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.

relative to my trip to the so-called "sun

very much on the side of the old relia

Contrasted with the arid plains and un
certain Crops of California, the change
able and uncertain climate of the Gulf
states, and the burning sands of Arizona,
there is a vast difference. 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

considered at the front door, as soon as
the commerce of the Pacific arrives at a
