Mr. Hogg, the former prosl dent of t he Oregon Pacific railroad, is pretty well known in this state; here is a Hull and Boveral Uullocki- living in l'ortlaud; but. the only mail whose name 1h really Mud is a a . ji ill a. grocer, ami lives iu niiniatnei, Wash. The force of the state abbre vial ion in this instance is loot in it obvious inability to do justice to ho stibjwt. Ex. Oregon is all right when it comes to a fish exhibit at the world's fair. good display will be made, H will be iuthe form of a large pyra mid, the base being about 30 feet iquare, aud the top 40 feet high. Die lower tier will be of barrels, and the auperstructurstlersof otitis, filled with salmon. On the top will lie placed a paper-maehe figure ofa man holding a stuftod salmon, while iHeinieim of salmon stuffed,' dried and in uleohol will occupy other tdvitutngecus positions. Carter Harrison's oleetionos as mayor of Chicago by 20,000 plurali ty assures the visitors at the worldV fair that everything will be throwi wide open Sundays and week days, ind that women and children may o to ami from church, with safelv om insult, provided they arecare- ul to follow the hack st reefs.

Alaska has only one, Washington county will soon have good roads of cmshdod roek, The action of the couuty comiulssioners iu inventing iu a rock crusher seems to have given general satisfaction. Although the weather has not been favorable, satisfactory progress has been made during the winter mouths. The committee directing the work are serving ou busitieHt principles. The men composing it so arrange their affairs that some one of them is always at the crusher. No idling is allowed. When a man tires he ia paid off and giveu an opportunity for resUug. At the time that Michael Augelo, the great painter, commenced work in the Sistiue Chapel, at Home, he was thirty-three years old. He was short aud stout, of weak, but endui ng constitution; his head was enor mous, ana lie was icit nauiieu. lis long beard, his abuudant and somewhat curly hail, his projecting clieek boues and his nose, crushed by the brutal blow of Torrigiauo, gave to his physiognomy a st range and somewhat rough expression, but the forehead was broad . and beautiful aud his as-iect of a deep and fascinating melancholy. Of a m and somber disposition, sensi tive tx excess, and aggressive with out cause, irritable and irritating, bis Infatuat ions were mostly as un reasonable as his antipathies, and ho liked to complain without jnak- ing a good choice, either of his reasons ,or his confidants, Tem perate as an anchorite more scrup ulous than any of his competitors, he nevertheless had money squab bles with all the world, with Julius II. with the Mediois and even with the poor and uufortnnate Signor- elli, for whose great age and merit he should have had more respect. Nervous and whimsical, he attached singular importance to dreams and prognostications; sometimes he had strange hallucinations, in conceivable terrors; under the con- ol of these obsessions, in the most critical circumstance, he made tho most thoughtless decisions, com- promising both his safety and his eputatiou. Hops cou vert iuto money rapidly, With favorable prices the crop is a most val liable one. There are times when the market is weak aud prices are depressed' but to the casual ob server tbe harvest's product always seemed in demand and capable ol llndiisg a ready motley exchange. The fortunes made by hop groweis in New York stale are numberless, aud there was a time when a good hop farm was worth more than a gold mine. Vh le less profits are made uow, still there is an oppor tutiity not to be neglected. The Puyallup valley hops iu Washing ton are famous, and have brought wealth to many fanners, and the Willamette valley product averages well for the raisers. In the past there bus been one drawback to sue cossful tigricultnre iu Oregon, not withstanding climatic and soil con- ditiousare unsurpassed. The crops have not been sufficiently diversi. fled. It has always been too much wheat. Now there is a tendency to brauch out in such ways as raising hops,' fruit or sugar beets. It ii- lierefore encouraging to learn that farmers are extending their bop acareage and that throughout the (southern counties new yards will be numerous. If immunity from lice and favorable weather are granted them, the amount of money coining into Oregon in return for the har vest will be large aud gladly wel comed. . The man who attempts to do busi ness witltout advertising has been aptly compared to a young fellow winking at a pretty girl in the dark, lie may know what be is doing bat nobody else does. ., , Among the freaks secured for the world's fair is a specimeu of the laughing jackass. And with an ex travagance that seems almost wan ton the management sent clear to douth America for it When the hungry and thirsty started to Washington toseeGrover inaugurated they were unanimous in exclaiming "It is well!" Now fruit tUa A-tftt tiiatrA liA.-rn'ri tn fl rarr w . - o " o along wearily aud the persimmons are st ill far on the limb, they are re- lunctatitly changing the first letter of the last word to "H," and wend ing their way homeward. Pacific Uuiversity, at FonSi Grove, offers to erect a new building at a cost of 50,000, provided the citizeus of the town will subscribe 15, 000 toward it. Already a num ber of the more public spirited cit izens have subscribed upwards of $11,000, and efforts are now being made to raise the remaining $4,000. Hogs ought to bring good prices this j ear. The decrease in the to tal number of hogs for the kingdom of Great Britaiu thisyear is over 1, 000,000. The shortage iu Ireland is estimated at 1,200,000 head. rheabiiorni illy high price of bacon and pork, as contrasted with other meats, will it is thought, greatly stimulate hog- breeding. Poor Lo is having a hard rub as well as the white man. The cos- tiveness oUhe money market seems to be general. At the Dalles re cently the Indians hired a ball and dauced, to rake funds. They had a good time, though, aud some of the white boys took a hand in tho nicr- imeitt and swung the dusky maidens around something like the way the women are lifted at a french ball. They stood 'em on their heads and tapped the ceiling with tuelr toes. The states,of Oregon anil Wash iuetoii each have over 100,000 milch cows, or 208,000 iu all. If this num ber of cows were even up to the av erago standard of cows for the whole of the United States they would sup ply all the butter, cheese and milk required for home consumption. As it is the greater part of the cheese and a very large amount of the butter consumed in the two states is imported from other states. The Southern Pacific, railroad company has commeuced the work of fencing the track through the state in compliance with the provis ions of a law passed by the last legis lature. To What Are 'e Coinlngl Editor West Side: Editors who can speak to the world .while the rest of us must be couteut with speech of shorter range should hes itate long before they pronounce that wrongs will never change. Shyloeks great and small, are with us now; we know them, we hate the principle whereby one man makes the necessity or misfor tune of another his opportunity for idletiess. The crime is the cool cal culating work of the -most fiendish human nature.' Men aro deeply feeling this, and changes will coine that are deeper than parties or .ad ministrations. Farmers will not trifle with the silver decoy duck much longor. Laboring men that are laboring men, can handle this government and all the school boys ery comfortably. Seud the nidV golians home aud bid lawyers and bankers let the lands alone. Very little railroading is required ; com merce better stay at hone and cities ultimately will have to scatter for the sake of health, morel, and phys ical. Shylock wiil ultimately find the end of his rope, and history will make abrief mention of America's 'Teddler Kings''. : When a boy getteth older than his father Wheu a race becomes greater than its past, There conies then a change of position Man rallies vnl the first becomes last. .
