From Pythias.
Old Yamhill should have several
lodges.
Hon. Heury Blackman has been a P.
C. since June 30, 1867.
Who is the oldest member in this
state? Major Jack Strstman claims tbe
honor of Washington.
Hon. Jeff Myers, the youngest mem
ber of tbe Oregon senate, left after the
close of the grand lodge, for a business
trip through the Atlantio states.
Brother Jas. W. Hare, tbe Astoria
Wannamaker, has a high appreciation of
Yamhill county. A toast, "The Ladies
of Tamhill," could be appropriately re
sponded to by him.
R. E. Frenoh, proprietor of the Park
theater, is a member of the order, and
Knights visiting the city will do well to
remember this fact when contemplating
attending a plaoe of amusement. j
Tbe memorial services held during the
session of tbe grand lodge, were very
impressive, and the remarks by Past
Grands Hochstedler, Curtis, Buohanan
and Jett, went to the hearts of every
listener. P. G. 0. Curtis acquitted him
self admirably.
There was a lively oontest over the
plaoe of holding the next session of the
grand lodge, but the friends of Eugene
secured for that city tbe honor. Albany
will make an effort to secure the prize in
93. Albany's delegates worked faithfully
to seoure it for next year.
Of the more important business trans
acted at tbe recent session of the grand
lodge was the granting of charters to
fifteen new lodges, the raising of tbe
salary of the G. K. R. & 9. to 8750 a year,
defeating tbe resolution to decrease the
representation, making a law that will
hereafter exolnde saloon-keepers, and
appropriating 8200 toward defraying the
expenses of r. U. U.

COAST STOCK RANGES.
The cenBoa bulletin on "range live
stock" Bays: Outside the stock taken
by regular enumerators as " on farms,"
this investigation shows upon the ranges
in California, in the oensus year of 1890,
241,300 cattle, 22,542 horses, 1,409 mules,
897,896 sheep and 9,110 swine, with 1,782
men employed as herders, etc The fig
ures for tbe range stock of Eastern Ore
gon are: Cattle, 263,584, horses 94,469,
sheep 1,170,116. Washington .wnnot muoh
longer olaim to hi a range stook State.
The wheat-growers Bre rapidly appropri
ating the ranges, and only ten oountiee
located in the eastern portion of the
State have stock langes, and these in
limited numbers. - The loss in 1889 by
winter storms is estimated at fully 50
per oent of a all stook. The number of
range cattle is given at 61,105, range
horses at 24,299, and sheep at 208,218.
In 1880 "Washington as a Territory was
a flourishing grazing district. It is now
a flourishing wheat field. The ranges of
Arizona are not, as a rule, overcrowded,
and wool-growers have not as yet occu
pied extensive ranges, except in Apache
and Yavapai counties. The range stock
of Arizona is reported as follows: Cattle
659,758, horses 18.557, mules and burros
1.203. sheen 41.708. swine 3,013. On ac
count of the very protracted dry spells
of late years tbe industry of Nevada bsB
been muoh depressed. No figures are
given for Nevada.
:AND:
In a recent interview between Senator
Blackman and a Telegram reporter, the
whole of which was published In this
paner, the senator placed himselt on
record as being in favor of an extra ses
sion of the legislature, for the purpose of
making an immediate appropriation to
build a portage road above The Dalles.
Under tbe present pressing demands it
would seni highly proper not to wait
till next session of tbe legislature for
action in the matter. The portage at the

SHEEP AND WOOL NOTES.
Brule county, South Dakota, contains
over 12,000 sheep.
Uniform feeding of sheep during a
given time preoeding winter is neoes
sary tr prevent losing wool in tbe suc
ceeding spring.
Wool alone does not pay in the opinion
of many discouraged sheep men. But
wool and mutton together do pay; there
is happily no doubt o.'V.hat.
Ti e wool and mani; Jo" yay for the keep
of a sheep, as many fcest, and the lambs
are all profit. What ouher olass of stock
will show as large apev oent of profit?
Every farmer should keep ten sheep and
most of tbem from fifty to one hundred.
Sheep must go into winter quarters in
good condition if they are expected to
winter well. Look over your flook now,
aud ii they are not all up to the mark
do your beat to make tbem so as speed
ily as possible. It will pay better to give
extra feed and care now than to have an
unthrifty flock on your hands through
the winter.
Field and Farm (Colo.) says: So long
as mutton oommands its present figures
in tbe Denver market, sheep-raising will
be a good paying business. No matter
what tbe price of wool is, it will in re
ality pay to grow sheep for mutton alone,
and the money obtained from tbe wool
will be all clear gaiu. Much loss may be
prevented in raising sheep by keeping
them ooustantly under your care. An
important point is that they will flourish
on a short range and then they yield
readily to will in the matter of breeding
There is no good reason why 100
healthy Merino ewes should not bring
100 healtbv lambs every year. But no
such rosult can be depended upon in
oases where ewes are forced to suckle
their lambs up to within a few days be
fore the time of breeding tbem again
Tbe flockmaster who has not yet learned
that bis breeding ewes need several
weeks rest from the exhaustive effects of
nonrishing their lambs before being bred
again has yet to learn a very important
fact in the business of sheep husbandry
for it. Now, who in the world demands
poor butter? Create that which is want
ed and you command a good market
Don't waste your time with soap grease
and expect to get prioes paid only for
gilt edge artiole of batter.
In marketing butter perhaps tbe most
important thing is to have it put up in
good and attractive form. If tubs are
used they should Blways be well soaked
in brine beforehand. The butter had
best be put up in rolls of one or two
pounds, each wrapped in butter paper
nr butter cloth dipped in brine. Fanay
butter, however, is usually put up in
brick shape and shipped in butter boxes
The dairyman who aspires to make a
reputation of gilt-edge butter should
have bis own stamp and put bis good
character in bis butter. Put it up in at
tractive packages of on3 half or one
pound cakes, neatly wrapped in butter
paper, and packed in clean boxes. He
should never forget that it is polish that
pays.

A QUEER PLACE.
There are some queer wells on Gray's
harbor near OcoBta. Tbe queerness it)
in the fact that the water in the wells
rises and falls with the tide. In order
to strike water it is neoessary to bore
125 feet. It rises in tbe pipe at high
tide about three feet above tbe leyel of
the ground; at low tide it falls to about
two feet below the surface of the ground.
In tbe harbor the rise and fall of the
tide is ten feet.
There are other queer, features about
Ooosts, particularly in the summer sea
son. In order to pass along the princi
pal boulevard, even in tbe daytime, it is
necessary to fight mosquitoes with Doth
hands or suffer torture indescribable,
exoept by those who have been there to
see for themselves. At high tide tbe
town site down near tbe harbor is flooded
to a depth vprying from two to four i
inohes.
When the writer first visitr d Ooosta,
there was not a horse in the town, nor
was there any chance to take one in ex-
:ept by boat. All lumber had to be
oarted around by band. Ocosta has
picked up some sinoe that time, and
though the youngest town on Gray s
Harbor, is the most promissing of tbem
all. But this is not saying muoh, for
we will vonttire the assertion that there
is more business done in Heppner than
in all the towns of Gray's Harbor, com
bined. Stay in Eastern Oregon.

DAIRY NOTES.
The profits of winter dairying are
double those of summer dairying.
If tbe men do the milking it is a good
thing to impress upon tbem the fact that
water is better than milk to wash their
bands in. Cleanliness is next to God
liness.
The dairyman needs to bear constantly
in mind the faot that nature must be
first sustained, and that only after that
baa been accomplished does tbe food go
to tbe milk, the last handful of feed con
tains tbe largest per oent of profit. The
food must be so abundant and nutritious
as to have surplus above the Deeis of
nature before the profit can begin.

A Chance For Hnd Smith.
From the Oregonian.
Paddy Lee, recently of New Orleans,
and theohampion wrestler of tho United
States navy, is in the city for tbe purpose
of arranging a wrestling match with Bud
Smith, of Vancouver. He says be will
wrestle Smith either catch-as-oatoh.can

from $100 to 500. If a forfeit is neBsary, !
he is willing to desposit it anywhere
Smith may designate. Lee is yet a
young man and he has bad but few con
tests with professionals. He has had
several bouts with Christol, andalthongh
be did not defeat him, Christol found
him no easy game. While in tbe United
States navy in the South, Lee was con
sidered tne champion wrestler among
tbe marines.

In speaking of the relations of the old
parties with tbe Farmers' Alliance, the
Idaho Democrat says:
"The allianoe has eight members
of congress that will oonvene at Wash
ington on the first Monday in Novem
ber next, and considerable ouriosity ex
ists as to how they wiil be treated by
tbe democratic speaker in the apportion
ment of plaoes on committees. Leading
demooratio papers all over the country
think they will be awarded important
positions. As they are all low tariff men,
they are safe members of the ways and
means. It would do no hurt to give
them the chairmanship of the commit
tee on agriculture, also P representation
on that of territories and several others.
It is likely that in Michignn, tbe Du-
kotas, Nebraska and some other stutes
an electoral ticket will be made up of a
combination. The democrats can well
afford to give them tbe lion's share of
electors in eaoh state, because if there is
no choice by the people a demoorat will
surely be eleoted by the preseut congress
voting as states, for the republicans have
not a third of them. Honey catches more
flies than vinegar, and the democrats
have aoted wisely ia treating the alliimce
kindly while the republicans have beeu
pursuing an exactly opposite oourse.
The allianoe advnoates the loaning of
mouey to farmers by the government
upon mortgages at a low rate of interest.
To this the republicans are utterly op
posed. The Demoorat is not called upon
to express an opinion in the premises,
but the republicans have been very uu
fortunate in furnishing a precedent in
loaning mon y to national buuks with
whioh to do business without any interest
at all. This was done under the name
of United States depositories. This
mouey the banks use to(loan farmers
and all others and become tbe benefici
aries. It is not at all strange that the
simple-minded farmer bhould be unable
to see why the baulis were entitled to
accommodations while he was not, aud
that, too, upon more favorable terms
tban he asked. The fact that the nioney
loaners are tbe espnoial pets of the re
publicans and that they, together ith
the monopolists, furnish a corruption
fund to be used each presidential elec
tion year possibly never entered his
mind. It would never do to permit the
government to oompete with such power
ful auxiliaries in the money market.
The Democrat is now "ringing ill" on
its readers some stuff about national
baukB which, though it Simula well, is
all bosb. No United States depositor)
receives a cent of our country's money
without paying interest for the same,
and it ia liable to be withdrawn at any
time. It is funds that oiinnot be safel)
treate I as ordinary deposits, the fate nf
the Spokane bank being a shining ex
ample of the results of loaniug money
on U. S. funds. The Democrat uncon
sciously explains its reasons for publish
ing such stuff in the above clipping. It
believes in treatiug the alliance kindly
order to catoh their influence and
voteB tboBe of the republicans and dem
ocrats, principally the former. By its
own admission, it is countenancing aud
publishing matter for the purpose of
kindly taking in tho alliance. This is
the "sugar" with whioh the Democrat
proposes to catoh the new party, while
honest oonvictions, founded on well-
tried Drinciules. is the "vinegar." This
admission is something novel, and ex
plains why the columns of our worthy
Idaho exchange is weekly filled with in.
consistencies, aud which the editor cer
tainly does not believe.
"nothing in if is well acquainted with
the little Times, oomposed principally
of six-to-pica leads and nonpareil slugs,
and also wants it understood that our
editorial yardstick baa not lain idle and
dust-covered so long that it cannot
measure the Times as it would fain
measure its peers.
POWER OF THE PRESS.
The real good to be obtained by hav
ing a newspaper in your midst is to al
low it to be untrammeled and unfet
tered, so fur as factions are ooncerned,
and to give it lioense to express those
opinions which are usually allowed indi
viduals, provided they have a tendency
toward the upbuilding and improvement
of a community. A convict in fetters
may labor for hia prison-keepers; may
even do that work fairly well, as regards
quality and quantity, but how muoh bet
ter is that accomplished by a free man.
So it is with a newspaper. Put it in
the narrow oonfiues of a clique's selfish
ness, it then loses its freedom, its indi
viduality and therefore the greater part
of its usefulness.
Au organ is not a newspaper. It
merely reflects the selfishness of a few
bigots, who, in their desire to rule with
an iron baud the honest oonviotions of
others, proenre a newspaper plant, or
back others in doing so. The creature
Unit aota us their apostle is in a pitiful
condition. He dure not say that bis life
is his own, and therefore the pBper as an
element of what might otherwise be use
ful, beoomes to its clique what the tail
is tu the dog. It may seek to assist in
the upbuilding of its oommnnity, but is
retarded by the extreme selfishness of
its dictators.
No progressive community will at
tempt to tio up the opinions of a reason
ably sensible editor, nor should tbe lat
ter allow himself to be thus bound. A
man with an ounoe of stamina will
sneak the truth as he sees it, should tbe
good of the public demand it, regardless
of the fact that indirectly it pinches
someone whom ordinarily it would be
his desire to shield. But those who fall
m witli "Iray" stiould expect notning
else.
A newspaper man, a genuine vender of
the news and a royal hard-hitter gener
ally, will have euemies hard enemies,
too. But u few enemies and a little op
position are the making of anyone, and
so it is with tho editor.
In all the vicissitudes of journalism in
which any paper must undergo, there is
always a bright side. There are good
lessons daily learned iu .any business,
ami tin; newt-paper is no exccTtiou. Ii
triiinn a few points aluti its rou;;h and
nidged pi.th, Hi.il while not always right
nor always wrong, if honest and pro
gressive, is u grand actor iu the perma
nent growth of any community.
A genuine newspaper Should be on the
outlook for those dissensions and strifes
whieh disrupt and never do any good.
I should not knowingly beoome the
organ of one set or the other, but ought
to use its influence to heal wounds rather
than reopen them. Hut iu all, if work
up for the common good, will be on the
alert for the shackles of a olique and
avoid them as poison to the good and
power of the press.
WHO SENT A HACK F(M YOU?
The Hepper Gazette evidently believes
in quantity rather than quality. The
Guzeste is a big paper with nothing iu
it, ususlly, and sometimes even not that
much. Waitaburg Times.
Of all the poorly printed, typograph
ically rotten, long-primer double-leaded
and idiotically edited newspapers of
the PBOiflo Northwest, Wheeler, of the
Times, has years ago captured the
bakery, raked down from the topmost
limb the yellow persimmon, and so uni
versally is it known iu that class that all
others have long ago oeased to contest
for the various prizes. The above para
graph is printed just as clipped from our
criticising brother of the press. Wheeler
never bad a printer on his paper that
commanded or dared ask more than $10
a week; and if we were not so well ac
quainted with the famous "phut man's"
pomposity "big I Bud little you" we
would sum it up that some snotty-nosed
"blaoksmith" had inserted this cute little
out on his own accord and without hav

vation of the proof-reader. But this is
about the best pieoe of typographical
work we have seen on the Times since
Vawter Crawford left its employ.
Mr. Wheeler never got up anything
original except the far-famed expression,
"phat man of the Times," and a four
pound boulder labeled "This is the rook
with whioh Fudge hit Mr. Wheeler in
the bead. It was discovered down on
bedrock, several feet below the surface
but it is a big rock and fell hard. The
jury found blood somewhat resembling
red mineral paint on said rock. Many
people in Waitsburg wonder Hint Fudgo
did not fudge a little herder on the occa
sion mentioned. The big Gazette with
WORTH LOOKING AT.
"Turn to the press its teeming sheets
survey, big with tho wonders of eaoh
passing day." Among these the eye will
pause to look at au old familiar family
ne.'d in new dress. It will charm the

cheer rind hope to the pain-stricken.
The columns of this paper are graoed
by its reappearance. It is welcome, for
what it promises to do, it does with
alacrity, and proyes its promise by an
ample show of performance. The right
thing, in the right place, at the right
time, experience has proved it to be
Upon this it has won public confidence
arid esteem, for while St. Jacobs Oil, the
great remedy for pain, thus makes its
annual rounds and renews its pledges of
prompt and permanent cure, its oontin
uul success is the guaranty that what it
says is true and what it does is sure,
lis best recommendation is its true rep
utation, upon which nil may depend for
euro and com'ort.
