PRODUCTION OF SILVER.
Many correspondents ask for the figures
bowing the annual production of silver dur
ing tbe period culminating in its restricted
coinage or total rejection at the mints of all
the first-class nations of tbe world.
The Chicago Times-Herald gives the total
production ol silver during the first half of
the century as authentically estimated at
1,052.211,000 ounces or an average annual
output of 21,044,220 ounces.
For the second half of the century to the
present year the figures are as follows. The
ratio to gold is also given for convenient

A recent number of the Toledo Ulade
gives a striking object lesson of silver
stricken Mexico.
The Mexican Herald publishes its sub
scription terms as follows:
Delivered by carriers in city $12
By mail in country 10
United Stales 7
Central American Slates 12
Tbey send the paper to subscribers in the
United Males and pay the postage for $7.
WhyT llecause the money of the United
States Is equivalent to gold .
Mexico is doing business on silver basis,
and they charge accordingly.
Tin county court has again taken up the
subject of buying a poor farm ami of placing
all tbe county charges upon it. The court
bases the need of a poor farm on the fact
that it has cost the county for the 12 months
ending July 1, lX;, the sum of $.!!). W to
keep its poor. Of course this is a big sum
of money snd if these county charges were
paupers. In the strict sense of the word, it
would be a saving to put them all on a farm
here they could be cared for in a body at
a less cost than if scattered about the
county. But the court must remember
that these unusual hard times are responsi
ble for a large part of this pauper expense
and with the return of good times, this ex
pense will greatly decrease. Furthermore
fully one-half ol this expenditure is for aid
to persons who are not paupers but who
have met with reverses and sickness, and
with a little help soon become self-support
lug again. There are many persons who
are regular paupers, whose keeping is but a
small charge on tbe county as they are
taken by farmers and others, their labor
nearly paying their keep. In fact there are
but few persons on the list who draw to ex
ceed I0 per month out of the county treas
ury. As lo tbe cost of a county physician
being decreased that is not so, for his ser
vices are used more by temporarily desti
tute families and persons than by the regu
lar paupers. With the costly experience of
other counties in tbe stale and our present
high taxes and empty treasury, the poor
farm project should be laid over for another
year at least.
aggreasire campaign. This county has a
mitjorliv of republicans, who will all vote
for Mi Klnlcy If an enlliiisiastlo plan of
campaign Is adopted and carried out.
Till boasta of the Three Sisters' publish,
era as lo Ihcir big circulation in the county,
hits proved as false aa their oilier ilnle-
nu'iits. Not a day passes but what liupilrlea
are received at the county olllces Ironi per

as to what paper the delinquent lax list is
published in and where a copy can be had
Willi the first edition couiainiug the lax
list a great many sample copiea of the Three
Sisters were sent out, but since that week
the extra copies sent out, over and above
thrlr regular list of ISO subscribers, has
been so small aa not to seriously bunion the

Geo. T. Howard,

It is an outrage on the tai-payera of
Cla"kamas county that two abend 's olllces
should be maintained in the court house
Asa mailer of fact it is only by a stretch of
the law that Fx-Sheriff Maddock can relalii
possession of the tax rolls and draw a salary
for his duty when the regular aherift and
his deputy are practically In their cltloe.
Maddock had belter make bay while the
sun shines (orit lll be the last time that he
will ever hold an otllce, be it ever so inferior,
in Clackamas county, for the tax payers
will annihilate bim should he ever show
himself in politics again.
Santos ti, page 118 ol the revised statutes
of l.K, of Oregon, says that the sherill shall
turn over once each week to the county
treasurer, all moneys coming Into his hands
belonging to the county. The records of
the treasurer's office show that Sheriff Mad
dock, while collecting taxes this summer,
bas turned over the county funds just aa It
suited his pleasure, regardlese of the law,
sometimes once in two weeks, but oftener
at longer periods than that. When It comes
to openly violating the laws of the stale,
Sherill Maddock, as a public otllcer, bas
not his equal in the slate of Oregon
In view of the many uglv reports that are
out regarding Ex-Sherill' Maddock, there
lias come a general demand that his books
be eerted. His accounts mav be all
straight, but so many county ofllcers of late
having been found derelect in their duties,
Marion havii g just called an olllcer to an
accounting alter his report bad been made,
with the result ol a big shortage being found
by the experts, that it might be well for the
county court ol this county to have Mad
dock's books looked over

As a result of the exposure in the Entkr
I'Biex of lait week methods employed by
Maddock and his lieutenants, Lawrence
and Bam, in padding out the deliniiient
tax list, Maddock hasbecoi.ie fearful lest in
their greed to make a big stake as well as lo
have a goodly sum left after giving him his
half, that the Three Sisters' publishers had
rather overstepped tbe bounds of safety and
tbat the county commissioners might be
given an excuse for cutting his bill for pub
lishing the list and thus give him a black
eye. He has bad his deputy, Moody, en
gaged all the week In figuring out the print
er's charges on the various descriptions aa
tbey would be if set honestly. As Lawrence
& Bain will demand that the contract be
carried out and that they be paid as the list
measures in their paier, there is a good
prospect of a row between them and Mad
dock. It would not be amiss in Maddock,
if he thought be could save himself from
political death, to turn about and swindle
his accomplices in the tax list robbery.

McKINLEY IN0BK00X.
There can be no doubt but that McKinler
will receive a handsome nmjority in Oregon
at the coming presidential election. Hun
dreds and thousands of republicans who
voted for populist candidates for congress
at the June election on account of local
issues, will vole straight for McKinley and
Hobart on the first Monday in November.
These men love their country and earnestly
believ-in a government tbat will protect
the masses and the laboring people of the
nation. They are earnest advocates of a
sound financial and protection policy, and
will vote as tbey believe, and they will urge
their neighbors to vote for a policy tbat
will tend to revive the wool industry, and
foster and protect the varied manufacturing
industries of the web-foot state.
For months and months the voters of
Oregon have been stuffed with wild cat lit
erature, and listened to the harangues of
windy orators, until some ol them are upset
in their Ideas. But they arecoming to their
sober senses, and are beginning to realize
The Hood River Glacier makes the state
ment that $30,000 in cash bas been paid to
strawberry growers in that valley this sea
son. In lact it has been proved to be the
most profitable crop that tbey can produce,
and the acreage will be increased in future
years lo an appreciable extent. One reason
why strawberry growing proves to he prolit
able in tbat section, is that the raising of
the fruit is done in a scientific way, and the
work is done systematically, while they
take special pains in marketing tbeir ber
ries in a presentable condition. They make
strawberry growing a specialty, and people
who order Hood river strawberries know ex
actly what they are getting. The example
set by Hood river fruit growers could be
fo.lowed with profit by horticulturists in
other sections of the stale. There Is money
in fruit growing, bill it must be conducted
on business principles.
The United States authorities are begin
ning to take an active interest in the Wil

coming a menace to the travelers, who have
occasion to go in the direction of Wilhoit

them what minute the deadly bullet from a

coming a serious all'air, and as the high

The general business depression that is

With between six and seven million
pounds of wool lying unsold in The Dalles

there Is some signilicance when men
