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

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

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

DESERT THEIR TABERNACLE
"Tongues of Fire" Worshipers Move
up Town to Escape Pranks
of Hoodlum Boys.
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.

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.

"In Western New York, the crops
average not nearly to large as last

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

for $4 per barrel or more for choice

Lugubrious zephyrs blew up through

And whistled the air of a ead minor

The downtrodden magnate shed sor

And clasped the smooth arch of his
billiard-balled head:
Then added his plaint to the wall of

And these were the sorrowful words
that he said :
"Judge Landls, Judge Landisl Oh,
