There ia a market shortage on farm laborers in Linu county, and farmers are experiencing extreme difficulty in housing their crops. All classes of grain will be ready for harvest soon, and almost at the same time. This complicates matters and creates a greater demand for help than ordinary. Tj meet the occasion farm rs are doubling forcea in tbo baying and In tbia way the work ia progressing rapidly, and Boon the greatest output of bay Linn county baa ever produced will be on the market. A part of tha work of threshers this year will be separating seed from the vetch straw. Large ordera for vetch seed have been received, a number of them coming from Portland wholesale Louses. Many Claims to Adjust Salem When the next legislature convenes one of the most important du ties which will devolve upon the joint committee on claims will be the adjust uient of a large grist of claims aggregat ing a total of over 1425,000 in princi pal, upon which interest will be de manded from the state at the legal rate of 6 per cent, and tor all periods of time Tanging from three months to a year and a half. The most complex ques tion which the committee and tha leg islature must determine is which ot the claims (or interest, in equity, should be allowed and which should ba reject ed.

Must Tell Police Their Troubles. Salem- If the gillnet fishermen do not want their rights to fish in the tide waters of the Columbia river to be im posed npon by owners and operators of fish traps, gears, etc., they will have to take their troublea to the "policeman" and have the matter adjusted by the courts through the regular process This, in effect, is the decision arrived at by the state board of fish commia sioners while considering the complaint of illegal fishing with traps in the tide waters of the Columbia made by Secre tary It.

Dr J. A.

The doctor received a eold medal and special mention at the Lewis and Clark exposition.

VALLEY FARMERS COMBINE. Will Obtain Their Grain Bags Inde pendent of Buyers. Salem There is a lively war on be tween Willamette valley farmers and the valley millers and warehousemen, growing out of the question of furnish ing sacks for grain. It baa always been the practice for warehousemen and millers to furnish sacks to farmera and take tha value of the racks out of the purchase price of the grain when sold Recently millers and warehousemen in other valley countiea decided to di continue this practice and to require farmers to buy tbe sacks outright Marion and Polk county grainbuyers bava practically agreed to tbe same plan, though no formal action has been taken. "This is a blessing to valley farm ers," declared W. A. Taylor, a promin ent grain farmer. "The warehousemen have got none the atart of us, tor al ready we have begun arranging to boy aacks independent of them. We nave placed ourselvea in their power too long. Now the farmers will build granariea on their own farms, buy only sacka enough to haul grain from the field to the granary, let tha grain lie loose in bins, and thus be compelled to buy only one-tenth aa many sacks as they do. "I have learned by experience that I can aometlmes get 8 cents more a bush el for my wheat by having possession of tbe grain when I get ready to. aell Farmers can make enough in a single season by increased prices ot wheat to pay for tbeir granariea. "Let tbe warehousemen combine We are doing something in that line ourselves and we shall buy our sacks without paying tribute to the ware housemen." Coyote Hunters Make Money. Albany Catch lag coyotes now pays well In Linn county. Tbe Ltnn Coua tv Coyote club, compostd of residents of the foothill region, in tbe eastern part of the county, where tbe little beasts frequently cause trouble, .pays a reward of $10 for each scalp and the county conrt has now added a bounty of $1 per scalp. Ten dollars seems a big reward, but there are enough men in the club so that the death of a coyote coats them only about Id centa each, and they are glad to get rid of the beasts at any coat. , Hot Weather Cooka Fruit. Salem The excessively hot weather of the past week has done a great amount of damage to auch small and tender fruits as the raspberry, logan berry and even cherriea. In some in stances the fruit has been literally cooked on the vines or trees and has been spoiled for sale as a first-class ar ticle. Because of the long season of cool, moist, cloudy weather the fruit was in no condition to withstand tba sudden change to dry, hot weather. Big Log Drive In Progreas. Albany The Spalding Logging com pany ia now dumping into tbe Willam ette river above Albany ita annual drive of logs for the mills at Oregon City, and for ita own lumber mills at Newberg. This years' drive will con sist of 12.000,030 feet of logs, and will be one of tbe largest on record. It is now in tbe vicinity of Harrisburg, in Linn county, and will be several days getting down to Albany. Benson Files Bond. Salem Secretary of State-elect Frank W. Benson has filed his official oath and bond in the sum of $10,000 with Governor Chamberlain, who has ap proved the same. W. C. Bristol la Reappointed. Oyster Bay, L. I.

Battery of Artillery Captured and Cos sacka Driven OrT. Tokio, July 6. Additional details received here of rioting in Vladlvoato. indicate that so far tbe loyal troops have been unable to gain control of tbe aituation. Fighting ia going on on all sides, both in tbe city and the ouU skirts. Especially severe fighting has taken place in the neighborhood of the outlying harbor defenses, where lh rioters succeeded in capturing a battery of artillery. The gunners made but a scant shew ot resistance, It being plain that they were in sympathy with tbe rioters. . A detachment of Cosiacks attempted to recapture tha battery, but the rebels fired heavy volleys of grapeshot and shrapnel into tbe attacking column and forced if to retreat, with heavy loss. At last accounta, the rebels were still In command. Wild mobs have burned the govern ment stores in tbe heart of tha city, Ann hava am-n red DOSSMSion ot Supplies valued at a large sum. One mob stormed the city prison in an attempt to rescue a number of persons who had been arrested, after looting the mili tary supply station of a quanity of dy namite. Severe fighting, which lasted several hours, followed, but tbe prison guard was finally successful in driving awav tbe attacking forces. Information has been received here that all the Ruasian troops on the Manchurian border ara in a state of mutiny, and it is all tbeir officers can do to keep tbem in reasonable subjec tion. Revolutionary propaganda is making headway among the Russian soldiers in Siberia, and it would not be surprising if news of a general revolt there were soon to be received. BAY CITY SALOONS OPEN. Law Police Will Strictly Enforce the Againat Drunkenness. San Francisco, July 6. For the first time since April 18 the saloons were permitted to reopen yesterday. Licenses had been granted to about 600 drinking places and all did a insli ing business. To a large number oi persona tbe resumption of business at the saloons appeared to be quite a nov elty, and many were on hand when the barroom doors swung open, ftearly all tbe resorts were crowded, but up to noon no serious trouble bad been' re ported . Extra policemen were detailed lor duty in all the blocks containing sa loons. It 1m planned to place all men arrested for intoxication at work clean ing away debris from sidewalks. "All persons who show tbe effects of intoxication are to be quickly gathered in," said Chief of Police Dinan today. Patrolmen have been instructed to ncaintain order. Up to noon today but few arrests have been reported from the sub stations, and but one or two have been booked for drunkenness at the main station. I do not expect that we shall have much trouble in band ling the aituation." BATTLING WITH CHOLERA. Wheat Club, 71c; bluestem, 73c: red, 69c; valley, 71c.

Manila, July 6. The cholera situa tion has improved. The report at 6 'clock last night showed 19 new cases ince midnight of July 4 and 10 deaths. The report for July 4 shows 28 cases and 19 deaths. Two Americans. Robert Lombertx and Hart, are dead, but to date only five Americans have been seized with tbe disorder. Thus far cholera has not appeared in the Amer ican section ot the city. The Ameri cana who have been stricken live in tbe native sections of Manila. The bureau of health has refused to permit the sale of foodstuffs that may have been liable to infection. Tbe fforts of the doctors engaged in com batting the disease show results in the decrease in the number of new cases re ported. While the disease started in stronger than the great epidemic ot 1002, tbe authorities believe they have the situation now under control. For the week ending July 4 there were 116 cases and 99 deaths. For the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock on the morning of July 6 there were 12 cases and five deaths in tbe provinces. - AIITTIE LtSSON IN ADYtRSITY. COST OF LIVING IN EUROPE.

What la aald by experts to be tbe highest price ever paid for real estate la Washington was given recently for the Stone mansion on the corner of F and 14th streets, one of the hlBtorlO bouses of Washington. A Western cap italist gave $S0 a square foot for the 2,481 feet In the lot Tbe price paid Is equivalent to $U,700 a front foot. The depth of the lot Is only eighty-five feet Many stories cluster around the property, which waa built sixty years ago by the late Dr. Robert K. Stone, a wealthy physician of before war times. Dr. Stone had a fine farm on the heights overlooking the city, which was then regarded aa far out In tbe country, although the city now baa gone beyond It Mrs. John A. Logan now occupies the farm bouse, General Ixignn having bought It a few yenrs before his death. Jefferson Davis lived In the Stone mansion many years. It was In this house that the plans that led to the secession of the Southern States were mode.

It waa for this corner that a Washington capitalist made an offer to the late "Joe" Wlllard, the eccentric millionaire hermit, who for years lived alone across the street ad Joining the Davis bouse. Meeting Wll lard at one of his Infrequent emergen cies from hla den, the capitalist asked blm If he would sell tbe corner lot. Wlllard said he might "I will cover It over with sliver dol lars. Mr. Wlllard, if you will aell It" said the Intending purchaser. Wlllard said he would take the offer under consideration. Nothing was heard from him for nearly a year, when the two attain met on the street. "How about that offer I made yoo for that corner, Mr. Wlllard?" asked the capitalist "Well, my friend," replied Wlllard, "there la one point alsut the offer I have wanted to have elucidated some what How did you propose to lay those silver dollars on that lot edge wise or flat?"
