This resolution was adopted. General Manager Chilton, of th« »Southern Interstate Association, in his annual report, referred to the good work accomplished by the Florida bu reau iu sending exhibits to the North. A great deal had Ixxm done in the ad vertising line, and Southern prodnets have lx*en displaytxl in several North ern states and Canada. If their means will justify, the association promised to engage speakers to address meet ings in the North, East and West, and contend agumst the prejudice towards the South. It is also proposed to use the stertxiCojx», showing view« of in terest in the South, etc., and represen tatives will start within ten days. If the convention indorses the plan and the scope of the work mapped out, the association will liecome the most powerful body of men ever banded to gether for the upbuilding of any conn try, and the success that will speedily come to the South will be a marvel to th« whole world.

It is a very easy matter to talk about 18,000 or 211,000 horse power, but few persons realize what it means or tlie enormous force that it exerts. The new White Star line steam ships. for instance, or the Inman hue's City of New York develop from 18,000 to 29,000 horse power. They have twelve boilers and seventy-two fur- uaces, worked with forced draught. Assuming that the engines will require 18 pounds of steam per horse per hour, then llki tons of feed water must be pumped into the boilers every hour and 160 Ums of steam will pass through the engines in the same time. In twenty-four hours the feed water will amount to 3.840 tons, occupying 138.240 cubic feet. This amount of water would fill a length of 493 feet of a canal 40 feet wide and 7 feet deep. Taking the condensing water at thirty times the feed water it will amouut to 4.81X1 tons per hour, or 115,2tM) tons to twenty-four hours, or for a six day transatlantic ruu not less than 691,200 tons, or 24,883.UI0 cubic feet. This amount of water would fill a cubical tank 295 feet on the «i<le. The coal consumption is not less in teresting. Four hundred tous a day are burned on the 20.IXX) horse power pressure. This would till 4<XI wagons. It requires for its combustion 8.61X1 tons of air, occupying a space of 222.- 336,(XXI cubic feet. It is impossible to put these figures tn a shape such that they may lx* graspixl by the average reader, but then euongh has lx?eii cited to show that the circulating pumps and fan engines of such ships are a hard working lot. •W- X luting savings banks; second, in any other states upon a petition of a con siderable number of residents of any one locality and third, not more nu merously than one postoffice for every ten miles of area.

Sugar Beets. Now that a Ixiunty of two cents pt r pound is paid by the government f >r all sugar manufactured in the Uniti I States.it is time for Oregon to get a move ou herself and go for that two cents. This 6ectiou of Oregon has not as yet proved to the world that it can profitably produce the sugar beet, but we are ready to affirm, upon "in formation nnd belief:" that Southern Oregon can raise unlimited quantities of this saccharine vegetable ami tlmt the same can lx» manufactured into sugar at a fair profit to nil interested —the pnxlueer. the manufacturer ai <1 the consumer. We know of no rea son why such should not be the case. We have an abundance of the very best of soil, the climate is favorable, and nil that is necessary to go into the sugr making business on a large scale is for some one to furnfeh tlie sends to put in n plant, rustle around among the farmers and induce them to plant the beets, and the thing is done. It is estimated that a good plant, sufficient for present pur|S»-mn, could lx? produced for $125,<Xk) to $150.099, and that it would require about 1090 acres ol beets to feed it. Alxiut 29 tone of beets ¡x-r acre coul I grow in any ordinary year, if not more, which at $4.59 per ton, delivered at the factory, ought to be sufficient in ducement for many of our farmers to take bold with a will mid help start the enterprise along. The cost of planting ami cultivating beets is about the same as that of corn, and it ap pears that the profits would be mil -h greater. It won’t do any harm to think tlie matter over and lx? pre pared to talk business with the first man who comes along and proposes to put up a sugar factory. In the meantime if any of our farmers, or any one else, knows of any reason win beets cannot be grown in the Umpqua valley we would like to hear from them. If sugar Ixets won't grow in Douglas county th« sixmer it is found out thelx-iter. | Plamdcaler. Ailvl«e to Mother*.

In a conversation with Mr. Mulkev a few dnvB ago, says the Hreeder and S/>ortxii'uin, the history of Old Lum mux came up. and as Cy first went to Oregon in 1847, with the gentleman, Mr. Owensby, who brought the old horse across the plains, it is fair to as sume that our informant should know considerably about the horse that made a good name for himself in Ore gon, in the years gone by. Mr. Mul key says that in the early part of the 40's, a band of horses was brought from the North to Missouri.and on arriving at the place where .Mr. Owensby live t permission w;is asked to leaven milie with him as she was unwell. In con versation it was found out that thee • men bail a band of race horses that they were taking through the country for the piir|><>He of making matches with them; t bey promised to pay him well for his trouble, ami the mare wee left with Owensby, Nothing fitrtb r was heard from them, and in the fol lowing spring be bred the mare to Barnes's Black Whip, a son of Old Whip, and the result was a horse colt. About the time neceessary to wean th« colt these men returned and were de lighted to find Owensby was still there and hud the mare iu his possession. Sqyefectory arrangements were made for the keep of tlie mare, and they made a present to Mr. Owensby of th« colt, telling him at the time that the mare was a Printer. When Owensby come to Oregon m 1S47, he took the colt with linn and fie s?ood for service in Oregei: for a number of years. One of bis colts was a* a rac« meeting in 1855, when several horsemen were in vited around to take a l<x>k at him, and then a piomin«nt trainer was asked what be thought of the colt, and his answer was. "Why. lie is a per fect Itinimux.” and from tuat day the colt was called Lummox, and the old horse that was brought overland b Mr. Owensby wss afterwards calle! Old Lummnx.
