T. S. Townsend. an experienced
creamery man of Portland, proposes to
establish such a manufactory in this
community, provided the farmers with
in, a radius of twelve or fourteen miles
of Salem will pledge the regular delivery
of, the required Quantity of cream for
the operation of the olant. Mr. Town
send asks iar no subsidy and will even
arrange for the transportation and de
livery of what cream may te subscrib
ed. M : , . .: . .. ' j. , j'
Mr. Townsend owns and operates a
cheese factory at Tillamook, also one
at , Hood River, and conducts
two .butter creameries, one of
which is located on the Nehalcm. while
the other is in Astoria. Mr. Townsend.'
iiccompanitd by : C. M. ESspass, A
Washougal, Washington, being agent
for the ; Moody-Sharpie system im
proved creamery machinery, arrived in
Salem yesterday morning and during
their stay in the i.citv scent the time
very industriously. 1 The gentlemen
formed the acquaintance of Henry B.
Thielsen. secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce. who escorted them about
the city and presented them to many of
the prominent and influential citizens
who gave the promoters of the scheme
much encouragement
The plant will be established here
when the delivery of the required
amount of cream shall be oledged by the
farmers. The auestion of whether or
not this much needed institution shall
be secured for Salem, . rests entirely
with the farmers, residing in the vicin
ity of this city, who are' most vitally
concerned in the matter. The capacity
of the plant; will be" as great as the
guaranteed, supply of cream will war
rant. In event the creamery is located
here. Mr. Townsend will utilize both
boat and rail for the tranvrtation of
cream to this citv.
C H. Markham. general passenger
agent for the Southern Pacific Com
pany assures Secretary Thielsen, that
company will do everything in its power
to assist in furthering the interests of
the Willamette valley farmers.- He says
a nominal freight rate will be made for
the transportation of cream by rail and
that in event the creamery is establish
ed here, if farmers desire to purchase
more cows from other sections of the
valley to be used in connection with the
dairy industry, the necessary, transport
ation of such animals will be furnished
absolutely free of cost- This is a re
markable concession on the part of the
company. '
Mr. Townsend claims that the Will
amette valley is better adapted to suc
cessful dairying and butter making than
any other section of the state, not ex
cepting the celebrated Tillamook coun
try. He maintains there is no better
field for a creamery than Salem, and he
is especially anxious to fill that field.
Farmers residing on both sides of the
Willamette river and within a radius of
twelve or fourteen miles of Salem, are
requested to call upon or communicate
with Secretary Thielsen. of the Cham
ber of Commerce, immediately, and
notify him of the amount of cream they
can furnish. No time .should be lost
but early action should be taken and
the creamery positively secured for Sa
lem.
'Mr. Townsend will attend the Farm
ers Congress in this city, on the 7th
and 8th of February, by which time .it
is hoped the .necessary amount jof
cream will have, been subscribed. ,!
Secretary Thielsen and other mem
bers of the Chamber are . enthusiastic
over the proiect and will work earnest
ly to get the farmers aroused to a real
ization of the imoortance of the situation
and secure for -Salem the location of
the creamery.
CARBOLINEUM AVENARIUS.
The most radical remedy against
chicken lice and the toeat wood-preserving
paint is Carbolineum Avenari
ous, manufactured: in Germany only.
The farmers aU over the 1 country
count amongst their heaviest expenses
to run the farm, the 'lumber bill. All
are undoubtedly Interested to learn of
a-medium to reduce the same at least
tt half its former cost. This medium
is Carbolineum Avenarlous, a wood
preserving paint based on 25 years ex
perience. Many are of the opinion that
paint, tar and lln?eed oil Will preserve
the wood against rot and decay. These
coatings only form an air-tight cover,
but do not destroy the albumlnura
parts of the wood, . which always start
the rot. The coatings with above men
tioned materials prevent the evapora
tion of the wood and the -consequence
Is dry rot. Carbolineum Avenarius, oa
the contrary, penetrates deeply into
the wood and destroys mlLjiresent de
cay matters. The Carbolineum Avena
rius is applied with a brush and Im
parts a nice nut brown color to the
wood. It is used on the farm for paint
ing barns, granaries, shingles, alios
posts, bridges, chicken coops etc and
all woodwork above and below the
ground. Carbolineum Avenarius is al
so the most radical remedy against
chicken lice. If you want plenty f
eggs and healthy chickens, the chick
ens must be free from lice and tnitea.
Carboilneum Avenarius will keep your
henhouse free from this plague. One
coat appllpd to the Ijsidt of the chick
en coop will keep It clean from vermin.
Kerosening and whitewashing, which
has ' to be repeated every month. Is
done awsy with and expenses for sul
phur and insect powder are saved.
Whoever dislres further information
about Carbolineum Avenarius anouia

That Bit Artlcls. Published Last
3 Fall, BrnMSttcd Ongoa Producers-
Was Misinformed. 1
;In .yesterday's Statesman there ap
peared a: letter,, signed by "Grower,'
in which' the writer called attention to
what he called insincerity op the part
of L. R. Searles. the local hop dealer,
regarding his statements, about the
Oregon hops. Accompanying the let
ter was an article, alleged to have been
written by - Mr. Searles last fail,- and
published in the Western Brewer, of
Chicago, .a lournai conducted in the
interest I of . the brewers' trade. This
article, at was made to aooear, differed
materially in its statements from Mr.'
Searlesl letter in the ; Statesman of the
24th inst. Yesterday the following let
ter was! received by the Statesman, in
reply to. the letter of Grower, and it is
seu-expianatory:
fcdiEoT btatesman: In ; your
issue jof the 25th inst;. ap
pears a letter signed 'Grower,' but
evidently written bv a hoo dealer, Who
is ashamed to sign his own name but
must hide under a nom de plume, in
which he charges me with insincerity
in my letter to you of th 23rd inst.,
as compared with the article written by
me and published in the December 15
1800. issue of The Western Brewer, of
Chicago. Illinois. j - .

article in question as it most assuredly
proves fny sincerity toward the Oregon
ft-rowers of hoos. -when f 1 have publish
ed in the journal of the consumers of
hops, an article which could be only
of benefit to the Oregon hop growers.
and did benefit them bv reason of the
large business that ; has taken - place
since the article in-auestion was writ
ten; thej sincerity ofypur correspondent
would be much better, if he were to
sign his own name to-his communica
tion, instead of hiding behind the name
of "Grower." ; -
"My (letter to vou of the 23rd inst.,
was written in a soirit of fajrness to
everybody concerned in the hop busi
ness in the. state of Oregon,. and while
I was informed that the association did
not sell! the S. J. Kerr lot of 69 bales
of hopsi Mr. Winstanley's statement,
that they did make the sale in question,
is sufficient for me to change my state
ment as to sales, and I should have
said that the Association has only sold
60 bales of hoos in all. "
In regard to the crop estimate,- this
is ; purely conjecture on the part of
everybody and. until the end of the
season, no definite figures can be ob
tained, but that opinions differ is evi
denced
bv the fact that some dealers
even. estimate the 1800 Oreeon crop as
high as! 00.000 bales, while nobody, ex
cept the Oregon Hop Growers Asso
ciation, estimates it as low as 05,000
bales.

Little ljfesticca. Tillamook county, of
old age Sne was born November 15,
iBpo. in North Carolina. When quite
young she removed to Tennessee and
iri a short time moved to Arkansas,
where she lived until : she grew to wo
manhood. In 1837 she was married to
Samuel Penter. In about the year 1842
she moved to Missouri.; In the spring
of 1843 she, with her family and in
company with her father. T. D. Kaiser,
crossed the plains with an ox team.
After i suffering many hardships, in
six months they landed at Oregon City.
Shortly; after they went to Yamhill
county, and, this not being .unsettled,
moved o what is now Salem, with her
husband. , Here they took up a dona
tion land claim in what is now known
as Highland. North Sa5em. Here she
lived until i88t when she moved to
Lit tie Nestucca. Her health broke
down, and in 1888 she moved back to
Salem.' I In 1893 she 1 moved back to
Tillamook county, where she resided
until the end came, as stated above.
vMrs. Renter had the honor of being
the first! white woman to arrive at The
Dalles in a wagon. Tie company here
abandoned their; teams, and. with un
told suffering, proceeded down the Col
umbia river in small boats. It rained
almost very day until they arrived at
Oregon City, which took about three
weeks. In her early 'life she became
a convert to the M.j. E. church, and en
joyed a: devout life to the end. Mrs.

Roberts
Excluded by I Congress,
a Decided ;Vote. ,
by
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The case
of Brigham H. Roberts, the Mormon
representative-elect ! from Utah, which
has occupied so much of the attention
of ; the house since the assembling of
congress, was decided today by - the
adoption of the resolution ; to exclude
him by a votej of 278 to 50.
The amendment io expel Roberts
without seating him, offered by Lacey.
was ruled out on a point of order, and
the house . only voted on -the resolu
tions of i the majority land minority of
the committee. The latter to seat
and then expel Roberts was defeated
by a vote of 81 to 244. An analysis of
this vote shows that; 170 republicans,
seventy-two democrats and two popt.
lists " voted against, it and seventy-one
democrats, six republicans, two popu
lists and two silver republicans for it.
The majority resolutions to . ex.
elude Roberts and declare his seat va
cant were adopted,- 27 to so. The
affirmative' vote was divided as follows:
Republicans 168, democrats 90, popu
lists 4. and the negative vote, demo
crats 47, silver republicans 2, populists
I.---.-- :i- rv.. j'-: '
I Koberts was present througnout tne
day and left the hall afier the result
of the last vote had been announced,
As he did so he gave out a statement,
justifying his retention of hu plural
wives, on the ground that his' moral
obligation was more; binding upon his
conscience than the technical obedience
to statutory laws, and saying -that there
was little excuse for! the .extraordinary
efforts, made to crush a system already
abandoned and practically dead. He
said he was a martyr to a "spasm of
prejudice." He would not, he said, at
tempt to run for congress agaia. al
though he would go back home with
a light heart, confident of the future.
Representatives Tongue and Moody,
of Oregon, and Jones, of Washington,
voted against the minority-resolution
to seat Roberts and-then expel him,
and in favor of the majority resolution
to exclude him. Cushman, of Wash
ington, was absent. Wilson, of Idaho,
voted for the minority resolution to
seat Roberts and then cxd?1 him. and
against the majority to exclude hint.
BRYAN IS CHOSEN.
Democrats of Pennsylvania Endorse
r -Him for President
Harrisbnrg, ' Fa., Jan. 25. The state
democratic committee set the pace for
the democracy of other statef today, by
making Col. W. J. Bryan its choice for
the presidency in- ix3. This 'action
was taken by the committee while Col.
Bryan was on his vfay to Harrisburg,
from New York to attend the meeting
and confer- with . tljie parjy leaders.
This is probably the first time in the
party's history' that; the democrats of
Pennsylvania have! indicated their
choice for president in advance of the
state convention. -
The state convention will be held in
this city on April 5th, and will adopt
a platlorm along the lines laid down
by the Nebraska orator, in his speech.
tonight, before 5000 people at the Kel
ler street hall. The platform will en
dorse the Chicago declaration of . prin
ciples, denounce trusts and L imperial
ism. dvocate ballot reform and-. Dure
elections, and condemn machine poli
tics. .
THE RACE QUESTION. -Washington,
Jan. 25. Just at . the
close of today's session of the senate,
the speech delivered bv Money.' of
Mississippi, on the race question io the
South, "precipitated a heated colloquy
between him and Chandler, republi
can, of New Hampshire, in which the
latter alleged that the Southern sena
tors, by. their intemperate statements,
were reopening the whole Southern
question in the senate after it was sup
posed to be dead. The charge which
Chandler particularly noticed was made
by Morgan, ot Alabama, who is ab
sent, but as it had been reiterated sub
stantially, in . Chandler's ooinion." bv
other senators, he declared he did not
purpose to permit it to go unrefuted
The charge was that tlie civil war had
been precipitated - by designing poli
ticians of the North, for the ournosc
of putting the slaves on political and
social equality with the Southern
whites. Chandler's refutation of the
statement wis made with his character
isuc venemence and aggressiveness,
but as no reply was offered,' the inci
dent ended there. ,

HONOLULU IS STRICKEN ;
THE CITY SUFFERING SORELY
WITH BUBONIC PLAGUE.
Thirty-Nine Deaths Have Been Re
ported as a Result of the Visita
tion Ten Blocks Burned.
VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 25 The
steamer Miowera, of the Canadian
Australian line, although she did not
make a call in the usual sense at Hon
olulu, and brought neither mails, nor
passengers from that plague-ridden
city, learned, while at anchor off that
port, that the bubonic visitation grew
more serious daily. There had been
thirty-nine deaths to date, . including
one white woman. The inter-island
trade is described as paralyzed, and
Hilo has soe ffectually barricaded its
doors against the introduction of the
disease that its protective force have
orders to shoot any one attempting to
aocK steamers irom the capital.
Immigrant steamers continue to ar
rive from Japan, and quarantine ac
commodations are taxed to more than
their capacity. In Honolulu a name
prevails, and the danger is vastlvt in
tensified by the popular terror.
Y resident Cooper, of the board of
health of Honolulu, had ten blocks
burned. Thirty-four hundred Japan
ese, at Honolulu, are in quarantine.
. A CANNERS COMBINE.
Frazer River Packers Have Entered
' Into an Agreement
Vancouver, ' B.j C ' Jan. 25. The
British Columbia "combine was formed
today, of the Frazer river canners,
superseding the pools which had been
arranged in default of a general plan
of co-operation, j The - arrangement
made- is regarded as of the greatest
importance to the canners.
An arrangement has ben made which
for protective and operative purposes,
makes the forty-eight canneries on the
Frazer river one big institution! All
the canners signed an agreemnt except
two, and these represented the fot-r
canneries the directors of which reside
in England. ': : ; . u.t :
The compact involves the price oH
salmon and the size of the pack. A
committee will be j chosen to set the
price on Salmon for. the season. After
the fishermen's price has been regu
la ted. the canners will be bound each
one by the deposit 1 of a $1000 certified
check not to offer; to pay more than
the set price for fish. Should any can-
Jner put up a larger pack thanJias been
j assigned to him, his surplus, pack must
be divided pro rata among all the other
Icanners.
