The Mississippi valley was visit ed by an earthquake shock on the night of September 26th. The shock lasted about ten seconds. Tiie latest embezzler belongs to the same class as his predecessors. All the accounts state that he was "an eminently respectable citi zen." The Newport Times says a win try aspect has been prevading that eity lately. The authorities ought not to allow it. Such a thing will disturb the modesty of the town. Mr. Blaise writes a letter to an Ohio friend that he can not take part in the campaign in that state this fall, but he strongly urges the election of Mr. McKinley for gov ernor. . The Western farmer's instinct is wiser than Mr. Gladstone,ssphil osophy. The farmer knows that the larger the home market the better are his prices, and that as the home market is narrowed his - prices fall. James G. Blaine. The improvements made on residence property during the past month in Corvallis are commend able. Nothing helps the appear ance of a city more than nice look ing dwellings, and home-seekers will make a bee line for such a town. ' A max may not be good because he is great,' but it takes a great man to be a good one. A man who can surrender himself utterly to the . sole performances of his duties is one who has acquired greatness, and such a man seldom makes a great blunder. A correspondent wishes to know the. meaning of the word "mugwump." A mugwump is.a mugwump. They have been mug wumps since 1884, and it has now got to be a disease with the'm.

Det rimental immigration shas don& more towards injuring the laboring interests of tin's country than any other influence, and yet this never figures as an issue in a political campaign. Portland's mayor refuses a salary for his services to the city. This may sound well, but the As torian says the mayor of that city should receive a salary and a good one. Work that is done for noth ing is worth generally just about what it costs. The railway long distance rec ord has again been beaten. On September 14th a special train on (he New York Central railway made the run from New York to Buffalo at a rate a little faster than a mile a minute, that is, in seven hours twenty-six minutes, including three stops aggregating fourteen minutes. The actual running time was thus 441 miles in 432 minutes. That Corvallis is sadly in need of a better fire service was demon strated by the fire which occurred last Monday night. Had the fire been in the business portion of the city it would have got under such headway as to be beyond the con trol of the firemen, and the rotten hose and apparatus they have to work with would have been of lit tle or no service. There is no tell ing what damage would be the re sult of such a fire. The question of free books for use in the public schools of the state is being agitated in Portland. The school-book question has not been abused at all in this state, but the frequent changes that have been made in books have been quite a burden to the poorer clas ses, who usually constitute large numbers of our populations. It the books were free, of course these changes would work no hard ships to any one. While legislation does little for its reform, nevertheless there is a steady decrease of the drink habit. The New York Evening Post tes tifies that "men are growing more temperate, not because the law says that they shall not have any chance to get drunk, but because public sentiment impresses upon them the conviction that they can not afford to get drunk. It is by strengthening this sentiment that the work of temperance reform is to be chiefly prosecuted. Tell a man the law says he shall not get drunk, and he is quite likely to do it out of spite; convince him that 'it don't pay' to get drunk, and no law will be needed." RUBBER CLOTHING, OIL CLOTHING, are showing' this season the Largest and Most attractive lines ever opened in this section. . There would seem to be no rea son why the" cigarette should be as injurious as its enemies say it is. A Georgia chemist, who has carefully analyzed eighty samples finds nothing objectionable in them but "nicotine, oil of tobacco, bitter extractive gum, chlorophyik cellulose, potash, chlorine, silica, water, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, lime, iron and magnesia." Wherefore he re marks that the cigarette is "not necessarily harmful." The tenement house census of New York city shows a population of that class amounting to $1,300, 000. The government census made the population of the entire city about 1,500,000. If both are right then there are only about 200,000 persons in the city of New York living in houses other than tenements. Rather than ac oept this as the truth the people of New York would rather accuse the government census of lying. Speculative plilosophers and sociologists in Massachusetts are disturbed by the fact that while the population of the state has only trebled in fil ly years the num ber of criminals has increased fifty-fold. Many, theories are ad vanced to. account for this, of the most curious of which is that the "reformatory" system now prac ticed in Massachusetts prisons has made those places so little feared by the criminal classes that they no longer deter any one from the commission of crime. - SUGAR BEETS IN OREGON. A correspondent has the follow ing to say about raising sugar beets in Oregon: Much is being said of late concerning the sugar beet culture in the United States, and attention is turned toward the Pacific states, as the most promis ing field for the best development of this great industry, which in the past has been monopolized by for eign countries. Up to the present time this country has lacked a great deal of producing a sufficient amount of sugar for her own consumption, and each year has had to pay for eign countries millions of dollars for sugar that could be as well pro duced at home. In 1889 we paid Germany alone $16,000,000 for sugar. This amount saved to the government, and indirectly to the farmer, to say nothing of the ex cess of profit over that resulting from growing cereals which would be quite large, is no small item. The raising of sugar-beets in California is now no experiment, and the factories are running on a paying basis and yielding good BimTS returns to the farmers raising beets, as will be seen by a glance at the figures given below. A careful comparison of the climatic conditions of Oregon with that of the greatest sugar-producing cen ters of Germany, reveals the fact that we have fully as favorable conditions" as exists in California. As to the soil, the beet does not require a particular kind of soil, although of course it thrives bet ter in some than in others, yet a fair crop can be grown upon al most any soil, the beet being a sandy loam one that does not so rapidly pack under the heat of the sun as those of an essentially clay ey nature. Data enough have already been collected by parties interested in the matter to satisfy them that Oregon can produce as good beets as can be grown in this country. Beets raised in the state last year showed as high as 17 per cent, saccharine matter, and showed an average of as high a per cent, of sugar contents as in Germany. This, together with the fact that much fertilizing is required in Ger many, whereas this can be dis pensed with in this state for a long time to come, and the fact that the yield per acre is greater should indeed be an item that should be considered by the far mers. In Oregon no estimates have been made public as to the prob able cost of raising sugar beets, al though experiments are now being carried on throughout the state under the direction of Prof. G. W. Shaw, chemist at experiment sta taion at Corvallis, whose report will convey all data procurable. For present purposes, however, the statement made by Mr. W. C. Rightmier, of California, a farmer who is raising them, can be taken as a lair example by Oregon far mers: Preparing soil, 17 acres $ 68 90 Seed 20 40 Plantinjr 6 80 Thinning 88 40 Hoeing- 34 00 Cultivating 34 00 Total $ 251 60 Expense per acre $ 14 80 The average yield is from 12 to 15 tons, which should sell for $3.50 to $5 per ton.. In California the yield often runs much higher, it is stated, than the above figures, and there appears to be no reason why the same should not be true of Oregon. The establishment of this indus try is of no small concern to the state, and all efforts possible should be put forth to secure co operation over the state in the wrork. It is not a question of profit for the manufacturer alone, but one, also for the farmer, as the RUBBER CLOTHING, OIL CLOTHING, RUBBER, BOOTS. f BHOEBfeBOG farmer - .and 'A th5 manufacturer must be in hearty cooperation in this work. - Beets that are culti vated in a manner that makes them profitable for the manufac turer are also profitable for the farmer, and it is with reference to the latter class that this article is written.
