Freely Distributed. 11 William R. Lighton, author-farmer, whose writing! in tba Saturday Even Sag Poet and Country Gentleman have achieved a large reputation during the past few years, was a gueat of President J. H. Young, of the Oregon Electric and North Bank system, on an extensive trip through the Willamette valley quite recently. It was Mr. Lighton's eeeond visit to the Willamette valley. Upon this occasion ha was more enthu siastic than on his first trip, which in spired one of his characteristic articles printed ia Sunset. As one of the results of his second visit President Young has induced Mr. Lighton to consider definitely his re moval to and settlement upon a small unit farm in the Willamette valley. Mr. Lighton has said that he will do so and ha will undoubtedly dispose of his hold ings in Arkansas and make bis home here. Mr.. Lighton's popularity in the, "forward to the soil" talk that has swept the country is due to his very readable description of his experiences under the head of "The Story of an Arkansas Farm." This article details what he accomplished, as an inexpert nced agriculturist, after taking hold of a run down farm near Fayetteville, Arkansas. Mr. Lighton does not plume himself on being a notable exception in shrewd xess of farm management, but adds there are many neighbors like him who have done the same thing and have made as good showing as he has within the iast few years. He did not add, however, that others lack the entertain ing quality of seeing country life as 1 e taw it and live it and the ability of tilling it in an instructive manner. Mr. Lighton, probably, is one of the foremost constructive writers in the country today and it is believed his addition to the population of western Oregon means as much in a material gain from the influences ho will radiate eastward among homosoekars as if a vast sum of money were disbursed in promotion of physical improvement among Willamette valley communities. The Oregon Electric advertising dopart mont will issue Mr. Lighton's story of his impressions of the Willamette val ley in the form of a general booklet for circulation among travclors and homo swkors. "The Land Where Life Is Largo" is the title of his brochure and it is one of the most entertaining bits put between covors. , THE ROUND-UP.

In attempting to shelter himself from the rain which fell yesterday afternoon in this vicinity, by getting under a tree, C, E.

When the storm came up, Mr. IVn l.ein, who was working iu the fields, ran to a tree, whore ho intended to re main until the shower passed over. A bolt of lightning struck the tree, and running down it, also hit the man. He wns knocked unconscious, and was not discovered until Mrs, Dcnhcill chanced to look out of a window, and snw him lying en the ground. The injured farmer was brought to his home nnd Ir. W. H.

The money be ing in two $5000 rolls, contributed by Willie -Ritchie and Ad Wolgast to prove that they are wifling to bet $23,000 on their ability to beat each other in the ring. McCarey has made up his mind that he will not try to stage a Wolgast-Rit-chie battle for the side bet if the men actually do fight. He doesn't believe a match of that kind would help the game. Furthermore, he doesn't want to act as stakeholder for the princi pals. Ritchie left his money with McCarey before he departod from Los Angeles recently. Tom Jones slipped his check into McCarey 's hands just before he rushed for a San Francisco train last night. McCarey stated today that he would hold, the money until something definite is decided, but tha', he pre ferred not to be an official stake holder, and that he would adhere to his determination not to stage the pro posed match.

This is not true. Our good old mother, Earth, Alias Dame Nature, call her what yon will, Has never rested since Time gave her birth. And never for a moment ia she still. , Asleep in winter! That's her busiest time, For then she gathers all the forest elves, The fays and fairies, sprites from ever clime, And even the spirits of the air themselves, And in her factory a million rooms Are filled with them, and with the constant hum Of whirling spindles and of rattling looms Weaving the garments for the babes to come The velvet petals of the glorious rose, The silken draperies of the poppy's flowers, The red robed columbine, that faintly blows Its gold-lined trumpets for the winking stars, Tha aster's damask, marigold's brocade, The thistle's laces, every dainty thing, Millions of garments, every hue and shade, For all the baby blossoms, born of Spring. The winter hills are barren, bleak andgray; The fields are sombre, colorless and dun; But down beneath, the toilers day by day Prepare for coming kisses of the sun That warm to life each dainty, new gowned bloom 'Till spring, with tender hands and smiling eyes, Lifts them full dressed from nature's fitting room To make the world another paradise.

PROPOSES TO CHARGE $5 AND SECURE BEST TALENT. Announcement of Singers, Accompanied With Boost for Comparatively Unknown Tetrazlni. By Beau Bialto. rjNiTBD rnass lbasbd wirb.1 New York, Aug. 2. Thut fur will fly aplenty in tho coming JJew York opera season is made apparent by the latest announcement of Impresario Os car llammerstein who heaved another harpoon into the quivering blubber of the Metropolitan opera house whale by declaring he would charge $5 for his orchestra seats. When Hammerstein returned from Europe last spring and announced that he would again put on opera in New York, the Metropolitan directors threw a fit. They declared that Hamnierstein, by producing opera at all would violate every article of his contract, made when he closed his Manhattan opera house several years ago. Tho prepared to enoin llammer stein. Ho told them, none too politely, td go as far as thoy likod. The dauntless Oscar soon tamo out with an announcement that his best seats would cost only $3 and tho Metro politan directors took solace from this, believing that opera at half the price of their productions would not serious ly cut into their patronage. However, rival opera at ." a head is something else again, and the Metropolitan heads are having fresh spasms. Their anxie ty is not allayed to any considerable extent by the following clause in the prospectus that Hammerstein hits just issued t 'Any interference or attempted in terruption on tho part of tho Metro politan opera company, I have guarded against." Hammerstein calls his company the American National Opera Company, nnd will produce his opera in the American National opera house now building at Lexington avenue and 51st street. His season will begin Novem-l ber 10 and will Inst 23 weeks, just' three weeks less than tho season sched-' tiled by the Metropolitan. Among his performers llaniiiierstein announced Mine. Flanco Barrientos. Mine. Ohenal, Mine. Victoria For, Oer- ma Hcllincjoni and Hlanca Bellineiom, Mme. Iloria, Henry Weldnn, M. Mnr vim, M. lieuand, 8enor Ve7ani, Orville 1 vTl Herrold and several others. The im- j pressario says they are onlv the 'nucleus" of his company. j Hamnierstein is not the least bit i I backward about boosting his song- In his prospectus he says they 1 1 M ally alternating ia the National grand opera and the Opera Comique in PariB. Without detracting from the merits of Mary Garden, who is one of my dis coveries, t'hennl surpasses.", So it is all the way down the line. Hammerstein says his company is the best opera aggregation ever got togeth er anywhere and he has thrown down the gage of battle to tho Metropolitan. If plans do not miscarry, America this winter will bo tho scene of the swan song of two notable Btage peo ple. Sir Johnston Forbes-Kobertsou, the English actor who with his wife, Gertrude Elliott, will come to America; in October for a season, says it will be ; his last stage work, nnd Gemma Uellin- j cioni, the Italian lyric soprano, will 1 close her operatic career this winter ' with the Hamerstein company. Hcllin cioni is no longer young. For many many years sho bos been the idol of Italian opera devotees, but she never before lias ventured to America and rarely has she sung in Europe outside her own country. Her reputation is well established at home, but as a fitting triumph with which to end her long career, to go out in a blaze of glory as it were, she decided to come to America for a season and will try to win the plaudits of New York b foro retiring for all time. She iys that this winter's work will be her last professional appearance. ers and is the only endowed theater in England. The theater as well as the hall and library which adjoin it, was built largely through the munificence of tho late Charles Edward Flower and a few of his associates and was opened in 1877.

All the plays of the great dramatist except "All's Well that Ends Well" and " Titus Andromicus" which could not very well be given without Borne changes, have been pre sented as they wore originally written, with not a line changed.
