The railroad has done this heretofore, and it is presumed will again accommodate the people of Oregon with excursion rates.

Intense excitement prevailed on Oak street Friday morning for a short time, as a prominent young man of the city was noticed crossing the street, bearing in his arms the recumbent form of a lady, apparently in a fainting condition and clinging in a close embrace. Var ious surmises were advanced as a pos sible solution of the mystery, some suggesting case of heart failure, with a consequent romoval to the undertak ing parlors across the way, while others inclined to the opinion that the young lady had merely fainted away, thus giving the young man an opportunity to show his gallantry by carrying her to a place of rest. However, on a nearer approach the supposed lady assumed the proportions of thn wax figure, from one of the dry goods stores, which was being conveyed to the mas sage artist for repairs.

MISS OLINGER KEEPS WELL IN THE LEAD The voting contest for the world's fair tour is scheduled to close Saturday night at 9 o'clock. Tho tickets were practically all disposed of by the firHtof this week, although by Tuesday night less than i5,000 had been voted. This means that (iO,ooo remain iu tho hands of the votei'B. Tho contest for the last three weeks has narrowed to three contestants, Miss Olingor, Miss Cramer and Miss Rich ardson. Miss Olinger began early in the contest to lead tho list, and the last vote shows her well in the lead. There are sullicient ballots in the hands ol voters as to iimko impossible any fore cast of the result. Each of the three contestants well deserves the honor of a freo trip to the world's fair at St. Louis, and it's really t"0 bad all three can't go. The contest has been a success from the start.

As the result of a long-standing feud, S. E. Kisher was shot in the back of the head by his neighbor, James Urown, a week ago Sunday night. Both men are over 70 years old. The hirdshot made only ecalp wounds, and the old man was not seriously hurt. I Jr. Ilrosius w as called from flood Kiver and dressed the wounds. No arrests were made. The quarrel it is understood arose' over the location of the boundary line between the two farms. Brown's horses got into Fishnr's field and when Fisher attempted to drive them out Brown, so it is Baid stopped the operations with a shot gun. Monday afternoon District Attorney Menefee filed information in the circuit court against Jamc Brown, charging him with assault with a dangerous weapon on the person of Samuel E. Fisher, at Mosier, Sunday September 18. It is said of Fisher that after the shot were extracted from his scalp, he remark ed that the shooting was a cowardly trick.

D., until recently pastor of the F'irst Con gregational church, Niagara Falls, ac companied by Mrs. Dill, spent last Sat urday in Hood Kiver. Itov. Dr. Dili is making a tour of the Pacific coast, ami while visiting the bounding West is entertaining tho people of his homo town with descriptions of the country published in the Niagara newspapers. Rev. Dr. Dill went for a drive through the valley Saturday morning. He was enchanted by the beauties of tho mag nificent scenery to be viewed here, and while he had always considered New York the banner apple state, he declared he never saw fruit to equal the apples that hang in great clusters on the trees in the Hood River orchards. In his next letter ho proposes to explain tho question asked in New York why it was that during the holidays of 1003, Oregon Yellow Newtown Pippins sold in Loudon for ftl.OS a bushel, netting the producer $2.25 a box, while the best and finest apples raised in othor regions sold only for $2 and $2.25. In a recent letter to the Cataract Journal of Niagara F'alls, Rev. Mr. Dill, in urging people to leave tho crowded East for the West says: "Niagara is Buro to grow. Your com ing will not depopulate it. The power city beside the rushing cataract will o'erllow her bauks with great industries and factory lifo till the rush of city life more and more wears and tears . the nerves to painful reaction. Oh, that some word of mine might win from the unhealthy lifo of a city tenement, where pale-faced children and pulseless wives with sickly faces greet at night the still paler disheartened toiler in the hand-to-mouth struggle for bread and rent, to come out to this land of sun shine, of freo lund, of good natured abundance, of health, of happiness', a wealth more golden than the yellow metal so abumlantly scattered through out the state, to au enjoyment of life which seems to bo the possession of every one out here. "Oregon is the largest of the Pacific states, with only 500,000 population upon its (11,4511,200 acres, covering its !W,0:t0 square miles. Were it so thickly populated as Khodo Island it could care for its people better than New England, though this would give to Oregon a population of 40,000,000. "Hunshiuo and soil explain all. Rich, fertile, mellow, wondroualy productive soil underneath in abundance for all; while above, overhead, around about you everywhere you wade through it, breathing and drinking it in, wondnus sunshine every day and all day long. Life out here, ho to speak, is in the open outside of doors. Few are hurried, none have impressed me as worried. It has been a very hot summer. The old timers speak of it as "a scorcher," the hottest they have known, and yet horses and their colts choose out of preference to stand in the sun or lie down in it when shade trees are not ten feet away. This is true, though the thermometer might register 120 degrees. "The air is pure and 'dry. There is oxygen in it. We have no dew. Under a board upon the ground you will find it dry. From June to September it does not rain cast of the Cascade range, which runs through the state from north to south about 100 to 150 miles from tho Pacific coast. Aa Oregon is 300 miles wide and 220 miles from north to south you readily sot the extent tof the rainless region. Yet that very region without rain will produce two and three crops of alfalfa." The writer then proceeds to tell of the large wheat yields of Eastern Oregon, and says he is on his way to Ilood River, the poinological paradise, at tho base of Mount Hood, of whose fruits, and beauties he will write later. i - V. o
