these aforesaid specimens with tome here,

was enacted for the newspapers this year
It is the law framed by Senator Veatchj
and its object la to stop the practice which
some newspapers have, that of aendlng
papers to persont whether an order for the
same has been received or not. Vesica's
law provides that all such papers shall be
deemed gifts and that no debt shall accrue
from their receipt Ex. Nevertheless it
Is a mean man who would take a paper
without at least notifying the editor, for as

We predict, though, that It will make- no
difference with the general business, for
very few papers are run on that basis.

liCLL Run. One of the members of the
State Legislature who fought the Bull Run
water bll'. was Hon. Thos. Tongue. The
following from his home paper shows thst
Portland Is now about even with him :
"Senator Tongue came near being Lilted
by his Ayrshire bull last Sunday morning.
Theenrtged animal got him down and
tossed him about until driven off by a man
coming to hit rescue. Senttor Tongue
says he Is getting tired of thla Bull Run
business. The bull floored him In the sen
ate and the bull gored him In the corral. In
the future he will keep out of the path of
bull run. The bull undoubtedly wanted
pure water.'

The following from the February IPm
Sitrt, just received Is a fine tribute to Al
bany as a commercial center. It really
auggests the key note to Albany's future
prosperity j "The railway center of the
Willamette Valley It the the city of Al
bany. And not only hat it this very prom
inent distinction, but It la the central and
most important primary shipping point,
both by river and by rail. The junction of
two such Important transportation lines as
the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Paclf
Ic railways Is of great advantage. Besides
this, Albany is at a point where a branch
road joins the main Oregon line of the
Southern Pacific. The branch extends to
the eastward, and la the chief artery of
commerce for an Important portion of Linn
county. The Important fact that Albany
has feeders ramifying the country In all di
rectlons, collecting produce ' and distribut
ing merchandise, shows that it has com
mercial Independence and is not laid under
tribute to oppressive monopoly, nor ia It
suffering from any lack of modern conven
iences. Lines of trade converge at Albany
because such an arrangement la the most
conducive to success and profit. Trade
would not flow to Albany if any other
point presented greater advantages to the
interested people, any more than water
will naturally flow up hill; and traffic lines
wilt not be built where there is no trade to
sustala them. If the concentration of traf
fic means anything and no one will for a
moment doubt that It is significant It in
dicates that the point selected possesses su
perior qualificationa from a commercial
point of view, and that it commands pe
culiar advantages to which the business
world Is very sensitive. Strangers who visit
Albany can not help being favorably Im-
firessed with its advantageous situation and
ts chances for growth. The city is sur
rounded by one ef the finest tracts of agri
cultural land In the world, the Willamette
Valley." '

If you do, you are destined to certain dis

to please atl his patrons. What pleaset
one will displease another. Can you afford
to growl at every little act which does not
meet your approval t If you do you will
be In "hot water" most of your lime. The
tame It true as to your minister, or any
public officer. The ttme Is doubly (rue of
the newspaper. If you expect to here just
tuch matter published as will suit' your
taste or meet your approval, and to have
tuch matter ts doet not meet your own ap
proval go unpublished, you are equally
doomed lo a certain diiappolntment. It Is
Impossible to conduct a newspaper In such
a way as to meet the approval of all Its
readers. What pleaset one dlsp'easet an
other. Some times a subscriber becomes
nettled tt something publUhed In a newt
paper which he doet not like and ordert
hit paper "slopped." Well It "stops" as to
him, but In all 'probability the paper will
receive half a dozen new subscribers for
publishing the very matter that wat to
distasteful to the one who "stopped" hit
paper. Just tt well "stop" your teacher tt
your paper. You may discharge your
teacher for a trlval matter and get a new
one, but ere man weekt he will also have
done something thtt doet not meet your
approval. Will you keep on discharging i
If so you will receive no benefit from jour

Congressional tnattert are In a. pretty
badly mlx-sd condition. Notwithstanding
the extraordinary promptness of the appro
priations committee In disposing of their
business, the Hotse sllll hat three appro
priation bills to tct on in their first sttge
Only one of these, the general deficiency.
which It necessarily the last for the com
mittee to consider ,come from Mr. Randall's
committee. The other two are the post
office and the Indian bills. After the
House ptsscs these they will hare but a
short lime for consideration In the Senate
committee and In the Senate. It Is not
Impossible that one or more of them will
fail. The conference committee have
greed upon the amendments to the legis
lative bill, over which there wat very little
controversy. This ard other conference
reports have yet to be considered in the
House. With all thtt and the contested
election case to take up much of the short
time left for the session, It Is likely that
tome important matter may be pinched on
the 4th of March, especially if a la riff dis
cussion is yet lo be Indulged in. There Is
no tort ot a chance apparent for the tariff
legislation, but the wayt and metnt com
mittee expect to get action on the Mills
resolution before adjournment. They ex
pect to be able to past It ; they tfon't knew
certainly whether they can or not,but they
propose to get an espression of opinion on
the subject. '
The democratic Senators are making
great efforts to secure action on the Pres
ident's late nominations. It tt reported
that they have some plan on foot by which
they hope to force action on tome of those
they are most anxious about. It Is sug
gested that the President mi; withhold his
pprovol from some of the measures the
republicans are most Interested In, and let
them die on the 4th of March iftcertaln
nominations are not confirmed.
Senstor I arris hat made a resolution and
there Is no doubt that he will keep It The
failure of the Senate to confirm the Presi
dent's appointments haa decided the Ten
nessee Senator to make a motion daily to
the end of the session to go into executive
session and consider nominations. He finds
that Mr. Cleveland's nominations to the
number of 377 have been pigeonholed. In
contrast, President Arthur made 61 1 nom
inations subsequent to the election In 1SS4,
and all but 20 were confirmed, while Mr.
Hayes nominated 6S0 officials In the same
period, and but few af them were not con
firmed. The figures, It It claimed, tpeak
well for the present administration. The
number is not unusual rather under than
over '.he number of routine appointment.
The President is nraiixlng, evidently .that
the 4 ih of March Is near at hand.and that it
will be necessary for him In order to leave
bit desk clear for Mr. Harrison, to spend
every possible minute on the mass of busi
ness accumulation by reason of the ap
proaching end of Congress. The bills are
coming in upon him rapidly and he had,
undoubted!, considerable business ot a
private nature to wind up. lo consequence
he has made an official request that he be
1st alone during the week, at it will be ab
solutely necessary for him to have these
sic days for uninterrupted work. In other
words he will not be at home. There is an
air of extreme quiet at the White House
nowadays which wat broken only by the
round of receptions, the last of which oc
cured latt night, to the public.

A roll of paper ia slowly unwound, and at the
same time saturated with -a mixture of five
parts of sulphuric acid and two parts of nitric
acid, which falls upon the paper in fine spray.
This changes the cellulose of the paper into
proxylin gun cotton. The excess of the acid
having been expelled by pressure, the paper is
washed with plenty of water until ail traces of
acid have been removed. It ia then redeced to
a pulp, and passes onto tbe bleaching trough.
V Most of the water having been got rid of by
meant of a strainer, the pulp is mixed with
from ao to 40 per cent, of its weight in' cam
phor, and the mixture thoroughly triturated
under millstones. The necessary coloring hav
ing been added in the form of powder, srsecond
mixing and grinding follows.
The finely divided pulp is then spread out in
thick layers oa slabs, am' from ao to tj of these
layers are placed in a hydaulic press, separated
from one another by some sheets of thick blot-
tine nsoer. and are tubiected to a pressure of
150 atmospheres, until all traces of moisture
have been got rid of. The matter it then passed
