tdvao&oek and Dairying ladoetrle Off
Than Or Opportunities.
Bute Food And Dairy Commisaioner
Bailey, after having wade a full and
careful inspection of the dairying and
stock industries of the Willamette val
ley, is convinced that no other branches
of agriculture offer better opportunities
for the farmer to realize, with proper
cffoit, handsome profit, fiom his labors
as do these. Willamette valley farm
ers, Mr. Bailey says possess advantages
for the raisins of thoroughbred stock,
not equaled anywhere in this legion.
Not only are all the conditions for
growing this stock ideal, but a market
on the ranges of Eastern Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana, stands
ready to take all that is offered, and at
prioes that leave no doubt as to the
profits.
"Within the past week," savs Mr.
Bailey, "there have been buyers in
Portland for breeding stock who came
piepared to buy an unlimited number.
From 110 to $15 each TU 'paid for
spring lambs and at these figures less
than 100 could be had and the parties
will now be obliged ! to go East for the
balance of their stock.
"To show how much it costs to
raise thesa lambs, i have only to tell
tou that on recent visit to one of the
valley farmers, I was shown a band of
100 Cotswold lambs that will average
in weight 140 pounds each. These
lambs were raised on grass on summer
fallow land which probably coat 30
cents an acre to sow. And as each and
everyone of these lambs is good for
f 10 bill it will not take much of a
mathematician to figure out the profits.
1 "The same proposition holds good
in regard to Angora goats. I have on
ray list many inauiries for goats and
while five cents per pound is freely
offered, there are none to be bad.
"I want to tell you right now,"
continued Mr. Bailey, "that this valley
iis destined to be the mohair center of
the world, for nowhere does the Angora
goat thrive and put on that lustre of
mohair as in the hills of the Willam
ette valley, and I am pleased to note
that increased interest is being taken
in these industrions animals. Within
the past 10 days a car load of pure
bred goats have been received in the
valley. These goats originated in
the distiiot of Angora and are bred in
the purple. The value of this ship
ment to the goat breeders of the North
west cannot at this time bo estimated.
I "if the farmers will only quit this
vioiou.i habit of summer fallow and in
stead raise clover, rape and vetehis
upon which to pasta re sheep, goats ahd
hogs, it will be the means ol raising
every , mortgage on the farms within
our borders.
"The question of dairying is a ser
ious one. The dairymen were anxious
to have a law passed protecting theii
interests, but are making no special
effort to supply the demand for butter
and cheese that is sure to come this
winter. Already there is a shortage of
good dairy products, while within 85
miles of Portland, located on the line
of railroad are to be seen two cream
eries with the notice 'for sate or rent'
on each of them. These creameries
are situated where there is every pos
sible advantage for dairying, and upon
investigation I find that they were
not closed because the patrons did not
do well, bnt because one fellow thought
some other fellow was doing better or
making more than be should oat of
the concern.
"Yes, there is as yet much to learn
bnt the farmers have learned one les
son and that is that there is no money
in raising 15 bushels of wheat to the
a ore and for which 45 to 60 cents is all
that can be hadand they are now giv
ing more thought and study along oth
er lines."
1 Sng-ar Faotory Wilt Start.
Joseph Barton, manager of the Ore
gon Sugar Company, is making prelim
inary arrangements for starting a fac
tory for the seasons' inn. The factory
, will start about the 15th of September.
About 100 men will be employed at
the factory, as the factory will have a
much larger ran this season than last,
in fact there is a certainty of having
more than twice the amount of beets
to work. A great deal of labor will be
, required in harvesting the beet crop,
which will commence within very
short time. There will consequently
, be a strong demand for labor in that
vicinity during all tire fall season.
gueeaeefal Bidden.
Roberts Bros., capitalists of Spokane,
were successful bidders for the Daven
port water works bonds, the firm offer
ing a premium of 11,000 for the issue
of 14,450. There were several other
bidders represented at the council
meeting when the bids wore opened.
The first offers were all rejected as be
ing too low. New bids were callod for
and Robert Bros, secured the bonds.
Call for Band Bid.
The treasurer of Baker county has
issued a call forbids for the $15,000
bond issue to build a soliool house.
These bonds are to draw interest at the
rate of five per cett per annum, inter
est pavable semi-annually, and the
bonds will be issued in denominations
of $1,000 each. They are payable in
20 years, or payable at pleasure Of dis
trict in 10 years. All the bonds will
be sold together.
Debt Will Be Paid, i
The troubles of the Montana Power
Company of Butte are to be adjusted
at once and the work of installing the
machinery at the big dam on the Big
Hole river will be pushed to comple
tion at an early date. A capitalist of
Butte has assumed the indebtedness of
the concern, wliiuh amounted to $210,
000. Of this amount $185,000 repre
sented liens on the property and ma
chinery, and $85,000 of receiver's cer
tificate for repairs to the dam last
spring and fall,
Hop Ma Damaged.
' The hops in yards adjacent to Salem
were in no manner damaged by the
leeent copious rain fall. All the grow
ers agiee that the rain has proved of
great benefit to the hops, coming at
quite th proper time. The success of
the year's crop is of great concern
financially to those engaged in the cul
ture thereof. '
The first carload of Idaho green fruit
to be shipped this season left Boise
Baturday for Chicago. Other cars will
follow In a few days and the great sea
tor Southern idnho will begin.
Heavy Kxpnrte at Whoa Fewer Bast.
bm Patlurae Keported.
Bradstreet't savs: The trade gath
eis strength as summer wanes. Reports
of expanding fall demand arrive, ac
companied by very cheerful advices
as to the outlook in most parts of the
country. In manufacturing lines pro
duction appears to be at a minimum,
and the price situation retains most of
its old strength. Notable in the mat
ter of added strength are most of the
cereals and iron and steel in many
forms. The impetus given to wheat
prices by the government report last
week has been further reinforced by
less favorable crop advices from other
countries, notably India, and export
business is reported as somewhat im
proved, . Wheat (including flour) shipments
for the week aggregate 4,040,009 bush
els, against 8,616,164 bushels , last
week, 8,988,848 bushels in the corre
sponding week of 1898, 6,316,803 bush
els in 1897, 2,991,693 bushels in 1896,
and 2,389,140 bushels in 1895. ,
Since July 1 this season, the exports
of wheat aggregate 26,165,065 bushels
against 22,846,076 bushels last year,
and 21,43,344 bushels in 1897-98.
Business failures for the week num
ber 172, as compared with 156 last
week, 195 in this week a year ago. 221
in 1897, 264 in 1890, and 192 in 1895.
Bonding at a Lsw Mat of Interact.
Some of the counties of Montana are
reduoing expenses by bonding their in
debtedness at a low rate ot interest.
Beaverhead is about to issue 4 pet cent
bonds to the amount of $40,000, and
Gallatin county offeia $137,000 in
bonds bearing interest at the tate of
1 per cent.

Bow a Maxlcaa Alcalde Learned Coma
of the DtSlcalttee of Hatlroadlag,
The old Southwestern engineer waa
telling tales of by-gone days down In
Mexico and dwelling upon the Mexl
can's Ignorance of railroading.
"unce, near victoria," said be, "we
iwere loaded heavily with Iron, and we
lilt the usual drunken Mexican asleep
on the track. Them folks used to think
ja roadbed better'u a wool mattress. It
was down grade and around a curve,
and we were going at a fair clip, and.
though we bad air brakes, we eouldu't
hold up In time. We ground him up,
and at Victoria, ten mllea further ou,
we didn't have any better sense than to
report It Of course, the train was side
tracked and we were put In Jail. Next
day we were hauled up before the alcal
de, lie was a little, dried up umu, with
mahogany skin and snow-white mus
tache. It bristled fiercely, but I noticed
that his eye twinkled a good deal and
I sorter cottoned to him right away.
We told him that we couldn't stop the
train In the time allowed us, and It waa
the truth. He said, through an Inter
preter, of course: '
" 'I've beard all this before. Five ot
my people have been killed by trains In
six months and I have let the train
crews go. They said they eouldu't stop.
I'm going to see about this. Your train
is on the sidetrack, coupled and loaded.
We'll fire up and go back to the place
where you killed Vicente. We'll run
down at the same speed. When you
'come near to the curve you must try
hard to stop. I will go In the cab with
you.
"Well, we fired up and went back
three miles beyond the death spot
Then we started forward again. Ot
course it was not my business to ruu
too slowly. I wanted to show the
alcalde that stopping In the space de
scribed was an impossibility. Old 93
Was a quick engine, and Inside of two
miles, it being a down grade, we were
doing a two-mtnute clip. We struck
jthe curve at forty miles an hour. The
alcalde had never in his life been on a
jtralu, and he waa leaning out of the cab
window, waving his big straw hat and
shouting 'Viva! Viva! . As we lighted
the spot where Vicente had been pul
verized the airbrakes went on like the
clamp of death. I .was thrown to the
floor of the cab myself. As for the,
alcalde, he shot through the window
like a rocker, . turned six somersaults
and lit on bis back In the sand thirty
feet away. The train ground to a
standstill, yards beyond the blood
stained , ties. He came limping up,
brushing the sand out of bis white hair.
I remember that his mustache was all
bent down on one side. He looked up
at me and said simply, 'Valga me Dlosf
which Is about equivalent to 'Dern my
buttons? We went back to town; he
discharged as all and Invited us to din
ner with him. . We stayed and pulled
out that evening. Everybody ran pret
ty much on his own schedule In them
times.'' '
Whence Gotta Perooat Cornea.
The tree from which gutta pereha is
obtained grows in Borneo, and In oth-
jer Islands of the Indian Archipelago
eays the Philadelphia Times. It la very
large, but the wood is spongy, and of
little use as timber. The leaves grow
on long stalks, and are green above
and of a bright yellow beneath. The
flowers are small and grow in pretty
tufta In the axils of . the leaves, each
on a separate stalk or stem.
To obtain the gutta percba of com
merce, the finest trees are cut down,
and incisions are made In the bark;
a milky juice exudes from the incis
ions, and la reserved by little troughs
made for that purpose. When the
juice has hardened to a certain extent
it Is kneaded into cakes and exported.
The cakes are of a reddish brown col
or and are full of Irregular pores.
Before, however, the cakes are ready
for use they have to undergo some
preparation. They are first sliced Into
very thin shavings and then placed
In a "tearing" machine, which re
volves In a trough of hot water. The
machines tears the shavings Into
small pieces, and the hot water washes
them thoroughly. These pieces are
then made into cakes and the cakes
are rolled several times between heat
ed cylinders to free them from any air
or water that they may contain, and
to make them uniform In texture.
Again they are rolled between heated
rollers and thus made into sheets of
various thicknesses for use, or formed
into rods, water pipes or any other
shapes which may be desired.
Whale In Shrimp Met.
A small bottle-nosed whale 11 feet
long and 6 feet in circumference bas
been captured off the Essex coast, and
la now to be seen on the beach ' at
Southend. It was surprised near the
shore by some local fishermen, who
managed to take it by tangling it up
in an old shrimp net.
Its vitality was so great that It lived
for fifty hours after capture. The idea1
ot tackling a ton of lively whale with
a shrimp net does not in the least Im
press its captors, who, says our corre
spondent, "would go for a sea serpent
with a half Inch rope."
Fireworks Every Sunday. ,,-
In the old Brazilian town of Babla
fireworks form a part of the regular
Sunday ceremonies.' The town bas a
number of churches, and they fiercely
compete for - patronage. First the
great deep-toned bells remind the
townspeople that Sunday Is come.
Then the crash of fireworks reminds
them that their attendance at service
is earnestly desired. So every Sunday
morning and evening witnesses a small
Fourth of July celebration from an
American standpoint in the queer old
town of Babla.
