-U. S. Gov't SLepffi, Aug. ijr. 1889.
War has broken out among the
large watch manufacturing con
cerns of America, and the an
nouncement is made of a reduc
tion of twenty per cent, in all 18
size movements. It is said the
Elgin company will lose $100,000
in rebates to jobbers who now hold
in stock the goods on which the
reduction is made, and $300,000
on the movements now held by
the company, while the Waltham
company will lose something over
a million dollars by the reduction.
The reduction is made in an effort
to wipe out of existence the Due I
ber watch-case company. Now is
the time lor all hands to get
pocket time pieces at reduced
rates.
OuEGON WEATHER REPORT.
The question whether large
farms or small farms pay the best,
depends 011 the value of the land,
the nature of the soil, the charac
ter of the crops which must be
produced, and other modifying
circumstance. In the prairie
states, where land is cheap and
grain 13 the staple crop, moderate
ly large farms are necessary in or
der to secure a profit. Where
fruit, vegetables, etc., lorm the
chief dependence of the farmer for
profit, small, well tilled farms are
better than large ones, or vice
versa. The circumstances must
determine the matter. Ex.
- Among the advantages to Eu
rope of the war in Chile was the
opportunity it gave of testing
several newly invented rifles in
actual battle instead of at un
satisfactory targets. - The insur
gents' were armed with a German
weapon known as the Mauser
Mannlicher gun, and it proved to
be a luan-licker, indeed, for sever
al instances were found where a
single bullet had passed through
three men. The cartridge is about
as large as a cigarette, and ninety-
five of them weigh no more than
sixty of our Springfield rifle cat
rulges. "
Yankee ingenuity is proverbial.
Already we are beginning to im
prove on English methods in the
manufacture of tin plate. For cen
turies the English tin makers have
used tallow largely at one step of
the process. An American manu
facturer has found that cottonseed
oil is preferable in many respects
to tallow. Cottonseed oil is cheap
er, and its use in . the tin industry
now growing up in this country
will make an additional market
for this importent southern pro
duct. Ex.
The president's salary is paid to
him in mothly. installments of $4.-
166.67. The warrant is brought
up to the White House by' a spe
cial messenger of the treasury de
partment, and after the president
has indorsed it as he would an
ordinary draft, his private secre
tary deposits it at the Columbia
bank. When the president is out
of town the draft is mailed to him.
The same method is pursued in
paying the justices of the supreme
court.
FOR WESTERN OREGON, FOB WEEK ENDING
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1891.
The temperature has been low
er than the preceding week. The
weather has been cloudy or partly
cloudy, with rain in latter part of
the week. An earth-quake was
felt especially in the Willamette
valley about 9 o'clock on the eve
ning of the 16th.
CROPS.
Hop picking is nearly over, the
hop crop will amount to about two
thirds of a crop, the lice and
mould having damaged the other
third. Corn in Jackson and Jose
phine counties is being cut, the
yield is larger than for many
years. Grapes in the southern
counties are ripening and wine
mafeing will begin within a few
weeks. Threshing is generally
over, except an occasional small
stack in a few localities. Reports
continue to indicate that the far
mers are all pleased with the pro
ducts secured, save hops. Peach- i
es, pears, apples and melons are
very plentiful and the yield has
been more than an average. The
prune crop has been fully an aver
age and the drying of them yet
continues. Some plowing has
been commenced.
