W ashington, Feb. 9.—The president
has signed, on the recommendation of
tho secretary of th e interior, an im port
a n t order, reducing the num ber of pen
sion agencies ill th e Ignited States from
eighteen to nine. The *>*'j, l of the or
der is to effect a very ^ large saving to
the governm ent w ithout inconvenienc
ing the pensioners.
The secretaiy
dem onstrates th a t by th is reduction of
pension agencies, the cost of disburse
m ent of pensions can be reduced by a t
least $160,000 per annum .
The change was made possible by an
am endm ent to th e law governing the
disbursing of pensions, w hich am end
m ent was approved March 26, l8u6. It
required th a t all pensioners should,
after th a t date, be paid by checks re
m itted by m ail.
Reports from the
pension agencies in reply to in m ines
as to the operation of th e new law were
to the eff.—t th a t under it pensioner*
are paid much more prom ptly; th a t the
possibility of error is m inim ized, and
th a t upon tho whole, it is much more
satisfactory to th e pensioners than the
former law. The agents also advise
th a t th e pensioners receive th e ir pen
sions when rem itted by m ail a t th eir
homes, w here, being surrounded by
fam ily influences, the pensioner is
much more likely to make a business
disposition of his pension money. U n
der th e previous law, m any pensioners
collected th e ir quarterly paym ents in
person and under the influence of bad
associations were often induced to ap
ply these paym ents unwisely and de
prive th e ir fam ilies of th e benefits
thereof.
T his executive order w ill go into
effect Septem ber 1, next, its notion
having been posponed to th a t date in
order th a t no pensioner should suffer
inconvenience in consequence of delay
of receiving his pension, and to give
am ple tim e for the rem oval of the rolls
and records from the agencies discon
tinued. T he consolidation was made
by u n itin g existing agencies and the en
tire jurisdiction thereof in order that
no expense should be incurred by tho
m aking of new rolls.

telegraphic report from his agent at
Shelby Junction, M ont., of tin) out
rages perpetrated by a gang of drunken
cowlwys, in w hich members of the Co
lum bia opera company Buffered severe
indignities:
“ The eowboys began th eir disturb
ances by firing shots around tho G reat
N orthern Tind C anada train as it came
into the station w ith the opera folks.
W hile th e th eatrical people were sittin g
in the w aiting room, one of the cow
boys came in and began to use profane
and insulting language. D uring the
altercation I had in getting him out. 1
struck him w ith my fist. I then looked
th e door to keep him out. He went
away, and iinm ediatley returned w ith
several of h is chum s, arm ed w ith six-
shooters. H e was shouting th a t he
w ould shoot th e agent. He kicked the
door open, ami scared every one out of
the depot by flourishing his revolver.
The agent retreated to the warehouse,
w here lie rem ained a few minutes.
T he ringleader of th e cowboys went
out, and followed the theatrical people
to the hotel. Ho assaulted one by
strik in g him on the head w ith his gun,
and struck two or three others w ith his
fist. I am advised th a t he threatened
to run the station agent out of Shelby.
A w arrant is now in tho hands of the
sheriff, who w ill probably m ake arrests
tomorrow.

Medford, O r., Feb. 9.—A mass m eet

seventy-five have consented to put out

have subscribed a sufficient am ount to

W ashington, Feb. 8.—The daily ses
sions of the Republicans of the w ays
and m eans oom m ittee, which have been
in progress for some weeks, have
brought the tariff bill, w hich is to be
laid before the next congress, to a stage
w here the character of the measure can
l>c som ewhat gauged ami where several
of the most im p o rtan t schedules are
definitely fixed. In th eir conferences
up to this week, the tariff-m akers have
d ealt largely w ith th e general charac
teristics of the schedules w hich they
have had under consideration, and de
voted them selves to sifting the great
masses of figures, letter* and petitions
presented to them . Four schedules
have been fairly completed— the chem
ical, agricultural, w ines and sp irits and
th e earthen and glassw are schedules.
T oday’s m eeting was the most im
p o rtan t of the series, for it resulted in
th e fram ing of th e agricultural schedule,
w hich was made a re-enactm ent of the
M cKinley law, w ith few changes ex
cept on unim portant products.
The
m ost im porant step in connection w ith
th is schedule was th e establishm ent of
rates of $ 5 a head on cattle more than
1 year old, and of 25 per cent ad val
orem on cattle valued at more than $20
a head.
T he M cKinley rates on other live
stock, including th e rate of $2 on cat
tle of 1 year old or less, are restored.
The Wilson rates w ere 30 per cent ad
valorem on livestock, and, w hile the
new duty of $5 on cattle docs not reach
the McKinley figure of $10 on cattle
more than 1 year old, it is said th a t
w ith tho ad valorem on the more v alu
able grades, it w ill prove adequate to
sh u t out Mexican cattle. It is against
th e Mexican stock th a t the increase is
particularly desired, on the representa
tions of W estern cattlem en th a t th eir
business has boon ruined by the im por
tatio n s from Mexico under the Wilson
law, w hich am ounted to more than
200,000 head.
Much interest centered upon barley,
w hich tho com m ittee puts back to the
M cK inley duty of 30 o en tsa bushel, be-
otiUHO the farm ers contended th a t the
’V.1 taon tariff had turned over the m ar
ket into the hands of the C anadians,
w hile the m altsters, who have been
using Canadian barley, have made a
hard fight against any increase.
The M cKinley rates have been r e
stored on fru its and berries, m ainly
for the benefit of tho fruitgrowers of
the Pacific coast. The fru it exchange
of tho country bad prepared a schedule
of rates below tho McKinley bill and
above the W ilson rates, although they
did not succeed in having their schedule
adopted.
Among the products in the agricul
tu ral schedule w hich are returned to
th e M cKinley rates are breadstuffs and
rice, dairy products, potatoes and
starch, castor beans and fluxsccd, m eats
ami m eat products, and poultry, vegc
tables and salt.
T he dem and of the farm ers for the
M cKinley rHte of $4 a ton on hay in
stead of tho W ilson rato of $2, was
granted. Chicory is placed a t 1 cent a
pound, in accordance w ith tho request
of th e growers in the central states,
who believe they can capture the hum s
m arket w ith protection.

D uring the past six or eig h t years it
has been, and is, the desire of cities,
towns, villages and th e country a t large
to secure the erection of beet sugar fac
tories. There are two factories in Ne
braska, one in U tah, three in C alifornia
and an additional one about to he erect
ed. A ll the above states offered a bonus
of one cent per pound on the finished
product to encouarge capital to invest
the necessary am ount required to build
and eqnip a fair-sized factory. A few
days ago Senator Houghton had passed
a sim ilar bill for th e state of W ashing
ton.
The farmers throughout Oregon
should petition th eir representatives
a t Salem at once to pass a sim ilar bill.
It w ill require the cultivation of from
8,000 to 6,000 acres of land to supply
an ordinary sized factory, and w ith
beets at $5 per ton there is a gold m ine
in it for tho farmer. From the proceed
ings of th e th ird general convention of
tho N ebraska Beet Sugar Association,
th e beet farms in th a t state netted on
an average $50 per acre, w hich should
mean $75 to $100 [>er acre in Oregon
and W ashington. The price to bo paid
the farm er in the bill passed by the
state of W ashington is $5 per ton, and
the same provision should be inserted
in the Oregon bill.
T here is lots of room for factories in
W ashington and Oregon. Upwards of
$2,000,000 leaves these states annually
for sugar. J u s t th in k w hat this would
