(From Our Regular Correspondent).
Washington, Oct. 29, 1U00.
As this is the last week of the cam
paign the presidential election naturally
occupies the center of the stage in VVa-h-
ingtoo as well as thronghout he
country. It is needless to tell intelligent
readers that political signs are not in
fallible, and yet there ia nothing else
npon which to base an opinion of the
result of a political campaign. Most
of the political signs are now pointing
McKinleyward. This is aumitted even
by Mr. Bryan's most ardent supporters.
The republicans are claiming that ft is all
over but the shouting and say they are
speculating only on the extent of thoir
majority in the electoral college and in
the next house. The democrats say
there are some big surprises ahead of
Mr. McKinley and hit supporters; that
there is an undercurrent among the peo
ple which figures neither in the nows-
pape rs nor in polls made by political
committees; that is for Mr. Bryan and
will elect him. This claim may be
borne ont by the vote, but it is certainly
not worrying the McKintey managers at
this time, and if they don't know what
their opponents are about, they differ
from all other political managers. A
strong Bryan man said: "I still hope
for Mr. Bryan's election, but my judg
ment tells me that nothing short of a
miracle can accomplish it."
Reforms are sometimes contagious.
Although none of the South and Central
American governments were represented
at the Czar's peace conference at The
Hague, the preparatory steps toward
the court of arbitration provided for at
that conference, appear to have imbued
our southern neighbors on this continent
with the idea that if a court for the
arbitration of disputes between big
nations is a good thing, it must also be
a good thing lor the little nations. Con
sequently a movement is on foot to get
the matter befoie the Pan-American
congress, shortly to assemble in the City
of Mexico. The plan provides a court
of international arbitration, modeled
after that provided for by The Hague
conference, except that its jurisdiction
will be confined to this continent. This
is a good thing, and if put into practice,
ought to alow the wars and rumors of
impending wars which keep the little
republics to the south of us stirred uu
all the time, to the detriment of their
people.
Paymaster (ienoral Bates recommends
in his annual report that the law allow
ing ten and twenty percent extra pay to
officers and soldiers serving in the
island possessions of the United Stales
and Alaska, be amended so as to Include
all soldiers serving in countries beyond
the limits ot the United States proper,
and that the amendment take elfeft
from May 20, l'.MHl, the date of the law.
Under the law as it now etsnds, men
serving in Cuba, Po'lo Rico, and the
Philippines get the extra pay, while
thn.e serving in China do not. Gen.
Bates doesn't think this fair.
Professor W. H. Parker, of Pennsyl
vania, a chemist who has made a study
of high explosives, expresses the opinion
that no smokeless powder has yet been
made that can be safely kept for any
'ength of time, without deterioration
and liability to explode without appar
ent cause. He thinks the recent explo
sion al the government proving station
on the Potomas, below Washington, was
caused by smokeless powder, which our
naval officers had declared to be perfect.
One ef those who believe that a na
tional election in this country is one of
the most uncertain things on earth Is
Mr. A. T. Bracker. of Albany, N. Y.,
who is visiting Washington. He ssid,
while discussing the iibjuct: "It hat
been demonstrated time and smiiii that
no reliance can be placed in the ante
election indications. I am a republican,
and I feel as confident as one can of an
event in I he future, that Mr. McKinley
will be re-elected By no way of reason
ing can any man nuke himself believe
that Mr. Bryan has a chance, but 1
have noticed the way election go for
years, and freely admit that I would not
be a least bit surprised over a regular
landslide for the democratic candidate."
If Senator Sullivan, of Misii-sippi
were not a comparatively new man in
public life, the accusation contained in
a suit against hi in for breach of promise
of snarriat, filed in Washington, several
dsys ago, by Miss Leeton of Mississippi,
would htve created much more of a
sensation. The suit alleges that Miss
l-eton wan brought to Washington h
Senator Sullivan and lived with him as
his wife while being introduced as his
niece, and that for a time they lived in
Alexandria, Pa. openenly as man and
wife, under an assumed name. Senator
a'ullivan has set up the usual defense
blackmail. The worst part of the nasty
mess is that neilher Senator Sulliviin
nor his fiiends have denied that lie
bionglit the young woman to Washing
ton and lived with her as his wife. The
most they sav is that the women hai
no claim on birr. . That may be, but
his stale, the United States and corum n
decency has claims, upon every man
sent to the United Slates senate claims
which in this case hare ben ignored
Things are not as they once were. No
public man can openly live an immoral
life and retain the respect and suppon
of either his Immediate constituents oi

Cloic Season for Game,
The killing of deer and the catching
of trout of all species ceases on the first
of November. It it the opening day of
the close season, and those who persist
in continuing the sport may figure on
the extreme penalty of the law in the
event they are caught, No more deer
can be killed until the 15th ol next
July, and those who have not already
had a taste of venison will have to get
along without it until the law gives
them another opening.
Trout of all species are1 protected from
now on until the 1st of next April.
This ban extends to salmon trout, as
well as all other species. There are fish
ermen who have an idea that the law
does not apply to salmon trout, but the
act of the legislature is plain on this
matter, and salmon trout are given the
same protection as all other species.
Sportsmen, however, still have various
kinds of game to fall back upon. Quail
can be shot until the 15lh of this month,
and pheasants, grouse and prairie chick
ens until December 1. Jacktnlpe can
be shot until February, anil ducks, geese
and swan until the 15th of next March.
Deafness Cannot be Cureil
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness ia caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tebe gett
Inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever; nine caws out of ten are
canned by catarrh, which it nothing but
an Inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars foi

Grtat Dairy Industry.
Dr. Jamet AYilhycomb, vice-director
of the Oregon Agricultural Expeiiment
Station, is now in the east observing the
work of the experiment stations and
the method and result of various
agricultural operations, particularly
dairying. In a letter from Chicago,
ouder the date of October 25. he write
a follow, t General Freight and
Passenger Agent Markhatn, of the
Southern Pacific, who ia taking a deep
interest in ihe development ol the dairy
ing industry of western Oregon :
"Perhaps a few fact relating to the
statu of dairying In Wisconsin, Minne
sota and Iowa, obtained from personal
observation and from those engaged in
the industry, may be of interest to you.
"During the past month I have had
the pleasure of making a tour of the
experimental station and tome of the
principal dairying lection of the ttatet
mentioned. The trip baa been full of
irterest to me and afford ample oppor
tunity lor a study ot the method em
ployed In dairy hutbaudry and the
various detail connected therewith.
Condition are quite favorable tor dairy
ing in these states, although no note
n than they are In Oregon. The rich
oil and the splendid water furnished by
the almost Innumerable lakes of Wis
consin and Minnesota contributed ma
terially toward making these lection
desirable one tor dairying. These lakes
are more or lea deeply Iriuged with
rich grazing land, well sodded.with blue
grass, makfug almost Ideal cow past u ret
in the tpring and fall. But our com
paratively short winter and the abun
dant crop ot valuable protein-giving
plants we can grow mora than offset the
advantage possessed by theee.itatet tor
lucceasful dairying.
"A visit to the dairying section ol
these states cannot tail to lniprett one
favorably, a the earmark of prosperity
are in evidence on every hand, To
illustrate tbit point, perhapt, itatiatic
obtained in Jefferson county, Wisconsin,
will best serve my purpose. Tbl count
ha a population of about 40,000 people!.
and there are 40.0JO cow kept in thi
county, yielding an annual revenue from
tklm-milk, butter and cheese of 12,000-
000. Before the advent of dairying
mere, grain growingliwa the principal
agricultural industry. During this
period the average crop ol wheat dropped
to about eight bushel per acre anil 00
per cent of the farm were mortgaged.
Since the introduction ol dairying the
average yield ol wheat ha been brought
up to 22 bushel per acre and Ihe farmers
have $2,006,000 deposited to their credit
in the bank of the county. The
nhenomenal growth ol the industry In
this county is largely due to the personal
efforts of ex-Governor Hoard and to Ihe
influence of hi apendid paper, Hoard's
Dairyman.
"After invealigating the dairying In
dustry here my conviction are ma
terially strengthened In the (act that the
cow will ultimately become the corner
stone ot agricultural prosperity In our
late, probably more especially so in
western Oregon.
"From here I go east to visit Ihe
principal experiment nation and tbe
older dairying tectiont."

Manufacturt of Applt Products.
That the project for the establishment
of an apple butter and jelly factory in
thia city promises to bear Iruit Is evi
denced by the fact that Francis 1.
McKenns, of the board of trade, is in
receipt of a communication Irotn a man in
Kenlon.O., who write that ha will leave
there about the 20th of this month,
for the purpose of investigating the Held.
The writer is a man uf experience in that
particular line of Industiy, and will
probably make a success ol the venture
il he undertakes it.
That the opportunities for succei s In
this line of manufacture are ample Is
evidenced by the fact that thousands of
busheli of applet annually go to waste
in thit state. Many of them are unfit
fur shipment, because they are not per
fect in form or color, while otl.sr ate
more or left wormy. For the purposes
ol manufacture into apple butler or
jelly they would be Just as satisfactory
a the choicest ruil raited lo Ihe state.
Mr. McKenna states that there will
tie no difficulty In procuring a suitable
site (or the factory, aa a bonus, and if
thii inducement is sufficient, anothtr
industiy ol importance will be addtd to
Portland, The market lor the products
ol a factory of the character contem
plated is unlimited, as aince the imita
tion jellie and butter drivsn out of

ot the pure-food laws, there have been
scarcely any inch products in the
