Editor Statesman:
It may seem like an ungracious, thing
for one who Is permitted to enjoy an
outintr by the sea to tell others who are
not so favored, what a ood time he
is having. On the other hand, one
should not keep all his enjoyment to
himself -Seaside" is eighteen miles
south from Astoria, and is probably the
most popular of the several resorts In
thU vicinity.: I am told that 4000 peo
ple bave been here at one time during
the present season. The number at
present Is somewhat less, and of course
it is difficult to get anything more than
an approximate estimate. There was
a large number of transients yester
day (Sabbath) from Portland and other
cities, and while all the stores, shops
and places of amusement were wide
open most of th day, and many all
day. yet I am glau to state that there
was no rowdyism that. I observed.
There are four saloons here, but I
saw no man drunk. On one side of the
boarding house where I am stopping

me than that of the latter.

in question contained twenty acres of

(and the best wheat land would easily
yield fifty.' and even sixty bushels per
cre. . very suddenly the yield com
mencea, to decrease, until twenty
bushels per acre was I considered a
good yield. It was argued by many
inat mis change was caused by the
sudden decrease in thef fertility of the
land as a result of Injudicious crop
ping. ;, p , . T.-,,-ir-
Last year the yield was much better
than the previous ? season, and j the
t present crop Is outdoing all expecta
tions. This is very gratifying to the
farmers, especially f since i wheat also
, commands a good price; market price
being 70 cents per bushel for" wtieat,
clear, of the sack. No doubt the prrs
ent "condKion Is also a "source of great
satisfaction to the valley millers, who
have had some difficulty during the
past few years in recuring a sufficient
amount of wheat to keep them sup
plied throughout the year. t;
The present hlg'i : prices being paid
for wheat will have th. effect of caus
ing farmers generally to sow more
what -this fall, and winter, than has
been the case for some time and the
crop produced next year will probably
be far ahead ofthe yield thl year.
During the last few years farmers
have ; been , devoting their energies
more and more to raising oats and
hay with the result that the largest
crop of oats ever produced in the val
ley Is now . being harvestedA.lready
the orl.ee of oats has dropped to 25
cents per bushel and indications are
that anothers lump in prices will fol
low as soon as harvest is over and the
farmers begin to force thei erops on
to the market. The cause of thfe-con-dition
is that there is absolutely no
outlet for Oregon oats. : The Govern
ment has ceased buying for the Phil
ippines; England does (Ut fant oata
for South Africa and the San Fran
cisco market Is swamped by an over
production of oats in California. So
the Oregon farmers must depend upon
home consumption for their markets
"Last season there seemed to be an
overplus of oats on hand, and lower
prices - were predicted throughout the
winter, but toward spring a shortage
In hay developed. which drove the
price of 4hat article entirely beyond
the reach of ordinary mortals, Snd
the consumption of oats was doubled,
so the great surplus gradually melted
away, and at present writing the sup
ply of old oats on hand Is not- abov
the average for other years. This
Season, however, no such condition is
expected, as there Is also a large crop
of hay in hand, almost a record
breaker, and hay is now selling for $9
per ton In Salem, with $11 offered for
timothy, more from the effects of 0
high prices last winter than through
any control of supply and demand..
At any .rate all kinds or crops are
turning . out heavy yields. an the
prices average very high, so farmers
have good reason for that complacent

'- Threshing has now commenced in all
sections of the country, most of the
machines having ; started last week,
and the remainder of those which will
eb operated this season did their first
day's threshing last Monday.
There is almost a sack famine In
Salem, as the greater portion of the
farmers . who have threshed thus far
were compelled to draw sacks th sec
ond time, as their crops turned out
better than. thalr: expectations. ; Th
custom is for farmers to draw more
sacks than they can fill, so as to avoid

From Thursday's Daily.)
It Is now generally believed that th-
flre which consumed the Thomas, Hol-
man warehouse and fanning, mill fac
tory on the southwest corner of High
and Trade streets, at an early . hour
yesterday morning, was of incendiary
origin. It Is also ' believed that th
blaze started at the east or front end
of the building, as those who first dis
covered the fire say the flames were
leaping high from this end before they
oroae tnrougn the roof .at the rear
end. This theory is also borne out by
the charred remains of the structure.
which indicate that the destruction
was greater in the front part of the
building. ' . "
Mr. J. Dancy, who is employed bv
Mr. Holman in the manufacture of
ianmng mills, left the factory at
o'clock p. m. on Tuesday everything
at that hour being In regular orderl
arid he further states that there had
been no fire of any nature In the build
ing for Iwo weeks prior to the confla
gration. . , f
A short time before, the fire was dis
covered, Mr. M. Klinger, who lives on
the southeast corner of Church and
Ferry streets., was aroused by the
barking of bis dog; he heard, two men
running east along the sidewalk on
Ferry street, and going out .into the
yard, saw them 'disappear south
through the alley between Church arid
'Cottage streets. The'aetlon of these
men helps to strengthen the heltef that
the conflagration was' due to incendi
arism. " ' ' 5
Three fanning mills, ready for de
livery, and four which were ncaring
completion, were : totally destroyed
with the building, together with an,
electric dynamo' and all the machin
ery and tools used in'the manufactur
ing of the mills. The, loss which Mr.
Holman estimates at between J $1000
and $5000, is covered by only $1500 in
surance. He has not decided as y;t
whether or not he will rebuild.
Yesterday morning's blare thorough
ly demonstrates the necessity cf a fine,
alarm system In this city.. jOn ,this
occasion the telephone. ; which Is usu
ally employed as a means of-communication
with the fire department, in
case of fire, failed to glfei prompt ser
vice, and Officer Larry Murphy, who
attempted to send In the alarm from
the White House Restaurant, on State
street, failing In his effort to raise
Central, was compelled to run to the
engine house to arouse the depart -mjept.
He had the department well on
the way to the fire before .the general
alarm was sounded by the whistle.
This means of arousing the depart
ment naturally caused delay, and even i
though this building might, not have
been saved had the department been
able to rerpond more promptly, on
some other occasion the delay might
result disastrously. , "
The delay In the central telephone
office was due to the fact that not less
than two dozen different parties were
trying to send in the alarm at. once,
and the night operator was unable to
get definite Information as to th lo
cation of the fire. A numbers of the
parties who endeavored to call central
were uring phones on he same party
line, and with several receivers, down
