&EE THE POINT.
The Chicago Herald has a strong
editorial article at the outset of
which it declares: "Nothing
seems plainer than that the West
will do its own manufacturing in
a few j'ears." The Herald ad
vances a variety of good reasons
to sustain this view, and among
others the 'following:
"The west has more materials
used in the manufacture of goods
than the east has. It has iron,
lead and copper. . It has more
good timber. It lias com for mak
ing glucose, spirits aiid starch.
Flax and hemp succeed better in
the west than in the east. In
many parts of the west are excel
lent clay and sand for making pot
tery and glass. Almost all the
natural eement stone in the entire
country is found in the western
states and territories. The west
has only the materials to be work
ed up and the power to run the
machmefy, but it has the popula
tion to use the goods that are
made. The nearer manufactories
are to the - material they work up,
and the nearer they are to the per-1
sons who are to use them, the .
greater? saving-in transportation, is
effected."
The people of the Eastern and
Middle states begin to comprehend
the point that the inexhaustible
supplies of wealth ' lie west of
them, and when the fact is fully
realized we will surely receive the
benefits that our country so richly
merits. :
TiiE Ohio legislature recently
passed a resolution declaring that
the acceptance of a railway pass
by a public official is a crime.
This would be appalliug were it
not that the legislators forgot to
lis a penalty to fit the crime a
lapse of memory that will enable
the "public officials" of that state
to- draw their mileage and travel
ori'passes' "just the same." Hie
incident illustrates'broadly the be
lief of the Buckeye solons in
the propriety of assuming a vir
tue though they " have" it :' not.
There is no danger that' the Ore
gon legislator will assume a part of
this kind. He belongs to the class
whosa creed is embodied in the
belief that a mart is entitled to all
lie" can get irt this world, an4 in ac
cordance therewith he pockets his
mileage (full measure), packs up
tire 'stationery, penknife, paper
weights, inkstand, Hill's Code, etc.,
provided for his use during the
session and rides proudly home to
his constituents on his pass with
out making any pretension of be
ing better than anybody else.

Representative Hermann made
afrefiort recently to get increased
rate's lor surveys in Oregon, as was
allowed in Washington; but it was
not allowed. 5 Uermanm did: not
liave; as good ground to work upon
as did Wilson in Washington. - In
the latter state the surveyor gen
eral has refused to make-contracts
because the rates were not high
enough, and' the appropriation
committee had strong letters from
the general land office recommeud
ihglhat they be ..raised while in
Oitegon the surveyor general has
made no complaint, and. has gone
forward in making surveys with
out' trouble. There has been, no
difficulty in Oregon and this fact
hasr caused some" suspicion on the
. part of the land-officials- that the!
Washington' surveyor general is
not all right.. Hr. Hermann made
th4 best fight he could - under the
circumstances, " .
The Arkansas legislature has
pissed a law - which-prohibits the
mortgaging of. growing otungath-

"r DON'T PAY."
It is a continual complaint in
this county that "It don't pay to
raise wheat." But, notwithstand
ing it don't pay, the majority of
farmers will persist, year after
year, in growing this cereal. It
appears they have got' into a habit
of plowing and sowing wheat and
can't break off, and still continue
to growl at low prices. If they
would turn their attention to
dairying and poultry a little more
they would do far better. Butter
for at least eight, months of the
year will bring 30 cents a pound,
and fof about four months of that
time it sells readily at 35 cents a
pound. For the other four months,
May, June, July and August, it
will bring 25 cents a pound. . That
is, good butter will command these
prices, 6tuff, of course, will scarce
ly sell at any price. The great
trouble with many of our farmer's
wives is that they do not under
stand how to make a number one
quality of butter. To make good
butter certain care of the milk is
absolutely necessary. To acquire
this knowledge they must either
consult some good butter makers
or take some agricultural journal
which in the course of a year will
give the necessary knowledge for
the manufacture of this valuable
article. To make good butter
there are several things to be
known. First the cows must be
properly fed, have pure water to
drink, and be milked cleanly.
Second, the milk must be handled
in clean vessels. We mean clean
itt a special sense, ine oucKets
cans and pans must be scalded
every time they are used, to de
stroy the bacteria, which, without
this precaution, will generate in
the vessels used for handling milk.
Pans iu which milk'is put for the
cream to rise must be kept abso
lutely clean if good results are re
quire'd. Next, the milk must not
be allowed to stand too long in the
pans nor covered too close. . A
free circulation, of air is very es
sential. The temperature, loo,
must be looked after. Too high a
temperature' is unfavorable as is
too low a one. About 43 tojBO
ees - gives the best results.
Then, the cream after skimming
must not be kept too long before
churning. After churning the
butter should be freed from all the
butter-milk. This process is quite
a scientific one,, but easily master-
eel by one of ordinary intelligence.
When good clean butter is brought
to the market, in this city or else:
where, there is very little trouble
in nnaing a purchaser at a re-
uumerative price. Who ever
heard of a dairyman going into
bankrupcy? They, can't do it if
they furnish a good article, for
people will buy good butter in
preference to bad, be the differ
ence in price ever so great. There
is no danger of overstocking or
glutting the market. There is al
ways a demand for a good article
and the demand will increase in
stead of diminish for many years
to come. Try it and see. Then,
in connection with a few cows for
butter purposes, a few dozen hens
properly cared for during the late
fall and winter seasons will yield
more profit than a field of wheat.
Of course the farmer willeeiLtQ
raise some grain,- but instead ot-
taking it to market,; feed itjlni
cows, hogs and hens and get ajbeti
ter return . for his labor: ' Hogs,
butter, poultry and eggs now
bring much better prices than a
few years ago, because thefacili-
ties for shipping are better and
the demand is continually increas
ing. rlainaealer.

islature has passed some big ap:
propriation bills; but we haven't
heard of any state warrants being
sold below par." V

W. T. SHERMAN DEAD.
The old war heroes whose faces
are so familiar to every person
who.was not less than five years
of age in 1860, have almost all
passed away. Grant and Sheridan
are gone and now the last of the
trio who figured most conspicuous
ly on the field has passed away.
Fanagut, whose headquarters were
always on the quarter-deck, went
some time since, and a few days
ago the heroic David D. Porter,
admiral of the navy,-cast anchor
near the other shore. The whole
country will hear with deep sor
row of the death of General Sher
man, whiqh occurred in New YorK
on the 14th inst. The hero of the
march to the sea is gone. The old
soldier made a heroic fight with
death, but he was compelled to
surrender to the ultimate con
queror of all human potency.
William Tecumseh Sherman was
born February IS, 1820, at Lan
caster, Ohio. Twenty years later
he graduated at West Point and
the events of his career are plainly
written upon every page of history
since that time his life has been
an open page. General Sherman
was the last of the' great union
generals of the rebellion, and re
ceived the surrender of Johnson,
the only surviving one of the prin
cipal generals of the confederate
side. , - . . , .
The character of General Sher
man cannot be estimated in a few
words; but while struggling against
the possible exaggeration born of
admiration, it seems that, he em
bodied all the higher qualities of a
great and good man. One eulo
gist says, he was simple as a chi'd,
brave as a lion, symputhetic as a
wowan, firm as a rock, wrathful as
a tempest, when aroused against a
great wrong; and lovely as a Ju ne
morning among his friends.
American women figure con
spicuously in the list of modern
inventors, and the patents taken
out by them are continually in
creasing in number and impor
tance. Among the more novel
and surprising of these inventions
is a barrel hooping machine, which
yields a generous revenue of $29,-
000 a year to the clever . Philadel
phia woman who designed-and
patented the model. The Eureka
streetsweeper is the invention of a
woman, and a horseshoe machine,
which turns out 1,200 finished
shoes in an' hour, is the product of
another woman's skill in median
ics. English women stand next
in the list of woman inventors,
but their inspirations seem to par
take more of a feminine nature,
such as an improved feeding bottle
for "babies, a new furniture polish
or kitchen utensil of improved
style. Spokane Falls Revjew. .
The latest financial idea conies
from Maine and consists in a prop
osition to equalize gold and silver
for currency purposes by combining
the two in one coin. The pres
ent silver dollar contains' 374
grains of pure silver, while its
yellow -brother 1 contains 2.5.S
grains of gold. It is suggested
that the combination dollar con
tain 185.625 grains of silver and
12.9 grains of gold. The inventor
does not propose the amalgama
tion of. the two metalsut one,: but
."":''" .'rV . ' f'"v
mat one ?ace or -me aouar : wouia
be silver and the other gold. It
is claimed that if silver should de
cline in price, gold would rise cor
respondingly and the value of the
coin would remain the same. .
Tee San Francisco Report" says:
"A St. Bernard dog, for which his
owner paid $12,500, and is not-considered
by experts to have "paid
too much, is now" the wonder of
New York. Our chief interest in
the matter is that while a dog
worth $12,500 is being admired in
New York, the legislature of the
state of California under instiuc-
tions from' the Southern . Pacific
Company, is thinking of. passing a
bill fixing the maximum value of
A human-life at $5,000. w j
THE COLLEGE BILL.
Feeling in respect to the agri
cultural college bill is a one-sided
affair, if the newspapers of the
state mav be taken as a reflex of
public opinion. They all speak
in about the same strain as the Sa
lem Statesman, as follows:
The Agricultural College bill
asks for $25,000 for additional
buildings for that institution. The
biil ought to pass. This is the in
dustrial school of Oregon, and by
the liberality of the United States
has an income of $41,000 annually,
including the experiment station
fund." But none of this money,
except five per cent of the station
fund, amounting to only $750, can
be used for building purposes.
The condition of the grants im
poses that duty on.the state. The
college has increased in attendance
so rapidly during the two and one
half years it has been under state
control, that it has more students
than it can properly accommodate.
An additional dormitory capable
of accommodating 150 pupils, and
laboratories so as to enable the
present college building to be used
exclusively for teaching purposes,
are absolutely necessary, if the
school . is to continue its growth
and usefulness. It would hardly
be creditable for the state to re
fuse to house an institution so
grandly endowed, that asks only
this to make its endowment effect
ive. Unless the facilities asked in
this bill be given, the full benefit
of the federal appropriations must
be lessened in a marked degree.
That two-thirds of the two hun
dred pupils are the sons of farmers
or mechanics is proof of its appre
ciation as an industrial schocil.
That it is not merely a local
school, but worthy the fostering
care of the whole state, is evidenc
ed by the fact that half of the pu
pils enrolled are from counties
other than Benton, twenty-three
counties being represented by pu
pils ' ' .. .
Under the circumstances there
appears to be a slight incongruity
in the legislative apportionment of
$94,000 for a dome for the state
capitol, and $50,030 for Oregon's
exhibit at Chicago.- Aslorian.

Our little buy broke out ou bis head with
a bul form of eezdui.i, when he lyat four

they did not lielp him. We th-iii used your
three Cuticura Remedies, and alter using
them eleven weeks ex'tctly according to di
rections, he began to steadily improve, and
after the use of them for seven months his
head was entirely Weil." When we beg m
using it his head was a soli 1 sore from the
crown to his eyebrows. It was also over
his ears, in ist of his f C8, and snvill places
on d.fferent p irts of his body. There were
sixteen weeks that We had to keep his hands
t'ed to the cradle, and hold them when he
was taken up; and had to keep mittens tied
on his bands to keep his tiiiier-uaiis out of
the sores, as he would scratch if he could
