If you want to build np your own town patronize home indust- m. Don't merely talk that way, but practice it. . News from Alaska states that the Hy.ik Indian chief who shot Harry Mors, mate of the Francis Cutting, has committed suicide in the Juneau jail. The talk of a new state, to be formed from portions of Wisconsin t Minnesota and Michigan, will pro bably end in talk. It isn't such an easy matter tu divide states or form new ones ovt of old states. A labge nunjlier of people will come westward this year. Thin country can look for immigration and every quarter-section of land on which can be found 20 acres f lillab e land, will he appropriated to thrifty families. Simmeb made a sudden advent upon us this week, with but very little premonitory signs of its ap proach. A little visit in advance, like this, is not displeasing, but the country would prefer a month of spring rains yet Iue railroad commissioners, turough Mc Eddy, are going to have the courts to decide whether they can draw their salary or not Without the least animosity against the amiable gentlemen, The Express hopes they won't get a cent. The Myrtle Creek West Oregon iun understand!) that the Divelbiss Quartz Mining company, which erected the mill at Salmon, has commenced action against the dis covers of the rich mine for $18,000 damages, for not carrying out their coiuract and thus preventing the mill from runn-ug. Mukdeb is not confined to aoy particular place. The recent horri ble murder in Ban Francisco of the two girls, was ommitted in a church. Who would tbink of asso ciating the church with deeds of blood? Of all places in the world the church, in all its purity, is calculated to drive the thought of murder from the heart of man. The 16-year-old son of Mr, Keeney, residing three miles above Holly, on the Cabpooia, a few days ago ran upon an old cougar and three yearling cubs. The boy only had a 22-caliber rifle; but he faced the music, and before he was through with the cougars every one "bit the dust." Four in one day is a good record, and the bjr has the scalps to testify to his powers. ; - Rev. J. C. Bead, the preacher robber is to be sent to the aylum , at Salem. N'owud ;ys when a man commits a crime all he has to do is to play the insane act, and lo and behold, a jury of his peers, peri'aps as crazy as he, will believe the evidence introduced to prove insanity and sentence him to the asylum instead of to the peniteo- tiry. Were a single level headed judge to trp the case nine times out of ten the insanity dodge, would fail. Ex. One of the oldest pioneers in the state, if not the very oldest, is Mr. Taylor, of Sauvits' island, who came, up the Columbia in 1836. He is about 80 years of age, and has never appeared in the process ion on Pioneer day. He says the rea on is thut they have no flag dated far enough back for him, The society might get an 1836 flag, :id induce Mr. Taylor lo carry it in the procession on Pioneer day, Hi is still bale and hearty," end bis faculties well preserved. His" sons will not allow him, to do any work, and he spends most of bis time in reading, and tikes t num ber of newspapers, Pols Couuty ARNOLD MUST WEAKEN. IBs animated discussion going on between the Democratic State Central Committee and Surveyor- General Arnold is awakening great interest on the Pacific slope. Mr, Arnold was appointed by the pres ident at the urgent solicitation of the democrats of this state. He now refuses to recognise his party and indignantly rejects its reason able demands, claiming his right to retain whomsoever he wishes in the best paring positions of his department. Mr. Arnold has been writing several letters to the com mittee, and intimates that the victors have been generously re warded by hiB (Arnold's) appoint ment This is unique. Probably Mr. Arnold has been sufficiently rewarded and, if he can show that he is the party, then his claim, that the party has been sufficiently i e warded, will be proven. Until M. Arnold proves himself the party, the democrat) can claim but Blipht recognition in Arnold's ap pointment, for Arnold is evidently nodemocrat,but a rank mugwaump. His action is a reflection on his own qualifications, for he admits that the presence of this object imal republican is essential to the welfare of his office; and he insults the democrats of the state by thus insinuating that no deim crat can be found capable of filling this position. The presence of this republican may materially lessen r. Arnold's labors, but it in no way ligntens the labors of bis parly, but places upon it a greater burden. Ingratitude is an unpar donable sin, politically, and is al ways a mean disposition in any man. Mr. Arnold is certainly un grateful. He is a very small factor in the politics of his state, and he should not seek to appropriate all of the Iruits of his party's victory to accomplish which he contri butes but little, if any. It is a settled political dogma, that "to the , victor belongs . the . spoils." This is not a suitable doctrine to preach in Sunday School, where we are told to love our enemies, but politics h a horse of another color, where, of necessity, friends are alone rewarded, and enemies should not expect it Mr. Arnold should accede to the very reason able demand of his arty or he should resign. C. P. Huntington had to submit to the formality of an arrest. His legion of enemies may take a little comfort in that fact, though they need not allow their exultation to go to the extent of supposing the law will do him any material harm. We noticed in one of the Albany papers a tew days ago that the sheriff would soon publish the delinquent tax list for 1894. Be fore Sheriff McFeron does this we think he should get figures on the publication of this list from all the papers of the county and give it to the one that would do it the cheap est The price that was charged two year ago ws by far too large and we are satisfied that by letting it out by bids it can he done for at least one-half the price of two years ago. We think the sheriff owes this to bis constituents, and es pecially to the unfortunate who are on the delinquent list. (too Reward, tioo.

It may, according to the Philadelphia Kecord, be doubted whether the city could ever again be compelled to capitulate. The fall of Paris, as 1b well known, was not ac complished by the Herman siege bat teries, but the city was Btorved into submission. A recurrence of ouch an emergency ts supposed to have been made practically impossible by the de velopment of the art ot preserving and compressing a great variety of nutri tious foods into the smallest possible space. Thus, for example, forty thou sand rations of preserved vegetables can be placed hi a cubic space measur ing only forty indie each way, and millions of the rations, together with solid soups and preserved meats, are constantly kept ready for the eventual necessity of the military provisioning of Paris. An enormous stock of Hour and biscuits k always maintained by the war department, whilo the intro duction of compressed fodder and the silo system have facilitated the storage of sufficient food for the horses required by the cavalry as well as by the omni bus and street railway companies. One of the gravest causes of distress during the last siege of Paris was the scarcity and poor quality of milk. Such quan tities of this indispensable article bb could then be procured were worth their weight in gold, and the mortality among infants resulting from their de privation of thiB necessary food reached a frightful rate. In the next siego, however, milk will not only be plenti ful, but very good, thanks to Dr. Aute fage's process of "pasteurizing" milk, which has been adopted by the French government, and by which milk can he preserved almost indefinitely absolute ly pure and unaltered. Twenty years ago the art of preserv ing meat by means of cold storage was in its infancy, but the French govern ment has fully availed itself of every improvement thut has been made in this direction, and at the flint sign of impending danger the authorities would be prepared to store hundreds of thou sands of carcasses of beeves and mut ton. The military marazine? are al ways kept filled, but ut the approach of war the numerous warehouses and buildings which have been indicated for the purpose and prepared for the storage of provisions would be Imme diately brought into requisition, lly means of the Fixnry process dressed beef and other meats can he kept sweet and fresh for many months, and by new chemical methods the stor age rooms can be kept cool without the use of iee. In its ea-eful preparation for the dire emergency of hostile ov tack the Trench government seems to have overlooked nothing; even coal, wood, petroleum, chemicals anda thou sand other things have been provided in ample quantities. It seems almost impossible to believe that any future siege of Paris could be prolonged until the war department should have ex hausted its fabulous accumulations of provisions, which arc constantly main tained at their proper level by renewals of stock as fust as they are used up. "The best laid plans o' mice and men," however, "gang aft aglee." WAR BETWEtN MOTIVE POWERS. Cooaaetlent to Wltnest a Contest ifcttwMn Etaetriclty mill eieam. , Connecticut is destined to be the first state in which the buttle between steam and electricity will bo thorough ly tested, says the litica Observer, i'or many years the railroad business of that state has bceu controlled by whut is known as the Consolidated road. Lefrislation in the past has been very favorable to this corporation, and it has been impossible to build rival lines of steam railroad without the consent of the Consolidated nnd of course this consent was not to be secured. When trolley cars came into existence shrewd observers saw in them a possible means of finally accomplishing the downfall of the Consolidated, andosiheiraprove mcnts in the means of using and apply? ing electricity as a motive power were rapidly perfected the hopes of trolley line projectors grew. The result has been the securing of a large number of franchises for trolley lines, and ulready the most important towns along seventy-five miles of the Consolidated are united by lines of double track electric railways that permit of contin pauous ssnge. Jinny other franchises have been granted and appearances in dicate that through service may soon be secured between New York city and Hartford. It is an interesting battle, because it brings into competition two greirt forces, steam and electricity, which are donbtlcss destined to compete against each other In the future. It is also in teresting to note thut in all eases where the steam and trolley roads parallel each other in the Connecticut example, the trolley roads have proved to be the most popular. This is doubtless in a measure due to the fact tluit considera ble local prejudice has existed ajfuinst the monopoly controlling the steam roads, and wherever an opportunity presented itself to turn b isiness over to the trolleys it was done. A Bojal lljule t.jb. Near the principal entrance ot Os borne there Is a flower garden in which an immense myrtle bush is to be seen. This has been grown from a sprig which was taken out of the wedding bouquet of Empress Frederick in lias. It has been a rule at court that ot every royal marriaje at which bride or bridegroom woo a descendant of the queen some pieces of this myrtle havo been placed in the bride's wedding bouquet. The practice commenced wh.ip Princess Alice married Prince Couis of Uc&se at Osborne in U6i, and it lias been continued until the day when their daughter was uwriad to SMsasat at gtitsk LEBANON PRODUCE MARKET. tOlmliE! i fcmtr Week.
