People 111 the vicinity oi McMinnville, ; Lafayette and Dayton are le<l to believe that there is to be an important change made in the operation of the Southern Pacific’s west side lines. By the con struction of a two-mile cutoff from Mc Minnville, through Lafayette, to connect with the direct line from Portland to Independence, trains could be run from McMinnville straight to Portland by a loute many miles shorter than the pres- ent line via Forest Grove. Recently a change has been made in the ordinances of Lafayette by which the railroad com pany is granted a right of way through the town. Rights of way for the two miles 01 proposed track have been secur ed. It is said the company intends to build the cutoff this year. I In the event of such a change in the I loute from McMinnville, it is said the company will construct a bridge across the Willamette river near Oregon City, 1 to do away with a trestle-work curve ' around a point ot rocks on the river where there is constant danger and ex ■ pense of maintenance. This would have I the.result of bringing all traffic of the Southern Pacific » west lines into Port- J land on the east side of the river, leav ing the Forest Grove line comparatively free for operation of gasoline cars.— Portland Journal.

The Farmers’ Advocate of Winnipeg. Canada, in a recent issue,called attention to a very peculiar state of affairs in the meat industry of that country. It seem* tliat the Canadian cured ham and bacon sells on the local Canadian markets for 17 to 19 rents, while the products of the big packers of this country Bring 25 cents, and those imported from Belfast and Wiltshire sell at 30 to 35 cents. Tin complaint is that the Canadian packers ought to wake up and charge mart money lor their products and, if pos.-ibh improve the quality a little, or, in other words, get up to date like their neigh hors in the states. Such talk as that certainly sounde st range to the ears of the American wIn for the last several reais ha» had experi cnee w ith high pi ice meat and has found to his sorrow that the relationship ex isting between the price paid for live stock ami that secured for the dressed meats is similar to forty-ninth cousins. If Canadians want high priced meal ami low priced live stock, which appnr entlv go together, all they need to do is to organize a beef trust and their desires will be gratified in very short order. Th' charge made bv a writer in the Farmers' Advocate that the Winnipeg packers arc behind the times would appear to be cor rect, for it they were not they would long since have had the duty on ham and bacon raised from 2 cents to 15 cents pct pound, advanced their prices according lv, lowered the quality of their goods and paid less for their hogs. That, in short, is the up to date method of con. ducting a business. Now that the Beef Trust in this conn tiy is being prosecuted it may be that Canada will look particularly inviting and in that event Winnipeg might get some packers who are not only up to date but actually ahead ol the times.

While it stems to be almost necessary to charge as small amount as anv other factory, and the least increase in the price of ma king has'a tendency to drive milk to other factories, this question should tie met. However, the mdications for the coming year all pointing to a higher price for cheese than «luring 1904, this, together with the milk promised the loctO' V for the ensuing year, will leave the factory in much better financial con dition than tor the past two years.

The tests were made for ex hibition purposes, in the presence oi representative men near Turin and else where in Italy.
