Almost daily we are importuned to
know the provisions of this or that To-
cal law passed for,. .,,s county by the
riasr general assembly, as the public is
in the dark. Our answer is, we do not
know. as we have not access to these
laws. Now we imagine those laws
were passed for The common good and
the public should know what they are
otherwise they cannot be observed,
In every other County in the State
they are published by the County
Commission ers, but in this County
they are kept locked in the vault in the
County Commissioners office, as much
hidden from public vision as possible
If it is of practical good to publish the
important general laws Immediately
after the Legislature adiourns, does
the same not apply to the local laws ?
If it is wise to publish the local laws in
the other Counties of the State, why
not in this County We suppose,
however, it is but natural for us to be
behind in everything progressive.

OREGON FIR FOR PULlMANS.
Millions Of Feet Used Every Year for
Palace Cars.

Millions of Feet Used Every Year for
Palace Cars.
Portland-In 18 months Portland
has furnished between 100000, 900 and
Sc, 900, 900 feet of fir lumber for use in
the construction of cars at the shops oi
the Pullman Car company, located at
Pullman, Ill. In the purchase of this
material, the company has expended
close to 81 500, 900.
These figures are vo1ched for by Al.
bert Jones, purchasing agent of the
Pullman company, who was sent to
the West Is months ago to buy lumber.
The first is used exclusively for siding
on boxcars, and, besides the lumber
bought here, more is continually being
contracted for in other sections. Some
of the material is dressed, such as floor
ing, siding and the like, while more
has been shipped rough.
There is no prospective cessation Of
the buying 80 far as the pine is con.
cerned, and, while yellow pine is also
largely used, that is not being drawn
from this locality. In the construction
of sleeping and passenger cars only
hard woods are utilized, particularly
for finishing the interior. Some ma
terial is often left in dry kilns four or
five months, subject to slow heat and
the air drying process, in order that
when fitted in cars it is perfectly sea-
soned.

ROCK CREEKS FINE FRUIT.
Growers Busy Picking Large Crop o
Apples and Pears.

Growers Busy Picking Large Crop ot
Apples and Pears.
Rock Creek - The ranchers along
Rock creek have stepped out Of the hay
harvest into the fruit harvest, and are
picking apples and pears. Fruit men
are proud OF their orchards and claim
that Hood River or any other locality
in the Northwest can produce no finer
fruit or more abundant yields. Fruit
is shipped from this section to many
important points in the East, and com.
pares favorably with any OF the pro-
ducts in these markets. The leading
fruit growers are William Head and A.
A. Carothers. The former has an or
chard of 10 acres, the latter about 20
acres. Mr.. Head has picked and ship
ped about 800 boxes Of apples, peaches
and pears to Spokane, Walla Walla
and Pendleton and other points east,
while some was shipped to Condor and
Arlington. He estimates he will have
1000 boxes OF winter apples for ship
ment. Mr.. Carothers has shipped L.
900 boxes OF fruit and will ship 1900
more. These gentlemen get the high
est prices for their fruit. Fruit grown
on Rock creek captured first prize and
gold medal at the Omaha exposition
few years ago. The exhibit was made
by A. A. Carothers, and was a surprise
to orchardists, packers and dealers.

Stockmen are apprehensive of great
losses, as the storm came upon them
The storm is slightly

LOSS WAS HEAVY.
Cuban Hurricane Crosses the Island i,
Leaving Death in Trail.

Havana, Oct. 22.-More fom olete re-
ports have been received by Governor
Magooon and show that the recent hur-
rican, which swept across Cuba, has
caused greater damage than was at first
supposed. Scores of lives are now
known to have been lost as the result of
the storm.
The worst reports come from the Ba-
tabano, on the south coaet OF Cuba, the
point where the cyclone first struck the
island. Forty fishing echooners are
now known to have been lost Many
corpses have been picked up floating in
the bay, and it is believed the dead at
this point alone will reach nearly 100.
The majority of the victims are Spanish
fehermen. Wreckage from the vessels
which were destroyed litter the shores
for miles. 1t is believed that several
small schooners were swept out to sea
and lost, their crews perishing.
The town itself suffered severely.
Nine bodies have been removed 80 far
from the ruins. On every hand are to
be seen evidences OF the storms fury.
Houses were blown down, trees we're
uprooted, and devastation has been
wrought generally. A conservative es-
innate of the damage in that city is
100000 The greatest d image was
caused in the lower porti n of the city.
The upper section away from the shore
escaped almost miraculously. The
wharves were badly damaged, in many |
Eases completely wrecked.

Since the caee was last postponed at the

Hermann and his whereabouts are un.

on this ecore however.

GRAIN TRAFFIC BLOCKED,
Shippers May Appeal to Interstate
Board Against Railroads.

New York, Oct. 20.-There has for
rome time been active complaint by the
New York grain trade at the railroad
delay in bringing wheat and corn to
this port.
The COMPLAINTS have become 80 gem
eral, says the Journal of Commerce, to-
day, that the railroads have finally de-
cided that until they can secure poss-
session of equipment they will not re-
ceive any more grain. This refusal is
absolute and applies to new as well as
old business.
The grain trade is greatly excited
over the decision, and joint meeting
OF the Produce Exchange grain commit
tee with the committee on trade and
transportation was held today with the
steamship interests to deviae ways and
means, take legal advice, and if neces-
sary make formal appeal to the Inter-
state Commerce commission against the
action of the roads.

Combine Packing Houses.

Chicago. Oct. 22.-Rumors that an
English holding company is being Or
ganized to take over all the packing in
terests of the United States flew thick
and fast in LaSalle street today. The
capital of the concern is said to be close
to $500, 900, 900, ard j. Ogden Armour
is mentioned as the practicatl chief.
While nobody in position to give the
facts would say anything one way or
the other on the subject, certain things
that have recently transpirsd in the
street are called significant by students
of similar financial proceedings.

PACKERS MAKING MONEY.
Talk of Sale to English Syndicate Is
Not Credited.

Washington, Oct. 23.- The Agricul-
tural department officials are very
much interested in the report from
Chicago that the big packing houses
are contemplating gigantic company,
to be financed bv English capital.
They do not look for the carrying out
OF any such project. For years the
packing companies have been straining
every nerve to create the impression
that they are acting independently OF
eacch other.
Officials here declare that notwith-
standing the rigorous beef inspection
measures now being enforced, the pack
ing houses are being operated With
big profit. They cannot see wherein
there would be any serious disadvant-
age for the packers as the outcome of
such deal, for foreign corporations
would be absolutely at the mercy of the
states.

SALT LAKE WIND SWEPT.
Buildings Razed and Packing Plant
DESTROYED by Fire.

Salt Lake City, Oct. %. - For "a
hours this city and vicinity was swept
by wind storm of unparalleled sever
iity. In addition to three serious acci.
dents to persons, property has been
devastated over a wide area, fire
famed by the wind has obliterated the
new plant of the Utah Packing COM
pany, and monetary loss OF appproxi-
mately $3.50, 900 is entailed.
During the full period of the storm
trains have arrived irregularly or not
at all. For much of the time the street
car service has been at q standstill, and
the electric lighting plants are out OF
commission.
The burning OF the Utah packing
plant, north of the city, is the most
serious single loss. The building had
just been completed at cost of $780,
900, and was to have been put into use
in few days. The project was inaug.
urated by Western cattlemen and was
in opposition to the large packing
houses in the East. The cause of the
fire has not been ascertained. Only
small fraction of the loss is covered by
insurance.
Ruined buildings, fallen chimneys,
broken windows, loosened signs end
toppled trees throughout this and al.
joining towns are the most common
souvenirs of the storm and aggregate an
immense loss. The wind attained q
maximum velocity TO 52 miles an hour.
For hours at maintained an average
speed of SS miles an hour. The local
weather bureau has been handicapped,
but expresses the opinion that the
storm is local and with little effect /
north of Ogden or south of Provo.

Arctic whaler Gottfried, and forwarded
to the United States State department.
They were mailed to Mr.. Baldwin from

Blaze in Freight Sheds,

San Francisco, Oct. 20.-Fire broke
ont laet night in the freight sheds of
the Southern Pacific on Berry street,
between Fifth and Sixth, and made
rapid progress on account OF the inflam-
mable material in its path. Some
alarm was felt throughout the city on
account of the quickly spreading action
of the flames, but the reorganized fire
department proved itself equal to the
and surrounding property
was protected. The water supply was
ample and in good order. Alongside of
the sheds 80 freight cars were consumed.

nor of the state Of Sonora, of being re-

rights. The accusation refers to tn
entrance on Mexican soil of Arizon
rangers, alleged to have been in the
convoy at the time of the

Prices of Cattle Advancing,

La Grsnde-Peter O'Sulivan, who
has just returned from a visit to Wal.
Iowa county, says that one of the chieI
causes for the prevailing prosperity in
all sections of that country is the in
crease in the price of cattle. Repre-.
sentatives of the Pacific Meat company
are making large purchases, and Walla
Walla buyers are looking for feeders.
The range leasing plan has proved very
satisfactory, and the forming of separ-
ate boundaries for cattle and sheep has
resulted to the advantage of the cattle,
which come from the range in fine con.
dition.

Alaska Mining Industry.

Washington, Oct 23-No romance
is keener than the story of mining in
dustry in Alaska during the last de.
cade. 1t is estimated roughly by the
increase in the value OF its annual out
put from S24, 90, 900 in 1895 to more
than SIS, 200, 600 in 1905. The gold
production of 1905, according to reports
of the United States Geological survey.
increased by so per cent over 1904.
An important fact in the advancement
of Alaska's mineral industry during the
last decade, says the report, is the great
reduction in mining companies.

Apples at the Fruit Fair.

Hood River - The exhibit OF apples
grown by A. l. Mason, which took the
sweepstakes and eeveral other prizes
at the Hood River Fruit fair consisted
of three boxes taken from 9.year-
trees, planted SO to the acre. The
trees averaged five and a half boxes,
and altogether he took 1,141 boxes
from his orchard. In the entire yield
there were only 64 wormy apples dur.
ing the season and the trees were
sprayed six times with arsenate OF lead.
In the whole yield there were only 81
boxes that went smaller than four tiers
to the box.
