The great strike, which ended last week in London, is the greatest ever known in that city's history. It started among the dockmen, who are a shiftless set of men employed from day to day by the great dock com panies. They demanded an advance of wages, which was refused, and they struck. Nothing, perhaps, would have come of it and they would undoubtedly have returned to work had not John Burns, the socialist, got hold of them. They were organized and marched to Hyde Park, and the demonstration attracted notice. Soon the work of the leader became apparent. Other organizations joined the strike. The wharfingers went out, the ironworkers followed, and at one time it looked like an epidemic. Hundreds of ves sels lay at the docks unable to unload, perishable freight was destroyed by the thousand pounds' worth and Lon don, with its teeming inhabitants, was threatened with a famine. Cardi nal Manning undertook to act as me diator, and ifc was largely through his influence that the strike was settled. The dock companies offered to give the asked advance on the first of the year, but the strikers refused and asked it to begiu Octobei 1st. The present settlement was on a compromise basis and November 4th is the time set for the demanded new wages. Thousands ef pounds sterling have been sent to aid the cause and the strike has been made the subject for political move ments. THE COTTOX SEED. Was there ever, says the Banker's Monthly, sueh a history as that of the" cotton seed? For seventy years des pised, as a- nuisance, and buried or dumped as a garbage, then discovered to be the very food for which the soil was hungering, and reluctanty ad mitted to the rank of utilities, shortly afterward found to be to be nutnous food for beasts as well as for soil, and thereupon treated with something like respect. Ouce admitted to the circle of farm industries it was found to hold thirty-five gallons of pure cil to the ton, worth in its crude state $14 to th ton, o$ 10,000,000 for the whole crop of seed. But then a system was devised for refining the oil up to a value of $1 a gallon, and the frugal Italians placed a cask of it at the root of every olive tree and then defied the Borean breath of the Alps. And then experience showed that the ton of cotton seed was a better fertilizer and a better stock food when robbed of its thirty-five gallons of oil than before, that the hulls "of the seeds made the best of fuel for feeding the o.l mill en gines, that the ashes of the hulls seoop ed from the engine's draught had the highest commercial value as potash, and that the "refuse" of the whole made the best and purest soap stock, to carry to the toilet the perfumes of Lubin or Colgate. In an article about "the country press," the San Francisco Alta, of the J5th, has the following paragraph: "The longest suffering man on earth is the country journalist, and he deserves it the least. There is not a commu nity that does not get a , hundred dol larsin benefit from a good country paper to one dollar that it gets out of the community. The rural paper is the free horse, ridden till its withers are wrung, and then exchanged for a fresh steed that must soon or late wince for the same reason. If it be possible to devise a system by which the coun try press can be enfranchised "and emancipated, its resulting indepen dence will be a most potent factor in the progress of the state. It is a great factor now, but it is because of self- sacrifice and unrequited public spirit on the part ot the men who conduct it." A law suit in Iowa over five calves, worth $45- has already cost $30,000. Ifc was begun in 1874. It has been tried eleven times and been before the Eiipreme court four times and it is said? is no nearer ended than in the be. ginning. . ,. A POLITICAL MONTR. October will be the political month of the present year. During Us course the most important eastern states will hold their general elections, and the new states will choose their first array of officials. The political statisticians and proph ets of the country will watch closely the elections in New York, Virginia, Ohio and the new states. While the national administration is hardly long enough in office yet to be judged by the people, something of its popularity will doubtless be noticed especially in the new commonwealths, where clear republican majorities are expected. The New York election will furnish new food for speculation as to the relations of Cleveland and HilL Tn Virginia the astute Mahone is on trial as to the success of his sturdy effort to break the solid south. There is a good deal of politics depending upon the result of these October elections. One of the most striking sugges tions concerning the proposed world's fair for 1892 is to have fleet sail from Spain, visit San Salvador, then New York; then have the exhibition opened by the baby king of Spain. Queen Isabella pawned her jewels that Columbus might fit out an expe dition. While owing to his tender years, it is not expected that the king of Spain will be present,, it is still easy within the reach of electrical science to arrange a circuit in connection with ths Atlantic cable, that without leav ing tlie palace the infant successor of Ferdinand and Isabella could set in motion the machineiy and bring light to myriad of electric lamps which will illuminate the assembled wonders of the world. .Nothing could more strikingly illustrate the progress made since the days when it was thought the earth was flat. In Salem on last Saturday a couple of fellows were arrested for com mitting a robbery in a dry goods store the night previous, lhe manner in which a clue was obtained by the po lice was that one of the burglars wore a pair of clean socks. One would infer from this that it is seldom clean socks are worn in the capital city. The total shipments of boots and shoes from Boston to points outside New England since January 1, 1889, foot up 2,134,530 cases, against 2, 088,352 for the corresponding period lastyear. As compared with 1886 the gain is over 310,000 cases. No bad index of the growth of the indus try. LOCAL AND GENERAL. New sheet music and books at J. Win. Will's.

Worthy Lecturer of the State Grange John Simpson, has organized sufficient number of granges in Washington to warrant the organiza tion of a state grange, thus removing Washington from the jurisdiction of Oregon, and the state grange organi- j iition was perfected at Lauamas, in that state, on the K)th inst. A valuable historical paper is to be published in the Overland Monthly for October. It is an account of the famous descent on the Cascade settle ment, by the Yakimas and Klikitats in 1856. This fight was the first in which General Sheridan, then a newly commissioned second lieutenant, was engaged. The paper is a lull and ac curate narrative of the three days' fight, told on the r.uthority of two sur vivors, D. F. Bradford and L. W. Coe. Illustrated from Mr. - (Joes sketches and from photographs. It is said thai, the unexpected suc cess of the Tillamook Headlight since it passed into new hands has been a source of euvy for half the.. editors of that region: A Year or so ago the paper was on the verge of bankruptcy, and could have been bought for eight or nine dollars. Since then it ha sprung into the thousands, Mid its pro prietors have netted a small fortune. All this money came not from sub scriptions, not trom tne advertising patronage of the county but from timber land notices. During the year a craze for the acquirement of such lands ha run through the northwest, and in Tillamook county hundreds of claims have been taken. The notices are printed for ten weeks, and the charge is ten dollars. The Headlight frequently carried 150 to 200 of these advertisements, which meant a weekly income of $150 to $200. The regular revenue about paid expenses,' so all this was clear money. Work on the eastward extension of the Oregon Pacific railroad is now be ing pushed vigorously forward, says an Albany ex. Tracklayers, and graders are being sent to the front. Wm. M. Hoag was in the city yesterday ar ranging for tho details of the work. M.

THE BAY CITY ENDANGERED. FIERCE FIRES RAGING IN THE TIMBER ALOKO THE COAST RELIEF ASKED FOR. . About 4:30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a telegram was received in Corvallis ever the Oregon Pacific line stating that forest fires were raging ia the timber around'Ya qninaCity and that the town was en dangered; it also aeked for aid.in the shape of fire apparatus Albanys wa appealed to also. In a very short time a steam fire en gine and some hose with a fHW firemen were placed aboard a special train and in fifteen minutes were in Corvallis where more hose, that had been taken to the depot, with more firemen, was taken on, and away the train flew. Whenever the straight track was reached the speed was nearly a mile a minute. At Harris the train, bearing steamer passengers and fruit for the valley, was pasaed. After a run of 2 hours and 10 . minutes (including 6 stops which took 40 minutes) the threatened city was reached, being 72 miles' from here. By this time the flames whieh had spread over hundreds of acres had died down on account of their being no breeze, and the services of the fire appara tus were not needed. The fire burned all around the hay, destroying a couple of China houses a half mile this side of Ya quina City, with other nut-buildings, amounting iu value to abut $230. It also burned the pteam saw mill owned by Henry Byerly, situated in Alexandria. The ma chinery, planer and several thousand feet of lumber, were destroyed. The loss was about S5.000. At Newport the flames had crept down close to the town and destroyed two small residences on Newton Thompson's place valued at $250 each. The new Catho lic church and the school house situated in the suburbs were saved. The firemen were cheered on their arrival, and were sumptu ously cared far free of charge at the Ya quina hotel, accommodations having been provided for by Manager Hoag. The next morning they returned to the valley. All along the line of the raihoad fires are ra?ins ij the forests and evidently tho ! smoke which now overhangs this city comes from them. The Yaqci.na Water Works. The Oregon Pacific company has about com pleted a large reaorvfir in the canyon north of the warehonse at Yaquina and 13G feet above the level of the dock. They will lay a six inch iron main from the resorvoir to their shops, warehouses, etc., giving the place a first class water worKs plant, tiy anA hoge gn eose provided for lire 'protection. A large amount of iron water pipe was brought up this tup fty the v ni' amette Valley. An inexhaustable spring above the resorvoir will give an ample sup ply of water. Republican.
