Novcmlier the 8 is among the things the democrats view with al arm. The first Coast pears which went to Chicago a few days ago realized $4.50 a box. The republican party seeks to convince the people. The demo cratic party seeks to scare them. Th; music of the telegraph in strument on election night is the Democracy's annual elegy of griet. lvvery time Democratic platform makers yield to their desire to I honest, they endorse some republi can policy. One of the eculiarities noticea ble in insane asylums is that every inmate alwavs insists that he is "sane, The country will not be slow in making its choice letween Roose velt ami a Record and Parker and a I'romise. Iling cherries have been bringing a much higher price in eastern market than other cherries shipped from the same locality. The democratic plank on the Philippine question is an expres sion of regret the American policy there has not been met by disaster. The republican party tells of thinjis it has done. The democrats tell us what they will do, if they get into power and don't go insane again. It will take better testimony than that of I )rs. Tillman and Bryan to convince the voters of the country that the democratic party has re gained its sanity. The eastern peach crop is proba bly the heaviest this year, that it has been lor years, and will no doubt cut quite a figure in the dried fruit trade next winter. The republican motto, according to hpeaker Cannon, is We Move On." The lest the democrats can do is to inscribe their banners with "Safe, Sane and Scared." 1 he Lewis ana Clark manage ment have decided to award each couulv soo toward making a county exhibit, provided the exhi bit does not cost less thatf $ 1000. Having admitted that the were insane in 1893 a"'l i'1 1900, the democrats practically join in the chorus of rejoicing that their candi date was not successful in thone yenrs. ) Having denounced the adoption of the gold standard as the crime of the century the democratic party now conies in and asks the prive- lege of being adjudged guilty as an accessory alter the fact. The democrats demand a prose cution of the unlawful trusts, and show how to do it by pointing to the trail already blazed by a repub lican Attorney -licneral, under a republican administration. The cherry worm has at last found its way to the Pacific Coast, and reports of its destructiveness in Rogue River valley are at hand. It is said energetic spraying by the orchardists will prevent spreading, The republican platform for 1904 was the logical result of a consist ent record of fifty years of enlight ened thought. The democrats were all at rea till Dave Hill told them what they might believe this year. A woinau out in Minnesota, aged 98, has got a new set of teeth, Slie fed herself on a teaspoonful of powdered oyster shells every day. And it worked, but one must be y8 years old to have the experiment a complete success. The democratic party has enter ed a plea of "guilty" to the charge of having lceu unsafe and insane for at least eight years. It is not altogether satisfactory with its pres ent symptoms, but is more hopeful since it has taken the Republican gold cure. This is the dullest season of four years. Hut times are going to very decidedly improve within a very lew mouths. 1 lie present lull in t lie business and iinanctal world is ' not significcnt. It is a sort of re action only, after the prolonged prosperity. Business is simply spitting on its hands, as it were. North Bend Post. When a man play fully points a pistol or gun at you knock him down; don't stop to inquire whether it is loaded or not, knock him down. Don't le particular what you hit him with, only see that it is projitrly done. It a coroner's in quest is held let it be done on the other fellow; he won't be missed. ICxchange. You may call him a rube, or a hayseed, or a yap, but the farmer is nevertheless the biggest man in the country, says an exchange. He could buy all the National banks, p;iy the national debts, pur chase IkUi the steel combine and the Standard oil trust and put Wall street out of business, out of the product ol his honest toil and still have a million dollars for pocket change. To sum it up in a sen tence, the farmer, by whatever nick-name he is called, is the most important class in the United States and has a right to grow cheaty at .the showing he makes , , , Never has there been so many wild blackberries on the market in Portland as has !een seen during the past two weeks. Last Sunday evening almost every suburban car brought in parties with from oue to ten buckets The berries are large and excellent flavor. Why the Local Press Should be Cul tivated. The local paper is sometimes not regarded with the importance which belongs to it. Some people are apt to regard with undue importance the utterances of metropolitan pa ners. Of course in matters nation al and general politics we naturally expect more authorative and abler articles from metropolitan papers for the reason that they have great wealth and can command the high est class of talent. It is also a fact that the editors of creat papers are brought more in connection with men who consider discuss and de cide matters of great importance But this fact should not lead us into the error of belittling the local press There is no one who finds out the importance aud influence better than the man who, up to a certain date in his life, always decried the local newspapers, and suddenly, when a friend or some pet theory is attacted, commenced a vigorous kick, and at once recoenied the importance and influence of the lo cal press by his loud protests and utterance against it. A person living in a small city near a large city where the local and metropolitan ournals come in competition soon learns to recog nize the importance of the local press and why it should be cultiva ed. Let the citizens of the small town undertake to break into the metropolitan patier, let him address the communication to the editor of a large paper and one which he has hithfrto thought so important and valuable and see with what cold matter of fact way his communica tion will be regarded. Let him watch the boiling down process, the smallness to which his comma nication has been reduced and the )osition in which it is placed, or the insignificance of his utterances in the great mass of matter publish ed and among the display ads. as well as of many pages in which it is obscured and then we will under stand if there is some value in a lo cal newspaper. If a citizen of your town walks into a local neswpaper office he feels at home. He feels that he is among friends, he feels like a pa triot upon his own native soil fight ing for the defense of his country, for he is conscious of being in thi right, being where he is entitled to be. He is not embarrassed as when he approaches a potentate, mighty, cold and indifferent to his appeals, he feels that he has a sympathetic ear, that he is talking to one of in identical interests, one with whom he has had business transactions and constant intercourse aud a knowledge that they have mutual interests at once places him at ease and approaches him and .makes the appeal clearly, fully and deliber ately without embarrassment. It is the local press which serves you in every emergency. There you go in trouble, it is there you go in prosperity. If you want to boom any manufacturing enterprise, any railroad project for the develop ment of your town, for your lodge to increase its influence, or if the lodge desires to add to its mern'oer ship, or to erect a new hall, or in any way advance its interests, the local press is immediately appealed to for help. So it is with our churches, if it is a picnic, a festival, a new eat pet or an organ, the local press is found useful in furthering every good object. If a raid is to be made on sin by the ambassadors of Christ the columns of the local paper are used freely and gratui tously in advertising the revival or protracted meeting. The candi dates and politicians find also the importance of the local press. As a rule retail and wholesale merchants ate men of char acter, good morals and integrity, always interested in any enterprise that will advance the interests of their city. When a dealer buys ad vertising he wants the test article he can get, Ik? watiti to advertise in a paper mat is amy edited, has a large circulation and covrrs all the territory possible for him to draw trade from. Newspaper can do much to attract people to your city and store. The more people brought to a city the more prosperous are all the merchants. So, clearly there arc many rea sons why the local press should le cultivated. Yet in spite of all these facts the people most interested in the local paper are sometimes the last to give it their support and are frequently known to take several metropolitan papers and shut out their local paper altogether. If there is anything in the argument alout the advantages of home trade surely it makes a strong apteal on lehalf of the local press, lec.iuse the money for the labor is always expended w here the paper is printed, and if paid out with one hand for subscription, advertising or job printing it comes irto the other hand and thus remains with you. It by any means you freeze out your local paper and leave yourself at the mercy of the foreign, you would find out more fully than words or argument could explain why the local paper should be cul tivated. Zenith City Magazine. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL Interesting Lcttor From Hon. D. M. C. Gault. Salem, July 26 The weather and the season, especially as they effect crops, are topics for discus sion. Karly maturing growths were almost equal to the usual sea son. In this class was hay aud the berries; all the fruits, whether early or late tielong in that class, but late planted oats, potatoes, corn and the like would be better for rain. Hops, a leading crop, are doing well where thorough and constant culti vation has been given. Salem, as the hop center of the United States, is busily studying what the crop will be, not only in Oregon but in the United States aud Europe. This morning I saw Mr. H. W. Searle, who represents Peer Bros., oue of the big firms dealing in hops. It is their business to know at this date what is growing and what the picking is likely to be. At the present outlook he estimates the 1904 crop will be in Oregon, 95, 000 bales; in California, 50,000 bales; in Washington, 40,000 bales; in New York, 55,000 bales; other states, 5,000; total in the United States, 245,000 bales. Last year Oregon put on thr) market 8S.000 bales, of these there are 331 bales yet in the grower's hands, which added to what is yet in the dealer's hands, makes 3,700 bales left over, lust what is left of the world's 1903 crop is not certainly known The United States consumption placed at 300,000 bales. Of th consumption, 5,000 bales of foreign hops, equivalent in weight to 10 000 of our bales, are imported for blending purposes or for making imitations of foreign beer Bohem ian for instance. This will leave about 50,000 bales for foreign ex port. Domestic use consumes 500(1 bales taken by yeast and drug con cerns, while the rest goes into the brewing of 48,000,000 barrels beer. Mr. aeari looks lor good prices to prevail for 30 to 60 im mediately after picking time, after which prices will drop. Growers who sell early, hi his opinion, wi hit the best market. Some uneasiness is hatched by the threatened invasion of Kastern Oregon sheep into the Cascade side of Marion county, but the facts hardly bear out the stories told There are sheep in the Cascade re serve to be sure, but they do not do the damage with which they are charged. It is the vacation-moun tain-tourist that shouts loudest Sheep do not eat shrubs and young timber unless driven to such diet by extreme hunger. This is es penally true with the young pines and firs. The annual plants, grass and perhaps some weeds, form the food of sheep. Hon. John Minto who settled his farm, four miles from Salem, in 1849. then had ten acres of timber while now he has 40 acres and that too in a sheep pasture. Sheep, in fact, are of more advantage to the preservation of forest than damage, for they, with the shepherds; prevent forest fires that are really hurtful. The printers at the state house are at work on the last volume the state law reports which will be out in about two months. It will be, typographically, a fine volume Kxperts say that the Oregon reports are the finest printed. Preparations for the state fair are steadily making progress. Already there are 100 horses on the ground in training for the events that are to be "pulled ott ' during the annual meeting. Today I saw an intend ing exhibitor of hogs in a feed store buying hog feed. The dealer was showing him several new mixtures but he refused them, saying: am leeding lor the fair and cannot afford to try experiments D. M. C. Gault A Great Event. Portland, Ore., July 2), One of the longest race meetings ever attempted in Oregon will open here on August 8 and continue till August 28, and possibly through the first two weeks in September. A large force of work men are rushing the work of getting Irv ington race track in shape for the com ing mt. - Already trainers and owners are shipping their strings to the track and the officer of the Multnomah Fair Association are preparing to stable ,V)0 horses, the pick of those now raciug at Seattle. When President A. Jl. Pitrmoml and the rest of the Multnomah Fair Associs tion official talk! of giving a week racing last year, they were told frankly by the local horsemen that the racing game had received such a black eve in 1'ortlamd that the public would not turn out to see them. In spite of this dig coiiraging talk the officials went on, gave the race meeting, proved conclusively that horses could be raced and raced honestly, and not only the people of Portland paid their money at the gate, but horsemen from all over the state at tended the meeting. And when they returned home they were loud In their praise for the clean sjKrt which they i.i 1 ... ... urn enjoyeu, ami oi me liiieral manner in which the books handled the odds on the races. This was all the encourage ment that the association wanted, ami they U-gan at once to plan for their l!H)4 August meeting. Most of the horsemen who race. I here last fall declured that nothing could keen them irom returning. Not only have they kept their word, but they have as sisted in filling the stake book entries when it was sent to Oakland and Iw Angeles, Originally the association pliiontxl onljr to en re fur ItO) horse, tut the iloinaii l fur stall room became no Ureal that il was f unt iiccestiury to Wuild 200 additional stalln.

The entire KraiidnUn.l, the saddling paddock and the judges and tiinem' Kt.inJn will lie painted anew and every si ll will receive a thick coat of white wash. It Is the intention of the association this year to give $10, OK) away in purges for the stake of the events alone. This asMures liig fields in each of the events, and it will bring together some of the held horse racing on the count. The Ore gon SUke, the first stake event of the Hfitaon, closed with 52 entries, and u niong them such horses a MiHly's Pride, Step Around, who won the o)iening stake event at Seattle ; Lady Unit, AllMunurlo and a large uumher of other clever per formers The big stake race of the meet ing will he the Irvington handicap, vul ue rHMH) t) the winners. For this mon ey such horses as Modicum, Forest King, ti 'orne Kerry, Veterano, Mr Din gle and (iateway, and many others will face Starter Mufholhuid on August 20, the date after the race. Married at Thirteen. Spokane, Wash , July 23. Thirteen-yeur-old Matilda Whituker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Whitaker of Deer Park Wash., was married here yesterday to John Iiruggs, a blacksmith of that place, aged 28 years. The license was secured with the consent of Kith parents of the bride, and a ceremony was per formed by a Justice of the Peace. Mrs liioggs is the youngest bride of Spokane county by three years. Forest Fire Raging. The Portland Oregonian of Wednesday morning says : Serious fires are raging in the hills at the headwaters of the Ne halem anil in th - Coast Hunge bark of Forest drove. It whs reported yester day to the Ast ria & Columbia Hiver Railroad, which own large tracts of valuable timber in that country, that an incendiary had been firing the country side and their timlser was endangered. The ugent was immediately sent to For est Orove where he learned the report to lie true, and hiring II. V. Scott, a timber cruisers, and a gung of men to light the lire, he headed into the moun tains 12 miles from Forort (irove, eight miles DorihweHt of Ukhioii. The tire in creasing as the day advanced reinforce ments were sent out and more will leave this morning. The fire at first was a tract of dead titular, but by last night it had spread to within a mde of the big, green hold ings of fir belonging to the company, and the wind was blowing in that way. No altent'on was paid to the fires till the agent of the company arrived aud then large ImmUcs of men were sent off into the mountains to check them if possible. The fire is of incendiary origin, jt started along a path now deserted and seldom used that runs over the top of the divide which lies iietween l'atton an Scoggins creeks. No less than fifty places have liecn found where fires have been kindled by the side of the path. There are only two explanations for the incendiary: Either he was Irrpn'Kinsilile and set the fires to drive out t ho deer, which are plentiful in that region or he had a fancied grudge against the owners and wished to revenge himself. If the fire once liegins raging in the green timlier, which will undoubtedly be the case, unless the gang of men now at work are eijiericnced fire lighters, deep forests running buck ten or 15 miles and many more miles tieyoud the range will lie endangered. All this dis trict is covered with very thick grow th of fir. The power-house which supplies For est (irove, Canton and Dilley with elec tricky is only two miles south ol the con flagration, but is not yet in danger. It is ex)ected, however, that A portion of the line leading to Forest (irove will l destroyed. The old saying that "one-half the world doc not know what the other half is doing" does not hold good since the establishment of the rural free de livery and the adoption of the telephone in the rural districts. Tillamook Her aid. The President Notified. Oyster Bay, July 27. President Kooe- velt was notified formally today of his nomination for the Presidency by the National Republican Convention. The ceremony took place at his country home at Sagamore Hill, three miles from this village. In accordance with the Presi lie ill s wish, the ceremony was made as simple as possible. The formal notification of the action A the convention was made, on behalf of a committee representing every state and territory in the United States, by Speaker Cannon, of the House bf Repre sentatives, The Glacier reports that two cars of Hood river strawberries went all the way to Massachusetts this year. The car were first sent to Omaha, but the market being full they were forwarded to Chicago and from Chicago to Massa chusetts. The first of the cars arrived in Massachusetts with the fruit in g'ssl shaa. The other had not Ispen heard from. That strawberries can he nhlpsl in carload lots all the way from Oregon to Massachusetts and arrive in good shape is a great tribute to Hood River Issrries and packing, and shows good management of the cars. x IVlta Pink IJver Pill is a splendid remedy fur indigistin and biliousness. etter than the Is-st cascarets ever made.
