From High Government Authority, No authority of greater experience on food products ex ists than Dr. Henry A. Mott, of New York. Dr. Mott's wide experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Depart ment, gave hira exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself with the qualities and constituent parts cf baking powders. ' He understands thoroughly the comparative value of evefy brand in the market, and has from time to time expressed his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re examination and jalysis be finds Dr, pace's Cream Baking Powder superior to" all o in trenStl' alid efficisncy- Dr' Mott writes:- New York, March 20th, 1894.

Mrs. Livy McQueen departed this life Oct. 13, KM', at her residence four rniles east of Sweet Home. Deoeused was bora In Shelby county, Illinois, April 2d, 1848, and was aged 48 years, 6 months and 11 days at the time of her demise. 8he w as mnrried,to L.lvy McQueen in 1807, In thatcounlyi She and ber husband emigrated to Mis souri in 1889 and lived there 8 years. They removed from there Into Ohio aud lived there one year. They then emigrated to Oregon in I878and settled neur Sweet Home where she lived till the Saviour culleil her home. She united with the Baptist church when qnlte young and lived and died in the-! Christian fuilh. Bhe leaves to mourn ber loss a kind husband aud two foiib, aged 14 and 8 .years, and a number of other relatives " and tfarm friends. Bhe was a kind and affectionate wife and a loving' mother, and will he sadly missed by her family ami many friends. She bore her atllictlon with hardly a word of complaint and was patient to the last. For years she had been troubled with what was supposed to be phthisic, but was found, when too late to be dropsy. Everything that couhl be done In the way of medical aid and good nursing was done but proved of no avail. Tbo funeral was preached at the home by Elder Vanderpool, of Sodaville, Or., of the Baptist associa tion. The remains were followed to their last resting place in the Oillilatid grayeyurd l y the relatives and a large number of frieuds. One by one our friends and kindred are passing away. Let us hope when the summons comes we may all 1e prepared for that happy home above as i.ur departed friend and neighbor. A Frirnd. , The Jack-knife Issue. Tbe state papers have been advocat ing with a vengeuce economy for the Oregon legislature, and the Is'ewberg Graphic has the' following sensible remarks in regard to the jack-knife business: "To tile average member of the Oregon legislature it matters yery Jittle whether ' he is furnished with a penknife aud penwiper during the season or nor, "but "this hue and cry about the grent extravagance on the part of Uie Secretary ot State in furnishing these little conveniences and thus errtiiHing "heavy burdens" on the tax-payers is all rot. A biennial session of tbe legislature is supposed to be neccssury for the bust interests of the state, and the state ought U) be willing to give reasonable compensa tion for the time 1 nil efforts put forth by (he members. To a member who has businMa capacity suWcietit to carry on a business of his own, tho sum of $3 per day fr a forty days' session Is veiy meager pay for the time be is taken away from his business and the expense he is necessarily put to during the session.

Givo us a reBt on the jack-knife issue." Mr. Skipworlh Opposed to it, E. R. Skfpworl'i, a former Albany man, in an Interview In the Portland Sun, goes for tbe new salary law Uius lyi' E. R. Bkipworth, a well-known attorney, of Eugene, is in the city on professional business. Mr. Skipworlh ays tlierc is a great deal of dissatisfac tion among tho people of Lane and Douglas counties, In regard to the lale law, which allows the sheriff a salary Instead of a percentage." "Th. law is being generally dlscu.ssed," said he, "and the people are looking forward to a radical amendment, or a repeal of that law altogether. Under the 'pres ent' laws the sheriff's d-puties are ap pointed by the county court. I called at the sheriff's otlice Borne days since with some papers which I wished to have served at once. I was told by the sheriH'that his deputies were all busy, that there were several ahead of me, and that he could not attend to atouce. I told him my case was very important aud tendered him the money, telling him to get some oue to do it. No, I. cannot do that;" he said "If I should I would bo compelled to the money you pay me in to the county and pay tho man hired.out of my own pocket," Again Mr. Bkipworth said: "The sheriff's required to pay all traveling expenses, and when a prisoner escapes flout custody, many times he is not caught for the simple reason that the sheriff -does not wish Co pay out his money for traveling expenses, there being no inducement offered him' by tbe county tor the capture of crl initials. The late law has proven very unsatis factory, and there should be, some change made." Death of Ben Brenner. Mr Benj. Brenner, a" pioneer Ho bnwvJtixeir of Albany,' died suddenly at noon last Thursday of heart dis ease. He had gone out to the barn to look after the cow, and not returning for dinner, Mrs. Brenner went after him, but was startled to find hito lying upon the barn, floor. She cried for help and several neighbors, among them Dr. J. W. Watts, hastened foilie scene. The latter examined the body and pronounced hint dead from heart disease. He had been troubled with the disease for many years. The de ceased was aged about 61. He came to Albany from Bohemia In 1855. .He has lived lu this city and BrownsTill since that' time. He was a member of the I.O. 0. F. and A. 0. U. W. He leaves a wife and four children, be sides many friends to mourn hist ealh. -Herald. , . ft Mixed Marriage, Dr. King, of Adelaide, married a Miss Norrls. Shortly after the doctor's honeymoon, the doctor's Bon married a sister of the doctor's wife. Then a brother of the doctor's wife married thedoctor'sdaughter. In other words, the doutoi-s son booanie liia icp: mother's brother In-law, and the doc tor's daughter became her step-mot her's sister-in-law, The doctor, by marriage of his son to this sister of his wife, be came father-itirlaw to his sisler-ln-luw; aud the doctor's wile, by thc man iage of her sister to her step-son, boo-iime step-mother-in-law to her own sister By the marriage of the brother of. Ihe doctor's wife to the doctor's daughter, the doctor became father In-law to his brother-in-law, and the docto 's ife bccnaiie step-mother-ln law lo her own brother. The problem as to what relationship tho children of the ton- traetiug parties arc to each other re mains unsolved. No More Tribute. The Sclo Press says that the unfair tribute levied by I'ortlund commission houses upon produce consigned to them by country merchants, millers, farmers aud shippers of all classes has become proverbial. To avoid paying this tribute, S. M. Daniel, pt lhat city has concluded to maiutaln his own CiiunnMott house In that city, and to that end has leased a commodious liUildliiur In the vicinity uf Madison Street bridge, and will open the same this week. O.S.May will have charge of It. Several car'oadB of flour, outs, has, cliloketia, egits, elO. are eq roqttj and Messrs, Duulel and May went rfown VVediitsduv.

Tvbrhj $ FVir iHjtuM AwnHh OUR NEW INDUSTRY. Various Essential Oils to be Manu factured in Lebanon. The Morning Oregonlan of Novem ber the 10th, gave Lebanon's new enterprise tho following write up: Captain Gc,orge Pope relumed Sat urday from Lebanon, 'where the manufactory of the Oregon- Essential Oil Distillery Company Ib situated. Captain Pope Is president of the com pany, and Dr. J. A. Lambersnn Is geueral manager. This Is the coacern mentioned a few days dince as having lately commenced the manufacture of spit its of turpentine In tills auction. irom Captain Pope It is learned that tne company has been experimenting for three months, and has not only succeeded In successfully manufactur ing a first-class article of turpentine and all sorts of rosiu and pitch from the eap of the Douglas fir, but also make oil of cedar, oil of hemlock, oil of fir and oil of peppermint. Several varieties of the. peppermint abound in Oregon and the true mentha piperita grows in great luxuriance in an un cultivated state along the streams aud In moist places in Linn and Polk counties, and it was primarily on this account that the "still" was ereeted. The wild plant produces oil abundant ly, but it was considered best to culti vate the plant also, so arrangements haye been made with farmers to Bet out 100 acres of rojfs, which will partly be supplied from plants from Michigan and partly from the Oregoii stock. SarnpleB of tha oil manufactured from Oregon mint. Have been tested by competent Eastern druggists' and pronounced to be richer In menthol than even the Michigan oil. As to a maiket for Ihe product, Mr, Pope Bays that one Arm in Leipsic, Germany, use 110 tone of menthol per annum. Ihe members of the company got their first ideas in regard to the tur pentine business from a report of the secretary 0? agriculture for 1892.. There has always been a trade in balsam of fir, which is used for several purposes, but most eienalvely by pharmacists, but the supply' exceeded the demand. In the., rcuortf above mentioned they saw what was beiug done in the man ufacture of turpentine, rosin, etc., in all parts of Ihe world, and even in Ger many aud Austria they were tapping trees anil getting crude turpentine to moke resin for the brewers to tine beer barrels. The Idea was that by applying steam during the process of distillation the turpentine could be extracted from tbe fir balsam, and the rosin also saved. In the distillation of turpentine from tiie balsam a certain portion of ahbela ti ne Is left It, It. .This is removed hy redistillation and the applicat'on of a simple cleanser or olarifier, and their product has been submitted to experts, who haye pronounced It one of the very best for medicinal purposes, and painters of repute prefer it to the heat Imported -artce. The question of permanently engaging In the manu factum of turpentine now depends en tirely on how cheaply the sap can. be gathered from the fir trees. It Is to be hoped that this question can be satis factorily settled, and that the new Industry may thrive and prosper, and that the cultivation of peppermint may add another to the products of diversi fied farming. A Novel Stand Up. On Sunday' evening last, whllo the family of F. W. Llpshat, Hying about four uilles north of Hlllsboro, were sitting around the 'supper table after finishing their meal about seven o'clock, the dining-room was entered by two masked men with pistols In each hand. The men folks of the household were Blood up lu a row with face to Ihe wall and guarded by one of the villains while the other made Mrs, Llpschat march about the building opening trunks and possible coin de posits. From all, a bum aggregating $13 or U was got, At first, Llpschat made a show of resistance, hut was promptly struck In the mouth with a pistol, Tills quieted him, The other mull, too much frightened to promptly holdup, was struck oyer tbe head. The blow brought blood and pushed up the hands. The two boys, who had started to a neighbors, had been held up lu the yard and marched in the room by the robbers, so that all were together. Although the men were heavily masked, a finger ou the pistol trigger bore a peculiar scar, which was recognised its 'hat of a carpenter who had, a few days before, been worklngjoii Llpsoa('rioue, Chtap -Teachers, Tho'Oregon City Courier talks In manner that should I liitefellilg. to aiiiiio I.

These directors are, no doubt, honest In their Intentions and mean we". Their Idea Is to get a cheap teacher in ordir that tht money might last longer but forgetting the fact that a cheep teacher Is often the dearest. It Is far better for the ohildren of a district that they be Instructed for. Urn months by a capable teacher who loves his work than five months by a drone who does not care whether school , keeps or not. Among the teachers nt this county are talented men aud wo men not a few, who are conscientious iu the discharge of their duties, and hi many districts they are recogniad asT such, but they are unjustly placed in "' pecuniary competition .by directors with teachers with little or no quaiiii- cation, as though, if a five-dollar pony was branded with a certificate on hii flank, he would be capable of taking charge of a district school. Oregon- Turpentine. Recently tbe Express published 101 item of news concerning the establish-, mentofa turpentine factory at Leba non. It is conducted by Portland ami Lebanon citizens. Conerning it ihe Oregonlan says: Captain Geoiv,--. Pope, of this city, has inaugurated .1 new enterprise for this region the manufacture of turpentine, resin, ela The plant is located at Lebanon, Lion comity. The enterprise is hardly out of the experimental stage, but some turpentine has been made whi-b ex perts pronounce equal to any imporle,!, and several orders have been given for it by dealers here. There is no ques tion as to the Oregon pine furnishing any quantity of turpentine, for it was successfully manufactured here sonid 30 years since.' The only question l be solved Is whether il ean be prolit ably manufactured lu competition with colored laborers of the Houthem states. Sent a Coffin to Senator Hill. A cnfiln addressed to Senator David B. Hill, aire of Tammany ball, arrived in New York on the 9th by Adams Express, from Columbus, Ga.
