pole again, and although it did not hold, it checked his fall sufficiently to . i ij l- save nini irora Dreamng ui icgo.

X ALL DRUCCISTS; SOc. COUNTY, OREGON, AUGUST 13, 1907. RINGLING BROS. AT SALEM World's Greatest Show to Exhibit Thereon Wednesday, Aug ust 28. On Wednesday, August 28, the peo ple of this vicinity will have an opportunity of attending Ringling Brothers' circus at Salem, and it is probable that many will go from here, as this splendid organization is far better than ever before; being made up almost entirely of European per formers new to America. The equipment of the circus is all brand new, and over a million dollars was spent in adding novel features. The greatest parade ever presented will take place in the forenoon. In it will be 1,264 men, women and child ren, 658 horses, nine herds of ele phants and three miles of hand-carved golden chariots, floats and dens, and gorgeous spectacular attractions. Space will permit of only brief men tion of the many European novelties, presented in a tent twice as big as that of any other circus. The Ricco bono horses 'wear boots, coats and trousers. One sits in a ' chair and reads a paper ; when the clock strikes ten he lights a candle, goes to his bed, removes his clothes, even to his pon derous boots, blows the candle out and retires. Last winter people went from all over Europe to Paris to see the act An agent of the show secured, through the efforts of an American diplomat permission from the Shah of Persia to bring to this country the wonderful Mlrze Golem troupe, favor ites of the Persian monarch's, court performers. It Is the first time they have been permitted to leave Persia, No one ever saw the act except royal visitors at the Shah's palace. Other European performers are Daisy Hod- gini, of Italy, the only woman who can turn a somersault on a horse ; the Marnello Maraites, who while turning somersaults and handsprings from shoulder to shoulder, play on Swiss bells; the Patty Brothers, of Paris, who hop up and down stairs and skip the rope on their heads ; the De Kocks from France, with their wonderful dog which walks on its hind feet around the ring, balancing a man on its head; the wonderful five Bedinls who jump simultaneously to the back of cne horse ; the Holloway family, of London, the greatest bigh-wire artists on earth ; the Jordan family of aerial ists, the greatest in the world ; the Kaulfman family of unicycle riders: the great Belfords, the Clark Brothers of England, the Borsenls of Naples, Marguerite and Hanley of Berlin, the Noetzel family of Dresden and 300 more of the picked talent of the world.

Y., News says : "It is stated that with the exception of Oregon, there are practically no apples In the United States tobe mar keted this Fall except thosein New York state. Oregon has a fair aver age yield, which will be marketed through the usual channels for the boxed trade. Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois and the Virginias are prac tically without apple prospects, and will have to Import fruit. Michigan has possslbly 15 per cent, some esti mates make It less than 10 per cent, of an average yield. "In Western New York, the crops average not nearly to large as last year, although of quality somewhat more uniform. For once, conditions favor the grower. Never before did contracting begin when the fruit had not reached the size of a small mar ble, but buyers are already offering $3 per barrel freely. Quite a number of growers have contracted theirorchards at that figure, but others are holding for $4 per barrel or more for choice fruit" t Summer Vacations.

The Standard Oil magnate sat up in ma vuia. Bewailing the stroke that had smit ten him sore: The lees of bis greenbacks lay lean In his pocket And fragments of wig lay about on me noor. A lone Standard oil can was hung in the window. From which all the contents had been drawn awav: Lugubrious zephyrs blew up through me spigot, And whistled the air of a ead minor lay. The downtrodden magnate shed sor rowful teardrops. And clasped the smooth arch of his billiard-balled head: Then added his plaint to the wall of tne on-can, And these were the sorrowful words that he said : "Judge Landls, Judge Landisl Oh, now couia you nana us This fearful, petrltlo, and purse stunning blow? Oh, say. was it justice to step In and bust us, For swiping some millions of much needed dough? O, hard-hearted 'vilyun 1' That twenty- nine muuon And two-forty-thousand of hardly won swasr Has placed a big crimp In my fortune and simp Ly has played the Old Nick with my uuge money Dag. How heavy my heart feels, to dig up those cartwheels, Those twenty-nine millions of long veraam duis; uut tnat s a mere Traction or your Drutai action 'Tis the thought-of the two-forty-thousand that kills 1 My one way to fence is to cut down expenses, To flrmlv adhera to nnnnnmv'a ruin. To give all my golt up, refusing to co u en up Another red cent for library or scnooi ; To give up all care for what wig I snail wear, for The Lord in his mercy provide will surely sufficient to For my classio caput, wrap it With hirsute adornment side. on every I'll buy no new stomach, but be eco nomic, And cut out all candies, confections, and wine; I'll not spend my dollars for buying new collars, Nor coal, neither lignite nor anthra cite fine. Thus rigidly slaving and carefully saving, And working the credulous people amain, Perhaps I can drag it all back here ana Dag it, That twenty-nine dollars again." million bright FOUR CASES HEARD Judge Galloway Holds Brief slon of Circuit Court In Dallas.

James has returned from Dallas end has again taken hp the white man's burden at the Southern Pacific station, He says the pay was good at the Dallas station, but that he considers life too short to continue to do two days' work in one for the Southern Pacific. It is bad enough here, aod at Dallas where the work of the Falls City road is thrown In for good count the life of the agent with short help is alt too strenuous. New berg Graphic.
