As nearly as we can learn from good authority, a gentleman on his own responiiibility bai drawn plans showing a handsome structure: but there is no backing to it at present, nor likelihood of such a structure for at leat a few years, though there ia no question it would be a credit to the city. The Dbmocbat is in favor of the best buildings the city can get: but the truth is the hotel business is filled in this city, with our present population, in a splen did manner. The universal verdict of the traveling public is that Albany has the best managed boteis in Oregon, out side of Portland, and their capacity has not yet begun to be tested. ANbw Fbature The Albany college Is up with the time. Today twenty five mortar board college hats were received throuirh the L E Blabi Clothing Co. from the East. These are the genuine Oxford hats, and will be worn by the older stu dents. They are becoming a feature In a good many eastern colleges and present a novel appearance which will distinguish our college students. The tassels indicate the grade, the seniors wearing black. The college now has a tine rail ol students, lUw to Make Mombt, Cverv man Is Us farmer of hi own fortune and the harvest he reap it entirely due to hi own perse rerence and Industry If properly sown, there Is not one seed that promises klm better return than saving a dollar by buying grocerie where you can always depend on the best gooJs and lowest prices.

EdUor$ Democrat: The failure to wil'e during the past two month ha been due to in over press ot work rather thn to an absence of in teresting maUrtat. , In the pant election coutett hi this state, In the war scare, and in many other cur rent events, there has been much that goes far beyond the merely iocul. But mil things else, not even excepting the war scare, are secondary, ana nave neen so an the time to tho great question of politics In a letter written shortly after the November flection, 1 made iiscol a phras llien-cui rent, but which now cuuxc a mile when used, and needs to bo care fully quoted via. "the l:glo of events." The Implication Intended was tlntt the democratic leader In would be the ex-presldent. It wa my belief then that there were not two contending principles In the democratic party either In this stute or In the nation at large. That view I am compelled to modify so far as New York state I concerned, 'fhe course ot events by which the state senate was turned over to the democrats, the calling ot the early state convention, and In short, the personal movement of Senator 11111 have changed the views of many, rew people, even In New York, have rcallaed Senator Kill's consummate ability a a politician. Few. also, have realised what a hold he had upon the machinery of politics In this state And In the whole scries of evencs that have transpired, Senator Hill has been the efficient factor, a veritable Napoleon of politic. As to gaining con trol of the state senate, there have cer tainly been some questionable things done, But It Is the logical sequence ot the method by which tiie opposing party ha maintained supremacy there. The result accomplished ha certainly been to give a democratic state Into democratic control. The method employed have sometimes seemed questionable. The main features ol this plan were admirably Uyed out. In the detail ot execution there have certainly oeen blunders. Ex-presldent Cleveland has a warm hold on a strong contingency of demo crat. But his following Is popular and unorganised. New Ycrk will unqueation able send a delegation to the convention tor Hill. Thete Is a possibility of a cn tettlxg delegation. The movement In that direction 7 formable and growing. Whether or not a compromise can be effected remain to be seen. If not, alas, lor democracy In thl state A mass meeting wa held In Cooper Union 4t week that haa exercitcd Senator !ll'l ani hi follower not a Utile. I' wa targe, enthusiastic ami composed of tne most substantial members ot the party In this city. The meeting was a formldal protest against the mld-wlnler convention lie cause It mean machine made delegate rather than delegate chosen by tha popu lar party will for the national convention. The meeting and the speakers, while enthusiastic, were dignified and In tamest. There were no threat. But it ha ben correctly said since the meeting that the note It sounded wa ominous of demo cratic discord. On top, of this, there come the report ot the local election throughout the state In which the repub licans have uniformly made gains. In some district these gains haie been heavy . What all thl mean no one can foretell. Senator Hill Insist that the convention shall be held a appointed on febaind. Hi follower snap then An ger in the face Independent democrat and even ridicule them. All this bode no good Thl disagreement 1 something more, I fear, than the antagonism of the per sonal follower of two great leader. It Is based on a deeper principle. To my niliu" the difference is simply this: One ele ment of the party believes that occe I to be secured by an open avowal ot prlncl- Dies, and thai a party mutt stand or fall by It principle. 1 he other (.lenient be. neve that in achieving party succe tne first thing I to Intrench the party In power, and having dona so, work out the party policy ui.dl.turbcd. The one get It platform from tne mas 01 tne people. checked and restrained by party leader The other get li platform from Indivi duals, upon whom the mas of party follower are to act as checks. This l at the bottom ot all party contest. lit the tame two principle contending whether you call it centralisation v state right, oce constructloi v liberal construction, or conservatism v radtealUm. Ill this atpectof the question, towh, that it I not a mere factional fight, but a struggle of radlca'ly opposing principle, that causes the democrats the most alarm. It cli tracS attention lom the fundamental Ideas of the party as it stand opposed to the republican party. But New York ha been (polled, arte ha furn'thed the democratic party with It candidate tor a quarter of a century. r or. although, two candidate have nom inally come from other states, to. all In tents' and put poses they came from New Yoik as they hav 1 certainly representee New York idea. It may be lime for the andldate to come from elsewhere I spoken very loudly, and the sentiment I gslnli.g ground keemhigly I hht party expediency call for some one to lead who could in aure harmony. I do not think there u much difference of opinion here as to who the republicans will nominate. If there ever wa any doubt about It, Mr Blaine's letter seem to have settled that doubt completely.

H Scliniidt, of Albany, delivered at the Farmers Institute held in tho Court Houie at Corva1lis,undef the auspices of ths Corvallis Orange, Feb, 18-JUtli Progressive agriculture is as yet in its infancy throughout the farming world, although fully recognized as one of the corner stones In advanced civilization. Progre In agriculture as ia every voca tion of life is the direct result ot pro gressive men and women, and we ran therefore in a general way accept the saying, that success in fanning depends more upon tho man than it does a poo the laud. We have all with deep regret read in the paper about the famine stricken Husaians and we auk what Is the caueT Any yottng man In this audience can answer. It is lack of progress, It is Ignor atico, it is, ladles and gentlemen, the eb aenco of good schools and good teachers planted everywhere.lt is the lack of good example and good homes, the Uck of agricultural education, the lack of tree education applied in lis broadest sense. Wonderful are tho gifts wo have from progressive men during the lt century ; the weary mother can talk with tier boy however thousands of miles apart. Great things have been aecompllaiied in the large cities nearly all over the civilized world. 'Colleges, school of art .technical schools, academies.seminaries and a vast number ot splendid institutions have sprung op and have a powerful iiilaaion; these institutions nave been l ho birth place of untold noble Impulses and con sequence. But while we pay a very high tribute to these Institutions we deeply regret that a large part of the rnral population has as yet not been pro vided for adequately. There are over two hundred millions ot men engaged daily in agricultural work as their voca tion ot life. Ketlect on It a moment, how many ol this vast number do you think are engaged In progressive agriculture? A very small percent.and why 7 Largely because ol the Uck of opportunities for the young men and women on the farms. What is progressive agriculture? It is mana'actur applied to farming and keeninii od the eoila fertility. If we take away from some field a thousand dollars wortli of wheat we have reduced the fer tUity ot that field t-4 and we must com pensate the land in some way. Ho it is with fruit; if we take away ll0 in fruit fertility it must be replaced or we are at least draw ing a check which our children mutt pay. We are shipping away from the farms in tbe Willamette Valley yearly about two million dollars worth ot fvtilKy and we are doing but very little to nav the lun 1 bock, vet tho land how ever a very considerate and easy creditor demand par. No state or no country ever succeeded In borrowing anything from the land without being obliged to 1 y it back, and the soil demands full compensation, an old debt mast be paid j and with compound interest, ami if wo do not do it our children and grand children will have to do it. The farm as a manufactory. Why is it that farming in the old way (as we term it) does not pay? Wo will briefly examine into the cause. Wo find then that farming in the old war ie mainly producing raw product! raw materials. This kiod ot farming ia described in three words, olow. sow and reap. Our fathers and forefathers were mostly engaged in It, and today, and hundred of years from now probably, we will have the aame state ot affairs. When will Russia through educational advantages elevate her rural population 00 thst they can produce more than raw materials ? when will China and a half a hundred other countries and states have an intelligent farming class? vv ben will Oregon do it? Will Oregon expend a few thousand dol lars a rear if she can get a million back ? There are now states which appropriate 110,000 a year and hold a hundred farm New York Board rof Health SITS DOWN ON A BAKING POWDER CO. ROYAL'S State Board i e- e to John Anderson. Esq -: Chicago. Ill ..".."... : Dear Sir:- Xa rooeono to yotwa .ef April SOth. In regard tov tho advertising of the Royal Boxing Povder Cos?any X have the honor to osnd you tho following resolution adopted by tlie Board at.itt Quarterly meeting held in Albcny Fob. 11th, 1855. ' Hesolved That tha advortisoment cf tho Royal Caking fOVder Company, quoting the State Board of Hoslth of Ne York aa rpOOnroonding, tnroufih ao of ita cnalyste, its purity, oto. it misrepreoontation. In no case 003 tho State Board of Health r ita representatives, eauee eush examination to be mado 1 ti ajfitw.cf.roocaaanding toy particular produots. J The misrepresentation which called forth the resolution of the State Board of Health of New York, printed above, is in keep ins: with the old tactics of the Royal Baking Powder Company. First it manufactured a Government Chemist out of whole cloth, and the garment was cut and made to fit Dr. Henry A. Mott, and later poor Dr. Love. Brought to a turn in this, the same company sought to use the New York Board cf Health., . . - It did not hesitate to send broadcast, the statement that tho New York Board of Health had endorsed and recommended tho Royal (Ammonia) Baking Powder. It did not take the New York Board of Health very long to assert itself on this misrepresentation as will be seen-from the foregoing letter. ; These questionable methods of advertising have never been resorted to by the Price Baking Powder Co. The old- fashioned honest way of making a pure Cream Tartar Baking Powder is much to be preferred. No ammonia to : conceal, nothing to bolster up V Ths r"'" rf -Div Price vt-vzs honesty is tli2 t:.:t -. t a? r I 1 " 9 a : ers institutes a year. I( we could get all republicans and democrats, alliance men and grangers to unite on what measure that would bring the most marvelous returns ever beard of to this tnte we should not have le than a $25,000 ap propriation a year for five years and hold not less than wO institutes a year solely In the interest of progressive agriculture. Praise be to tiie men who called to life these inntitutes and who today support them and bear thorn up. Fine butter and pure milk. The dairy industry is the mont powerful of all in dustries In progressive agriculture. Fine butler is a product of art and skill, and we knowif no competition in the manu facture of fine butler in the winter. The profit in winter dairying I largo and certain, tho Willamette valley is as well suited to dttirying.enpeclftlly wintcrdairy Ing, as any state or country I know of. I have studied the dairy industry in all its hearii.gs in the Kast and Wfi, I bnve been through Holland, Ireland and en mark and othir countries to learn their methods and their advantages and I find we are ahead in all respect but one. Civilization, fire butter and pore milk go hand in hand, that la, there is always great demand (or fine butter and pure milk In any cultured community. In the Erimitivo stage of man wo notice that read ia tho forcmont, an addition of a little gravy, potatoes and pork make him a bountiful meal. But those times are fast passing away. I know of a family of two la Albany who use a roll of butter a wetsk and a quart of milk per day, which In a rear foots iid to the neat little aum of sixty dollars a year. I know there are many lo this audience who nee more without being extravagant. The city of Portland alone consumes over two mil lion worth of dairy products annually. How many million dollars do you think we would have to count out if ws were to pay for all there is used in the dairy line in all the Puget Sound cities, 00 the Columbia river and to the mining camps in all adjoining field. Tha sum is a tremendous oi.e and the greater part of it go to the eastern states for butler and cheese and condensed milk. Fine butter is now retailed in Portland for 00 and US cents a roll. The transformation of vrain growing into dairying ia going on at a rapid rate in the old grain growing states and in same proportion as tho. people learn the trade of modern dairying. To make fine butter wo must first have good milk. Good milk wo can get only from good feed, pure air and fresh water fed to clean cows, cleanly milked with dry band in a clean, well lighted and well ventilated stable, with tixht floor, surrounded by a clean yard, and first, last and all the time kindness.
