Cable Bills Immense.
An idea Of the volume of cables which

that Sunday one cable company handled
$4,000 worth of business, including dis
patches from both the Russian and
Japanese peacemakers, from its head

Eagle Point, Jackson County June
1O.-This valley is completely encir-
cled by mountains, and our rains and
storms are quite local in character.
Jacksonville seems to be the storm
| center, with Medford a close second.
A few days ago they had a young
cloudburst over there, attended with
considerable loss Of life (chickens),
and brisk movement in high priced
real estate; but l am pleased to state
the tendency of the real estate was
downward.
On the high ridge or divide between
jacksonville and Applegate creek,
there was a tremendous haistorm. A
man who passed that way told me the
hail stones We're as large as marbles,
and laid eight inches deep on a level,
and the forest trees were nearly strip
ped of their leaves.
l was surprised to see in an editorial
in a recent Portland Oregonian, that
they had made the astounding discov-
cry that the license from the saloons
did not pay the expense brought
about by the traffic. Temperance
years. but Scott has hooted at their
figures, and stood for the saloons
first, last, and all the time; the more
the better The city could not meet
her running expenses without, and
must soon go to the poorhouse. Why,
under Mayor Williams the city col
lected more than $4,000 from sa-
looms, gamblers and prostitutes: long
live Williams.
Pocket Nerve Affects Vision.
1t seems there has been a Change
come over the spirit of his Dreams"
and what has produced it? 1t is curl
Gus how the pocket nerve effects the
vision. A little twinge of that nerve
frequently gives one a very altered
point of view. The Oregonian knows,
as every one else who thinks must
know, that if it goes out over this
broad land of ours, that every man,
woman and child who passes in or out
of the fair, must pass through a long
lane, lined on each side with saloons
and drunken rowdies, thieves, pick
pockets, pimps, prostitutes and such
like ilk, the usual and natural con-
comitant of the saloon, hundreds, IL
not thousands of self-respecting peo-
pie will stay away, to the great finan-
cial detriment of the fair, not to say
anything of the moral aspect 1t will
reach farther and affect the immigra-
ton.

PIONEERS OF OREGON.
Annual Reunion to Be Held I'm Port
land This Week.

Portland, June 13.-Pioneers from
all parts of the state will gather in
this city next Thursday for the annu-
al reunion and banquet of the Ore
gon Pioneer society.
Members of the society are request
ed to secure their badges of Secre-
tary George H. Hines, at Pioneer
headquarters in the rooms of the Or
egon Historical society in the city
hall and assemble at the Armory at
2 o'clock sharp Thursday afternoon.
Joseph Buchtel, grand marshal, as
sisted by aids and the women's re-
ception committee, will receive the
members and conduct them to one
of the small halls in the Armory,
where literary exercises will take
place.
The souvenir pioneer badge en-
braces three pivotal ideas on which
the Pacific coast states were founded.
The picture of Captain Robert Gray
emphasizes his discovery of the Co
lumbia river in 1892; the portraits of
Lewis and Clark, the explorers, in
1905, and a picture of a primitive
home represented by a log cabin and
OK teams, show the formative period
between 1911 and 1859.
