The Big Gray Car
SOnOnla County
Sends Compliments
Chamber of Commerce,

Santa Rosa, Cal, Aug. 12, 1915.
Mr.. NJ. j. Duryea, Director of Public
ity, Ashland Commercial Club,
Ashland, Ore.
Dear Sir: Your letter of August 7
duly received, calling attention to the
facilities that the people of Ashland
have provided for touring motorists
while passing through your section of
the country.
From your description, this camp
ing ground must certainly be an ideal
place for the traveller to use when
passing through Ashland. | will in
deed be glad to give all sorts of pub
licity to this matter through our local
papers and otherwise, and you can
rest assured that any of our Sonoma
county people taking a trip through
your section will be glad to stop at
Ashland. We will also be glad to as
sist you in any other possible way
am sorry to say that we in this
section have not been able to get
things down to such a fine point as
yet, but we are always willing to
learn from our neighbors. You can
assure any of your people or any Of
the tourists who are thinking of COM
ing through Sonoma county that they
will find splendid roads and many at
tractive features that will appeal to
the tourist.
AS you probably know, we have the
wonderful Petrified Forest, which Is
only twelve miles from the state high
way, connecting Healdsburg and
Santa Rosa. This forest contains
some remarkable specimens of the
redwood trees that are now turned to
stone. One Of these trees is seventy
five feet long and twelve feet in di-
ameter at the base. There are
great many others scattered about
the forest, and it is indeed place
we'll worth visiting.
We also have the natural geysers,
many hot springs and the wonderful
Russian river country, which is called
"The Playground Of San Francisco"
This beautiful river winds through
the heart of the redwoods and empties
into the ocean. A dam is built on
this river every summer, giving
splendid boating and swimming facil-
tiles to the thousands of pleasure
seekers that go there annually.
/ am taking the liberty of sending
you, under separate cover, one of our
Sonoma county booklets, which will

Portland Stock Market,

The receipts for Monday are Cat
tie LII, hogs 1,617, sheep 1,430
Cattle-A very fair run of 1900
cattle came forward over Sunday.
The usual 7-cent kind were not in
evidence, however, and $500 was as
close as any sales were made. Cows
sold from &c to $5,25, stays $3.50 to
Sc, bulls 1915 to $5.25.
Hogs-There was another spectac-
ular advance in the hog section the
first of the week. Last weeks top
was advanced 80 cents, making the
present high mark for hogs $3.50.
Receipts have been light, only 1000
being on Mondays market.
Sheep-Sheep house transactions
were steady in all lines. Some lambs
sold end of last week at $3.50, this
price being of course for strictly
good stuff. Only about $500 came
forward this week.

Carmen'S Strike
RumOred Revoked

Rumors to the effect that the
Southern Pacific carmens strike,
whfch occurred several years ago,
has been called off, are becoming
substantiated by reports from Rose
burg which stated that the Southern
Pacific Company is sending letters
to all of the machinists, boilermak-
ers, blacksmiths, sheet metal work.
ers and car repairers who went on
strike several years ago, offering to
reinstate them to their former posi-
tions. No actual verification of the
report can be gained at the local
yards. The strike threatened to tie
up and cripple the Southern Pacific
traffic at the time of its occurrence
and the greater portion of the local
carmen went out and have not re-
turned to work since. A report
from Dunsmuir is to the effect that
Jimmy Hibsch has gone back TO
work. This lends to the credibility
of the report.
If 1t is true that the strike has
been called off, strained relations
which have existed between the en-
ginemen and the carmen will be
greatly relieved.

Hunters Warned
Concerning Fire

The opening of the hunting sea-
son with the subsequent increase in
the number of people in the hills
means a much greater danger of for
est fires starting. Observance of the
suggestions below by all will prevent
direct loss of taxable property, dan
ger to other hunters, prospectors and
ranchers, and indirect loss to the
community resultant upon driving
away tourists by smoke and black
ened hillsides.
Remember that carelessness caus-
es fires; precaution prevents them.
Do not toss away burning matches
or tobacco, cigar stubs or cigarettes.
Every large fire has a small begin
ming.
Do not build campfires against
trees, stumps, logs or in any vegeta-
BILE matter. Build them on mineral
soil by first scraping away the leaves
and decayed vegetation.
Do not build larger campfires than
are necessary.
II you find a fire that you cannot
put out, report it to the nearest for
est officer.
Put out your campfire completely
before leaving it, even for short
time.

fee mentioned, there should also be paid in connection with the applica- ton, original commissions which amount to 8 per cent of the cash value of the land rated at 1.25 per acre. After May 2l, 1915, no settlement af- fidavit is required.
 Applicants should take notice that in construing the provisions of the general homestead laws and the Act of March 8, 1903,-the special Alas ka homestead law,-there must exist a reservation area along navigable bodies of water equal to the area of one lot between the settlements upon lands along such bodies of water; al so that such settlers should restrict their shoreline to a length of one-half mile, measuring such distance, not along the meander line but along the line of the subdivision abutting upon such water.
 Applicants should be advised that if they wish to take their lands along navigable bodies of water, adjoining lands selected by their neighbOrs, without a lot reservation between them or for a distance of more than one-half mile measured in the manner herein stated, their selection is made at their own risk; and if the position of this office in this respect is upheld by the General Land Office, such set tiers will later be required to exclude from the area claimed by them a sufficient area to meet requirement of the law.
The Seward gateway., 1915-04-19

It should be noted that the circular attached permits the filing of appliea- tions by those who have not made settlement upon the land, but such ap- plications will be acted on and dis posed of, in accordance with the cir cular, on the date of the filing of the plat, or within one week thereafter.

STOCK AND CROP NEWS.

Indications point to a heavy prune
crop in the Spokane district this sea-
son,
The estimated damage to the fruit
crop at Prosser, Wash, from the cleo
trical storm runs into thousands of
dollars. Pear growers, who had just
started to ship, are the heaviest losers.
1t is too early to determine the losses
of apple growers.
E. Wagner & Son, through their
representative, ]. H. Dengel, at We
natchee, have now contracted for over
100000 boxes of standard apples,
straight orchard, at an average price
of 81 box, and he is still buying
lots throughout the valley. On each
box of apples bought an advance or
10 cents box has been paid to the
grower or unit. The balance will be
paid on delivery. The majority of the
apples are intended for the Australian
and South American markets. In look
ing over the contracts it is seen that
80 varieties have been bought and
that over $4,000 has already been dis
tributed.

| The cod fishery along the entire
Labrador coast has been a total fail
ure so far this season, according to a
wireless received from the Labrador
mail steamer Saginaw, which is now
in the north. She reports that there
is little chance for catch during Au-
gust and September.
A. w. Cooper, secretary of the West
ern Pine Manufacturers association,
has announced the total shipments
and cut of lumber for the month
ended June 80, as follows: Shipments:
1914, 40 mills, 3606 carloads, $780,
$50 feet. 1915, 40 mills, 1884 carloads,
sS,636,976 feet. Total cut: 1914, 1885,

97S feet.
Preliminary plans designed to make
available the resources of the federal
reserve system in the annual fall
movement of crops have been worked
out by the federal reserve board
Writing to the IL regional banks the
board pointed out in letter made pub
lie this week how members of the sys-
tenn may help to finance the crop
movement. The boards action was
taken, the letter says, to forestall any
possibility of congestion of crops this
fall or lack of financial aid to move
them, and to avoid a recurrence of the
stringency which in the past has
marked this movement.
The tolls collected for use of the
Panama canal during July were the
largest since the waterway has been
in operation. The total was $573,36
as compared with the March tolls of
$5607S4, the previous record. The
excess of earnings for the year ended
June 80 were $230,s3S, the total oper-
ating expenses for the year being $4,.
343,3s3. The total earnings for the
year amounted to $4,112,550, which
does not take into consideration the
interest on the capital invested
charges against depreciation, sinking
fund and other like general items, nor
about $4,000 which was deducted
, from the earnings on account of gov.
eminent vessels using the canal.

San Francisco.-Abraham Ruef, once
a political power in San Francisco, now
serving a 14-year term in San Quentin
prison for offering bride to San
Francisco supervisor, has included in
his application for parole request that
he be debarred from entering San
Francisco county within 80 days, it
has been learned. Ruef has completed
service of four years and five months,
half the net time of his sentence, al
lowing for good behavior credits.
George B. Keane, attorney for Ruef,
says Ruef feared his presence in San
Francisco during the municipal cleo
ton campaign now in progress might
result in enemies charging that he had
resumed political activity. To fore
stall this Keane said Ruef asked that
he be prevented from coming here.
Hearing on Ruef's application has
been set on the calendar for Aug. 81,
at San Quentin by the state board of
prison directors. No objections have
been offered to Ruef's parole, Keane
said, and he expects it will be granted.
The board has ON its calendar about
165 cases. Ordinarily not more than rs
cases are considered at the sessions,
which are held monthly at each prison

father, died last year. His mother has

JAIL TRusTY is ATTACKED.
Men Outside With Bar Flee and
Escape Bullet


Fenton Johnson, federal prisoner
at the county Jail in Spokane, who has
been allowed the privileges of trusty
while serving two months for improper
use of the mails, suffered cut on the
head and wound on the wrist from fly
ing glass early Saturday morning when
individuals from the outside thrust a
bar through the window. The injured
man was hurried to the emergency
hospital, where it was found his in
juries are not serious.
Officer Bowers had heard noises in
the cells in the top of the Jail and had
gone to investigate when the scantling
was thrust through the glass and the
hand of Johnson was grabbed. Johnson
shouted for help and was released. Of
ficer Bowers rushed to the window and
saw the men flee, but was unable to
halt them when he fired.
While some deputies were of the
opinion the attack might have been
made by some enemy of Johnson or Of
Bowers, the sheriff is confident some
one planned to aid a prisoner to es-
cape.
A foreigner and soldier had been
seen about the jail earlier in the night.
according to the officers. Martin Knez-
vich and Robert Wuescich, Montene-
grins held on murder charges, may
have planned an escape with the aid of
an accomplish, according to Sheriff
Waller.
