Tut tinanciul irisis has acted Iu some measure as a boomerang for home Indus tries, vt nen tbe country was proserous and money plentiful among farmers, many articles of food consumption were purchased in the city markets that could have been produced at home. It was nothing unusual to see farmers come into Oregon City and carry home eastern hams and eastern lard a few years ago. Some of them even pur chased butter at the stores while their cows were running comparatively wild in the woods. Hut the panic is teaching them lev sons of economy and thrift that will prove as wealth producers in the future. As a class the farmers of Clackamas county are I now producing their own butter and meat. ; KIM KIT OK T1IK rutsB. The Insurance war, with a devtl-mav-cnre slushing of rates by nearly all companies, reach Corvallis Friday afternoon, says the Times, The signal for it to begin was the arrival or something like twenty telegram to the Corvallis agents of various compa nies, authorising them to reduce the premi ums on policies twenty per cent., and so soon as the news became public a revision ol policies began. All day Saturday promi nent agents were kept busy changing poll ciessnd refunding percent, of the tin- earned premium, by people holding poll cles, and a.ixlous to get their Insurance as low as possible.

Says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: ' As a means to secure the prestige of the town it was thought necessary to start some enter prise of a magnitude and character suffi cient to demonstrate that there was the making here ol a city. The most feasible suggestion was the building of a railroad line to open up the coal fields lying east of the city , and then but in the first stages of development. But hopeless as it seemed, there was magic in a co-operation which en-. listed every single inhabitant ol the city in the undertaking. When the railroad com pany was organized not a man who lived in the city refused to contribute toward its con struction.

The work never stopped until a railroad was built, equipped and in running condition to the Newcastle and Itenlon coal mines, and anew industry of great importance, tribu tary to the city, w as created." This is the species of enterprise and unity of purpose that has made Seattle one of the great cities ol the Northwest amidst the most lormiuanie opposition, and with no i resources but the waters of Puget Sound on one side and vast forests of timber and de posits of coal on the other. Oregon City has never reached out with an energetic, united and well organized eflort to secure business or develop the resources of the ad jacent country. In that section of country contiguous to Wilsonville, Stafford and Pleasant Hill, live the most prosperous farmers in the Willamette valley, where comfortable dwellings, large painted barns, good lences and well tilled farms, are the rule. The most convenient market ami trad ing center for these people is Oregon City; they come here to pay their taxes, and oc casionally to attend court. But the great obstacle in the way is the lack ol good roads leading to that section of country. The residents of all this portion of Clacka mas county claim that they would prefer doing business in this city, but the roads are m such bad condition that they drive to Portland, as Multnomah county takes espe cial care in improving the roads leading for miles out of the city of Portland to secure the trade of other sections. II Oregon City bad some of " the Seattle idea,'' they would gee that there were good passable roads, not only to this section, but to other portions of the county, where the trade is going to Portland on account of road facilities. making butter for conditions. market under adverse The importations during the first six months or the Wilson tarilf law were$ ;'7, 000.000 ill value against fM.OOO.OOO in the corresponding six months of the last year under the McKinley tari'l law, showing an increase ol $1,000,000 worth a week of for eign productions added to the stock against which American manufacturers and work men must compete.

In the practice of this re gard the Salvation Army steins to be away iu advance of the other host. When a minister of the gospel secures a large audience by questionable sensational methods, it lends to lower the estimation ol religion in the minds of the public, and the Oregonian gives the pastor of Kmanuel church, where the Ibirrunt murders were committed, the following hard kick: If the congregation of that tainted church in San 1 Francisco have not sense and decency j enough to close it anil put an end to the j ghastly travesty of worship now going on there, it ought to be closed bv the police. ....... j ne cnurcn was packed like a summer gar den Sunday to hear the man Gibson com-1 pare himself to Christ in a sermon bearing I I oy inueiuio on tne recent tragedy.

It is a doctrine tUat must be practiced as well as preached in order to achieve good and lasting results. At one of the meetings held to eflect tins organization a few days ago a manufacturer of Oregon woolens can vassed the men present and found that but one of the number had on a suit of clothe made of cloth manufactured in this state. Oregon boasts of the superior quality and great quantity of its wool product, anil yet only one member of the manufacturers' us- i sociation, which advises people to " patron ize home industry," follows this advite in the matter ol personal attire. Oregon bus wonderful natural resources, and much that is consumed in various necessaries of life could he produced here with profit if the people would only be content to use home products. Let all work in harmony in ad vocating the patronage of home industry, and the beneficial results that will accrue to the state at large will create a prosperous condition that w ill bring happiness and con- teiitinent to even the most humble home iu all our fair state.
