Mr. Mal lory Is with those in goisl standing while Mr. Hirsch, says Mr. Mallnry, i in bad standing. In the propos ition submitted t.y Mr. Hirsch that I'ueation of good or bad standing was not ralrasl. Mr. Maltory nignt n3 to raise it. We, out here have heurd 'hat Mr. Mall'Ty lailteil the republi can nomination in ls!)t, and weut olfcauvassing lor Independent North rup. It i fair to supHse be votisl fir him. If there is anything that can put a man in bad standing with his party it i bolting and supporting the candidate of the other party. iiut thi i here nor there, except i it ctl'ect the nuinls-r of vote which we republican on the ouU side have a right to look for in Mult- no'iiah county. The Mackay com niittee haa refused to entertain the prohibition rfubinittcd by the Hirsch committee. They put their refusal on the ground that the Mackay or ganization i the only organiz ttiou and they cannot taint their legitima cy by recognizing the right ol anoth er organization to participate i'i the work of nominating olliccrs to be voted for by republicans. Technical ly they are right but the same men who di-sired lo take part in the con vent ion are republicans, voted with them in Nov., '00, and would vote again with them. It 1 vote that cm n try republican want not the succesa of faction or of men. ISutHiip-iose the Portland people don't get vote, then what. Mult nomah county may go for I'ennoyer and all he represents. The state may go for free silver. Sound money will get a black eye. One or two votes in the senate may commit this gov ernment to a dehascd currency. To what purpose (hen ha Mr. Mallnry, Mr. Mackay or the Oregonian talked and worked and struggled for sound money If they liclatorilyrea I voters? Iiut Mr. Mackay invite republican elector to participate in the primar ies called by the republican committee and assures them that their votes shall l ccuntcd a voted. That is all that i asked. If Mr. Mackay and hi associatea do that there can Is' no criticism by republicans. What we of the country ask i that the re publican cli-ctoM go to the primaries aa republicans, vote a republicans, come away as republicans, go to the poll in June a republican and vole the republican ticket. That is what we in Washington county intend to do. Anything short of that will lie a stabut sound money. WASHI.XVI'O.M (UI .M V.

This was not a.' ways to be, for the winter rain carried to tin inland lake ton and ton of silt, till there came a day when Hie sea pulled in her arm, and folded it on her fice. Where I efore had Ihs-ii water, now wa dry land. A drainage system wa carved through the level plain, the tir burr from the mountain lodged in the soil, the acorn sprouted and Washington county had a geog raphical existaniv. Theioiinty is entirely surrounded by hills, saving where the Tualatin breaks through to the Willamette, a few mile alsive ( Iregon City. Thirty miles one way and forty iiiothcr is the length on the measuring line. The county I a lake bed and lh soil I cilt, renowned the world over for its fertility. How deep I it? No one know.

And the very tact that he can in hi own wagon, with hi own good IVrcbeon or Clyde draft horses, transport his own freight, keep the railroad tn-ight tariff at a minimum.

The market lor the cereal and their product which Portland is Had ing in Asia, is giving an impulse to the farmer in Washington county which they never before had.

While Hie owner are n-st running after buyers, they will divide (heir holdings for a moderate price, and welcome Hie im migrant to their schools and churches already established. - The write up of the manufacturing Industrie of the county is an exhaus tive review of Hie art treated. The space devoted to the uljct wa lim ited but Dr W'ood, who is unth-r-sUxmI to Ik the autnor, ha done the work well and eloquently told the story. He says: The manufacturing Industrie of of Washington county consist of Hour, lumbcr,sah and door factories, logging, shingle mills, tauneiy, fruit drying, cider mills, dairying, oat meal, cigars, fuel and lilefactories. Nearly all of these have lieen Increas ed many fold during the past few years and they are aoon destinid lo la noure- of wealth. The proxim ity of this county to Hie me roHilis of the notthwest provides a ready market for the surplus not consiimid al home. The motive iwer Is prin cipally steam, although many mills are driven by water power. Home manufactured gsa1s arc preferred by the s-ople of the county to eastern importations, and this in itself has proved to be a great stimulus lo manufacturing. The export of dour lo foreigu market has Increased won derfully during the past few yean, but very few of the Jlour mills now la-nig dependent on local --riiidiiii; as in I inner years.

Corvallis (l.izi-lte. DKVEI.Ol'lXi OKKI.OV. Somethinir new aud somewhat re markable a well,! a pro t-t planned and in process of execution by a well known Oregon railroad. The de tails were made familiar to a few by a visit to Corvallis during a few day past of H. C. Judson, whose confer ence in this city have la-en mainly with bead of department and the president ami director at Ihe college aud experiment station. Mr. Judson is industrial agent of the O. U. A N. company and the project he has iu liiind eiobra -es an attempt to fostei and build up a new and wide range of industries in Kistern Oregon. Mr. Judson' railroad company is the transportation lineofHie section of Kaslern Oregon and eorn-clly reasons that by building up the country, it will provide for more products to (ran iport to nmiket, and therefore more business for itself. The scheme will include an allempt to grow cotton, tobacco and other product in the Kastcru Oregon coun try, and in (be work be ha invited, will receive Ihe hearty co-operation of the agricultural college and station. Il Is la-lieved that some of the dis trict of Kistern Oregon will he fav orable, both in soil aud climate, to the production of these croi. Cot ton, for instance, is a hardy plant a to drouth, Mending roots deep into the ground, and will flourish where wheat growing i a failure. . The great demand for the product in Jii an sugge' that a more extended range of cotton-pro hieing territory can Ik- profitably utilixil, and thi with the fact that Kistern Oregon of fers Home promise of successful pro duction there of the plant, will cause the experiment to la tried. The cultivation of tobacco will also Im attempted. The partial destruc tion of the industry in Cuba ha caused a colony of Florida loltacco grower to look for wider field of production of the plant, and their at tention will lie drawn to Kastcru Or egon. 1 lie cultivation or lorage plant that will provide for an exten sive dairy industry east of the Cas cade will also Is- investigated. II is not expected that the pro-toa-ed development of the section w ill provide immediate return.- to those interested. It is twenty year ago that the new manager of the O. II. A N.
