Farmers' institutes have come to be one of tbe great factor? in bringi ng about a bet ter knowledge of agricultural work and of tbe proper methods to employ in making a farm yield the greatest possible returns. In the agricultural districts of the East these institutes are held from once to twice a year, and tney are always largely attended by men and women direct from the farms who are anxious to acquire a better knowl edge ot their occupation. Tbe ablest ta'ent from the agricultural colleges and specialists in the various lines ol farm work are called on as instructors, while the farmers in at tendance are called on for their experience pertaining to the subjects under discussion. Every phase of tbe fanner's work is treated, there being lectures and papers read on drainage, fertilizers, methods of cultiva tion , all kinds or crops, stock-raising, bee culture, in fact everything pertaining to the farm is presented by a specialist so plainly that none can rail to comprehend and profit by the instructions given. The management of the Ag.icultural college at Corvallis hare announced that they will hold an institute for Clackamas county in this city at a date in February, to be announced next week, to last for several days. The greater number of the pro fessors from the college will be present as well as several of the leading horticulturists dair men and other specialists from otr the state. Tbe program will be arranged with special reference to the needs and con ditions of farm work in this county and will b9 instructive and interesting to our farmers. The hoard of trade ami citizens ol Oregon City will render Mi'li assistance as Will make this one of the most successful institutes yet held in the state. Coming as it does just before spring work begins there will be nothing to prevent a big attendance of onr farmers and their wives, sons and daughters, for each will be benefited as well as given a needed recreation. BLOCKADED STREKTS. The northeast poilion of Oregon City presents a striking contrast to that of other parts of the city in that there is scarcely new house to be seen while new resi dences are on every hand in all other sec tions or the town. To a stranger this is a enigma, for this part of the city has a splendid location and many of the hand somest lots in Oregon City are located here. To a person w ho has occasion to use the streets it is apparent why this part of the city has come to a standstill. The streets are in such an impassable condition that they keep ibis part of Oregon City in a state of blockade six months out of the year. In fact Jackson and Eleventh and Twelvth streets, the only ones open to through travel are absolutely dangerous to drive over. The sidewalks are in but little better repair, it being impossible to properly lay them on unimproved streets. The result of these barriers to free and easy communications is that property in all tbls part of the city cannot be sold within thirty per cent, of what similar property will fetch in other parts of Oregon City. Under the new charter allowing bonds to be issued and givi ng the property owners ten years in which to pay their assessments it is possible for these streetB to be improved and the property owners will ffnd It to their advantage to bestier themselves be fore another winter rolla around or empty houses will be in tbe majority in tbis part of the city. s"h Gkok'je ft AsHisoTos, the rather of our country, left as a legacy the following bit of advice: "Avoid Foreign Complications, and in time of Peace Prepare for War." While the Esteuphise has unlimited confi dence In tbe patriotism and bravery of the people ol the United States, and their abil ity to worst any nation on earth in the event of war, the condition of our navy tares us in the face. It will be remem bered at tbe close of the late civil war, our navy was in a condition to compete with any in the world. Uuring these many years of peace the navy lias been neglected, and the cold, hard fact is apparent at present, that England has 310 war ves sels to 81 by the United States. England has her squadron in every sea to the north, .south, east and wet of us, and in the event of war with this country under present eon diliens, a portion of our const cities would be pra.'ln ally dcfcn-clc-s. Now Is an op portune lime to hood well the advice of the father of our country, and proceed nl once to huiM more war ships, and within five years time the I'nited Stales could success fully Willi' any nation on the fa-e ol the glohe. Kven as matters now are the Unite I States could overrun Canada, and likely worst Knglalid, but It would be far safer to liae a well equipped tuivy. Tint EsTKM'Kisr is in receipt of an anonvmous correspondence from Cams in which the author makes a bitter attack upon a neightHr for having iutoxcaliug liquors at a wedding and getting boys drunk. The article was thrown In the waste basket for the Kntkrkhisr does not i under any circumstances publish anony mous communications, or for that matter any article that is of a personal nature unless postive proof Is furnished. The Kxtkki-kisk does not propose to become the vicarious sacrifice for some person w ho is too cowardly to sign hit name to his com munication or who lacks the nerve to make a complaint when he knows the law has been violated. Thk Venezuela commission has gone to work, and may be expected to present a re port in line with Lord Salisbury's suddenly expressed conclusion that he has been in fa Tor of arbitration all along. Thus is peace assured on the Oritiocco, and Mr. Olney left to Hy his foreign policy at Cuba. SPIRIT OF TIIK PRES8. The governor of Alaska reports, says the Koseburg 1'laindealer, that more than a hundred species of food fish swarm in the waters or the territory, and that the value of the salmon prepared for market now ex ceeds $3,000,000 a year. With proper regu lations the supply of none of these tish w ill be seriously reduced and congress would be well occupied in giving the matter attention. Col. B. F, Alley, well known in this city, intends to locate in Baker City, as the fol lowing from the last issue of his paer, the Florence West, would indicate: Some are giving it as their opinion that if we do not sell The West to parties here, we will re main In Florence. It might as well be un derstood now that It is a settled question that we go to Baker City, and if this paper is not disposed of to parties who will retain it here, there is nothing more certain than it will be moved to another town, and tbe weeks will not be many before the plant will be packed and shipped, if not now, the people will be brought to a realization of the value of the newspaper when they are without one. That the West, and notably Oregon, Is making no special effort to secure a share of the great immigration that is leaving the eastern and middle states, is apparent to even the people in the East. The following is wbal the Inter Ocean, Chicago's great daily, has to say of our apathy, and of the alertness or the South in securing immi grants and capital : The West and Southwest have got to wake up or be left in the lurch. The immi gration societies in the South were never so alert as now. They want immigrants. We repeat, if the rich acres of the West are to be tilled the people of the West will have to do better work than they have been do ing of late. Excepting California ai d I'tah the slates of the West, as far as regards en couraging immigration by the best meth ods, have been taking a profound sleep. Millions of acres in the Dakotas, in I'tuli, Idaho, Washington, and Oirgou are vet un broken, and will remain so unless those states bestir themselves. A great immi gration convention was recently held at Se attle, Washington, and it resolved to ask tbe state to appropriate tSDO from the state fund, and to call on all commercial bodies for generous contributions. If wisely ex pended such money will d much good. The people of the Middle West and the East have very imperfect ideas ot the great West and will eagerly read facts regarding it. NOT A CANDIDATE.
