Farm . and City Property Call on I NLN-l I',A a ml Oregon Penitentiary Statistics. Supt. O. S. Downing, of the Oregon state penitentiary, has submitted bis annual report to the legiidature. In this report be deals with many items never heretofore oonaidered in tb. reports in this institution. The pris on reoordi contain much information that is thought to be of interest. During the two yesrs ending with Decem ber, 1890, there were, inclusive, at the peni tentiary G03 prisonors. Among them are found names ending with every letter in the alphabet, excepting U, X and Z. One name begins with Y, two with Q, on. with V aud four with Y. No previous report gave the number of men at the prison from each county. This time Mr. Downing will give the roster by counties of all prisoners detained there since Jan. 1, 1889. From Multnomah there were 200, from Wasco 25, Umatilla 31, Clatsop 20, Baker, 23, Linn 13, - Marion 25, Clackamas 13, Lane 1C, Douglas 17, Jackson 15, Josephine 3, Yamhill 0, Well ington 10, Polk 3, Benton 0, Coos 7, Klam ath 5, Lake 6, Crook 8, Morrow 9, Union 19, Wallowa 3, Columbia 6, Gilliam 4, Grant 10, Harney 1, Malheur 2; U. 8. priaoners, 31; total, C03. Th ages of tbe prisoners affords interest ing study aud gives cause for congratulation upon tbe fact that a state reform school, where erring youths may be reclaimed and inatruoltd in tbe way they should go, Is so nearly ready' for occupancy. Of the 003 prisoners, 10 were 15 yesrs of age or under; 80 over 15 and under 20; 282 over 20 aud nnder 30; 130 over 30 and under 40; 53 over 40 and nnder 60; 27 over 50 and nnilur CO; 12 over GO and uudor 70; 2 over 70; and one over 80. Two of tbe boys that entered the prison during (hat time were under the age of 13. The average ace is 27. Nearly every state and territory In th. Union finds representation within the prison walls. The stales and territories unrepre sented are: Florida, Utah, New Mexico, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Car olina, Vermont, West Virginia, 8outh Da kota, Arizona, and Indian Territory. New York leads the lint with 67, while Oregon makes a good second with 02. California bas 28, Illinois 44, lowit 19, Kentucky 10, Missouri 25, Ohio 17, Pennsylvania 22. But few ot th. southern states bave more than 1 each, and the other states bave each from 1 to 10. In nationality 418 of the prisonors there during the two years were born in the Uuited States. Of English born there were 21, of German 31, Austrian 1, Norwegian 1, Irish 18, Portugese 1, Cuban 2, Dane 1, Chinese 48, New Brnnswickers 1, French 6, Italian 3, Swede 6, Bpanlsh 1, Rusiian 6, Canadian 23, Nova Scotian 2, Sootch 4, Belgian 2, 8wiss 3. Australian 3, British Columbian 2. There are twenty-eight life prisoners, three of whom are from Marion and six from Multnomah. In classification of orim., 314 are for lar- oeny. For murder In second degree there are 30, manslaughter 30, burglary 68, rob. bery 14, rape 20, forgery 17, assault 39, and other crimes from 1 to 17 each. Dming tbe two years 150 prisoners were discharged, and 325 are now confined (here. Artesian Well of Hot Water. About three weeks ago tbe Boise Water oompsny having an option on ten aores of land a few hundred yards to tbe north and west of tbe penitentiary, proceeded to link an artesisn well In tbe bope ot striking hot water. At announced in tbe Statesman about a week since a flow of water with a temperature of 92 degree! was struck at a depth of eighty feet. The work of sinking the well was continued through a very bard rock formation to a depth ot 112 feet, when a stronger flow was secured with a tempera ture of 115 degrees. Tbe hot water over flowed tbe top of the well casing to such an extent that it became neoessary to tap the pipe several feet below in order to draw off Ibis overflow so as not to Interfere with the drill. The company will continue to sink tbe well In tbe bope that at a greater depth a blgber temperature may be obtained. Tbe ontoome of the experiment is of course problematical, depending en tirely on this desired result. Tbe water is dear but strongly impregnated with sul phur. Tbe oompsny will sink two more wells very shortly. Yakima Ilerald: George Wharton, of Brown County, tells a blood-curdling make story. Mrs. Willism Hoxelley, living In a log cabin, was making soap in tbe back yard having kissed her sweet little six month 's baby to sleep in tbe cradle. Pres ently ths baby screamed, an 1 she rnshed in and was horror-stricken to find a hideous blacksntke of enormous size trying to swal low th. child. It bad engulfed tbe band, swallowed it np to tbe armpit and was writhing In its contortions and efforts to make further progress. Orasping the hid eous reptile In the middle, it soon relaxed its hold nd disgorged the child's arm, then turned ubon its mother. She dashed it to f . . .... tb. floor, and in her wild irenzy stampea n to death. It proved to be of tb. black racer species, seven feet two iocbes long, and measuring tlx and one-baif Inches In circum terence.) Th. babe lived, and the only in convenience it suffered from its terrible ex" perienca'wss that its arm and band were blinterrJ as if scalded in hot water. ding to information gleaned from etches lb. farmers of weitern Kan- Laving hard limes. Tbe crop being , the counties have placed a high bn squirrels, wolves and rabbits, that Iters may by tbia me-ins be able to od for subsistence.

McKlnleyisra in New Jersey. The Naw York World of a recent date bas a special from Trenton, N. J.,' illustrating the deceptive nature of tbe arguments for high protection as exemplified by McKinley and bis partisans: The inconsistency ot the protectionist was never bettor illustrated than it has been here in New Jersey during the psBt wsek. To begin with, the pottery manufacturers of this city reduced wages last week from ten to forty per cent. Tbey did this in tbe face of tbe fact that tbe McKinley bill gives the potter a tariff protection of sixty per cent' Before the reoent election, tbe manufacturing potters told all their operatives that a golden era was awaiting them under the new tariff, and urged them to support the party that was going to add to their material prosper ity. This plea was an old one and waa pretty generally disregarded by the men, because they bsd been told the same thing in 1880, 1884 and 1888, and they bad voted as they were told in two presidential cam paigns, only to feel tbe pressure of tbe screws when tbe elections wsre over. This year proved no exoeption. In fact, the increased duty through tbe McKinley administrative bill on pottery ware bas re sulted in tbe biggest reduction of wages since the business became establixhed and threw off the apparel of an Infant industry. Tbe McKinley bill bas in reality made a mono poly of the Trenton pottery trade. A strike msy bo avoided, but it will only be because the operatives have no olher course to pur sue than the scieptauce of the inevitable. The worker in pottery is a skilled operative and cau earn nothing to speak of in any othei line. He bas to lake lower wages or be eutirely without work. In Newark another magnificent tariff olijrot Ibhhou bm linen hUu ly ihf strik or shut-down iu the Clark thread works. Thene works have always furuUhed a btantiful theme for the high tariff orator. Blaine, in his stumping tour two years ago, nsed the alleged harmonious relation between the employers and employed in the thread works with much effect as an example of tbe pros perity aud general condition of blessedness caused by protection. Tbe Clarke bave been paradud from the one coast to the other as the embodiment of the beneficent results ot a high tariff, and a tepublicau congress bas taken eiipeoial pains to keep up tbe duty on tbe products of tbe works at Newark and at Pawtucket and Fall River, B. I.,-yet here within a fortnight of the holidays, tbe worka are shut down and nearly 3,000 people are thrown out of work and peremptorily in formed that they can return to work or not as they choose after tbe works are ready to start np again. In Peterson, only bait an hour's ride from Newark, is one of the silk producing centres of the country. Bilk has received adequate protection for years, and is today given tbe benefit of the high tariff. Yet in one week the wearers in the silk mills of Mediug and of Francke & Duggan bave struck rather than submit to a reduction of wages, amount, ing to from twenty to twenty-five per cent. Unless the reduction is accepted by tbe weavers, tbe mills will be closed and tbe other silk manufacturers of tbe city talk about taking a similar course, Tbe striker may yield rather than endure the suffering sure to be entailed upon them by being out of work just as winter bas fairly begun. A Cnre and Remedy for Dlptberia. ' When there is a tendency to any soreness of the throat take a thin slice of fat pork, or bacon, stitch it on a strip ot olotb, tie it over tbe top ot the head, salt and pepper with black peper, tbe meat well, tben mois ten the skin with turpentine and bind on both sides of tbe throat and renew aa often as tbey become dry, tben put a lump of alum on the stove or bot shovel and keep it there until it quits boiling or becomes dry, tben pulverize and take some of it and apply to tbe white or grayish spots if any with th handle of a teaspoon by pressing the tongue down with tablespoon handle. Make gar gle ot weak salt snd water with a few drops of camphor in it. Gargle often. Give a physio, also, as soon as possible. I gener ally use MoLane's pills. But tbe best yon bave nse, aud w will insure a speedy cure it taken in time and these directions fol lowed, f- I send this to the publio with no motive other than to relieve tbe suffering. I bave raised a large family and never bad a doc tor in a single case of diphtheria or sore throat. The outer application acts as a counter irrita.it. 'jo alum ca.soff the putrid spots in tbe throat, the gargle heals tb throat. I never knew it to fail. E. J. M. Lebanon Express: The city election on Monday last revealed the fact tbat there are 181 voters within the corporate limits. When the corporation is extended as contemplated, a conservstive estimate of tbe voters would be three hundred, and a calculation npon this basis would give Lebanon a population of fifteen hundred. The increase of popula tion has been mostly outside of tbe present city limits snd yet tbe increase in tbe town proper bas been seventy per cent, over lss( year. Lebanon bas mad. a very oreditsble growth. .The amount ot wheat reported to be held in Tacoma is 1,0G2,500 bushels. This is the largest smouut by 172,000 bushels t ver held in Taooma since July, 18S8, snd represents, according to tbe best authority, 60 per cent ot tbe wheat in tbe state ot Washington. Tbe trouble now about the movement of wheat seems to be to get bottoms. There are only two ships in port availa. ble for tbe transportation of wheat. On Friday, July 20, 1890. the steamboat Three Bisters went ap the river to Corral lis, says the Polk County Observer, snd the same day the Champion went down to Port, land aud sine, tben not snother boat passed either wsy nntiii in.
