In advance $1 00 By LYON & PATTERSON The Astorian guarantees to Its ad vertisers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia River. Californlans are justly elated over the wonderful performance of Lou Dil lon In establishing a new world's trot ting record, and of course, they credit her speed to California climate. It Is a fact that Lou Dillon did not come down "through a long line of illustrious ancestors" that had been bred to event ually produce the two-minute trotter, . nor Is she the result of any theory or plan by which such an animal was to be produced. Like Topsy she "just growed," although she has the advant age over that creature of having her parentage known. It was at famous Readville Park near Boston that she performed the wonderful feat of cover- . ing 62S0 feet in 120 seconds time, and the date was Monday, August 24. She was driven by Millard Sanders who has had her In charge since December, 190L and fn hi mAittprlv kl1 in nivnjirinp and educating the dainty, willful little Miss, is much of the credit of the great performance due. While Lou Dillon has been more than once heralded by some of the more enthusiastic as the two minute trotter there are very few who really believed she would so soon prove it, and anyone who had possessed the termerity to wager money on her trot a mile In two minutes could have had thousands of dollars covered at odds of ten to one. It was only a few weeks since the antt-two minute theorist. Dr. Geo. H. Bailey of Portland, Maine, of fered to wager that neither Lou Dillon nor any other trotter would accomplish the feat this year or next, and while there were many who were ready to combat the Doctor's theory with pen And tongue, there were none ready to cover his money, or in other words to back their judgment with their coin. In fact, the two minute trotter bad ar rived a lltle sooner than was expected by even the most enthusiastic and op timistic of breeders and trainers, but she Is here In the flesh and is California bred and born. So much has been writ ten during the past few months of Lou Dillon, ber pedigree and performances, that her mile in -two minutes is not surprising to the public even though it was not expected ,r- A model irrigated farm, practically and ideally illustrating intensive cul tivation, is being put Into perfect con dition by thje National Irrigation Con gress, so that the delegates who attend the congress at Ogden, September 15th, may have a visual demonstration of the most approved and up-to-date methods of agriculture and horticulture under Irrigation. The plans of this exhibit are being made by a special committee appointed by the congress, which has given scientific attention to the work, under the able direction of State En- I II I I r i i " Soiir Milk is Old-fashioned Rich, Sweet Cream is v the Order of the Day When meals are ready, nothing is more disagreeable or more disappointing- than to find that the cream is sour.

This model farm is laid out on land belonging to Mate Institution, where about 20 acres are used for the purpose of th!s illus tration. Methods of taking water from the river, canal and laterals will be shown In a compact territory. This usage of the water will be practically demonstrated with various kinds of growing crops. Including grains and vegetables, luscious apples and late peaches. Practical Irrigators will ac company the delegates over the ground, explaining new Inventions; various methods of spraying trees; of destroy ing orchard pests; and new methods of cultivation The Oregonlan gives first-page proml uence to a letter from J. W. Knowles on the LaGrande land office situation and In first column editorial comment that paper sees in the letter a "pictur esque and cogent form of expression which has hardly been equaled in local political annals since one T. T. Gecr wrotg himself by several Ingenious let ters into the governorship." The Ore gontan might have added, had not mod esty forbiden, that for cogency, pic turesqueness, and earnestness of ap peal, the editor of "that paper could show Messrs. Gee, and Knowles they were slow by mere reference tp the fa mous "now-ls-the-time" telegram sent out from that office to Mr. Browftell at 11 p. m., February 27, 1893. In the an nals of interesting local political his tory, that telegram comes first and the "curse him, d n him? blast bis bleed ing ey?s" Is to follow yet. According to a teijegrapnic message received by Senator Mitchell, the trans port Grant, which Is being converted into a dredge for use at the mouth of the Columbia, will not be ready before October. This information Is discourag ing, as the dredge will, if thejafest promises of tha department Is made good, be four months late. By the time she arrives the weather will probably be stormy and her operations will be Interfered with. Just what is causing all this delay is a mystery. It was originally promised that the Grant would be here in July. Other promises for the completion .of the vessel at later dates also failed to materialize. Senator Mitchell's message comes, from General Gillespie, however, and it Is probable the long-looked-for dredge will really be here next month. A telegram from Milwaukee -says that a process has been discovered whereby first class whisky can be nwde from sorghum for only 8 cents a gallon. The first cost of whiskey is tlgn of honest goods. It means want tne best UJHDEHSIHG COMPAHY, uiguana, uunou. very small. Before the war good corn whiskey retailed at sixteen cents a gallon and there was a largo profit In It at that. It Is the tax and license that constltuue the cost. Formerly any little Jim Crow dealer could put In a still and make his own liquor from apple parings that contained su gar. When the government stepped In to regulate the manufacture It neces sitated employing larger capital, hence the enormous distilleries of the pres ent day and the whiskey trust It Is estimated that one-fifth the area of Oregon has been withdrawn from entry. During the past six months withdrawals of public lands have boon especially heavy and in some Instances settlers' ranches have been Included within the reservations. If the pres ent rate of withdrawals should be kept up It will require some ten or twelve years to cover the entire surface of Ore gon with reserves und withdrawals. A reasonable amount of forest reserves may be good for a state to conserve water supply and remind the people of its relation to Uncle Sam, but the present rate Is carrying Oregon with an alarming pace toward all reserve and no state. Can it be the Interior department has designs to reduce Ore gon to territorial form? Cargo tonnage for European ports is lacking In New Tork and at this port. The big1 transatlantic liners are send ing out their great vessels with holds one half or one quarter filled. As for the tramp steamships there are no charters for them at all. These tramps might be reckoned as the very pulse of trade. The London Daily Mail prints a dis patch from St. Petersburg, which says that the Russian Admirallty's new pro gram Includes the building of six bat tle ships of 16,000 tons each, and of three armoured cruisers. Their con struction is to begin forthwith, and they are to be completed In 190C. Another carnival king is out with a proclamation. It is King Rex of Port land, and he proclaims September H to 26 a holiday season and commands his subjects to indulge in revels and hold high carnival on Multnomah field during his reign. IlHs gratifying to know that more than five sixths 'of the recruits for the United tates navy are native born, and that the number of enlisted men has already been Increased, under recent legislation, to about 29,000, and will oon reach the statutory aggregate of 31.000. The. London Spectator ranks Secre tary of State Hay among the "ablest j and most successful of living diplo mate." GOULD'S PLANS A dispatch from &m Francisco says if George Gould carries out his plans, within a short space of time he will have reached the Pacific coast with a railroad in two places, one In California and the other in Oregon. While the two roads may retain sep arate corporation identities, the man agement will be cometbing like that of the Union Pacific and the Oregon Shart Um. By the same interest the Western Pa cific is to connect the Gould system at Salt Lake with San Francisco, while the Coos Bay road is to form a link between Salt Lake and the Northwest ern Coast. It is the Intention to build up a port at Coos Bay, which will bid against Portland and Seattle for the great and growing trade of the Pacific Northwest and of Siberia, China, Corea, and Japan. The construction of the Siberian Railroad has given an im mense impetus to the trade of the Northwestern ports and Gould, backed by Rockefeller, is determined to have a share of It. The Coos Bay road has not been sur veyed. As projected in a general way it is to run from Coos 'Bay, 100 miles north of the California line, southwest through rich timber and ngrlculural districts in Southern Oregon and across Northern Nevada and Utah to Suit Lake. If rich timber district is what the proposed road is seeking, It will come up the coast from Coos Bay. JEWISH NEW YEAR The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hawh anabwlll begin September 12. The Jewish New Year, reckoned by the new moon of the seventh month, Tisrl, ushers in the civil y?ar. The celebration of Rosh Hashanah was es tablished by Mosaic precept. The re formed Jews confine the celebrntlun tu one day, but among the orthodox He brew's, the festival lasts for two days.
