The close season for China pheasant In past and now the hunter are enjoy, lug the sport of hunting them I.st Monday D. II, Taylor, J. U, Alexander and J, M. Vamluyu took a spin out to John Scott's furm south of towa and after enjoying a meal of delicious bread and milk they went out aud killed thirteen China pheasants in an hour. Mr. Taylor Is of the opinion that the "close season'' fur these birds should be extended until September 1st. One reason is that the birds are too amall now, and another Is that aa they are now, any "elodhopH'r" can kill them, while a month from now It would take an expert hunter. In i!4 year the state agricultural col lege at Corvallla lis graduated 1U0 student. Seven of the graduate are now nqsirted a farmers, 18 a lawyers, ami about as many merchants, doctor and teachers.

OrryonUux, This showing would not be a good one for the agricultural college were Its funds dc-udeut upon state appropria tion, but fortunately most of the money eoines from the general government, Thesclnsil may not educate farmer, but it give an education that will bo of ue to any farmer, and It is one of the best of our Oregon schools. S 1). Irvine was fortunate In not having lost two valuable homes last Monday morning. HI team wa stand ing harueNied to his wagon near the dwelling ou A street, while the family were at breakfast. The lines were wrspped around the hub of one of the wheels, but otherwise were not tied. The horses commenced to back and ran the wagon over the sleep bauk, about twenty five feet high, and wagon lior e and all went into the slough. It was thought from the apsaranee of the wreck the horses being pinioned un der the wagon, that severe damage waa done, aud perhaps one of tho horses killed, but awtlstaiice being called the liorca were extracted, looking little the worst for the tumble. Mr. Irvine breathed a sigh of relief when he found bis horses all right. Jury List.

Dick Farley, a tramp, was arrested at Fresno, Cal., the other day under very novel circumstances. He sneaked Into the Barton winery, secured a demijohn and proceeded to knock out the bung of a 8-loo-gallon i ask of port wine while the men were at lunch. The force of the wine as It Issued knocked him down and soaked hint from head to foot. Fully 1000 gallons of wine were wasted before the bung could be re placed by the men. Farley was arrested some distance from the winery with iboul 10 worth of wine soaked Into his clothes. He was charged with bur glary. The prisoners at the Jail were eager to obtain possession of Farley's clot lies and wring them out. The wine wssted was valued at 12000, Con'l Gllmore bus erected for Inde pendence a system of water workB which are tho pride of (lie town and the Are protection connected therewith makes us feel so secure that many persona are carrying only half the usual amount of nsurauce. So far, so good, but now we want to say that all the good of the past is lost lu the sound of that new whistle, Mr. Gllmore says he will "fix it" so that It enn be heard twenty miles. We hope not, It Ib loud euough now. Its tone Is its great drawback. High C ou a steam whistle (iocs not sound melodious and sliding tho scule down to low C, aud buck again, does not mprove it. ' , There are a number of young people in rind about Independence, planning to enter McMinnville college this fall. Some, for the especial purpose of study- ng music, which is one of the cunica- him of Urn college.

There Ii a Fascination About the Life of 'Bum," Wrltten for the West Bidk. " Yss, I'm a trampt what of Itf t I'poM you liiink I'm uo id Hut a tramp fit to live, I rmkon, Though torn don't think ti should." Tramps? Yes, the country 1 full of them, and the great army of so-called "hobo" and "bums" is growing larger and more aggressive every day. I have ust finished a four-month trip and will give ft fw personal experiences and observation. I waa ft workiugm.au had never been anything else and had, up to two year ago, made good wage aud had all the work I wanted. Then the shoe began to pinch, and It haa kept pinching. Early In May I left San Francisco, going to San Jote, thence to Holllsler, over the Pacheoo pass to Los llii and on to Fresno, where, a the country south waa burucd up by the drought, I "doubled back" up the main line of the Southern Pacific for Portland, Aa far uorth a Redding there waa some work to be bad and I waa able to "chew" at aatlafactory In terval. From there on, however, the outing wm anything but ft piculo. The great railroad str.ke came onabortly after I sighted Mount Shasta: trains were all tied Hp and not even ft hand oar nr track walker' velocipede was seen for week on the mountain dlvl aion aoulh of Ashland. What little money I had was soon gone, and for day my only food waa immature po tatoes filched front the truck patches along the highway and boiled In can carried for that purpose, . At last thla diet Uosme tiresome. My very soul yearned with a wistful lunging rbra"quare" meat I could think of nothing else by day; vision of tuiuptuou apreada filled my dreams at night It was theu I for the first time lowered the proud flag of Inde pendence, disregarded the boast ofteu made of never asking a favor, aud took tbe plunge that made me a "hobo." With fear and trembling, and with my face fairly burning beneath the accu mulation of (unburn, whisker aud dirt that covered It (I waa out of oap) approached a bouse and asked the lady for aomethlug to eat She eyed me keenly sud told m to wait. A consultation with aoiue one Inside the house evidently followed, aud then tbe good woman may her shadow, which waa ample, never grow leas reappeared with a "poke-out" wrapped la ft news paper. I have eaten at tbe beat hotels and restaurant lu this country, aud ouoe aat down to a banquet at Worm- ley', In Washington, where the plates cost $18 each; 1 have traveled on the finest ocean aud river steamers, "float ing palaces." where the beet that could be bought for money was aerved on table that were dream of silver, cut glaaa and cblua; but never did food taste ao good a that meal of bard cold biscuit and fried bacon, washed down with cold mouutaln water. Rut it made me a tramp. After that first time It was easier, al though my ear never got over the trick of tingling wheu I waa approach lug a house to "strike" It fur food. A point blank refusal was aeldom given, and sympathy waa often expressed. The majority of men one meets "on the road" now are honestly looking for work, or were when they started. Rut the life they lead la terribly demoral izing, and my opinion la that most men who tollow it long enough to be come thoroughly Imbued with the no mud lo habit slid have their finer seme blunted are seldom suited to a life of steady labor again. There la a freedom from care, a luxurious ease, a sense of "don't car ft blank" about It that will be very apt to draw them away from good situations, and they will tramp on till tbe end of their time. A nd you whose lines are cast in pleasant plaoes should exercise that rare quality of true Cbrlstlau charity In passing Judg ment upon them. New Electric Light Co, On last Saturday evening a meeting waa held to orgnnlze a new water and electric light company, with ft capital of $30,000. All the stock ha been taken, and articles of Inoorperatlon have been filed. The Incorporators are L. C. Gllmore, D. B. Taylor, A. S. Locke, J. B. Cooper, J. A. Veness aud J. M. Vanduyu. The object of the company 1 to conduct water works and electric lights In Independence. L. 0. Gllmore, waa elected president and manager and J. M. Vanduyn secretary. The plant to be established by the company will be large enough to furnish both Indep endence and Monmouth with lights, but the price are to be so graded that the use of coal oil will be unprofitable. Power will also be furnished for small manufactories The organization of thla company will mark a new era lo the development of our town, for the company Is composed or progressive men, who will seek to build up a busi ness through correct business methods. Mount Hood Pictures, Prof. T. 0. Hutohlnson, our oounty school superintendent, who was one of the party to ascend Mt. Hood, has now finished a number of pictures of the trip, which he had here last Monday exhibiting to quite ft number of persons at this oftlce. He had a view of the party in their enow cave where they slept ou the top of Mt. Hood, The party consisted of Supt. Hutchinson, Prof. Campbell, Eldon Haley, C. 0. Lewis, and Mrs. McElvalu, of Mon mouth, and Mr. Buford, of Salem. "I know an old soldier who had chronic diarrhoea of long standing to have been permanently cured by tak ing Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera aud Dlurrbcea Remedy," says Edward Shumplk, a prominent druggist of Minneapolis, Minn. "I have sold the ' remedy In this city foroversoveu years and consider it superior to any other 'medicine now on the market for bowel J complaints." 25 and SO cent buttles of ( this remedy for sale by Alexander- Conner Drug Co, A SOLID INSTITUTION. THE STATE IMtllUWK OOMPAJff OF HA I.EM IJf THE YAM OF PltOilKEHN. A Home Company That I ReeeUIng Home Support. In these day of money strlmrencv low price and general depression the business man who holds his own aud meet every obligation as It falls due, and at the same lime di a volume of buslueas half or two-third aa great as he waa doing a year ago, la and has right to be considered a reliable flnun cler aud one to be trusted, while tbe firm that dm trade aa large as ever la considered phenomenal. Then how much more credit is duo a com nan v that not only meets every obligation when it I due, but has actually ex tended It business during the past year by 30 per cent over that of the previous year, and thutlu spite of the suspeu slon, failure and liquidation of a large number of concerns In the same line, and In the teeth of a powerful combina tion of envioua rival. This is the proud position of the State Insurance Company of Salem, and It stands to day at the head of the fire Insurance busluesa of the Pacific Northwest. The company Is notouly sound finan cially and it policy holder have absolute aiMurance that every dollar of oss will be paid, but the business of each year la conducted on a sure basis so that no cue can bate a dollar. Iu surer in the State Insurance Com pany have a triple guaranty of net surplus larger than all of the other Oregon lusurance companies, and an annually increasing business of suffi cient volume to tuore man pay every dollar of loss several times over. 1 he simple meeuiug of these facts I that this company la well man sired I he personnel of tbe company la above reproach. At It head aa practical manager and secretary is Mr. H. W. uouie, ati insurance man, or over twenty years expcarluuce, Mr. Colli la also president of the board of trade of Salem aud one of her tmstt prominent busluesa men. lie beurathe reputation of being one of the most careful and best Informed lusurauce men ou the coast. The history of the "State" show thai a strong hand Is at the helm ; that it never drifts, never varies its course, but 1 guided by experience steadily onward to greater success. Accident and chance are entirely eliminated from lis affairs. It give It policy holder tbe bene lit of houest, able, experienced and economical management, thus avoiding the UU' merous peril of shipwreck that con stantly threaten Immeuse financial uterprisca, Its conservative course makes Its policies as valuable aa a bond. The Slate does not belong to the com bination of Insurance com panic known the Pacific Insurance Union, that for year has dictated ratea to aud con trolled the business of most companies ou this coast. Unscrupulous agents of these-rival companies, not having bus luesa ot their owu to attend to. aud ealoua of the large buaiues done by the State, go through the country and make mlareprcHoiitallous. The Stale, however, pays little or no attention to them, having plenty of business of its own to attend to, and being content to risk lu reputation with its acquaintan ce aud patrons lu a field where it has paid very close to twelve hundred losses siuee its organization. The best Indorsement a company can have la the patronage of the people of the locality in which It Is located. The State leads In Oregon, as It should It is a home company, aud money earned by it Is not sent to Europe, to tbe East or to California, but is Invested aud circulated right here, while the secur ity It afford policy holders Is absolute and Its losses are paid more promptly aud with less friction than is possible with companies whose main oftlce are located hundreds or thousands of miles away. The best Is tbe cheapest. The State lusurance Company of Salem 1 the best, aud therefore the cheapest. In sure In the SUite and keep your mouey homo, which will cut no mean figure lu breaking the back of the pres ent hard times. A Guatemala Letter.

"I find myself lu better health than for many years previous" "I think every bialy would do all In their power to for ward the Interests of such a colony," In conclusion the writer aays, the government has decided to raise the price of this land ou September 1st, to $5 an acre. This land is bonded to the colony at $1 an acre. So it seems that unless It Is organized very ahortly the price will be Increased very greatly. Those persons who wanted to go, but would not until some one else went first, can now figure to themselves on the first of next month a loss of $3000 on the speculation on account of miss- lug a good thing.

The Kebraskft Henator Himself. Had Keen It Senator Mandersou took occasion to Instruct the member of the United State senate In the methods employed In making beet sugar, aud the account I so interesting we reproduce it here: As the result of tbe investigation of oilier beside myself, the slate of Ne braska passed an act offering a bounty of one cent a pouud for the production of sugar. Unfortunately, I think, and ruisguldedly, in a year or two the bounty wo repealed by an after legii luture, but pending It provisions and after the act of congress giving bounty lo beet sugar and admltlng beet sugsr machinery free for a short period, the Ox hard Brothers started the Grand Island factory, and in a very short time, oi the demand and inducement if a locality remarkably rich and fer tile, It established another beet sugar factory at. Norfolk, Neb., which Is now lu full operation. The requirements of a beet sugar fac tory cr very great. For successful operation they must have tbe product of from 8000 to ftOOO acres of land. Tbe Investment In mouey Is large. In the factory Itself it means an investment of half a million dollar. It requires a knowledge of chemistry on the part of those who are to operate tbe factory It means experience as business men, for the competition ut home and abroad I great. The competition at home Is wlih the refiners; for let me say right here there Is no unity of interests be tween those who produce sugar from the soil and tbe odious trust that takes the raw sugar thus produced and sim ply put It through the process of re fining. I cure absolutely nothing for the one. I care, everything In the world for the other. Not only have they to meet with opposition at home, but they must compete with the cheaper labor abroad, the fostered production In the way of bounty paid for that produced, and iu tbe way of export bounty on that exported paid in foreign lands. They must compete with this protected foreign product. It means extensire as well aa expensive buildings. Jt means most costly and most delicate machin ery. I do not believe there is a more Intelligent process, not even excepting the typesetting machines that cast their owu type, the looms, aye, even Jacquatd looms that weave these won derful fabrics, than that which takes the beet fresh from tbe ground, with the black soil clinglug to tt, at one end of a sugar factory and moves it, without ihe touch of a human hand, through the mill or factory aud pours it out merchantable aud marketable white sugar at the other end in eighteen hours of time. The beets are brought by the farmer lu his wagou or by roil. Of course the first act is the process of weighing. Then comes the dumping of the beets Into the long sheds that are prepared for their reoeptlou. Ou the inside of these sheds, that are perhaps from 25 to 30 feet in width and 200 feet long, there are converging or sloping side that permit the beets to full by gravitatlou lo the bottom of the shed. Through the bottom of the shed runs a rapid stream of water, the purpose of which is to carry the beets to the mill and to cleause them while they are being thus carried. All that Is neces sary to start tbe beets upon that process of self-destruction, that is to be for tliciu a bettering of condition iu the Immediate future, Is to take from above this running stream at the foot of tbe storehouses the planks, six or ten feel in length, that have held up the beets. fhe beets fall Into the stream and are curried along with rapidity by the force of, tbe current. In tbe meantime the water haa been soaking tbe earth that is clinging to them. They reach a canal that ruua from tbe sheds Into the factory. Still tbe cleansing process goes on. The beets reach the wash-house, aud there without anyone touching them they enter a great trough filled with water, aud therein are revolving arms and brushes that brush aud cleanse them aa they proceed ou their way. Then they reach at the end of this trough a spiral elevator that takes them up, brushing and washing them as they go; aud at last they reach, at a higher polut lu the building than that at which they entered, a most intelli gent appearing receptacle. I thiuk it is the invention of a Frenchman. It is kii automatic weighing machine. Tbe beets, as cleau as any woman could make them with a scrubbing brush and towel, empty themselves into this weighing machine. When a half ton of beets is in the machine, of its owu motion It registers the weight shuts down the flow of beets and stops. It cannot be disturbed by hand or divert-' ed from its work. Having weighed the half ton of beets, it throws them Into a chute aud Is ready to weigh the next half ton. From this weighing machine the beets are thrown u Into a large recep tacle, at the bottom and upon the sides of which are cutting kulves. The pur pose of this machine Is to reduce the beets to shreds, and tbey come out frora the cutting machine as much like hort pieces of while tape, but a little thicker, as anything I can describe. There has beeu no loss of any part of the beet until this moment. There will be uo loss of any part of value con tained In It through the entire process from this cutting machine which thus reduces it to shreds, the uame ot which Is cossette. ' The cossttte Is then taken into the diffusion tanks, where it undergoes, through the twelve or fourteen tanks, that process of extraction by tbe use of water that takes from it every particle of sacchariue. It passes theu auto matically from these diffusion tanks to what is known us the pulp press, where the saturated pulp Is placed uuder enor mous pressure, aud there flows from it all. the water contained In the beet, carrying with It whatever there is of soluble matter, mainly, of course, the saccharine substance, The pulp, after and is carried from the pulp press toft refuse pile outside of the factory. Tbt pile, which I call a refuse pile, 1 of great value In Germany and generally abroad. They know It Importance, and it sella at a good round price per ton for feeding stock of that country. It use I limited lu our western n f ry, because other food for horses, for cattle, for ho6s la so cheap and abund ant that farmers are not driven lo the use of this pulp for these purpose. But Ihey are beginning to us it, affording a small amount of profit to the beet sugar producer aud a very large profit to themselves. Leaving, then, this pulp pile to one side, let us follow the eugar water which I proceeding on It way. It contains when extracted from the beets, besides sugar, certain salt and foreign chemicals which prevent and are enemies to It crystallization. Here was the snag struck by the early cbemlHt lu their endeavor to make sugar from licet. Tbey did not know und did not discover until perhaps fifty or sixty year ago the process by which these foreign substance could be taken from tbe sugar water, so that the sugar might be crystallized Into marketable form. The process by which these salt are extracted or enticed from tbe water la a most Interesting one. First tbe Juice I taken to what are known a the car botiatlon tanks, and they are there mixed with ilmewater and carbonic acid gas From auother part of the ground occupied by the sugar factory car bring In limestone, which 1 eon verted into lime aiid carried into a part of tbe factory where it I made, by con nection wilb the carbonic add jnu, Into that compound which, mixed with tbe lugar water iu tbe carbonate tanks, will have au affinity for the salt, etc., aud leave tbe crystal lizable sugar water. Having beeu thus mixed iu tbe carbon- stion tanks, the next important and interesting step Is permitting the lime to take up the salts, because of It affin ity; and hero is a very strange looking machine I believe never yet eonatruct- ed iu this country, but always imported from Germany or France, which, bow- ever, will be constructed along with all other beet sugar machinery If the In dustry is allowed to survive. There are several large presses called filter presses which look as much like immense ac cordion drawu out to their full extent a they resemble anything, and in the part of the press that would be akin to (be ribs of lite accordion are Iron frame about three leel square, covered on the outside uf the frame with heavy cloth, kuown filler clutti. Tbe augur press, thus drawn out to its full exteut, is completely saturated throughout its whole length with tbe carbonized sugar water, and being thus tilled pressure is brought to bear, the great accordion or tiller press closes, and, as tt closes, from tbe bottom of It pours out the pure crystallizabie sugar water, and there remaiu iu tbe open ;'j amework of the press tbe lime, re duced aim- st to hardness, which has taken up uud carries within itself all of the sails which have been the enemies of the augor-iuukiug process. The dunned sugar water is then taken to the evaporation tauk for con centration. It carries so much water that it is necessary to reduce It before it eball go through the process of crys tallization, aud in theee evaporating tanks, which are simply what the term imports, there is a great reduction of the aniouutof water. Next, and a most important process, " is the conducting of this clarified and concentrated water, thus reduced In quantity, to what are known as the vacuum paus, where the sugar water is bofled iu a vacuum aud there is formed the crystallized sugar. When it is done, as the cook would aay when the crystallization process Is complete the sugar theu pours itself out iu a very dark form, aud so nearly , fluid that it runs itself, but runs slowly, and 1 con ducted down au incline to what are known aa tlie centrifugals, which are simply revolving tanks with perforated sides within a larger tauk with solid sides, aud these ceutrifugala revolve at the rate, as I recall it now, of 1000 times a minute. Through the pore or hole In the sides of the ceutrifugala the fluid substauce pours or is ejected aud leaves the pure white sugar. Brace and Jiervea. Sedatives and opiates won't do it.

And while in extreme cases ano these only or nervous irrltatiou such drugs may be advisable, their frequent use is highly prejudicial to the delicate organism upon which they act, and in order to renew their quietiug effect increased aud dangerous dosea eventually become necessary.

Smith, who is here from Walla Walla, visiting bis parents, of Monmouth. The party took place at the home of Miss Essie Robertson, where a large number of friends were present, aud at a late hour a nice supper was set before the party, wntcti was enjoyed to the full extent. They were also favored with several fine selections from the male quarttet, which waB enjoyed very much.
