THE TARIFF BILL.
The most important development of
the sixth week of the tariff Congress
was the semi-official announcement
at the White House that the Presi
dent was not disposed to urge the
adoption of any special form of tax
ation. The President, it is announced,
has let it be known that he is satis
fied with the Aldrich plan of testing
the revenue producing powers of the
Senate bill during the six months in
tervening between Its passage and
the beginning of the actual work of
the next regular session, with a view,
however, to urging additional revenue
producing legislation at that time if
the Aldrich estimates proved over
sanguine. It is to be hoped that the
bill will fulfill all of Mr. Aldrich'e ex
pectations for it but, like the Pres
ident, we doubt It.

permanent home on the hill. The
cost will be about $600. Friends of
the movement to preserve the homo
will go to work actively to secure
funds to finance the proposition.
HERBERT 0. INSKEEP
IS DEAD AT CARUS
PROMINENT FARMER PASSES
AWAY AT AGE OF 59 INTER
ESTED IN POLITICS.
Without regard to the exact spot in
which they may reside, Oregon peo
ple are beginning to realize fully the
tremendous benefit of the Annual
Rose Festival, which this year begin3
June 7th, continuing until the 12th.
This Festival emphasizes to people at
a distance the extremely favorable cli
matic conditions which make possible
the production of the finest roses in
the world.
"Raise more hogs and get more
. wealth by sending the Oregon Brand
of packing house products to every
market of the world" is a motto that
should be announced from every
school and pulpit, and be emblazoned
on the walls of every commercial or
ganization in the state.
Oregonians don't wish anybody hard
luck, but they never get sufficiently
sympathetic, when the fruit crop
fails in the older states, to "mark
down" the price at which we "hold
up" the balance of the world for its
best apples.
The Horse and Cattle Sale in Port
land has opened the eyes of livestock
breeders in every part of the United
. States and Canada to the fact that
Oregon Is the best market for good
things In that line in the United
States. ,

Herbert O. Inskeep, who died last
Thursday at his home in Cams, was
born in Shockton County, Ohio, In
1S49. and his age was 59 years, 7
months and 20 days. He came to
Oregon in 1S75 and on July 2. 1S77
was married to Miss Minnie Hornshuh.
Mr. Inskeep lived In Oregon City for
a number of years and then went to
British Columbia, and from there he
went to Nevada County, Cal., return
ing to Oregon 22 years ago. He lived
in this city six years and then bought
a farm at Cams, residing there until
his death. Mr. Inskeep took an ac
tive interest In county politics. He
was a Republican until the wave of
populism struck this state and he be
came a candidate for representative
in the legislature on the Peoples
Partv ticket Later he returned to
the Republican fold. He is survived
by a widow, one daughter, Mrs. i.m-
ma Davis, of Carus, and tnree sons,
Thomas L.. Chester A., and J. W. Ins
keep, of Portland. The funeral took
nlace Saturday morning at Carus and
was one of the largest funerals ever
held in Clackamas County. Mr. Ins
keep was universally respected and
had many friends.
The following lines were written
by a friend of the Inskeep family:
Worn by the toll of the years,
Over a pathway of pain,
He bas gone to his rest
In the land of the blest,
Never to suffer again. .
We miss him, yet we are glad
That he from sorrow Is free, t
In the Land of the Leal,
We know and we can feel
He will love us tenderly.
His soul was full of sweet song,
Pure as the notes of a bird;
And through trouble and pain
You could hear his refrain,
The sweetest mortal e'er heard.
To sleep we lay him today.
And over his gTave the sod
Shall cherish the rose.
Like a spirit that grows
Close, close by the throne of God.
The shades of night were falling fnst
As through the Afrlc Jungle passed
A wounded lion, badly hit
And followed by a crowd, to-wtt;
One ex-President,
Four trackers,
One water boy.
Three photographers,
Two stenographers,
One taxidermist.
Two skinner.

And 400 bushbeaters.
At length the lion reached his lair,
Hacked into it in deep despair.
And vowed so long as life was his
To fight, though sorely wounded, vlx:

The angry bullets spat and flew.

May gets its name from Mala, who

under this favoroble sign, for May
was named for and dedicated to gain,
and during Its thirty-one days bus

money comparatively abundant.
In addition to Mercury' temple In
Rome, an altar was raised to him over
a well near the Porta Capenn, and
here the merchants repaired on the
festival of the god (May 25) to sprink
le their gods with the waters of the
well, that they might be purified and
yield a big profit. This was the orl-
