ASTORIA, OEEGON:
SATURDAY .. AUGUST 17,1889.
CREAMERIES IN OREGON.
Astosia people have often of late years
eaten nicely tasting butter in wooden
pails from Iowa, and Illinois, made in
creameries in these states, and the nat
ural inquiry has been, "Why, with our
gonial climate, in this natural dairy
country, wouldn't it pay to have a cream
ery here?" Other communities have evi
dently asked the same question, for in
several places in Oregon and Washing
ton creameries have been established.
It is with surprise that The Astobiak
has from time to time noted that cream
eries so established have been abandoned,
because they "didn't pay." Just why
they don't pay is the question. One
would think a creamery would be a good
paying institution in western Oregon,
where cows don't have to be wintered,
and where A 1 butter brings forty cents
a pound the year round.
If Iowa, and Illinois, where the people
have to work hard seven months in the
year to keep from freezing the other five,
can manufacture good butter and sell
it here at a profit at thirty cents a pound,
it looks a little singular that a Clatsop
or Yamhill or Polk county creamery
should be a failure.
A gentleman in conversation with the
writer yesterday made a remark that
throws a little light on the matter.
He has just returned from a visit to
southern Michigan, and being a close ob
server was telling about industrial con
ditions there.
Said he: "The farmers are selling
their land for what they can get. The
stock business has passed into the hands
of men like Armour of Chicago, who sell
dressed moat in every little town cheaper
than the local butcher. The milk bus
iness isn't what it was. As long as
creameries paid a cent a pound there
was a little in raising cows for their
milk producing qualities, but half a cent
a pound is the best price now paid for
milk in southern Michigan creameries,
and there is no money in furnishing
milk at that price."
Half a cent a pound for milk! No
wonder they can make butter cheap
Milk costs four cents a pound eight
times as much in Astoria.
The latest Oregon creamery to suspend
is the one at McMinimile. The cream
ery paid twenty cents a pound for cream.
The men who raised and fed and milked
the cows thought that twenty cents
wasn't enough. The proprietors of the
creamery thought, at last, that it was
too much.
A Michigan man offered half a cent a
pound for his milk, if able to get 20 cents
a pound for cream at his door, in a coun
try where his cows could run the season
through, would think he was doing a
land office business.
A creamery in any natural dairy coun
try like any western Oregon county, if
rightly managed, couldn't help paying.
Thorough bred miloh cows, great milk
producers, owned by the proprietors of
the creamery, where butter and cheese
were made, and hogs fattened, the whole F
business superintended by competent,
intelligent and experienced men, will
yet make the creamery business a finan
cial success in Oregon.
COMPOSITE POLITICS.
Something new ia promised in Oregon
politics by the formation of a party
which has not yet been given a name, but
which may respectfully be called the
composites.
There was a preliminary meeting of
the representatives of the various ele
ments of the proposed composite party
at Salem last Saturday and the idea pre
vailed to have a convention in that city
on the 14th of next month.
The idea seems to be reform, and the
party will probably be named the union
reform party by those who are in it.
The intention is to consolidate all the
floating elements of probable political
strength; the prohibition party; the
grange; the Knights of LaborfUhe Fed
erated Trades; the union labor men, etc.
The further idea of the conference is
stated to be:
To consider the practicability of the
union of all the above named reform
forces, and of all citizens not identified
with these organizations, but who are in
favor of better government in a political
party that shall pledge itself for the set
tlement of the great questions now press
ing for settlement by legislation, and of
all kindred questions that may arise; and
if such consolidation is agreed upon, to
adopt a platform and to provide for thor
ough county and precinct organization
of the state preparatory to the nomina
tion of state and county union tickets.
It will be interesting to note the prog
ress of this party, the assimilation of
the various differences and the final ef
fort on the part of politicians and ambi
tious office seekers to use it as a means
of furthering personal ends.
The supreme court of the United States
thus defines a gambling contract. A con
tract for the sale of goods to be delivered
at a future day is valid, even though the
seller has not the goods, nor anv other
means of getting them than to go into
the market and buy them. But such a
contract is only valid where the parties
really intend and agree that the goods
are to be delivered by the seller, and the
price paid by the buyer. If, under the
guise of such a contract, the real intent
be merely to speculate in the rise and
fall of prices, and the goods are not to
be delivered, but one party is to pay to
the other the difference between the con
tract price and the market price of the
goods at the date fixed for executing the
contract, then the whole transaction con
stitutes nothing more than a wager, and
is null and void under the statute.
The interstate commerce commission
haB called upon all the railroad com-!
pamesfor information as to whether
they have any accident or death fund for
employes; if they provide lodging or eat
ing houses or reading rooms for them; if
they use technical education in their
shops, have a recognized system of pro
motion, and if they enforce special rules
to insure the competency of engineers
or firemen.
The Oklahoma word "sooner," used to
characterize the fellows who got there
and squatted sooner than the law allowed,
is coming into general use out west to
describe various sorts of too previous
people, including the politicians who
start their own booms prematurely.
Duunq July 24,715 immigrants landed
at Castle Garden, New York, against 23,
690 in July, 1888. Every month this
year has been marked by a' gradual de
cline in Europeon immigration.
The conference of American nations
will meet in Washington in October. It
is believed all the states of North and
South America and Mexico will be rep-
resentated by" delegates.

A Quebec paper says that steamers
are rapidly supplanting sailing vessels in

steamers are now taking in full cargoes
