WILL CATTLE RAISING PATT The outlook for cattle raisinp is not dis coaraging as many think it is, or at least not as bad as it has been Tor the past few jears. There being no more great ranges to stock with cattle, and the demand con stantly increasing with the growth of tbe country, the chances for the farmers who are able to handle only a limited number of cattle, are constantly growing better. The man that has a good beef steer two or three years hence will realize a handsome price for it and find it one of the best paying pro ducts of his farm. On this subject the Prai rie Farmer, one of the best posted agricul tural papers in the United States, has tbe following: Cattle raising in the United States should always be profitable in the future, although - av ith other thine prices will fluctuate. In tbe immediate future it is certain iu be pratitable. Several reasons may be assigned in support ol this view. First, the capacity for the ranges to produce cannot be greatly increased, as they are now carrying about all the animals that the pastures grown upon them wilt properly maintain, and range pastures cannot easily be improved as those can which are located in arable sections. Second, during recent years there has been a decline in tbe number of the really good meat-producing animals grown outside of the ranges. These have been sup- . planted by animals kept for dairy uses. When the breeding stocks are thus reduced they cannot be quickly increased again, as as is the case with swine and also with sbeep. And third, it is at least questionable if tbe increase of beef cattle in this coun try is keeping pace with the increase of pop ulation. Tbe home market may be expected to increase, therefore, until a time will come when it will probably absorb all which is grown for beef. But yet it should be borne in mind tbat at a certain season of the year cattle may fetch a low price. When the bulk of the range cattle reach tbe market, prices cannot be dear. But cattle finished on the range can never compete with those finished in the yard or stall at certain seasons of tbe year, more especially those of late winter and early spring. Here then is a season at which good, well finished cattle, such as are denominated prime and extra prime, should bring good prices in all the future, as the borne demand for this class of beef will con tinually increase with the increase of the population, whatever may be the nature of tbe foreign demand. Tbe farmer, therefore, who turns his attention to cattle raising should look well to the character of the breeding ol the same. He should aim at the production of prime animals, and the prices will not be disappointing. THE BUREAU OF ROAD INQUIRY. The rote of the law and order convention Tuesday evening was the largest ever cast at a municipal convention In Oregon l ny while the enthtisiant and harmony that prevailed was but another evidence of the Interest taken by the cltuen ol Oregon i ny t txtiirtm' ill milnroenietit of law. The convention was made up of the better ele ment of the city and embraced a large per cent of the leading citiieus. Us ilt'lllier harartrriied bv moderation ; no extreme or radical measure wereconsid ered or entertained. The expressed idea was that there is need for a cleaner munici pal government and hii enforcement of the ordinances now in fotve, ami its candidates were chosen with that end In view. The candidates are all representative citi lens, men whose public and private lives are clean, and who by long ears of resi dMiicA in the eitv are known to be men of integrity who will discharge their duties faithfully and efficiently.. 'l'lie.v are all property owners and tax-payers in the city, and we may expect at their handsa careltii, conservative administration of the altairs of Oregon City. Thk failure of the State Insurance Com pany is another proof that it pays to be hon est in business matters. There was a time when the Stale practically controlled the farm and residence insurance in Oregon, but the employment of dishonest agents and unscrupulous adjusters has brought the company into such disrepute that for the last few vears there has been a steady decline in its business. Had its business been kept up to what it was eight or ten years ago it could easily have tided over its present troubles; but the managers were not satistied with reasonable profits their success appearing to turn their heads, and they began to insure old log barns and shacks ol houses for three or four times their value, and then when a loss occurred a shrewd adjuster paid what he saw lit to the dishonest dupe, who, like the company, went in to get something for nothing, but lacked the brains to win. Had the manage ment of the company been in as honest bands as it now is, it would be, instead of a hopeless wreck, one of the strongest compa nies on the Coast, and would be an institu tion tbat every citiien in Oregon could take pride in. Tbe Ektkrfrisi wishes Manager Giltner success in his etlorta to revive the corpse, for he bas a hard task; he should have taken the case ten years sooner. "Ktkknal vigilance Is the price of liberty-" and it Is also the price of law and or der. If the belter element in Oregon City expect lo win in the present contest they must be vigilant and have the courage to hack up their convictions. M'lKlT OK THK PRESS. Olving the Indiana full cltixeimhip with freedom from tribal restraint and govern ment control, is not, it appears, giving the best of results to either the Indians or the white taxpayers in the districts in which the reservations were situated. The follow ing protest is from the McMiniivllle Tran script and is self explanatory i It was a line thing for the government lo unload its Indian wards onto the districts in which the reservations are situated; but it is tough on the taxpayers. As it was when the Indian was an Indian, nothing more, for any triv ial violation he was taken More the Indian court, had his trial and justice was meted out to bun, without expense to anyone. Hut now lor every grievance complaint is made in the " whit man's court," and the taxpayers have the burden to bear. It Is no wonder, then, that Yamhill and Polk conn ties raise a kick on the status. Our jail has three Indians that must be fed and cared for during live months, besides the costs to Iw incurred In trial fees, etc., while Polk has been feeding one the past live months. We believe that tli Indians should be put right hack into their former condition. It will lie belter for them and better for the people at large. NOTES AND COMMEKTS. Already the statement is being circulated that tbe law and order ticket is pledged to and was nominated for the express purpose of making Oregon City a prohibition town; the idea being to draw ot! the conservative, temperance vote from its support. The Estibprisk can state truthfully that nei ther the candidate nor their supporters en tertain or expect to carry out such ideas. If tticos nr r elect they will treat the sa loons as other business houses of the city, and only demand that they obey the ordi nances now in force, which are rigid enough to suit all except possibly some radical temperance man. Wbat tbe law and order league does expect of its candidates when elected is that the disorderly saloen will be made to observe the laws, and that mi nors will be kept out of tbe saloons, gam bling dens suppressed, and prostitution be carried on less boldly. These are demands that every man who has a family and who believes in the preservation and sanctity ol the borne, can and will support. The Lutheran (lenerul Council, recently convened at Easton, Pennsylvania, repre sents one of the largest of the many branches itijo which the Lutherans of this country are divided. All told, they num bered in IS; in nearly one million and aiiiar ter, or very nearly as many as the total membership ol the various divisions of the Presbyterian family. Thus the Lutherans are fourth in numerical strength among the Protestant denominations of the United States, only the Methodists, llaptists and Presbyterians exieeding them, in total membership. They are more than twice as many as the Episcopalians and as the Cengregationalists. The doctrines of I.u theranism generally are embodied in the Augsburg Confession and other standards, and justification by faith alone is the cardi nal article of its creed. It rejects the tran substantiation of the Roman Church, yet holds tbat " In the holy supper there are present with the elements, and are received sacramentaily andsupernaturally, the body and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ." Argonaut. The Rev. W. Carlile, an English rector, has just issued the remarkable statement that he has made arrangements lor the safe cus tody of bicycles while the riders are attend ing his services.

To Tin KniToHi The accusation of " se crecy" in th method by which the Reform league chose Its ticket for the coming city election, made by the so-called " Independ ent'' paper, perhaps calls for a plain state ment, that the order loving people may not ho deceived. The league found much dull cully In obtaining men to take the positions who could be entrusted lo enforce the laws. They found plenty of men who could be trusted, but they would not take the posi tions. They found plenty of men who would take the positions, even anxious for them, but they could not he trusted; and so a careful search was madeiind the search was not headed hy a brass band. It would perhaps have been better to have followed the me'hods of the saloon politicians, anil kept the names a secret and run In a gang of heelers, Aliimpeded the convention with a cut and dried plan, and rushed the ticket through. The league prelerrrd a more hon orable method, and frankly p lined tin ticket before the coiiveiitlon at its opening, with a simple statement thai every man oi the ticket could he entrusted lo enforce the laws. There was so little secrecy about their action that they allowed the names oi the ticket lo be made public several da. before the convention was called. The la abiding people, will rucogni this crv oi "secrecy" as a trick of the saloon polill clans." . E. Kkhiiin. Oliver Wendell Holmes Said: "It iu hotter to be (seven ty years young than forty years old." Do you wis!) to keep that dear wife of yours youthful, and her hrow free from the wrinkle of vexation, huy her a "Gold Coin" cooking stove. Every stove warranted to do perfect work. Trices are rensonahle. W. A. PUTROW, Agent, Near the Court House. It may not be generally known that the United States government is aiding the cause of good roads, but snrh is a fact. In March, 1M)3, congress approved an act es tablishing, in connection with the depart ment'of agriculture at Washington, a branch department known as the Bureau of Road Inquiry. The bureau according to tbe pro visions of the act, has four branches, an fol lows: 1. To make inquiries in regard to the systems of road management in the United States. 2. To make investigation in regard to the best methods of road making. . To prepare didactic publications on this subject suitable for publication. 4. To assist agricultural colleges in dis seminating information on this subject. This bureau has as its chief the noted en gineer and inventor, Oen. Roy Stone, of New York city. Gen. 8tone is devoting great energy to his work and already the bureau iB exerting a very wide influence. Bosti comment has been indulged in on what was supposed to be tbe excessive bills of the street commissioner against the city That bis charges are not exorbitant can easily proven by examining the itemized bill filed each month with the recorder, which is open to inspection at all times. Mr. Babcock is paid by the day and only for the time tbat he actually is employed on street work. Tbe excess on his work is for men and teams hired by him and which be properly accounts for. It is only as a matter of convenience for the men that the warrant is drawn in Mr. Bibcock's name, as tbey are saved the bother ol finding a buyer, and a large warrant does not sutler tbe discount tbat a small one does. The Salem Statesman, which has the merited honor of being, next to the Oregon ian, tbe best daily in Oregon, bas the fol lowing to say regarding the getting out of a daily paper in Oregon City : " The Oregon City Enterprise, always, a good weekly says the question is often asked why it does not issue a daily. Answering the query the Enterprise sensibly says it will get out a daily when the business of the town will justify the publication of a good one and not before; it does not want to run a slip- shoddy aflair. And the Enterprise right." JuDOiito by the limited number of demo cratic aspirants for presidential honors, it would appear that the would-be presidents ol that faith have given it up as a foregone conclusion that the republicans will name the next president. It is rather tough on tbe faithful, for they will have had only two short pulls In thirty-six years, and the prob abilities are good that it will be another quarter of a century before the people want another change and the democracy get back again. The attendance at the convention that is being worked up to be held next week to nominate candidates In opposition to the law and order ticket will demonstrate how many hypocrites took part in the law and order convention. A pretty accurate poll was kept, and of those who voted and took part, it is quite certain that not half a dozen will play the two-faced game. Who are the "committee" that has called citizen' convention for next Monday -might? Had Mr. Caufield received the nomina tion for mayor the law and order element would have supported him as strongly as they now will Dr. Powell. Mr. Caufield is a man who has always shown himself to be on the side of law and order, and his influ ence and vote will be for the enforcement of the laws of Oregon City. In the contest in convention it was two good men te be voted for, and the decision of the majority will be abided by. The forthcoming city election promises to be the hottest ever witnessed In Oregon City, and it behooves every man and woman who believes in the enforcement of our laws and in the protection of our boys and girls, to work hard for the success of the law and order ticket. Why doesn't this self-appointed "com mittee" publish the ticket they expect to have voted for at next Monday night's convention? At a gathering of King' Paughters at London, Ontario, the other day, Mrs. Gra ham, of Toronto, on being asked if dancing should be tolerated, replied: " Yes, but only in the morning, an hour before breakfast, and then the woman should dance with her husband or brother." The distinction of possessing the lasteat vessel in the world belongs for the present to Russia the Sokol, Anglicized Hawk, which has just been constructed for the Muscovite government, having attained at her trial trip, a few weeks ago. twenty-nine and three-quarter knots, or thirty-four and one-quarter miles, an hour, nearly four knots more than Great Britain's much vaunted Havock. As an Indication of tbe extreme rarity of possibly unjust convictions, Dr. Austin Flint says that "In the eiamination of nearly one hundred and fifty convict wit nesses in the late investigation of the El mi ra reformatory, not more than one or two hesitated to admit their guilt." Fifty-two creameries are reported in Washington, and the daily output of the different creameries and factories throngh- out the state is 7,000 pounds of butter and about 2,400 pounds ot cheese, and an annual production of butter of 2,1!JO,000 pounds, of cheese 547,000 pounds, and an annual consumption of butler of 2,920,009 pounds, and of cheese '.'30.000 pounds. The state of Washington has made a striking advance in the production of butter since 18(11, when the annual production was only 5 er cent of the amount consumed, while the figures given above indicate that this percentage has been raised until it stands in 1805 at over 70 per cent. The report of tbe commissioner of immi gration shows that ZM.h'Vi immigrants ar rived in the United Ktates during the last fiscal year. This is the smallest inimigra tion since 1870, The hard times is still de terring aliens from seeking our shores, It seems. Venezuela is not by any means so feeble and helpless as Americans are prone to be lieve. Her finances are in excellent condi tion. She owes only f 13,000,000; her yearly revenue is $10,000,000; her credit is good; she has about 000 miles of railroad, all built within the last ten years; her people are warlike; she has a regular army of 5,000 to 8,000 men, well drilled and well armed. Three years ago President Cresco bought 40100 Mansur rifles; it It comes to fighting, Venezuela can put from 80,000 to 100,000 patriots in the field. " The British cannot transport enough troops to conquer us," says Mitiister Andrade, in a Washington nterview, and her people are ready and willing to try the game of war with the world's great land-grabber. Mr. Cleveland will be a statesman out of job in a little over a year now, but bis work is already done. We can all see the purpose of it now. He was born to wreck the democratic party, and he has worked out his destiny. There will be no need of a third term. San Francisco Bulletin. A careful estimate of the Florida orange crop is 100,000 boxes, which is quite a drop from the 6.000,000 boxes of the season of 1803-'94. But the new growth of trees is do ing exceedingly well, and ought to be pro ducing again within three years. It is pre- icted that five years hence the crop will be as large as ever.
