Oscar Applegate and wife, were visit- ing friends here last Saturday. bam lavis returned last week from a few days Tisit to Cottage GroTe. Miss Jesie Applegate was a Drain and Yoncalla visitor one day last week. Stonewall Cawlfleld is spending a few days in onr valley visiting relatives and friends. Hiss Blanche Stanley was visiting with Miss Maud Andrews in Yoncalla, last Friday. Mrs. Anna McCnrdy and Miss Edna Applegate, were visiting Mrs. Isabelle Applegate last Saturday. We are glad to say that Mrs. Applegate is recovering from her recent attack of la-grippe. There baa been but very few cases of sickness in our neighborhood the past winter, and we do not think there has been a doctor in our valley for several months. Some cyncial persons may consider that the cause of our good health, but we simply figure it out that this is such a healthy place that there is no need of much doctoring. A few cases of whooping cough and one or two cases of la-grippe is the extent of our indispo sitions. We dislike to be registered among that class of people known as "kickers," but in looking over the library circular, we cannot help wondering why it is that J. K. Gill, of Portland, must have $1.60 for books that may be purchased of any of the big department stores (including postage) for $1.27. The latter are of good binding as we know from ex perience, and if every library would save the said extra 20 cents on each book, it would enable the children to reach a few more books than the present ar rangement will allow of. But of course we can "see through a grindstone" (with a hole in it.) There is bound to be a "graft" somewhere, and the con tract had to be awarded and the busi ness mnst be transacted through the hands of as many politicians as possible in order to put more money in circula tion. We are elad to note that the Plaqtmalxb comei out with some good strong editorals in regard to such matters regardless of party affiliations. We are in favor of reasonable expendi ture for public benefits, we do not like to see a niggardly legislature, even better a little extravagance, but we fail to see the feasability of the people pay ing J. K. CLU 20 cents more for a book than it can be bought at other places. If any one doubts let them investigate as we have done. PaoBOXA Preuco. Dfflanl lit me.

Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Baker returned on last evening's local from Portlaud, where they visited during their wedding tour. They expect to make tneir future home in Washington. We join their many friends in wishing them all the joy that a perfect home life can give. Tbe President on Marriage. President Roosevelt last Monday reiterated the vehement protest made by the authors of "The Woman Who Toils, that love of luxury and frivolity is exhausting the vitality of the Ameri can race. Tbe authors became factory girls temporarily to obtain material for the book, and also in the hope of amelioriating the condition of the toilers. As a preface to the book is printed a letter from President Roosevelt, from hich tbe following are extracts : "But tbe man or woman who de liberately avoids marriage and has a heart so cold as to know no passion, and a brain so shallow and selfish as to dis like having children, is la effect a crimi nal against tbe race and should be an object of contemptuous abhorrence by all healthy people. "If the men from the nation are not anxious to work in many different ways with all their might and strength, and ready and able to fight at need, and anx ious to be fathers of families ; and if the women do not recognize that the great est thing for any woman is to be a good wife and mother, why, that nation has cause to be alarmed about its future. "There is no physicist trouble among ns Americans. The trouble with the situation you set forth is one of charts ter. and therefore we can conquer it if we only will. Blizzard Stricken. The entire county etst of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada Mountains for the past four or five drys has been bliszsrd stricken. The storm has extended from Idaho to Maine and from the Great Lakes to Texas and Florida. 8 now has fallen everywhere, and the thermometer has dropped for days at a time in the Norwestern States to 35 below aero. In the middle West to from 20 to SO below In Northwest Texas called the Pan handle the thermoneter went down to 15 degrees below sero. All through the grazing states cattle and sheep have perished by the thousand and suffering in the small towns of the west and many other places because of the lack of fuel has been very great. It is said that this storm is the worst that has visited the United States in years.

THE RACE The Most Prominent Unitarian Minister in the United States Says Assimilation is Impossible. Last Sunday morning Dr. Minot J. Savage of the Unitarian Church, of the Messiah of the New York City, spoke on the race problem, which, he said, threatens the future of the republic. Slavery, he said, would have continued to exist in the North as it did in the South had it been equally profitable here. Dr. Savage continued : "Senator Tillman, whom I heard at a dinner last night, says that if social and political equality are allowed the colored people, it means, in his judgment, a gradual mixing, mongreliziog and de grading of the entire people. - "The black man is not a white man with a colored skin. The great science of volution tells ns that there are centuries milleniums, of natural development be. tween the position which tbe white man occupies and that occupied by the black. "I have never been in favor of the kind of safferage which is conferred up on people in this country, either white or black. I would give the ballot to persons who would have character and intelligence enough to make good citi zens. But it is too late now for that. The question is, what are we to do now? and I say 1 don't know. I would like to have the colored people scattered over VERGIXIA DREW TRESCOT is the "Alpha" and "Omega" of the excellent production of "Ird Strath more,' under David Traitel's management, which February 24th. MiasTrescott is credited "Lady Vavasour," the heroine in a marvelous way, scoring a triumph as great as Ouida scored when, this, her most famous literary production, first appeared. Grow Artichokes For Hogs. Hog growers are agreed that much of what is termed hog cholera is not that necessarily fatal disease in specific form but intestinal troubles and indigestion. Artichokes are said to be valuable s a preventative. They are not only valu able for the large amount of nutritious food which they produce, but they also serve as a "change of food," and as a valuable conditioner. A wealthy hog raiser who has made a very valuable farm by raising bogs for the pork mer ket, recently said that he would not be without a large annual patch of tame artichokes, and that bis herds hsd been entirely free from bog diseases since they had been allowed to root to their heart's content in an artichoke patch.. Artichokes should never be grown on swampy land, if a good yield of tubers is desired. Well drained land which is underlaid with gravel near the surface, is the ideal bind for them, although they do well on any good corn land. Tbe Mammoth White French, White Jerusa lem, and. Red Jerusalem varieties are the best for general cultivation. They do well in every state. Seed tubers can be obtained from almost all reliable seedsmen. On ground that will average 40 bushels oi corn per acre, tame arti chokes will easily produce 500 to 1,000 bushels of tubers per acre, if replanted and cultivated each year ; but to do this, they must be planted in the fall. In soils which are underlaid with gravel not more than 18 inches below tbe sur face, they have produced . as much as 2500 bushels per acre. Indianapolis is stirred np about grave robbers carrying to the Medical College a few score of corpses for anatomical dis section. The price paid for the stiffs was from $3.00 to 15.00 according to age, sex and degree of ripeness. The jury in the principal case stand and bas stood 6 to 6, and the judge refuses to dismiss tbe jury although not a man on it will budge from his position and one for the past four days has cast his ballot in bed. ' Idaho has appropriated the magnifi cent sum of $17,500 for the Lewis and Clark Exhibition at Portland. There was a vast amount of soap used or the appropriation would not have exceeded $7,500. And Idaho claims to be an ex ceedingly progressive state. PROBLEM the country in groups. Let them hsve control of towns or small cities, and let them learn sell-government with the ex ample of our methods all around them." In an address upon "Abraham Lin coln as a Christian," the Rev. Dr. George P. Eckman, of St. Paul's Metho dist Episcopal Church, made an appe a for contributions to the Freedman aid fund for tbe education and elevation of the poor whites and negroes of the South.- Dr. Eckman expressed himself as be lievipg 5ew York to be not a bit better than the South in siding against the negro in what has come to be regarded as a question of rights. "That Abraham Lincoln was a Chris tian,' said Dr. Eckman, ''is not to be aebwered by referring to bis opinions and beliefs on creeds and partisan re ligious faiths, which be so freely criti cised. Lincoln found only three of the 22 ministers of Springfield, 111., ready to stand by him in the advocacy of the abo lition of slavery, and refused to join the church, not being able to understand this turning from tbe advocacy of free dom.

The silly Senate of Missouri, last week, passed by unanimous vote, the presi dent adding bis affirmative - vote the fol lowing bill : Resolved, .That the committee on criminal jurisprudence be instructed to take into consideration the necessity and importance of the passage of a law providing for the taxation, branding and licensing of foriegn lords and noblemen, both real and genuine, bogus and frau dulent, found running at large in tbe state of Missouri, and providing severe penalties for the violation of said law, to tbe end that the young women of Missouri be protected and fully warned against engaging In speculating of such risky and dangerous character and in vesting In such enterprises. - On Monday President Roosevelt sent to the Senate the name of George B. Cortelyou to be Secretary of Commerce and without opposition he was immedi ately confirmed. lie served as assistant and afterwards as Private Secretary to PresiJent McKInley and was the Private Secretary to President Roosevelt when he received the nomination. ' James R Garfield, a son of President Garfield was nominated by the President "and con firmed by the Senate the same day to fill the office of Commissioner of Corpor ations. After being out but a short time. the jury in the libel suit, brought by L. II McMahan for $5000 . damages against HoferBros., publishers of The Salem Journal, on behalf of his client, Mrs j Gibson, in a divorce suit brought in a ' verdict of only $1 damages, and henee only $1 of costs, for plaintiff. The ver dict is a victory for The Journal, and for the right of all newspapers to print fair news reports based on the pleadings in the public courts.

JUSTICE TO ENUSTFD MEN. Senators Censure Gantenbcln for not Mentioning the Bravery of tbe Men. Salem, Or., Feb. 17. Had Brigardier General C. U. Gantenbein been present in the Senate this morning, he would have passed an uncomfortable quarter of an hour. He was centured most soundly by various Senators for having failed to do justice to the enlisted men in his "Cregon Volunteers in the Spanish American War and Philippine insurrec tion," and a resolution by Brownell was adopted, instructing the Secretary of State to appoint a committee composed of two enlisted ' men and one commis sioned officer of the Second Oregon to revise Gantenbein's book and render justice to the privates who distinguished themselves by meritorious services. Governor Chamberlain Monday after noon vetoed Senate bill No. 14, making tbe theft oi a bicycle subject to im prisonment in the penitentiary not leas than one year, for the reason that in his opinion tbe present law is sufficient. He also vetoed Senate bill 31, providing for the ' regulation of tbe running at large of stock in Marion County, for tbe reason that it is a violation of article 4 of tbe constitution. In the house on Monday, Representa tive Wealdon wanted to give a bonus of $500 per year for 5 years to the Oregon Poultry Association. He wanted to give a bonus to make bens lay because they are selling in Salem at 40 cents per doz en. Twenty-seven representatives voted for the little graft and 30 against it. TabercBlosIs in tbe United States. Chancellor Von Bulow, of Germany, has sent to the Reichstag a "memoran dum on tuberculosis treatment, in which be recittd facts gathered by tbe imperial health office. Out of 1000 deaths in Germany of persons between the ages of 15 and 60, 319 die of. tubercu losis alone. Persons under 15 and over 60 are seldom affected Tbe mortality of the whole population averaged 242 per 100,- 000 yearly. The conditions in Germany are shown to be better than in France, Austria and Russia, but worse than in Switzerland, Belgium, Demark, Nor way and especially England. Tbe sta tistics for to 1901 showed that on the average, out of 100 cases treated, S7.7 were dismissed as cured or im proved, 8.8 as no better, 3.1 as worse and 4 died. In concluding, tbe Chancel lor said it was hoped that the war against tuberculosis would make no further progress through the co-operation pi individuals and public bodies with the government." Tuberculosis bas increased to such an extent in the Cuited States that many cities in the west are passing ordinances and quarantining against what are com- monlr called "lungers." Tbe Poetry of the Orange. "It appeals to you when tbe fruit hangs ripe and sweet on the tree in February or early in March.
