Dairy Course at o. A. G.

The authorities at the O. A. G..
announce the establishment of a
course in dairying at that institu-
ton and state that this depart
will be conducted on the first
floor of the new Agricultural
Hall, which makes it possible for
the first time in the history OF
the college to give a special
course IN butter and cheese max
ing and subjects closely related
thereto. This course will be of
eight weeks duration, beginning
January 7, and closing February
2S, 1903.
The desire is to farniliarize STU
dents with most modern and up
to-date forms of dairy apparatus,
also to teach the underlying prin-
ciples of the production, care
and manufacture of milk into
butter and cheese. The instruct
ors will aim to teach chow and
why" and the instruction is in
tended to supply the needs of the
farm, dairy, creamery and cheese
factory.
The dairy course is open to all |
persons of good moral character,
both male and female, who are
at least eighteen years of age and
who have a common school edu-
cation. No entrance examina-
ton will be required, but it is
expected that those seeking ad-
mission will be able to intelli-
gently understand lectures, take
some notes, and perform small
amount OF textbook work.
The. only cost is a deposit of
81. so to cover breakage in the
laboratory. In case of no break
lee this fee will be returned.

Damage by Recent Forest Fires

The Bureau of Forestry has
received a report from one of its
agents which shows that the dam
age caused by forest fires in
northwestern Oregon and south
western Washington during Sep
teniber was much greater than
has been generally supposed. At
ter a careful trip through the re-
gions devastated by the fires, Mr..
William 7. Cox, who was de-
tailed by the Bureau for this
work, in conservative estimate
places the damage in Oregon and
Washington at s12,767, 100. OF
this, $500, 900 is in Oregon,
and $S.857,1oo in Washington.
This includes all losses caused by
the fires to farm property, saw
mills, manufactured lumber,
standing timber, etc. This esti-
mate is based on personal obser-
ton in the burned districts, both

in Oregon and Washington, CON
ference with 1umbermen, farm
ers, and settlers, and other trust
worthy sources of information.
Owing to its nearness to market,
however, much of the damaged
timber in the burned regions OF
Oregon will be saved, and the
net loss will be smaller than tiae
foregoing figures. In Washing
ton portion will also be sat ed,
though a smaller percentage
owing to its being less accessible
to means of transportation.
Much of the area burned over
was covered with virgin forest,
mainly of Douglas Spruce, Cedar,
and Hemlock. Besides the great
loss of property, IS persons were
killed and many more injured.
Much of the large and small
game in these regions was de-
stroyed.
In his report the agent of the
Bureau of Forestry included not
only the loss of life and property,
but also the causes of the fires,
the methods used in fighting
them, the damage to the soil,
and the outlook for reproduction
of.the forests. The burned dis
tricts were also mapped.

Oregon Prnne Crop.

The prune crop of Oregon for the year
1902 according to men whose business
requires them to know the size OF thu
crop. will be in the neighborhood OF
13, 600, 900 pounds. 1t is estimated tina I
the entire crop sold for an average of 33A
cents per pound, to the grower or a total
of $4S7 800. In addition to this sum
paid the growers, about Z. 1000, 900 pounds
of the prunes were packed in boxes, by
which means the price was advanced IA
q 1ac per pound, this process bringing
to the laborers in the packing houses
some $o5 900 more, making the total pro-
ceeds of the prune crop about $5l2, 800,
One recognized authority on the size OF
the prune crop divides the state into four
prune growing districts. He has made
estimates of this years crop by districts,
as com pared with normal crop in the
same regions. His estimates give the
prune crop in the district from Corvallis
to Portland, west side-ner nal. 1S,000,-
900 pounds; 1902 crop 13.0JO.uO0 pounds
The advantage of packing the fruit in
boxes is readily apparent. Buyers
readily pay the advance of 4c per pound
for prunes packed in 50-pound boxes.
and Lac for prunes in 25-pound boxes.
Besides making the prunes sell more
easily to the consumer, thus creating a
preference for Oregon fruit, the cost of
packing is secu ed for the working peo-
pie of this state. If the entire crop were
packed, the proceeds would be $50, 1000
greater, this sum being paid to men en-
gagged in the manufacture OF boxes and
the packing of the fruit. Fruit men
have everything to gain and nothing to
lose by packing fruit before it is placed
upon the market.
The present season has been an ex-
ceptionally good one for Oregon prune
growers, even though the yield was
small. The light yield made the prunes
run to large sizes, for which there was a
premium this year. California, with its
good crop, could not supply the demand
for large sizes, and dealers who wanted
good fruit came to Oregon to get it. 1t
will be remembered that dealers came to
the Pacific Coast from France to buy
sPetite" or French prunes. After
looking over the goods on the market in
both Oregon and California, they decid-
ed to buy in this state.
The market quotations show that the
Oregon prune has an established place
in the markets of the world. The New
York trade papers give the Oregon prune
a quotation by itself.

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Good Roads League Soon to be Organized
in Each County In the
State.


The executive committee of
the State Good Roads Associa-
ton, of which County Judge
Scott, of Marion county, is pres
ident, and the county judges of
the several counties are members,
held a very enthusiastic meeting
at Portland, November 10Th.
The objects of this meeting
were to discuss road work in gen.
eral, the existing conditions in
their respective counties, in order
to compare notes and devise some
means of raising money to carry
on the state work. Previous to
this meeting the president and
secretary conferred and decided
to ask each county to contribute
IS to the association fund. Five
county courts have already ap-
propriated this amount and many
others have signifed their inten-
tion of so doing when their court
meets.
The secretary was instructed
to draft a circular letter and send
a copy to each Of the vice presi-
dents of the association, urging
the necessity of organizing his
county into good road leagues as
quickly as possible.
A bill asking for legislation in
the interest of good roads, is be-
ing drafted and it will be pre-
sented to the legislature at its
next meeting.
When in Oregon recently,
Congressman Tongue called upon
Judge Scott and expressed him.
self of the belief that good roads
was one of the leading questions
concerning the states future well
fare and growth, and he assured
Judge Scott that he would do all
in his power to encourage the
movement and exercise his in
f1uence in congress towards Sc
curing an object lesson train for
Oregon next year.
A list of good roads literature,
compiled and issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture, has
been secured by Congressman
Tongue, and he will have copies
of this literature sent to each
vice-president in the state.

EN MEMOREAM.

Buffalo where the stricken president lay. II was on that day that the Amer ican people first knew how much they loved him. The tumult of anger at the deed of the assassin had died away and there was no sentiment to dilute the grief which the people felt. They, too had been cast down from a high pin nacle of hope and the fall was more painful than the stunning blow of September 6. It was not alone America that was mourning without hope. The manly Christian qualities of MT. Nc Kinley had won for him the admiration of the world. The London Pail Mall Gazette conveyed the sentiment of Christendom when it said: We can only express the universal feeling of prayerfulness that President Mckinley may recover even yet. It is not too much to say that the whole Anglo Saxon race is kneeling at his bedside clinging to hope so long as hope exists"
 But prayer could avail nothing. It was not Gods way" as the dying pres ident murmered in a moment of semi consciousness that he should live. After half past six on the evening of Friday he came out Of one period Of inconsistencies only to relapse int

another. Oxygen had been administer ed steadily but it became less and less effective. At eight o'clock the presf- dent who had partially revived told his physician that he realized that he was going to die and asked to see his wife, but unconsciousness returned before he could soe9x to her. She was summoned at ten o'clock. He was awaiting her and with his last strength he strove to clasp her hand. She bent over him and his lips moveu feebly. Good Bye all Good Bye" he said. Tt is Gods way His will, not ours, he done" Then as he sank into unconsciOusness for the last time he murmered Nearer my God to Thee"
 At 2:l5 o'clock on the morning of Sep tember If, 1901 the president died. He had been unconscious for several hours and his death was free from pain.
 Thus came to his end one of the best and greatest chief magistrates of this country and <one of the foremost statesmen of of his time. His death called forth tributes never before be- slowed upon a ruler. In England the daily papers were printed in mourning as if for the loss of their own sover- eign and the stock and commercial eX- changes were closed. King Edward.

commanded the court to go into mourn ing for one week. No such extended tribute of sympathy and respect ever marked the death of any person but Il British sovereign.
 The sorrow of the people of this country need not be recalled. the mourning preceding the day of the funeral and that day. Never before iii the history of the world has there been such q funeral. For five minutes the pulse of the people stopped. Business ceased; trains stopped where they were; not a telegraph message was sent over the wires and processions halted and stood still so that the men coull almost hear their hearts beat At the close of the five minutes bands every where in the country began to play softly, Nearer my God to Thee" and voices joined them in singing the hymn All the power of the Government could not have compelled such an eloquent tribute.
 This day, September 14 will be a memorable one in American history, so long long as the memory of William Mckinley endures. The memory of him shall endure so long as the coun- try to which he has contributed so much shall stand among the nations of the earth.

One year ago this morning two hours and fifteen minutes after midnight, William Mckinley the twenty fifth president of the United States died, thus closing the most anxious week the people of this country had ever known. On the afternoon of Friday of the week before the president had been shot by an assassin in the Temple of Music at the Pan American exposition. None of the circumstances of the tragedy have been forgotten by the American people. That week of alternating hope and fear will always be remembered. Hope. was in the ascendant until with in a little less than one day of the end of the week. The physicians at mid night of Friday had given out bulle- tin of the presidents condition in which it was publicly announced that he was out of danger. Two hours later the end was begun. The president had a sinking spell and at three o'clock his condition was pronounced critical. So rapid was death approaching that twenty minutes later a bulletin was is sued that "the condition of the presi- dent gives rise to the gravest appre hensions"
 All that day there was not an encour- aging word from the Milburn house in

Oregon City, Ore, September 13- Complete reports received from Spring water this afternoon say that the stores of w. J. Llewellyn, and J. F. I.ovelace, the postoftice, the Grange and Macca- bee halls and the school house were saved. Nearly every farmer in the ter ritory covered by the postoffices of Dodge and Springwater have been been burned out. The loss is appalling and cannot be estimated. The people are destitute and homeless, without money, food, clothing and have calleI for aid.

Fires in that sec tion are now checked and there is no danger unless the wind rises again. The damage was great in the Eagle Creek section. Twenty-four places were entirely destroyed. Fires in th. district near Shubel, Clark and Beaver creek and the Moehenke settlements are now under control.
