An Open River.

Some time ago the Benton
Comfy Citizens League and sis
ter leagues in Independence, Sa-
lem and Albany took up the mat
ter of Improvements on the Up
per Willamette river. In the en-
deavor to accomplish this the as
sistance of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce was enlisted. The
O.C. T. Company gave valuable
assistance in the work.
Yesterday morning word reach
ed this city to the effect that the
Uuited States dredger, the Math-
Iona, has been ordered by Ma
jor Langftt to proceed to Coava1
lis this week and prepare for
active operations. Formerly il
was the intention to begin below
and work up stream, but upon
representations made and the able
assistance given the matter at the
recent convention of the Ore.
gon Development League in Port
land it was concluded to begin a
this city and work down.
This is splendid and our peo
pie have occasion to feel thank
full, as they are now practically
assured an open river the yea
around.

There is scarcely ever time

ter Of the United States there is
not a labor strike on tapis. This
is the results Of unions more
than from any other cause. The

Importance to the various mem

supposed to furnish brains for.
A great strike is now on in
Chicago and as usual, the strikers
resort to brute force in enforcing
their demands. Force has never
proved anything to be right. An
unjust principle, policy, condition,

The wage scale is made out in ac-
cordance with the number Of men
required and available, capable
Of performing a certain duty.
The second factor in regulating
the scale of wages is the demand
for the product Of this labor.
The hardest feature connected
with striking unions is the fact
that those who quit their job act
as'though they still owned it, or
had a right to it. After they
have vacated, they play ssdoggie
in the manger. It was not a

Gar ner claims that he only witnessed the crime. Hunter says that Garner is the guilty one and that he Hunter, was merely spectator.
 Hunter has acknowledged that he is the man for whom the officers have been looking. The officers are inclined to be- lieve that both men took a prominent part in the assault. and murder. They also think that Bunk Richardson, Will Johnson and Lucy Mayo participated ac- lively in the commission of the crime. The scene yesterday when the negroes met had its humorous side. each accusing the others of the crime.

Life a Burden

There are times when life seems a burden-when you are tired, worn-out, have dull pains in the head and a continual feeling of uneasiness. You have no appetite, and your di- gestion is poor; your sleep broken, and you get no rest.
 Little annoyances seem great mountains of trouble, and you are blue, melancholy and given over to gloomy forebodings.
 This means low vitality-ex- hausted brain nerves.
 For this condition Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine is a spe- cific; it is food for the nerves. It builds up the nervous sys- tenn, and restores lost energy. Try it to-day and see if your sleep is not sound and refresh- ing, and the morrow brighter and more hopeful.
 'T am glad to announce that have recovered my health, as far as my advanced age will permit. as I am 82 years old. My case was very bad; my nerves were all shattered.

NEW DEPOT FOR BESSEMER

Ressemer, July 25.-(Special.)-The two indoor baseball games played tonight at the Beavers gymnasium hall between sin gle and married members Of the BeaVers Dam No. was very interesting ana re- suited in a victory for the single men III both games.
 The score was Il to in the first game and to in the second, both in favor of the single men.
 Both games were lively from start to finish and afforded rare entertainment to a large crowd of spectators.
 The batteries were as follows; First game. single men. Borders and Houston; married men. Waller and Edmonson Sec ond game single men, Martin and Hous- ton: married men, Lanier and Vines.
 Indoor baseball is comparatively new amusement for Bessemer, and the large crowd that attended the games tonight enjoyed them very much. A small admis- sion fee was charged for men and the pro- ceeds will go to the fund for finishing the gymnasium hall. Ladies were admitted free.
 Another game has been announced for
  tween the single and married men, though the lineup, which will be announced later, will be different
 Committee VIII Meet.
 The executive committee of the com- pany proposing to build an electric rail- way in Bessemer to touch several subur- ban points will meet at the court house tomorrow night to make final report and canvass subscriptions
 The members of the committee have been at work for several days soliciting subscriptions for the building of the line, and while they will give out no infor- nation in advance of the meeting, it Is understood that they have made good progress in the work.
 It is estimated that $25.00 is necessary for puttinig the proposed road in opera tion and it Is thought that no difficulty will be experienced in raising this amount. The proposed line would be of vast ben eft to Bessemer and the community, and the people hope to see the enterprise sue ceed.

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

According to the statements of a num- Der of Birmingham's most prominent real estate agents no decrease in the activity of the local real estate market has been noted nor is any anticipated by the most competent judges.
 The records for this summer have far surpassed those of any hot weather months in the history of Birmingham, if the real estate records are to be taken as authority, and the sales will equal if not surpasse those of the winter and spring months. It seems to be uni versal opinion of those in a position to know, that the present activity is not a boom, but that the market is notably firm strong demand continued to exist for both city and suburban property, and all property Is bringing good prices.
 The following real estate transfers have been recorded in the probate court:
