Eldridge, manager of tbe Independence cream ery, seems inclined to take a rather pessimistic view of dairying con ditions in Oregon at present, claiming that there are less dairy cows in tbe state than there were a year ago, and that tbe output of butter and cheese during the past year, has been less than in the year preceding. Even if these be granted true, there are other statements made by Mr. Eldridge in his interview, which, properly weighed, show that the situ ation is not so bad as one might be lead to believe and that the conditions of tbe past twelvemonth do not neces sarily point to a serious or permanent decline in the dairying Industry. The decrease in the number of dairy cattle in the state Is blamed mainly to tbe fact that a large portion of the Oregon stock have been shipped into Washington and sold to dairymen of that state. The depletion of Oregon's dairy herds has therefore been really nothing morethao an incident in the growth of the dairying industry of the Pacific Coast as a whole and is a cuuuiuou waicD win prooaoiy nod aa automatic adjustment when the increased demands from the state of Washington have been filled and Ore gon dairymen may turn their atten tion once more undivldedly, as many of them are already doing, to the work of replenishing their own herds. The scarcity and the high price of feed during the past year Is also an Incidental and not a permanent factor in the dairying Industry and is a con dition which is liable at almost any time to be met with. The depression of the dairying business occasioned by a circumstance of that nature, how ever, can never be anything more than temporary and will have no lasting ill effects on the business. Another factor said to have figured in tbe smaller output of butter and cheese this year is the fact that con densors, which are becoming con tinually more numerous' throughout the state, have taken up much of the milk that would otherwise have gone to the dairys. This condition, like the two mentioned before, is also Inci dental and temporary and, contrary to its being a detriment to the dairy business, should be regarded as the forerunner of Increased prosperity. With the advent of the condenser. which must draw its supply of milk SPRING IIOUSECLEAMNG. BY DEAN COLLINS.

Three businesses depend ent upon tbe dairy farmers of tbe state are now bidding la tbe field whore two bid before. The supply of milk, already not more than sufficient to supply the creameries and cheese factories, had to be divided to meet the demands of the new industry the condenser. But while, as a result, the output of butter and cheese was temporarily diminished, the demand for milk suffered nothing. The dairying industry is not, then, on the decline as might be inferred from the statements made as to its condition during tbe past year. The supposed decline, if it may be regarded as such, has been merely pause pre paratory to a rapid and stable growth in the near futuie. The dairying business In Oregon Is yet young and is still too far from its zenith for one to have serious fear of Its decadence. Falls City Resident Is Dead. T. L.

Mr. York recently came here from Dayton and secured employment In the Willamette Valley Lumber Com pany's sawmill. A few days ago he was joined by his bride-to-be, the young lady also being a resident of Dayton, it being tbe intention of the young people to be quietly married and thus happily surprise their rela tives and friends. News of their Intentions in some manner reached Dayton, however, and the would-be surprisers were themselves surprised when tbe parents and two sisters of tbe groom and tbe mother of tbe bride arrived in Dallas promptly in time to attend the ceremony.
