Anent Forest Fires. Oregon Tlmberman. Springwater, Ore., Oct. 27, 1902. The iimoerman: n id with pleasure that I comply with your request of the 25th instant. The damage done in Clacka mas county by the tire of September 11 13 is rather hard to estimate. The com mittee here, of which your correspond , ent is secretary, are gathering data as fast as possible. The information I am giving you in this letter only covers a territory of about 40 square miles, that is, a stnpabout ten miles longand about four miles wile. The strip includes the settlements of Kickapoo, Ilocky Point and Springwater, lam unable at this time to give the losses sustained at Bea ver Creek, Highlands, Viola and other points in the county; but I may in the near future be able to supply the defi ciency. In the neighborhood of which I speak. 101 farmers have lost in the fire, and their losses range from f25.00 to $2,700. We have estimated the loss so far at $55,545, but these-figurea will be revised some, and the total amount Mill be increased a few thor.pand dollars. We have not estimated the loss to orchards, fruits, or timber. The loss to fruit will be about $1,200, at present pricesof dried prunes and apples. The total amount as above does not mean what it will cot-t to rebuild, but about the cash value of the old buildings and fences, neither have we estimated the decreased value of stock, caused by the forced Felling of the same made necessary by the total destruction of hay and grain in many instances. To be fair with those who have lost, I will say that $100,000 will barely put them in as good a condition as before the fire. Now a word as to the timber. This part of Clackamas is not noted for its first class timber.for, as a rulo, the trees are short and very limby. I find by close inquiry that about 10 sections have been burned over, and with the excep tions of about two sections, the timber stumpage would amount to no more than for cordwood. A good, fair esti mate of the loss to timber would be about $7,500 probably 80,000,000 feet, and this would make fair lumber if sawn in the next three or four vears. While the people of Springwater and vicinity have received considerable aid from Oregon City and elsewhere in the way ol clothing, money, etc., for their immediate wants,yet much suffering will be experienced before spring. Whilo losses have been very heavy, int-urance has been light, as only a very few were insured, and then for only a nominal sum. I admire the position you are taking in regard to setting out forest fires, and could you see the devastation to the farm ers here, from the carelessness of hunt ers and campers with their fires, you would say that a law-making it a misde meanor to hunt or put out a camp fire during the dry senson would be about the proper thing. Give us more strin gent fire laws then call out the army and navy to enforce them. Respectfully yours, L. W. Van Dyke. Sec'y Springwater fire relief committee. Thanksgiving Proclamation. According to the yearly custom of our people, it falls upon the president at this season to appoint a day of iestival and thanksgiving to God. Over a cen tury and a quarter has passed since this country took its place among the nations of the earth and during that time we have hud on the whole more to be thankful for than has fallen to the lot of any other people,. Generation after generation has grown to manhood and passed away. Each has had to bear its peculiar burdens, each to face its special crisis and each has known years of grim trial, when the country was menaced by malice, domestic or foreign, when the hand of the lrd was heavy upon it in death by flood or pestilence, when in bodily distress "and anguish of soul it paid the penalty of folly and a froward heart. Nevertheless, decade by decade, we have struggled onward and upward, we now enjoy material well being, and under the favor of the Most High we are striving earnestly to receive moral and spiritual uplifting. The year that has just closed has been one of peace and overflowing plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed greater prosperity than we are now en joying. For this we render heartfelt and Bolemn thanks to the giver of good and we seek to prai-e Him not by words only, but by deeds, by the way in which we do our duty to ourselves and to our fellow men. Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, president ol the United States, do hereby designato as a day of general thanksgiving, Thursday, the 27th of the coming November, and do recommend that throughout the land the people cease from their ordinary occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto Almighty God for the manifold blessings of the past year. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this 2i)th day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1902, and of the Independence of the United States the 127th. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Real By the President. John Hay, Secretary of State. Anfo Plow. New York, Nov. 4. Diverse as the plow and the automobile would seem at first glance, Dr. Uatiing, the famous in ventor of the gun that bears his name, has hitched the two together and made farming a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." The hardest farm libc-r is thus re duced to a pastime. One more occupa tion for the horse is destroyed, and one man with an automobile plow can do the work that formerly .required 15 pairs of hands and 30 hordes. The Gatling motor plow is driven by a gasoline engine of sufficient power to propel it t anv desired depth down to twelve inches.' The truck is built like the trucks used with traction engines, except that the steam boiler is replaced by a strong platform on which is placed the gasoline engine, which is connected to the traction gearing by series of wheels; to this "truck is attached a set of disk plows, which may be geared to run at any depth or any angle needed to gie the liest results when plowing. With this machine it is estimated that one mau can plow from 30 to 35 acres in one day. To plow this number of acres in one day with the ordinary plow would require 15 men ami 30 horses, so when it comes to cultivating one, of our large Western farms, it is easy to estimate the large drove of horse and the great num ber of men required to do the plowing and the immense cost to the owner to house lnd feed them. All that is required to operate the Gat ling plow is for the farmer to sit upon the cushioned seat of the truck and work the controller, which is uot unlike those attached to automobiles; or, if he hap pens to be indisposed, his wife can take his place. ... It is generally estimated that the cost of plowing under ordinary conditions is $1.5i) per acre. Then the further prep aration ot the ground oy narrowing nnu rolling costs another 50 cents er acre. With the Gatling machine the ground beoomes thoroughly pulverized and the To'liinr i not rvoilired. A harrow attached to the machine will.1 do the smoothing, ami a aatA dvitl at tallied behind this will do the seed in 2 so that the plowing, harrowing and seeding may all be done with one pas sage of the machine and at just about one-fourth the cost of the present meth ods, thereby enabling the wheat grower of the United States to compete in the markets of the world with a profit to himself. Breath iuir Wells of Nebraska. In a recent paper published by the United States geological survey, on wells and windmills in jNebraska, mention is made of the interesting phenomena of the breathing or blowing wells which are found distributed throughout a large portion of the state of Nebraska. These wells are of the driven type mostly in use upon the plains, but are distill' guished from those of ordinary char acter by a remarkable and unexplained egress and ingress of currents of air which produce dibtmctly audible sounds and give the names variously applied to them of breathing, sighing, blowing or roaring wells, according to their charac ters in different places. The air currents are readily tested with the flames of candleB, or by dropping chaff or feathers into the well tubes, there are periods when these wells blow out for several days, and equal periods when their air currents are reversed. It has been oh served that the blowing occurs with changes of the barometer. Some wells are found to bo most audible when the wind is from the northwest, with a rise in wuter level ; but with a change of wind, air is drawn in and the water is observed to sink. During the nroeress 01 a low-oarometer area over one of these regions, wind is violently expelled from the wells, with a noiBe distinctly audible for several rods. Professors Lovelandand Swezey, of the University 01 jeurasKa, nave maue observations on a well of this nature in Perkins county, and found that its breathing periods were exactly coincident with the baro metric changes. the citizens of the region have at tempted many explanations of the wells. Some have reasoned that the blowing is probably due to the liberation of gas produced from petroleum, and that as petroleum is a natural distillation from great coal fields, there must be an abundant supply of the latter mineral beneath the surface. Fortunes have been staked upon this deduction and much time consumed in a fruitless search for coal. Others have noticed the change of current which some wells show every twelve hours, morning and evening, and have thought that this reg ular oscillation was due to a tidal action of the sheet of water, erroneously con sidering the latter as a great subterra nean lako. The phenomena are most frequently attributed by scientific ob servers to atmospheric pressure, which, though probably exerting great influ ence, is uot necessarily the whole cause. The material through which the wells are driven may throw some light on their peculiarities. In southeastern Ne braska a layer of dense limestone about 4 inches thick lies beneath 50 to 100 feet of subsoil. Below the limestone is found water-bearing gravel. When the lime stone covering the water-bearing beds is penetrated, water under slight pressure rises about one foot. The water-bearing layer is very porous and must always contain more or less air. As the air above and the air inclostd in the gravels below are alike subject to the fluctua tions of the barometer, it follows that if the surface air is rendered less dense the air below will pass out through the well openings until equilibrium between the rarer air and denser air is established, the opposite effect will follow during a period of high pressure. Still, this ex planation, plausible as it is, hardly ac counts for the force with which the ail is expelled from some of the wells, and a more comprehensive study of the problem is needed to satisfactorily ex plain all the phenomena. l)o Not Sleep on Your Left Side. When a patient complains of a bad taste in his mouth every morning on waking up, says a physician, the first question I ask him is as to the position he assumes when going to sleep. An immense number of people sleep on the loft side, and this is the most common cause of the unpleasant taste which is generally attributed to dyspepsia. If a meal has been taken within two or three hours of going to bed, to sleep on the left side is to give the stomach a task which it is difficult in the extreme to perform. The student of anatomy knows that all food enters and leaves the Btoinach on the right side, and hence sleeping on the left Bide soon after eat ing involves a sort of pumping operation which is anything but conducive to sound repose. The action of the heart is also inter fered with considerably, and the lungs are unduly compressed. It is probable that lying on the back is the most nat ural position, but few can rest easily so, and hence it is best to cultivate the habit of sleeping on the right side. It is very largely a matter of habit, and the sooner it is acquired the better for the sleeper and the worse for the physician. Another sleeping habit that is inju rious, especially to the lungs, is that of curling up, drawing the shoulders to gether and thus diminishing the capacity of the chest and compressing the lungs. Great harm may result from this habit and it should be carefully guarded against. Circuit Court. Surroundings at the court house this morning were very favorable to court ing when Judge Itradshaw opened cir cuit court. The room having been thoroughly overhauled and refitted looked very attractive and caused even (he Juror to keep (heir eyes open for a time, while the judge assumed renewed dignity befitting the occasion. The docket being read, proved that while a great deal of business will come up, it will not he of such a nature as to pro long the session. Three or four crim inal cases will be tried and a like num lerof civil cases. J L Harper and J. Doberty were tipjHiinied court bailifls, and (he following J'irors presented themselves: R Sigman, Hans IJige, Amos Root, Henry .Maliew, L C Heti nigan, C C Holiart, F E McCorkle, Jus l.e Due, I, J Klinuvr, John Mann, C A Hell, V H Stoiighlon, Newt Patterson, tl A Liebe, F X Kramer, Charles Koh ler, J L Kelly, D S Kimsey, Albert Uineroth.

Chronicle. A Nigger'i Confession. 1 Editor Glacier: I noticed in your last issue an interesting problem relative to the stealing of some applet by some "niggers." You seem to think they were not Btolen in Hood River valley. I desire to confess and tell the whole truth. They were stolen quite recently from a prominent fruit grower 8 orchard on the East Side, and they were of the Ben Davis variety. We made a great mistake, owing to the reputation of the grower. W e didn't suppose ttsat we could find such worthless apples in a first-class orchard. I have disposed of my share ol the apples stolen to a sole leather manufacturer in Portland. I didn't know my pals had given me away so badly until 1 read the account in your paper, but since our actions have been published, and I confess to the low act of helping to steal a sack of Ben Davis apples, I will now tell just how many we stole : When we hid the sack in the barn, it contained just 79 apples. The first nig ger threw one away and took of the remainder, which was 26, leaving 52 apples in the sack. The second nigger found 52 apples, threw one away and took 1-3 of the remainder, which was 17, leaving 34 in the sack. The third nigger (myself) found 34 apples, I threw one away and took of the remainder, which was 11, leaving 22 m the sack. The next morning when all three of us met to disguise our distrust of the other follows, we found 22 apples; we threw one awav and each took seven. Now, Mr. Editor, I feel awful bad over the publicity of this whole affair; more on account of us getting tooled in the dark and going to so much, trouble to get nothing but Ben Davis apples, I'll confess my mistake and will never visit any more orchards after dark. Say, Mr. Editor, since I commenced to write you I have heard from the sale of my Ben Davis apples. The tannery company says that they are just what they want, the fungus and brown rust on them make the skin very desirable for leather, and the pulp will be ground up and compressed into patent shoe heels. I am lucky after all to find such an easy market for my Ben Davis. Now don't expose me for confessing to you, I have a kind heart and a clear conscience and could not bear this burden any longer. Your friend, ONE OP THE JMOOKRS. . A Magazine Thirty Tears Old. The Christmas (December) number of the Delineator is also the thirtieth anni versary mini ber.Todo justice to this num ber, which for beauty and utility touches the highest mark, it would be necessary to print the entire list of contents. It is sufficient to say that in it the best mod ern writers and artists are generously represented. The book contains over 230 pages, with 34 full-page illustrations, of which 20 are in two or more colors. The magnitude of this December num ber, for which 728 tons of paper and six tons of ink have been used, may be un derstood from the fact that 91 presses running 14 hours a day, have been re quired to print it ; the binding alone of the edition of yio.ouu copies represent ing over 20,000,000 sections which had to be gathered individually by human hands.

She was in an extremely nerv ous condition when she took the poi son, and after taking it walked some distance Into the country to the house of a friend before she succumbed to its effects. It was three hours before death relieved her sufferings. Dr. Logan, county coroner, held an inquest on the body the next day, Uie jury bringing in a verdict of self destruction. A cer tain amount of blamels justly due the druggists for selling a dangerous drug to a person in her mental condition.but more censure is due to (hose who drove the unfortunate, girl to commit tbe rash act.
