THE WEST SIDE JO. A. C. HRANT, K.llUt ami Publtatwr. WI'IWOHIFTION KATKK. (IN ADVAMHI rwlv month Tbn motiltia FKIDAY, MA Uril 15, MU Another version of a calf case U said to be brewing in this neighbor hood. The calf in question is probably worth $", not enough for neighbors to fall out about. A , The dispatches from Washington toll U8 that Joe Pinion has taken Carter's seat. Two years hence the question will be: who'll get JVs seat? " How nice it would be if the trouble could cease simultaneously .in China, South Africa and the Philippines. Thesuper-seusitive Cubansarein clined to smito the band that a short time ago was voluntarily thrust bewteen them and starvation, Through the kindness of Kx-Sen-ator Carter, whereby the river and harbor bill was killed we won't have the pleasure of handling that $-.",-000 to be appropriated for a revetment just below Independence, intended to keep the river from out ting a new channal and losing a thousand acres or more of land to this county. 9 it it . Forest Grove citizens propose to raise $200 to test the forfeiture liquor clause in deeds to certain lands, Pacific University U'ing the grantee. This question has been a bone of contention there for a number of years. About ten years ago the Free Traders declared that tin plate could not 1k made in the United States in quality and price com parable with British made tin plate The quality was long ago acknow ledged to be equal to the best in thej world, and now the English "Trade Review" warns Welsh tin plate manufacturers that they "may shortly And American tin plate manufacturers conieting in this trado, as in others, in Great Britain." it it 6 Col. C. J. Holt, the temperance lecturer, beginning with lust Friday night has been addressing large audiences in Newberg, closing up hiB work here Thursday evening. .To the majority of the people who wished to see some real temperance work done in Xewberg Mr. Holt's efforts have been a disappointment. We give the- gentleman credit for saying many good things, but we believe he could have put them all in one lecture, omitted the non-essentials, and have left Ntwberg with a better repression among the people. The general sentiment hero as we have found it seems to be that Icsb of Holt and more of tem perance would have been more in order. Graphic. Allison of Iowa, and Stewart of Nevada, are the only senators still serving who were in the senate when Mr. Mitchell was first sworn in 28 yearB ago. He will bring hack to the Benate experience, industry and good judgement on most questions. His mistaken zeal for silver, which Timhahlv rleterminerl his ili.fnut f.oif years ago, has, we trust, so far abated as to be no longer hurtfil either to him or to hiB country. Philadelphia Press. The surprise sprung by the ac countants who have been exporting the books of Yamhill county of ficers, has created no little sensa tion throughout the county. When shortages were shown up of $15.'i!). 11 against treasurer Khudo, $1141. 45 against ex-sheriff Warren, $2 04023 against ex-sheriff Henry, $2116.85 against ex-sheriff Hender son, people naturally jumped at the conclusion that Yamhill had had an enterprising set of officials, but after a few sober thoughts, many explanations may he found, and few believe the men in question to be dishonest'. The Reporter lays much of the blame to our had sys tem of bookkeeping and says: "The investigation, as we understand it, was undertaken as a purely busi ness proposition. The reputation of these gentlemen against whom shortages are found may suffer for the time being because of failure of people to suspend judgement. They claim, and should know whereof they speak, that $19 out of every f 20 can be explained. . At any rate their side is yet to be heard from, and the emblematic statue of jus tice is always blindfolded while she holds in her hand tho delicate balances. If it should result in a saving to the county of several hundred dollars, a year by the in troduction of a better system, who shall say that the ends have not justified the means." 4 In the matter of the African war the Kansas Legislature refuses to twist the lion's tail or dehorn the laging unicorn. - The many friend of Hon, George W. McBrido, late United States senator from this state, will he pleased to learn that ho has been chosen by President McKinley as one of the nine commissioners of the Lousiana Purchase Exposition to be held at St. Louis, Mo. They will be the more pleased to know that the appointment was unso licited on the part of Mr. MeHiule, the honor having been conferred upon him and the state of (begun without the use of any iulluence or suggestions whatever on the part of his friends, and as a consequence it carries with it all the more compli ment. Should Mr McHride accept the appointment and ho doubtless will, he will rellect credit upon the state and be the means of bringing its varied and large resources more prominently before the lest of the country. The appointment is a lil ting one and a recognition of Mr. Mcllride's ability ami energy a a public, man. Two agents of Portland Law Kn forcemeat League are in a very pretty pickle. They were holding cards in a gambling game when the police swooped down on the unlaw ful resort and carried the reformers off with other gamblers. Telegram: Crop indications for the coming cereal year never were belter in Oregon. According to the report sent to the- department of agriculture from the local weather bureau, March 1, Oregon winter wncat1 is in excellent condition, coining up to a good stand, good color and being well rooted, while but very little ha been damaged by rain or frosts. What little has been damaged lies on low land, and even that is damaged but slightly. The growth, by reason of the cool weather, has been rather slow, A it If the "reform" forces succeed in closing the business houses of In den'iidence on Sunday now it will be a hard matter for them' to open on that day during "hoii time." it ft it The Pure Fowl At last the people of Oregon are to have some relief from the adul terations and decoctions that have been sold in, imitation of food pro ducts. So skillful have the counter feiters become that the market has been flooded with all kinds of bogus things. The fact that these vile mixtures ruined the health of those who were unfortunate enough to consume them, made no difference either to the makers or the dealer Tho comercial spirit that leads to the art of grave robbing for profit, knows no limit in the manufacture and sale of adulterated food pro ducts. The statement can safely be made that but little pure food is sold anywhere in the state of Ore gon. The farmer, when he attempts to market his products can find no sale, for the reason that cheap adulterations have crowded out the pure food from tho farm. The law of supply and demand no longer relates to the products of the farm, but is coii lined to the poisonous mixtures made in imitation of the genuine article.

It was approved by the governor February 27, l'JOl. Following is a brief out line of tho principal points in the law: It forbids absolutely the sale of oleomargarine which has been colored to resemble butter. It pro vides that all roils and packages of butter shall be stamped with their full weight, in pounds and ounces. All cheese n ust be labeled "full cream" or "skimmed," that the purchaser may know its quality. Each dairy, creamery and , milk ranch shall be known to tho Food Commissioner by number, and its location furnished for investigation. Cider adulterated with, coloring ingredients or acids shall not ho sold. All foods, drinks, spices and fertilizers shall ho labeled with description and proportion of adulterants, if any are used. All jellies in idasseH, pails or bottles must show what amount of gluten, if any is used in their man ufacture. " ... Process butter, or buiter mixed, must bu marked, ''process butter," when exposed for sale, and printed notices iiiumI be displayed . con- spicously in all dintng-rooniswhere such process is used. muter that contains over I I cr cent water shall bo deemed adult- era ted. Milk that contains over Ni ier cent water will bo oondomed as adulterated. Milk must also con tain U per Cent butter fat. Violators of tho law are liable to punishment by fine of not less than fj. nor more than $100, or im iirisoiiineut for not less than !0 days, nor more than six mouths The Oregon legislature adopted the Torren's svstein of land tactics and transfers. Ily this system any owner of real estate can have Ids title, examined by c unity ollicials, and if perfect, a certificate is issued to him which can then be transfer red with no more formality than the title to personal property, t record of the transfer being made i jkiu ihe back of Ihe certificate and entered in a book of record in the county recorder's olliee. It is sim plicity itself and has been adopted in Massachusetts . and Illinois, where it . is ' gradually superseding the "old system. It is not compul sory but in some form is bound to be adopted in all civilied countries. It was first introduced in Australia it it it " Hiilr) liir In Oregon. In a bulletin recently issued by Prof. F. L. Kent, of O. A. C, the following statements are made re lating to dairying in this state: While the cheese factories and creameries in Eastern Oregon are yet very few in number,1 this sec tion of the state is believed to have great possibilities as a dairy region, ecpecially in the northern portion. Indeed, parties familiar withdairy iug in Southern Minnesota are of the opinion that this section of Ore gon will eventually rival equal portions of Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa in the quantity mid quality of its dairy products. In the fall of IS'.H) the most up-to-date creamery in thestatewas establish ed at the town of Milton, A person familiar with the topography of a mountainous re gion would scarcely realize the amount of territory covered by the foothills of a mountain chain like the ('oust Range, It is safe to any that a strip of couulry averaging ;i0 miles in width and extending clear acrots t le state from north to south is occupied by this range of mountains and its foothills. On the western side of tho Coast Range these hillsare usuallycovered either with douse grmvlh timber, generally fir, or with a luxuriant growth of fern. And it is r -ported that where the fern has been killed and culti vated, and grasses such as clover introduced, they have made their way clear to the summit of these talis, and prediction has been made that in the future this region may not be unlike picturesque and practical Switzerland from a dairy standiHiiiit.

WAiHNmi.mm Washington, Ih C.,!ar. 4lh j Inauguration parade, as well as other k I nds, may pall upon one who has seen many, but there Is one sight to be seen only in Wash ington and only on inauguratitMi day that no man can see without being impressed and thrilled. That is the great gathering of people at the east front of the citpitol acres and acres of upturned faces to see the president sworn in, and see him deliver his inaugural address. "See" is the correct term, for though President McKinley has a voice above the average in strength, not more than i rhaps 510 persons in all 'that vast 'throng, could hear enough of his inaugural address to day to know ft hat It was about, Hut nil of theut could see, and that is what they were there for; they could read the address in the tiltci uoon papers. The swearing in of Vice Presi dent lloosevelt was comparatively speaking, a private affair, as it took place in tho senate chamber and admittance to the galleries were by tickets only, and the number of tickets were nece.isarily limited. It is safe to say, however, that a greater number heard the inaugur al address of "the vice president than heard that of the' president. One of the first duties perfoiined by the vice president, after Senator Frye administered the oath to him, was to administer the oath to thirteen new senators, If Im had any sticrstitioUH qualms about the number, he failed to exhibit them. The thre things in the inaugural parade, which was one of the finest Washington ever hud, although m-t so long as some have been, that seems to interest the crowds on tbel(, ,H,mn ,y nurvh miU im streets tlm most, were We I ro-i- dent Uoosevelt, tho haltallion of I'orto Uica troops, and t"ho two per forming bears brought from Colo rado to participate in the parade as payment of an election wilder. The fifty sixth congress died to day, just before noon, although its last legislative day will hear the date of March l!nd, it was still of- liciiilly Saturday when the gavel fell for final adjournment. All of the regular nppn priation bills were, disposed of, Mil a Jot of legislation, j including the oleomargarine hill, was left unacted Upon. The thoughtfulliess of ( it'll. Nel son A. Miles, prevented Hawaii from being left without representa tion in the inaugural ceremonies, (ien. Miles invited IMcgotu Wil cox, who is u native of Hawaii, to join his receiving committee, which H'rfoiuied conspicuous duties both at the ca pi lid and at the inaugural bull, and he did so. A seech made by Senator I'rit chard in the closing hours of the fifty sixth congress indicates that the old tpiestion of how far the senate lias a right to go in deter mining whether ihe majority of a slate legislature were legally elected wilt figure in the fifty seventh con gress, in the case of Senator Sim mons, of N, ('., elected to succeed Senator Hutler. The ple-ideiit vetoed the bill authorizing the reference of a num ber of claiiiH for Indian depreda tions to tin' court of elaiius, on the principle ttiat us all the claims arose during the pending of war with the Indians, they should be disallowed. Senator Morgan was so chagrin ned over tho fall urn of Nicaraguu canal legislation that he asked to be relieved of the chairmanship of the committee on Inter-ocean enn uis, and announced that after six teen years lighting for the canal, he was disgusted and intended to stop Incidentally he told some history which surprised a great many per sons, when tie said: 1 am no British sympathizer when Britain dodges us. Yet, I have never said a word against her when there was no cause for it. It was I who drew up the resolutions deploring the death of the Queen, ami turned them over to the senator from Iowa (Allison), to offer, it was I who drew up the Davis report, and when the name of Davis was signed to it, the democrats scoffed at him as a J'rilish sympathizer, because the report held that the Clayton- Bulwer treaty was still in effect. We have been trying to get this canal legislation for sixteen years, and yet, we, the American congress cannot do so, because (Ircat Jlritain wants delay. The president did not inero'ise the beauly of the parade, from a spectacular point of view, when he intervened in tho wrangle between Grand Marshal (irecno, of the in augural parade, and the Union veterans, and insisted that his per gonal escort from the white house to the capitol, should bo composed entirely of his former comrades in arms, but ho greatly increased his lopularity with tho veterans, and did tlm thing that was in tho eyes of nearly everybody, tho right thing to do.
