greatest difficulty It encountered wit an
outgrowth of the non-unlformllr of the

Ochoco Review.
Or Coi RiE Our friend In the Interior
seem to be encouraged in the belief that
the Oregon Pacific will build during the
coming summer from Yaquina bay Into
Grant and Ciook counties. For many
) eirt the producers In that ! sola ted por
tion of the tlate hare looked longingly
toward this road at the outlet to teaooard;
but have hitherto been disappointed, and
we can tee no reason why they should
have stronger hopet now than heretofore.
The Dalles T M. That a paper at that
city should take thit view it to be ex
pected; but let them keep their optics
open, and they will see the steam horse
bringing the wool and o'her products of
that country to Albany Instead of to The
Dalles, all the tame, and within no great
length of time. The prospect wat never
as good at now. There Is lots of dlilei
ence between a road out of debt, and on?
owing $15,003,000. See.
Ah OrPORTUKiTY. As a ahipping cen
ter, and with her superior freight rates,
Albany is splendidly situated not'only for
becoming eventually a great wholesale
city, but a well a manufacturing city.
In manufactories particularly at the
present time we should bo constantly
reach ng out. At a small ct, compared
to the benefit, this city could add within
a year or two four or five fectorita that
would do wonders in assisting to build
up, and make it a manufacturing center.
At tLe present time there is an oppor
tunity offered to secure a furniture and
chair factory, employing about twenty-
Dve hands, ut our business men eee
that we get it.
The A. & S. C. R. R. There it a gen-

They maintain that the road worth
$150,000. Latt year it paid a good sum
above operating expentet. Extravagance
and mismanagement is the cause of the
present bad condition of the property.
From present indications it looks as though
it will be a couple ycart before the mort
gage will be foreclosed, 'and In that time
tome Interesting developments may be
expected if there it not a change in the
programme.

Wheat continues to be 2 cents with

make little difference what the price is

Vicrtain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the
Government reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an
attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal," or
making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpdsc being to
counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising
from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown
by the (Government chemists and others.
As to whether ay of these baking powders are
equal to the "Royal," the official tests clearly .deter
mine. When samples of various baking powders were
purchased from the grocers, cr.d analyzed by the United
States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State
and City Hoards of Health, the reports revealed the fact
that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent to 60 per
cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of
tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly
made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome.
As these powders arc sold to consumers at the same price, by the use
of the Royal Jlaking Powder there is an average saving of over one third,
besides the advantage cf assured purity and wholcsomencss of food, and of
bread, biscuit, and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable advan
tages not to be had in the use of the low-grade, cheaply made baking pow
ders that contain Hmc, alum, and other impurities.

Misnaming Things.
The experienced huntsman in the woods never wastes
time looking for bear in Bear Hollow, nor deer along Deer
Creek, nor would ho hope to shoot any great number of ducks
on Duck Lake, for his experience has taught him that such
points are always misnamed, and this lesson holda good with
almost everythitig in life. For instance, in tho case of the
brands on articles of food,- br.iccs and 'other ground food
products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly :
pure" or "absolutely pure,'" are without exception the most
villainously adulterated. Tis the volf in shccpM' clothing
always. ' . . - ' ' ''
The .most brazen case : that of the Royal Baking
Powder. This article is branded a'.td paraded before the people ;
as "absolutely pure" when it contains -nvroonia. You can
smell it in the can and often in ths.biscilit while hot.

A regular meeting of Tangent Grange
was held Jan. 33rd. Thcie wa a good
attendance.
Grange was called tinlerby W. M
A Blevlns, and oinrncd In the fourth de

third and fourth degrees, when we all
repaired to the hall below and partook of
a bountiful harvest feast, prepared by the
slaters for this ocejulon.
Dinner over grange oiled to order,
when the class was Instructed In the un
written work of the order. They were re
quired to go outside and work their way
through the gatee of the farm, which they
ltd In a creditable manner.
Next came the Installation of officers for
the ensuing year, which' service was per
formed ty i;ro . a Uawson, assisted oy
Bro Misncr and Sister Ada Knlghten.
Three ot the officers elect were not present
cause la grippe.
We received three applications for Ini
tiation and granted one dcmlt.
Bios A L Brldgetarmerand L B Luper
were elected delegate to the Linn Connty
Council.
The report of the secretary showed a
gain of to member by Initiation and 16
by demit and otherwise.
The meeting was full of Interest and alt
were welt repaid for the time spent. Good
music was furnUhed during the Initiatory
ceremonies, which adds much to the In
terest to the work. I think Tangent
giange ha a bright future before it. As
veryttiing t in good running order and
if the new officers wilt do their duty prop
erly, with the aid of the membcrs.there I
no reason why we should not be among
one of the best In the slate. Alt that Is
necessary is close attention to the work
