It looms up I wonderfully against the western sky as your chronicler gazes on the setting sun these warm evenings. Thursday at 5 p. in. the mercury stood Ht i6 degrees in the shade here. In the sun 110 degrees at 5:30. In Fresno, Cul., 25 years ago I saw the theinometer register on two consecutive days at 2 p. m., 118 degrees and 120 in the shade! and I heard of no prostrations. It was u dry, still heat. Colonel Hofer in a recent Capital Journal gets after the drys and all but calls them fanatics. He also takes a fling at the Sunday law people they who would close up all work and about nil play on the first day of the week. These he would call Puritans which tal lies quite well with the word he applies to the drys. But the colouel should not class these citizens as one. That would be quite wrong. There are many hun dreds in Oregon who voted dry who would not vote to sustain a Sunday law. Colonel Hofer is clever, but should not be so careless with his branding iron. Sunday evening Mr. H. W. White, of fsalem, preached in the church here to a large congregation. Though not pos Messing a classical education, he has zeal and a fund of common sense which wome of the clergy ought to cultivate. His theme was sinless perfection. He mid he believed the Bible from begin ning to end though he did not profess to understand it all, a rather sensible proposition, for if we refused to believe a thing because we did not understand all about it, we would not believe some of the commonest things as for instance, that grass grows. Come again, Brother White. A brother of Win. Donaldson is visit ing with the family. Mr. Donaldson re sides near Marion, Kansas, and with his family is taking a look at Oregon. He will find no. nicer place in it than our Fruitland with its handsome wo men and gallant men. Some of the threshed grain is turning imt better than expected. Clarence Boliug is delivering wood at the asylum furr.i. Joe Fliegel, Jr., has ueeu helping Walter Ransom roof the new baru. One lay this week the boys took a ther mometer up with them and it regisfred 103 degrees in the sun of course. The baru is 40 by 23 and the mow space will hold 23 tons of loose nay. The roof is covered by 12,500 shingles and is quarter pitch. We all hope the railroad controversy will soon be settled. It seems the broth erhoods have not been uailly deal with by the railroads. It is said they have purse of 415,000,000 as sort of an emergency fjind as in case of a uni versal strike. If they could save this u t of their wages they were not poor ly paid. They demand an eight hour day and a 10 hour wage which seems to me preposterous. An eight hour day nay be all right in many ministries, but what could we do witn it out here in the country where we sometimes have to put in lrt just double. Those religious societies which re cently met in New York by resolution censured President Wilson as though he has not trouble enough on his hands. They seem to think ne slighted or in sulted "the church." Our good Presbyterian president J l.elieve, would try to be fair to all the religious sects, Catholic, Methodist and the others, treating - all alike.

Vrtf ii Nominee to Make a Determeind Fight For Commission Portland, Or., Sept. 1. 15. L. Van Dresar, who was made the Democratic nominee for election as public service commissioner' for the western district, will make the race for election, accord ing to his announcement today. Mr. Van Dresar will be compelled to go east on business for' several weeks, but upon his return will commence an ac tive campaign tor election in Novem ber. He will run in opposition to Fred J. Buchtcl, who defeated Thomas K. Campbell for the Republican somina- tion. ''Although I was not a candidate, the Democratic party saw fit to nom inate me for public service commission er in- the western Oregon district by writing my name on the ballot in the May primaries," Mr. Van Dresar said. "Such spontaneous exhibition of con fidence and good will can not be light ly set aside. It seamed at first im possible for me to accept on account of increasing business duties. I have taken more than three months to con sider the situation and finally have been ablo to perfect arrangements whereby T am at liberty to show my appreciation of this unsought honor and make the race for election in No vember. ."The office of public service com missioner :8 purely a business office, in no wise political. Personally 1 re gret to see any change in this body at any time, as I firmly believe the interests of the state are best served by men of experience gained through long continued service in handling public utility affairs. "However, the Republicans of this district have decreed there shall be a change; this being the case 1 feel that with more than 25 years' experi ence in transportation, manufacture and shipping, I am better fitted to enter upon the duties of this office than any man whose knowledge of public utilities is purelv political 'H believe further that it wold be better for the state if this office was entirely removed from politics in the same manner as the Interstate ( om merce commission, but as this is not possible under our present lnws, then it seems to me the next best thing is to make the board bi-partisan i list end of keeping it all Republican, as it has been for several vears, and as it will continue to be unless 1 am elected this fall. "Much hhs been fniil at various times regarding the inifillingness of business men to outer politics or ac cept public office. I propose now to test the full sincerity of this com plaint bv accepting this nomination as a business man for a business office." Prune Factors Are In Deadlock Over Price In spite of a rise in the price with in the week there is still a deadlock between western growers and this is enabling Oregon dealers to brenk into the markets that have never been open to thorn before, says J. O. Holt, man ager of the Kugene Fruit Growers' as sociation. Mr. Holt is inclined to the belief that the growers will eventually have to come down in their expectations. He points out that the estimated crop for California is 100,000,000 pounds, and of Oregon propnbly 23,000,000, making a total of 183,000,000 pounds. The entire domestic consumption is only about 100,(100,000 pounds. The export last year was .10,000,000, but will be cut in half this year, leaving a surplus over consumption of some 00 million pounds. The New Vork Journal of Commerce say 9: "The deadlock between the const growers and packers of prunes contin ues to be the controlling factor of the local market. "Looked lit from this distance, the growers seem to hold the whip hand. although the trade, disagrees with their idea ot value. Within a few days the packers have conceded a 5 cent bnsis, but, even at that, cannot move the growers to any general trading spirit and it looks as though the latter can safely 'sit steady in the boat ' and wait There will be no activity here till some thing breaks away on the const." (Quotations given by the California Fruit News show an offering of 5 cent base for larger sizes up to 40-."0 and 5 1-8 base for 80890 and 90 100, iu it self an indication that the prices be ing asked are forcing a demand for the smaller sizes.

SAFE, EELIABLE WAY People who are over-burdened with superfluous fat, know only too well the discomfort and ridicult that over-stout people have to bear. If you are carrying iround five or ten pounds of unnealthy fat you are unnecessarily weakening your vital or gans and are carrying a burden which destroys the beauty Oi your figure. There is no need of anyone suffering from superfluous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in a simple, sie and reliable way, without starvation diet or tiresome exercise, here is a test worth trying. Spend as much time as ?'ou can in the open air, breathe deep y and get from any good druggist a hnx of oil of korein caDsulea: take one after ei"ch meal and one before retiring at night. Weigh yourself once a week so ss to know just how fast you are losing weight and don't leave off the treat ment or even skip a single does until you are down to normal. Oil or korein is absolutely harmless, is pleasant to take, and nelps digestion. Even few days treatment has been reported to show a noticeable reduction in weight, footsteps become lighter, your work seem easier and a lighter and more buoyant feeling takes possession of your whole being. Every person, who suffers from snner fluous fat should give this treatment triaL Demands Pavment of $15, 531.97 As Its Portion of Grazing Receipts An action has been filed in the cir cuit court to compel Secretary of State Olcott and State Treasurer Kay to pay Baker county f 15,531.07 of the 25 per cent of forest reserve grazing receipts; pnid by the federal government to the! state. The complaint alleges that un-i der the federal law of 1900 but 10 Deri cent of the receipts from grazing per-j urn a, nmuer sales, etc., trom forest re serves were paid to the state, to be uirnea over to the counies in which the reserves are located. On Fcbru-i ary 25, 1907, the Oregon legislature: passeu an act lor the apportionment of! this 10 per cent of lorest reserve inon-i ey, providing that when reserves were! located in more than one county the1 share paid to each county should be in; proportion to the total derived from the reserve, as the area within the I county to the total area of the reserves.1 un .May 2o, 1908, the federal act was amended and provision made lor the' payment ot s.t per cent of the receipts from the federal reserves to the vari- oils states. I The Baker county complaint charg es that since 1908, to 1913, the geere-l tnry of state and the state treasurer I have paid the counies 10 per cent ac-l cording to the state law, apportioning tiie remainder of the 23 per cent to other counties. The county asks that the state be required to pay the dif ference between what it has received on a 10 per cent basis and what it is entitled to under the federal act, ap proximately $3000. PUBLIC CONFESSION OF FAILURE (Medford Muil Tribune) . Declaring tiint inmates of the Ore gon prison are on the verge of mutiny and that the system of handling and punishing inmntes is antiquated, Oov ernor Withycombc introduced a reso lution nt the meeting of the board of control Monday, asking that he be au thorized to appoint a non-salaried com mission of three citizens of the stnte to make a thorough survey of the prison and report its findings and recommen dations. The governor further stated that old time punishments are inflicted and the whole prison system not in harmony with modern civilization. This is an astounding admission of fnilure, inefficiency and incompetency on the part of the governor. A few short years ago Oregon led the nation in prison reforms, anil Governor West utlnined national fame because of pris on reforms. When Governor Withycombe tnnk of fice, the old style punishments were not in effect. The prisoners were not on the verge of mntinv. The system was as near in harmony with modem civ ilization as the restrictions ami hnndi caps imposed by a hostile legislature permitted. But Governor Withycombe changed all this. Governor Vt ithycuinhe pro nounced the humanitarian efforts of his predecessor "silly sentimentality." He nbolished the honor system, lie re stored the system of espionage and armed guards and cruel punishments. He stopped the road work and brick milking ami other healthful occupations that the ingenuity of West hud pro vided. He re-estahlished the regime of brutality ami idleness, developing the Intent ugliness of convicts. All the reforms that - West had lab oriously devised and iiistnlled during his four years of office were ruthless ly brushed aside and discarded, despite their merit, by Governor Withycombe. The harvest reaped is shown by in creased prison expenses, multiplied es capes, incendiary fires and threatened mutiny. The governor does not need the re port of any non partisan board to tell him what to do. He has merely to carry to perfection the constructive re form policies inaugurated by his pre decessor, which he nbolished, as a par tisan political play. There is no better authority on prisons than Oswald West, none better acquainted with the pris on systems of other states and the needs of the Oregon prison, no one more successful in hauilliiig the flotsam and .jetsam of humanity that society lodges behind prison walls. i When West was governor his every reform was belittled and decried by the Portland Oregoninu and the i-lique 01 partisan pupi'in linn t--iiu nn Whenever an honor man failed to keep faith the event was blamed on West.; Whenever a convict escaped, a great to-do was made and West's reforms de- dared a failure. When land and funds j ran short, West had tiie convicts make brick, which he sold to buy more land for the prii-on farm and brickyard , and his reward was a personal suit for1 damage for exceeding his authority. ! Governor Withycombe has not been handicapped as West was. He has had the loyal support of the legislature, the! state hoard of control and the majority! of the state press. Prison records of the world were open to him for study.; He could have formulated a modern policy and enforced it without opposi tion. But he made prison control po-j litical spoils ami blindly restored the1 old senseless regime of brutality. i Why should the convicts be kept in idleness, with abundant fields for In-J bor on every side I West had a law, passed authorizing the use of convicts, on highways. Why are they not thus employed, as they are in California and other states which followed Oregon's, leadl There nre countless nprtuni- ties to give the prisoners useful labor: which are all passed by.
