ABSOLUTELY PURE

Mr. Victor Has Written Histories of Five
Western 'States. '-'-
Oregon reoognizes the literary genius
and ability of 'women in the selection of
Mrs. Frances
Fuller Victor as
the state's histo
rian. , At its last
session the legis
lature passed an
act authorizing
the seorotary of
state to appoint
some one to write
the "History of
the Early Indian
Wars of Oregon."
and Mrs. Viotor
was named for
this 'work. The

writing, but Mrs. .Victor seems to pos
sess a peculiar gift in this direction.
Mrs. Victor has accomplished much
in literature and has written a number
of important historical works. Among
her best known books are "Atlantis
Arisen." which deals with the nhvsical
leatures or tne nonnwestern country, in
terspersed with anecdotes, and "The
River of the West," containing early
annals of that region''where rolls the
Oregon" and an account of the opeia
tions of the fur companies. Her labors
in the Bancroft library covered a period
of 11 years, from 1878 to 1889, during
which time she produced exclusively
histories of Colorado, Nevada, Washing
ton, Wyoming and Oregon. She com
piled all the political history in vol
umes' 6 and 7 of Bancroft's Califor
nia series and also the railroad history.
She has likewise written a valuable and
practical work on "Transportation and
IVTinincf. " ; '
Mrs. Victor is a native of New York
state, but went to Ohio when young.
She began her literary career as a con
' tributor of prase and verse to various
eastern periodicals. In 1865 she married
Mr. Victor, a naval officer, and with
him went to the Pacific coast, where she
became identified with California jour
nalism. She contributed to San Fran
cisco and Chicago nublioations stories
and sketches, which she gave a western
coloring. She now -lives in Oregon.

HIDEOUS WASTE OF MONEY.
iMtimonials For the Czar's Funeral That
' Were Costly and Useless. ...
There has certainly been a hideous
waste of money in providing official tes
timonials of sorrow for the czar's fu
neral. The queen's wreath, which was
of ''enormous size," was sent from
Windsor to St. Petersburg in charge of
Lord Carrington, the expenses of whose
mission will have to be paid by the for
eign office. The German emperor's
wreath, which was ten feet in diameter,
required a speoial railway wagon to
transport it from Berlin to St. Peters
burg. The Emperor Francis Joseph sent
a wreath eight feet long, which had
beeu constructed by 80 florists. The bier
was surrounded by many hundreds of
"massive silver floral crowns" from the
towns and villages of Russia, some of
which had cost upward of 2,000.
It would be interesting to learn who
profits by all this lavish extravagance,
for it is quite certain that every artiole
of any value which is sent on such an
occasion ultimately becomes the per
quisite of some court functionary, and
the individual who takes the spoil at
this function will be able to retire at
once with a considerable fortune. Then
2,600,000 rubles have been squandered
in decorating publio bnildings, and it
is a very queer commentary on the al
leged outburst of national woe that the
superintendent of an important railway
terminus at St. Petersburg was sent to
prison for seven days because his sta
tion was not in sufficiently deep mourn
ing. It may be hoped that on the next
occasion of an imperial or royal funeral
there will be a notification that flowers
and wreaths are not to be sent Lon

'.- ROYAL SPORTS.
Cruelties, Miscalled Hunting, With the
Master of the Buckhonnds.
Over a year ago Queen Victoria gave
a promise which was justifiably con
strued into an assurance that the prac
tice of hunting tame deer in her name
should cease, and preparations were, in
fact, made to abolish the anoient insti
tution known as the royal buckhonnds.
It ia now alleged that the queen merely
promised to have inquiries made, and
that the result thereof satisfied her that
the sport involved no more cruelty to
animals than fox huntting. The result
is that tame deer harrying, miscalled
hunting, is again in full swing, and the
newspapers are reoording, as of old, the
suffering inflicted by royal and aristo
crats sportsmen wearing the queen's
uniform. ...
Already this season several . of these
hand, reared stags have been so badly
torn by the hounds that they had to be
killed. The scandal is by no means' a
new one, for quite 50 years ago a letter
appeared in The Times describing how
the queen's buokhounds hunted a stag
down Piccadilly, and how the poor ani
mal had worn the pads off its hoofs and
left a trail of blood behind. Tender
hearted politicians, Tories as well as
Liberals, regularly threaten to refuse to
vote a salary for the master of the buck
hounds when the estimates come before
the house of commons, but invariably
sooial influence or party pressure or both
are brought to bear upon them, with the
result that they manage to have engage
ments elsewhere when the house goes
into committee on the supply. London

OUR AMERICAN SUGAR
It Should Be Used in Prefer
ence to China's Product.
ENCOURAGE HOME IKDUSTEIES
Every American Shoula Demand the
Native Product and See That
. 'He Gets It. ' ,
. It is a singular thing that, while the
inhabitants of the United States are a
most prosperous people and consume
more of both the necessities and lux
uries of life, generally speaking, they
are behind the English in the consump
tion of sugar. ,
In 1890-91 the sugar used in the
United Kingdom was an amount equal
to. 781 Ir2 pounds per capita, while
the figures show an average consump
tion in the United States of only
691 1-3 pounds per capita.
What the reasons are for this great
difference have puzzled many persons,
and we must look carefully for them if
we are to find the causes. .-.
American morkmen receive more pay
than the laborers of any other country,
and as a rule have the money to obtain
for their table everything wanted. It
seems fair to ' assume the older the
country and civilization the more care'
fully are the questions of household
economy and hygiene studied," and if
this is true why can we not argue from
the premise stated that we have failed
to a great degree in ,discovering the
wholesomeness and the economy of
using large amounts of sugar? .
Looking at this question frqm the
national side we see some reasons why
we should be heavy . oonsumers of
sweets and again we see that we are
obliged to buy most of the sugar we
use from other countries, and we owe
it to ourselves to carefully consider
what we as individuals can do to stim
ulate the sugar producing and sugar
manufapturing and sugar consuming
industries of our oountries.
The United States sent out of the
country in 1893 the enormous sum of
$116,000,000 for sugar, and this amount
if it only could have been retained at
home would have done much to make
this country prosperous and would
have been a great help during the
awful panic of the last two years. The
policy of the United States has been
very clearly determined po be of pro
tection to home industry and home
manufactures, and whether we con
sider the recent tariff laws as wise or
unwise the fact remains that they are
unpopular and do not fill the bill.
The question of protection is popular
and if the voioe of the people is the
voice of wisdom we may all be pardon
ed for the maintenance of those opin
ions which will help to shape the dr
mestio and foreign polioies of the
United States for the ensuing genera
tions. : -, ' -"
If it were necessary that we should
buy a staple like sugar abroad in order
that we might sell our surplus of other
products we might perhaps as well buy
sugar as anything else, but this is not
the case. We can sell our products at
the world's price,' and that is what we
do always when we export; ' if we can
take back coin instead of other prod
ucts that under the right conditions we
can raise at home we are so much the
better off and the imports of money
will assist us in maintaining our cur
rency without having -to pay such
prices for our credit as we have recent
ly paid.
Again we come to ; the question of
practical importance: How can you as
a citizen do anything to promote the
objects the country desires to obtain?
In the first place, what kind of
sugar do you consume yourself?
Charity and wisdom begin, or should
begin, at home.
If you buy sugar, do you ever in
quire as to whether yon are getting
that of domestio production or manu
facture? If you do not yon have neg
lected your duty .as an American citi
zen and yon should remove the beam
of carelessness from your own eye be
fore you censure your representatives
and senators for overlooking some
things that might promote the welfare
of your country. 1 . ,
It is true that we not only import
immense quantities of raw sugar, but
on the Pacifio ooast a pernicious trade
has reoently sprung up in the manu
factured sugar of China, many retail
grocers handling it surreptitiously.
Think of it, in a section of the
United States as sparsely capitalized as
the West coast, actually sending ics
money to a notoriously cheap labor
country for an article of household
consumption which is" refined and pro
duced at home. ,.....'
Of what nse are such legislative en
actments as the Chinese exclusion act
if our people, the very ones who were
most olamorous for ' the prevention of
the competition of cheap labor, are go
ing to suffer their hard earned coin to
be sent to China for sugar refined
there? :;' ' . :
The idea that the price of sugar is
kept at its present low figures on the
Pacifio coast by the importation of
Hong Kong sugar , is an erroneous one,
for whenever the American refineries
advance the Cfiinese importers have in
variably followed. ,.' If American gran
ulated sugar was selling at say nine
cents today the price of foreign would
be about the same. The truth is that
supply and demand makes the world's
market on sugar as it does on ; wheat
and other great staples, and when the
New York and London markets ad
vance or decline the price of all sugars,
either American or . Chinese, is im
mediately affected. : , ....
: Ask your dealer for American-made
sugar and do not be afraid to ask him
if he handles the Chinese goods, and if
be does read him a lecture on his poli
tics and morals, and yon will have ful
filled part of you duty as a citizen.
Many leading stores now display Bigns,
We Handle the American Kenned
Sugars Only." .
From a hygienic standpoint it should
be remembered oholera is now raging
in the Orient. San Francisco's board
of health has determined to take every
precaution to prevent the disease from
obtaining a foot-hold m that oity, and
to that end Chinatown will be subject
ed to a rigid examination. The phy
sicians composing the board consider
that if by any chance cholera should
gain a foothold in that oity it would
make its appearance in the Chinese
quarter, where the crowded condition
of the narrow streets and the illy-ventilated
houses have provided a material
breeding place for the plague. 1
All the sugar that comes to the
Northwest is from Hong Kong, an in
fected port,- and is handled by coolies
there probably close to the cholera pa
tients. A well-known manufacturer
and agent in the Orient says:
"Every package of merchandise,
sugar, silk, etc. , should be thoroughly
fumigated and the cholera germs, if
any, thus eradicated. Think of Amer
icans using sugars and silks handled
and worked upon by natives who re
ceive 12 cents a day for their labor and
live in squalor and dirt with pestilence
and disease raging near by."
The sugar business of this country
is largely in the hands of a great com
bination,' but the reason for 'this is
that the policy of onr legislators has
been so parsimonious that instead 'of
building up the small factories ; for the
manufacture of beet sugar, the bounty
has been withdrawn and , our people
have been discouraged in working up
the industry.
Time will ootne when in every state
there will be refineries and no section
of the world can produce better beets
than Oregon and Washington. If,
therefore, you wish to live to see the
dawn of that day when the millions
spent for sugar will be kept at home
begin as you are now advised to do
and buy American sugar and enoour
age those' who are waiting . for the
proper opening to appear . when they
can engage in the production and man
ufacture of domestio sugar.
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
get her, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a con'
stitutionai disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken internally
