AiJTOKlA. OREGON:
THURSDAY ......APRIL 21. 1887
The fact that nearly all the
state tax of 188G has been paid to
the state treasurer is good evi
dence of the general prosperity of
the commonwealth.
A new journal has appeared at
Albany, in this state, entitled The
Htlmnq Kand. It is "published
in the interests of matrimony," but
does not appear to furnish any
thing additional in the way of in-
dncetnentsto commit that indis
cretion. m 1
According to Harper's Weekly.
neither party has the slightest
chance to elect its standard bearer
in the next presidential campaign.
Can it be that all the goodness
hnq fld to the cave of Adullam,
and it is only in the sulking-ranks
of the mugwumps that a candidate
that can win is to be found!
Before the interstate commerce
law went into effect printing pa
per was laid down here at60centsa
hundred from the Mississippi; now
it is S3.0U, ana eastern papci
dealers have advanced rates 50 per
cent. That La Camas pape,r mill
ought to boom now; there seems
to be no reason why it shouldn't
gettho Oregon and "Washington
trade, at least.
In the interstate commerce law i
the railroads seem to have about
as good a thing as they want. It
furnishes them an excellent excuse
for all sorts of little games. Oui
innocent national legislators
thought, if they thought anything,
that they were cinching the rail
road companies, when, as a matter
of fact, the workings of the law
will entail continual hardship and
annoyance on that portion of the
American public least able to
stand it.
-
There is a noticeable improve
ment in the variety and quality ol
the news in the daily papers of the
state in the past two years, the
majority of them now taking tele
grams to the limit of their re
sources. In California competition
has developed into a costly fight
for supremacy, notably in San
Francisco. The latest develop
ment in this state is the large
increase of telegrams in the ffeics,
more than ten columns of brevier
being in some issues of that paper,
and the copyrighting of some of
the dispatches in the Oregonian.
has greatly contracted the field
for the sale of refined sugar. It
is estimated that only 60,000,000
pounds can bo profitably refined
this year, as against 115,000,000
pounds during the preceding year,
and either of the refineries could
furnish that supply. Both of tho
companies have a full crop coming
on in the Sandwich Islands, and
there is no prospect of a rise in
prices, as there is a surplus of beet
sugar in France, Belgium and Rus
sia. The first cut was made by the
Calfomia comp any about ten days
ago. They reduced their quota
tions about cent per pound.
The American refinery met the
cut, and added another drop of
cent. The California refinery has
made a corresponding reduction,
and at present each company is
waiting to see what the other will
do. The prospect is that prices
will-go lower, although best gran
ufated sugar is quoted at 5 cents
per pound. "It's iust this
way," says Spreckles; "our
market has been cut down
by the rise in freight rates, and
we must have some place to sell
our sugar. "We will m6et any
reduction that the American com
pany can make, even if wo only
get enough to pay for the barrels,
and have to give the sugar awaj'."
Nothing like the present prices
has ever been heard of, before, in
San Francisco, or in any other
part of tho United States, within
the memory of the younger portion
of the trade. How refiners, who
used to ask 10 to 15 cents, and
even more, for crushed sug.ir, can
now sell at 5 cents, is a mystery.
This is more than one cent lower
than the rate in New York. Dry
granulated sugar is selling at fivo
cents in barrels against h cents
in New York.

Stockton, the county seat of
Rooks county, Kan., a thrifty,
wide awake city of the second
class, is carving its way to -national
fame by the noyel manner in
which it is treating the municipal
suffrage law. The men "have
agreed to give the women a chance
to make a supremo, test of their
ability to deal with public
affairs, and in order to do this
have stepped aside and will sim
ply watch the result of the trial.
Tho entire city ticket mayor,
councilmen, etc., is composed of
ladies, who were unanimously nom
inated to the position. Stockton
is on the south fork of the Salmon"
river, and has lately voted to build
waterworks. The handling of this
important matter will be left to
the women, who will have to let
all contracts, see that contractors
perform their work properly, pay
off the men and "supervise things
generally. The city is on the cen
tral branch of the Missouri-Pacifio
line, that is likely to be extended
this year, and they will have an
opportunity to grapple with the
railroad question among other
things. In short, the municipal
government is to be handed en
tirely over to the ladies, and the
whole nation will watch with eager
interest the Jesuit of an experi
ment that is without parallel in
the history of modern times.
Says a San Francisco dispatch:
War is in progress between the
managers of sugar refineries, the
. objeot being to get control of the
Pacific coast market. The passage
of the interstate bill and the re-
ssltkg laorasso of railroad rates
Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at V. E.
Dement & Co 's Drug Store as their giv
ing away to their customers of so many
free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption. Their trade
is simply enormous in this very valu
able article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Cough.

by getting a trial bottle free, large
