In the last pres idential election 447 votes were cast. The increase of 29 is due to the reap portionment of representatives under the census of 1900. The importance of the rest of the country over the East has been increased In the proportion of nineteen to ten, as of the additional votes nine goto the South, ten to the various sections of the West and the re maining ten votes go to the states east of the Alleghanies. T he United States Supreme Court has decided the long-pending case be tween the United States and the Cali fornia atd Oregon Land Company, in volving the ownership of land in the Klamath Indian Reservation in Ore gon, In which it was claimed by the land company under the grant to the Oregon Military Central Wagon Road Company, made in 1864. The decision was favorable to the company and against the Government. There are 90,000 acres of land involved, and L is valued at *1,500,000. The Chief Justice and Justices Harlan and Brown dis sented from the decision. T he private postal card in imitation of the real Uncle Sam article is doom ed. From Washington comes the fact that it is a violation of the United States law, and therefore unmailable. However, the government has no de sire to cause any loss to business firms that have been using these cards, and gives them until July 1st to get rid of their stock on band. Until that date the imitation postal cards will be trans mitted through the mails, provided they have the necessary postage affix ed; but after that date no amount of stempecan insure their delivery, for they will be heli up at the starting point. "C olonel ” H ofer ’ s effort to show that the Indian War veterans were men who led lives of enjoyment while ac cumulating wealth through gold dis- . coveries is not a very creditable under taking. The story of the hardships en dured by men who left family, friends and firesides to defend organized gov- eminent against treacherous Indians is fresh in the minds of the people,though half a century has passed. Men who fearlessly incurred the greatest dan gers, subsisted upon food not alwajs good in quality nor sufficient in quanti ty, and stood guard in scanty clothing through wintry storms of snow and aleet, have earned the gratitude of two great Pacific States. As the years roll on this appreciation will not wane, nor can it be lessened by the heartless va porings of one who came in years of peace to make his home and build his fortunes In a beautiful land prepared for him by the valor and perseverance of the veterans of the Indian wars, says the Oregonian. T he burial of another congressman during the last week recalls the exist ence of a crying evil In the matter of congressional funerals, which both parties are responsible for and ought to combine to eradicate. Whenever a member dies the ’‘etiquette" which Congress has established requires that a large committee of ten to twenty-five from both houses be appointed to es cort the body home; that one or more Pullman sleepers shall be chartered by the government; they shall be stocked withall sorts of food and drink, and that the committee and their friends shall go for a week more, upon a junket. These funerals cost from 95,000 to 925,000 each. The champagnes are of the rarest brand and the cigars fur nished cost 50c to 91 apiece, and each with its aroma is enclosed in a separate vial. On many occasions some mem bers of the committee have become so intoxicated as not to be able to attend the funeral. Can such a disgraceful custom be terminated too soon? M ark H anna ’ s monumental hypoc risy was never so vividly exhibited as in his article against Socialism in the February National Magazine. He warns the country against the grow- ng systems of co-operation among workingmen and tbe widening senti ment In favor of a community ot inter usts among the masses, but never a word of condemnation for the voracious trust«. Never one sentiment against the combination and co-operation of capital for 'business purposes. Never one word against a selfish system of favoritism which has been the bane of the masses and the enthronement of the few in this government. Union among the people he brands as a dan gerous tendency because of the lack of experienced heads to guide such an enor mous force as tbe united people. Or ganization and co-operation are right and proper among capitalists. Com munity of Interests are beneficial among large concerns, but dangerous among the thinking, patient, sovereign peo ple of the nation. Hanna’s talk about devoting his remaining years to the restoration of the rights of the masses is one that would be Interesting to Americans If his past record and pres ent practices on this thia subject were not so well known to every schoolboy.

Mr. de Ruyter says the I manager of the flrm, Richard Genung, »nd the bookkeeper, Daniel O’Connell, falsified the accounts to the amovnt •f 1100,000.

Their eastern brokers, Logan A Bryan of New York, were informed that they would suspend business and now both members of the firm are awaiting the result of the experts’ work to see how they stand in the financial world. De Ruyter and Bolton are wealthy men and claim that all creditors will be paid dollar for dollar. De Ruyter said I last night that no criminal action would be taken against either Genung or O’Connell, as he considered the ac tion of the employes only a breach ot faith.

Some five or six years ago I built a building after a plan I saw In Hoard’s Dairyman and divided it in the cen ter, making two silos of about 100 tons capacity each, says a corresi>ondent of tlie paper mentioned. The plan calk'd for the frame going horizontally around and spikt>d together, with corners in side cut off, which I did not do, and I wish to say that the silo has never sprung out of shape. It was loarded double Inside, with tar or wax paper between, and ciapboarded on tbe out side ou to up and dowu slats of three or four Inches in width. Now for the experience. One of my neighbors who had a silo told me my corn was so ripe (It was all glazed and fit to cut for the old way of harvesting and husking) thut if I did not put on some water It would heat and dry out, or, as we call IL "fire fang,” and be worthless. He did uot say how much to put on, aud I calculated that the heat would be great aud It would need quite an amount; therefore I put forty barrels on each silo of 100 tons. I had very flue ensilage, and, feeding two bushel baskets to each cow per day with all the grain that grew on the stalks, they improved In flesh and gave a good supply of milk. The milk was fine, and there was no taste of ensilage either In the milk or butter made. A friend of mine who put his In the silo In the milk stage of tbe corn had to stop feedlug his eusilage because of the milk tasting so that his customers would not take it We have continued to let the corn ripen and wet it when put Into the silo, with the exception of one year my sou thought he would not wet It, and-the consequence was that we lost several tons of ensilage, and It was largely in the square corners, which I could hardly account for. but {while Inside mending the bottom of the silo last year (by the way, seven and one-half feet of the silo Is in the ground, or as low as tbe bottom of the cellar w tie re the cows are tied up) 1 had some water left, and as I stood there I threw it up against the hem lock siding Inside and was surprised to see how quickly It dried off, and then It came to me that the dry siding, drawing so much moisture from the ensilage and double the amount in the square corners, was the source ot tbe loss of so much ensilage in tbe square corners as is complained of every year. I concluded to try an experiment on la$t year's ensilage when put in and put on sixty barrels of water to each silo and put fully one-half of it Into the corners and against the siding. The result was all I could ask. not a bushel of spoiled ensilage. Rather than put on less water I would put a barrel to a ton of ensilage. I would suggest to all that have silos to thoroughly saturate them with wa ter or wet the ensilage and let the tramping of the silage go. as it will be heavy enough to take care of Itself.

Toe Scientific American has the foil «wing regarding tbe Albino d< er killed in Josephine county some m nths sioce: «, An albino deer, with a coat as wli.te as the drifting snows eyes a délicat? pink and with a tread as soft and di-creet as an elk fawn, was killed in the Canyon mountains of Southern On gon recently. It was one of the ve y few albino deer ever 9een in the mountains of the west. Old hunters tell of seeing them, usually separate from the mun herds, and at various tim is during the early d iy-; but they wt re too shy and disen el to be ap proached near enough for a shot. The deer which was killed in the Can)on mountains was with four other deer at the time it was found, and had thi- not been tiue the hunters would not have taken it for a deer. Its a il I tecoat male it far more con spicuous than tbe remainder of the he d, and it Is perhaps for this reason only albino deer are shunned by their mates. The albino deer bears exactly the same relatioo to the deer family that th< albino of the American race does to human kind. Aside from its white coat and pink eyes It is like all other deer; possibly its fur is softer and more silky. The specimen found in the pine forests of the Canyon mountains will be made a part of the exhibitor albino mammals at tbe Smithsonian Insti* tute.

The Mtnnr«o(» Fruit Proble A large portion of the area of this great state is well adapted to fruit growing.

On the approach of winter the trees should be mulched to protect them from root killing. This mulch may consist of any strawy material or stable litter, and even a small amount of it will protect from root killing, which Is liable to "be especially Injuri ous In severe winters when tbe ground is bare, and It should be generally un derstood that In this section we are quite likely to have the ground bare in winter.—Professor 8.

In pruning it is very Important that the healing process should start soon after the wound Is made; otherwise the cambium will be killed back quite a distance from the exposed surface and healing will be greatly retarded. FSor this reason winter pruning should be avoided, partk-ulariy tn frosty weather. In the early fall or late spring the cam bium is active, and wounds made at this time start to heal at once and there I is little or no dying back of the cam blum.—W. W. Hutt. Canada. A Bobu«! Hoae.

When writing men greens which are more beautiful In tion reading this generous offer in this paper winter than In sunrner because of the pretty color of their foliage at that sea son. and not the least among them Is the Robinson's Golden Arborvltte, Thuya (Biota) eiegantissima. In tbe summer time It has golden colored tips, especially when making new growth. As soon as cold weather comes the whole of the exposed foliage becomes of a flame color and is especially bril liant when exposed to the sun. In fact, when overshadowed by trees or buildings it colors hardly at all. Its best position Is one entirely open. Tbe habit of growth of this arborvltre Is intermediate between the upright growing common Chinese and the bushy, slow growing Golden Arborvitae. Set out of a height of about two feet it would be some years before it would be four. Good companions In tbe way of pleasing winter colors are the Retlnls- pora pislfera aurea, the foliage of which becomes of a golden yellow, and the Douglas Golden Juniper. The col or of the latter Is of a rich, golden bronze, something unique among ever greens. This juniper Is of a rather i flat spreading growth, fitting It for positions which the more upright ever greens could not fill. Office tn ' »n.
