insignificant by the farmers.

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

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.
