policy of division and distraction. A
long pull, a strong pull and'a pull
altogether has achieved many a
triumph. The Oregon delegation
heavily backed by Oregon Interests
and all moving together under in
telllgent direction, can do a hundred
times more at Washington, than the
delegation can do alone, working
planless, disorganized and, as is
sometimes the case, divided. If the

A STRAXGE ANOMALY
A'
N ATTEMPT recently to pur
chase enough hogs to eat off
10 acres of field peas at the
Union experiment station re
sulted in failure. The hogs were
not to be had. The whole state of
Oregon is said to be almost bare of
them, and the incident at Union
seems to bear out the statement.
It is claimed by observers that the
backwardness of farmers with refer
ence to the swine industry is one of
the strange anomalies of Oregon.
Dr. Withycombe, director of the Ore
gon experiment station at Corval
11s, Insists that pigs fattened on
wheat under proper conditions bring
a net return of $1.50 per bushel if
the pork brings 6Va cents per pound.
With hogs selling, as recently in the
Portland market, at 8 and 9 cents
per pound, the extafcordinary price
that could be obtalnetl for wheat, if
the Pole one day might be miles
away the next day, so that records
or other objects left there would not
likely be found by a subsequent ex
plorer. Some of these ice floes ma
drift far enough to become melted
in warmer water, and others may
move, backward and forward in the
locality. It has been remarked that
when the ill-fated Jeanette was first
caught in arctic ice in 1879, she
drifted ln a circle. After five months
she was within 45 miles of the spot
where she was first caught. Dur
Ing the last six months of her 21
months of imprisonment she drifted
steadily and rapidly toward the
northwest until she was crushed and
sunk 600 miles from the coast of
Siberia. Under such conditions no
explorer could hope to leave any per
manent record of achievement at the
pole.
People generally will credit the
stories of both Cook and Peary, but
the latter had a little the greater in

SOME FURTHER REMARKS
T
HE LATEST assurance is that
in next year's census taking
Oregon is to have 500 instead
of 400 enumerators. Is the
addition to be 100 more actors in a
huge farce comedy, or 100 added
enumerators out to take a real cen
sus? If the work is to be as it has
been in the past the added 100 will
be of no avail. The money might as
well be saved. Portland's popula
tion given out by the census bureau
at 119,607, when In truth lt is more
than a quarter of a million, is an
episode showing about what the gov
ernment census is usually worth.
By Its effects lt haa been a hindrance
rather than a help to Oregon. No
city or town in the state was ever
satisfied with its census, and not
without reason. The whole bus!
ness has been a travesty, and for the
ends lt aimed at, the climax of fu
tllity. Many enumerators perhaps
did honest service, but In the main
the results were false and the.proc-
ess impossible. Mostly the census
payrolls were a pension list for po
litical favorites. The main consid
eration was salary, not service.
There was no grasp of the import
ance of tbe business in band, and no
adequate effort to make It perfect.
The farcical figures given out by the
census bureau a few weeks ago.
placing Portland's population at leas
than half what It is, is the precious
fruit.
If the same old processes are ap
plied la the coming census, the same
old farce will be enacted. If enu
merators be eelected for pull rather
than performance, there will be no
proper rensua, and te state and all
Its cities will be falsified The vast
sums expended in tbe proeeaa will be
torn thaa wasted, for If tbe enu
meration shall not be accurate. It
will be worse than worthies. Tne,

tea and flowers which was one of
China's state secretB when the dowager
emnress held the reins of Dower.
The empress was almost as famojj
for her tea as for her Iron grip on tho
government. All guests at court were
permitted to drink of the old woman's
favorite brew, and tea experts tried to
matqh the blend after they had failed to
worm the secret from servants ln at
tendance on the empress.
Every attemptr however, to produce
as delicious a cup of tea failed, and It
was not until after the empress'death
that the secret leaked out. Now it la
known that the empress gave the re
markable delicacy to her tea by mixing
with lt dried honeysuckle and jasmine
blooms. The tea itself was from the
first pickings of the Imperial planta
tions and was the finest grown,

British government as is the sugar
trust the offspring and protege of our
tariff policy," says Judson C. Wei liver
in Hampton's Magazine for October.
Founded In tariff favors, he says, and
nurtured ln tariff discriminations, it
has grown to such power and propor
tlons that the government Is overshad
owed by the might of Its creature, and
is no longer able to take away that
which it gave.
The people of the United States, ac
cording to this careful Investigation, eat
about 80 pounds of sugar each per year,
and under the system of "protection"
which the trust has Imposed ln order
that It may live and fatten, it appears
that sugar costs the people about $140,-

Eighty millions of people, multiplied

The difference between 4.96, the New
York price, and 2.70. the London price,
is 2.26 cents. That Is the exeess of the
American over the English standard
wholesale price.
Multiply your 6,400,000.000 pounds by
2.26 cents per pound, and you will get
$141,184,000. That Is the demonstration
that "protection" for the trust costs
us over $140,000,000 a year.
