I , B It it will lht there nre in tlie Ute of Kansas twtinty well built towns con taining no inhabitants, and that Sara toga, in that state, now absolutely un inhabited, ha, among other buildings, f 30,000 opera-house. "I d tbe heaviest advertising in dull limes," say John Wanamaker, in writ ing on that subject. "Then it is when people lood keenly for bargains, and Bra anxious to know how much things cost, ud when they cun save money, I advertise particular things, give my prices, and take a much pains with tli j announcement as I do with my stock. One big dinner won't keep up the reputation of the house but steady, rood cooking does it, I naver permit interest in my announcement to lag, and never miss an issue in my chosen publications. Advertising has made my store one of the largest 10 the country. It is demonstrated beyond doubt that the catfish have almost destroyed the sturgeon in the Columbia river and tributaries Only a few years ago stur geon in large numbers and of very large sise were caught and placed on the market, but now only small ones are marketed and them only in limited numbers. It is said that in the lakes of Sativiee and other islands where the principal propagation has taken place in the past the catfish have practically driven tbe sturgeon out by eating up or destroying the substance upon which they formerly fed. This the little scrawny mud cats have destroyed what at one time promised to be one of the leading industries of the lower Columbia. Texas, that renegade state which has for years borne the proud distinc tion of being the dumping ground of tbe United States for criminals, has at last merged from the realm of ques tionable characters and declared that whatever else of a degraded nature shall find encouragement on her soil, the prizefight is barred. There is hope for Texas yet But in the face of the Texas legislature refusing to allow the Corbet Fitzsimmnns fight to take place, "Gentleman Jim" now declares he will join a tribv of Indians in Indian terri tory that his brutal mill may take place as an Indian fight and under the pro tection of the natives. It is quite natural, however, that a prizefighter should do this, since if any difference they are several degrees below the na tive in point of civilization. It will be seen by the following from the Philadelphia Bulletin that Oregon fruit is attracting attention in the east ern markets: "It is a little surprising that the Oregon fruit growers have not made a greater effort heretofore to ex ploit their fruit product. It is not like them to let it masquerade as Califor nia fruit. But there need be no great rivalry between the two states, for their products are not the same, as a rule. California is the home of the citruH fruits, and Oregou of (he hardier var ieties. California cannot grow apples to tqual the Oregon product, and, of course, Oregon cannot grow oranges. It is claimed, too, that of the fruits which they produce in common, the Oregon varieties are tbe finer and bet ter flavored. At all events, it is always best to sell a thing on its merits, and if the Oregon fruit is all thiit is claimed for it, Oregon should have the credit for producing it." Till Mist baa for a long time con tended that property belonging to churches, except the chuich edifice itself, sectarian schools and private hospitals should bear their just pro portion of taxation. The assessor of Multnomah county has taken the in itial step in this direction and has in eluded all such property, except the actual church edifice, in the assess ment roll, and taxes will be collected thereon unless the supreme court should decide otherwise. Tbe statute touching upon this matter is very plain, and in Tub Mist's opinion these institutions will be compelled to pay. The amount of property belonging to churches, hospitals and sectarian schools which are used tor private or speculative purposes in Multnomah county aUmtveaches an aggregate of f 1,000,000 which would yield a revenue to the county of $30,000. Some of the best business property in Portland be longs to tbe churches, from which they receive a large yearly rental, yet here toiore, contrary to law, they have not borne one cent of the burdeu of taia tion. Portland is not the only place to the state where this class of property hts bereVrfore been exempt to the det riment of other property, and Assessor ureenieat s stand m tne premises is commendable. The city council is about to take a step in the right direction. It is nego tiating for the resurvey of the St. Hel ens townsite, or at least that part of it bordering on the water front. This has been a standing necessity for a long time, for want of which improve ments have perhaps been retarded. Heretofore it has been next to impos sible to exactly locate boundaries to lots and blocks in this city, and in consequence sales of real estate have been prevented many times. The re survey of the city, however, is not suf ficient to guarantee a substantial growth. There is another and perhaps more important thing necessary to in sure prosperity, and that is for pro perty to assume prices that will make it saleable. A town cannot be built up with prices so high that no one can afford to buy. It must be small before it can be large, and prices should fol low growth instead of growth following prices. "Latge acorns from small trees grow," but large prices from small towns never, never do. There never was a townsite owner but what could well afford to give away every alternate lot and make a profit by so doing. It is very hard to convince property own ers of this fact, but it is none the less a matter of history. In any event the average lot in a town of this size is not worth more and will not readily sell for more than $25 and uver will, with in' creasing price with increasing growth. , WOOL TARIFF FOR REVENUE. It hardly sema possible that the president can avoid the subject of rev enue deficiency in his next message to congress. The revenues have been loss than the expeudftures of the gov ernment by about $ 200,000,01)0 from March, 1893, until the present time, The Wilson-Gorman tnrittontructed by men pledged to legislation fur 'rev nue only," has been, and is likely to be, unproductive of revenue sufficient to meet what in the cant of democratic platforms was called "the expenses of government honestly administered." hveo the scaling of the peusion list has failed to make revenues and ex oetises coincide. We have been bor rowers and borrowers whith a humility that savors of bcirgary from Europe every since Mr. Cleveland's policy of tariff fur revonue only was assayed. Something will have to bedone.aud that quickly, by the next Congress. We cannot forever bo borrowers, ev- enue sufficient 10 the needs of the gov ernment must be raised. A tariff on wool seems to be one of the feasible remedies for our deficiency. The revenu. e derived from wool dur ing the operation of the McKinlev bill stood thus: 1S90 $S.0,!W isoi .va.7 isr T,7M.OSS 118 .". ' 8.H7.&W And this gain to the national reven ues was accompanied by such a devel opment of American woolen manufac tures and by such competition among American manufacturers for the con trol of the market as to reduce greatly the prices of the purchaser at retail. Indeed during the operation of the McKinley bill the price of carpets made and sold in the United States became for the first time in commer cial history, lower than those of like quality made and sold in Europe. The WilsouUorman Dili nascnangeo all this. It has dangerously depleted the revenue. It has destroyed the pur chasing power of thousands who once were engaged profitably in the growth or manufacture of American wool. But while doing away with protection to American wool growers the demo cralic tariff bill was not neglectful of the interests of the rice growers. Eighty-three per cent of protection was given to them. The McKinley wool duties averaged less than 41 per cent. Cotton manufactures are pro tected bv tariffs ranging between 36 and 46 percent. Wool is denied any protection. The equities of legislation and the interests of tbe people demand a re storation of the wool duties. Tbe in terests demand it as a means of raising revenue and of rehabilitating the pur chasing power of a large body of citi zens; the equities demand it as a re moval of the nnjust discrimination be tween rice and wool. Inter-Ocean. Judging from the recent comments in the eastern press, the duke of Marl borough has just engaged to marry $15,000,000 together with a daughter of the Vanderbilt famil. If the pres ent rage for marrying European noble men goes on among American girls it will soon be necessary for the United States government to offer titles to its young men to prevent the constant drain on the girl reserve. It is not surprising to see with what degree of confidence the Cubans are pressing their cause. They have an old object lesson before them from the United States of more than a century ago a lesson that might well be pat terned after by any oppressed country in search of freedom. Whes people can buy on credit they buy more than they would if they had cash to pay at the lime of pur chase. They seldom keep run of the amount purchased and generally go iu debt much more than tbe v expected or intended, and find when called up on for a settlement that the bill is often two or three times more than they anticipated. WHY GRAIN IS CHEAP. Tacoma Merchants Say Exporters are Bearing the Market. The fact that little grain is now moving though the wheat season is fairly open, has led to an investigation being made to deter mine tbe reason, says tbe Tacoma Ledger. From the evidence gathered it would seem that considerable of tbe blame attaches to tbe local exjiorters who are bearing the market for the reason that they purchased a number of charters at high rates when charters were bich some weeks ago, and are now seeking to save themselves from loss, or rather to make the usual profit by paying only low prices until their charters are out of the way. The same condition of affairs exist in Portland. At San FrancIsco,1jowever, charters have dropped greatly. When PortlanJ and Ta coma exporters purchased cbaarters at 36 and 37 shillings, San Francisco exporters are now getting them for 24 and 25 shillings. This, it is estimated by grain men, gives Ban Francisco tbe advantage in the pur chase of grain. One grain man said to a Ledger reporter recently that Washington farmers can sbip to San Fiancisco now and obtain, after deducting freight charges, 6 cents more a bnsbel for their wheat than at Tacoma and Portland. San Francisco quo tations are 56 cents a bushel and Tacoma aud Portland quotations are 43Ji and 44 cents. "In other words," said the gentle man speaking, "Tacoma and Portland ex porters are endeavoring to make tbe farm ers sustain the loss they should bear them selves, a loss resulting from their own bad judgment in making charters when the market was at thefaighest. Tbey are offering these low prices thinking the farmers will take thorn, but in this the exporters, in my mind, are using poor judgment. The re sult of their arbitrary action will simply be to force grain that would otherwise be shipped to Tacoma and Portland to Ban Francisco. Bucb action as theirs does more than anything else to injure the port. To my mind it cannot be too severely censured. Where the Tacoma and Portland exporters are offering 32 and 34 cents a bushel tbey could and should pay 60 cents." As a result of the low prices prevailing farmers all over the state are holding their grain for a higher price. The disposition generally is to bold. It is reported that nearly all tbe grain in warehouses in East ern Washington is to be held, and that money at tbe rate of 20 cents a bcifhel is be ing borrowed on it. If sales are. made at prevailing prices the merchants will make j nothing, hence they, with the banks, are assisting the farmers to bold CI ltd' IT COVRT OOCKKT. LAW. Astoria Columbia Kiver R. R.

It is a sluggish or uiseaaeu liver mat, impairs uigmuuu and causes conntipation, when tho waste that should be carried off remains in the body and poisons the whole system. That dull, heavy feeling is due to a torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are all liver diseases. Keep the liver active by an occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg ulator and you'll get rid of these trou bles, and give tone to the whole sys tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver Regulator is betteb than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. Every package haa tbe Red Z -itamp on tbe wrapper. J. II.
