The Oregonian of yesterday prints one of the most clever cartoons of the late political campaign. It represents three comely lasses, Colorado, Idaho and Montana who had been riding In an old shack of a cart drawn by a single mule driven by a man who looks like Bryan, jumping out anJ running to the band wagon which Is an automobile carrying the G. O, P. elephant that is trumpeting while he guides the machine. The artist is Lute I'ease a new man In these parts, j Original window cards announce the lirt appearance of the focal mln Htrelsnn the evening of Nov. 25th. The young men of the town who have listened to minstrelsy and know what it is are preparing a treat for the town. It is to he hummer; they do not pretend to say that It will ex ceed iu poplurnrity the exhibition re cently given by the young: ladies, but one wi'l know . that he has attended when it is over. Tho. window cards have been drawn by a local artist ami aro true to life: Keep Nov. -5, in mind. - ' Ilinsbaw A Wheeler are at work drying apples this week buUHome what handicapped because there Is a shortage of laborers. The help need ed is for spreading the ieeled and sliced apples on the drying trays. This is liest done by girl and women. Alter a little skill lias lvn acquired tlm work Is rapidly done and siuee it is piece wcrk good wages can he made. Tho company Is fortunate In that it has two strings to the bow. If apples accumulate taster than they can l evaporntitl the excess cau he put through the cider mill. That plant is of such capacity that it is at most an iniovil.ilily to over-tax It. Col. D.tfwh who went to Japan about I wo months ago for the purpose of interesting that isple in the Lewis and Clark fair has" returned. He secured space for an Oregon exhibit at tho Japan fair which ocuj March 1st ami cloaca July 1st. Col. Itoach aug.csls that the exhibit be made along conmujrial lines.

To make an exhibit of these thing will require an" expenditure of J2.000 w-hlch the Colonel thluks should Le contrirbutcd by the City of Portland and the Lewis and Clark exposition management. The state should not be asked furanappropraiiou. Oregon is the only state in the Union that has taken steps to place an exhibit with tho Japanese. Japan will corue to Portland iu IDdfi. Oregon does well to show those people into the mouth of the Columbia. Col. Dosch did not need an Interpreter, for Ihe Japanese- speak pure English, at least the chief official. Dr. Tamelsle has received advices relative to the shipping of machinery and apparatus. He had begun to be a little anxious as the contract time for .delivery waa past, but his last let ters and telegrams state that ship ment has been made, and the cars will arrive Iu a few days. The delay was due to failure to get sheet copper wtdcli comes fr oi rolling mills in New Jersey. Thw plant there could not get coal because of the strike and had to Huspeud operations. The fae lory making the milk tanka bunted through the jobbing and retail estab lishments of the country and found enough copr for this aud few oth er orders so that the milk factories can now go forward. Dr. Tameisie has already recieved a carload of cans In which the finished milk product will be packed for market. He had hoped to have bis condensing plant In operation at this date, but it will be delayed somewhat. Iu the advertising eolums appears a notice of tlnal settlement In the es tate of Anderson Smith Deed, which is the legal ending of a matter that had its beginning forty years ago. A common piomisory note wasgiveu iu 18i2 aud the closing of this estate is'thc realization of something on that bit ol commercial paper. Orig inally the noto was given by Andrew Smith to James Chambers and drew 20 per cent interest then a low rate as 2 and even 3 per cent per month was not uncommon. Five or six ad ministrators have wrestled with this claim which is now to be "closed of record."

A Portland youth recieved a ride hall through his thigh, aud we notice that an irate Monmouth citizen took a pot shot at a band of hoodlums with bis shot-gun. If parents wll allow their children to commit depredations upon their neighbors' property and the authorities will not preserve order psople seem disposed to take the matter into their own bands, as they have an undoubted right to do. Mr. Jos. D )wus a few year ago was satisfied with the eld bellows, but not now. lie threw out that thing months ago and got what was represented to be the best blower. It is a good machine but not the best, lie took it out and now has the lat est and most approved blower; it Is a ball bearing machine and la operat ed by a crank. There is nothing bet ter on the market and Mr. Downs can make a big flie for heavy work when needed. A. W.

It presents a fine mechanical appearance and Is "chuck full" of county news Col, Gregley of the U. S. Land of fice passed thru Portland the 4th ins tant on his way to Roseburg to Inves tigate the alleged land office frauds there. He is to investigate alleged frauds In other parts of the state after he Is through at the Roseburg office. During the time of the investigation the Lind office will be closed. It Is stated that the Oregon City office will next be closed, though no charges of fraud have been laid at the door of the Oregon City office. The Medford Southern Oregonian of last Monday had this News item : "Last Monday was "hog day" in Medford. In other words, 73,000 pounds of hogs were exchanged for coin ol the realm at 6J cents a pound, probably the biggest price ever paid for live porkers In Southern 'Oregon. The lot numbered 3U5 animals. They, were weighed on Hubbard Bros., scale and averaged about 200 pounds each. Four thousand dolilar were paid for them, a little more than $10 a piece. They will be shipped to Han Francisco and occupy eight cars. This is more evidence of the fact that nothing pays better than raising swine." Three agents were in the market and the porkers were bought from fourteen growers. The big bop deal of Washington County wasconsumated last Wednes day when Charmicle of Salem bought the crura of J. A. I m brie, Chai. tnd John Buchanan, Mr. Porter, Zina Wood and Jas. H. Sewall, psying, it is understood, 25 cents per pound. William Bsgley sold to Krebs Bros, receiving 25 cents per pound. It is learned after the Bale was made that the agent had orders to get Mr. Bag ley's hops. How much more could have been realized is not known but Mr. Bsgley is satisfied with Ihe price received. This sale of hops on Wednes day foots up about 1220 bales. If the bales average 200 pounds the trans action means the dumping Into Hills boro almost $70,000. This put with income from other sources makes our profits for the year respective to say the least. Butter is quoted at 25 and 20 cents per ponnd in the eastern market. It costs 3 cents to get it here. That Is a protective tariff, natural at that. Our butter of same grade ought therefore to sell at 28 to 20 cents or better be cause fresher, and it does, for the quotations are 32J cents nd retailers ask 35 to 37). This Is claimed to lie due to the enactment of the Grout anti oleomargarlm law. Friends of the law visiting in Oregon last spring explained the effect of the legislation and predicted that the fall market for butter would be good, and it Is. They further said that the higher price will rule permanently, at least till the supply of batter ebuals or passes that of the prohibited oleo. The local market in Hillsboro Is sup plied in part wilh butter brought la from Clackamas aud Marion Coun ties. More dairiea are needed in this ounty. When photography was yet a net, occupation, especially when dag uerreotypes wera taken, the strong eat light of a day was required aud operators requested their subjects to visit the galleries for work between the hours of 9 o'clock a. in. and 3 p. m. Cloudy days had to be omitted. This requiriueut was so firmly fasten ed apou the public that very many persons wanting pictures wait for the bright day and sin ng auuligb t. The advances made in the art no longer requires these fa vol able conditioua. Indeed now there is such a tbing as having too much light. A dark day is just as good for taking a negstlve as a bright one if not better. And the hours have been leugihend. Sundown I not too late except per haps in winter on a cloudy day. If there are doubts on the part of any one, let him go to Pope in Hillsboro and try. Yesterday farmers fonud the top of the ground a little too wet for good plowing. The same condition inter fered with potato digging and carrot pulling. A few dajs fair weather will however allow the water to sink Into the ground when the surface will again lie lu order for stirring. J. W. Shute is reparing his brlctc on Main Street. It had lost several patches of plastering. When the work now under contract Is finished, the building will be in perfect repair. Mr. J. A. Imbrle executer of the R.

Scheulmerich aud E. C. Brown. The reports of tho 'city Recorder and Treasurer and Light Superinten dent Morgau for the Hied year, will be presented to tho Council at a spe cial meeting held Tuesday, Nov. 18. Councilman Huston resigned his place on the Council to lake effect af ter the special meeting of the 18th. This step is taken because of a lack of time for the duties of the office. The Council adjourned to meet again Nov. 18th. Thsy Hate Tariff, Net Trasts. The men who are the most vigorous in their demand for Tariff reductions because of the trusts have always been opposed to the principle of Pro tection. They are making the trusts an excuse to attack the Tariff with the seciej but ultimate aim of entire ly breaking down the Tariff wall and subjecting the couutry and Its Indus, tries to the ruinous principles and policy of Free Trade. If tbera were no trusts their attacks upon the Tar iff would be Just as vigorous as tbey are today. These Free-Traders at heart make no distinction between trusts. They do not admit that aome of them, like the railroad merger, for Instance, or the smelter trust, heve no connection whatever with the Tariff. Of course, they never acknowledge that trusts exist In Free-Trade countries as well as in the United Stales, and that hence the establishment of Free Trade would not prevent great com binations of capital. - It will not take the Intelligent American public long to see what the altuation really Is. Reoictng In the prosperity they have, the people will not be deluded by an attack on the trusts Into opening the gates to the Free-Traders. When it comes to a matter of making changes In the Tariff tbey will entrust the work not to the enemies but. to the friends of the policy of Protection to American labor and industries who have dem onstrated their rapacity for the work by the most extraordinary develop ment and expansion in these United States that the world has seen In its wbole histpry.

Dr. J. E. Adkins returned this week from a business trip to Hep pner. He reports that business In Eastern Oregon is a little dull Just now and that too without a visable cause. The coal mine recently found near Ueppner Is cau ing some stir. The company Is occasionally bring ing a load to town. It is found that ft make a good flre and loaves no clinkers. The placo allowing most life on the Heppner branch is lone. That town bids 'fair to rival the ter minal town which is IS miles further up the valley. In some things HHIsboro can boast of being ahead of neighbors. One of these is a well appointed and superbly stocked jewelry store. L. M. Heyt's stock of watches is far better thao Is ordinarily seen in pla ces much larger than Hillsboro. His stock of other goods usually carried with watches and clocks is large and well selected. Hillsboro purchasers have found that better bargains can be obtained at home at Hoyt's than by going to Portland. This applies particularly Jto prices. Pure silver ware as well as plated Is in good stock so that most different tastes can be gratified. Within the past two weeks there have been muttering of timber land frauds, and intimations of complicity on the part of the land office rfficials have been Indulged. It is most probable that the officials can show that they heve no hand in Ihe frauds. Besides it is quite possible that Ihe entry men accused ran prove n "all hi." Commissioner Herman .sug gests changes in the law would pre vent frauds. Possibly. But that changes in the law must not leave Ihe impr. sivn that the law maker who framed the present rule were neglig ent. When the law was made it was just, hut now that the price of tim V w ! M M M VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI I VI v vl VI ket 0 ill 1-1 T the dump, cold is sure to come. ber land has doubled and more, the critics blame the old law for allowing gabbling to be practiced. It has been suggested that the law should have been framed upon a sliding scale, that is, at flrft it should have been listed at $2..ri0 per acre, the next year at (;l 25 to be followed by a price of $.'i.00 and on .to $10.00. But that Is hind sight. And again who could have foreseen ten or II f teen years ago that timber land would by this date be so nearly tho color of gold. Four or II vo years ago a citizen of Hills boro had options on 20,000 acres of the best timber in Washington and Tillamook counties at $300 and $350 per quarter, yet he could not find a purchaser. No one believed the in vestment good. That same land now Is worth from $1200 to $1800 per quarter. The options have expired. How much higher Is these lauds go ing? Homo of us think the limit has been reached till transportation lines h ue been built. Then there will be more pasture for the bulls. Stops the ourIi anil Wsrk Off tlie told.
