Capital Stock
$ 30,000
The promoters of the railroad from
Astoria to Goble are exhibiting great ac
tivity at present, and consider their
chances of securing a road better than
ever before. It is claimed that stock on
this line has been subscribed in New
York to (he amount of *1,250,000, and
that *300,000 in cash is actnally in hand
to begin work with. Patience and per-
severence are hound to win, and the peo
ple of Astoria have exhibited so much
of these virtues that they deserve to
make the riffle this time.

The Senate Committee on Pacific Rail
ways continued the hearing in the in
terest of the Union Pacific bondholders.
Boiaaevain and his attorneys explained
the proposition for an extension of time
for the payment of the government in
debtedness, and answered many ques
tions put by members of the committee.
A t the conclusion of the meeting a mem
ber of the committee stated satisfactory
progress had been made, but the iiiipur-
tance of the question was such that some
tim e must necessarily elapse before ail
understanding could be reached.
The entire Pacific Coast delegation, in
cluding, of course, Hermann ami Ellis
of Oregon, Wilsounnd D oolittleof Wash

tion, will make an effort to have the
amount for Chinese exclusion enforco-
ment increased. The Committee on Ap
propriations has provided ill the sundry
civil bill only *50,001 for this put-pise.
It mav not be raised in the House, but
the Pacific Coast Senators will force a
raise in the Senate. Senator Dolpli lias
already a proposition making it ♦500,000,
and will no doubt securo a part of that
sum.
Returns received at the Treasury De

000. In Colorado Ihenntput has increased
from *3.000 000 in 1892 to *5,009,000 in
1893. W hile the gains in all gold-pro
ducing countries are unusually large, the
Australian production w ill carry the
production of the world, it is thought,
to *151,0)0.000, which is an increase of
*12,000,000 for the year. W ith one or
two exceptions this is the largest output
ever known.
In the Senate Frve said a statement
had been published that the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union had peti
tioned Congress to increase the tax on
whisky. The fact was a petition pur
porting to come from that body bad been
presented to the House Committee on
Wavs and Means. The petitions had
been investigated, and it was found ttiey
w e r e fraudulent • that, « r , su c h pe rs on s
were living in the towns from w h i c h
they purported to come. Frye then pre
sented a remonstrance from the National
W omen’s Christian Temperance Union,
signed hv officers in fortv-four States
and three Territories, against any tax on
whisky on the ground that the govern
ment should notenter into partnership
with manufacturers and sellers of intox
icating liquors.
The Postmaster-General has addressed
a communication to Hon. John 9. Hen
derson, Chairman of the House Com
mittee on PostofHces and Post Roads, in
reply to a letter from the latter asking
for information and suggestions in re
gard to a hill intro luced in the House to
admit to the mails as second-class mat
ter periolical publications Issued by or
under the auspices of regularly incor
porated benevolent societies, orders and
institutions of learning. The Postmas
ter-General says that the matter is one
that does not commend itself to his fa
vor and is so objectionable that he trusts
the Postofflce Committee will not hesi
tate to report it adversely. He says that
it would be unwise to make a reduction
of postage rates or any change in the
classification of mail matter that would
bring about either a loss of revenue or
an increase of postal expenditure, anil

Moist earth is said to be nature’s cure

i Holding stuff ttiat is for sate to i long

In filling the icehouse set the blocks
of ice on edge. It will not melt so fast,
i and is easier to get out.
A plentiful supply of straw for bed
ding increases the comfort of the animal
and the size of the manure pile these
i cold days.
The ammonia which is escaping from
the manure pile, and which can easily

I’ revent the waste by occasionally ap

Do not dispose of the heifer calves
from your gold cows. Those coining now
will, if kept thrifty, be ready to turn on
grass in May or June, ami will then just
snoot ahead if given a little m ilk or

I f a piece of land is to be donblo

such as wheat followed by millet, or
sweet corn followed by buckwheat or
turnips.
Dairymen don’ t have to berrrow

reason is that they are never " o u t of a

In some of the great cattle-producing
sections, where once nothing was thought
of bnt stock, land owners are now com
bining farming with their stock-growing.
This combination is true agriculture.
Either branch hy itself lacks something
of completeness.
Do not think that the winter is a sea
son for leisureonly upon the farm. When
it is so regarded .leisure becomes only
another name for loafing. Study, read,
plan, think and lit yourself to be a bet
ter farmer next year than you have ever
been. There is room for improvement.
The sorghum plant makes an excellent
forage crop, and is especially relished by
the cattle. It is cut and dried somewhat
like hay. If syrup is to he made from
the plant, the blades are removed and
used for stock nnd the stalks run through
the mill. The refuse from the syrup
mill makes an excellent grade of paper.
Go nivay from home a little during the
winter if you can, and learn what the
farmers are doing elsewhere. When yon
are in new places visit the markets, and
see what products are in demand and
what prices aro being obtained. Every
sort of information that at all relates to
your business is of value, and you should
neglect no op|iortuuity to procure the
same.
It has been demonstrated that 100

W hat sort of a walk have yon from

It would lie wise to take the job in your
