the lumbermen. To carry iheir pro

" for this purpose. The lumbermen ..sAip

months at a time by , shlppfhg their

Tet 'at our busiest season they come

letters here everyThour of the day

The laying of a cable from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu will not be more dif
ficult than the laying of a cable In the
Atlantic, and the latest survey shows
that a level plain of, soft mud stretches
from Honolulu to the Midway Islands
at a depth of 2,700 fathoms.
jfBeitween th Midway Islands and
Guam there is another level ; plain of
from 3,100 to 3.200 fathoms. A short
dlatanceeast. of ihe Ladrone ktoud of
islands lies the Nero Deep, the great
depth of which it was at first believed
would precluJe the laying of a Pacific
cable. A route has been found to the
north, however, and the difficulty has
been avoided. . :; i v' " .;.;..-;

Oregon should devise some legislation
calculated, to more fully protect Umber
of the .state from seriocs conflagrations.
A suggestion has been made that a
be framed with a view of Instituting a
Are patrol under the direction of the
Aierlff. of each county, the tax to main
tain the patrol to be levied by a special
tax on each district where the patrol
is desli ed. The owners of timber lands
would generally Be very willing to pay
a tax of this nature. If it were prac
ticable to pass a bill restrtoting the
time for lawfully burning a "slaahng"
from the month of October to the 1st
of May, much danger of destroying the
green timber would be averted. While
the farmer comes in for a considerable
share of criticism in causing confla
grations. it is well to keep in mind that
many l loggers are almost criminally
careless in their methods, and many
serious fires are attributable to their
direct negligence. The farmers in the
burned sections .of Oregon and Wash-
nglon have probably in the aggregate
been the heaviest losers by the recent
conflagrations, hence their assistance
In urging the Legislature to pass rem

An enterprising i gentleman from
somewhere or nowhere was selling ar
tificial peaches and other luscious ap
pearing fruits at the Fair Grounds dur
ing last week. The peaches were paint
ed and stuffed with cotton. They looked
Lvery much like the real thing. A gen
tleman from Podunk precinct,' Crook
county. -bought one of the "peaches.'
and went off to one side and sat. him
self down to have a feast like he used
to have when he was a boy with cheeks
like the imitation fruit. After settling
himself comfortably, and getting his
mouth watered to the right mellowness
for thejnJoyment ot his luscious pur
chase., he deliberately pulled out his
knife a knife with a long blade that
opened with a click and proceeded,"
with expectation writ large on his fea
tures, to wlp the said knife on the
seat of his trouser loons, then -to swipe
the sharp end of the keen blade across
the blooming cheek of the peach; hold
ing it, off. so that the juice would hot
besmear his clothes or face. Imagine
his disappointment when the blade
plunged into the stuffed interior of the
artificial peach: His language would
sound all right on; the sheep range ! of
