the suit brought by tho government
against the Stanford estate to recov

rer seta forth that the only obligation

against the Central Pacific ami the
Western Pacific railroads was on

which It Is claimed do not constitute

A PROFITABLE ONION FARM.-
W. T. anil J. Johnson of .Clackamas,
I ho largest onion growers In Oregon,
gave the Oregon City Enterprise some
facts and figures relntlvo to their ex
pciieiice lu producing this crop. Last
ear their acreage was less tlinn
iiNiuil, but their crop of onions mens
ured ;t,2(M) sncks. They till orders for
ar load lots from Alabama and other
Soul hern stales and from several
Northern Stilton. Not long ngo they
received nn order for two hundred
sncks from Honolulu, but were un
able to fill tho order as they hnd sold
out. Their nverngo yield is from 000
lo 7x sacks per ncre, but have pro
duced as high ns IfiOO sacks on a sin
gle acre In a favonihlo season. Messrs,
lohnson hnve been In tho business for
ti number of years nnd nt ono time
their onions readily sold nt from .i to
$7 per sack," but the maximum price
wiih received ror n smiiii ioi som in
nn Oregon City merchant several
years ago, which brought $s.75. it
takes careful management nnd skill
to successfully grow onions nnd these
gentlemen hnvo ninstered tho problem
In all Its Intricate details. Benver
dam land Is best adapted to profitable
yield of onions, hut they will do well
In any kind of hlncK, alluvial sou. At
present prices they will yield the pro
ducer from $.ri00 to $700 per acre.

How Mr. Dolph' Defeat Wan Taken
What Mitchell and Hermann
Are Doing.
Washington City, May 2d.-There
MX'ina to Is.' no attraction for Oregon
tuns In Washington this year. I.nst
spring the hotels were full of ofllcu-
Keek era, the great majority of whom
Went homo iinsntlslled. Kvcn the mi.
pr. Milling vacancy In the lulled
Slate Judgeship for the district of
Alaska, which is now held by Hon.
Warren Trultt of Oregon, has as vet
brought no host of anxious apiiltcatits
lu this Mecca of ofllce scckers.
Senator Dolph'a defeat wa the en
tirely unexis'cted thing here. While
not at all a popular man en I ther lit
the senate or among the outsiders, yet
Ida long term of service nnd hit deep
research lu every question that affect-
d the slate he represented, gave him
great weight mining his fellow sena
tor, and enabled him to accomplish
much lu the wny of legislation ami ap
proprUitloiis Hint might otherwise
have been lost. lleyoiitl the usual
newspaper notices of such an event,
however, his passing was unnoticed.
Much iimre Interest has been uianlfest-
I lu the coming of the new senator
from Oregon, Doll, (ieorge Mcltride.
JT.e hitter's record ns a stiiicsmnii,
politician, public officer, and descend
ant of a family thnt has had many
representatives in public life, has all
ls-eii published here, together with
some other thing highly romantic,
iut not strictly accurate. The rumor
that all the marriageable inn minus
art waiting with silken lassos to trip
the handsome Oregon bntchclor sena
tor, la somewhat exaggerated. Truth
to say, marriageable men, especially
those holding high government olllces.
are cvcepilomilly In demand, but these
matrimonial snares nnd pitfalls are
aslly discerned nud as easily avoid
ed. Mr. Mcltride will Iiml quite a
number of wnrm imtsoiuiI friends
when he reaches Washington. His
niece, daughter of the Hon. John It.
Mcltride of Salt Lake, Is the wife of
Mr. Marshall Cushliig, at one time
rlvnte secretary to Postmaster Gen-
ertl Wanamnkrr. under the Harrison
administration, nnd now publisher of
the " Washington Capital." Mr. Me
Bible will bring with him to Wash
ington as his private secretary. Mr.
dtniiiid C. Glllner, one of the bright-
st and best posted politicians of all
the youtigMiicn In Oregon today. Mr.
Glltner'a Appointment as private sec
retary to Senator McBnde has al
ready been llled In the olllce of the
secretary of the senate at the capltol,
and he Is now acting In that capacity,
Senator McBrlde's term of oltlce hav
ing begun oil the 4th of March Inst.
Mr. Giltner hns ls'en for ninny years
the rontldeiitln) secretary of Senator
Mcltride during the lntter'a eu-
uiiiboncy of the olllce of secretary of
state of Oregon. He has there come
In contact with every public mail of
prominence lu the state, and hns com
plete knowledge of things political
and financial, as well ns a large per
sonal ncqiiulnfiiiice. which especially
fits him for tlie place he now occupies.
Tho duties of his position are not
onerous dining the long vacation, but
when congress is In session, they are
sufllcleiit to occupy pretty thoroughly
mau a physical aud mental facul
ties.
Senator Mitchell, whose law prac
tice Is very extensive, has been divid
ing bis time between the higher courts
In this city and lu New York since
the close of congress. He will prob
ably make a visit to Oregon some
time during the summer, but lias not
definitely decided as to that. Ills
daughter, tho handsome Duchess Ie
La Rochefoucauld, Is now in Aew
York, nud her many friends In this
Ity are anticipating a pleasant visit
1th her cro long.

of service on this committee justly
entitles him to the promotion which
will come with the change in the po
litical complexion of tho house of rep-
rcHentntlves, nud If the successes or
former chairmen of this commltteo la
obtaining appropriations, for the par
ticular stnto which they represent, is
nny criterion, men nir. nermann n
elevation to tho chairmanship will be
the best thing thnt has happened for
tho state of Oregon In many a long
vear. Many Important river nnd hnr-
bor works begun In Oregon nwnit the
necessary appropriations for their
completion, nnd the next river nna
harbor bill will undoubtedly provide
a irood round sum to be expended In
that state. Mr. Hermann's increasing
prominence ns a member fully justl
ties the wisdom of his constituents
who have honored bliu with so many
re-elect lous.

tiiatgTgantig TRUST.
How aud by Whom Prices of
Arc Controlled.
Beef
This entire country from Eastport,
Me., to Sau Diego, Cal., from Port
land, or., to Key West, Is In the grasp
of a monopoly compared with which
the Standard OH company and the
sugar trust cut but an Inslgulflcant
figure.
The nature of this trust is one which
reaches Into every household In the
laud. Every one of the twelve mil
lion or more families which compose
tho population of the United Statea
pays tribute to it.
Every man, be ho poor, wealthy, or
of the middle class, pays his pro rata
share towards the enrichment of the
members of this combine.
From day to day his contribution
has, for thc pnst month or six weeks,
Ufti steadily growing, until today he
Is paying almost twice ns much as he
paid on March 1st, and by July 1st
this will be Increased still more.
There seems to be uo relief from
the oratloua of this latest octopus
as long as Attorney-General Olney Is
permitted by the administration at
Washington to let this trust and tho
other oues rob the people unmolested. ,
The members of this trust are P. D.
Armour & Co., Nelson Morris & Co.,
and tl. F. & E. 0. Swift, familiarly
known In the trade as the "Big Three."
Their headquarters are In Chicago,
These men slaughter every pound of
beef which Is cousumed daily In the
United States, with the exception of
perhaps a few steers here and there
killed for local use by country butch
ers, aud In a few small slaughter-
houses on the Pacltlc coast, lu the
Gulf states, in tho far Eastern states.
and hero and there throughout
Georgia, Florida nnd South Carolina.
All these Independent killers of cat
tle, however, do not handle In one
year as much beef as is slaughtered
by any one of the combine meutloued
in a week.
They control absolutely the output
of Animal food lu this country. Upon
them depend what prices shall be
paid for the steak or chop that goes
upon your table. Upon them depend
for a living IX) per cent of the retail
dealers of meats In the United States.
Without their sanction no man who
sells meats by the pound to the retail
purchaser and consumer may do bus
iness. All the dealers are absolutely
at their mercy, nnd pay tribute in the
same proportion ns do their customers.
' The iiuihor who raises ca'.tlo is also
at the mercy of this monopoly. He
must tnke the price it sets upon his
product, for the price is set not ac
cording to the law of supply and de
mand, but according to the judgment
of tho members of the trust, who, by
their agents, meet dnlly and In secret
fix an arbitrary price which they have
determined to pny the producer for
tho cuttle he sends or brings to mar
ket. Awarded
