Muipb.v and Kcll.v are renuivcel from
temptation to doothei wieknlness
Whiske was the chief agent in this
good ridilrtiict" to human biinis of pivv,
mid the iiiestion that comes iiiitiu.illv up
when the facts a im cousideted is How
much ait' govel eitiens mdebtetl to this
agent from their relief from feui of such
deeiH'radocs?
If we suppose that Mich men an' like
wild l'iits, incapable of reformation and
Ocrtaiu to lavage and eleetrov, then we
0-in l(Hk on (hem as on wolves for
whose scalp tlni State ollem a ivvvunl, and
whoever kills them is a public benefactor.
In that eiiKi whiskey comes to the front
as a lieuefieent agent, a protector of en
dangered humanity.
Hut we must Ih lilier.il in our ivii.-oiiiiig
Ami look at all tides of a subject. This
depraved manhood is not liorn tlio
wolf is, but was subject to the instinct of
humanity, the brotherhood of man, and,
Inntciiil of fulfilling tlmt high destiny t)f a
pure and useful hfc, through home de
praving cause, fell from grace and en
countered monil ruin. Ut us sv what
Influence consigned these, two men to their
perdition.
No doubt they !ecnino eaily iulelieteil to
drink, and so were gradually K'ruvrttl
nd debased Whiskoy must have been
the prime cause of their min, as it is of so
many others. This puts another npcct
on the tragedy that otcuned lut wtek
near Salem. Instead of claiming place a
n l.nii. fui lor or nrescrver, lieiuoi drove
thee men to destruction, made them
birds of prey, and when under its influ
ence they became dangerous to the pence
of society. A little investigation shows
that society not only tolerates, but actu
ally invites and IkeiiHStlie evil that is
most destine tive to the socid fabric and
most thiiateiiing to public afety. On
eveiy hand we ste shipwreck of hopes of
mucus, of happiness, of family ties,
Then, oee nioiiallj and the occasions are
frequent come stub tragedies as we now
leferto. Taken as a cause of human mill
and social disaster, drunkenness is the
worst foe of man. Taken as an expense to
the State, it doubles our taxes. It alo
deteriorates the l.iee phvsically as well as
mentally. It is impossible to sum up the
evils that result fiom it. It is a hot beel
bed for vice and piostitution, for no wick
edness can live without its unhealthy
stimulus
And jet, while all this is true, and the
great majority know it and assert its
truth, enlightened nations maintain by
law the right of men to destroy their fel
low men. Comment is useless. We only
call attention to these things as the dis
charge of n duty wo owe society. We
doubt very much if prohibition is xssiblo,
liecatise public sentiment is not educated
toenfoKoit. Some legislation is neces
sary to i est rain this evil. Here in Port
land high license is attempted, hut the
liquor men Ixiast boldly that they will
overturn it at the coming city election
In all large cities the licpior element holds
the b dance of power. All that can be
done is to try to educate the world to true
appreciation of right and to gradually ad
vance legislation as society liecomcs edu
cated to do right.
If it were possible to have immunity
fiom drunkenness, then we teuild pro
giess as a nation, and as a world, in n
mannei that we cannot imagine. Kvery
where the evil of liquor drinking stares us
in the face. It demorahes the vvoild.
The whiskey sellei is a leadieg factor in
politics, he sneers at religion and at law.
When some such fearful horror occurs, he
condemns the in t that he incited. The
saloons of Salem were the direct cause of
tlio murdei and suicide of which we make
mention now.
PHOFIT IN FATTENING MEAT.
This countiy oilers no moie ceitain to

growing home demand. Two years ago

who understands the sUH'k business must
peieeive that the fiiuuei who has be'ef,

that there will be noduuimition in puces.
To aigue this question sinus useless.
If there was polit in growing niiiit tluee

become when meat average's fi cents and

WILLAMETTE VAHMEB: PORTLAND, OREGON, MAY
There is no better investment than to keep
sv ine and take proper care of them. The
farmers of our region have greatl) im
proved their breeds of swine the pt few
years, which happened because enter
prising men who brought good stock
hither could not get fancy prices and took
what they could get. Heikshhe- and
l'ol.ind-Chinas came down to within the
means of every man who wanted to i.ii-e
pork. It is necessary to keep improving
for stcx k will maintain itself without care.
Our fanners have vet to leain m my of
them bow to manage swine well l'igs
mi mine' in rlnvrr and feel roots make
geoel piogress and with slight feeding
make excellent poik. There is nothing
better for oich.uds than to sow the in to
clover and let pigs fee-el it down.
It is e.iilj po iblo for a man with
means, who umleistands the ti.iele, to
make stock laisingand meat producing a
piofltiiblc business east of the mountains.
There the ranges are yet lsiundless,
though in some spots they are pirtially
eaten out. Theie is opportunity for ev cry
farmer to combine stock raising with the
pursuits of agricultuie thiougbout the
land. There need lc no fear of collapse
oi failure, meat is liteially letter than gold
and eveiy farmer who will undeitakc to
make some good lieef, and mutton, and
pork, preparing his land properly to do
so, will receive for hisefrbrtand cntei prise

THE FUTURE OF OUR FARM NO INTERESTS.
There arc many conjectures as to wheat
production in the world, many predic
tions that Indin and llussia and I'gjpt
will increase in production and destroy
the market by oui productions of bread
stud's. Wo might answer that aigument,
briefly, by calling to mind that in all the
histoiy of man there never has liecn biich
over-production as to seriously injure ag-
.
fathom in advance. Hussia retrogi.ides
rather than advances as a producer of
lireiulstufl'H. Kngland and all Kurope will
naturally produce less grain as population
ineieases and new countries become pio
ducers There is an increasing demand
for meats there, for garden btull's and for
fruits and vegetables and it is as notori
ous that grain pavs less profit than mixed
farming in old bottled countries. We do
not need to stop producing wheat for fear
of that, the vvoild will have too mueli
bread though it is well to very produc
tion as much as possible. Kgjpt will
never be again as it was in ancient times,
the granary of the world. India is lie
coining a wehat glowing eenintiy, but
cannot produce it anycheapei than it can
be produced beie, as the wheat glowing
districts of Hindostau me fat inland and
subject to heavy laihoad chaiges
South America, is looked to as a possible
bread supplying legion and the newly de
veloping counties of Noith America have
gieat productive eap.uitv If out own
Columbia region was testtd lo its full
eapacilv , if one-thiiel of the .liable laud
in the Pacific Noithwcst weie put into
wheat and could produce twenlv-live
bushels lo the acre, what would be the
icsiilt' It would be astonishing. The
wheat fields west of the C.iscatles would
expoit f0,000,000 of bushels and the
wheat fields cast of the mountains would
have a siuplus of 2lK),000,(KK) bushels,
which would bohalfof the tot.il product of
thel'intell Slates. Weeite this to show how
easy il is to liguie up icsiilts. The
cup ifitv of this region is immense, hut it
will come graduall) into production anil
follow the example of all othei countries.
The I'nittd States could luead the woilel.
The fac t is that the land has mi many
othei Uses that the biesel crop occupies
but a small area
Looking to the future of this region we

toeanv wheat 2,000 miles for twice that
monev! At that rate we could ship ever
limd as che.iplv as bv vessel, or somewhat
fiin.mnr. Il.ulro.ids may revolutionize
our commerce1.
There is nothing to distuib our hope
for the future. If prosperity attends farm
imr elsewhere in the world it should re
main peimanently with the far Northwest.
Our climate, soil and resources ol all
kinds, leave ceitainty that this country
will inositcr and continue to develop.
Agriculture, here as clscwheie, must lie
fiw, li.wisiif rninincrci.il prosperity. The
sun smiles on no fairer or more produc
tive land than this region possesses. When
this portion of the world cannot grow
wheat profitably, then it will be unprofit
able to grovvit anywhere. These lemarks
are called out by a recent editorial in the
Oregonian, which sensibly advises mixed
production, but seems to fear that other
countries c an produce wheat and under
bid us in the world's chief markets.
CALIFORNIA AND OREO0N BUTTER
We have noticed many times very un
favorable criticisms upon the Oregon
funnels who do not furnish butter for
their own State, but who depend upon
the Caliiomians for the bulk of this arti-

less she happensto live neara town where
she can have lcgular cash customeis. The
greater number of those who are situated
so as to make good butter are obliged to
take it to the nearest store oi station and
trade it off for a trifle, taking goods at a
big price in loturn. We venture to say
that plenty of butter, and just as good as
was made in California, would bo found
in market if a good cash price was to be
got foi it somewhere near home. Anvone
who is conversant with dairy ni.ittcis
knows that butter making is right down
hard work. It is from the xcry lieginning
laborious Ileie, where theie is so much
wet weather, the first step in the business
milking is an unpleasant job, though
a little planning and some hind woik
will secure sheds to milk under, with
clean straw to set the pails on. Then, all
the utensils used must be kept in the
cleanest manner, for milk absoibs any
taint that lingeis about. This constant
washing of pans and scalding of pails and
towels doubles the house work. M.ivbc
the men folks can be got to eliinn, but
then after that the woman must weak the

the sisteis if they won't make butter. It

Granite Sandstone
Tho want of a good stono for building pur
loses in Oregon has caused much time to be
spent in Man-h of it, and ciuitr a number of
quarries have been opened in every part of
the State, ami rock therefrom sul imtteet to
tho propc r tests, but until recently no stone
has been founil that woul 1 611 all the require,
ments of first-class building material. F,
Wood, ot this cit), has found a lart;e quarry
of granitic sandstone, and specimens from
ihtTerent parts of the lelge have been suh.
nutted to the most severe tests, in this city
ami also in Portland. The rod. has been
ttsted with aculs, also by heating it to a hieh
degree and then plunging it in water. It
stands all the tests to which it has beiu sub
milted, and is, unquestionably, a superior
article for budding purposes, so acknow ledged
by competent judges, analytical chemists and
experienced architects. Samples have also
hem K.st, to expeits, who pronounce it a
superior crado ot budding and ornamental
stone. The rock is of a bluish gray color
and is a h)drous silicate! or sandstone, a com.
pound of quartr, sand, alumina, magnesia and
Hater. We have in our i tfice a vase turned
in a lathe (rem the above mentioned stone,
with beads and mouldings aa perfect as
turned trom wood, we nave also seen speci
mens of carving, such ss vines, leaves, etc.,
wrought on this stone equal to any work of
that character done on marble. This is the
only ledge of this kind of stone, so far, known
on the coast. It is similar to the Bedford
oolitic stone of Ohio, and is destined to come
into general use for building purposes. This
ledge nf rock, being extensive, when opened
and thrown upon the marktt, ill give em

Jim Dip-on he talked to the ole feller a

Miss Junkin wrinkled uphei nose an
looked mournfullcr than ever.
" I lovv'd I'd get the pattern o' Lowrj-'s

the other room to git the pattern.
Lowry an' Sileeny vvuz scttin' out under
