An Old Relic.

Jamestown was the first Eng
lish settlement ia the United
States. It was founded in 1907,
by los colcnist sent out by a
Londen company under eo1E-
maad OF Christofer Newpott.
Captain John Smith was a prom
inent member of the expedition.
The town was founded On the
James river, Sc miles above its
mouth. The encreaehments of
the river have converted the
prementory on which the old
town stood into an island and a
portion of the settlement has
been entirely swept away. A
part of the old church tower,
with some tcmbstones standing
around it, is now the only relic

Dusty Institute.

The 15tn local teachers institute for
Ben On county vas held at Dusty last Fri
day evening and the following Saturday
The attendance and interest reached pro-
portions beyond expression. The pro-
gram for the evening and day sessions
received the closest attention from those
in attendance Those present came from
every district in this part of our county. A
delegation Of sixteen teachers went from
Corvallis. Every teacher, except one,
that is now employed in Southern Ben
ton was there.
At the evening session the commodious
grange hall was filed to overfowing,
standing room being at a premium. The
Dusty quartette, consisting of Mrs. NJ.
M. Waltz. Mrs. J. Fl. Edwards, and
Messrs. R. J. Nichols and e. II. Bel
KNAPP, assisted by Mr.. Wilbur Starr, rem
dered excellent music. The selection,
''The Flag Without Stain," contained
sentiment that echoed from the heart
OF every loyal American.
The rotations OF Leila Buckingham,
Floy Hawley, Bertha and Belle Edwards
were well rendered and enthusiastically
received. The duo by Mr.. NJ. M. Waltz
and bIrs. J. II. Edwards did much to add
interest aud entertainment to the pro-
gram. The duo, banjo and guitar, by
Messrs. Balm, found responsive chord
in every heart. Gretta aud Floyd Bris-
tow entertained the instituts with in
strumental music. The address of Supt.
Denman on "Wm. Mckinley, Our Mar
| tyred President" gave summary of the
life work and those traits of character
which made him first in the hearts q
all his countrymen." The basket dinner
was one of the treats of the day. The
thoughtful, unsurpassed, and amiable
housewives of this section had prepared
a dinner, the sight of which would make
the mouth of a prince, or coant, water
the quantity of which would supply the
wants of an Oregon legislature.
The program for Saturday consisted o
singing by the institute, recitations by
Winona Price, Edith Price, Inez Will
liams and Golda Howard, solo by Miss
Chamberlain, duo by Mrs M. NJ. Waltz

 Blowing-The Entire Fleet Answer

 Was After Dark When Some. of
 Them Got in Last Night
 New York, July 26.-Although with out the company of the new cup de- fender, Constitution, the New York Yacht club fleet kept right on to Vine yard Haven this morning, leaving the harbor at o'clock
 At that time the sky was dark and lowering, with a good breeze blowing from the north. A few rain drops were falling and the indications for good weather for the 37 mile run to Vineyard Haven did not seem particu- larly propitious. Again most of the yachtsmen were rather tired after their long and tedious "trip from New London, for some of the boats did not get in until long after dark Still all were on deck this morning bright and early and when Commodore Led yard hoisted signals for getting under way nearly the entire fleet answered.
 Getting out of the harbor was quick work and by half past nine most of the racing fleet had left.
 Outside the wind was from q little east of north and it looked like q sharp reach to Vineyard Sound light ship with a beat up the sound to West Chop, the finish.

Largely Attended at Manila To-day
 Best Governed City in the World.
 Manila, July 26.-The first meeting of the legislative chamber held to-day was largely attended.
 Commissioner Wright, speaking of the charter of Manila, said the same reasons that controlled in making Washington the federal city obtained i'll Manila; and Washington, he declared was the best governed city in the world
 Representative of the Spanish chamber of commerce vehementIy op- posed the charter, asserting that it was inconsistent with the principles of the freest government on earth to deny the right of suffrage to the residents of the metropolis while granting it to those of other localities. They also declared that the proposed system of govern ment for Manila was far less liberal than that offered by the Spanish au- thorities, who proposed to make the representatives of the districts in Man. fla elective by the people.

NEARLY A MILLION LOSS.
Fire Destroys Sawmills and Residences
 in Davenport, Ia.


 Davenport, Ia. July 26. = Fire laid waste an area of saw mill andresidence property in Davenport last evening equal to twenty ordinary city blocks. The flames started in a big pile of kindling wood of the Rock Island Fuel company on the levee. A brisk breeze was blowing and carried the flames di- rectly across the immense lumber yards of Weyerhauser Benkmann, which was soon a seething mass of flames. The flames pushed their way into the ad- joining residence district, closely set tied with middle class homes, from which the occupants escaped only with their lives and the clothing on their backs. Over fifty homes were thus burned, resulting in hundred families being rendered homeless.
 The fire was fought heroically by the fire departments of Davenport, Rock Island and Moline, III, the latter cities responding to the appeal for aid. By 10 o'clock the confiagration was under control
 The mill of the Weyerhauser Benk- mann company and yard were totally destroyed. Loss, $40O,00O Residence and other losses, $300,OO0 mGSe. The U. N. Roberts Sash and Door factory, Red Jacket Pump company, Standard Oil company, Riverside Mill, Davenport Woolen mills had narrow escapes, as the flames were checked just before reaching them. It is believed there were no fatalities
