r IP IT 17ell how are you anyhow? We are feeling pretty good just now, had a good spring and summer trade, but then its a little quiet just at present, couldn't expect anything else, all the farmers busy, working sixteen hours a day, and other people at the coast eating clams, makes things quiet for store folks, but its all in a lifetime and we are satisfied. Come in when you are in town, we are getting lots of new goods now, look them over and see how you like pur newly arranged store. Our prices are so low you can't stumble over them.

TrniiNimrlntlon of I'liltlc. The problem of the proper trans portation of cattle iB, like many other questions connected with the treatment of dumb animals, essen tially a modern question. In times when each country must feed its own, and the only way of getting cattle or sheep or horses from one place to another was to drive them in herds under the care of a driver, the problem was in one way simple. The animals could not travel more than a certain distance each day without definite injury, which would probably be visible to the prospective purchaser when they ar rived at their destination. It was to the interests of the drover, there fore, to be very careful. With the advent of cattle-trains however, it became possible to transport all sorts of live stock round the world, if necossary, in less time than it use to take to cross a state. The railway takes the Texas stear and lands him in Chicago in a space of time which must eeem to his bewildered brain an eternity, but is realy but a few days. His treatment enroute cannot well be bo cruel as to depreciate his ulti mate value in any way which the purchaser can see; Moreover, in such cases the purchaser often buys on faith, and pays without seeing. So long as most of the cattle get through all right, if a few die of neglect, or lack of water, or some other cause, the seller's repu tation is good. The property inter est cannot be relied upon in this matter of proper treatment of de pendents, It was estimated in the HATS IDOTTT old days of slave-trading that if half tho cargo got through the dreaded Middle Passage alive there was a profit. Tho property interest was no safe guard there. It never protected any creature which could be ill-treated by a thoughtless or cruel person with no imediato pun ishment. It is one of the character istics of the callous and cruel man, as a rule, to be short-sighted. He seldom sues that in the long run, humano treatment is profitable. In this case tho trader and rail way man do not suffer much even when their treatment of cattle is absolutely cruel. It is the public which suffcrcs, and it is the public which will therefore have to take the matter in hand. There is a great difference in the systems of various railroads and dealers in their treatment of cattle and sheep and soino are much more humane than others. But it is not so very long sinco sheep wero packed like sardines in close, cars, without a drop of wator during long journeys in tho hottest of weather; and cat tle were subjected to the same treatmont. Such conditions breed filth and disease: and diseased meat is not safe for anybody to eat. It will probably never be possible to aser tain the number of deaths which has resulted from the eating of im pure or diseased meat, and for every death from this cause there are many victims of disease. Some times the ailment is obscure' and insiduous, but it is nevertheless there. Sometime ago there was a scare about trichinae which result ed in many people becoming Jews or Mohaminedens whore pork was concerned, but much of the beef which comes from cattle-train L oteoakJ OVERALLS and JUMPERS We carry the largest scock of thest goods to be found, in black, blue and checks at 40 cents to $1.00.

In these days no man can tell whore his butcher gets the meat which is confidingly bought and eaten by his customers. It may be good, or it may not. It is time that tho treatment of cattle, on trainsof transportation and in sheds during the time before they are killed, Bliould be regulated by law, and that overyono concerned in their transportation and care should be required to see that they aro in conditions as nearly healthful as tho difficulties of tho caso allow, A New York young man accepted and wore a 75-cent pair of "half hoes" presented to him by a young woman to whom he was paying some attentions, but afterwards he switched off in the direction of an other girl, and now he is tho de fendant in a $15,000 breach-of-promise action, tho principal evi dence boing tho "socks." Moral but if any young man can't see it ho deserves to bo sued. The gang of robbers officially known as the Pennsylvania legis lature concluded thoir recent orgy of plunder by voting themselves the desks and chairs they had occupied during the session. If the state house and grounds had been divis ible and portable, they would have taken them also. Minnesota bankers, assembled in convention, have denounced the parole of the Younger brothers, but they expressed no disapproval of the frequent pardonof bank-robbing bankers by the. president. t We Trunks, etc. With a veiw to sotting a vexed question, or of leading up to its settlement, Secretary Koot lias called on U'.h oll'ieers of tho various army posts for reports on the effect of tho abolishment of the canteen. These reports are due at tho war department September 1, so that tho secretary may have timo to in spect them carefully before com municating his recommendations to tho congress. It is said that these reports will ho practically unani mous in favor of restoring tho can teen, on the ground that drunken ness, disorderly conduct and deser tions have greatly increased since its abolishment. The country will look with much interest for Secre tary Root's recommendations in tho promises, and for the subsequ ent action of congress thereon. In the meantime the women of the W. C. T. U. aro accumulating evidence in rebuttal that they believe will prevail with congress against the official reports. The hope will pro bably bo a vain ono, as fact is like ly to outweigh sentiment in a mat ter of this kind. Orcgonian. Foley's Honey and Tar for children,safe,sure. No opiates.
