' orlcconcern.F,mtniIMtuie.snllnl)ilr ()f lipl()lmljl. of an ammonia baking iowder, .boasts um mmi u ,:,:.,, llImvlu,rn that its yearly prolits me ovti' yearly profits aie over a million dollars. While, porhapH, noiio , of the makiT of alum powders mdi ( vuhially can show so largo earnings, ! yel their profits aio onormous. J i A htisiness m profitnlile will always j attract to itself those whose greed will j cause them to utterly disregard the ellect their trallie may have upon tho health or life of others. Alum baking powders are intro duced largely by gifts, prizes and lot tery schemes. A piece of glassware or china, a child's wagon, sled, a powter spoon or some other article oi at tractive appearance, but of small intrinsic value or cost, is given with each purchase or a number is attached to tho can which entitles the cus tomer to a similarly numbered article or to a prize of some kind. It is in some such wav as this that the trade I in alum and atninoni.i baking powders n 1 has now attained such giant pro- j portions and (heir consumption by the public has reached an extent which is truly alarming. Tho highest authorities of all coun tries condemn the use of alum in hi oad without reserve In America the most distinguished physicians, chemists and hygienists have declared that the I nil lie in alum baking powders should bo suppressed by law. In England anil France where tho sub ject of pure food, and its ellect upon the system has been more fully con sidered and made tho subject of ox tended experiments by the scientists, so serious a matter is tho use of alum in bread or other food considered to be, that most stringent laws havo been enacted to prevent it. These laws are rigidly enforced, and tho sale of alum , , . , . i i o.iKing powuers wouiu noi uu mitted for an hour. Any ono who' attempted to make them for uao in food, or attempted to uso them for raising bread, biscuit or cako, would stiller severe penalties. The ill efreets upon tho system of food raised by alum baking powders are tho more dangerous because of their insidious character. It would bo less dangerous to tho eonnnunity wore it fatal at once, for then such food would bo avoided ; but their deleterious action because imperceptible at first is no less certain. Tho puckering ellect which alum has when taken in tho mouth is familiar to everyone. I'hysicians say this satiio od'ect is produced by it upon tho delicate coats of the stomach and intestines. What housowifo would take homo to hor family a can of alum or ammonia baking powder if sho know it. Such powders net only undermine tho system, but it is point ed out that amiiionia taken into tho system in infinitosimal dosos day after day, imparts a sallow and blotched appearance to tho complexion. Jt is safe to discard ull baking pow ders sold with a prize or gift. What a misnomer aro tho words "Absolutely Pure," aH applied to bak ing powders. Two of tho largest sell ing brands, ono made from alum, tho other containing ammonia and both oi thoso drugged baking powders, havo stamped upon their labols and circu lar thoso words, "Absolutely I'ure." As h matter of fact thoy are "Absolute ly 1'oor," as shown by ofllcinl exami nations.

He has one cabinet position certain, and possibly two or three lo give out, two positions on the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, with salaries :f'S,000 equal to members of the cabinet without the responsibility, worry and hard work attached to the administration of the a Hairs of the great executive depart ments of (lie government; there are nine life-time positions on tho hem h of the new circuit court, one of which is believed lo have been pre-emplcd by Attorncv-General Miller. lii-siiloM n I ..nil,,,,,,,,.,.,:,, Ilf ,.. w. ...... toms at New York which Knssetl will resign. It 1ms been seldom that a j, resident has at one time had (lie disposition of so much patronage so Into i:i his term. Tho re was a rumor hern this week that representative Mills would shortly write a letter modifying bK position in regard to tho free coinage of silver, but it was not generally believed. Ono member of the house said of it: "Take my word for it theio is nothing m it. As you know I am not in favor of Mills for speaker, but u have known him for years and beliovo him to be too honest a man lo chaugd his views or pretend to do so in order to curry favor with anybody or to secure any position. lie has for years been an ardent advocate for tho fieo eoiu HL'c of silver and I shall be e-reatlv 0 , , :f ,, snrtirisfMl II ho imfu lint, rmtinii, uik.1, . ,, , . ,rii,r n,..i he would be foolish enough to swallow his honest convictions, such a course would kill him at home, for tho senti ment in Texas is all for freo coinage." Tho big lawyers who practice before the United States Supremo Court aro looking forward to sonio very rich picking in the proposed suit against the Hell Telephone company by the Western Union Telegraph company, for tho purpose of reopening a caso recently decided by Judge Lowell in the U. S. court district of Massachu setts against the Western Union com- pany, tho claim oeing that evidence will bo produced to show that the judge was by reason of relatives own ing stock therein unduly inllueiiccd in favor of tho Hell company. This is not tho first tune flint, itidiinul null nr. pei-i....,;.,., nm.,(ir(. ' of the United States government have been charged with aiding by illegal methods the Hell company, and now it is hoped that tho Western Union monopoly, which has quite as much money to spend in finding out the truth as the Hell con cern will spend to conceal it, will suc ceed in letlinu it be known to tho public, upon which both concerns havo grown bloated by taxing tho peo ple upon millions of watered stock. It is not probable that one ol these monopolies is ono whit worse than tho other, bul it is only by their lighting each other that the truth will over be found out. It is but another exempli fication of the adago: "When rogues fall out" etc., and it will bo some satis faction to sco tho lawyers bleed them as they havo bled the people. The two men upon whoso opinions tho Chilian steamer Itata was chased in the open sea by tho cruiser Charles ton Secretary Tracy and Attorney General Miller had tho satisfaction this week, as representatives of this government, of making an agreement with tho representatives of tho now Chilian government which ends that episode without expenso to this country, Under this agreemont tho Itata is to bo released and tho caso against her nolle pressed, and tho Chilian government is to pay tho ox ponfeo of the Charleston's long trip. Much regret is expressed horo at tho resignation of Judgo T, At. Cooloy, of Michigan, chairman of tho Interstato Commerce cominuioii, on account of bad health. It U now settled that Mr, Hlaiuo will return to Washington by October 1st, ami IiIm rosldonco U now being propared for hln family, Ifo will find the officials of his department in a somewhat disgruntled condition, owing to Mr. Harrison's having, for some reason, sren lit to transmit his orders for that department through Secretary Tracy instead of comimutifatim: witl the department diicet.

Hi, 1S!M, llies.inu be ing based upon reports, received from 1-17 correspondents, which is us follows: WKSTKHN OltlKlO.V. Weather. The temperature has been lower than tho pier.-dliih week. Tho weather has lieen cloudy or partly cloudy, wilh rain in the latter pait of the week. An earthquake was felt. especially in the Willamette valley, about II o'clock on the evening of tho Kith. Crops. Hop picking is nearly over. Tim lp crop will amount to about two thirds of a cropr the hee and mould having damaged the other third. Worn in Jackson :wid Josephine counties is being cut. Tho yield is larger Uipju for many yiavrs. Grapes in the sou6hern counties are ripening and wine making will begin within a few weeks. Threshing is- generally over except mi occasional email .stack in a few localities. Kcpoiln continue to indicate that the farmor are nil pleased with tho pioducts secured, save hops. IVaches, pears, apples and melons are very plentiful and tho yield has been more than an average. The prune crop has been fully an average and tho drying of them yet continues. Some plowing has- been commenced. KAK'l'KUN OIIKOO.V. Weather. Cooler weather lias pro vailed, with light winds and clouds. On the more elevated portions, light frosts have occurred. Crops. Wheat, oats, barley and rye have all been cut anil threshing is in progress, especially in tho counties cast of and south of tho Hluo moun tains. Threshihg is practically over in Umatilla county. In Morrow county thero were not enough sacks to hulil the wheat audi more havo beeu ordered. In other counties tho sup ply of Backs was about used up, show ing the grain to havo yielded so much more than was expected. Tho yield of cereals is unusually great in all interior counties. Preparations uro being mado for preparing tho ground for seed, summer fallow is being worked and many sections expect to havo as largo or larger acreage next year, than they hud this year. H. S. HAGUE, Observer, U. S. Weather Uureau. DrunkonnoB-t a Disease. Tho now treatment for drunkenness and tho opium Imbit, says tho Con tralia News, for which an institute at this placo is proposed, is a decided innovation on tho old method of treating these things as nothing more or lees than moral depravity. Thoso habits aro now described, named and diagnosed as nothing but diseases, and the craving for narcotics as but their symptoms. The patient is dosed with bi-chloridoof gold and at tho samo time furnished with all tho wniskoy ho wants. It is claimed that in from three to six days all desiro or inclination for whiskey or opium leaves tho pationt. Tho patient is not, liowover, deprived of his favorito drug if ho wantH it. So far from that ho is furnished with a bountiful supply and loft to quit of his own accord. Tho bi-ohlorido is said to bo just as effica cious in tho caso of tho tobacco habit. An old smokor and ohowor of forty yours will commonco taking tho remedy, and is surprised in u few days to find himbolf forgetting to light his pipoor whittle on his plug. Uoforo ho knows it ho is neither chewing nor smoking, and this without any ellbrt at all on his part.
