Scientists are devoting closer attention to food product!, e'oent examinations of baking powders by Prof. Long, Dr. Haines, Prof- Prescott, were made to determine which powder was the purest, highest in leavening strength, most efficient in service, and most economical in cost. Thejr decide that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder excels in all the essentials of &n ideal preparation for household use. They write: "Chicago, March 8th, 1894. We have purchased in the open market cans of Dr, Price's Cream Baking Powder and also of the other leading brands of baking powders, and have submitted them to chemical analysis. We find thai Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar powder, that is has a considerably greater leavening strength than any of the other baking powders we have ever tested.

Polk county's Increase of $1,019,000 in assessed valuation over last year is being generally ascribed to the present ownership books often condemned, The Whitney Bros., of Tule lake, finished work with their steam Ibreasher last week with a score of 34,054 bushels In 29 days. This Is the best threashing record ever made in Klamath county. Jessie Johnson, a Pendleton high school girl, Is liable to lose the use of her right arm as the result ot some bad boy's prank. He etreched a wire across an elevated walk, and she fell hard on her elbow. An effort will be made to ferret ont the guilty boy and punish him properly. The Roseburg Review is making a demand that the delinquent-tax ex)iense bill of Assessor Sterling, of Douglss county, he cut dowu by the county court. Mr. Sterling is the author of numerous epistles on econo my, and It will be interesting to see how be views the suggestion. While bunting In the Lincoln county mountains In company with Walter Mlers, of Alsea, and Mauly Buckingham, of Belfontalne, Marion Palmer, a lad of 18 years, aocldently discharged bis gun, the ball taking effect In the left arm near the elbow, aud passing out at the wrist. For tunately, no bones were broken. A man advertises In the Eugene Guard as follows: The parties who carried away gates just for fun, have been allowed 24 hours, within which to return them just for fun. Tajee parties are hereby notified that unless the stolen property 1b returned within the next 24 hours, they will be prose cuted to the full extent of the law It is remarkable that of (be six deaths uopn which assessments are to te paitl in the A. 0. TJ. W. order for the month pf October, five of them were violent, "wo were frpn diown Ing, one railroad accident, one crushed by machinery, one pistol shot and the, sixth tuberculosis. There are now 0.708 members In that order in Oregon. Duncan Scott, of Eugene, was seu It'tiurd to one year In the penitentiary for adultery. This is Bajd to be the first eonvlction for adultery in Oregon, anil the first time that a single man has been tried on the charge. The complainant was A. J.

Two brothers named Kenscl got into a quarrel, when one of them grabbed a shot-gun and fired twic at his brother, following it up with five shots from a revolver, some ot which took effect. At last reports the young mini was alive, but with no hopes of his recovery Curtis Ha wley, aged about 25 years, and a student at Monmouth, was seriously Injured Friday forenoon by being struck on the hand while play ing football. His injuries are of a very serious nature, his skull being crushed In just behind the right temple. The game of football is hardly ever played without an accident of sntne fcind, and every player is inorc or less bruised In every contest that takes place. Indepndent. : Speaking of the river survey the Independent of Salem says: It is easy to understand why the survey b merely senatorial election. The survey is merely a feint at river im provement and the party will probably not reach Portland until after a senator is chosen. Dolph wishes to create a belief among the people that be is a friend to river improvement whether he is or not, If he succeeds himself the river will be improved lu the Sweet Bye and Bye." A dispatch from Omaha states that It was given out at the Union Pacific headquarters that that road will buy the Oregon Pacific when it is offered for sale in a few days, and will hurry forward to completion the proposed road from Portland to Astoria. At this writing there are enough bidders to make an Interesting event. But will they materalize on December 22. Until the actual bidding lukes place the publio will be skeptical. The out look, though is certainly good. An Oregon City dispatch sayR that for the first time since the salary law for county offlcers went Into effect, , the receipts" of the county clerk's and recorder's offices more than paid sain. ries for October. The clerk collected $297.80 with a salary expense ofj.21.5? The recorder's receipts were $2.16 20; with total expenses, $177. So, on there two offices, the county is ahead $142. The sheriff, however, took In only $56.10. The clerk Issued 30 mnrriuge licenses this October, while for the same month in 1893, but 14 were issued. The recorder's fees this month amounted $60 more than for the corresponding month lust year, 84 more instruments behu tiled. Of the 23 instruments this mouth, 106 were deeds, 60 real estate mortgages, 33 releases, 31 chattel mortguges, and 12 miscellaneous. This surely does not indicate a very bad condition of affaire for Clackamas county, A Wretched Story. The Corvallis Times tells tlie follow ing actual experience: There Is a $750 mortgage on a certain Corvallis home and it falls due in February. The Indebtedness was Incurred by plece nieol, supplying ftinds to a y,'orliles sou, The money went through his hands for whiskey, carousals and es capades that kept his mother lu a state of oonstant worry and anxiety. Two years ago he straightened up and married, on? ot tlie fairest youug girls o the county, but soon lapsed hack into his shameless habits. By and by tlie vagabond became a father aud six months ago he skipped out, leaving wile aud child to the cure of tlie world, and his old mother to worry aipl fret, over the debt his wretched career bad created. Where he is now, nobody knows, aud few care. If lliere U no hell there is need for one, a pluce into which, headlong, this curse upon his family might be pitched. Killed by a Live Wire. George Hansen, a young engineer at McCrow & Steusloffs 11 eat murket in Salem, was this morning electrocuted In the cold-storage room by a live electric wire. Hansen wus lu the storage room at work" and liy some means came in contact with the Hire, and was dead before the discovery was made. When relief went to him the ourreut was still running through his body, which was burned in places to a crisp, his clothing being on fire. It is not known exactly how the accident happened.. He was about 25 years of age and has no relatives in this state. He was member of the Knights of Pythias of that city, and tbey will probably take charge of the remains. Buy your stationery of M. A.

The question of hop-raising hni been be fore tlie various church organizations ot the Northwest of late, witli the result that the churches have succeeded in making Ihemselvesexceedingly ridiculous. Recent ly the Northwestern Baptist Association, in session at Centralis, Wash., almost unanimously adopted the following reso lution : . " Wh mums, A Inrge portion of the fertile land of this convention field is devoted to tlie culture of hops for brewing purposes and "W'kbbhas, A large number of tlie members ot our churches are receiving the greater portion of their financial incomes from hop culture; therefore, be It "Resolved, That it is the sense of tills convention that the raising of hops, barley or other cereals for brewing or distilling purposes is an alliance with tlie saloon and satan in his work of ruin and damnation, with which no disciple of Christ ought in any way to be connected." A somewhat similar resolution was pre sented in the Southern M. E. Conferenc. at Oregon City two weeks ago, but the mem bers showea some wisdom in modifying it. and would have shown more had' they con demned the resolution to be indefinitely tallied. Home of the M. K. preachers showed the ridiculousness of the resolution by the reasonable statement that barley, peaches, grapes, com, etc., could all be used in the manufacture of alcoholic liauors and asked if the church was to condemn the raising of all these for that reason. When finally adopted the resolution simply declared it to be tlie policy of the church to discourage the people from producing any thing or doing anything that would pro mote intemperance. There are hundreds of grain, and fruits that will produce alcohol, and if the church were to put its embargo on all of them and that would be just as reasonable as putting it on hops the people would starve to death; that is, if they obeyed the churches but the people have outgrown that, and the day has now come when that which is unreasonable will not be accepted even from the church, gbosedecadence will surely be hastened by such foolish resolu tions as that adopted by the Northwestern Baptist Association. Fossil Journal. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Coosctti Crahiibb, ) Lbbanon, Or., Nov. 6, 1894.) Present, the Hon. C. B. Montague, mayor, and all members of the council.

The Sun tells the following, pin t of whloh happeued at Albany: "A sing ular scene took place on the south bound train on the Southern Pncifln at a station In Marion county several days ago, A gentlemanly hop luspco tor boarded the train, and after heii'.j coniforti.hly seated, offered hisntllen book to the conductor, who was ar ranging to take off tlie mileage when another hop man snatched the bonk out of the conductor's hand and claimed it as hia property. It i peared thai both men were in tlie em ploy of Hurst Bros., of Sacramento, and are now drumming this state fur hops on onmmissiou. The abstractor of the mileage ticket evidently wus on top, as he made use of an unusual amount of expletives and statements derogatory to the other man. The name of this man was ascertained ti be Bnttams. Ho was attired in a suit of the regulation dude style, pants a In Anglatian and his mustache was curled several times. After awhile the dis charged man paid his fare to Albany, where both staid over night, the dis charged man golug quietly to bed; the dude doing the cocktail aot. J 11 Tues day evening, wheu the South-bound train arrived, another wordy war took place betwe'n the two. It appeals jealousy of position was the cause, and a falling market had contributed to the downfall of one of the employee. Go to Hiram Baker's fer your (1.50 men and Uilse' shoes.
