Mr. Mallory, t-jniingresHiiiBii from
0 tip hi writes a long article which
i published In the Oregonian in
which he severely condemn Mr.
1 lirxili, chairman of the republican
i-:ate central committee las-ause be
si d hi asKM'iatea left the republicau
i organization and acted with a faction.
Now if belonging to and lieing a pari
of an ackuow ledgid urgauization
cuiislitute a republican In gisxt stan
ding then Mr. Hir h i a better re
publican than Mr. Mackay, for the
latter is only a part of a county or
ganization while Mr. Hirsch is of lh
-!..t a u.tu" der.-ea aisive the
county. Mr. Mailory'a w hole argu
eeet sJr;:'.V3 th-t ih c mitt too ir
tie in Portland, one in good stand
ing and the other in bad. 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.

In the long ago, old ocean reached

The chief industry of Washington

population ia too danse for great

their product which Portland is Had

the farmer in Washington county
which they never before had.
Manufacturers may Implanted here
and we will welcome them for we

do it so economically and so bounti
fully that the urtisiaus' table will
groan under the g'iod cheer we can
send from our field, our garden, our
orchards and our pasture. True our
pastures are narrcw, but lliey are
gooil exercise ground for our slallfed
bullock that furnish juicy steaks for
a happy and contented army of oper

by an experiment systematically con
ducted, that no county in the slate
furnishes las-la whilst Juii-e ha so
high a rcent of purity and but two
counties where the per cent sugar is
greater. We sent beets to theHtation
that were a fifth sugar and nine

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. At (luston fl.iur

were erected last year at n cost of
1 12,oo0, and another at l igard ville.
Many of Hie mills have made sub
stantial improvement during (be
year.
The dairy prisluc' of thi county
give ll si-coimI plai-e among the coun
ties of the stale. Nearly every com
inunity in theiounty is acccs-di.le to
a creamery.
The prodocla of I lie forests In ihe

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. Co. began a similar plan of devel
opment iu Northern Minnesota in I--half
of a railroad with which he was
there connected, and it I only in re
cent years that the full Is-ni fit have
laen felt. There i"00 dairies were es
tablish through hi agency -and Hit

populous country out of what was

The Oregon City locks were

a slate law. Several allempt have
been made looking lo the slate owner
