A very enjoyable "Tiddledy Winks"
party was held at the residence of Mrs.
A. M. Williams on Thanksgiving night.
The following are the names of yie par
ticipants : The Misses Maie and Nettie
Williams, Louise Ruch, Nellie Mick ell,
Gertrude Myers, Lizzie FitzGerald,
Matilda Hollister, and Miss Lown ; and
Messrs. Ed and Griff Williams, Harry
Lonsdale, -Sam Campbell, ' Herman
Ernst, Dr. Sutherland and Mr. Lakin.
We are informed that there is some
dissatisfaction expressed in regard to the
report published about the Thanksgiv
ing party. It seems that those who re
ceived booby prizes object to being called
Btantly expecting to have his head taken
off because he said the foot prize (not
booby) for the lead pencil sharpening
contest was a lot of gun wads fixed on a
. ribbon when it ought to have been corn
plasters. Captain John Lewis was as happy this
morning as a boy in his first pants. The
mail brought him a package of liver
worst, a favorite refection of the cap
tain's younger days, which some one
who knows his weakness, thoughtfully
sent him. It is safe to say that the only
one who will get any of that liver-worst
will be Judge Tborn bury,, who, being a
Pennsylvania Dutchman, was partly
raised on it himself: but wh.at a feast of
reason and flow of soul there will be in
the old land office building while the
package lasts. -
We learn from - the Olacitr that the
Hood River valley is soon to, be the
scene of a grand literary gladiatorial con
test on the momentous question : "Re
solved, that if a man had hold of a
tiger's tail it would be better to hold on
than to let go." The battle will be
fought on the evening of . the 2d prox.
and the versatile editor of the Glacier
will lead the hosts on the affirmative
side. Now let the world hold its .breath
till this question is decided.'
A Model Heat Market and racking;
House. .
The Columbia Packing company have
moved into their new quarters en the
corner of Washington and Third and it
is safe to say that a more handsome or
completely equipped, meat market does
not exist in Oregon. We don't believe
there is anything to equal it in Portland.
Its every apartment is as complete as
money and skill could make it. The
entrance is on Third street and the en
tire front is made of slat doors so hung
on weights and. pulleys that a slight
effort throws them np out of the way.
Inside the entrance on the right is a fine
Fairbanks beam scale with a weighing
capacity of 1100 pounds. The walls on
each side are covered with heavy de
tachable meat hooks and ' nearer, the
counter there are two handsome tinned
detachable meat racks. The counter is
a .handsome piece of workmanship in
oak, oiled and varnished, of octagon shape
and covered with plates of white marble.
Instead of the ungainly butcher's block
made out of a cut from a pine log there
are two fine sectional blocks of rack
maple framed with such excellent skill
that they are at once as handsome as
they are useful and necessary. Back of
the counter and at a convenient distance
from it is a neat little office. ; Passing
through the market proper one enters a
large apartment known as the. lard and
sausage room. On the right is another
'sectional chopping block on which stands
a heavy hand rocker for chopping meats.
On the left is a Pelton water motor
which drives a Ruffalo power chopper
and mixer with a capacity of 200 pounds
an hour. Here also is a spice mill which
is driven by the motor and a large zinc
lard cooler which has an ingenious de
vice known as an agitator for bringing
the air into contact with' the lard while
in process of cooling. Back of the lard
and sausage room is the packing and
cutting room. Here adjustable books
are conveniently suspended, sufficient to
accomodate 80 hogs at one time. Here
too is another pair of Fairbanks scales'
with a weighing capacity of 1100 pounds ;
a sausage smoker made of sheet iron ; a
20 gallon kettle for cooking sausages ; a
90 gallon lard kettle, cutting benches,
blocks and a fifty gallon ratchet feed
lard press, a spout from which conveys
the. lard to the cooler already spoken of.
A gallery extends the whole way across
the a partment which serves for the stor
age of salt, sugar, etc. On this gal
lery rests a large pickle mixing tub,
from which a hoe can be attached to
drain the brine into the' curing vats in
the cellar or convey it back again by
means o a force pump. Underneath
this room is the cellar where all the cur
ing is done. The floor 'is covered with
sixteen immense vats, each of which has
a curing capacity for 120 hams. Here
too are a number of square boxes for
dry salting. The salting table has at
tached to it a force pickle pump by
means of which when it is desired to
cure meats speedily the brine can be
forced into them. A smoke room, three
stories in height has its fire place on a
level with the floor of the cellar ' and a
large elevator connects the cellar with
the upper floor by means of which the
meats can be handled with the greatest
convenience. The building itself has
been specially fitted up by its owners
French & Co., and no expence seems to
have been spared to make it what it is.
All the machinery and fixtures put in by
the packing company are of the latest
and most approved patterns and designs
and the whole makes it about as com
plete an institution of the kind as one
can well conceive of . - : '
DIED.

' ' : ;', A Talk With The Farmers.
By the kindness of the editor and
through the columns of our . Dalles
Chbonicle I will make a few remarks to
you which I hope may meet your
approval and, some day prove a great
benefit to the farmer. . First of all I
must say I have watched you very care
fully ever since I was old enough to re
member and your constant aim has been
to restore and . maintain honest justice
to all alike. '. You have formed in so
cieties and secret orders to try and help
your depressed condition but it all seems
of no avail so far and the banker and
speculator grows richer and richer while
you are either holding your own or get
ting farther behind. Now there is cer
tainly some unjust causq for all this and
I believe if the right cord was pulled,
things would take a change and the
hard working farmer who owns a farm
and attends to his work would not suffer
to see his property sacrificed to meet his
necessary expenses. Our laws are such
that a few men may get together and
call themselves bankers, incorporate,
deposit bonds and issue bank notes and
they pass anywere in the United States
for money and is worth its face value.
A farmer can borrow this money by pay
ing ten per cent interest and all neces
sary expense provided he can give good
security. The interest must be paid at
least once a year. If he has $800 bor
rowed the interest will be $80. In five
years time he has paid out $400 interest.
In ten years he has paid out $800 and
still owes the principal. - Our law
makers tried to help you a little by say
ing that no one should charge more
tban 10 per cent, which only causes a
worse depression in money matters and
money lenders only get a heavier bonus
by this law and now have a better
chance of robbery than before, because
these larger companies have left the field
and you have to take what you can get
and pay all they ask. And even then
when these large loan associations were
making so many large loans all over the
country did yon ever stop to tkink what
it was bringing upon your shoulders?
Say for instance the Scotch Loan com
pany was to loan a million dollars in
this vicinity and charge 10 per cent, and
in five years take it all out again. They
would take out the million and send it
back to Scotland ; that part is all right
for that much was their ' money, but
what about the half million interest
money? ' How much of it would be used
in manufactories and mills and other
improvements to help build up the
United States?' None. It would all go
to Scotland together, very likely, never
to return. How long can you farmers
stand this drainage. - There, you see is
a constant leak. Maybe it may ' not be
you who are paying this leak, but your
neighbor gets short and can't pay you
what. he owes you, so you can not pay
some one else and to you are all short
and have " plenty of good debts if you
could only collect them, to pay all you
owe. If a banker can pnt up bonds and
make money, why can't a farmer bond
his land lor an appraised value and
issue a certain per cent, of money and
thereby save taxes and interest and let
the bonds stand as long as he likes and
use the money, pay no interest and loan
it to his neighbor at a very low rate of
interest, say 2 per cent. ; let that de
pend upon the demand. . If every
farmer who owns a deeded piece of land
was allowed to issue upon these bonds a
reasonable amount . of money, and
it not ; cost him anything except
actual ' expense of bonds, etc.,
how much foreign money would be
loaned at 10 per cent or, even one-half
that amount? and besides all the inter
est. Money would be kept at home and
increase instead of decrease. Some may
think that this plan would fiopd the
country with money, well if it does let it
flood the country, better do that than
see your neighbor's last wagon and
team or home sold at sheriff's 'sale and
bring fifty cents on the dollar of what it
is worth. Another advantage in this is
where there are some people who could
not keep a mortgage off their . hqme.
Now if they have their place mortgaged
for $800 and pay 10 per cent in five years
they pay $400 interest and the cost of
making but the papers etc., and on
the other hand if they bond their home
for $800 in 5 years they have onlytb pay
thejcost of making bonds etc.,. no. in
terest to pay and the bonds can stand as
long as the government of the .United
States does, so long as the taxes above
the pi ice of the bonds are paid which
would be a very small amount and you
can leave your land to your children to
use their life time, when if : it was mort
gaged it would have to be paid or sold.
Bonding a home would be sure death to
the mortgages and still a man could
sell one subject to ttie bond.' Our laws
are such that a debt cannot touch a
homestead but they don t keep off' mort
gages, but ; you could bond your . home
and still live and die on it and no one
could say pay me the interest or I will
sell it. JI firmly believe that if my plan
should ever become a law it - would give
every man a home that no one would
mortgage and save many a good man
from begging. Should the editor of the
Chbonicle allow us Bpace in his valuable
paper I would be pleased to hear from
many of you and thoroughly discuss this
plan and if we think it will help us in
our financial depression we . can then
try to pass such laws. No. 9.

A Favorite Remedy.,
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
favorite during the winter months on ac
count of its great success in the cure of
colds. There is nothing that will loosen
a severe cold so quickly, or as promptly
relieve the lungs. Then it counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia. It is
pleasant and safe to take, and fully
worthy of its popularity. For sale' by
