OREGON CITY, JUNE 21, 1895.
A COUNTY POOR FARM.
The county court baa for some time
bad under consideration the idoa of
; aecurinz a suitable piece of land for a
v poor farm and lias about decided to pur
; chase a small tract of land near this city,
t It Is thought by the court that a small
f tract would be best as it would require
less money to purchase and it can be
added to at any time In the future ; that
it should be near town so that physicians
could more easily adminintor to the
I sick and invalid paupers, and it would
: also save transportation of those unable
V to walk a greater distance, If, for in'
; stance, the farm was 2) or 25 miles out
' (where 100 acres could be purchased as
cheaply as 10 near the county seat.)
For the information 'of those who are
I not posted on tbe pauper expenses of
the county the editor of the Coi'rikr
' has found from the records that it cost
this county $372.50 during April and
$399.15 during May to keep and care for
its poor. In April 27 persons drew
money as or for paupers which shows
that the number of same in the county
is not far from 30 as a few persons draw
for two, making an average of over $12
for each. These sums include clothing,
medicines, care and keeping, but not the
physician's fee which amounts to about
$15 per month more. The Slay account
includes $92.75 paid for railroad tickets,
which would reduce that month's ox
penses to $300.40. At May term of the
court the allowance for "regular"
paupers was reduced $18 per month.
To show the cost of paupers In Mult
nomah the following report is published :
The report of the poor farm for April
shows a daily average number of in
mates of 103; 17 persons were admitted,
and 29 were discharged. The bill for
the month was $913.27. May 1st in
mates were enrolled as follows. Males,
native born, 32 ; males, of foreign na
tivity, 45; leniales, native, 8; foreign,
0; children. 4; average expense per
inmate per day, 20.7 cents. The bill for
April is much large than the average
monthly bill, by reason of a nev farm
wagon having to be purchased, which
cost $135. ,
It will be seen by this report that 103
paupers cost $8.09 per month each, but
it is doubtful if this county, with fewer
poor, can keep them for less, but such
may be the case.
. . The following from the Roseburg
Review shows that the poor farm in that
county is not a complete success:
The Review contends still that it would
be much cheaper for the county court
jT-'TiP ' 10 Pay 'or boardinii the half dozen
' -.', paupers kept on the poor farm, and then
dispose of the farm. Tbe proceeds of
j.. .. v. the sale would reduce the interest hear
. ing deot several thousand dollars, and
there would also be an. actual saving in
- the expense ot keeping the paupers
now costing probably a year, ex
elusive oi tne use ot a valuable tarm
A communication from a responsible
citizen, who is well acquainted with the
facts in the case, is published In another
column and is worthy of peraual.
Among the many quixotic Ideas ad
vancod for thti convalescence ot our
pockelbooks Is that of Mr. Ltibln,
wholesale commission merchant of
San Francisco . Briefly, he would foster
agriculture and shipping by export and
tonnage bounties, to be paid by those
who did not own either farms or ships
France endeavored to increase her far1
elgn commerce by paying tonnage
bounties, but after a few years found
the experiment to be both a costly and
miserable failure. French ships would
not increase any fnstor than French com
merce and the undue increase of tonnage
which resulted seriously dopreised the
shipping business. In Russia, Ger
man), France, Holland and Belgium
thel production of beet sugar has been
stimulated by the payment of export
bounties, and now, after some years of
this experiment, it Is found that the
bounty system lias demoralized the
beet sugar industry, and if the govern
ments of those respective counties had
foreseen what the outcome would have
been, it is not probablo that they would
have entorod Into a worrying scheme
which has made sugar cheaper in
England than anywhere else In the
world, although In England beet sugar
manufacturers are permitted by the
government to bustle for themselves.
Mr. Lubin's panacea Is simply the re
publican protective tariff carried to the
extreme of wild abiurdity.

Pauper Expenses.
Editor Oregon Courier:
Why will the county persist in the
expenditure of money for the support of
tho county poor after the present cus
tom. It costs our county in round
numbers $230 per month. This estimate
below the actual ligures for the sup
port of the county poor.
The expenditure of a few thousand
dollars for a county farm would from a
financial standpoint result In a saving
of at least $150 per month or $1800 a
year. Two years' saving would more
than pay lor a farm and after that the
taxpayers would be relieved of a part of
their burdens. From a humane stand
point the farm is much to be desired.
Hie average care of the poor and tne
welfare of the unfortunates would be
better. Every taxpayer should use his
nfluence and voice to have this much-
needed result brought about.
DON'T STOP TOBACCO.
One of the arguments of the gold
monometahsts is that there should be
no coinage of silver except by interna1
tional agreement. After tbe 13 colonies
bad achieved their independence they
did not seok advice in Europe as to the
form of government this vast and thinly-
settled county should have. Portland
Sun.
Circumstances alter cases. In 1770,
when the colonies declared their inde
penuance of King (Jeorge, commence
was, comparatively, In its infancy, and
the city of Baltimore was, in a business
sense, thousand of miles farther from
St. Louis than, to-day, New York is
from London. There were no railroads,
no steamboats, no telegraphs and the
price of American wheat was not fixed
In Liverpool for the country had none
to export. The colonies had only a
surplus of Indians, torics and contliieu
tul currency. The world then did not
even dream of international trade as it
exists to-day, with all Us advantages
and disadvantages over its condition at
that time. We cannot, by an act of con
gress, for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at 10 to 1, or by any other
similar act, rendered the United states
commercially and financially indepen
dent of the rest of mankind, except a t a
vast sacrifice to our selves. We have
bad more than enough of the hard times
and can't afford the experiment. We
would, in Mr. Hamlet's words, rush
from the evils that we have into others
that we know not of.
Several times a week these days one
may read in the daily papers of wages
being increased In various lines and
localities. Such pieces, of news were
very scarce during the Harrison admin
istration. Tben wage reduction was
tbe rule. Wages did not go down then
because Mr. Harrison was president;
they are not on the rise now because the
democrats have control. The great
business collapse was then beginning;
now normal conditions are slowly re
turning. But it Is apparent, says the
Welcome, that the pet policy of the re
publican party did not make or main
tain good times ; nor has such changes
as have been made in tariff laws pre-
vented the slow and natural return of
better times.
How to Cure Yourself While Using t.
The tobacco habit grows on a man
until his nervous system is seriously af
fected, imparing health comfort and
happiness . To quit euddontly is too se
vere a shock to the system, as tobacco,
to an inveterate user becomes a stimu-
ant that Ins system continually craves.
Baco-C'uro is a scientific cure for the to
bacco habit, in all its forms, carefully
compounded after the formula of an
eminent Berlin physician who has used
in his private practice since ltf 2, with
out a failure, purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You can use

A Large Irrigation riant.
Among tho irrigation plants in course
of construction iu Kmimis probnbly the
most cxteiiRivo is that of Mr. G. M.
Munger of Eureka, Greenwood county.
Ho is constructing a reservoir which
will covor about 160 acres with wator.
This isdono by building a dnm 3,800
foot long nnd 88 foot high at its greatest
lioight This, as described by The Irri
gation Fnrmor, will catch the storm
waters from a large area nnd will be
used primarily for tho irrigation of a
COO acre orchnrd now just beginning to
bear. The water will be raised by two
compound duplex steam pumps, tho wa
tor cylinders of which nro 13 by IS
inches. Each pump has 10 inch suction
and 8 inch discharge These pumps will
elovate tho water to a height of 05 foot,
delivering it on tho highest part of Mr.
Hunger's farm. Tho estimated cost of
the plant complete, including ditches
for distribution of tho water, is 1 15, 000.
P. D. Armour, the butcher, or Chicago
who has been losing 17 cents on each
steer slaughtered, has just obtained a
controlling interest in $17,COO,000 worth
of street railways, says the Albany
Democrat. If be keeps on losing 17 cents
on each steer be will soon own all tl.e
street railways of the U. 8.
Cutting Clover For Seed.
A correspondent of tho Iowa Home-
Btcud writes: I took your advice lust
year with a SO acre nold of common rod
clovor whioli I wanted for seed. It had
boon sown on old land. I pastured until
June 15 and then let it grow up. Had
throe bushols of good seed per aore. Au
othor port of tho eamo Hold that was cut
for hay had no sood.
Tho Journal referred to says: This is
qnito a suggestive bit of experience.
The impression is quite common among
farmers that tho first crop of common
rod clovor does not produce seed. This
is an entire mistake. The only reason
why the early blooms fail to produce
soed is alack of insect fertilization. Mr.
Long pastured bis clover to the 15th of
June, after which tho stock was taken
off. By the time tho bloom appeared
there was an abundance of opportunity
lor insect fertilization.
It is estimated that the Standard oil
trust made 150,000,000 by the recent
jump in the price of petroleum. The
trust can therefore send a strong lobby
to Washington next winter to increase
the dnty on their product.

Dear Sirs I have been a tobacco fiend for many years, ami during the past two years
have .inoketl fifteen to twentv cigars regularly every day. My whole nervous system became
affected, until my physician told me I must keep up the use of tobacco for the time being, at
least. I tried the so-called "Keelcy-t'iire," "No-To-Hac," and various other remedies, but
without success, until I accldently learned of your "llaeo-Curo." Three weeks ago to-day I
consider myself completely cured; I am In perfect health, and the horrible craving for
tobacco, which everv Inveterate smukcr fully appreciates, has completely left mo. Icon
aider your "Baco-Curo" simply wonderful, and can fully recommend it.
Yours very truly, O. W. HORNICK.

Last year's demand for our Leader was
bo large that we were unable to manufac
ture them as fast as they were ordered.
This year we have one mammoth factory
that manufactures nothing but this line,
and we are making this boot in such
immense quantities that we are able to
produce a much better boot.
We have many new improvements in
this line: first, it is made of heavy gen
uine Dongola, solid leather sole and inner
sole; second, it has a leather sock lining,
which no other but a high-priced boot
has ; third, it has a back-stay ; fourth, as
much care is taken in selecting this stock.
and in making, as in our higher-priced
goods; fifth, we not only warrant but we
guarantee every line to be just as repre
sented. The above cut is an exact copy
