British India supplies the greatest part v these skins, awarding to a report of the Department of Commerce and La bor; China eonies next In the amount sent here, whiK Mexico and France each sent In more than 11,000,000 worth of hides.

Its feed should not deduct much from the profit to be found in the Industry. WEATHER. " . Western Oregon and West- era Washington Occasional rains. : ,. ' THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENS. There? are two bills, fathered by the. Typographical Union of Salem, that ire are explicitly and unreserved ly opposed to, oa grounds of common business expediency both for the state and the cltlsen: They are a menace to the vested businesses of the state nd the hundred's of" thousands of dol lars of working capital In that par ticular industry, as well as the right of the printer and the book-binder to bis wage and sustenance. We allude to the bill compelling the public building commission of the state to erect and equip a state print -err, at a cost of $60,008 for site, bond ing and plant; and to the bill provid ing tor the election of a state printer and the appointment an4 employment of book-keepers, stenographers, proof readers, foremen, printing and binding mechanics, and laborers; and for the maintenance of incidental repairs, contingent expenses and Ink; and for printing and binding materials, at an outlay of $48,000 per annum, the same to be Increased, ad libitum, as the business of the state shall increase from year to year. We are not contend ing against the propositions because of this Typographical Union's father ing of them, but npon the ground of their Heedlessness, and the direct In Jury they will do the private Interests in tils line throughout the state. It might be well to employ a state printing expert, at a good salary, and make him utterly responsible for the public printing, under a large and re sponsible bond; but beyond this the state should not dabble with the busi ness at all. Put the printing out upon free and open bids Just as all other supplies are secured; put the succes ful bidder under strong bonds for the faithful performance of his, or their, contract, tfli do this business just as other functions of public supply are conducted. The proposed bills open np a broad and simple road to con stant graft, and the element of scan dal possible Is incalculable. Do busi ness with the citizens at large, and not with any particular trade or source of supply; give the man with money Invested a chance to make something in his own line. The printers and binders cannot object to this plan, oiuce their employment is assured in any event; and the less public insti tutions there are to nurse and nour ish, the better for the whole state. The propositions are dangerous in that they contribute another phase In the political establishment of the state, and this is not neeerea. If we know anything about the temper of the People of Oregon. We shall fight the bills to a stand-still, along with many other papers and collateral businesses affected, and we are not altogether selfish in the contest, either; for we have the right to protest against the invasion of the private right as well as to contend against the setting up of useless and expensive public ad juncts. :.'-.. e - CANT BUTT IN.

German scientists announce that the material for a man weighing ISO pounds can be found In the white and yolk of 1.2G0 hen's eggs. Reduced to a fluid the average man would yield ninety-eight cubic meters illuminat ing gas and hydrogen enough: to till a balloon capable of lifting 155 pounds. The normal human body has In it the iron needed to make seven large nails, the fat for fourteen pounds of candle, the carbon for sixty-four gross of crayons, and phosphorus enough for $20,000 matches. Out of It can be obtained besides twenty coffee spoons of salt, fifty tumps of sugar and forty-two liters of water.

It MMMMe4M OUR HELP, YOUR INVESTMENT It is stated on excellent authority that Ringllng Brothers, the great show people, have ordered all of their char lots equipped with motive power by one of the great firms of automobile makers at Detroit, Mich. It, is said that It will cost no less than $200, 000 to make the changes. Horses will be eliminated from the show so far as moving the great wagons is con cerned The contract for the change requires that the work be done before the season for opening arrives, April 1, when the show appears in Chi cago. . Dr. Willoughby, the well known lec turer on food products, interviewed on tho subject said: "Egs are really the only concentrated . food known. When I am pressed with work, I find nothing batter in sustaining power than a few eggs broken Into milk and swallowed, for in all that goes to re pair the waste and supply fuel, they are as good as a big dinner." Now comes the season of discontent, when your bpdy with chills Is sorely rent, your summer's wages almost spent, your winter's song the Chump's Lament Alas! too soon, you will dis cover, that troubled dreams of the loving lover, the fondling visions that In fancy hover, is the result of your wife swiping all the cover. Thomas A. Edison claims that he can make an automobile for $200 that will last for fifteen years. But why should anybody want an automobile that will last as long as that? We will all be flying In less than fifteen years from now. : Prosperous America sent more than $123,000,000 abroad for luxuries dur ing the fiscal year ended June $0 last These figures do not include the scores of millions of dollars spent by Ameri cans traveling in foreign countries, o "Credit Is better than money," says James J. Hill, president of the. Great Northern Railroad But you betif you ride on Jim's road or ship any hogs or cattle alnog his line, you will have to put up the cash or Its equivalent. Can't that currency bill which is supposed to provide money for bank ers in times of great need, be stretch ed to include the rest f '? Bank ers are not the only people who want money the worst way In time of need. RETAIL PROFIT IS ONLY A FEE FOR SERVICE, AFTER ALL WE WAIVE THAT ON SOME OF THESE PIANOS IF INTERESTED READ ON. We are more Interested In secur ing a Urge number of sales Just now than we are in getting fewer sales of the more expensive ones at the larger prices fancy ones bring. It's a hard matter for anyone to decide about buyinf piano when but tiod or $250 is Available for its pur chase. It's all In the Judgment shown in the selection, after the time In which to buy has first been decided on.; If you are looking for a safe, sure opportunity to secure a reliable piano bargain, you should look these up. Any one of them will do for the hardest kind of service, and all are ; under priced Some will go at first cost on account of having been rented or ex changed; or having stood around In stock two or three months, in the way of more instruments coming. You may ask why not wait a few days and then see the newer stock? In answer we will say that consider ing the price we will have to ask for the latest goods, you wouldn't pay the difference if you knew (In advance of seeing newer ones) what you could get a satisfactory piano for now, from the present splendid showing of new and used ones- And we have fine new ones on hand now, too, that you can't better anywhere, if you atlll de cide you want a new one after mak ing a calL Come in, anyhow, or a sort of pre liminary visit, and inspect these, and you will know then that you haven't allowed an opportunity to pass you by even if you do not purchase one from our present showing. Being able to please our patrons Is our profession; and we no more ex pect to sell you a piano right off, than a physician would expect to cure a patient in one visit We will study your needs and help you to decide satisfactorily; and for such service we most certainly expect to be paid; but we will call it "getting paid" if we realise first cost on some of these splendid bargains, and slight ly more than the cost on the rest But you must hurry; that is in the bargain, too.

Interesting Busin Session at First ' ; Baptist Churek The Baptist church held Its annual business meeting yesterday afternoon. A special and new feature was the roll rail in connection with it The business meeting was called to order at t o'clock. Prof. & K. Dlebel act Ing as moderator. t At : JO supper was served In the basement After sup per the roll was called and nearly all th resident members responded eith er In person or by proxy. Letters were alo read from Mrs. Trumbull and Rev. L, J. Trumbull, late pastor of the church. Following this brief addresses wert given by persona rep resenting the different departments of the church, showing the present con dition of the church work. This was the first' meeting of the kind the church has ever held and was In ev ery way a success. The affair had not been made public and was confined almost entirely to the members of the church, the prime object being to get the members of the church together for confidential discussion of matters of Interest and Importance to the or ganisation. The church has not yet settled on a pastor but all the services are maintained, except the Sunday evening preaching service. Th com mittee appointed for that purpose Is bu?y corresponding and It Is expected that a pastor will be located soon. All lines of work are In good condition, several new members have been added recently, all of which reflects credit ably on the work done by Mr. Trurn bull, who left the church a few months ago after a twelve years'- pas torate.
