Chinamen don't let a load of wood get
cold in the streets of Portland. They
wat ;h it in squads and companies from the
time the granger crosses the city boundary
till it is unloaded, then they pounce upon

to get the job of cutting it. A poor white
man stands no chance in an uneven ;ontest
over a wood pile.

West Side.
We are informed, says the Albany Her
ald-Disseminator, that the stock. holders in
the Linn county fair grounds propose to sell
out the grounds to the county for use as a
poor farm. The larger share, if not all the
stock holders, will donate their stock, so
that tbe price to be paid will not be large,
and the investment a good one for the
connty. If such an arrangement could be
made it certainly would be.lietter than let
ting the grounds go to ruin as they are now
going. The county heads a place of thi
kind and it wonld be economy to procure it.
Mr. L. Westacott, who cultivates ten
acres of hops, a short distance southeast of
Salem, sold his last year's crop, consisting
of 12,000 pounds iu bales, a few days ago,
for 15 cents per pound. Eighteen hundred
dollars for one year's yield from ten acres
of land is pretty good. Hop ra'sers are
now very busy throughout the valley. The
forwardness of the spring has caused the
young vines to spring up much earlier than
is usnal, hence- the haste to put hop ground
in order to pole the vines. Statesman.
In an article on the mines of Santiam, the
Salem Statesman says: "Parties interested
in the development of the quartz mines on
the Santiam are making preparations to do
extensive work in that auriferous region
during the coming summer. The prospect
ing which was done in years past amounted
to comparatively nothing. Fine specimens
of gold-bearing quartz were found, but after
exhausting their limited capita, the pro
prietors subsided, and the mines are practi
cally undeveloped. Had the specimens
taken i.-oni the Santiam mines been taken
from anywhere in Nevada or California,
millions of dollars would have been expend
ed to develop the ledge. It is, therefore,
evident that there is something in locality
as well as in a name."
Albany to be $1,068,140, from which will

The Oregon on ber last trip, took 200 tors
of old railroad iron, aod the State of Cal
ifornia sailing Tuesday, takes 150 tons of
the same. It is consigned to the San Fran
cisco rolling mills, where it will be worked
over. The material came from the O. ft C.
yard on the east side, which has recently
been repaired and relaid with steel rails.
The Dayton woolen mills burned at 9:30
o'clock Friday morning, caused by spon
taneous combustion in the cariing room.
The loss is $30,000 with $20,000 insurance.
All the patterns and designs are destroyed.
Some uninsured stock in the warehouse was
saved. The mills will be rebuilt. The
mills were owned by Fouts & Co., formerly
of Oregon City.
It seems that we are soon to know
whether the "man in the moon" is or is Hot
a myth. The successful casting of the
lenses for the great Lick telescope has finally
been accomplished, ami they only need
polishing now to be ready for use. Ia look
ing through this telescope, says a San
I' rancisco paper, it is reckoned that the
moon will be brought within thirty miles
of the earth, and that discoveries will be
made on that plauet to solve problems that
have heretofore been held to be unsolvable.
One of the contestants in the recent
roller-skating nice in New York has died
from the effects of physical and mental ex
haustion, brought ou by the strain, auother
has developed a sickening malady through
poisoning, anu nearly all the contestants
who remained on the track till the finish
are more or less wrecked. Such exhibitions
are little less cntel tlinn those which de
lighted the Romans in the amphitheater,
ana it is not a good sign that they are so
liberally supported.
Very few residents of Albany, says a cor
respondent to the Orejouian, even are aware
of the fact that during the past two months
negotiations have been pending between
number of business men here and an eastern
capitalist for the erection of a woolen mill
at this place. This is the fuct, however.
and the business has formed so definite a
shape that there remains ne doubt that it
will be built. Less than a $50,000 guar
antee from this city will insure its being
built the coining summer. The remainder
of the money will be furnished as stated,
by an eastern capitalist. The mill, as pro
posed, will be furnished with the latest im
proved machinery and will employ about
125 hands. A public meeting will be called
next week to consider the matter.
Matters are progressing encouragingly at
the new site of the United States Indi.-.n
training school just north of Salem, under
the personal supervision of Colonel McCon-
ville. The railroad company have built a
switch leading from the main . track to the
temporary quarters, which are not in view
from rhe O. & C. R. R. track. The new
buildings, h lwever. plans for which have
been already selected and forwarded to
r headquarters at Washington, D. C, foi
approval, will be erected ou a piece of rising
ground bnt a short distance from the track,
and will be of a first class of architecture
that will be at once pleasing and attractive.
Crops are being put in and proposals for
construction of buildings will soon be adver
tised for. The coming season promises to
be a busy one in that immediate locality.

Try It and See
We are told that if we have a local option
law, or if we have a prohibitory law, we
cannot make men moral or sober by such
acts of the legislature) Can't we though?
But you make men drunken solely by legal
statute. If ycu do not believe this, try to
make men drunk without availing yourself
of the legal means. Set u p your shop, -stock
it with liquors and sell to a single man or
boy and what happens? The country
pounces down upon you, and quickly says
to you, "What business have you to make
people drunk? I'll put you in prison." And
away you go. So that if you want to make
people drunk you must do just what the
law prescribed, you must get a license, you
must sell to such and such persons. Get
this authority and you may go ahead mak
ing drunkards; fail to get this and you shall
make no drunkards, so it is our drunkards,
are made by act of legislature. Now if
legislature can devise a plan for making
drunkards, it can equally as easily, as well,
and infinitely more honorably, refuse to
enact machinery for making drunkards, and
if it now assumes the power to keen the
monopoly of drunkard making in its own
hands, it can with eual right refuse to ex
ercise or allow any one else to exercise it.
The Way he "Stands" them Off.
The other day half a dozen good and true
democrats from a western state, says the
Washington correspondent of the Philadel
phia Times went to the White house to see
the president about certain offices they had
come for. There was perfect agreement
among themselves, and all they wanted was
to have Mr. Cleveland to agree with them.
Of his doing so they had little doubt when
he bad heard them state their case. They
were admitted and a hearty handshaking
followed. Then the spokesman of the party
spoke up: "You see." said he, "We're all
democrats, hard workers for the party, and
have concluded that these offices would be
about the fair thing. We're all agreed
about the business and would like to have
it done up right soon." Mr. Cleveland
listened attentively as thej all spoke
around. When" thev had done he spoke:
Are the men iu office not of good charac
ter?" They all said thev were, and added:
But they are republicans and we're demo
crats. W e think turn-about would be the
fair thing. " "Are you prepared to charge
them with anything wrong in office? Do
they administer the offices satisfactorily?
They said they had nothing to charge
against them, mly they we:e republicans.
You see, " said one, perceiving where the
thing was drifting, "we all workel hard for
ine pjirty last tall, and our district gave a
larger majority than ever. We thought the
offices would go with the election, and so
we've come for them." "When will the
terms of the incumbents expire?" asked the
president. They all spoke np: "Two
years. 1 wo years, repeated the presi-
'ent musiugly, immediately adding:
ome and see me then !" Another Darty
ot office seekers appeared at the White house
and stated their case in about the same way
as the other. They were democrats and
hail agreed ?mong themselves who should
have certain offices, the terms of the incum
bent'! of which would not expire for some
time. Mr. Cleveland heard them through
and then said: "I don't see anything be
tween you and the offices except the law
and my piomise to see it executed!" Tc
another company on a similar errand he
said: "There is a law bearing on the ques
tion, and I have had something to say my
self about removals and appointments,
which you will find in my letter to Mr.
Curtis. Neither seems to have received
your attention, and I will be glad to send
you copies of both. " To a democrat who
was importunate in his demand for a certain
office now held by a republican widuly
known for ability and truthfulness, the
president after listening for the third time
to the story, said: "Yon just bring me the
charges on which the incumbent can justly
be removed and I will take up the question.
You must show that he is dishonest, in
capable, or in some other way unfaithful.
Till that is done I will do nothing."
