temporary diotattor. all those who
are familiar with the politieo-eoono-mic
history of the empire for the
last twelve or lift eon years will or
ifive the congruity of this in-vc
with the fitness ami logic of things.
Pe Witte is the ol.ieial sponsor for,
if not the creator of. the "great in
dustry'' of Russia of such maiui
facturing establishments as the Put-,
iloff works, where the general
strike is now in progress in the litis-
sian capital originated.
Modern manufacturing industry
is a recent development in Russia.
When Do Witte was minister of fi
nance in the early nineties he was
impressed with the poverty of tho
country, the danger of exclusive de
pendence on agriculture, then, as
now, in a terrible backward state,
and the necessity of diversification
of industry. In a formal address ho
outlined large plans for industrial
expansion by moans of foreign capi
tal. He wished to "shorten the dif
ficult jieriod of learning industrial
methods," and he was prepared to
invite not only foreign investors but
foreign engineers, overseers, mechan
ics and skilled laborers generally.
For the supply of Virdinary or
partly skilled labor it was necessary
to depend on the jteasant class. Of
ficial statistics show that the rural
laborer earns on the average during
the summer "2S kopeks H cents
per day. The "day" in the village
means from fifteen to seventeen
hours of hard toil. During the win
ter months there is no work in the
villages for the landless, and they
must seek employment in urban fac
tories. Kven the peasant proprietor
cannot make both ends meet except
by engaging in what is called "cot
tage industrii s" or by finding em
ployment away from home. The
industrial centers of the empire are
few and far In-iween. and even ii"W.
after a decade f strenuous govern
mental .'inert and encouragement,
the whole of the "great industry"
gives employment to less than
uou.himi persons, whereas the in
jreasant population exceeds loo.onn..
000.
Russian writers of authority state
that the average annual expenditure!
of a peasant laniilv, amounts to IV.I

Our fifth anniversary sale during the month of January far exceeded our expectations, but wc still have con
siderable stock which must be moved out by March 1st, when our Immense spring stock will commence to arrive and
we must have room to display it. During the month of February we intend to close out all our hall and Winter goods
at prices heretofore unknown in Oregon City. The space allotted to our Cloak and SuitDepartment is small and all
goods in that line must be sold regardless of cost, as wc must have room for our new suits.
We were sorry to dissapoint so many of our customers who felt sure they would be fortunate enough to secure
one of the four Singer Sewing Machines we gave away during the month of January. Personally we would like to
present each of our friends with one of these household necessities, but as that is impossible, we have purchased four
more Singer Sewing Machines and will give them away during February.
February being usually a dull month we intend making it one of the busiest of the year, by cleaning up getting
rid of every odd lot and short lengths of goods, so every day this month will be a Bargain Day.

But such was the ease at tiio Sea
mann divorce suit trial last week.
To other than their credit it is4to
lx' remarked that fully one-third of
the spectators at the trial were either
young girls or women. When it i
known that the accommodations of
the court room were taxed, it re
mains that there were in attendanei

uie iiisgusiing recital was cpiallv
laeking with the more than f-evontv
men and young boys who sat through
the entire proceeding. They are
none the less censurable than tin-
women.
The eH'eet following the introduc
tion of the first installment of dirt v
testimony that characterized the en
tire proceeding instead of suggesting
the retreat of these women from the
court room, appeared onlv to whet
their appetites for the more start
ling accusations that followed. Not
only was the presence of these women
at the trial irnwcusabl" and in bad
form, but as a oon.epicneo. th'-v

If women are not posse.-nd of
