the North American Rev e reports him j
as saying at that time that he recjgon.ized j
that he was at his apex of moral author-1

could not stay there and could not hope to
go higher. Wnatever he should attempt
to do thereafter to solve the problems
that confronted him would, he was cer

him less popular at the end of his term
than at the beginning. A few months

There will be a famine in tan bark at
the two Albany tanneries this year, as
the result of the big Santiam forest fire,
which swept away all the tan bark gath
ered in that part of the county the past
year. The tanneries are getting their
shipments from California.
It is the same cry all the way along the
ine. No coal, and with the impossibility
of getting passenger trains through, there
seems little probability of a change h
present conditions in the irnediate fu
ture. However, we are too close to tall
timber to permit of any actual suffering,
but it may be mighty inconvenient before
h e winter is over.
FEEDING CATTLE ON SUGAR
Criticism of the President had become at
that time so much the order of the day
that he was described by newspaper cor
respondents as "the rr::st disliked and
dreaded executive the capital has ever
known," with "hardly c single follower
whose loyalty, if he rr.ay'be said to have
any loyalty, is inspired y the common
enthusiasm of the two for any political
ideal or a political princpal." This state
of things in Washington was admitted by
newspaper correspondents generally, by
those f nenoly as well as by these hostile
to the President. Tne conviction in j
Washington, at least, was firmer than i
ever that he had 'ost his ascendency and I
would be unable to rega.n it. Now he
has regained that ascer.oency so fully that i
with a Congressional carnpa'gn under full
headway, tne leaders of the Republican;
party and the press :f the party are i
practical y unanimous.:.! cnoesmg to pre

Recent statistics show considerable
progress in the employment of "doctored"
sugar for the feeding of cattle. The con
sumption, which reached 50,000 pounds!
at the end of December, 1305, rose to
200.000 pounds in January, 1906. If
this custom were general, 5C0.0OO tons
of sugar would be consumed annually,
say half of the present production, giving
every day 100 grammes (3.5 cunces) ofi
sugar per head of black catt'e. The
sugar can be doctored only within the in
cisure of the sugar refiner and under the
conditions determined by a relation of
the public administration. To 130 kilos
(220 pounds) of sugir are added 2 kilos
(4.4 pounds) of salt and CO k.lcs (44
pounds) of oilcake, or of any powder
whatever approved by t-.e acrr.inistra
tion. This mixture circulates freely and
is sold at from 20 to 22 franc i$4.00 to
$4.40) per 100 kilos, sry abojt tne price
of the oats, with which, at the moment of
serving, it is mixed in the proportion of
20 per cent. Thus 1 000 k.los of oats and
200 kilos of sugar will give 1200 kilos of
sugared oats, which will be c str.outed,
for example, at the rate cf 8 kiios nstead
of 10 kilos of pure oats' Tts fodder,
therefore, is economical. Fcr cxen the
sugar is mixed with chaff. Sectored
sugar i beginning to be usee a so f jr the
disinfection of stables, for its ccT.austion
gives a plentiful release effornr;'. Scien
