The Lebanon Express. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1SSS. STATE TEMPEltASCK ALLIANCE CALL. - The regular session of the Oregon State Temperance Alliance will be held at The Dalles, Oregon, February 15lh and 16, 1SS8, conmieiidnc at 10 o'clock a. m., on the loth. Every church, Sundav School, and temperance society is entitled to one delegate, and every organized county alliance to twice as many delegates as there are members in the legislature assembly from said coun ty. The people of The Dalles expect to furnish, entertainment for delegates, and the usual reduction of fare will be secured on the O. & C. and O. R, & N lines of railroad. As the Dalles is con veniently located for both the eastern and western part of the State, it is hoped that both sections as well as Southern Oregon will tie represented. We must preserve ami, make elleetive the im mense prohibition sentiment developed by our late campaign. A large and en thusiastic meeting of the Alliance is necessary to accomplish this purpose. Let us have it. (. M. Miller, President. . J. E. Kox, Secretary. "PROHIBITION CONFERENCE.

We learn from him that grain generally works well in . this neighborhood. - Mr. Powell like many of the well-to-do farmees believes in mixed farming and is going to give more attention to this kind of business. A good idea. Uxtrck. With their usual unrelia bility both the Albany papers claim that one E. II. Bahr has purchased the Express. Such is not the case at alL Mr. Bahr merely made a prop osition, which has not been accepted. That's all. " ' Likes Ocr Valley. Mr. S. 8.

While we ac knowledge the Golden State to be vast ly rich in many ways and in various productions, the same may be satd of Oregon. California has seen its palmiest days Oregon has not. California is an old and wealthy ftate Oregon is not, prac cieally speaking. California has pass ed through a wonderful boom, receiv ing population and riches thereby Oregon is waiting. Our neighbor is losing its hold upon the eastern mind, to a great extent, by high-priced real estate Oregon is tightening its grip upon the affection of settlers la-cause of the cheapness of soil with equal pro ducing capacity. California lumber and other commodities are away up in price Oregon gives low prices on its products lumber, wood, meats, vege tables, etc, yet the farmer accumulates, by economy and care. California cli mate is wearing out Oregon's acts as a panacea for these who have tired of the blizzard and sand-storm. California soil is not especially, adapted to diver sified work that of many portions of Oregon are, and offer speeial features in this direction. If a land-owner has an inclination to grow hogs, he has the ground for corn and larley; if horses, the soil for oats and wheat; if cattle, the tract for pasture; if fruit is wanted for home consumption, the orchard ipot is easily found; if to enter into the work on a large scale the soil will le found of easy cultivation, and appar ently to enjoy tillage and the produc tion of as fine apples, pears, plums, cherries, and other as line varieties of fruit as one could wish for. If a mau will come here in the vicinity of Leba non, get himself forty acres of land for which there are several suitable places put out an orchard of ten or fifteen acres in prunes and pears, in five years he will enjoy an income that ; any merchant in the county would envy. There is no place that these two varieties of fruit do tis well as in the Willamette valley. There is also many other industries lying dormant in this immediats vicinity. Prominent among them is tne abundant supply or balm timber wrre damaged a little, but most all cf for the manufacture of paper. To in-tlle foH wheat looks nice and greet, sure such an enterprise at Lebanon s Grass Is growing fine this warm weath a water power, at a nominal cost. It ani stoek is doing well, is to be regretted that our town is not; largely to our population and show to the outside world that Ave live in a town that is psogressing.

After finishing his work, the brute ran out the back way and went to the slough north of the house, his son Willis following him. Lan- dreth attempted to drown himself by j putting his head under the water, but i tne boy caught him by the coat and j jerKea mm uatK. lie men ran u the nm ana starteu across tne long bridge i toward Olel Independence, the boy fol fowing and crying for help. He was caught by T. L. Hartman, who saw them running. Landreth resisted for some moments, but finally submitted and was immediately taken to and lodged in the city jail. He exhibite-d signs of Insanity, and made several at tempts to commit suicide, but was dis covered. On examination the girl was found to have received several severe wounds in the body. Her face was cut in several places and she was stabbed in the temple, the knife going through the head. Her wrist was also severed, exe?ept a few leaders. Ieath must have been immediate. Landreth had a hearing be-fore Justice Lines on Mon day and was held without bail to an swer the charge of murder. He was taken to Salem for safe keeping. This is the fourth murder committed in Polk county in seven months. The Storv-Tellixo Fiknd. Re cent observations lead us to believe there is no more disagreeable man than the one who always want to tell a story. When he is permitted to unfold a nar rative he generally digresses so widely that it would take a civil engineer to keep track of the thread of the story, but he wanders laboriously along, and stumbles over himself, and twists the epilogue of the story into the prologue, and finally, in an enthusiastic dash, ushers in the alleged joke, which is supposed to excuse the long and deso late preamble. Then people are ex pected to laugh, but they would prefer weeping. And when it is all tvtr the infernal bore says: "That reminds me of another story," and he launches in to a second wilderne-ss of digressive chestnuts, and so on until bloodshed results, and the story-teller is gathered to his fathers. Be Vigilant. It might be. well to suggest to our city authorities the im portance of sanitary measures in case small pox threatens to invade this se-c-tion. This disease is raging in epidem ical form in San Francisco and some easels are reported in Portland, also Sa lem. .It is said, "an ounce of prevent ative is worth a pound f cure," and should that dread disease be brought among us, It would do an incalculable amount of injury, Ix-sidcs, doubtless, causing the loss of many lives. We trust every" precaution wiQ be taken in time, by the authorities and e-itizens generally, to wHrd off this terrible j courge Jt may strike this vninity -J an v time. . TOLD UY CORRESPONDENTS ROCK MILL. January 81. Mrs. La Forge, who has been sick for some time Is recovering. The Richardson family have nearly all been sick for the past week. A. Dodge lost a line colt n few days ago, from some mysterious disease. Tliere is going to be an exhibition in the near future at Roek Hill school house. Mr. Thos. Nickels has been sick for a few days, but m ith proper treatment will soon le well again. Jack, Daniels, who has been work ing on tlie railroad during the summer, has returned home to remain for the winter. Sam. Wilson is the loss checker player .of Rock Hill and has been knocking out all the boys who have played with him. Mr. Ayers bought a. small farm from A. Dodge a short time since,-with the intention of making this part of the county his home. In a few weeks our school for this term will close. As there will be no more school till fall the pupils of this district will have a long vacation. W. B. Mills, of this place, started to his work near Peoria, one day last weeku to Ik? absent for some time in finishing up a job of eariM-uter work. Miss Ruth Richardson spent last Sabbath at her home, south of Rock Hill, and returned to Lebanon again on Monday to resume her studies a t the academy. The roads are in a horrible condition since the rains. A wagon almost sinks out of sight. It seems that Oak creek bridge is never going to be put lu place until summer, and then we don't need it. We notice some excellent eorres- pondence from the pen of Allen Si mons, of Tolo, Oregon. Allen Is a good fellow and many of us who know him are pleased to hear from him through the Exvkkss. The latest sown grain is not hurt any by the late cold weather, as was anticipated at first. Some fall oats Mr. Janeway, the newly appointed agent, returned last week. Mr. liarretts folks have recovered from their recent illness. Hammer Bros, have erected a tcle- phone line between their residence. There are two or three cases of j mumps in town. W. F. Hammer is suffering from an nt tacit and A. A. Bashor, who has been ill for some days, is just recovering. W. E. Spicer returned from East Portland the latter part of last week, at which place he had la-en looking after business interests. We are in formed that Mr. S. will prolwbly move hem, sometime in March. The carpenters are at work on the spire of the new church. We learn fhat the "building committee" antici pate having it completed in time i;r a series of meetings which are exjiected to be held here sometime during this month. Since Linn county gave !)4I majority for prohibition at the recent election, it would seem eminently proper that there should le but two tickets in the field next June and one of them prohi- bition. If the friends of prohibition in the two old parties should unite, they would be invincible. Farmers have been much diswu raged over the wheat prospect, as it was eon-sidere-d killed by the recent freeze. The past few days, however, have develop ed the fact that tneir fears have be-en groundless, in part at least, as winter varieties are all right and some spring varieties are greening up. The latest sown has stood the freeze better than the early. Siva Mo. 2. HAMILTON CREEK. January 27. Mr. Sutton, our systematic farmer, is making extensive clearing this win ter. J.G .

Plxlcy, editor of the fr gonant, on his return to San Francisco after visiting this state, with the ex cursion party on the occasion of the driving of the golden spike on the O. C. railroad connecting the two states, among other things, has this to sny of Oregon: One of the incidents that.will re main longest and most pleasantly In our mind will be the trip to Oregon, from which we have recently returned. How far the comfort of a special car, with a private room, board, soft be-d, personal toilet, excellent e-ook, atten tive waiters, good company, and not a cent to pay, may have contributed to our exaltation of 'mine!, we leave our rcaek-rs to conjecture. To those distant subscribers to our journal who do not reail our elally pre-ss, and who may not le presumed to be over-mueh Interest ed in affairs that are merely personal, we may be permitted to say that the State eif Oregon is our nearest neigh bor; its people are exactly like our own so far as they are of American birth. California is of more' cosmopol itan characteristic in the make-up of its population. In this re-sject Oregon has the Ite-st of us, and so far in her history has had no riots of any import ance; has had no sand-lot insurrection, or other Irish rebellion; no uprising against the, Chinese, because, as hi Inf ers, they are more eompe-tent, arid as members ef the community, more law abiding and orderly, and more cle-anly j in their persons and elwellings, and more Industrious than any foreign na tionality that speiuls its time and earn ings in gin, idleness, superstition and Hhties. ! OregVn has for Its southern IkhiikI ary, separating the State from Califor tiia, the Siskiyou range ef mountains, here-tofore prae-ticably impassable-. A stage route has carried passengers over its snow-clad heights in summer, but the product lent of Oregon found no market in California, and there Mas less intercourse between the nopIe of Oregon and California than lietwe-en any states of American Union. We know le-ss of Oregonians and they know less of us than of people of any other state. The objee-t of our visit was to accom pany Mr. Charles Crocker, and his objee-t was to drive the golde-n spike that should link our states in golden bonds of social union and in stronger bands of commercial Intercourse, for Mr. Crocker and his assne-iate-s have brok en down the barrie-r of the Siskiyou, have elamlH-red Its precipitous sides, have dug through its spurs, le-am-d its gorge-s and canyons, pierced its rock ribbeel siue-s with a tunnel, and in the ; heart of the great mountain the e-nrs wend up their circular stairway till they look forth upon the be-autiful val- ' leys of the newly dise-ovcred tate. j Oregon Is mop beautiful than Cali fornia. Its valuys of Rogue river,and the Umpmia, and the Willamette, ! through which we passeel, are all fer tile and productive; the-ir soil e-qual, i if it do-s not exce-11 the average rich ness of tur state. Oiegon produces apples superior to any that come to our market; they are hard, e-risp, lus cious, and juiey. Plums, pears, prune-s, potatoes, roots of all kinds, grains of all the e-oarser varie-tie'S, on ions, ami other vegetables were pre sented at se-veral of the villages through whie-h we passe-el. We saw most excellent and well cared corn, j Oregon ought to be, and we believe is, a first-elass dairy state. It is a eountry of grass front the ted of Its streams to the summit of its hills; of rie-h nutri tious gmsse-s that must be cut, dried, turned to hay, and covered from rain to carry the milking stwk through the winter. The grasses of Oregon are like those of New York timothy re-el-lop, herds grass, and clover; and, by reason of the freijucnt rains, crops of great abundance are' prodttced. We can imagine no better country for the production of stall fed lie-ef, as hay, oats, grains and cattle fce-il of nil kinds is che-ap and abundant. The stock of cattle and horses can be greatly im proved. We saw, as we passed in our flying trip, no blooded animals, and in service at Portland and other tetwus, few fine bred horses. In. butter and e-heese making the Oregon ian fanner ! has almost everything to learn. The state is already producing cheese that is favored at our clubs, and butter of most excellent quality. It would be a good thing if an oetrolgate could !e fixed at the mountain-pass connecting our states, admitting five all produc tions of a superior quality, ami re-je-ct-ing with a prohibitory elutv, the pro- a , ".0t 1Sno"'ancc' HTUfii and imcleanhness. There is a vast wealth of profit to the Oregon farmer if he will at-nd us his butter and cheese, chickens and epgs, his apples and ci der, and all the lesser productions of his iudustrv, in ekhI and cle-anly con dition. Tliere ought to be no devieo of cheese-making, practical in rjwitzer land or France, that the Oregon farm-e-rs could not Improve; tliere ought to Ikj no trick in batter-making that the Oregon dairyman docs not under stand. There is a fortune to le made in fat chickens and barn-yard fowls, for, as a rule, our chickeMis are lean, dry, and unfit to eat. We import ei der in bottles from New Jersey, and make it from dried apples with acids. We should get it fresh and pure from Oregon orchards; and we suggest to the Oregon, farmer that he spade the earth lesise alxuit the roots of his old neglected fruit trees, 'and let the sun liffht and the air in upon their roots. The average Oregon sheep is, we think, ln-tter bred, larger and finer fleeced than our California flocks, at all events they look clemuer and more comforta ble en their irrcen meadows than on ,nrom?ll whjon we passed is divided into small holuinfrs and the farms look j as though they were occupied and till - " J i hi. u unit v i;iiii-ii i ij ii t-i oy them. a Oregon seems to supply everything that California lacks, and each state appears to the other a market in which to exchange Its productions. Oregon should supply California with hams and bacon, as the country is admira ' bly adapted for the raising of swine. and its climate better than ours for curing pork. There is no rigorous cli mate in the northern State, and though its grantler mountain ranges, with their loftier jieaks wrapped in mantles ti eternal snow, present a laiulscane that is most attractive, s tliere is verv little lee and snow In th lower valleys. Oregon is a safer eewii- 1 try in which to farm than California, ! f,!r wpultw it a we may, raul may t plant and Appolos may water it, i j ram!lljn , with (io,j wliellivr or not he gives the increase. OF INTEREST TO FARMERS. StatUt Irnl and Instructive Note for the Partner, Stockman, Gardener and Dairyman. A big horse with style will always sell for a big price. Shepherd elogs, untrained, are the worst brentl to kill sheep. When pup pies they should never run nt large. Ducks usually be-gin to lay In Febru ary. They require a warm house-, with leaves or cut straw upon which to sleep at night, as tlamp quarters are injuri ous to them. Oats that have been cut in the milky stage and well cured before being stor ed in the barn make excellent food for horses if the straw and heaels be passed through a fodder cutter. Fourteen years ago the first creamery was started In Iowa. Now that state has 495 cri-anierk-s, 50 cheese factories, l,0()(),ooo cows, and makes for export 85,000,000 pound of butter annually. A traveler, who recently returm-d from a trip to New Mexico, says that in a little valle-y in the south if the territory lie saw rh;e apples, green ap ples and apple blossoms all growing in the same orchard. fJOO a da3 is the average of the oleo margarine ree-elpts at the Chicago rev enue oflie-e, Indicating the manufacture of 47,XK) pounds per day. There are less than one-half the number of houses that exlsteel one year ago. The number of cattle in the United States in January, 1887, was over 4:1, ()O0,O00. Of this number at least 15, 000,000 were milch cows. In value these milch cows represent more than one-third of the capital invested in cat tle. It is claimed that the average pro duction of farms is less than that of twent j- years ago. This shows that our system of farming has not iuiproved, and condemns the growing of grain on large areas. The reim-dy is smaller farms and bette-r cultivation. The Influence ef the best seed to prtt duee the best crop may becstimatetl by the superiority of "thoroughbred" over common stock, and the same principles apply o the production of vegetables and fruit as in the production of the liest and finest grades of cattle. It will pay to clear off a space for the e-ows In the barnyard if the ground be covereel with snow, In orele-r to have a dry spot for them when the thaw shall U-gin. Standing In snow is not as In jurious as standing in water, and the drains should be opened while the suow is light. Small losses are not always observ able. A loss of one quart of milk pe-r day, at 5 cents pe-r quart, 200 days, amounts to flO or more thau the inter est on the value of the cow. It should le the object of the dairyman to gain an additional quart, and to keep up the flow at all seasons. The utility of winel mills on the farm is now very generally recognized, and the- arese-e-n dotting hundreds of farms where live years ago none were to In found. A western farmer writes that with his wind mill he grinds ail kinds of feed, makes a good article ef corn- meal and Graham flour, shells corn, runs a feed cutter and a 29-ine-h wooel saw. The habit of horses snapping and biting at everything within reach Is of ten the result of teasing ami torment ing them. It is a periiic-lous habit, to say the least one that should !e brok en up if i ss:l)le. It is said that a horse may be eureel by filling a small bag made of loose- cloth full of Cay enne ieppcr and letting him chew and bite it all he pleases. 1 ! . ..PI ..!!

It will stop up the cracks and ereviet-s, whie-h are usuallj- the sources of trf-o much cold air entering. The paper can be easily applied by tacking it in place, or it may be held in posi tion by nailing laths up and down over it. Experiments made to iliseover how much butter cau lie made from a pound of milk shows a great variety of results. It has been found that the quantity of milk required to produce a pound of butter depends on so many greatly varying circumstances that no definate quantity can le flxeel upon. Even the same cow's milk varies in quantity as well as qualit-, from one day to an other. Should a buggy or wagon tire le come a little loose from shrinking of the felloes, instead of taking the wheel to the shop to have the tire cut and re placed, get half a gallon of linseed oil, and after heating it pretty well, pour the same iu a shallow dish and give the rim of the wheel two or three elow turns through it; the oil penetrating the fe-lloe-s will so swell tlu-m that the tire will become as tight as ever. Cleanliness of the body asul legs is to be considered, for after the horses have been in a condition of nature and they are suddenly brought into the. artificial Lstate of domestication thej' ceaso tm roll or shake off the dirt accumulating on their boelies anil legs. Now, If the stable men will attend, cleanse and dry the legs of horses by genuine elbow grease, the trouble they call scratches will never be heard of again. Scratches, cracked heals and grease are all the result of bad stable manage ment and chronically lazy grooming. Aecortling to ex-Secretary Kussell, of the Massachusetts boaril of agriculture, who is good authority on equines and their management, the be-st time to water horses is an hour be-fore or an hour after eating. If watered just -before eating the temperature of the stomach Is lowereel beyond tho diges tive point, and the food is not acted upon till the temperature gets back to its normal condition. Suppose His master takes him to the watering trough jnst after eating, and his stom ach is full of food, and lie drinks a pail or two of water. The consequence is that a portion of the fooel is forced out of the stomach and swept along In to the large intestines without asslmil ation. ?, jJkii-n.Nc 3aiiunry 28, ear Iebnnon, on Thursday, 1888, to the wife of F.
