The city - council should take somel action relative to the removal of the old city jail. Its location and condition is a constant annoyance to the property owners in that neighborhood. Its a filthy. ramshakle old building, and is not a fit place in which to confine a mangy dog. not to mention a human being. , Men and women are placed in this prison, which for absolute rotteness will rival anything ever unearthed by the Americans in the way of Cuban prison filth. , Some . bright morning the citizens of this place wil wake up to discover the fact that there has been a fire in that end of town and that a prisoner or two have been roasted to a delightful crisp. There is sufficient room in the city hall for three good cells, and the city authorities should ft them up for service. The jail should be in town anyway, simply as a matter of convience. The present old building on the cornor of Fourth and P. street should be removed.

MRS. i MAGGIE SHEARER The people of Oregon have so often listened to the discouraging stories of men returning from the gold mines of this state, who have not been successful in their ventures that many have come to the conclusion that the gold mines of Oregon are of little value to the state This is a wrong conclusion, not borne out by facta In 1900 there were 5,723 persons over ten years of age engaged in the gold mines of Oregon. In all Oregon that year there were engaged as miners and quarrymen 6.154 persons, showing that the gold mines gave employment to 57? miners more than one half of all the miners and quarrymen employed in the state. , ' In 1900 there were 17,316 persons ten years old and over engaged in agricul ture or a little over 4.64 farmers to one gold miner in the whole state. To show the farmers how much of a market these 5.723 gold miners make for the produce of their farms the . following figures are given based .upon a table the monthly summary of commerce and finance issued August last by the U. S. department of commerce and labor wherein ta, the annual cost of living per capita in the U.S. on June 1st 1900 calculated from wholesale prices and per capita consumption. The table gives the per capita cost of bread stuffs consumed annually In the U. S. at wholesale prices at $13,289, the cost for meats $8,687. the dairy and garden stuffs consumed per capita cost $11,409. other foods cost $9,324, making the per capita cost of food consumed In a year aggregate $42.' 699. ; On the above basis the 3.723 gold miners In Oregon will pay annually $49,474 for bread stuffs at wnSolesale prices, $32,341 for meats, $42,474 for dairy and garden products, and $34,713 for other food stuffs, and mk all for pro visions at wholesalt prions $159,012 There Is inspiration in a battle ' wortn tne waging, in whichever direction the odds may lie. One thing gives a pro found interest to the fight now at its Climax in New York, and that one thing is a principle full of worth and life. We care very little wherher McClellan, Hearst or Wins is the next Mayor, of that town We care with deepest conviction about the issue embodied in the independent candidacy of William Tracers. Jerome. On the one hand Are ranged the bosses, the corrupt money power, and a" ballot framed to make the bosses kings. On the other side are ihe people; but who are they? When are they, or their in terests, consulted by the Murphys, Odells, Ryans, Harrimans, McCurdys or McCalls? Does anybody believe that one of those men will vote for Jerome? Does anybody believe that any corrupt financier in New York will vote tot him? McClellan wish ed him nominated by the Democrats. Wins wished : him : nominated by the Republicans. But who are Wins and McUellany Nobody; nobody, like you and us; nobody, like Smith Brown, .and Robinson; like everybody, except a few bosses, in their arrogance of office, and a few financiers, in their, arrogance of wealth. The insurance magnates are against : Jerome, but Mr.' Hughes, the Insurance investigator, is strongly for him. Such a division represents fairly the principles ' that are at : stake.Collier's Weekly. , - ' JUST RECEIVED FRESH GOODS CURTICE BROTHERS BLUE LABEL CATSUP MEAT CHEAP But not Cheap Mea Having purchased the Bock & Thomas shops and also the Bull market, we are in' position with the three shops, to furnish our patrons with choice meats at a . less price than if we had only one shop. It is not our intention to raise the price on meats, but it is our intention to reduce th price, and thereby hops to increase our trade. A trial order will convince you of the assertion.
