A. MTEEI., Chairman. GRAHAM GLASS, Jr , Secretary. T iie democrats have not been slow to profit by the mistakes of the re publican congress, as evidenced by their Nebraska platform. Our tariff policy toward Porto Rico, and the “bimetalism” section of the financial bill each came in for a share of de nunciation, which is both eminently proper and to be expected from the other side. But these are consider ed by the enemy vulnerable points in the republican armor, and are rec ognized by the democrats as our weakest points. Therefore, all mis takes, if any have been made, should be remedied and their effects uproot ed entirely, and not covered up. No temporizing is wanted, and in this dangerous pastime the republican congress cannot afford to indulge. S ince the farmers of this valley are interesting themselves in the op portunities offered by the dairying industry, the report of the Albany co-operative creamery will have con siderable significance, when the Portland market quotations are con sidered—-5<K« 55 cents per roll for fancy creamery butter, and 30(a37A cents for dairy butter. The differ ence is in favor of creameries, which are able to manufacture butter at a lower cost than dairy butter can be made, and which product commands a much higher price. The farmer who is within reasonable distance of a creamery can sell milk to the insti tution, from which high-priced but- ter is manufactured quickly and cheaply. The Albany creamery, rep- resenting a capital of $5000, was built in 1895. Taking figures for 1899. it received the milk of 383 cows from 52 patrons, handled 1,075,580 pounds of milk and made a product from the sale of which it realized s 18,237.18, of which $14,450.19 net was returned to the 52 patrons in payment of the butter fat taken from the milk. The difference of $.3,767 represents cost of manufacture, transportation charges, interest on st< ck and amount laid aside each year to be applied towards taking up shares of stock outstanding.

The old earthworks of the two armies can still be traced for miles, while bullets anil fragments of shells are picked up after every heavy rain, and sold to tourists. The "cut-off" which Grant made is now- the main channel of the mighty Mississippi, and the three hundred foot channel in front of the city in war times is only a memory now. Vicksburg yet has the advantage of steamboat navigation, but only through the constant expedient of dredg ing the accumulations of mud from the river channel. Vicksburg, while still a city of big-hearted southern people, is one of the interesting ruins created by the civil war when the south appealed to the sword anil the decision was rendered against her. All of the suffering is but a memory now, The Oregon, Washington and Idaho delegates to the National Editorial Asso ciation arrived at New Orleans in ad vance of the other members of the asso ciation, and accordingly set out to meet the main party, which meeting took place at Jackson, Miss.

The Portland chamber of commerce, and iudividual members of the Oregon representation to the N. E. A., distributed literature in New Orleans which will not fail to bear good fruit for this section. In conversa tion with representative men from every section of the Union, I find that the Pacific coast, notably that of Oregon and Washington, is attracting attention. In stead of being the back door of the na tion, it is predicted that we will soon be considered at the front door, as soon as the commerce of the Pacific arrives at a more advanced stage of development. The moral remains, Oregon against the world. D. I. A. Political fur has been filing lately on account of a scrap engaged in by Senator Simon and Kx-Senator Mitchell, and the latter gentleman occupied a page in Sunday’s Oregonian in telling how tbe other fellows, and not him self, held up the legislature in 1897. It is apparent, however, that the main cause of the la mented legislature boldly hinged upon Mr. Mitchell’s attempt to retain popu larity and gain political success by court ing both the gold standard republican platform and the free silver pepulist wing of democracy. Neither party had confidence in him. and he fell, carrying the legislature down with the wreck. Rar Docket. For the March term of circuit court, department No. 1, George H.
