The British seem to bo spioling
for a chance to tight most anybody
in order to wipe out the stain on
their arms in South Africa, and it
isn't altogether impossible that
France or Russia may decide to
oblige them for a friendly fall or
two.
Russia has answered the Angle

haps France will admit that some
body played a trick on her in say
that Russia wasn't asked for her
opinion.

Oregons reputation for growing
prunes is not very widely known,
and it is found that packers in
many parts of the state are label
ing their fruit as grown in Califor
nia, in order to find a good market
for it. Those who are interested in
the industry in the state should
use every means to advertise Ore
gon as a prune-growing state in
order that the fruit grower here
may haue a standing in the mark

business in a town should be

The advertiser builds up the town,
and it is to his interest to let the
people know what he is doing.

For people of small moans the
Willamette Valley, anya General
Passenger Agent C II. Markhatn,
of the Southern Pacific, offers un
surpassed advantages. Diversified
(arming can bo arried on to reach
perfection, and made to pay hand
somely for the amount invested.
The Willamette Valley proper
contains 11,475 tqnaro miles, or
7,31 1,000 acres. While a vory .small
portion of Oregon, it is a com
mercial empire In itself larger than
a good many ""astern stater. It 1b
85 miles wide from the summit of
tho Cascades to the Coast Range,
and 185 miles long from the Col
umbia river to the southern divid
inn line. Of tho total area the
square miles of agricultural land is
ioGS, or 2.705.520 acres. The timber
land contains an area of 2107
s'tpiare miles or 4,548,480 acres
The land under cultivation and
that which is available for cult!
vatiou, reaches 1,863,080 acres, or
abuui-onn he U ft
as agricultural land.
The valley is not the place, Mr.
Markham says, for people who, are
without means to purchase homes.
But for a small outlay of capital it
offers as good returns as any section
in the United States. Good land
can lie obtained at compartively
low price whan compared with the
price in other fanning sections, and
with tho rich possibilities ojH'n to
ilia industrious scieiuinc iurmer,
crops of all kinds can be raised
Tho foot-hills sloping toward the
lowlands furnish an ideal fruit sec
tion for every variety of fruit grown
Tho Bandy soils produce hops
classed this year tho choicest in the
world. The black rich loam of the
bottom lands crows a luxuriant
growth of all sorts of vegatablcs,
grasses and other farm products.
In fact, from the summit of the
mountains upon each side to the
depth of tho valley between is a
gradual gradation of different kinds
of soils and climatic chanctoi cap
able of raising any thing produced
in tho three zones. Products of the
tropical climes fruitst nuts, silk
worms, Bugar cane grow with the
same luxuriance as do tho product?
of the colder climes upon the more
elevated portions of tho plateaus.
Tho warm breath from tho Japan
ocean current breaths upon this
favored section, and Jiiviag mists
from tho ocean furnishes nil t!
Tho valley h tapped by t v i
nvrtial ai lories the Southern
PaeThVSyimirnl the-Wttbmoite
River. Portland is the rH.ta,
head or natural basin for draining
these trJ veins.
The water of the smaller streams
that tumble over precipices fur
itishes unlimited power for manu
facturing interests. A number
them have been already harnessed
to aid dairying, which has made
such ranid progress in the last
year.
For these and other reasons Mr,
Markham considers the valley an
ideal place for intelligent and
farmers of means.
The trade zone is set by commcr
cial gems in the shape of villages
hamlets and cities, which draw
their support from tho surrounding
districts. Every one is thriving
and expanding commensurate with
the fertility and capabilities of the
surrounding country, and such
things as signs ''for sale" or "rent1
are rare exceptions. When one con
sideres thp.t the valley is only a
very small portion of Oregon, that
it h more settled than other ant
larger trade empires within the
boundries of the state, people wil
begin to appreciate the importance
of Oregon as a whole
WASIIINUTOX LETTER.
The following from the Scio News
gives a new view of the free rural

are raising a great kick because
their petition for free rural delivery
has not been granted. And at the

Btate that the system has done more
th injure the business interests of
that town than anything else.
People who live in the country and
have their mail delivered at their
door do not find it necessary to go
to town as often as they did before
the rural mail delivery system,
hence business men are not pleased
at the establishment of new routes.
Two months or so ago a number
of thewfipj men of the West were
induced to consign their wool to
Eastern firms on the representation
that tho prices would be better in a
short time, says the Rural Spirit
The wool men have been waiting
for that time ever since, and each
succeeding week tho price has gono
lower, and the chance for getting a
fair price for the clip has become
more remote. Within Ihe past few
days these same wool men have
receiving circular letters from their
Eastern firms, most of them from
Boston, advising them that they
are clening and grading all con
signed wool to have it ready for
the market in case of a raiso in
case of a raise in prices, but they
hold out but little encouragement
of such a raise. The circular writ
ers in the far East go on to say
that the market is uery dull. In
fact, in all their experience they
have never seen so little demand
for wool, and no one can explain
the cause. The market reports
from Boston are very discouraging
as to wool.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 29,
Reforms are sometimes conta
gious. Although none of tho South
and Central American governments
were represented at the Ctar'e peace
conference at The Hague, tho pre
paratory steps toward the court of
arbitration provided for at that
conference, appear to have imbued
our Southern neighbors on this con
tinent with the idea that is a court
for the arbitration of disputes be
tween big nations if a good thing,
it must also be a good thing for the
little nations. Consequently a
movement is on foot to got tho mat
ter before tho Pan-American Con
gress, shortly to assemble in tho
City ol Mexico. The plan provides
a Court of International Arbitra
tion, modeled after that provided
for by Tho Hague Conference, ex
cept that its jurindicthn will be
confined to this continent. This is
a good thin, and if put into prac
tice, ought to stop the wars which
keep the little republics to the
south of us stirred up all tho time,
to the detriment of their people.

por cent extra pay to officers., and
aoldiers serving in the island posses"
sionsoftho U.S. and 'Alaska, 'be
amended so as to include , all sol
diers Berving in countries beyond
the limits of (he U. S. proper, and
that tho amendment take effect
from May 20, 11)00, the date of the
law. Under the law as it now
stands, men serving n Cuba, Porto
Rico, and tho Philippines get the
extra pay, while those serving in

Professor W. B. Parker, of Penn

less powder has yet been made that
can be safely kept for any length of

liability to explode without ap
parent cause. Ho thinks tho re
cent explosion at tho government

below Washington, was caused by
smokeless jtowder, which our naval
ollieers had declared to bo perfect.
If Senator Sullivan, of Miss, were
not a comparatively new man in

worst part of the nasty mess is that
neither Senator Sullivan nor hi

the young woraam to Washingto

most they say is that the woman

but his state, the U. S. and common
decency has claims upon every man

If anyone thinks thai this out
break will stop or even halt the
growth of Christianity he is very
much mistaken. Look for a mo
ment at the wonderful figures of
nineteen centuries! The number
of converts on tho Day of Pente
cost was only 3000; at tho end
of the first century it reached only
300,000. Even at the close of the
tenth century thero were only fifty
million Christians in the world
Come a little further to the, days 0
Luthor in tho fifteenth century and
we find only one hundred millions.
But begin with 1800 and for, every
year of this century wo have an in
crease of over two millions, until
today there are in tho world nearly
six hunurea million Christians.
Seventy years ago the ' Biblo " was
read in only fifty languages and
dialects today there are 300. .
At the height of her greatnoss Im
perial Romo ruled 120,000,000 peo-
le. Today Christian nations gov'
em 800,000,000 people. The whole
spirit of modern law and order and
progress is the growth of Christian
ity, and neither life nor money -nor
distance nor zone is an obstacle to
its steady and inevitable conquost
of the entire world. Never was it
more vigorous than today. Satur

It scarcoly 8001H3 fair to udd to
tho seemingly inunierablo nutius of
tlio housewifo tho responsibility of
guarding tho health of tho family,
yot with very alight study of tho
pubject, common, everyday ailments
may often bo avoided by a wise
choico in tho diet. . .
Celery is said to be excellent for
tho nervous system, and is also
rocommended for rheumatism and
neuralgia. It may be taken in tho
natural stato or in salads and
Roups, Of course large quantities
must bo used to bo effective.
JJor diseases of the liver and kid
ney, spinach and dandelion, served
as cooked salads, are considered
simple but eflicacious remedies.
Onions, garlic and olives promote
digoBtion by stirring up tho circu-
ation systom, with consequent in
crease of tho saliva and gastic juice.
Raw onions superinduce sleep!
and the French are fond of onion
soup for general debility and 8tom
ach troubles.
And so on througn tho list of
everyday ailments and everyday
diet. It.ls a subjectwelf worth a
litllo study on the part! of the home
caterer, who hits the well' being of
her family at heart. (j
A writer in the Advertising
World says unmarked delivery
wagons aro gaining in favor. Peo
ple., .who.:, buy, from installment
houses, or ladies in high -class neigh
borhoods who purchase at bargain
sales frequently request that de
liveries bo made in wagons contain
ing no indication' of the place
whence they come.
Tlio Alarm Clock.
When you first take home an
alarm clock you chuckle to your
self and think that the alarm is
loud enough to wake the dead, and
that you will never be late to the
ollice again on account of oversleep
ing. The fust morning, or two or
three mornings, it works like a
charm, but after that you don't
hear it at all, qut sleep on as seren
ely as before. It's .tho same way
with an ad. It works the first time
all right; if it 'is' sufficiently loud
and sjrohg enough,' perhaps it will
work a time or two more, but after
that the publicsTeeps on as serenely"
a9 before. Make it say a different ,
thing each , time! and watch the
result. . ......
Frederick Max Muller, known
dhieily as "Professor Max Muller,"
is dead, at the age of 77. As a
philologist he had long held high-,
est rank among living men. His
"History of. Ancient Sanskrit Lit
erature," his "Lectures on the Sci
ence of Language," his "Chips from
a German Workshop," his essays
on "The Philosophy of Mythology,'"
and his various books on "Religion
as a Comparative Science," have
made his name famous in the field!
of thought and letters during many
years. More than forty years, in
deed, he has been before the world,
and hU, work has been enormous
in bulk, and of corresponding im-.
portance and value. It would not
be possible to name another man
to whom philology, mythology and
religion, as historicat sciences, have
been so much indebted during these
forty years.
