Fire Raging In Cascades.
A forest fire Is raginK about six
miles from Detroit. In the Cascade
mountains, east of Albany, at the
terminus of the Corvallis ft. Eastern
railroad. Large tracts of the most
valuable timber In Orecon are situ
ated around Detroit. If the fire In
that section should get beyond control
the damage that would result is be
yond estimation. The timber is most
ly of the fir variety, and Is owned
largely hv the 'Curtis lumber com
pany and Eastern capitalists.
, Price of Hops Ra's'ng.
Twenty-two cents has been offered
for hops of the crop of 1902. This is
Information received by Manager
Winstanley. of the Oregon Hopsrow
ers' association from a reliable
source. While this price has been of
fered for one lot of hons. It Is not con
sidered the market price, but merely
tndlmtes that the market Is strong at
the figure generally quoted, 20 cents.
Few sales, If any, are taking place.
Wheat Low at Pendleton.
Pendleton buyers are offering ex
tremely low prices for wheat, com
nared to quotations In other places.
Two sales have lust been made at
70 cents. Another small lot has
been sold st 71 cents. At Eureka
Junction n offer of 76 cnts has been
made for hluetm. At Walla Walla
bluestem Is selling In the neighbor
hood of 75 cents.
Rich Value aw Powef Creek.
Shrp Bros, ft Holman. miners of
Powell creek, made a quartx discov
ery of unusuallv excellent apparance
on the headwate-) of that stream a
few days aro. They hav uncovered
a ledge four feet In width, sample;
from which have given values of $S0
to the ton.
Sals of Bohemia Mfnea.
William Griffith and son. O. K. Orif
"th. ff Oregon City. hve told thlr
Hmadway rroup of mines In the Bo
hemia district to the Oreeon Surety
'omnanv. It Is understood that the
consideration was $3B,0O0.
0O0D CROP IN POOR STRAW.
Plump Berries Fill the Head ol Marlon
Wheat Stalks.
At the end of a week'B work with
the threshing machines the reports
received are to the effect that the
wheat crop In Marion county is turn
ng out much better than was ex
pected. Manager J. G. Graham, of
Balfour, Guthrie ft Co.'s office in
3alem, says that yields are running
'torn 25 to 60 bushels per acre, and
even a little better than the last
named amount Is reported In some in
stances. Mr. Graham has heard of
no crop that has yielded less than 25
bushels per acre this year. The qual
ity Is good.
Farmers were evidently deceived
'ly the looks of the straw this year.
The stand of straw was poor, and the
farmers looked for only fair yields at
best, but it seems that the heads of
wheat were niied out from end to end
with plump grain and the yield was
thus greater than appearances indi
cated.
WILL WAIT A YEAR.
Pru negro wvrt' Insurance Company Can
not Begin Business Now.
The directors elected by the recent
ly organized Prunegrowers' mutual
Insurance company have decided not
to begin business this season. An
igreement was made with the Oreeron
mutual fire relief association, of Mc
Mlnnville, by which that company
will extend its work so as to include
nrune dryers. Under the agreement
the Oregon Mutual will fix a. rate of
issessments on prune dryers which
will make the cost of Insurance 50
ner cent of the rates charged by old
line companies.
The prunegrowers may perfect
'heir organization so as to operate a
mutual company of their own by the
Mme the next drying season begins.
The directors considered It l.mpractl-
able to get their work staited this
season.
B'g fe Body Uncovered.
Recent developments at the "Lucky
uss," the property under develop
ment by W. T. Cope and others on ;
Maple Gulch, a tributary of the Ap-,
nlegate. have uncovered an ore body .
ix feet In width, while the distance
between walls is 13 feet. The ledge
"after outside of the main ore hotly
is carrying streaks and bunches of
quartz, Indicating that the whole
width may come into quartz at a lit
tle greater depth. During the whole
oropress of the tunnel, which Is now
nearly 300 feet in length, there has
been a steady increase, both In the
limensions of the vein and In the
quality of the ore. The values are
very steady and range from $8 to $20
ner ton. The mine Is easily acces
sible and the ore can be handled eas
ily and cheaply.
Tried to Blow I'p Flume.
The El Dorado ditch people at Mal
heur City are having trouble on ac-'
count of scarcity of water, and much
dissension la rife among holders of
stock who cannot obtain sufficient
water for Irrigation. Recently seven
sticks of dynamite were placed under
the flume for the purpose of blowing
!i up. Only one stick exploded, yet
considerable damage was done. Had
the miscreants understood how to use
the deadly etplosive, irreparable dam
age would have resulted.
Using New Road Law.
Columbia county Is adopting a new
system for road work under the new
law. The road master, recently ap
pointed, has made a tour of inspec
tion through the lower end of the
county and will recommend some rad
ical changes in the building of roads.

Utmost to Force the Government.
Sofia, Ang. 26. With (he rum -r of
massacres and the murder of prisoner
in Monastir now authenticated, the
general sitnati- n is considered bereja
last beiouiii g intolerable. Official and
dip omanc circles alike are coucerntd,
having every leason to believe tht a
part of the horrors enacted in the inter
ior of Macedonia have not yet come to
light.
rtierevo'utionary committee is doing
its utmost to force the handa ot the
Bulgarian government, aiuLthe imme
diate outlook is exceedingly serious.
It appears that the Turks have ob
tained the upper hand in the vilayet of
Monastir, ant! the insurgents are plan
uing to remove the center of their ac
tivity dote to the Bulgarian frontier.
Dii-patchej arriving today from the dis
turbed area are exceedingly gloomy.
Fiom Adiianople news conies of a
Turkish defeat and the extension of
the revolutionary outbreak: from Mon
aslir, the news of Turkish victories,
accompanied by barbarous exce tea.
While maty of the reports remain
without confirmation, sufficient au
thentic details are forthcoming to caui-
the authorities the gravest anxietv.
Aci'drding to the Notia Duevenik, the

on poles at Monastir, the churches were
demolished, the houses lacked and llie
town is now a heap of ashes. The peo
ple fled to the hi Is, where they are in
a starving endition.
The Duevenik also ss erts that a gen
eral ma-nacre has taken pla in the
whole vilayet of Mouusur. Nearly all
the villages have been destrnjed. The

prisoners by their guards b. s naJe an
pecially bad imprtsdon her. Many
rumors are current of massacres in the
city of Adiianople, and travelers to
night continue 1 them. The remaining
population in afraid to leave the houees.
The prisons are full, and the vali
has taken private houtei to be used
as jails. W ben the Kussian consul
protested at the situation, the vali it
rep rted to luve answered that he was
powerless against the fanatical popula
tion.

His rapture is expected at any minute,
as he is surrounded in the willows on
the bank of the Truckee river.
