I STATE AND COAST. Clipped from our Exchanges Throughout the West. The Coqullle creamery last year paid out to patrons $H,335.!)9, Fifty cars for the Beaver Hill mine wore recently built at Murshfleld. Edward Davis, an Oakland, Calif., clergyman, saya christians can dance and play bean poker without barm. C. S. Clark has sold the North Yamhill Record to iwo young men of North Yamhill, named Estes and Fryer. In Lewis county, Wash., contracts have been made for fully $30,000 worth of logs, and new logging camps are be ing started up. About a !'o7,en bop contracts for the orop of 1807 were filed for record in Yamhill county last week. The average price to be paid is 8 cents. J. H, Jaitkson Ib the owner of the only herd of Pekinf China hogs in the state, and proposes to exterminate the breed, say The Dalles Times-Mountaineer. He bought them of James Fulton last week, and intends killing them as soon as they are fattened. Within the last week a strange epi demic is said to have struck the horses near Spokane, and it is difficult to find out what remedy is required to perfect a cure. It may become wide spread and cause great financial loss and iiiconveiileni lo the farmers. A fire originating from a coal oil stove came near destroying the office of D. B. K. Bulck, in Roseburg, last week. The flames were partially smothered with the matting on the floor, and the stove was pitched out side so promptly that the damage was not great. Tbe old Lane blacksand mine, at Randolph In Coos county, will soon he in active operation again, says the Coos Bay News. Twenty years ago the Lane mine employed a number of miners al good wages, and Randolph, which has feltice become a deserted village, was then a lively little town. Coal mining is promising to become an important Industry in Arizona. In the northern part of the territory extensive bodies of bituminous coal are encountered north and east of the Painted Desert region. Tliis coal crops out in many places and at one point has a thickness of twenty-three feet. The following notice, with 14 signa tures to it, appeared in a Roseburg paper: "We, the undersigned legal voters of tbe county, do hereby give notice to all owners of dogs used for running deer lu and about the district known as Soutt's valley, that we will from now ou shoot all dogs which we may discover running deer In or about the said Scott's valley." Tbe Oorvnllls Times says that Dead river is the name of a slough that cuts across from one part of the Willamette river to another, among the islands near Booneville, and In the years gone by there was a rapid current from west to east. Of late the water became slug gish In Its movement, and a year ago ceased to move at all. This winter it runs quite rapidly from east to west. During the year of 1896, the firm of Jewell & Dodge, of Grant's Pass, alone shipped Sti3.875.7fi in gold dust to the mint. There are several firms lu that clly that ship gold dust, and the bank also buys a large quantity of it forshipmeut. The largest lota, how ever, that are taken out of the big mines are sent direct to the mint. The aggregate for Josephine county will easily reach $500,000, and will be larger in 1897. A French soldier, in uniform, at tracted much attention to himself ill Grants Pass last week. He deserted at Madagascar ou a ship bound for Aus tralia, and two British officers paid his way to 8au Francisco, whence he tried the American plan of beating his way on trains to The Dalles, where he has a friend, scys the Grants Pass Courier. He could not talk English, and would have been in a bad way, bad he found no other Frenchmen in Grants Pass. The Importation into Benton county of seed wheat, made necessary by the November freeze, has begun. Last week tlie Corvallis mills received, via the steamer Until, 2,000 bushels, which Is to be distributed among neighboring farmers, tbe greater portion of it being already engaged, The wheat reoelved was grown in eastern Washington, and Is of the blue-stem variety, the highest priced wheat in the market. A bushel of the seed wheat is given in exchange lor a bushel of export wheat, 15 cents extra for transportation and a promlte to store the oomitig year's crop at the dtorvallb uillU. A silver palace," a building cover ed with rolled silver, will be oni of the attractions at the Trans-Mississippi exposition to open in Omaha In June and continue until November, 181)8. Over 300,0110 feet of external surface is to be covered with the precious metal. The building will be used entirely for the display of the mineral products and the progress of "the great West." The silver to be used In covering the building will lie contributed by the miners of tlie great West. Sherman county is again without a saloon. When an attempt was made recently to have a saloon, Miss Mag gie Eaton, of the W. C. T. U., took her horses and carriage, and with another white-rbboner, drove' 55 miles In one day, and opened 45 gates, and the next day, taking another woman, drove 45 miles and opened 30 gates; making 100 miles in two days, and the opening and closing of 75 gates. By doing this thejt found men employed on their farms and secured a majority of the signatures of the voters, and so saved the county from a saloon, says the Wasco News. One of the old landmarks of The Dalles was removed one day last week. Jim Wesley, an Indian, who has been in and about The Dalles since the early pioneer days, passed over to the happy bunting ground. He had at tended a dance in the Indian village, the night previous, and returned to his cabin and retired about 5 o'clock. Within an hour he was dead, death baving come upon him suddenly, though without any apparent cause. Jim was a good, honest Indian, had al ways been a staunch friend of the whites, and was a perfect encyclopedia of information concerning tbe early history of The Dalles. He left a widow and four children. Hop dealers iu McMinnville are of the opinion, after a careful canvass of the Held, that not more than 10 per cent of tlie yards of Oregon have been plowed up. The higher prices prevail ing during the latter part of the hop seasou stimulated the growers to such an extent that every yard that was left tiupicked last year, and which was in tended for destruction, will be culti vated. This will have an effect on next year's prices, undoubtedly, as, in the opinion of hop men, at least 40 per cent ot the hop acreage of Oregon would have to be destroyed before the market would be affected sufficiently throughout tlie United Stales to make a boom iu the price of American hops. Gen. Harrison's Literary Work. The success of ex-President Harrt- 8on s articles lu the Ladies' Home Journal has been so pronounced that three additional ones will he given. These are li kely to prove the most in teresting of all that Geueral Harrison has written, in the sense that they will be more personal. His first paper will show what "A Day Witli the President at His Desk" menus, giving glimpses of the President in his private office. His second article will deal with "The Social Life of the President," which will cover the President's obligatory social duties and his part in great State functions. The last article will go into the President's domestic life and portray "The Domestic Side of the White House." All these articles will be specially illustrated. This will be the first time that an ex-President of the United Slates has ever written of his office and of his home. The articles will a! 1 appear in early issues of The Ladies' Home Journal. Shooting Affray Near Corvallis. A shooting affray occurred Friday morning at the Kiger farm, near Cor vallis, between Jack Irwin, an em ploye ou tlie farm, nud Ed Thayer, well known ia Corvallis. After some words, Thayer drew a revolver on Irwin, who ran into the house and returned with a shotgun and revolver. He ordered Thayer to put up his re volver. Thayer pointed tlie revolver directly at Irwin, who fired his shot gun. Thayer returned the Are. Both then fired a number of shots, with no result, except a slight wound lp the calf of Irwin's leg. Irwiu made com plaint against Thayer in Justice Car lisle's court. On hearing the testi mony, which was not contradictory, botb parties were bound over ill the sum of $800 each. The ownership of a bantam hen is s;iid to have been the immediate cauxe of tlie shooting, It's lu town.

Siftim Tabulai sure had breath. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report (fet ABSOLUTELY PURE No Money Required, It takes money to run a newspaper. St. John (Kansas) News. What an exaggeration ; what a whop per. It has been disproved a thousand times; it is a clean case of airy fancy. It doesn't take money to run a news paper. It can run without money. It is a charitable institution, a begging concern, a highway robber. B'Godfory, a newspaper is the child of the air, a creature of a dream. It can irn on and on and on, when any other concern would be In the hands of a receiver and wound up with cobwebs in the windows, It takes wind to run a newspaper; it takes gall to run a newspaper. It takes a scintillating, acrobatio imagination, and a half dozen white shirts and a railroad pass to run a newspaper. But money heavens to Betsy and six hands round, whoever needed money in conducting a newspaper! Kind words are the medium of exchange that do the business for the editor Kind words and church social tickets. When you see an editor with money, watch him. He'll be paying his bills and disgracing his profession. Never give money to an editor. Make him trade it out. He likes to swap. Then when you die, after having stood around for years and sneered at the editor and his little jim crow pa per, be sure and have your wife send in for three extra copies by one of your weeping children, and when f he reads the generous and touching notice about you, forewarn her to neglect to send 15 cents to the editor. It would overwhelm him, Money is a corrupt thiug. The editor knows it mid what he wants Is your heartfelt thanks. Then he can thank the printers and they can thank their grocers. Take your job work to the job offices and then come and ask for half rates for the church notices. Get your lodge letter beads and stationery printed out of town, and then flood the editor with beautiful thoughts in resolutions of respect and card of thanks. They make such spicy reading, and when you pick it up filled with those mortu ary articles, you are so proud of your little paper! But money scorn the filthy thing. Don't let the pure, innocent editor know anything about it. Keep that for sordid trades people who cht-rge for their wares. The editor givos his bounty away. Tbe Lord loves a cheer ful giver. He'll take care of the editor. Don't worry about the editor. He has a charter from the state to act as door mat for tlie community. He will get the paper out somehow; and stand up for tlie town and whoop It up for you when you run for office, and lie about your pigeon-toe daughter's tacky wed ding, and blow about your big-footed sons, when they get a $4 a week job, and weep over your shrivelled soul when it is released from your grasping body, and a smile at your giddy wife's second marriage. Don't worry about the editor: he'll get on. The Lord knows how but somehow. Emporia Gazette. N.B, When you have a long com. uiunication to be published In the local paper, always remember to wait until the day tlie paper is printed before you bring tlie "copy" to the office. It is so pleasing to the editor and the printers to be imposed upon by being crowded with work ou "press-day.': Measure your rooms accurately and bring size lu feet and inches with you.

Baiting Tennessee Happenings. BY THOS. M'KNIGHT, ALTA8 CVESAR. Miss Grace Myers has been seriously ill for some time. Mr. and Mrs. C. N. McKuight, of Tallman, spent Saturday and Sunday In Tennessee. Sherman Wallace, who has been at tending school at McMinnville college, has entered the ministry. Tennessee nM material for any kind of public worn, ui,u tins is just one or tne many cases. Tennessee has been widely published and is known even by many, from the wilds of the roaring Columbia, west to Idaho and south to the pleasant orange groves ot California, and with all of that some have formed the wrong opinion of this place. Instead of being a jungle of roaring savages, It Is a pleasant little neighborhood, with many very prominent persons within its boundaries. As public workers, we possess the following qualifications: School teachers, 9, and 10 who will be, in tlie near future; newspaper cor respondents, 3; doctors, 2; mechanics, 6; agriculturalists, 31; federal office holders, 1 ; bookkeepers, 3; divine min isters, 1; music teachers, vocal and instrumental, 2; blacksmiths, 2; sur veyors, 1; machine companies, 2. Miss Annie Blacklaw has just fin ished a successful term of school in this district. On the last day there was a debate by the scholars, Thoe. McKnightand Bert Blacklaw leading, the former winning. Miss Blacklaw deserves the praise of everyone for her good work toward the upbuilding of this neighborhood. She, as a leader, has successfully conducted many so cials and entertainments, and by this means has entirely cancelled the debt which rested on the organ and other furniture of the school house not more than eight months ago. By her kind ness and hospitality to all, she has won the confidence of every one. She will be the teacher of the Tennessee school for the coming spring term. A Clubbing Offer.
