Bungalowmania.
Great grandfather lived in a dwelling
of logs,
It was squatty and dingy and
plain.
But 'twas there that ho dwelt, with
his kids and his dogs,
Nor minded the snow and the rain;
If he'd lived there now, he'd have
perked up a bit,
And pride would have sat on Jiis
brow;
He'd havo looked on his house as an
artistic hit
For they cull cabins bungalows
now.
The Smiths used to live in a house
made of sod
On the plains where the Kansas
winds sweep;
Thoy built it of nothing but clod upon
clod,
And its lines would make architects
weep;
But today it's refurnished with vines
at its door,
And a lantern upon its port bow,
It rents for sunoleons many a score,
For "soddics" are bungalows now.
So it's back to tho cabins and "sod
dies" and shacks,
If you follow the craze of tho day;
To tho dwellings that seem to sprawl
out on their backs,
For that is a bungalow way;
Kovo out of tho houses that havo an
upstairs,
And straight for the lowly sort
plow;
Pick up a hencoop, a barrel, for no
body cares,
As all things arc bungalows now.

Men make up their minds, women
wake up their faces.
THE OREGONIAN'S
TIIOUGII Harvey Scott, its presiding genius, is no
more, the Oregonian will continue its career as a
great journal, growing greater as the country grows. It
has now reached that enviable stage where it does not
matter much who is editor, and editors may come and go,
but the papor will live on.
A great newspaper is the product of many minds,
greater than any single one. The gap made by the loss
of any individual in such an establishment is almost iu
stantly closed, and were not the information given out,
the general public would not appreciably notice it so
limited is the appreciation of genius.
Three things go to the making of a newspaper, brains,
money and time. An unusual amount of money will some
times shorten the time necessary to make it an established
institution if the field is ripe, but, as in the case of the.
Oregoniau 's competitors, few new newspapers succeed,
because the field does not justify their establishment.
Once established, a newspaper is as hard to kill as a
cat. In the history of the Oregoniau, written by Mr. Scott,
appeal's the following description of early competitors,
showing that even the Oregoniau was not established with
out a struggle:
"Though the Oregoniau 's competitor, soon after it
started a dairy, dropped out of the field, other papers were
started no long time after; but they, too,. were short-lived.
It is unnecessary to make any list of them here. In the
year 1866 a more pretentious and formidable effort was
made. The Oregon Herald, dailv and weekly, was start
ed; it was a democratic paper, backed by a good deal of
money, and as time went on was able to invest a good deal
more. The Herald was published nearly ten years. It
was able to get the same telegraphic news as the Orego
niau, but it never was prosperous, probably never paid
its way, and when its resources were finally exhausted
and it was forced to succumb, its various proprietors had
sunk fully $150,000. Yet, while this competitor was in
the field, the Oregoniau had still another to meet. In
1870 Ben Holladay started the Oregon Bulletin. This
paper he backed lavishly, but it was always a losing busi
ness, and after a career of a little over five years it, too,
gave up the ghost. In that time it had sunk nearlv, or
quite, $200,000.
"A third formidable effort was made in 18S0, when the
Daily Northwest News appeared. This paper was as un
successful as its predecessors. The orrigiual proprietor,
after losing a 'great amount of money, abandoned it, and it
passed from the hands of one to another, until finally, after
a career of six or seven years, it suspended. Its losses had
also been very heavy equal probably to those of either
of the unfortunate ventures that preceded it. There have
been other efforts of like kind, vigorous, yet unsuccessful,
needless to recount here. These statements are presented
as x)art of the history of the Oregoniau, since they tend to
show that it does not owe its position and success to ab
sence of competition or to the, fortune of opportunity,
but to vigilance, management and hard work."
When the field became ripe, the Journal was estab
lished . nd has been a remarkable success. But it never
hurt the Oregonian, which has continued to grow in circu
lation and business.
ANOTHER PRESIDENCY FOR MR. STEVENS.
T? LECTION of John P.
J-' North Bank railroad has again called attention to
the most remarkable figure in the western railroad vorld,
the man whq is reconstructing the map of Orr-gon and
making possible its development on an extensive plan,
thus carrying out in comprehensive and practical mp.nuer
the plans of James J. Hill, veteran empire builder.
Mr. Stevens is now executive head of all the Hill pro
jects affecting Oregon. The lines under construction
and in operation, under his .jurisdiction, include the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle, the Oregon Trunk, the Oregon
Electric, the Pacific & Eastern and the United Railways,
and it is universally conceded that no abler administrator
could be found in the railroad world, for as an organizer
and constructor Mr. Stevens has few equals.
Mr. Stevens knows all there is to know about railroads.
Though but 57 years old, he has held nearly eveiy posi
tion. He has been chief engineer of the Sabine Pass rail
road, assistant engineer of the Denver & Rio Grande,
division engineer of the Canadian Pacific, assistant en
gineer of the Milwaukee, assistant engineer of the Spokane
Falls & Northern, assistant chief engineer, chief engineer
and general manager of the Great Northern, chief engin
eer of the Rock Island, chief engineer of the Panama ca
nal, chairman of the Isthmian canal commission, and vice
president of the New Haven and Hartford. Modest and
unassuming, yet forceful and energetic, with a charming
personality, his steady advance is due to merit; he has
"made good" all along the line.
Medford and the Rogue River valley are especially
interested in Mr. Stevens. Upon his first visit a year ago
when as "Mr. Sampson" he examined the Pacific & East
ern and reported upon its purchase and construction, he
was favorably impressed and saw the possibilities of de
velopment, formulating those plans which are now being
'carried'ihto execution for giving southern Oregon a sec
ond transcontinental railroad.
THE CLACK OP
A BIGGER farce than the republican assembly has
been perpetrated by the "Kentucky Klick" (what
ever that is) in Portland, which proceeded to nominate a
complete democratic state ticket, though what authority
it had to speak for democrats of Oregon is not vouch
safed. The ticket named is as follews:
Governor, Jefferson Myers; secretary of state, C. P.
Strain, at present county assessor of Umatilla county;
attorney general, A. E, Reames of Jackson; superintend
ent of public instruction, J. B. Horner of Benton; state

treasurer, T. A. .Rinehart of Union; state printer, James
Godfrey of Marion; railroad commissioner, Oswald West
of Salem; representative in congress, First district, S. M.
Garland of Linn, or L. M. Travis of Lane; and Second
district, J". N. Teal or Dr. Harry .Lane of Portland; jus
tices supreme court, AV. T. Slater of Union ami V. 13. King
of Baker; circuit court judges, Multnomah county, Oglcs
by Young and AV. N. Gatens.
"Vith the possible excoption of tloff Myers, it is proba
ble nono of the so-callod nominees were" notified of the
doubtful honor thus to be thrust upon them. It is also
probable' that, with tho exception of ,'J'eff Myers, all will
decline tho proffered lomons, oven our distinguished fol
low townsman, A. E. Reamcs.
This clack of the Klick shows how little sense the
Portland democratic politicians havo, oven as the assem
bly showed how little tho Portland republican politicians
had. Of course Jeff Myers would be the old guard of
pie-eating politicians' choice for governor, but no one
else wants him.
NIRS.STARBUCKTOiH. C. KEHTHER
GIVE TESTIMONY
Trouble Is Expected by District At
torney in Proving Kendalls Dead
Nothing to Prove Bones Found
Are Those of Human Beings.
OAKLAND, Cal.. Aug. 0. "Mrs.
Margaret Starbuck will willingly go
before tho Sonoma county grand
jury, if tho jury is convened, to in
vestigate the death of tho Kendalls."
This statement was mndo bv Cap
tain of Detectives Peterson of Oak
land, today.
"There is no reason," ho contin
ued, "why Mrs. Staibuck should not
testify, especially since she is re
sponsible for whatever evidence
there is that a murder has been
committed.
"It seems to me that the district
attorney's office is going io have all
kinds of trouble, proving that the
Kendalls are dead. There is nothing
to conclusively show that tho bones
found nro the bones of the Kendnlls
or even the bones of a huinnn beim;.
Possibly the Sonoma county offi
cials have more proof in their po
seshion." --

Sail Luis ObUK County.
The I'erfiimo Canyon deposits, In
Sun Luis OblHpo county, consist of
a near vertical bed of llmoutto about
a mile long and S to 12 foot thick.
It Is supposed to be a bog-Iron de
posit which may havo a thickness of
2G0O feet, forming an Immonso mass
of low-grndo ore. In advance of enro-
fill exploration, however, It Is unsafo
to count on a thickness of more than
100 feet. Tho ore contains about
-It! per cent of Iron and a large per
centage of phosphorus.
CnluvcniM County,
la Culnvorns county there aro sev
eral small 'deposits of brown Iron ore,
at places a -mllo and a half northeast
of Valley Springs, half a mllo north
of Kh mora hi a, and a mllo north of
Murphy, Tho Dctort deposit, near
Valley Springs, shows several out
crops of Iron ore; tho Inrgest body
exposed Is 50 feet long and 6 feet
wide and rises about 15 feet above
the level of the knoll on which It
occurs. All tho Calaveras deposits
are small, of low grade and of little
present value.
Placer County,
Placer county contains the Metal
ing deposit, which Is six mites north
of Auburn. This has boon opened by
trenches, pita, and shafts that ex
tend along tho outcrop for ICO or
200 feet. Most of the ore Is of low
grade, but tho deposit coutnlns local
musses of clenu and high-grade oro.
