After Oregon Lumber.

Edw. F. Niehaus, of the firm
of Niehous & Co., of San Fran
cisco, left Saturday after a visit
to this city to secure three car
loads of lumber, oak. maple and
cottonwood, from the Corvallis
Sawmill Co. This cottonwood
or balm, which is considered
superior by experienced persons
for making boxes, will be con-
verted into cigar boxes by this
San Francisco firm. Several
thousand feet of this lumber was
recently shipped to the Salem
box factory and the Albany nur-
sery is getting 10, 900 feet from
the Corvallis Sawmill Co., and
hauling it to Albany by team.
This is Mr.. Niehaus' first Wis
it to Oregon, although he is
constant traveller, and makes
regular trips to Mexico and
Guatemala. There is strike
on in San Francisco among
planning mill employees for an
eight-hour day, and Mr.. Me
haus thought this an opportune
time to visit Oregon and secure
a cargo of planed lumber. He
had been of the opinion that
Oregon was continually deluged
with raini and was . most disa.
greeable country to travel in.
Acting on this presumption, he
brought an extra suit of clothes
SO that when those on became
wet he could don dry suit. He
soon learned his mistake and left
his extra suit in Portland. Cor
egon is a delightful country" he
says, 'and her climate is do
lightful.

High Binders Abroad.

! The party consisting of H. w.
Hall, Charley Barhart, Jas. Flett
and Angus Hodes and their sons,
have been heard from, as will be
seen from communication
printed below. They left Corval-
lis last week and the first night
camped on what they took to be
a deserted ranch, and, not know
ing that the owner was near at
hand, turned their horses loose
on the meadow. Having pitched
their tents, they sat dewn to a
sumptuous repast of bacon, beans
and bread, during which they
took turns at relating person
al experiences in which each
figured as the hero OF sonse
thrilling adventure. Their con-
versation was rudely broken into
by the returned ranchman, who
on seeing their horses on his
meadow, gave vent to his rage
and ordered them to "git" and
be quick about it. This is what
took place and what was said by
the irate mountaineer, according
to the GAZETTE correspondent,
''Hole in the Water"
Addressing a bearded gentle
man, "You darned 'cuss,' you
would see me starve before you
would give me loaf of bead.
And you," addressing another,
"wou1d not let me have a pound
of salt. And you, you fat ras-
cal, would lock up if I took a
small drink of red rye. And you
long, 1anky, gangling contor-
tionist, I don't know you, but I
you to be the leader of
the gang. Don't you open your
face or I'll tie your legs in a
knot around yonder sapling.
Those kids can stay with me if
they want to and I'll give them
something to eat and a place to
sleep, but you other fellows,
git"
From what is learned a truce
was arranged and war averted.

Received An Answer.

A letter signed by Mayor Craw-
ford, members af the council and
other citizens, was sent August
9th to the presidents of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pa
ci6c railroads. The letter en-
dorsed the movement started by
the Astoria chamber of COM
merce, asking for better freight
rates for Oregon. 1t requested
that the same liberal treatment
accorded to the state of Wash.
ington be extended to Oregon; j;
that eastern freight rates be
granted from points of shipment,
and not from Portland as ter
,ninal, as now. Shippers in Ore
gon pay local rates from all
points to Portland, and this dis
elimination handicaps them in
the commercial contest with
Washington.
Monday, Mayor Crawford re-
ceived a reply from President c.
H. Hartman, of the U. P. stat
ing that the matter had been re-
ferred to the local representa-
tives of the company who were
better acquainted with condi-
tions here than the authorities
at New York.

OUR LOT IS BLESSED.
What Benton County Gentleman Noted
in Other States.

What Benton County Gentleman Notes
in Other States.
A. G. Miller, of Kings valley
who went East about six weeks
ago for a visit with relatives, ar
rived home Friday. He was at
his old home in Schuyler county,
New York, the scene of his
youth. He had been absent for
~ years, during which period he
must have changed some as his
own sister did not recognize him.
In speaking of the country Of
his birth, Mr.. Miller stated that
although Oregon has poor crops,
those Of New York are worse.
In going East he travelled over
the Oregon Short Line and the
Union Pacific, and came home
over the Northern Pacific, and
he says that of all the country
he passed through he saw moth
ing to equal this state. There
is a portion of Idaho and Mon
tana that made favorable inn
preston on the gentleman.
Mr.. Miller says that in Schuy-
Ter county, when he was boy
good crops of wheat were pro-
duced, but in time wheat i'm
poverished the soil to such an
extent that planting this crop
was abandoned and clover for
stock raising was taken up.
This in time tailed and at the
present time the condition of the
soil is such that in order to in
sure even a medium crop it is
necessary to fertilize the soil at
an expenditure of from $40 to
$12 an acre. This does not pay,
in fact, as he saw it, nothing in
the line of agriculture seemed to
offer any inducements.
Another feature of the country
that made the gentleman from
Kings Valley long for home was
heat. He said it was at times
almost unbearab1e and he often
wished he was back in old Ben
ton where he could get sniff of
the glorious sea breeze with
which this country is blessed.
In summing up the situation
it is easily seen that too much
cannot be said in favor of Ore
gon. Even though crops are
poor this year and affairs are not
so favorable generally as in the
years gone by, crops in other
states are yet poorer and the
weather conditions are far worse.
Too much praise cannot be given
this state and disgruntled Ore
gonians should bear in mind the
condition of affairs and put their
shoulders to the wheel for the
of their own state.
The natural resources are here
and are only waiting for men of
energy and enterprise to make
the country second to none.
This is as Mr.. Miller sees it.

Additional Local

Mr.. Barker is lying quite i'll with
an attack of appendicitis at his
home in Jobs Addition. After con.
sultation over the matter, Drs.
Cathey and Pernot decided that an
operation was not necessary from
the present condition of the patient.
Tyra Smith has just completed
harvesting. The work was done
in 10a days, the shortest run in
Mr.. Smiths experience as farmer.
From 1,100 acres he secured but
7,786 bushels of wheat and 1922
bushels of oats; an average OF 1O.S
bushels to the acre.

Law or no Law.

It is believed that the law
against the slaughter of birds is
pretty generally observed in this
county, but in other counties
there is some disregard of the
law reported. The fault cannot
be laid at the door Of the real
sportsman, for he has too true an
appreciation of thesituation not
to desire that the birds be pro-
tected during the close season.
From the account given in Lane
county it will appear tina. Came
Warden Quimby was a little
mistaken in some of his caleula-
tious:
Notwithstanding the state
ment of the game warden to
the effect that few upland birds
are being killed unlawfully, an
almost incessant rattle of shot
guns can be heard in various
parts of this county. If the game
warden were to see the amount
of ammunition that is being sold,
he might begin to think some
birds were being killed. In
some localities the law is re-
spected, and the birds are not
molested, while in other locali-
ties it is not at all unusual to
hear the guns of. from two to 20
hunters. The earliest spring
brood of peasants are now large
enough to make good eating,
but the second and third broods
are still too small. Sportsmen
claim that some attempt should
be make. to enforce the law, for
the benefit of all concerned.
