St. Paul, Aug. 21. Fifteen people were killi in the tornado that swept this section last Saturday night, aud the an gradate Iohs is estimated at 3,0U0,0U0 Of this amount St. Paul Buffered to the extent of alnjut $1,000,000. .Tho daiu age to Minneapolia id eMtiinated at $1,- .riO0,(Xl0, while in the outside diutricta it ia feared that fully 1500,000111 not cover the damage done to crop and farm property. The ttorm struck the city w ith a roar, tore along the Hut, uprooting trees on Harriet Inland, and with a deafening roar and the hiss and splash of falling steel it struck. Here was located at the lridt;e entrance on opposite sides of Wa Imsh street the Tivoli concert hall anil Empire theatre, both crowded with men watching the erformances. Hoth of tliene buildings were wrecked aud under lie! th the Tivoli was found the mangled bodies of Lorin F. Hokinson and George K. Wentou. On the storm swept to ihe northeast over the wholesale districts, and every building facing south from Wtbash street tor blocks east on Third had scarce ly a w hole pane of glass to any window, m hilo many on the opKsite side were also broken. Roofs on several buildings were rolled into bundles aud dropped tutu the street. Flying plate gluss mix ed with the rain battered everything w hich stood before it, and horses and carriages were swept along the street, which was a roaring river. ' The Pioneer Press building, a thirteen story brick and steel structure, at the corner of Fourth and Roberts streets, was literally riddled by the w ind and flying debris". Nearly every window on the south side was shuttered, part of the cornice was damaged, an I a huge sky light above the court was dashed to pieces, the glass falling like hail in the corridors beneath. There was a stam pede among the printers at work on the twelfth floor, many of them leing cut by falling glass. The storm then swept across St. I-ouis park, leveling all shade trees, and struck the five-story building of Noves Brothers & Cutler, wholesale druggists, blow ing off the roof and car rying away part of the upper story. The Chicago, MinneaMlia, St. Paul & Omaha railroad roundhouse at East St. Paul collapsed, Injured one man ami lid serious damage to a numlter of loco motives. Several freight cars' in the yards were picked up and tossed about by the fierce gale. The tower and nsf of the fire station at Payne avenue and York street were blown off, striking aud probably fatally injuring a man. The Arlington- Hill Presbyterian church, corner Case aud Edgerton Sts., was unroofed and partially wrecked. The large dormitory of the House of the Good Shepherd, collapse during the storm, burying fifty children in the ruins. One child was killed and a score of others more or less seriously injured. The roof of the dormitory was struck by lightning, which rent the roof, and a gust of wind carried the entire roof away, part of it falling into the building. Then the top floor caved in and carried the first floor and the fifty children to the basement. MILLION LOSS AT MIMNCAPOLIS. Minneajiolis, Minn., Aug. 21. The center of the storm hit the business sec tion of Nicollet avenue and Sixth street. Here the front of Donaldson's Glass Block store was blow n out and a huge skylight was blown off. All of the stores in this district had w iudows blow n lu, and all suffered more or less damage to st.s k. The mammoth skylight of the Guaranty Loan building fell twelve feet through the interior court, and great damage was done by water to of fices. The lists is estimated at fully 11,000,000. ST. toriS PARK DAMAOKn. The storm did great damage at St. I.ouis Park, a suburb alout seven miles from Minneapolis. The loss here is es timated at $'10,000. A telegram from Waconia says that place was visited by a tornado Saturday night, which devastated the country for miles alsMtt, ami from the rcrts olv tai liable four persons were killed and several injured. It Might Be Worse. A crumb of comfort can be taken in the fact that while there is a great deal of smoke there is. as a rule, only a little fire. It would appear that in many in stances only the underbrush is consum ed, leaving the tall monarch of the for est practically uninjured. The only et ceptioii to this rule is w here a tree is coated to its top with pitch, and then fire leAp to the foliage of the tree with a bound. Whenever this occurs the en tire tract i dsmed, for the toj of coni (era are highly inflammable. Eugene Register. Genuine vegetable parchment Hmtter wrapping paper for sale at this utiles Size, 9x13.

The nine days' wonder, the town talk, the "ohs" and "ahs" incident to the cap ture, and general discussion of Crelfield- ism from the origin of the beiief up to the time of hit departure to Portland, have all gradually died out in Corvallis. The name of the apostl , once a house hold word tiecause of the queer antics of the person who bora it, has become a memory that is but seldom revised for discussion, yet Crelfield has left his mark on Corvallis, and in more than one home there is deep and bitter sorrow. The last report from the asj luin brings toO. V. Hurt the intelligence that in opinion of the superintendent Mrs. Hurt is hopelessly insane. Frank Hurt and wife, Miss Hartley, and Maude Hurt Ore Hi eld will all probably regain their mental balance. Up in the Bohema mines, Mrs. Hartley, although tulficent- ly recovered to be able to cook for six men, is not mentally improved. Her Bible is hidden away from her by hor rel atives, but the fact appears to have no salutary effect on the victim of Creffield- in. In Corvallis, the last remnant of the whole affair, in which the public has particular interest is the reward that was offered for the arrest and conviction of Joshua Crelfield. The only persons who could under the circumstances at tending the capture, have any claim on the money were O, V. Hurt, Roy Hurt and Chief Lane. It was the consensus of opinion at the time of the apostle's apprehension that Roy Hart should re ceive the money. To this, however Mr. Hurt entered the protest, declaring that it was not the money, bnt the man that was wanted. The objection, was timely, as some people would no doubt have bee n prejudiced enough to have thought that, as Crefileld was found under the Hart house, it was a made-up plot for the Hurts to conceal him there and then se cure the reward by disclosing his where abouts. Accordingly, O. V. Hurt, Roy Hurt and Chief Lane have, at the re quest of Sheriff Hornet t, signed a written reoiiest that the t3o0 ah all revert to the donors. The amount of individual con-) trkbutions was f-'r and this amount is now in the hands of the sheriff, and will be paid back on request to those who gave it. The $300 donated by the county to wards ihe same fund will ol course, be returned to the county. Farmers in Gilliam county who were anxious to sell their land some time ago have raised the prices of their land some ft( per cent on the strength of the new railroad, from Arlington to Condon. It would he time enough to double the price oi land when the new line com mences. This is not the first railroad that has run the length of the column or two in the Oregon ian and never got any further. The Columbia Southern la a lino that pays well, ami there is no ret son why a line through Gilliam county would not give the same results. The county is larger and most of the land just as good as it is here in Sherman county. All the farmers across the John Day, need is a railroad from Con don to Arlington, to place Gilliam ooun tiAoi footintr with the other great wheat raising counties of the stale. Wasco News.

Most visitors to the great St. Louis fair write home and give their opinion of the many buildings, their grandiire, the home exhibits and the, more sedate side of the exposition, but few mention the place that occupies a prominent apace and with no exception, is v inked by all who attend the fair the Pike. The Pike draws everylsnly. Perhaps all are like the Vermont deaeou who went through the Pike so that he could waru those at home about attending some of the places along this street. "Pikers" always "do the Pike" in the evening. Then everything is in a blaze of light. Hundreds of thousands of incandescent lights furnish illumina tion ami almost every place has its ow n electrical apparatus. To do the Pike from one end to end, w ill cost alxmt $rH). Prices range from 60 cents to $1; most of the places are grand fakew; but a few of them are worth seeing. There are two entrances to the Pike. One at the Wabash statiou, and the Pike entrance. One is attracted by the AImi mountains a grand piece of work. A high mountain range has been erect ed, the tops towering away up in the air, suow-capil at the peaks, and the trees lower down, all artificial masonry and paint. As you pass up the Pike you can hear the strains from the Orien tal musicians and numerous bands. After passing numerous restaurants and souvenir stands, the first place of inter est is "Mvsterious Asia." Once in Asia you will see native dwelling houses, Us t lis aud business places; each trade- man drawing trade from the Fair visi tor. People here are dressed in native costume and speak their native tongue. Many have acquired enough English to attract the visitors to their booths. There are 'theatres aud shows in Asia aside from the general admission. From Asia you pass along up the Pike to the next real interesting feature. "Over and Under the Sea." The entire building is a H!rfect blaxe of light. There is a huge tank of water in w hich you find a sub marine vessel. This boat has a capac ity of 600 passengers. After the passen gers have descended into the cabin the boat is submerged and the trip com mences. The effects are thoroughly electrical, the whole thing being an il lusion. The boat seems to fly past things under water; sunken vessels, coal beds, etc., and finally arrives at Paris. The passengers are assisted into an elevator w hich takes them to a tow er. From the tower we enter an airship, which takes us back to St. Louis. The scenery along the way is realistic and the strangest part of it all is that the "boat" has not moved or been sunk. The whole device is run by electricity. It is hard to pick out the places to visit that will be worth vour money, as each "barker" says his show is the best, but on the way up the Pike just drop in and see the baby inctiltators. Here is operated some ten incubators with chil dren in them. Nurses are in attend ance and each case is explained by at tendants. This institution is run bv the money received from the admissions. No charge is made for the patients. This is one of the best places to see on the Pike. Up'the street and across from the incubator babies is "Creation." Now, if yon go to the fair, don't miss "Creation." It is worthy of patronage. After conducting the assciigf rt through mysterious grottos by means of a Ixut you will flually arrive under a great blue dome. Here is where creation takes place. Commencing with thefit'dt day, and following along to the seventh, a fine effect of the creation is produced. First the space, and then the sun, moon and stars; the water, earth, the animal aud plants aud lastly Adam and Eve. Everything realistic. Real people and grand scenic effects. After Creation what would be more procr than to see "llereaf-er," which is further down the Pike. Be sure and turn to the left upon entering and then well you w ill see "Hereafter." Both good and bad are represented. You are intnslueed to Mephisto and some of his assistants, aud after being conducted through sev ' eral caves and caverns you will presently .enter a large hall. Here the opNsite "Hereafter" is represented. This is til other good place to attend. Now you will drop off and try the chutes. A big "shoot the chutci" is op erated on the Pike. Next a visit to the battle of Santiago is ill order. Real bat tle ships twenty-four in uuiuIkt, rep resent this lwttle in real water. The show lasts for some time and is realistic in every detail. The entire war at this point (Santiago) is represeuted, from the storming of the forts to the last boat Iteiug sunk. There are numbers of places on the pike that are deserving of mention, but one cannot see them all, and theso are the best. There is a good reproduction of the tialveston flood and the Streets of Cairo, to say nothing of the numerous theatres that are on each side of the Pike. There is one place, however, that is grand in every detail. That is the Boer war. It is uot located on the Pike, but goes on the list as in that or der. The military camp which occupies a' space, of twelve acres is entered through 1 an exact reproduction of South Africa's ' largest Fort st Cape Town and Is closely associated with the Dutch settlement. On entering, there if a large museum of relics of the Kaffir anil Hocr wars. skins of lions, giraffes, leopards and ant lers of all descriptions, gathered from the far interior of the dark continent, ami also numerous other relics that are w ell worth a visit alone. ' The tHirformancc which is given after noon and night, commences with the in troduction of the different continents, then the principal officers w lio led on the actual field of battle; the British comprising Major W. S. Stewart, Ca p tain Chapin, I). S. O. and Captain Frank lin and Dix. The Boer officers comprise (eneral Cronje, the hero of Paardehurg; General Viljoen, Asst. Commander in Chief of the entire Boer forces, and hero of Helvetia ; commander P. I). Moll. Following, isatrilteof Basutisi, mount ed on their fieet Basuto ponies and a party of Zulus and Swaxica in their na tive war dance, mule and oxen w agon transport, giving an idea of the means of transportation, sword exercise by a squad of New South Wales lancers, Staats Artillery, and a series of exciting races. Of the three battle scenes, the first is that of Colenso, where the British under General Huller met with a crushing de feat. The scone and incidents deplicils the Tugela River at early morn, a bridge destroyed. Fort Wylie aud Grohlcr's Kloof in the distance. Action commences with the advance of British troops, naval guns in action, Colonel Long's and Hunt's guns dash up in support, terrific firing from the Boers, the charge of the Imperial Light Horse, Rsllant attempt of the Davons to ford the Tugela River. A perfect hail storm of bullets attempt to save the guns, repulse of Hilyard's men, a last attempt to rescue guns, ending in capture of the guns by the Boers. The second scene is that of Paardeburg and surrender of Cronje. This engage ment lasted eleven days and resulted in crushing all the hopes of the Boers be ing able to uphold their independence ; the time of scene here reproduced is that of the last part and surrender which creates profound sympathy and interest. IRVING BATH. show goods courteous treatment, our motto. W. Crop Report. The past week has beeu dry, with cool nightsaud warm afternoon. Pasturage, potutoe and . gardens need raiu badly, but corn and hos are standing the dry weather better than exiected. The grain harvest is drawing to a. close, aud most of the wheal iu the Willamette val ley and in southern Oregoa has been cut and threshed. Fall wheat and barley yield are generally aliove the average. Spring w heat and oats are below the av erage in quantity, but above the average in quality. Hops are doing well and the vines are free from vermin. Picking will begin iu the early yards within two weeks. It is hard to judge the sixe of the crop on account of the increased acreage, but in dividual yards will not pro. luce ai abund antly as they did last year. Coin is doing remarkably well and the ears promise to be large and well tilled. Without rain soon potatoes will lie a poor crop. Apples iu some locali ties have dropped badly, but the crop is still good. Peaches, plums and black berries are plentiful in the market. No Traffic Connections. William Reed, writing to the Morning Oregouiau, under recent date says ; "My intention is called to a statement in the Oregon ian saying that a huuter or other person 'had at last discovered Ja practicable route to Tillamook from North Yamhill, ami wanted a bonus for show ing that routi w hich requires a one mile tunnel. . Pardon me saying it is many year ago' w hen I was president of the Astoria & Seaside Railway, ami was building it that the latter company's. surveyors dis covered aud surveyed three practicable routes, one from Astoria, and two from Portland to Tillamook. There can be obtained a I per cent grade all the way from the Southern Pacific at Hillsboro to Tillamook, with a tunnel under one mile in length near the summit. There is also a 2 per cent line for ten miles w ithout a tunnel, which could make the; conned ion at Newton.

An Old Deed Recorded. A deed that calls for the payment of ten million nine thousand and fifty dol lars in settlement, and that w as executed April 16, 1870, has just reached lieutou county to be placed on record. It is a deed of trust of Congressional land grant from the Oregon and California railroad company, to Faxon D. Atherton, Mil Urn S. Latham and William Norria. The deed has already laieu recorded iu nine comities, as ollow : Multnomah, Claka mas, Marion, Liun, Lane, Douglas, Washington aud Jacksou, aud w ill now lie recorded in Hen ton, in order that the title may lie made perfect In all the counties in which the land is located. Why the deed has len 34 years in reaching Corvallis for record, is a matter not explained. Corvallis Times. The work of organizing Development clubs throughout the state is now pro gressing nicely, and the people generally. are enthusiastic la helping to advertise Oregon, . At the present rate, it will not be long until almist every town in the state will have a live, progressive organ isation of this kind, aud then, when all begin pull together, it will soon be known abroad that Oregon is on sarin, and also what this great state is capable of doing in the way of providing home for settlers and, getting settlers to come here. To date, there are fourteen com mercial rlulsi which have gone into the Oregon Development League, and there is no excuse for Shermaieountv to be left out. Each town in the county should have a club of some kind that should lielong to the league, and there by makingknown our resources. Vt ae co News. SHE V I i
