OREGON CITY, JUNE 21, 1895. A COUNTY POOR FARM. The county court baa for some time bad under consideration the idoa of ; aecurinz a suitable piece of land for a v poor farm and lias about decided to pur ; chase a small tract of land near this city, t It Is thought by the court that a small f tract would be best as it would require less money to purchase and it can be added to at any time In the future ; that it should be near town so that physicians could more easily adminintor to the I sick and invalid paupers, and it would : also save transportation of those unable V to walk a greater distance, If, for in' ; stance, the farm was 2) or 25 miles out ' (where 100 acres could be purchased as cheaply as 10 near the county seat.) For the information 'of those who are I not posted on tbe pauper expenses of the county the editor of the Coi'rikr ' has found from the records that it cost this county $372.50 during April and $399.15 during May to keep and care for its poor. In April 27 persons drew money as or for paupers which shows that the number of same in the county is not far from 30 as a few persons draw for two, making an average of over $12 for each. These sums include clothing, medicines, care and keeping, but not the physician's fee which amounts to about $15 per month more. The Slay account includes $92.75 paid for railroad tickets, which would reduce that month's ox penses to $300.40. At May term of the court the allowance for "regular" paupers was reduced $18 per month. To show the cost of paupers In Mult nomah the following report is published : The report of the poor farm for April shows a daily average number of in mates of 103; 17 persons were admitted, and 29 were discharged. The bill for the month was $913.27. May 1st in mates were enrolled as follows. Males, native born, 32 ; males, of foreign na tivity, 45; leniales, native, 8; foreign, 0; children. 4; average expense per inmate per day, 20.7 cents. The bill for April is much large than the average monthly bill, by reason of a nev farm wagon having to be purchased, which cost $135. , It will be seen by this report that 103 paupers cost $8.09 per month each, but it is doubtful if this county, with fewer poor, can keep them for less, but such may be the case. . . The following from the Roseburg Review shows that the poor farm in that county is not a complete success: The Review contends still that it would be much cheaper for the county court jT-'TiP ' 10 Pay 'or boardinii the half dozen ' -.', paupers kept on the poor farm, and then dispose of the farm. Tbe proceeds of j.. .. v. the sale would reduce the interest hear . ing deot several thousand dollars, and there would also be an. actual saving in - the expense ot keeping the paupers now costing probably a year, ex elusive oi tne use ot a valuable tarm A communication from a responsible citizen, who is well acquainted with the facts in the case, is published In another column and is worthy of peraual. Among the many quixotic Ideas ad vancod for thti convalescence ot our pockelbooks Is that of Mr. Ltibln, wholesale commission merchant of San Francisco . Briefly, he would foster agriculture and shipping by export and tonnage bounties, to be paid by those who did not own either farms or ships France endeavored to increase her far1 elgn commerce by paying tonnage bounties, but after a few years found the experiment to be both a costly and miserable failure. French ships would not increase any fnstor than French com merce and the undue increase of tonnage which resulted seriously dopreised the shipping business. In Russia, Ger man), France, Holland and Belgium thel production of beet sugar has been stimulated by the payment of export bounties, and now, after some years of this experiment, it Is found that the bounty system lias demoralized the beet sugar industry, and if the govern ments of those respective counties had foreseen what the outcome would have been, it is not probablo that they would have entorod Into a worrying scheme which has made sugar cheaper in England than anywhere else In the world, although In England beet sugar manufacturers are permitted by the government to bustle for themselves. Mr. Lubin's panacea Is simply the re publican protective tariff carried to the extreme of wild abiurdity. FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT Of the S. A. R., W. R.

Pauper Expenses. Editor Oregon Courier: Why will the county persist in the expenditure of money for the support of tho county poor after the present cus tom. It costs our county in round numbers $230 per month. This estimate below the actual ligures for the sup port of the county poor. The expenditure of a few thousand dollars for a county farm would from a financial standpoint result In a saving of at least $150 per month or $1800 a year. Two years' saving would more than pay lor a farm and after that the taxpayers would be relieved of a part of their burdens. From a humane stand point the farm is much to be desired. Hie average care of the poor and tne welfare of the unfortunates would be better. Every taxpayer should use his nfluence and voice to have this much- needed result brought about. DON'T STOP TOBACCO. One of the arguments of the gold monometahsts is that there should be no coinage of silver except by interna1 tional agreement. After tbe 13 colonies bad achieved their independence they did not seok advice in Europe as to the form of government this vast and thinly- settled county should have. Portland Sun. Circumstances alter cases. In 1770, when the colonies declared their inde penuance of King (Jeorge, commence was, comparatively, In its infancy, and the city of Baltimore was, in a business sense, thousand of miles farther from St. Louis than, to-day, New York is from London. There were no railroads, no steamboats, no telegraphs and the price of American wheat was not fixed In Liverpool for the country had none to export. The colonies had only a surplus of Indians, torics and contliieu tul currency. The world then did not even dream of international trade as it exists to-day, with all Us advantages and disadvantages over its condition at that time. We cannot, by an act of con gress, for the free and unlimited coin age of silver at 10 to 1, or by any other similar act, rendered the United states commercially and financially indepen dent of the rest of mankind, except a t a vast sacrifice to our selves. We have bad more than enough of the hard times and can't afford the experiment. We would, in Mr. Hamlet's words, rush from the evils that we have into others that we know not of. Several times a week these days one may read in the daily papers of wages being increased In various lines and localities. Such pieces, of news were very scarce during the Harrison admin istration. Tben wage reduction was tbe rule. Wages did not go down then because Mr. Harrison was president; they are not on the rise now because the democrats have control. The great business collapse was then beginning; now normal conditions are slowly re turning. But it Is apparent, says the Welcome, that the pet policy of the re publican party did not make or main tain good times ; nor has such changes as have been made in tariff laws pre- vented the slow and natural return of better times.

Among tho irrigation plants in course of construction iu Kmimis probnbly the most cxteiiRivo is that of Mr. G. M. Munger of Eureka, Greenwood county. Ho is constructing a reservoir which will covor about 160 acres with wator. This isdono by building a dnm 3,800 foot long nnd 88 foot high at its greatest lioight This, as described by The Irri gation Fnrmor, will catch the storm waters from a large area nnd will be used primarily for tho irrigation of a COO acre orchnrd now just beginning to bear. The water will be raised by two compound duplex steam pumps, tho wa tor cylinders of which nro 13 by IS inches. Each pump has 10 inch suction and 8 inch discharge These pumps will elovate tho water to a height of 05 foot, delivering it on tho highest part of Mr. Hunger's farm. Tho estimated cost of the plant complete, including ditches for distribution of tho water, is 1 15, 000. P. D. Armour, the butcher, or Chicago who has been losing 17 cents on each steer slaughtered, has just obtained a controlling interest in $17,COO,000 worth of street railways, says the Albany Democrat.

A correspondent of tho Iowa Home- Btcud writes: I took your advice lust year with a SO acre nold of common rod clovor whioli I wanted for seed. It had boon sown on old land. I pastured until June 15 and then let it grow up. Had throe bushols of good seed per aore. Au othor port of tho eamo Hold that was cut for hay had no sood. Tho Journal referred to says: This is qnito a suggestive bit of experience. The impression is quite common among farmers that tho first crop of common rod clovor does not produce seed. This is an entire mistake. The only reason why the early blooms fail to produce soed is alack of insect fertilization. Mr. Long pastured bis clover to the 15th of June, after which tho stock was taken off. By the time tho bloom appeared there was an abundance of opportunity lor insect fertilization. It is estimated that the Standard oil trust made 150,000,000 by the recent jump in the price of petroleum. The trust can therefore send a strong lobby to Washington next winter to increase the dnty on their product. Children Cry for! Motes of Local Interest.

My whole nervous system became affected, until my physician told me I must keep up the use of tobacco for the time being, at least. I tried the so-called "Keelcy-t'iire," "No-To-Hac," and various other remedies, but without success, until I accldently learned of your "llaeo-Curo." Three weeks ago to-day I consider myself completely cured; I am In perfect health, and the horrible craving for tobacco, which everv Inveterate smukcr fully appreciates, has completely left mo.

We have many new improvements in this line: first, it is made of heavy gen uine Dongola, solid leather sole and inner sole; second, it has a leather sock lining, which no other but a high-priced boot has ; third, it has a back-stay ; fourth, as much care is taken in selecting this stock. and in making, as in our higher-priced goods; fifth, we not only warrant but we guarantee every line to be just as repre sented.
