In Crook county ef forts have been made to get food ies cattle into the ranges of the for est reserve. In other localities, es pecially in the southeastern part of the state,, the condition has become tery much aggravated, Floods m Lake county carried away or ruined haystacks,' and stockmen have been compelled to set their cattle adrift on the inhospitable ranges.N Sheep for which there was no food have been offered for sale for a few cents J a head by owners ln some of th storm ridden districts.

A contin uatlon of the present unfavorable con(fft.fbns wIlT greatly aggravate an already unfortunate condition. In general, the accounts are that stock men have suffered, more the present winter than at any time in many years. The temperatures have been tower, the stress of severe weather has been longer and in some parts the snowfall heavier than ln any winter during the past dozen or 15 years. However, climatically speaking, Oregon has few terrors. Even the winter is mild compared to the rig ors of other states.

H. RESIDENT TAFT has reduced Roosevelt's 18 or 19 reforma tory measures to four or five for the present jcongress, which Is greatly obliged to, him for insist ing on no more. If there is any thing that the Aldrlch-Cannon con-ia gress hates to act upon favorably, or even to consider Berlously, It is bill of a reformatory or progressive character, anything that is designed, to be of benefit to the people in general. With such a congress on his hands, the" president is perhaps wise andt excusable in not urgently recommending more than three or fouf Important new measures. -It is reported that the postal sav lnes bank bill will probably be passed. If .this should be done with out the insertion of objectionable lokers congress will have done something to relieve itself of general distrust and disapproval. Besides this, the president will Insist on amendment of the Interstate com merce law as he has recommended, giving the federal government more nower over railroads; on the confer ring on the president power to with draw public lands for conservation purposes; on an amendment of the injunction' law, and on statehood for Arizona and New Mexico. Only two of these are of first class importance, but If the president can induce con gress to do this much he will have gone far to show that he Is sincerely desirous of accomplishing some good both for the country and for his party. ??ni" ,0.b5 Pected. but , ooo per yes7 slv. h.

Another interesting vent of February 22, which has assisted in making his tory was the purchase of Florida by the United States from Spain, ln 1819. The price paid for the territory was 15,000.- 000, but possession was not. taken un til 1821. Florida was organized the fol lowing year as a territory, and was ad mitted a. a state ;on March 8, 1846. February 22 was also the date of the organization of the Republican party, ln 18ns. as a national politioal party, at Pittsburg, Pa. The name "Republican party" originated with a group of "anti Nebraska men" ln congress ln 1854, and It was officially adopted by ft state con vention meeting at Jackson, Mich., In the same year, and soon came Into gen eral use. The first candidate of this party was John C. Fremont. Other , noted events of February 22 were the battle of Buena Vista (1847); the birthday of James Russell Lowell (1818); of Rembrandt Peale, the artist (1778); "of Antoine Joseph Wlertx, Bel gium's mad painter (1806)? the day on which Amerigo Vespucci, the discoverer, died in 1612, and the day on which, in 1863, the first ground was 'broken for the Central Pacific railroad. quart of ' extract' Will of mixture to be a pencil.
