The Now York " Homestead " pulv
lishes a complete rxhiltit of. the world'
supply and demand of hops for the cur
rent season ending August SI, 1S93. The
exact shortage o( the world's supply
3.500.000 pouihI.h, which must be made
up by the consumption of old mock
There has been enough on hand for the
purpose. Their is u estimated short
age of 6,000,000 pounds in the English
snpplT. and England has yet to secure
hops to nieet the demand before the end
of the season. It is noteworthy that
while every effort is made to keep the
price of American hops below 25 rents
per pound, foreign hop have been im
ported at a cost of o'J cents in addition
to the duty, thus showing American
brewers are willing to pay fully 55 cents
lor foreign hops, while they begrudge 23
rents for American hops, which are in
finitely superior to tiie imported article,
which are mostly cheap Russian growth,
repacked in Germany and labeled as
choice liavariuu hops, especially for the
export trade. The output of 'jeer in this
country was increased by 500,000 barrels
during the first four months of the pre-
eent se:tson.
It is now known to be a fact that
there will be a new freight schedule
adopted by the Union Pacific system
east from Portland over the Pacific
division. This will go into effect on the
20th. Portlnnd sees that something
mast lie done to hold her trade with
Eastern Oregon, and has succeeded in
accomplishing the adoption of this new
schedule. It is not positively know
what reduction is to be made.
What Pendleton now want-i, savs the
Tribune, is a new freight schedule from
the east and she and Walla Walla can
get it if concerted action is taken.
There is no reason why Spokane ran
have her freL'ht delivered twentv cents
on a hundred cheaper over the Union
Pacific system than Pendleton and
Walla Walla, and the two latter cities
ought to rise np in their might and show
this company what virtue there is in
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Dallas Transcript nurses its sore
spot in the following language: " Un
ity's jortago railway bill should have
passed, as it was one of merit, inasmuch
as it was providing for an outlet of the
products of a vast section east of the
cascades. In the matter of appropria
tions nineteen-twentieth comes to the
Willamette valley ; and if our cousins
across the mountains make a big kick
becac of this discrimination, some
day, v.e webfoote-rs may not be sur
prised." TiikCiiromclk does not know
how hard a knock it will take to sur
prise "webfooters," but if losing the
Monmouth appropriation, the Willam
ette canal, and several other things dear
to the heart of those mist-benighted
denizens would jog their understanding
a little, it is possible they could be sur
prised two years from now.
The Portland Welcome looks at It this
way: "The repeal of the indebtedness
clause subjects to asseesnient nearly
$17,01)0,000 worth of property owned by
millionaires and heretofore non-assessable.
This enormous sum, even at two
per cent, will furnish 1340,000 annually.
In the past people of Multnomah county
have been robbed of this amount, now
the capitalists will have to pay for pro
tection like common people." And
what is true of Multnomah is true, pro
portionately, in every county of Oregon.
The appointment of Judge Gresham
by Cleveland is probably the first ease
on record where a president has crossed
parties in the selection of bis cabinet.
The fact will please the great majority
of the American people, though, for
they will recognize that Cleveland Is not
bound to any man or set of men, polit
ical or otherwise, and propose to be
captain of the ship in all that the word
implies.
The Olympia senatorial muddle con
tinues without any evidence of an end
short of an adjournment of the legisla
ture, which will le in another week. If
the Allen ites have the good of the coun
try at heart, as they profess, why don't
they let up on Allen and put an end to
the farce.
Dr. Charles Page ear in an article in
the Arena that the prevailing treatment
of typhoid ferer by drugs, and feeding
the patient, is like the playing of a
stream of petroleum on a burning build
ing. The patient should fast until the
crisis fa past, and, next to fasting, Ir.
Page recommends frequent cold-water
baths. The water should be about 66
degrees, and the bath given when the
temperature of the patient is from 101 to
103. Bobbing fa also an essential part
of the treatment during the bath, which
should continue fifteen or twenty min
ute. The eystem has been adopted
w ith excellent results In the hospitals
si Iltiladelphia and Baltimore.
CHOLERA'S TURK AT.
lr. Geo. F. Schrady, one of New
York's sanitary inspector, correspond
ing to the 8un Francisco Examiner,
sounds the kevnoto of warning in the
following timely article : lu attempting
to make prophecies it is safur to discuss
probabilities than to challenge fate by
positive statements. Such it the post
tion of the question as to whether or not
cholera will visit the United States dur
ing the com i nit season. When the
cloudd appear, when the barometer falls
and the wind blows for rain, we are apt
to have a storm. Such is the appear
ance of the horizon concerning cholera
to those who are on the lookout. Choi
era still exists in various parts of Europe
and Asia. In spite of the best directed
efforts of the sanitary authorities to
these countries the plague is quietly, yet
surely, maintaining its foothold and do
ing its deadly work. There is au ouii
nous virulence in the disease germ that
keeps itself alive and active during the
frosts of an exceptionally severe winter
Although it is well known that cold
weather does not kill the germ, Its per
sistent vitality in different quarters at
this season is an indication of a gather'
ing storm which students of epidemics
view with becoming alarm.
There are four main propositions to be
taken into account in reference to the
appearance and spread of cholera. Firat,
there must be the seed, the infectious
germ, the comma bacillus. Secondly,
the soil must be ready for the seed.
This comprises a numberof conditions
humidity, heat, defective drainage, tilth
and contaminated water supply.
Thirdly, we must estimate individual
susceptibility to an attack from the dis
ease, as it is well known that all exposed
persous do not suffer even during the
most virulent period of an epidemic.
And, fourthly, there is what might be
called the epidemic influence, which has
peculiarities and laws of its own, the
true significance of which is not yet en
tirely understood.
With the fresh start of cholera with
warmer weather, and its almost inevita
ble spread in new localities throughout
Europe and Asia, it will be next to im
possible to guard against an invasion of
this country through the many channels
which commerce and travel may open
for it. We assume that the germ must
be aguin imported, as it will hardly be
impossible for it to renew itself from the
few cases which occurred in New York
during the past autumn.
The only lines of safety would be in
the direction of preparing to meet it by
every means that will tend to prevent
the growth of the poison and check its
spread by making the condition of its
development as nnfavorable as possible.
This is the surest way of stamping out
the disease. It is a pity that in a na
tion so highly civilized as ours there
should be enough personal dirtiness to
make it necessary to consider it as a
public menace. But we must do so
nevertheless. All uncleanly persons
will be, when summer comes, walking
threats to their fellowmen.
But by far the most important problem,
next to general quarantine, which pre
sents Itself, in view of the danger of
cholera, is not personal cleanliness, but
municipal cleanliness. If the summer
of IS'13 brings with it an epidemic of
cholera, it will be observed after it
has ended that those cities with the
cleanest streets, the best sewerage sys
tems and the most thorough plan of
sanitary inspection were the ones to
suffer least. No expense, no labor
should be spared in the effort to keep
America's cities clean in every way.
Every city in America ought to put its
self through a "spring liousecleaning"
this year such as it never knew before.
No consideration of politics or petty
economy should have the slightest
weight. Every effort should be made to
avoid a "scare," but, better yet, every
every effort should be made to prevent
justification of a scare. The department
of street cleaning in every city of the
Union should be put on its mettle and
kept there. If these things are done
if America and Americans keep clean
and thus attain a high general standard
of health we need not fear a cholera
epidemic. But If in the face of this
seriously threatening danger, the laws
of national, municipal and individual
common sense are violated, we are
almost certain to receive a punishment
that will leave a black blot upon the
pages of American history.
So far, Oregon has furnished six vie
tiuis for the mortuary record of those
frozen to death during the winter, says
a valley exchange. But those who have
thus lost their lives were indiscreet
hunters whose love for the sport led
them np into the deep fastnesses ot
mountain forests, where unexpectedly
they have encountered blinding snow
storms and a colder atmosphere. Los
ing their way, they perished as might be
expected. At no time during the winter
lias the thermometer fell below 10 de-
drees above zero In the Willamette val
The president has issued a procla
mation convening an extra session of the
senate March 4. This action isprobably
taken at the instance or with the con
sent oi rresiuent Cleveland. Tiie pro
clamation is as follows ; The public in
teres U require that the senate should be
convened at 12 o'clock on the 4tb day of
March next to receive such communlca
tioDS as may be made by the executive.
Now therefore I, Benjamin Harrison,
president ot the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare extraordinary oc
casion requires the senate of the United
States, to convene at the capitol, in the
city of Washington, -tho 4th ot March
next, at VI o'clock noon, of which all
persons who shall at that time lie en
titled to act as members of that body are
hereby required to take notice. Given
under my hand, etc. This is the usual
course pursued at the outgoing of an ad
ministration, so as to enable tho senate
to advise and consent to the cabinet
selection by the Incoming president. It
is also customary at the same session to
send in the names of those selected for
the most important foreign posts and
the leading office at home.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, who left
New York Saturday for Pari where he
will represent this government in the
Behrlng sea controversy, said in rela
tion to tho Hawaiian question: In
speaking of the Pacific ocean and our
duty in connection with it, I still say
that I do not want to see repeated what
was perpetrated when we acquired our
independence. Though the power of
France was back of us, we did not have
the foresight cr persistency to acquire
all that belonged to us. We did not
take in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia,
Bermuda, the Windward Isles, Jamaica
and all that territory down to Yucatan.
Why should that power, with 3o.000.000
people of the same race as our W ,000,000
people, and with no greater history and
no superiority, own all those islands
from Newfoundland to Yucatan, upon
which they have spent f 4 tor every inch
of ground they now hold, and we cannot
help it? Great Britain never gives up
anything good. I am not criticising
them. 1 admire them and wish Amer
ica to follow as far as possible the same
policy, only a little more so. "Great
Britian has already placed herself in
Australia and New Zealand, and is now
approaching the Sandwich islands, that
Gibraltar of the Pacific ocean. She al
ready has one. Only a short time ago
she raised her Bag over one ot the is
lands, and at the present moment the
Hawaiian and our own government are
protesting against that occupation.
When she gets firmly established there
and completes the chain around us, in
cluding Vancouvor, Victoria and Hawaii
to Hong Kong, Now Zealand and Aus
tralia, let me ask you if we will not see
repeated in the Pacific that miserable,
despicable folly which was perpetrated
in the Atlantic, when wc had gained the
fight, and there was nothing to do but to
put the islands of the Atlantic in the bill
of sale treaty, which we so signally failed
to do? Just at the time wiien the two
great questions, tiie Nicaraguan canal
aud the Behring sea arbitration are
pending, Hawaii, like a ripe pear, drops
into our lap. Shall we not then exercise
at this time in the settlement of these
great questions that spirit of American
manhood and pluck so splendidly de
veloped when we were fighting esch
other, w ith 1,000,000 men in the field?
Now we shall see the outcome of the
power and spirit of a great people on a
great occasion. Let us move to the
front."

1 saw a curious method used the other
day to take the foul air out of a well,
save a writer in the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. The well was to be cleaned,
but the man that took the job was
afraid to go down until he bad ascer
tained the quality of the air at the bot
tom. He let down a lighted candle,
and when it descended to about six
feet of the bottom it went out suddenly
as though extinguished by a whiff of
air. That was all be wanted to know.
He was then sure that the well bad poi
sonous air in it, and took a small um
brella, tied a string to the handle and
lowered it open into the well. Having
let it go nearly to the bottom he drew it
np, carried It a few feet from the well
and upset it. He repeated this opera
tion twenty or thirty times, with all the
bystanders laughing at him, again low
ered the light, which burned clear and
bright even at the bottom. He then
condescended to explain that the gas in
the well was carbonio acid gas, which
was heavier than air, and therefore
could be brought np in an umbrella
jost as though it were so much water.
It was a simple trick, yet perfectly
effective.
This reminds Linns Hubbard of the
way he used to do It, which is more
thorough. By tying a cord to each cor
ner of a blanket and carefully lowering
it the gas may nearly all be brought up
at one load, or, better yet, by framing
the blanket to a round hoop about the
sixe of the circumference at the bottom.

The Grant county News says: Coyotes
on Grant county' southern border are
suffering for food. Jack rabbit outrun
them and escape over the crusted (now ;
rabbit remain on top while the wolves
break through and bowl. The city
of Burns, when paid a flying visit by
the New man last week was wallowing
in several inches of snow, and was dull,
from a business standpoint. City gov
ernment, however, ha aided the place
in making numerous improvements,
and when spring opens up in that sec
lion the metropolis of Henry valley bids
fair to outstrip any inland town in com
mercial importance.

says: "I contracted a cold early last

hardly recovered from it when I caught
another that hung on all summer and
left me with a hacking cough which I
thought I never would get rid of. J had
used Chamberlain's Cough liemedy
some fourteen years ago with much suo-
ceaa, and concluded to try it again
When I got through with one bottle my
cough had left me, and I have not suf
fered with a cough or cold since. I have
recommended it to others, and all seak
well of it." 50 cent bottle for sale by

A new process of free-milling gold works
is in course of construction on the Lake of
tti Wood, in the province of Ontario.
The mill and experimental adjunct
have cost $35,000. It is designed to
treat ore by the same method that na
ture does, only it will perform In 24
hours' work what nature require age
to accomplish. The partios interested
positively refuse to discuss this method
in print, pending the practical operation
of the mill, which will be commenced
in few day, but Mr. Cowle ventures
the opinion that it will revolutionize
milling and unlock the gold in the re
fractory ores of America, thus com
pletely solving the greatest problem
that ha ever engrossed the attention of
miners and the general public. The
result of practical experiment will be
awaited with deep Interest.
Joseph V. Dory, of Warsaw, 111., was
troubled with rheumatism and tried a
number of different remedies, but say
none of them seemed to do him any
good; but finally he got hold of one
that speedily cured him. Ho was much
pleased with It, and felt sure that others
similarly afflicted would Ilk to know
what the remedy was that cured him.
He states for tho benefit of the public
that it is called CliamU-rlain's Pain
Balm. For sale by Blaknley A Hough
