started out on foot for Cobb where
they arrived in good season, but after
a trip that they will not soon forget.

1t will be a cold winter and a
coal famine IS impending. Such are
the dire predictions of the different
authorities. Fishermen say that the
fish have been swimming low and
that when they thug the bottom it
is a sure sign that exceptionally cold
weather is coming. Hunters base a
similar prediction on the fact that the
squirrels have unusually heavy coats
this fall and are also laying up very
heavy supply Of winter provisions.
The farmers say that the coats OF all
their domestic animals and fowls are
heavier than usual. On top of these
predictions comes the one regarding
coal which is based upon statistics.
The Black Diamond, reliable coal
publication says that there is not
enough of the needed fuel to go
around even with an average winter
and advises consumers and retailers
to lay in immediate supplies. It is
further stated that there will be a
shortage of cars on all railroads. As
yet this fall Lancaster dealers have
not been entirely out of coal although
few weeks ago it was feared that
such would be the case. At that
time several car loads we're on the
way but were delayed In transit and
arrived just in time to avert brief
local coal famine.

The burning of man at the

it does not check the alleged

high regard the brutes have for

The taking of life in such a

NOTICE TO FARMERS
AND FRUIT GROWERS
Exhibits of Grasses and Grains Will
BE Sent Free TO Eastern

The Commercial Club of Grants
Pass is in receipt of a letter from
William McMurray, general agent
of the Southern Pacific railway,
stating that If we will furnish dis
play of grains, grasses and fruits put
up in jars, that he viii have the
same exhibited at the Iowa State
fair. the Nebraska State fair and the
Minnesota State fair; also at the Fat

in large letters, and those at all in
terested are urged to ask for litera-
ture and information about Oregon.
The advertisement informs the read
er that railroad rates are the same to
all parts of Oregon from the east
and Oregon commercial bodies will
be supplied with addresses of all en-
qlirers so that the whole state may
profit by this advertising, although
Portland will bear all the expense
There is probably no other city in the
world that has done a like thing
1t is urged that all get in line for
this valuable publicity. People from
the east who ask about this state
should be answered promptly and
fully by every commercial body. In
this way, it is believed, very great
benefits will follow for all Oregon.
This is the more important now
that the colonist rates for this fall
have been decided upon by the rail-
roads. Reduced one-way tickets will
be sold to all Pacific Coast points
from the East and Middle West for
colonists and homeseekers who de-
sire to settle here. The advertising
campaign for settlers will be well
supplemented by these attractive
rates to settlers.
President Taft will visit Oregon
this fall. He will come in October

other cities of the state as his itin-
erary Will permit. The President has

cents. while "old-olds," or 19O6s,
which last winter were not worth
over l or l Y cents a pound, are now
quoted at Z cents, that price being
offered for a 225-bale lot. About
$500 bales of these "olds" and "old-
olds" remain in growers hands in

The furry in the hop market is
the result of the bad crop reports

The English crop for some time past

cwt., but the yards have taken a
turn for the worse because of rains
at the critical growing period, and
cables received yesterday said the
English estimates are now 100000
to 275,000 cwt. Last year England
raised 100000 cwt.; in 1907, 975,-

in 1905, 100000 cwt.

night a stroke of paralysis, which
ended in death about $50 Thurs

The funeral will be held at the

German Crop Short.

The crop of Germany and other
Continental countries, where the con-
ditions are even worse than in Eng
land is now estimated at about 600,-
600 cwt., against 100000 cwt. in
1908, 100000 cwt. in 1907, S00,-
900 in 1906, and 100000 in 1905.
Fortunately for Oregon, there has
been an improvement in the crop
here. What looked like a $4,000
bale yield two months ago now in
dicates crop of perhaps $4,000
bales, though most of the dealers are
not ready to acknowledge it. Wash
ington will have about 100000 bales.
The California crop has suffered in
the last few days from hot winds
and 10000 bales is now an outside
estimate for that state Unfavorable
weather has given the New York
crop a setback and estimates have
been reduced to $4,000 bales.

A terrible accident occurred at
the Henkle & Kesterson saw mill,
two miles north of Glendale. at
1890 O'Clock on Saturday morning
last. Charles V. Henkle, of the
firm, happened to be at work on the
rollway, at the same time some logs
were being started forward down the
steep incline, when they had been
fairly started the workmen engaged
noticed Mr.. Henkle's position and
shouted to apprize him of the dan
ger. but, perhaps owing to the noise
OF the mill, which was running at
the time, he did not hear and he was
caught between the logs, which
crushed his hips and abdomen. The
workmen rushed to his assistance
and he was taken from between the
logs, This was the work of only a
few moments but nothing could be
done for the relief of the injured
man and he died in about ten min
utes after being rescued.
A telephone message was sent to
the city informing his partner, II. G.
kesterson, and II. l.. Gilkey of the
accident and these gentlemen were
Immediately taken by Elmer Shank
In his automobile to the scene of the
accident, where they arrived I'm an

was brought to Grants Pass that
same evening and prepared for ship
ment to his old home at Colorado
Springs, Colo. where II was taken
on Sunday accompanied by his
widow and Mrs. S, Loughrldge This
unfortunate accident was terrible
shock to this community, where Mr..
llenkle was so well and favorably
known.
Charles " Henkle came TO this
city from Colorado Springs five
years ago, After a time he formed
a partnership with II. l.. Gllkey and
H. G, Kesterson to carry on the saw
mill business under the name of the
Evans Creek Lumber company. A
year and half ago Mr.. Gllkey sold
his interest in the mill to his two
partners and since that time they
have conducted The business. Mr..
llenkle has number Of relatives
who survive him; besides his widow.
he has a brother in California. also
one In Wyoming, and other near re-
latives in Colorado Springs. He was
born in Indiana August 20, 1866.
and was consequently at the time OF
his death nearly i3 years Old. The
widow has the deep sympathy of the
people OF Grants Pass IN this sad
hour OF her afflctlon and all unite
in expressions Of high esteem for a
valuable citizen lost to this city and
county.
