Titfc question is whether there
fe any storm in that European
war cloud.
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. It
lias come out in spots aud they
an't stop it. It will likely prove
fatal.

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."

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
