In the last year under the McKin­
ley tariff, labor found ready employ­
ment at higher wages than at any
time in the history of the countrv,
and a day s wages would buy more of
the necessaries or luxuries of life
than at any other period. By the
same standard of measurement there

currency under republican rule.

Chautauqua, when she was • there

caused by absence of Arthur Lambert.
Seven prisoners were taken to the

Grant’s Pass lost a half block of
business houses by fire Monday
night. The origin of the fire is un­
known.
H. W. Cottle has resigned as sec­
retary and manager of the State in­
surance company of Salem, on ac­
count of ill health.
It is reported that 275 students
are now in attendance at the Uni­

Collector Blackman figures out
that there are 300,000 packs of play­
ing cards in the northwest that will

is enforced.
A distillery for the manufacture of
fruit brandy was recently started
near Oswego by Daniel Montour.
This is said to be the only distillery
in the lower valley except a small
one at Butteville.
Mr. Finley of Benton county has a
prune crop valued at $3.000. It will
amount to about 70,000 pounds,
dried. The weight of fruit on his
Hungarian trees broke off many
branches, which he permitted that
he might graft the trees with Italian
slips. Under this process they will
bear Italian prunes in two years.
Finley thinks prunes can be raised
profitably at three cents per pound.
A. N. Wood, of Carlton, Yamhill
county, was brought before Justice
Hughes Monday on a warrant sworn
out bjr H. B. Luce, food and dairy
commissioner. Wood was charged
with selling adulterated lard, to
which he plead guilty, but claimed
that he was ignorant of the fact that
it was adulterated, having bought
it of some one else. As there was
not sufficient evidence to prove him
guilty on this point the action was
dismissed at his cost, amounting to
$19.10. Deputy prosecuting attorney
Adams prosecuted and Wood himself
defended. Under the statute any
vendor selling food articles that are
impure or adulterated is liable to a
fine whether he is ignorant of the
fact or not, but a judge is authorized
to use discretion where the vendor is
ignorant.— Forest Grove Times.

The sale of A. H. Pape was at­

The voters of school district No. 10

The rain that lias fallen is very ac­

A grand harvest ball was held in

evening of the 28th and an enjoyable

Several from this neighborhood

C andidates for state railroad com­

The best thing to do is to abolish the
commission and let them bob down
at their leisure. The legislature can
afford to assume enough responsibil­

least three cents a mile, and if it
should pass a maximum rate freight
bill it would be a step in the right
direction.
Little Rock, Ark., was visited by
a disastrous cyclone Tuesday. Four
persons were killed and about forty
injured. The damage to property is
estimated at a million dollars.
Connecticut election returns from
all but two of the 164 towns in the
