DON'T CARE TO SAVE..
The board of county commissioner of
Clackamas county have awarded the
contract for county printing to the En
terprise at rates now being paid. The
board has no desire to save money for
the taxpayers and the bid of the Courier-Herald
was conveniently "lost" and
on a day of awarding bids could not be
found. As long as the taxpayers sane
4ion this county debt and taxes will in
crease. A conservative estimate of
ithe increase in the county debt since
.the present board took hold is $40,000. .

Now appears Lieut . Graydon, of the
British navy, announcing a turbine en
gine which he promises will take either
a liner or a warship from England to
the United States in three days, using
only a fourth of the, fuel ordinarily
burned on the Atlantic greyhounds.
Mr. Ykmkes, the street railway pro
motor, who is in London, said to a Lon
don Mail reporter the other day : "I do
not know a single great railroad in the
United States which is not OTned ma
terially by English, and I think that
fully one-third of the fire insurance in
the United States is British.!'
Rabhi Hirsch, the famous Jewish
teacher of Chicago, last fall said : "Un
less radical changes are made in the
present form of national government,
four years from now there will be a tre
mendous fight between two great bodies
for the control of the country, The
capitalists and the socialists will be the
parties."
It is claimed by a nurseryman that
the borer can be prevented from doing
his fatal work on peach trees by plant
ing tansy or wormwood at their base, To
the moth which is tho parent of the
borer the olleiisiveness of the smell of
these plants is greater than the desire
to enter the chrysalis state at tho bot
tom of the pach tree.

At other handicrafts are equally well or

For their profilless work last year in
this county the threshing machine men
will be recompensed this year. It is
claimed that an outfit costing about
.$2000 wi 1 in one month thresh 50,000
bushels averaging, for both wheat and
oats, 3 cents a bushel. The expenses
will not be over$500,leaving $1000 as the
gross profits of the owner.of which a per
centage must be considered lost on ac
count of the swindling proclivities of
some tillers of the stubborn glebe.
The old democratic party, as it was
before the election of 1892, can never be
restored to the stage of public affaire.
The revolution of Bryanism has left in
effaceable marks upon it. A reorgan
ized party must be more radical in some
particulars than was the old one if it is
to draw a single vigorous breath of life.
It will naturally be anti-plutocratic,anti-aristocratic,
anti-imperilalist and anti
militarist, witli some socialistic tenden
cies. All the signs of the times indi
cate that such, in a general way, is to be
the character of the opposition to the
party of imperialism, strong central gov
ernment and organized wealth. Spring

The mother of sixteen childien and
intimately associated through fifty years
of married life with the president of t.h
Transvaal, Mrs. Kruger died a prisoner
of war, her husband many thousands
ofmiles away, her children scattered.
her friends dead or maimed or prisoners
like herself, her -home the stronghold of
an enemy. History can never fully re
veal how much the Boer cause owes to
the brave women whose survivors the
British are now herding in the Libby
and Andersonville prisons of South Af
rica. That Mrs. Kruger had four sons,
six sons-in-law and 43 grandsons in the
burgher commandoes is as imoressive a
fact as could be cited to bIiow the stern
resolution of the little republics never
to yield their freedom.
Tub firm of Miller & Lux, which mo
nopolizes the beef supply of San Fran
cisco, and is fighting the labor unions
with all its prodigious power, owns 14,
530,000 acres of land, nearly all of it un
improved and used for grazing. This
vast area is not conceivable to one who
has not traveled through the state. It
equals New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut together.
It is half the size of New York and
thrice that of New Jersey. It is abjut
the size of West Virginia and an eighth
the entire area of California. It is as
large as Greece, four times the size of
Alsace and Larraine, and but little
smaller than Ireland, and one-third the
size of England and Wales together.
There is only one thing that ifenry
Miller, the surviving member of the firm
of Miller & L;ix, becomes nervous over,
and that is discussion of the size of his
holdings.
Tim late Du Maurier, of Punch and
Trilby fame, once drew the picture of a
fashionable drawing room. In one
corner, far away, a young poet of renown
is sitting by the side of a clever young
college girl to whom he is engaged. Two
young girls are chatting in the fore
ground. "I wonder," says one to the
other, "how two such cleyer people
make love and what they are saying to
each other!" Du Maurier adds, "What
they are saying to each other:" He: "If
Dovey should die, what would Lovey
do?" She: "Lovey would die, too." All
this stereoptyped love phraseology has
done duty ever since man and woman
were created, and by the use of it man
has ever taken in woman. Ladio?, be
ware of all this nonsense ; beware of the
tine oratirieal lover. The man who
loves best is the man who ptoves it best
and expresses it worst. Max O'Rell.
Fakis, unless fresh, are hardly fit for
human food. As soon as it has been
laid, the egg begins to deteriorate. Its
calcareous shell is proyided with pores,
through which is soon established a
cross circulal ion of water and microbes.
The water leaves the albumen and
passes to the exterior in the form of va
por, while legions of bacteria enter and
fill the air chamber formed by evapora
tion. This hitter causes the egg daily to
lose, on an average, half a grain of its
weight, We can' assurge ourselves of
this by immening it in a quart of water
containing four ounces of salt. On the
I flltt day, it will descend to the bottom ;
I on the second it will not sink to so great
a depth; on the third, it will remain
near the surface; and, beginning with
the tilth, it will project above the sur
face so much tho more ia proportion aa
it. is older. Such behavior of tho egg in
salt water may, iio to a certain point,
be used as a nutans of control. The
loss of weight would not bo of so much
importance if it did not keep pace with
the entrance of microbes.
RRITM.VS HEIGHT OF GLORY
Tha British government first denied
then evaded and now frankly admi's and
even glories in tho charge that it has
armed tho savage natives of South Af
rica and is using them in its war upon
the Boors, just as it used the savage
redskins in its war upon us a century
and a quarter ago. Furthermore, Mr.
Chamberlain has telegraphed Lord
Kitchener that the Boers are violating
"civilized usage" in summarily shoot
ing any and all savages caught in battle.
For sheer "glory" the war Mr. Cham
berlain and his colleagues are now carry
ing on in South Afiica' surpasses any
thing which even Biitain hasdone in
that line heretofore. It must make
British citizens peculiarly proud of their
country as they see it marching "in the
foremost files of time," burning homes,
robbing non-combatants, "concentrat
ing" women and children to die of dis
ease and seeking to conquer their un-.
conquerable victims by exposing them to
the hideous calamities incident to using
against them the "black beasts" of Zu
Iuland and Matabeleland.
If such an enterprise does not pros
per, then indeed must Britain's queer j
iod of battles" have forgotten all she
has done for him. N. Y. World.

TRUSTS EVERYWIIEBE.
The "trust" is not an American pro
duct. The present tendency toward
combination in manufacture and trade
is world wide. It is the logical and in
evitable result of the impending struggle
for the world's markets. While this
struggle will be fiercest among the three
great commercial powers, England,
Germany and the Unite! States, ths
movement toward captratizUlon of pro
ductive resources is already seen in Austria-Hungary,
Russia, Belgium and
France. The Belgian iron and steel in
dustry is now controllel by a few mine
owners and manufacturers, who have
cansolidated for mutual advantage and
interest. England is already filled with
industrial combines of the first magni
tude, there being hardly a great branch
of industry which is not in some Way af
fected by them. The most gigantic,far
reaching combine, however, is awaiting
the master hand of some one who has a
genius for organization and who his
the tact to break down the British con
servatism in this particular ipdustry.
This is amalgam ttion of the iron and
steel interests of the United Kingdom,
an operation that would have to be pro
jected upon'a scale of tromendous mag
nitude. It is in Germany, however, the most
interesting developments in this direc
tion arc noted. Germany is to become
the most formidable, competitor of the
United States and Great Britain in the
battle for the world's markets. The
solidity and strength of the empire, to
gether with the virility and indefatiga
ble industry of the race combined with
the present policy of developing a great
merchant marine, must make her a
prominent factor in the world's com
merce of the future. She has demon
strated her ability to successfully adopt
every English or American commercial
idea that is worthy of imitation. The
great iron masters and steelmakers of
Germany, under the leadership of the
Krupps, are already forming a formid
able combination, while similar com
bines in tho woolen and cotton indus
tries are Mnpending. It is easy to see
that the efforts of legislatures and agi
tators to check the tendency toward
combination will be impotent in the face
of such a world movement as this, which
is merely preliminary to a great strug
gle for the world's markets. Elmira

Sewing as a business is an exacting and
exhausting occupation. Long hours, fine
work, poor light, unhealthy atmosphere
these are only some of the things
which fret the nerves and hurt the gen
eral health. Often there is a diseased
condition of the womanly organism
which causes backache or headache and
the working of the sewing machine
under such conditions is akin to torture.
