Good Times Coming.

If the people Of Oregon could be
convinced that the following was a
sure prediction, there would be glad
neis in many heart in very short
space of time: "You may put it down
as reasonably certain that Oregon is
going TO have regular old-fashioned
hoom this year, The only thing that
could keep it from maturing would be
a failure Of crops, and that is now an
impossibility, the prospects all over the
state were never better for the largest
crop ever known. The depression all
over the east, the many thousand
lahorers out Of employment, and the
.high-priced farms OF the east, all conf
bine against that country to the advan-
tage Of the west Thousands of men
who have had the Oregon fever more
or less fer years, have heretofore relin-
quished or abandoned the idea Of
coming here for the reason that they
would have to give up lucrative posi-
lions and forsake lifelong friends.
Now the situation is different, the
positions have flown, and their eyes
are once more turned toward the great
west The tide is turning this way,
and it is not mere idle prediction but
the facts will bear out the statement
that the people are coming, and we are
going to have lively year, so Oregon
ians may as well prepare for a flood Of
land and homeseekers. .n-Ex.

Escaped from the Reform School,
Three boys Of the reform school,
Fred McMurray, George Deford and
Thomas Higgins, the first two from
Mountaindale, near Hillsboro, and the
latter from Portland, escaped from the
reform school Tuesday evening, They
were working in field on the school
farm, and suddenly made break for
the adjoining timber. The officers
started in pur.uit, but could get no
trace Of them until Wednesday, when
it was learned they had robbed the
residence Of a bachelor living near
Macleay, taking a suit of clothes, 5000
in notes and other articles. Later
they went toward Stayton and We'd
nesday night slept in the woods near
that place. Thursday morning Hig-
gins appeared at house near the rail
road bridge across the Santiam, and
one of the persons sent out to capture
them happened to be there at the same
time and took him in charge and
returned him to the reformatory. The
other two boys had not been seen, but
it is thought they will be caught soon.
McMurry is considered very bad boy
aud can be easily identified, as he has
sears upon his left cheek.

TatatrOura island, and from there it
was sent by the schooner Levani to
Tahiti, where the intelligence was
freely canvassed but doubted by many
who thought that after passing through
so many mouths it had become exag-
gerated.
The same source of information had
it that the schooner Tolna, the Counts
trading vessel, had been chartered by
an Australian company of traders some
weeks before the death of Festetics,
who, in his eccentric way, made the
new mausgers of the vessel agree to
land him and the Countess at Penryn
island, where Count Festetics had be
come fast friend of the few inhabi-
tants of the island, and also to deliver
the vessel to him there at the expira-
ton of the contract.
The simple life with the limited so
ciety seemed to suit the Count, and it
is said that he was rapidly adapting
himself to the customs of the natives
as well as to their mode of dress. The
strange titled couple were living hap
PLY on the island until the Count was
taken i'll. He was far removed from
civilization and medical attendance
could not be secured for him. His
sickness was short, and in few hours
after he was taken ill he expired.
The Tolna sailed from San Fran
cisco on October 9th of last year, and
after short stay at Honolulu started
to visit the Out-Of-the-w places of
the Pacific Ocean on trading cruise.
She was built at Benicia for Count
Festetics, and when she was about
completed the Count took a course of
instruction at a naval school
The day the Oceanic sailed for HO-
nOlulu the Examiner published the
following interview with Lloyd Tevis
regarding the rumOr of the Counts
death:
This Tumor first reached me at this
moment" he said. 81 have the latest
advices that have come direct from
them, and the last letter, which was
from the Countess Festetles, reached
here two weeks ago. 1t was written
in Tahiti, and sent from there, but /
do not recall the precise date when
she wrote. / think it takes about two
weeks for a sailing vessel to come up
from Tahiti, and if l am right then
month ago the Count and Countess
were safe and well in Tahiti. / never
heard of the islands to which they are
said to have gone, and the Countess
wrote nothing about intending to
lease the Tolna. / do not say that
this report about the Counts death
cannot be true, but for the present l
discredit it."

4 Report of His Demise Brought
From Tahiti.
THE RUMOR GENERALLY BELIEVED.
on One OF the Penryn Islands Where
He Had Lived With the Countess
Recently An Eccentric Character

Count Festetics is dead. At least
that is the news brought from the
South Pacific islands by the barken-
tine Tropic Bird, which arrived IN San
Francisco from Tahiti one week ago.
The news came in a very roundabout
way, yet some of the passengers of the
vessel who had become acquainted
with the Austrian uobleman were in
clined to believe that it was true.
Rumor has it that his death occurred
in one of the small islands of the Pen
ryn group, where he and the Countess
have been living in perfect harmony
with the fifty or sixty natives who
compose the population of the small
speck of land in the South Pacific
ocean.
The news Of the death was taken
from that island by small schooner
which is said to have called there soon
after the Count had been buried, to

building until it was crowded to its
full capacity. Within music and
mirth prevailed, and Notwithstanding
the pressure of the gathering, all
seemed eager in their efforts to aid
the worthy undertaking. Numbers of
beautiful young ladies, dressed in ap-
propriate costumes, fitted gaily hither
and thither, each vieing with the
other in disposing Of fruits, flowers
and fancy goods, and all for the sake
Of sweet charity. The stately, suave
matrons truly seemed in their ele-
ment, working assiduously toward the
same end. The ringing laughter of
healthful children added increased
zest to the occasion, which proved a
success far beyond the expectation of
the most sanguine.
Booths, artistically decorated, were
erected around the sides and in the
middle of the building, at which a
variety of articles were offered and
found ready sale. There seemed to be
no diminution Of interest manifested,
and the fair occupants of the booths
were kept actively engaged. No in
dividusl reference will be attempted,
but, suffice it to say, all discharged
the onerous duties involved with a
pleasing grace. The Hawaiian Ma
tional Band dicoursed sweet music
during the afternoon, without which
the affair would have lacked a pleas
ing innovation.
In the evening an increased amount
of patronage was extended, though at
times it semed impossible for more
people to enter the building.
Long before the hour Of the begin
ming of the concert arrived, Professor
Berger's string musicians were kept
busy, preventing the least break in
the list Of attractions.
Promptly at o'clock the concert

SPRECKELS ON SUGAR.

the Head of the Firm.

New YORK, Sept. 29.-Claus
Spreckels was a passenger from
Europe on the Paris yesterday.
Mr.. Spreckels will remain in town
about week. The first thing be
learned when he landed was that
sugar has been dropping. about
time for me to buy" he said with
a laugh. Now in regard to the
new Tariff bill l don't care what
they do. Of course, l am looking
at it from a sugar point of view
and am considering it as it affects
sugar. l draw the line at free
trade; that would not do.
"What is the future of the sugar
trust ? Well, l think the sugar
men are getting on all right, but
not having anything to do in a
business way since June, 1 have
not followed up matters actively. l
allow my sons 10 do the active part
of my business. When 8 man gets

THAT does not mean that you
are going to retire ?"
''Not by any means. While not
so deeply engaged in the active
part of the work as formerly, l
shall do good bit for many
year."

songs, receiving well deserved ap-
plause.
AT the expiration of the concert
Mr.. W. r. Daley was requested to
auction off the articles remaining I'M
sold. All were disposed of and brought
good prices.
Miss May Nannary, of the Dali
