"Ths United States," says the Brad
ford, England, Observer, "are witness
ing the dawn of a prosperous period
things are likely to 'hum' out there
through the winter, and probably for
a year or two to oome. It never rains
but it pours, and Uncle Sam is enjoy
ing a remarkable combination of fav
orable circumstances. The tariff has
been passed, removing the weight of
uncertainty which baa checked all in
dustry for to many months, and offer
ing a big temporary subsidy to the
domestic manufacturer. The stimu
lus of the gold discoveries in Yukon
Will first be felt in ths states, and the
fillip promises to be a sharp one. To
crown all, the agricultural ideal of
America hat oace more been reached
la shape of 'dollar wheat,' and tbe
market it still tending upward."
According to the mayor's message,
in Donaea indented oess of the city
lacks lest than $3,000 of being a round
five million dollars. The floating in
debtedness is $356,586, an increase for
the year 1897 of J182.692. The excess
of expenditures over receipts amount
ed to $182,562, an increase in such ex
cess over tbe preceding year of 135,000.
The two-mill tax rebate, amounting to
$48,000, should be offset against this,
together with some unexplained "ex
osa oi interest" on oonda and war
rants ; yet it is easily seen that unless
the taxes can be more promptly and
closely collected, the city is running
behind at a rapid rate. The delinquent
taxes tor the pal five years amount
to $314,000, and probably most of this
will never be collected. ' And yet the
xsunoyer -pnsn" wants more police-
uieu, ana politicians "don't care a
d " for expenses 1 Sunday Welcome.
TBS report of the statistican of the
state of Oregon for the current year,
according to tbe (Stale Journal, will
snow it to have been the most prosper
ous in tue History of the common
wealth. With 96,000 square miles of
territory, Oregon has at the present
time less than 400,000 inhabitants. As
thickly settled as England, it would
gire sustenance to over 30,000,000 peo
ple. It has this year produced 40,000,-
wu ousbets of wheat which brought
an average of 75 cents a bushel an
aggregate of $30,000,000 for one crop
alone. Its fruit, lumber, livestock, fish,
and mineral products will amount to
Bt least $50,000,000 more, making a
grand total of $80,000,000 for one
year's yield, or an average of $200 for
every man, woman, and child within
ber borders.
Newspapers of this state are having
much to say at present about the
anion of free-silver forces in the next
campaign. Why trouble so greatly
over such a proposition? Has not the
republican party had the combined
force of the free-silver element to fight
in this state for four years, and has it
not whipped it opt completely every
ituior woere or wnen was there
stronger union of forces arrayed
against me republican party than in
the November campaign of 1896, and
when were the opposition forces more
completely whipped out? True, to be
tore, many democrats voted against
the free-silver proposition, but tbe op
position was solid, and a union of
forces next spring could develop no
greater strength. Tbe republican party
iu vnia siats may rest assured tnat in
us ucjli. campaign it. win nave no
stronger opposition to meet than was
tue case in 1S96.
A Venture i0f the Modern Farm
Which is Indispensable.
H. J, Waters dean and director of ths
Airrtmilioral OoMfpp, In connection with
the State Univsi-nity.of Missouri, furnished
the following directions for building a silo,
which Is becoming an important adjunct to
every model farm nowadays:
A silo may be oonatructedot wood, stone,
brick, or steel. Wbatover ths material
nsed, iu leading features should be as fol
lows: I. It should bs as nearly airtight as pos
sible. 2. The Insidesurface should lie as smooth
as possible, to allow the silage to settle
easily sad uniformly, without leaving air
pockets under tin projections, as would bs
the case with rough walls.
3. It should b of such form as to expose
the smallest possible wall surface in propor
tion to Its capacity. Silage rarely rots ex
cept ia tao corners sad alotif the walls. ' A
square pit is preferable to a rectangular
one; for xattpla, a rectangular silo 16x4.
and 122 feet deep, bas 2S16 square feet ot
wall surface exposed to the silage. A square
pit 32x32 and 22 feet deep, holds sue-third
more silage aad exposes ths same wall
area. A roand or cylindrical form is better
than either of the above, Inasmuch as ths
wall surface is still further reduced in pro
portion to iu storage capsoity, and all cor
ners are dispensed with. For example, s
cylindrical silo 37 feet in diameter and 22
feet deep exposes tbs sams wall surface ss
either ot the above described, and. holds
mors than two-thirds more silage than the
rectangular one. All corners having been
done away with, there will be less loss from
rotting. Bound silos, in tbe average case,
may be constructed much more cheaply
than ths square or rectangular ones, since
the lining will serve as a hoop to prevent
spreading, and heavy studdings, sills, and
plates, may be dispensed with. In case it
is desirable to convert one of tbe bays of
the farm into a silo, a sqnare or rectangular
form mar be found more economical. I
4. Its greatest dimension should be its
depth. Bilage rarely keeps well in a pit less
than 20 feet deep, unless it is heavily
weighted with stones or seme such material,
Artificial weighting is expensive.
S. Under no circumstances put more
than 5 or 6 feet of the silo ander ground. If
it is built all aboye ground, except tbe toon
dation, it will answer quite as well and be
cheaper. The disadvantage of haviug to
laise the silage out of a deep pit by hand as
it is required for feeding is so great as to
render an underground silo a nuisance.
The fodder may be easily and cheaply ele
vated to any height, as the silo is filled by
means of a carrier attached to the cutter.
TO BUILD A SQUARE SILO.
The foundation wall should be of stone,
laid in good lime mortar, below f reeling,
and not less than 18 inches thick. Tbe sills
should be of 2x10 planks thoroughly spiked
together, and securely anchored to the foun
dation, and laid in mortar. The studding
should be of 2x12, placed not over 16 inches
apart. By having the sills 2 inches narrower
than the studding, sn air space on the out
side is left for ventilation, which will great
ly retard tbe rotting ot the walls and sills.
The plates rest on top of the studding,
and are of the same material and dimen
sions as ths sills.
Ths lining should bs of two layers of good
boards, white pine preferred, unless too ex
pensive; in that case nse yellow pine. The
boards should be of uniform thickness, all
joints broken, and slayer of tarred paper
placed between, tbe linings. Faint both
layers of boards (on one side only) with
bot coal tar, b6iled enough to be sticky
after cooling. Place the tarred sides face
to face, with the tarred paper between. The
silo aeed not be sided, if built inside of a
warm barn. If oat doors or iu an open
barn, box with any suitable material, with
a layer of tarred paper next to the studding.
The space between tbe lining and the siding
should not be filled, and openings should
be left at the top and bottom to allow a
free movement of air between these walls.
The doors for emptying tbe silo should be
made at convenient distances, not less tbaa
3 feet wide by 4 feet high. When 6 lling tbe
silo, these openings should be closed by in
serting two thicknesses c-f boards, cut to fit
closely, with tarred paper between and
tarred paper over tbe ends.

HUMOROUS AND OTHERWISE.
Melted cheese is culled "Welch rab
bi it" in the same sense of popular
numor tnat designates bullfrogs as
"Dutch nightingales," pork and beans
as "Boston woodcock," and codfish as
a "Cape Cod turkey." " .
A Kansas man is endeavoring to
hasten the process of evolutiou by
promoting tne production of four-leg
ged chickens. Now that dnrk meat
is the fashionable choice, such a com
modity would certainly meet the de
mands of the market bntter than the
variety which Noah look into the ark
with him.

An exchange says that Noah was
the first man to advertise. He adver
tised the flood and it came through
all right. Tbe fellows who laughed at
the advertisement got drowned, and it
served them right. Ever since Noah's
time the advertiser bas been prosper
ing, while tbe. other fellow is being
swallowed up by a flood of disaster.
The man who puts a two-line local
in his home paper and thinks he will
build up a big trade and imagines the
printer is getting rich off the profits,
should bear in mind that the last page
of Munsey'a Magazine has been sold
for one year to four advertisers, each
uf whom occupies a quarter of a page
aud pays $6000 each, a total of $21,000
for the page.
S0K PROSPERITY ITEMS.
IT is a source of gratification, in
deed, to notice with what vigor and
determination the republicans through
out this state are reiterating their fidel
ity to tbe St. Louis platform, and their
determination to stand by tbe admin
istration.. It is significant of the fact
that republicans are thoroughly pleased
with the legislation already enacted
under lepublican rule, and their faitb
in tbe gold standard of money. This
is naught but the proper course. The
party lines are to be again drawn on
the money question, and the republi
can ps.rty is as determined as ever to
bav .be issue clearly cut. That party
. -hi Egbt tne combined elements of
fiat money in the Juno campaign, in
all probability, and it is not untimely
at all that their- intontion be made
known in advance in regard to this
matter. In every precinct in our state
republicans should call meetings and
adopt resolutions to the effect that tbe
policy of the republican party as out
lined in the St. Louis convention is the
policy of the precinct electors, and
tbeti (he slate will be doubly assured
of their satisfaction. No haU-way
jxilicy should bo listened to for a
J!ili!iH.'!)t.
BOUND SILOS. '
In round sues, for tbe 2x10 sills aad
plates and 2x12 studding nsed ia tbe sqnare
silo may be substituted 2x4 sills, plates,
and studding, and the anchor bolts may be
dispensed with entirely. In this form of
silo tbe sills, pistes, and studding have no
work to do beyond supporting the struc
ture. The lining acts as a hoop and sus
tains all the outward pressure of the silage,
and prevents the sills from, bulging or
spreading.
In a round silo the sill is a single thick
ness of 2x4 stuff 3 or 4 feet long, cut on the
are of the silo circle, bedded in mortar, and
tbe sections toe-nailed together. Tbe plate
is made io ths sams manner and nailed to
the top of -the studding. Tbe studding
should be 2x4 stuff placed 1 foot apart and
toe-nailed to tbe sill. If the silo is to be 30
feet deep, instead of paying a high price for
extra long timbers, use two 16-foot studs
lapped and nailed together. The lining is
made of good fencing boards, split in two
making them one-half inch thick by 6 inches
wide, tarred, and laid with tarred faces to
gether, with tarred paper between tbe same.
as in tbe case of the square silo. Special
pains should be taken to break all joints In
both directions. A Una of doors or open
ings from bottom to top. one abora tbe
other, 3 feet wide and 4 feet high, at inter
vals of about 4 feet, should be provided.
These may be closed with pieces of boards
made to fit, or with swing doors. Tbs stud
ing on each side ot tbe doors should be
doubled. The roof may be conical or gabled
ss preferred. A gable roof Is much easier
to construct, and very much cheaper than
a conical one.
Two years sgo we constructed a 115-ton
silo of this form on the Missouri Agricul
tural College farm, and used sheet steel for
siding, painted Inside and out. This was
cheaper in cost of material and in the labor
of putting it on than tbe drop siding, and
really cheaper than weather-boarding or
clapboards. The ornlnary siding used for
a round silo should be what is known as
German-cut or drop siding. Tbe ordinary
weatber-board or clapboard will not answer,
since It cannot be beat into a true circle
without splitting badly.

These items are taken from theCathlamet
Gazette, and indicate that business in tbe
logging industry on the other side of tbe
river has received a wonderful amount of
encouragement within the last year: .
"C. C. Clark will put In 6,000,000 feet of
logs this year for the Seaside Lumber Co.,
of Seaside, Oregon."
"J. F. Smith will furnish 25.000 feet of
logs per day this year to the Wallace &
Kleeb mill at South Bead."
"A. C. Mowery, of Coal creek, is running
his camp at full blast, putting ia piling and
logs. Mr. Mower j baa sneured some good
piling contracts and will operate his camp
the balance of the winter."
8. Benson, of Oak Point, was in town on
Tuesday, and spent tbe day pleasantly
with friends, lie has about 30 men at
work in bis camp and expects to increase
ms crew to 4U in another week."
"Hollis Alsrer has sold Mm CnWeeman
logs for $5 per thousand to the North Pa-
cine mill. Mr. Alger is making prepara
tion to open his camp much earlier this
spring than nmal, and possibly increase his
crew. Mr. Alger is one of the moat prac-
ucsi ana successiui men in tne DUSiness.
"The recent rise in the price of logs, and
the prospect for still better prices, caused
the loggers of Gray's Harbor to raise the
wages of their employes 25' cents per nay,
says the Aberdeen paper. Tbe prospect
for better prices for logs is encouraging, as
the prices paid tbe past few years has barely
been sufficient to cover the cost of getting
