OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
It is sort of "Sherman's inarch to
the sea" in the Philippines now. And
all hades and Aguinaldo's satanic follow
ers cannot give it pause.
Ths per capita of gold in the United
Htatea has increased to 12.87, and the
total amount of gold to $966,396,743. It
is oselesa to talk a boat a scarcity of gold
as a presidential issue next year.

enough in the United States senate to
make a motion, bat not to get second.
Tom Watson's bump on a log would be
fitting monument to the pops.
It is estimated that oar revenue from
Cuba for the present calendar year will
reach between $12,000,000 and $15,000,

vana for January were $743,630; and
daring February were $706,909.
It is always best to wait for evidence
before passing judgment. Troublecomea
to us all, and we should extend such
sympathy as we would expect from oth
ers. Gossip distorts and magnifies oc
currences that have no foundation in
fact, and injustice is often done innocent
parties. It is better, by far, not to be
too hasty in forming conclusions. To
day it is someone else in trouble; tomor
row it may be you.
Amothkb new party born at Cincin
nati. New parties have a habit of being
born with the regularity of children in
poor man's family. While each has a
different name, those brought into ex
istence in recent years have all the symp
toms of common parentage. These
new parties always start out by father
ing all the political vargariea extant.
When they succeed in attracting any
considerable number of followers the
radical doctrines and the disciples of dis
content proceed to hatch another party,
Uita seldom picks np a newspaper or
magazine now-a-days without, npon
opening the paper, the eye falls immedi
ately npon an account of some large
manufacturing plant in some portion of
the United States haying resumed oper
ations or increased the wages of em
ployes from JO to 25 per , cent, and yet
there are people and papers who are
bowling themselves hoarse about the
distressingly hard times. Their wails
go unheeded and unnoticed, except to
point to the maliciousness of their mo
tives in misinBtructing the public mind
People are too busy to listen to their
tales of woe. We are willing to admit
that one branch of activity in this coun-
try is deucedly dull. Contributions for
another free coinage campaign next year
have almost ceased.
As cheat as were the exports of 1898
it seems likely that the American man
ufacture will send 1899 down to history
as a record-breaker in this line. The
exports of domestic manufactures are
already $23,000,000 in excess of any pre
vious given period, and while they now
amount to over $1,000,000 a day evi
dences are not lacking that they will go
much higher during the spring months.
But while this is true, oar manufactures
re supplying the home markets as never
before in the history of the country, The
import of manufactured goods daring
the last seven months decreased to $147,
200,972, a marked falling off over the
same period of last year, leaving a clear
trade balance in our favor of $35,000,000
on these goods alone. If any more at
isctory evidence of thoroughly healthy
prosperity is wanted by the 'calamity
howler he must be even more unreason
able than bis worst enemy has hereto
fore supposed..
Natural advantages for the benefit of
mankind are no more abundant any
where than in Columbia county. Our
advice to the farming fraternity is to
avail itself of the opportunities at hand.
The natural adaptability of this section
for dairying is unrivalled on the coast,
and the handsome returns for labor and
money invested in that industry would
seem to be a great temptation to our
farmers to engage in the business more
extensively and under more modern
conditions. The sdvent of the silo in
conducting successfully the dairy has
added wonders in lessening labor and
expense in the work, besides supplying
a variety of food to dairy cows, the equal
of which is yet undiscovered. The food
properties contained therein undispnt
ably supplies ascertain nutriment oc
casioned by the process of fermentation
which otherwise cannot be Una. Aside
from the qualities mentioned as a food '
Ip" uitable for dairy cattle,

Acini as a means of fattening both hogs
and cauls for slaughter. The test of
ensilage ii this county ; has thoroughly
satisfied leading dairymen that without
it the cost of maintaining tho dairy
would be increased almost one-half. The
fact that practical teats have demot
atrated the ease with which material for
ensilage, can be produced in the county
and the good results of its use, together
with natural conditions, renders this
section a superior place in which to en
gage in the Industry, The product of
the dairy commands at all seasons such
price as to enable the operator to live
independently, besides yearly increas
ing his herd aud consequent wealth,
Aguinaldo's bid for the surrender of
the Spanish, prisoners for the sum of
$7,000,000 will hardly be accepted by
Spain. For several reasons Spain will
stand out against it. She has not the
$7,000,000 to spare. She knows that
this sum is a bluff, and that she could
get the prisoners or anything else that
Aguinaldo can control for a very much
smaller amount if the actual money was
put up. She is, moreover, aware that
Aguinaldo's days as a political freebooter
are nearly ended, and that when, a few
weeks or months hence, he is a prisoner
in the American camp and all his dupes
dead or scattered, Otis and Law ton will
give the Spanish prisoners op to Spain
for nothing. And thus the great United
States will spread its good influences
and continne to give freedom and liber
ty, in spite of the fact that we read just
a few days ago the utterances of a "man"
who said : ' "By the eternals, give us
liberty or give us death," Isn't that
nproaroualy funny?
Not That Kind of Weather.
Bepresentative Tongue has been search'
ine for a Washington newspaper man to
tell him what he wants printed, so as to
stop the continual question that has
been pat to him. During the severe
storm, and when the enow was piled up
nigh on every side, every man wno met
Mr. Tongue would say, "Well, I suppose
you are enjoying tnis; tuts is Oregon
weather." Mr. Tongue says he got so
sick of that and so tired of explaining
that uregon never naa any sucn weatn
er, was not likely to have any such
weather, and did not know the meaning
of such weather, that he concluded the
best thing to do was to have a statement
made in the Washington papers that
three feet of snow and eight degrees be
low zero did not pertain to Oregon in the
least, and that if those who were insist
ing that such was the climate of Oregon
would look at the weather reports they
would see that they never showed that
kind of weather in Oregon, tie also
added that if they would remember that
Oregon was called the Webfoot state,
they might know that while they had
rains in the winter, people there did not
suffer from snow.
A Telephone for Farmer.
The time is undoubtedly coming very
rapidly when the isolation of the farmer
will be mitigated, owing to "neighbor
hood telephone lines," by means if
which they can communicate with each
other without reference to the condition
of the roads or press of work. A local
paper of an inland city in Mew York
state describes an interesting line where
the subscribers constructed the line,
furnishing the tools and doing the work
themselves. The expense for wire, in
struments, etc., was equally divided
among them, and the cost was only $14
per share. The line, of course, is free
to subscribers, but others can make use
of it by the payment of a small fee. At
Dresent there are ten subscribers to the
line. Scientific American.

This remedy is intended especially for
couens, colas, croup, whooping cough
and influenza. It has become famous
for its cures of these diseases, over a
large port of the civilized world. The
most flattering testimonials have been
received, giving account of its good
works ; of the aggravating and persist

that have yielded promptly to its sooth

of croup it has cared, often saving the
life of the child. The extensive use of
it for whooping cough has shown that it

Wonders of a Rat's Tail.
A rat's tail is a wonderful thing. The
great naturalist, Cuvier, says that there
are more muscles in this curious append
age than are to be found in that part of
the human anatomy which is most ad
mired for its ingenious structure name
ly, the hand. ' To the rat, in fact, its tail
serves as a sort of hand, by means of
which the animal is enabled to crawl
along narrow ledges or other difficult
passnges, using it to balance with or gain
a hold. It is prehensile, like the tails of
some monkeys. By means of it the lit
tle beast can jump np heights otherwise
inaccessable, employing it as projec
tive spring.

"You people out here don't realise the

one day this week..

one most easily within the reach of the
poor man. When these great farms,
whose acres are numbered bv the hun
dreds, shall have been replaced by small
tracts that are farmed from the center
to the circumference; when every tilla

the largest crops that skilled and sys
tematic labor will produce; then you
will see the truth of my criticirm, and
wonder why in the early days of 1899

DR. BTBRIDE WAS THERE.
Aa
Early Exploit of lard Charles
Berearord In Hawaii.
New York Sua.
In 1864. during our civil war. when
the attitude of the British peerage and
part ol tne ttntisn people toward tne
United States government was not ex
actly what it is these happier days, one
of her majesty's man-of-war happened
to be at Honolulu. Hawaii at the time
was regarded by many British statesmen
as a desirable acquisition for the crown.
The preponderance of American inter
ests there was distasteful to some of the
spirited youth aboard the Clio, or the
rjutle we are not quite sure wnicnsnip
it was. Two cadets in the British naval
service, both of them sons of peers, went
ashore on a lark one night and illus
trated their contempt for the American
government by tearing down the coat-of-arms
which adorned the gateway of the
United states legation, and carrying of
the purloined shield to their snip.
Mr. Lincoln's minister to Hawaii was
Dr. James McBride, of Oregon. He as
certained from natives that the authors
of the outrage were young British officers.
Ho procured a search warrant, recov
ered the venerated emblem, and discov
ered the names of its ravishers. The
captain of the British man-of-war and
the British minister at Honolulu both
apologized.
That was not enough for Dr. McBride.
He insisted that the two sons of peers
who took down the coat-of arms should
publicly restore it to its place with their
own hands. The captain and the British
minister protested against this require
ment. It was too humiliating to the
service, too disgraceful to the young
noblemen concerned. Dr. McBride was
inflexible, and after considerable diplo
matic correspondence and some delay he
had his way.
The incident was subsequently re
ported to Secretary Seward, who made
an international affair of it. The Eng
lish government formally apoligized. If
our recollection is right, the two frisky
sons of peers were suspended or tempor
arily dismissed trom tne Jtsritisn naval
service.
What wonders time works! Thirty
five years ago Lord Charles Beresfurd
was nailing up the American emblem in
a remote island of the Pacific, now for
ever American territory. Today his
warmest desire is io.- tne advance oi tne
American flag across the Pacific, side by
warmest desire is fo.' the advance of the
side with the banner to whicn his tirst
allegiance is due.
LOGGERS ARE HAPPY.

Logger are happy these day, and

the freshet in January have found ready
sale, at Irom 16 to ib.du per low leet,
and the market calls for more. The
prospect of the logging business have
not often so Driimi as at vresenb lur a
long time, and most of the loggers, hav
ing supplied themselves with engines to
take the place of bull teams, are better
prepared for doing business than ever
before ; and, as their work can be done
cheaper with engines than with bulls,
they see a better prospect for making
something.
The failure of the bill introduced in
the last legislature, providing for an of
ficial scaler of logs, is regretted by most
of the loggers. They say that, while
some of the sawmill men deal fairly with
them, there are other who do not give
them a fair shake. A mill man who
wa spoken to on this subject said that
the appointment of an official scaler of
logs would have done the logger no
ood, and would nave only Deen an ad
itional exrense to them. It is no trick
to measure or scale a raft of logs, and
ascertain how many feetof lumber there
is in it. The trouble is to judge accur
ately of the quality of logs, and make
the proper allowance fordefects,as knots,
punky places, pitch rings, crooked sticks,
and other defects to be found in the logs
composing a raft; and it is seldom that
two men will agree in estimating these
