Medford - The Butte Falls Lumber
company announces that it now has it's
sawmill plant at Butte Falls in condi-
tion to put out at least 14O, 900 feet of
lumber day, just as soon as the Med
ford & Crater Lake railroad is extended
to it's timber belt. The large acreage
of timber sold during the last few
weeks, and the fact that the larger
tracts are under bond in that great
timber section at the head Of Rogue

ni6cant OF an intention to rush this

NFWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST

VALLEY GRAIN LOOKS WELL.
Hops Give Promise Of Yielding an
Immense Crop.

Hops Give Promise Of Yielding an
Immense Crop.
Salsm-Crop prospects in the coun'
try surrounding Salem are very encour'
aging. The reports of aphis and Hes
sian fly are heard only from the Howell
prairie neighborhood and are not COM
ing from any other section. An extern
sive travel as far south as Stayton,
eastward to Scott's Mills and north to
Hubbard reveals a splendid stand OF
grain and grass everywhere, with a
promise of the greatest yield in many
years.
Fruit is looking we'll.
In many places close to streams
where brush is plentiful, there is a
plague of caterpillars, which are both
ering the trees and form source OF
troublesome annoyance.
Hops are fine; rank growth in all
yards that are taken care Of. A prom
inent grower says that O.egon Will
gather the heaviest crop OF hops in Its
history.
Spring work has been wsll done
throughout this county and there has
been much substantial improvement
made on the farms. There is notice
able tone of prosperity everywhere.
New dwellings, new barns, new fences
greet the eye in all directions, while
paint has added its beautifying infu-
ence quite generally.
A great deal of permanent road work
has been done and along the highways
a marked change for the better has
been wrought by the tearing out OF old
rail fences, the substitution OF neat
wire fences and the clearing away OF
the unsightly, wasteful fence rows OF
brush, weeds and wild roees. The en-
tire farming country breathes a spirit
of progress and prosperity.

PACKERS TO THEIR KNEES.
Secret Service Men Secure Startling
Testimony at Chicago.


Washington, June 12 Secret service
men are reported to be on their way
here with sensational information in
their possession as to use of preserva-
tives by the beef trust. They were
sent to Chicago by order of the presi'
dent as soon as he had been advised
verbally of the results of the investi.
CATION of Labor Commissioner Neill
and James Reynolds. 1t is said that
they have concluded an exhaustive in.
quiry which will not only bring the
packers to their knees but will remove
the powerful influences that are being
exerted against congress and tie great
cattle interests with a view OF forcing
the president to capitulate.
This pressure has become gigantic.
Every business, political and financial
rami6cation of the great trust is being
utilized directly and indirectly to have
a halt called on the government ex.
posure, and, If possible, get an Official
declaration that the portrayal of condi-
tions in the packing houses has been
exaggerated. Cattle interests OF the
great West and Southwest, which for
years have been clamoring in congress
and outside of it for protection against
the trust, have even been persuaded
that a continuation of government hos
tility will ruin them.
The cry of panic has been raised.
Not only bankers handling trust funds,
but their employees, friends and &C.
quaintances in theb usineas, social and
political world, have been enlisted to
use their efforts in the gigantic struggle
that is now in progress, to stem the
tide against the packers.

Oil in Vicinity of lacOmb.

Albany-Representatives of Eastern
capitalists have recently been investi-

generally believed here that develop

be begun soon. The operations have
been conducted with secrecy, however,

THE FAST TRAIN RUNS,
INTO An OPEN SWITCH
FEARFUL WRECK WAS AVERTED
ONLY BY THE FACT THAT THE
TRAIN WAS RUNNING SLOW.

As the st. Louis-Mexico special was
entering the west yards last night, a
little past the hour of midnight, it ran
into an open switch, and struck a
string of cars. A frightful wreck was
only ayerted by the fact that the
train, usually travelling at the rate of
forty OF fifty miles an hour, had slow
ed down because of entering the yards.
As it was, the front of the locomotive
was dismantled, a paint car was
wrecked, and the passengers were
given a pretty good jolt.
Engineer Bill Lyme, one of the COM

He was able to bring the train into
