The leading factort lit the new order ot things may be enumerated at improved, methods la agriculture, in created facilitiet of transjiortation and oatact with the opeu markett of the world. The ' completion of the grcut trmnt-continenUl railroad line marked m new laduetrial era for theentire I'-.tcitlc coait, and no aectiou waa more uaertial ly effected than Oregon . Thit elate was hitherto' an inaulatcd proviuce of the United Statea; itt population was largely homogeneous, provincial and nnuierirally aiuall ; the wants of the pco fj were local and they depended more npon ttoekraiaiug and luiniag than n;. on agriculture. The proiluett of the mines made. money comparatively plentiful and a Horded a gool local mar let." But the railroad era produced a marked th.inge. A flood-tide of iu. migration poured into The state through these now connecting arteries of the East and the AVest. New blood u introduced into the country. Old Ore gon pasted away and new Oregon waa born. The state paired through a transitional era. Many of the mi-tli ods of the Eaet were introduced and the people have not ret learned to ntijust themselves to the new industrial condi tiona. Oregon today is an integral part of the couimercinl world, the barriers ol isolation have been torn down and her products mutt compete iu the open market! with those ot every oiher country. This ia the price our people mutt par for their luixer growth and a higher cosmopolitan life. The wise will leara to adjust their affairs to existing conditions, tha.. weak and improvident will inevitably pay the penalty of their unfitness. It means the survival of the finest..-.r.

Typhoid is now known to be a distinct ively "fJIth disease" arising from the aeeamolation of carbaze and refute "matter, stagnant pools and an nnwhole tome water supply. The typhoid microbe finds itt most conzeniul habi tat in ihe water of the surface wells and filthy cistern system of the misKoverned cities of thit country. Decaying vege tation ia also a prolific source of typhoid malaria in the country districts. A thorough system of drainage lias been demonstrated to be the beat protection against the ravages of this malady. Statistics show that in , the city of Frankfort, Germany, in 1866, the mor tality from this disease alone amounted to 80.2 per eent for 100,000 inhabitants. In 1891 a -thorough system of drainage and sanitation had reduced the death rate to 6 per cent, and in 1893 the mortality was reduced as low as 4.6 per cent. Our city is in need of a better dtainase system.. The health of the people of Independence is of more iin portance than anything else, and would be wise on tbe part of our city council to look closely into the sanitary conditions of tbe city. Good roads, well graded streets are important adjuncts to the upbuilding of town, and should be encouraged so far as existing finan cial conditions will permit, but the sanitary condition of our city is most Important of all and ehould receive first consideration. We believe in preaching the gospel if good health and in work. lug for good health, and when this end is attained all ' else will oome to ns naturally ' and easily. Improve the city's drainage system first. Pure water and good health is what wa most seed. But even in doing thit let ns trim close to tbe lines of careful econo my and prudent retrenchment of pub lie expense. a great hop producer, a great a heat pro ducer, a great fruit producer and u!c supplies larite quantities of lumber, beef, mutton and wool for the markets of the world. Why is it the ivsthetic and cul lured East has ucver learned tliij fuel'. Come Vesa, Mr. Editor, come Wed, and learn that you are an unsophisticat ed "tenderfoot." Tux Oregon crop prospects are very encouraging. Oram generally is stool- ing well and promises toyield a bountiful harvest. Prices are also looking np and the hard pressed farmer can at last s a ray of hope.

It is tbe contention of those who op poee the rehabilitation of silver that in recent years the production of this metal has increased out of all proportion to the production of gold. If the coin-4,-e pf the white metal is not limited, it ia said, the money supply will be far in exeets of the needs of trade, and the country will be flooded with a depred ated currency. In 1800 the United tetea produced 132,000,000 in gold and 70,4M,0GO in silver; i 1893 tbe gold prod act wa 135,955,000 tuid silver $77, 76,757f Tbe diver product of 18M was bout four and a half millions lets than The Polk County Convention of tho AYomans Christian Temperance Union assembled in the Christian church at Independence, April 5 at 11 a. m.

Adkins, county president, then gave her annual address in which she reported the unions at Falls City, Rickreall, Monmouth, Independence and Cochrane, alive and at work. She said, "Our women work better than they report; that while the reports were often discouraging it waa found upon investigation that our unions are unconsciously to them selves, moulding public sentiment for temperance that would last while time should last." We may not individually have accomplished much during the year, but when we gather up the fragments, it will be seen that we have left our im press not alone on the sands of time, but on the minds of men and women, bhe said the bars were being let down for us everywhere and all we had to do was to go in and possess tbe land provided we went about it with the same tact, perseverance and energy that we do any other transaction. But, as tbe count j president is also press ber for not giving you more of ber tion shall be taught in all grades of our public schools we are not only law breakers ourselves but we teach our children to bo law breakers also.

She Fpent about five minutes in making the Eubject so plain that if there were any doubting Thomases present their doubts were all swept away. Mrs. Adkins gave a report on press work, which showed a better feel ing on the part of our county editors towards the admittance of W. C. T. U. items to the columns of their papers.

Very pertinent and appropriate re marks were made by W. 1. Connaway, 1. W. Haley and J. P. Irvine. Mifg Fannie Orr, of lUcltreal I, recited "the lioboliuk" in her inimitable and happiest manner. W.

"he Portland Suu of Ajiril 4, published ihe following statement from Prof. Waahburu cor recting erroneous impreHaious in re gard to tbe (train louse: I wus sur prised to see in your lnue of laat Fri day a statement, taken from the Cor- vallla Times, to tbe effect that Air. Wiibanks bad found tbe grain louse iu immense numbers on tho roots of the wheat in tbe stubble field. As I have before slated, in yourcolums and else where, lheHe are root lice, found on grass toots, roots of grain, lettuce roots, cabbage roots and elsewhere; they are very common, but not a serious ptt. They are not and never will be grain lice. I do not wish to be understood as Baying that we will not have the wheat aphis with us next year, for I think it Is quite possible that we w ill have some, but It Is a pity to needlessly tills talented troupe, Monmouth win. well ivprei.eltled Iu the audience.
