Don't forget that commencing September 1st aud continuing daily for two mouths, tickets will be on sale at almost every railroad station in the East to all points iu Oregon and the Northwest at what has come to be popularly known as "Colonist rates." These rates are the cheap est general long distance 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 inceutive to colonization and pro gressive home building of any known agency, and if the restless, dissatisfied resident of the East is made to know before hand the ad vantages he can enjoy here, the problem is solved, and the star ol empire will continue to move stead ily 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 a do.en, and you will be exerting a worthy influence toward the upbuilding of our state. Send them to your nearest Southern Pa cific agent or to XX' ru.

Judge I .and is in the United States district court has fined the Standard Oil company $29,240,000 for viola tion of the law against accepting rebates from railroads, which was a mighty good thing and will give Mr. Rockefeller some thing besides golf to think about. Now if some- thing can be done to prevent the Standard Oil company from putting I up the price of oil, so the people will have to pay the fiue, everything will be fine. But can it be done? Hops in the Dalles district pro mise an early crop. X'ermin have appeared in nearly all olthe yards, but are liug held in check by the hot weather and vigorous spraying. Prospects of low prices early in the season caused many of the growers to cultivate lightly in order to save expense, and as a consequence the crop will be light. No trouble is anticipated iu securing pickers for the yards in the Dallas district. Gambling has been shut down iu Astoria, aud in every one of the four counties in the Fifth Judicial district Clatsop, Clackamas, Col umbia and Washington. The gam blers of Astoria say they will make no attempt to evade the law, still, t will be just as well to watch the fraternity. They are slippery.

From information received from Orcgonian correspondents in the hopgrowiiig sections ot the state the yield thin year is figured at ap proximately the sainc as it was last year.

The next 30 days may briug somewhat of a change in crop con ditions, but from present indications the yield will run somewhere be tween 145,000 aud 150,000 bales in Oregon. The following are the reports received up to last night: SALEM RSTIMATKS 140,000 BALKS. Salem, Or., Aug. 4. Estimates from the most couservative dealers of this district, who have made a tour of the hopgrowing territory terially changed. The long, dry. cool weather has been ideal for hop growing, aud the quality at this time is above the average. The hops are in splendid condition aud almost free Irom lice. Unless some sudden change in weather condi tions intervenes, the Lane county crop will be up to the average iu quantity and quite alnjve iu the quality of the hops. Ol'TLOOK HKTTKK THAN LAST YEAR. Woodburn, Or., Aug. 4. There will be a larger hop yield iu this section this season than iu any pre vious year and the quality will be mostly choice. The lice have prac tically disappeared and all but a few old yards that have leeu given no attention are making a fine showing. Some of the old yards are looking better than for the past five years. The new yards show up well and will make an excellent record this year. A party who has made a thorough inspection of the yards in this vicinity was in the city yesterday and reports the out look very bright, corroborating the opiniou of others as to large yield and good quality.

Where the Oregon Press Association W'.l Jlold Their Outing This Year. Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 6. Ac cording to private advices received from New X'ork from Castalia, Ohio, the wealth of Johu D. Rockefeller has made possible the cure of men ingitis. Dr. Simon Flexner of New York has discovered a scrum which will cure the dread diseases. Ex periments made at Castalia have demonstrated the efficiency of the serum. "It is a most remarkable discov ery" said Dr. S. Corsuch oLCastalia, today. "Not one ol the patients could have possibly got well. A girl was oue of the first attacked, and was almost dead when the serum was applied. No one thought she would recover Yet now she is get ting well. , "We doctors have said nothing alx)ut the matter, because of the fact that the cases were of an exper imental nature. However, we have kept, through Dr. Flexner, in con stant touch with the progress of pa tients, and feel that experiments have demonstrated absolutely that the serum will cure meningitis. One of the worst diseases in th$ hu man calendar has been conquered, without doubt." Physicians say the serum is one of the discoveries of the age, as it means the saving ot thousands of lives. The percentage of deaths in meningitis is over 99. The disease is uniformly fatal. The Astoria & Columbia Rirer Railroad is giving an excellent kt vice for its beach traffic this season. Two through trains art run daily from Portland to Clatsop Beach leaving atS;oo a. m. and 6:00 p. a. returning leaving Seaside at 7:1 a. m. and 5:00 p. m. In addition to these trains there is a Saturday special tearing Portland at 2:10 p. ra. and arriving in Seaside at 6:55 p.m. The hotel accommoda tions at Clatsop Beach resorts art excellent and ample for the heavy summer travel.

A professor in the State Univer sity oi Kansas, at Lawrence, la ments the ruthless mutilation ot trees In his city, and asks the American Forestry Association for a remedy. The secretary has ad vised him to organize a local branch of the American Forestry Associa-, tion, conduct a local agitation in favor of preserving the shade trees of the city, using conversation, platform, pulpit, press and other available agencies, and thus devel op the public sentiment that will end the vandalism referred to. The news that the plague in India has caused 1,060.067 deaths in the j first six months of the year would ' undoubtedly attract a great deal of j attention if India were not so far 1 away.

The Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallis will provide an attrac tive exhibit at the Greater Oregon state fair, September ifS-at, at Sal em. They have applied for the en tire space in the main pavilion west from the entrance to the auditor ium. The government experimen tal station ot Union will also parti cipate, using 500 square feet of wall space for the display of grains and grasses. The exhibit of the Agri cultural college will lie collected with a special view of attracting young people to the school. A stereopticau show, presenting views of Oregon, on the same plan as was seen at the Lewis & Clark exposi tion in Portland, free to all visitors will be a feature of this depart ment. ' An Omaha dispatch says that the j-cent rate is increasing the receipts of the railroads in Nebraska. Clatsop Beach. The Clatsop Ileach resorts are ex ceedingly popular this season, large ly due to the excellent train service that is being given by the Astoria and Columbia River railroad. Two through tiains are run daily from Portland to Clatsop Beach; morn ing train leaving at 8 o'clock, eve ning train at 6 o'clock. In addi tion there is a Saturday special 1 : t 1 . , , icavmg 1 oruauu at 3:10 p. m., ar riving at Seaside at 6:55 p. m. Hotel accommodations are first- class, and there are all kinds of amusement at each resort. The county exhibits at the Or egon state fair in Salem are always interesting, and a big advertising feature for the sections represented. This year six counties will exhibit, as follows: Marion, Benton, Lane, Linn, Clatsop and Multnomah. The last two have never been repre sented before. The county courts of Multnomah and Clatsop counties have each appropriated $1000 to provide for an adequate display, Marion county will exhibit but she will ndt compete for the prize. The outside counties say that Mar ion has an advantage in leing nearer the fair. Accordingly she will withdraw and the other con testants will all have an equal chance. Individual farm displays will al so be a prominent feature in the pavilion. Two entries have alrea dy been made: Mrs. F. A. XX'olf of Falls City and W. H. Hulburt of Albany. The first prize in this di vision is f 100 in cash and a f 75 Studebaker wagon, donated by that house, while the second premium will be $50 in cash and a 65 Iowa Cream separator, donated by the Mitchell, Lewis & Staver company.

PRKDICTS 20 PKK CENT lU-CKKASE. Hillsboro, Or.. Aug. 4. The hop crop of Washington county this season bids fair to be Joper cent less than last year's product. This shortage is due to lack of cultiva tion, owing to bad weather at a time when yards should have had care; to lice and Ixk of spraying; to the fact that there is some blight in many yards that last season were free from fault. Last year's Washington county product went about 8000 bales, and it is estimated that this season the output will be slightly over 6000 bales. In many districts the lice have been prolific and. as spraying is expensive, many yards were not given any spraying whatever. So far as can le IcaraeJ the quality ol hops is up to the standard, this county generally ItaJiug the state in this regard. LANK COt 'N TV H"1.HS .IP.
