DRILLING CONTESTS
 HELD IN DOUGLAS
Records Made During the Fourth of
 July Festivities.

The result of the Fourth of July drill ing contest at Douglas is given as fol- lows by the Bisbee Review
 The entries and the score for the dOuble-handed events were as follows: Tarr and Mackenzie. 42 3-4.
 Make and Page, 43 3-4.
 Bradshaw and Pickens, A 15-16.
 McIvor and Ross, A 15-16.
 Fred Yockey won the single-hand contest at Douglas in the easiest of fashion. The champion was the last to come on the rock and had but to drill 22 Is inches to get first money. His nearest competitor was Bradshaw, of the doubIe-hand team of Bradshaw and Pickens, Bradshaw drilling 20 17-64 inches. Dick Conley. the patriarch of the game, came third, with 20 3-16. McGowan, Tarr. John Conley and Bob Lyons all failed to make 20 inches, and were out of the running. Bill King bested all the above with a hole that measured 20 1-16 inches. but was still in the list Of the also rans.
 Considering Kings handicap in the almost total loss of his sight, his per formance is good. He won second at the territorial fair at Phoenix last winter.
 Here are the records made in the single-hand event drilled on the 5th, in the order of the drilling:
 Dan McGowan, 19 S-S; Sel Tarr, 19 1-4; Dick Conley, 20 3-16: Bradshaw. 20 17-64; King. 20 1-6; John Conley, 19 5-16; Bob Lyons, 19 1922; Yockey, p Is.

"Where's Wflie?" asked MT. Spratt arriving home from business the other night
 "Oh. John" repied Mrs. Spratt with a troubled countenance, something very, very distressing happened today. I left two cents lying on the dining room table and Willie took it and went out to the corner and bought candy with it. I taxed him with the crime and he owned up. l corrected him and sent him to bed. You must have a serious talk with him in the morning. Oh, I am so distressed about Willie! I believe I should die John, really, if the boy grew up dishonest" And Mrs. Spratt wiped a tear out of her eye.
 "Oh, I wouldn't worry" sOOthingly replied the husband. 'I will take to the little sinner in the morning. Willie is only six years old, you know, and most children of that age are apt to yield easily to temptation. Their ideas of right and wrong are not firmly fixed as yet. But what have you been doing today. love?"
 "Oh! I have been shopping; and; John, the funniest thing happened. I rode all the way up town in a surface car and it didn't cost me a cent. The conductor never once asked me for my fare"
 And did you offer it to him" "Of course not, goosie. It was his business to ask me for it, wasn't it?"
 Do you think that was quite-er- eh-honest?" ventured John. "Why, of course it was" tartly re- piled Mrs. Spratt. What is the con- ductor paid for I should like to know. It isn't my business to make him col lect fares, is it?"
 Well. now, in Willie's case" ven tured the amused husband.
 ''Why, John. how can you talk so silly?" rejoined his wife. "The eases are entirely different You are absurd Really I don't think men have their sense of right and wrong and more firmly fixed than children.

But I'm fairly well posted on fire crackers, little square flat packs. you know, with a thin red paper stuck on, stamped with a guilt dragon and funny letters that didn't spell anything. Each of us got a whole single pack and two punk-sticks, and that had to last out the day. Downtown after dark, wild fellows that had lots of money to spend used to set off a whole pack at a time. That was reckless extravaganza, but it was splendid on that account. Who cares for ten cents? Plenty more where that came from! And to hear the snap

CAPITAL CITY
A CENTER OF
MANUFACTURERS
Continued from First Page.)
Growing Lumber Industry.


The Spaulding Logging company
acquired an ideal site, the Capital
n sawmills at Salem in April, 1905.
ABOUT $4,000 has been put into the
development of the plant, and about
J eighty men are employed with a
I monthly payroll of about $4,000.
\ The daily output at present is
about $4,000 feet, the plant cutting
as high as $4,000 some days of ten
hours. Twenty-Five more men are to
go onto a planning mill force October
LIST. About January 1, 1907, the
force will be enlarged sufficiently to
run day and night. That will mean
daily cut of 10000 feet and plan
ing mill capacity to match. At pres
ent about SO to 60 cars are shipped
much of it going to Chicago and in
ter-mountain points. The shipments
have been reduced by car shortage.
The Spaulding company mill at New
kberg is doing as much business as
/ the mill at Salem and about 250
men are employed in the logging
camps, on the river and steamboats,.
etc. The Spaulding Logging COM
pany is the largest employing cor
poration in the Willamette valley.
Next to the Booth-Kelly company
Mr.. Spaulding thinks the Hartman
company has done its utmost to fur
nish cars. and while he could have
loaded more than he got, he thinks
his plants have been fairly treated
in proportion to other mills. The
fuel waste at the Salem mills is a
Aproblem as yet unsolved. At low
estimate the sawdust and planer
waste alone would make 500-horse
power of steam or electricity. About
1000 wagon loads a month are sold
as short wood for fuel, and 1t is hard
to imagine the condition of the local
fuel supply but for these mills. A
steam heating plant to consume this
sawmill waste would heat the entire
city. Their plant at Salem is the
FINEST on the river.
Thomas Kay Woolen Mill Company
The Thos. Kay Woolen Mill com.
pany employs about 1875 people, runs
day and night. The manufacture
consists of wooden blankets, hannels
mackinaws, ladies dress goods and
mems suitings. The business was
established in 1899 at the present
site. 1t has been enlarged several
times and the monthly payroll is
now almost $4,000. The annual con-
sumption of wool is nearly five hun
dred thousand pounds. Water power
is used at present, and the company
has it's own electric light plant and
fire protection. The Salem woolen
mills product is sold largely on the

Prune Industry at Salem.
Tillson & Co. employ 125 men and
girls, and their total output amounts
to five or six million pounds of
prunes, or about s250,000. The
The plant was established four years
ago, and the past few years has gone
into the box package business. The
boxes range from ten to 25 and so
pounds each.
The Willamette Valley Prune as
sociation runs three packing houses,
besides the one at Salem. Those
outside of Salem are located at Rose
burg, Newberg and Dundee and
conducted by H. s. Gile & Co. The
business at Salem was started six
years ago, and now employees about
100 persons in the packing season,
anu dpOul w W ~ at SdCh VI thS
other plants. BY November Is,
there must be got out 1870 cars of 20
tons each, or between FIVE and six
million pounds. This Is forty days
pack and the total output will equal
or pass the ten million pound mar
ket. The firm packs and ships green
prunes and plums, apples and pears.
At present they are packing the
Buerre Bose, and the Clarigau crop
of the Wallace orchard near Salem.
The total payroll of this firm for the
year will reach $4,000.
Manufacture of Flour.
The Capital City mills by Bryant
and Reeder were establisher in 1902
by Mr.. Bryant, with payroll of
about $4,000 ayear, and using about
10000 bushels of wheat per year.
They crush about 100000 bushels of
oats and barley per year besides.
Fifty barrels a day of cereal pro-
ducts in addition makes a total of
220, 900 bushels capacity. The mills
carry at present about forty thou
sand bushels of wheat. The Capital
mills have always helped build up
the wheat market and Salem is now
considered the best wheat market
in the Willamette valley.
The Capital FIGURING Mills are
running steadily supplying local
trade, and are not only holding the
field. but are rapidly extending the
trade and this on the merits of their
products alone. The mill is first
class and has furnished local mar
ket for our wheat growers when II
was alone in the milling business.
The plant is first class, and besides
-four, the very best of cereal foods
are made. 1t is one of Salem's wide
awaye Industries.
Workers in Iron.
The Salem Iron Works has been
under the present management since
March. 1904. They employ now IS
persons. They have the largest
plant of its kind between Portland
and Frisco. The past year they

of hop balers, turning out 63 Salem

CATTLE SUFFER
ON THE UMAT|LLA
MANY HERDS HAVE BEEN
TURNED ON THE RANGE.
Snow Is From One To Two Feet in
Depth on Upper Umatilla River and
Many Young Cattle Were Weak
sudden Cold Change Will Cause
Much Suffering and Some Loss
Stockmcn Are Gathering the Weak
est TO Give Them Feed and Shelter.

Stock losses on the upper Umatilla
river promise to be severe if the cold
weather continues for any length of
time.
The early spring and beautiful
weather which had been enjoyed in
that locality had induced stockmen
to drive their cattle to the mountains
and as some of the young cattle were
weak the severe weather and deep
snow will cause considerable suffer-
ing and possibly some loss since it
will be impossible to gather in all the
cattle that had been turned out.
The grass had started nicely on the
foothills and mountains along the
umatilla and stock had been on the
fresh grass long enough to be work
ened by the change from the dry feed
of the winter and were in bad condi-
ton for cold spell. Several hundred
cattle belonging to small stockmen
along the river had been turned out
to range and the owners are now
riding day and night endeavoring to
gather in the weakest to give them
feed and shelter. The snow is from
one to two feet in depth on the up
per Umatilla river above Bingham
springs.
