J" labKI'KNUKNCK, OK, NOV., '03.
lOiiiToK WkstBipi. If the farmers
of Polk county, would do their bus! news
on business principles, hard times
would be a thing of the past. If they
would sell their grain, wool, hops, fruit
and other produce for what It la worth,
at least enough of It for what they hon
estly owe and what tbey promised to
pay after harvest, there Would be plenty
of money In circulation. The way It Is
now, tbey . sell 60 or 100 bushels of
wheat now, the same amount la dribbled
away, lu a week or so, and all at once
the mouey and wheat Is gone with out
benefitting any one, the faimer him
self Included It Is true wheat la low
mid the farmer can hardly raise it at
fie price and makeanythlng, or hardly
save himself, but what of that.
This Is au exceptloually hard year,
where evorpliody looses; and the far
mer cannot expect to be exempt, al
though the burden and lors fulls lighter
iu him thau any other business. Let
me explain. There is not s bank lu the
State of Oregon that has not lost mon
ey this year. Bonk stock worth laat
year from 1160 to (200 per share; you
gut to day for 1100 and some for less. I
don't belelve there Is a merchant either
wholesale are retail who Is worth th
money he was lust year, aside from the
100 thut busted. Now what docs tbe
runner lose? Take the average
throughout Polk Co. and the farmer
mines say 12()d bushels for each furm. il
think this is a fair average) now on this
wheat he loses at the present . market
(40 cents) Just about 4 cents per bushel
or suy 860., or In short evry farmer la
Oregon loses 850 on his whole year
work Now Is It fair for tbe farmers
for the sake of saving 60 cents to force
th retail merohant Into bankruptcy,
the wholesale merohant to assign and
the bank to suspend, Just to gamble
that he will make up his 60 cents on
the raise of the prloe of grain, Instead
of acting the honest or at least like a
business man, stand his share of loss
and sell enough of his grain to pay his
honest debts and not foroe to the wall
a whole community. After the farmer
has redeemed bis promise to pay "after
harvest", and If ha then, baa auythlng
left ha haa perfect right to speculate on It.
Fanner pay your , obligations, and
help the oommuulty aud youraslf.

An old woman, rather ahabbiljrtat
arldontly comfortably dresaod and
bundled op In a beary plaid woolen
shawl, got on tbe train between Boa
ton and New Haven a short time ago
and looked about conftuwdljr tat a
eat Bhe finally found a place ut a
eat occupied by a well drwauod young
nan, who was talking to aome com
panions just behind bun.
When the young man looked up at
tbe old lady, who jostled against him
with her big bundles and tbe basket
("which she carried upon her lap, be
gave a rorrpreased groan, much to
the amusement of hi companion!.
Then the young man winked and
gave a sidelong glance, aa much aa to
aay i "Just you watch met Well
have aome fun."
The old lady looked nnoonoerned
and waa totally unconscious of the
mirth the waa about to provoke.
"Bather cold day," ventured the
young man in a suave voice.
"Yea, it is right sharp answered
tbe woman, "almost cold enough to
freeze these egg I have got in here."
What are you doing with tba
eggur asked the young man, with
friendly interest. J
"On, Pre been saving them up this
good while, and I intend to take them
into town to sell," and tbe old lady,
who waa inclined to be social, looked
ploaeed at the Interest evinced by the
young man.
"Now," began the youth aa be cast
a sidelong look at bis companions.
Tl you were out in Utah, where I
came from, you could get your own
price for the eggs. It is so warm
there, you know, that in summer
nearly all the bens die off. In fact,"
he continued, looking straight into
his companion's eyes, "when a ben
does set, which is a rare occurrence
out there, the eggs have to be sponged
off with cold water every day to keep
them from getting too warm." .
"Waal, do toll!" remarked tiie wo
man, "if 1 ever heard anything to
beat that) Ain't it queer how things
is out weatl Now, there's my son
John. He's bound to go out there
and git rich, but hell never got my
consent if it's so hot as all that I've
heerd toll a good deal about that air
country, but I never heerd afore that
it was too hot to set eggs." , ;,
"It's worse than that in Nevada,"
continued the youth, pleased with,
the effect of his story. Here be
looked around at his friends, who
appreciated all that was going on.
" Worse P exclaimed the woman In
amazement "If it's hot enough to
kill bona, then that's all I want to
know. I dont want anything hotter."
"Yea," was the answer. "In Ne
vada we have to feed hens cracked
ice to keep them from laying hard
boiled eggs."
This was too much for the old
woman. Even her credulity could
not stand this. She gave the youth
one long, scrutinizing glance, then'
gathered up her numerous bundles,
nor basket of eggs and her umbrella,
and trudged over to another seat
She rode on in an abstracted state
for a quarter of an hour or more.
Her face was a curious study. Its
expression was one of mingled injury
and thoughtfulneas.
The conductor called "New Ha
ven." The old lady got up, but when she
reached the seat she had occupied a
few minutes before she took hold of
the youth's arm and sold, "See, here,
young man, just explain how in that
air torrid country you tell about they
git the ice to feed them henat" New
York Herald.
- A Msw Rsla Cosspsllsr.
Scientists say that the effect of a
low temperature on a cloud of vapor
will bo shown in the precipitation of
rain. Acting on this knowledge, a
European living In the tropical re
gions of India has invented a novel
rain producer. His apparatus con
sists of a rocket, capable of rising to
a height of a mile, containing a res
ervoir of ether. In its descent a par
achutolike attachment opens out,
causing the apparatus to descend
slowly. At the same time the ether
la thrown out in a white spray. The
absorption of heat by the ether is
said to lower the temperature of the
surrounding air sufficiently to con
dense the vapor, and hence cause
rain. This being true, a large number
of rockets would probaldy bo required
to cause a prolonged shower. Phila

Packages are divide I lr Tlrs. Grun
dy into three classes genteel, vulgar
and nondescript. Genteel packages
are such as can be earned through
the streets by well dressed persons
without causing the slightest desire
to dodge around a corner or slip into
the nearest store when well dressed
friends are seen approaching. A
book neatly dono up in brown paper
and surrounded by a string of some
tosthetiohue or a magazine wrapped
in an untied cylinder are eminently
genteel packages.
One is naturally rather proud of
them than otherwise. They argue -
literary tastes and the possession of
certain amount of available cash
over and above one's monthly sti- i
pend to butcher, baker and raiment
maker. For a ludy a bonbon box is
very desirable package, or any
small, tissue covered purchase from .
the jeweler's, or a cardcase from
the stationer's. -Kate Field's Wash-

Aa Eleetrla Buad Lamp. . '' !
Russian engineer officers have been
experimenting with an electric hand
lamp of Russian Invention. It seems "
to be well adapted to the inspection
of mines and trenches at night The
lamp or lantern is in the form of a
tube S feet long, the interior being
made of tin. Tiny cells forming a
battery are placed in this tube and '
connected in a special manner. The
light is inclosed in six plates of glass
at the top of the tube, and the bril
liancy is regulated by a screw at the
tower end. New York Telegram, ,
