OREGON CITY, OCTOBER 12, 1894, BUSINESS VS. POLITICS, One of the most noticeable of all tlie tilings republican organ Bay of the tariff question is the ever prevalent string of inconsistencies. One of the latest is that the new tariff law will not be of any benefit to consumers for the price of articles on which the tariff bai been reduced will remain the same. In the face of this they will say that manufacturers must reduce wages in order to meet the lower prices at which they will have to sell their products In order to compete with the foreign im ported articles. Then many manufac turers, they say, will be ruined, and driven from business because they will not be able to meet the reduced prices in consequences of the heavy importa tions. All of which show that these organs are driven to the dire necessity of clutching at any stray straw that may be drifting along. As an illustration of what is here said, we refer to the great and good John Wanamalter, who was in Harrison's cabinet, and who was always full and loaded with the above I ycr.i; itencies, and wbo, recently, has bneu Buying that the consumers will not receive any benefits from the passage of the late tariff law. Join is selling dry -gttO(la.now. He runs one of the largest business bonnes in Philadelphia. lie is a unique advertiser of his business and has a keen eye to profits. Here is what he said in one of his advertise ments when it was known the house would pass the bill, says the Albany Democrat: "We accept the situation as cheerfully as we can and as rapidly as possible sink everything to the price level made by the approaching law. Doing this radical thing establishes at once safe ground under our customers' feet. To pare pieces off a little here and there and crowd on our customers, at least loss to us, the large stock sure to be on hand with a business as great as this, i b contrary to our sense of duty to our most excellent and valued patrons. We pocket the loss whatever it is, and reach rook-bottom at once. This every day fresh-printed list of down fallen prices includes many things hard knocked by business difficulties." Then follows announcements of goods that sold at $12, $10 and f 8 be would now sell at 12.50. Other goods that sold at 12 cents per yard reduced to 8 cents. These are but illustrations of a long list of re ductions. In fact, the new tariff bill, according to the Wanamaker advertise ment, will prove an unestimable bleua ing to the masses of people throughout the country. IN EASTERN OREGON. The reception accorded the Oregon Press Association by the people Pendleton could hardly have been more generous. When the visitors had formed a conception, necessarily imperfect, of the great possibilities of the Inla nd Empire, to which the mounds of sacks of wheat bore witness, they must per chance realize the urgent necessity to that important section of our great state for cheaper connection with the com merce of the world. Think of wheat 23Ji cents a bushel, and freight to Portland 1. cents! Is not Buch a situation most trying? The misery of it all is that the rolling prairies of Umatilla county will raise nothing but wheat, unless they be supplied with water either by irrigation or artesian wells. The farmers In debt must nec cessarily go bankrupt unless the money londers are lenient, for under present conditions there is no more profit in raising wheat in Umatilla county than hops in the Willamette valley. The th iving town of Milton, in the Wulia WUJ Vji)1t, 'lv the problem of materl. 1 wollara Ah; V. (stern Oregon The diversified farming which its situ ation makes possible has rendered its population independent of the wheat licit. The grapes, peaches and alfalfa ol this favored spot are equal to any produced by California, and its corn equals that of Illinois. And such ap pies! But the hospitality of the Milton people exceeds the fertility of the soil of their valley, as all the visiting editors will abundantly testify. The steady increase of population in Eastern Oregon which keeps pan passu with its increase in productions, should impress on our state legislature and on congress the urgency of the need for re moval of the obstructions to navigation in the Columbia or for a portage railway around them. This need has long ex isted and too long has it been trifled with, at a loss running into millions. Tin expansion in other regions of the world of the Industry of growing cotton and the rapidly in creasing imports by the United States of the foreign staple are one of the most conclusive proofs of the benefit to com merce and manufactures of untrarameled international trade. In 1889 the Im ports of Egyptian cotton amounted to a little less than 3,000,000 pounds. In 1803 they had reached the quantity of 28,000,000 pounds. The Egyptian staple Is valued bere because its unusual length permits it to be spun into soft yarns. For that purpose it is mixed with domestic cotton and the yarns are nsed for hosiery and other knit fabrics. Indeed, the increase in the use of Egyptian cotton has been coincident with the extraordinary development of knit goods manufacture In the United States. Simultaneously a demand has appeared for Peruvian cotton, of which, in 1880, this country took only 2773 pounds, while in 1803 the imports amounted to .1411 ilia nnnn.U Ti.u ! in 6ber in many particulars rewmblea'n. .! h . ,i ?

It should not be over looked, says the Albany Democrat, that both are mugwump papers and both opposed him on two former occasions when he was candidate for the same office, and, notwithstanding their op position, he was elected. Tin number of hopyards that have beon left nnnlcked in this and the counties south Is numerous. As hop are now but 6 to 0,'w cents a pound, and the cost of raising them is 8 cents, thoso growers that saved their crop are not much better off than those that did not. ON THE SILETZ. Life at the Reservation The Indian Hoarding School--A Jlcautiful, Fertile Valley. THE BUILDING STONE INDUSTRY AT PIONEER AT THE AGRICUL TURAL COLLEGE. The Indians on the Biletn reservation have made such a liberal use of their privilege to grab land in severalty that the cnoice tracts along me streams nre all in their noscnflion. Along tho Salmon river and Morris (Devil) lake the map at the agency shows every acre is covered, the hills excepted. A string of locations extends along the seashore from the southeast corner oi the reservation to near Siletz bay. Everv chunkv old snuaw and every scro' fulous Indian kid has a claim. Not one is omitted. When the unallotted lands in the reservation have been de clared open for settlement, only careful cruisinu- will determine where the de sirable unallotted tracts are situsted, as lofty, fern-clad hilis are so numerous and oi such vast extent in Lincoln county that the region marked on the aeencv man of the reservation as "un- surveyed, mountains," embraces a large part of the same. The Bileiz valley contains thousands of acres of rich, level bottom land. The plain contained in the horseshoe bend of the river be tween the ferry and the rise to the south on which stand the Indian school and boardinehouse, includes a thousand fer tile acres, subdivided into the agency farm and the farms of several Indians The usual Indian farmhouse is a two story frame with an L. The house is only a bit of civilized varnish, for within the squaw keeps house Indian fashion, dirt for seasoning at each meal; but, in all candor, it must be admitted that occasionally one finds a neat Indian housewife. The Siletz Indians, like their brethren at other reservations, are corrupted by syphilis and scrofula. In short, they are a diseased, nasty lot, and it is their unrestrained contact with white toughs that has made them so. Years ago, be fore they had been contaminated, the Siletz Indians were far more numerous. But it is the old story. The deaths have of late exceeded the births, two years ago the disproportion Doing .'10 and last year 10. The present agency doctor hopes to still further reduce the pro portion of deaths. He believes that the best sanitary measure for these Indians would be to scatter them, in order that there might be no further intermixture of their diseased blood. The coddling they receive from Uncle Sam is not pro motive of strong manhood. The agency school, though the number of pupils is not a 100, demands as much attention and intelligent care as both of the Oregon City schools. The Indian children are boarded, clothed and in struoted in the common English branches, and are under the care and constant supervision of a resident physi cian, all at government expense. Whether from choice or not, Mother Hubbard calico dresses predominate among the larger girl pupils. The rations served are wholesome and abundant. Under a former agent, who was recklessly stingy and fastidiously religious, the young Indians were so strongly urged onward in the narrow way of "fasting and prayer" that they remarked that although there was halo muck-a muck there was Aiuu J tins Mister Indian prefers hiyu grub at every meal. When the personelle of the agency school is complete, it consists ol a super intendent, two teachers, a seamstress and a cook. The salaries paid are fairly good but the duties involved in taking care oi juvenile red men are not pleas' ant. An Indian agent is governor the little domain embraced in the reser vation, and his power is absolute within the legal limits prescribed by the authorities at Washington. Life at the Siletz reservation is of the hum-drum sort, but the Ashing is always good The trout in the river that are waiting for a bite are delicious. Their meat is yellow like that of the Lake Michigan trout. With a barrel of Hour, a patch of potatoes, cabbage and onions, and a few sides of bacon, one can live like a king on the banks of the Siletz. Who wants any higher living than fat trout three times a day if Huh makes brains, statesmen and scholars should be in the majority among the Siletz Indians. If tiiev are tlinv hiita their talents. The object of the school is to bring out the latent ellect of the fish diet during countless generations Locations on the unallotted renerva tion lands will be made under tlia homestead law, plus ft. 50 per acre, or under the townsite law. At Pioneer, a station on the Oregon Pacific, a quarry of light sandstone has been opened from which shipments are being made weekly to San rrancisco, where it will form the front of a tall building of about 300 feet in length. Shipments of the stone have also been made to other points and the active demand has prompted the owners to take steps for enlarging their operations. uranite ol a coarse variety has also been found in immense deposits in Lincoln county, but. the hardness of this rock will prevent its use for building purposes. At (Jorvallis the writer visited (he gricultural col lew for the purpose of taking a look at the silos. 1 tie y are built within the barn, two ol tliem, side by side, sgainut one of the outer wa Is. and are about 1,1 feet square, the height of the wall. Last winter, said one of the farmhands, the t wo silos, containing about 110 tons of en allege, supplied the main sustenance to 30 head of cows, s leers and young stock, the same being supplemented ly oie dry feed daily. Ensilage keeps best when put up slop ping wet. It must be thoroughly tramped down in the silos or bins, anil when they are tilled, it must be covere d with about half a foot in thickness of chopped straw . Green corn has been found to tie moat suitable, run through a feed cutter. The silos must be air tight er the stuff will spoil, and it is necessary, therefore, to cover the inner wall of matched lumber witli a coat of coal tar. If the wall is not strong enough to sustain the great pressure, the air will be let in and the ensilage converted into rotting vegetation. J. W.

Exhibit that Proclaim the Won derful Fertility of Our Noil. Saturday, the Wind Up, Wat a Holiday at Marguim. Grind The aggregate displays tills year at the Ilutte Creek Agricultural Fair were not as large as In some former years, but they were none the less highly creditable to the exhibitors. The 20 pound beets, large rutabagas, enormous squashes and pumpkins, ripe ears of variotiea of sweet and field corn, apples, potatoes, wheat and many other products of the field, orchard and gar den, told in eloquent language that the farmers of Butto Creek have fruitful soil and know its capabilities. The number of exhibits would have been greater had not Friday been stormy and rainy. Notwithstanding, never, previously, were there so many exhibitors as this year. The gross re ceipts wore about $.'100, which cover all expenses and Icavo a nest egg for next year's fair. The ladies' display of needle and fancy work, art, preserves, bread, cake, pie, butter, etc., was good. The ex hibits of beautiful needlework demon strated the benefits conferred on a com munity by such a fair, through the do siretoexcell which It excites. Given an object, such as competing with others (or a prize as reward for superior excel lence, and there is something to work for. The competition of a fair stimulates one to do his best. There is, therefore, no institution that the people of the southern part of this county should fos ter with greater care and zeal than the Butte Creek Agricultural Fair. The Mount Angel band played at in tervals during the continuance of the fair, which terminated on Saturday eve ning with a grand b.tll. Premiums were awarded as follows : DIVISION A-HOHSFji.
