An in me task of increasing the reve-LVn ?, m':t nrnmnnuH. ftnd daring that time there have been two severe winters, tilling a large amount of stock. Aud tak- one rear with another, during the pett fetor, at least one-half the flour aiul nearly all the bacon aud lard that ba9 been consumed has been (hipped in from other counties. Yet there has not been a single business failure, nor has there been on an average of a half dozen fore closures of mortgages a year in the county. There must be some natural ad vantages possessed by a country 'which can pass through such dis advantages and still come out with as good a record as this has. And the only conclusion one can reach is that the natural resources of the country are good, and the advan tages it possesses over reach allots drawbacks in the way of dry sea sons and severe winters. The wealth of this country is comprised in its grass, which affords an al most unlimited range, where flocks and herds can subsist almost with out care or attention from nine to eleven months each year, and bring a handsome annual income to their owners. . Here there arc thousands of acres of free range where stoek can run at will and without expense the greater portion of the year, and all the land the owner need have is a small place where he can raise suf ficient hay to feed his stock through occasional storms. In many lo calities such places can be had merely by taking up the govern ment land, while in others improved land can be bought at from $5 to . $10 per acre. Yet the great major ity of well-to-do immigrants who come to Oregon locate in Willam ette valley and buy land that costs them from $25 to $50 an acre. They invest a fortune in a farm, and after the' get it have to make slaves of themselves in order to make a living. But if they would come to the interior of Oregon, in vest ,a few hundred dollars in land and the rest in stock, they could not only make a living with less work but would also realize Bome profit on their investments. A country that has gone through what this has and come out with all it businessmen whole and its farmers and ranchers making more than a living is certainly one, of the best countries in the world, arid offers abundant inducements to the Lome hunter who is in search of a location where he can make invest ments that are certain to bring him ft good returns. unusually large attendance was present, the matter after having been studdied for f some days by a committee was thoroughly dis cussed in open meetiug, and the result wa3 that the secretary's ideas were unanimously indorsed. Re publicans and democrats took part in the discussion, the last repub lican ever elected governor of Cali fornia presided, but not a single man said a word in behalf of what Reed, McKinley and the other young politicians who are propos ing to read Blaine out of the party assert to be the only orthodox re publican doctrine. Mr. Morrow, Mr. McKenna, Mr. Dellaven and Mr. Vandever will please take notice that when the tariff bill as amended gets back to the house the Chamber of Com merce of San Francisco, without distinction of party, will expect them to support the plan of reci procity. The chamber's request is addressed to all the senators and representatives from the Pacific coast. The republican senators from Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Montana are strong enough, with the help of the democrats, to amend the McKinley bill in accord ance with Mr. Blaine's advice. Al though they do not directly repre sent California they might natur ally be expected on a commercial question to pay some heed to the advice of the leading commercial body of the metropolis of the coast. It is gratifying to see that it is possible for the merchants of this city to act together in a matter vi tally affecting their interests, but complicated to some extent by po litical considerations. If busiriesB and working men generally can once begin to look at the tariff ques tion without party prejudice, Mr. McKinley may as well take to the woods.- icreasing nuei instead" of trying to reduce them. V. It is rather humiliating to the American people to have England say this government shall not persue its former policy in Behring sea, yet we wirll probably have to stand it. since we are not abla to cope with the old country in a war, or even to maintain a respectable i defensive policy. In its infanc' the United States whiped England twice, but now, since we have be come one of the most powerful nations in the world, we are told our naval forces are too weak for us to even attempt to defend our sea coast and Alaskan possessions, apd must submit to England's dicta tions until a navy can be built. Senator Plumb is trying to get the remains of General Grant re moved to Arlington national ceme tery. It seems to us that Grant lead a sufficiently active life to en title him to a peaceful repose in the grave, and Mr. Plumb ought to let the old general's remains rest where they are. Grant Plumb his request and it will soon become fashionable to dig Grant up and re-inter him, and the first thing we know every town that wants to boom itself or its cemetery will be asking for his remains to be laid away for a time in its repository for the dead. Leavenworth to Junction City, a third of the length of the state, without taking his feet from mort gaged ground, except when he crosses a county road or a railroad. A man in Seattle has invented a musical corset. He says it is im possible foMt young man to put his arm around any of his daugh ters' waists without getting a 60ng and dance thrown in, which can I easily be heard in an adjoining room. A farmer in Milton recently drank three bottles of Jaraaca gin ger to drive away the "blues." He afterwards went to sleep in the barn and a cow laid down on him and broke two of his ribs, and he has not been able to do any work since. Athena Republican. Any man can in the Willamette valley, with sixty acres of fairly good land, properly divided up and persistently and intelligently cul tivated, make fully enough to sup port an ordinary family. Nearly all our farmers are skimming over too much ground, and wasting too much that ought to be utilized. Dallas Itemizer. Farmers of Oregon have cause to feel in good spirits this year. The wheat crop is heavy and the prices are advancing. A grain dealer of Albany says that the wheat of Linn county is of as good quality as ever harvested. The grain is plump and is free from wild onts or weeds. 7 V -I Vlt lOi the first of attended to. Offic First door north of Dew Drop Saloon, Pritieville. Charges Keasomable.

The unfort unate victims are sent there to be confined from one to ten years each, but so great is the suffering from Congress recently created nine fat offices, for what purpose no one has yet explained, unless it is to give employment to hungry poli ticians who could not be otherwise provided for. They are known as "appraisers of custom?," and F. N. Shurtleff, of Fortiand, is one of the . ! fortunates to whom the new plum has fallen. The house has taken at least one precautionary step. That is the passage of the national bankruptcy bill. The nation will have to go through bankruptcy if the present extravagance is kept up another year. LINN W. WOODS' SAlsOO, MAIN STREET.

Sonflthi mi grants hunting in the mountains between the McKenzie and Camp creek recently, found the Winchester rifle that belonged to the lost hoy, Thomas Judkins. It will be remembered, says the Al bany Herald, that Judkins never returned from a hunting trip sev eral yeras ago, and that his remains were alterwards found. A man with him also soon after disan- peared, and it was thought that, he made away with Judkins and left with the gun. It was filled with cartridges. While Klamath county is boast ing of her beautiful grain raised at an altitude of 4000 feet above the sea, Goose Lake farmers will soon harvest a crop, that for quality, cannot be surpassed in the world, and grown from land over 5000 feet above the sea. When it comes to altitude and magnificent distances,. ijaae county lanes tne cane, ana her hay, grain,-vegetables and fruit crop, will all compare favorably with the best and most favored sections of the country.
