Big Shipping Business Done on A spejial agent of the Bureau of Forestry place» the lore in Oregon and Wfiflhing’un by lael Septem ber’» foftst fire» at (3,900,000 for tbis »ta’e »n4 IS 3-57 000 lor \V a»h- ingten, public forest values in clusive. The Forestry agent »hows the usual lack of understanding of bis class as to prevention of fires when he gives undue credit to tbe forest rangers for lack of fires in the Cascade mountain part of the states. While tbe rangers are deserving of some credit conditions in the Cas cades, and the valley foothills where nearly all this loes oocurred. are entirely dissimilar. In the mountain part of tbe two states there are very few eettlers, and they pay little attention to clearing land, ibe forests are dense and shade the ground so it remains damp from the natural hillside seepage even during the hottest months. Then, too, there is lack of underbrush. The case in the valley and valley foothills is entirely d.fferent. With plenty of brush and small timber to feel the Himes, though insufficient to shade the ground, settlers slashing and clearing in groups or singly, a fire once well started rages and burns everything in its path. I here is plenty of timber to burn, and the iire only stope when it has burned itself out. If tbe record of actual service of the forest ranger» oould be bunched together it would be surprising bow little they accomplish. There is but one eervice they may render in the mountains, that of constantly in >ving along the main lines ot travel—like the Military, MoKenxie ar.d Santiam wagon roads—and warning campers and travelers to be careful of fire. Thia the Forestry Bureau should see that they do in stead of loafing about camp, hunt ing and fishing. Impartial ob servers who are familiar with our forest conditions will not disse at from these views. FRENCH CRIMINAL COURT PRACTICE. Toe French oourti take a wide latitude in the examination of cases. For instance in the ex amination of the Mrs Gore murder, the Amerioan woman found shot through the head in the room ot the Russian, De Rydsewskj, in Paris last week, the Russian wae taken to the room and compelled to reenaot bis version of the tragedy —showing the positions occupied by himself and the woman and the table from which he claims the pistol fell to the floor, accidentally discharging the weapon. French court procedure is cer tainly ahead of that of English and American courts in this instance. Here the defendant, who, perhaps, knows all about the crime, ie not compelled to testify—may use his own pleasure about going on the witness stand. If innocent he can not tie hurt by telling the truth; ii guilty he could hardly make and «tick to a plausible story under searching cross-examination. The English practice contends that a man may not be made convict him- t-elf. To secure impartial justice, however, why not? The most costly hook in the royal library al Stockholm is a Bible. It is no wonder that it is c msidered precious, for there is not another just like it in the world. In weight and sixs alone it ie unique. The leaves, which are twenty inches wide, are made of skin. There are 309 page« of writing, and each page fails but one inch short of being a yard in length. The wid h of the leaves is twenty inches, The covers are solid planks four inches thick. the Lower River-Fishing Season Over. Tuard special SurvlcM. F lohence , N ov 26.—Tbe logs lu the .

ValL] Iu soni'.‘ Arm the gathering of the Karres’ has, been celebrated by agri cultural communities since the days of classical antiquity. Ceres, sometimes called queen of the harvest, is tbe sub ject of endless 1 ulf glea in the tales of mythological times. Demeter, or Ceres, was tbe goddess protecting corn and agriculture in gen eral. The fame of this goddess and a worship instituted by her extended over the east. She was the mother of Persephone, the beautiful maiden whom Aldoneus, with the help of her father, Zeus, carried off. In despair at the loss of her daugh ter Cerea wandered over tbe face of the eqrth and finally, in the disguise of an jld woman, found a home in Eleusis. There she at length revealed herself and caused ajemple to be built. Tak ing up her abode in It, a year of fam ine fame over tbe land. The soil yield- e<l no produce. In vain the people plowed and sowed seed. The race was In danger of perishing, and Zeus In des;>alr begged Ceres to come back to Olympus, but she would not return to him nor permit tlie earth to bring forth until she bad seen her daughter. Zeus then prevailed upon the captors of I’erscpbone to release her. and the fair one waa conducted to Eleusfa. The meeting between mother and daughter was a joyous one, and ZeuB sent a mes senger to Invite his spouse and their offspring back to heaven. Ceres com piled, And Instant, from the deep lolled cornfield« trutt aent up; with leaves and flowers th» whole wide earth was laden. Ibis fiction is taken as a parable to Show the secret life of nature and tbe development of food from a seed of grain burled In the earth. Ceres is commonly represented with a sickle 1n her right hand. A wreath of wheat confines her hair, aud a cornucopia, type of plenty, is placed near her to Ft present fruitful harvests. The Eleuslnlan mysteries origi nated In the worship set up to Ceres nt Eleusis. Little Is positively known of the nature of this secret worship, except that it was ennobling to the Pleasant Hill Notes. Guard Hpeclal Service.

THE HORN Ot PLENTY, mind and conduct. One festival sa cred to Ceres mid Persephone lasted from Sept. 10 to Sept. 20. Although others ideas were Involved In tbe cere monies, tli« occasion, in the Greek and Roman world at least, was one of re joicing for the bounties of the harvest. The Jews in all lands hold a week of thanksgiving at the cluse of the summer season. This is the feast of the tabernacles founded by Moses. In the course of their peregrinations the Israelites on the way to the promised land dwelt in booths, and the event Is commemorated by taking the meals of th© feast In t»'iita or temporary shel ter!. Th© roof must admit a view of the sky, anil is usually made of the branches of trees. Th»* mure pious of the race sleep under this green roof. The members of a family, or- sotne- ttanes a whole community, plub togeth er and erect largo tabernacles of boughs. This festival is also called the feast of til© Ingathering. It is mentioned iu the twenty-third chapter of Exodus, slxteeutb verse, as “the feast of tbo ingathering at the end of the year, when thou iiast gathered tn the labors of the field.” The rules of the feast are more ex plicitly laid down in the twenty-third chapter of Leviticus, commencing with tbe thirty-third verse, as follows: And th. Lord Ipake unto M .<•»», laying: S|*«ak unto th« children ot lararl. aaylng. Th. flltecuth day ot thia eeventh month «ball be th« Iraat ot tabernacles. I t ««ven day, unto ths Lord. Also tn ths fifteenth day of the seventh month when ye hare gi^hcred tn tbe fruK ot the land, ye shall keep a fea.t unto the Lord eeven day«; on the first day ahall l>e a Sabbath and on tbs eighth day altall be a Sabbath. And ye shall, take you on the first day th- boughs ot goodly trees, branches of pa bn trees and ths boughs ot thick trees snd wtllowa ot tbe brook. And ye eluill dwell tn booths seven days; sll that are Israelites born shall dwell tn bootba Tbe idea of tbe tabernncles and tbe Ingathering of tbe barvest are more closely combined In tbe sixteenth chap ter of Deuteronomy, tlie thirteenth verse, which says: Thou shall observe the feast ot the tabernacles seven days/ after thou hast gathered In thy corn au.f wtue. Tbe nearest approach to tbe modem Thanksgiving festival as It Is kept in tbe country was the Iqirvest home of the English farm people, formerly cel ebrated t»y the wliole rural community with universal merrymaking, feasting, songs and dances. The last load of corn from tlic field was crowned with flowers, having, beside«, an image rich ly dressed to typify Ceres, tbe queen of tbe harvest. When th»> last load reach ed tbe barn, tbe joyous harvesters sang tn chorus: lu yesterday’«Oregon Weekly, Allen Eut >n suggests the following feasible plan to the literary societies of the University : T o THKL o HK4NA.SU i’HILOLOGI AN S ocieties : — I believe that some plan should be ad<>| tsd by the literary eocie* ties ot the ÜLivere'ty of Oregon for a more-thorough development of debaters.
