Uhlished here. i ! . C M. Elspass, of Washougal, Wash ington, agent for the Mocdy-Sharples system of improved creamery machin ery, is in the city. He has been inter viewing farmers concerning the cream ery proposition with a view to intro ducing his machinery as an economical ' ami labor saving device for handling cream. Yesterday he visited Turner -and Aumsville arid1 will today j go to Independence He says he finds the . r farmers very enthusiastic and predicts ' that the project will be a pronounced success.' 'Many farmers will invest in the machinery and several' assured him that they would increase their herds. The Eugene' Guard of the 2lst, quotes C. II. Markham. of the Southern Pa- S, C.STONE, M. D. . Proprietor of STOflE'S DRUG STORES SALEM, OREGON. The stores, (two in number) are lo- ,-catcd at No. 235 and 333 Commercial y street, and-ere well stocked . with a complete line! of drugs and medicines, 1 ' toilet articles, perfumery, brushes, etc., etc., etc.; " hi DR. STONE Has had "some 25 years experience in the practice of medicine -and j now makes no charge for consultation, .ex amination or prescription. I cific Railroadcompany as voicing the following sensible thoughts, while in that city the previous -day: "There is no use of talking about the least. 'What we ought to do. and what I believe we wil do. is to take on- new life. Every interest, in the state, be U farming, railway, banking mercantile or professional, should1 take up this ques tion of dairying and encourage the in dustry until 10 years hence there will not k a farm in Western Oregon which is mt within, easy reach of a creamery. What lias been done in thcr state can be done here. The tailroad will d their share if our mer chants ami prfeiunal men will fall into line, tlure will be no question as to the reu! "Every t. in Western Oregon should have m-eisl organita t ion all of the encrk.. A which should, for the present, be do.cd to this one idea. We oaght to have emrogh sur plus energy ; stored uji to accomplish anything we imdcrtakc. Look at the work done by the fanners of Minnesota in the past iio years. The first co operative creamery in that state was built in! 1801; now there are nearly 600 creameries; in 1893 there were 253 creameries of. both classes; now there are 700. These 700 creameries, with a capital of $.2,800,000. handle 1,350,000, 000 pounds of milk per annum, and after expending $1,100,000 in the cost of manufacture, make a product from which they realize $10,450,000, of which $8,400,000 net is returned to the 54,000 patrons in payments of butter and fat taken from the milk. Portland should take hold of thi9 matter. Western Ore gon is and always will be, commercial ly tributary to Portland.- and she will not have to divide any new business which may be developed with Puget sound. Much of the progress which has been made; in the great dairying states of Minnesota. Wisconsin and Iowa, has been due to the work of their agricultural colleges, which are given loyal x support by the people of those states. We should, therefore, strengthen our Corvallis college in every way pos sible. As in the other states named, the farm department should be equipped with a practical commercial creamery, that the farmers may derive the ben efit of object lessons conducted by skilled professors. . Every paper of any importance in the state should have a column or more devoted to intelligent discussion of dairy interests." ' " Scientists say that there is no plant but does serve as food for some ani mal, but 4he only article used as food from the mineral kingdom is coiOr men salt. . 1 .

On Wednesday Ilcrren & Levy pur chased the Lewis Savage lot of hops : 36 bales paying 7 cents per pound therefor. This is the first sale outside of those corisumated by the Oregon Hop Growers Association, that -has been recorded in this immediate locality for several days. i James Winstanley, manager of the Salem agency of the Oregon Hop Growers Association, was in Gervais Wednesday where he superintended the shipment of 105 bales of hops, repre senting a i previous sale mSSe. by the association-; . : , 1 ' When seen yesterday afternoon, Mr. Winstanley said inquiries concerning the sale of hops were becoming more numerous every day.

In fact for everything they want they gq to Friedman's New Racket. Where is Friedman's New Racket?

Mr. Savage did not pool his hops with the association but without the substantial effect ? that organization 'had on the market, it is alleged he wojild not have realized more titan 5 cents per pound, for otherwise the .market would -surely have been sadly demoralized. . Two Portland buyers visited' the Sa lem agency yesterday afternoon and submitted offers for several lots but the quotations named were .not satisfactory to the association and unless the desir ed figure is offered, it is not probable the sale will be made. The association has fixed a schedule of prices from which, in the selling of hops, it does not propose to d'eviate. The hop-growers of this, state. ha-ing for yars acted largely at the dictation of buyers, have evidently turned the tables and will for a scasori, at least, themselves assume the role ot.dictator in the disposition of their product. POPLUSTS MEET IN PORTLAND. The State Central "Committee Decides to Hold State Convention in the e ' J Metropolis on- April ith. Geo. W. Weeks, chairman of the Marion County Populist Central Com mittee, returned from Portland on- -the California express last evening, where he attended. a meeting of the Hate cen tral committee of that political organi zation. The committee decided to hold the s.ate contention of the popu list, party in Portland, on Monday, April ith the same day that the re publicans a.id democrats meet in state oonlvent-ion in the metropolis. A LOST .RIVER. One of the onost remarkable freaks of nature occurs in Mexico. It is a river that is not a river. The bed of it lies in a valley between the Rio Grande and Pecos rivers. It. is not a tcau or dned-up stream. It is sam- ply lost. Numerous big tributaries now into it from the neighboring mountains. Immediately, however, they reach the bed of the main stream they disappear from sight. Thus, for some reason or another a river, which phould be 300 miles in length, has no existence which could be proved. READY TO COLLECT COUNTY CI EKK HALL COM PLETED THE 1890 TAX ROLL.

Hall has com plcted the extension of the levies on the Marion county tax roll for the year 1899, and the books are now ready to be turned over to Sheriff F. W. Durbin. The work of computing the levies and extending the tax was done by Ed. N Edes and Ralph W. Terrell. The total taxable property of Marion county amounts to $7,923,043, and the amount of taxes to be cdllectcd by' the sheriff is $217,124.30. The taxable property in Marion county, for the year 1808 was 0.057,439, and the total tax was $218,-77944- ... This breaks the record in ; the' prepar ation of the assessment roll in Marion county since the law was enacted giving cities' amKschool districts ime to Feb ruary 1st to notify the county clerk of their levies, and speaks volumes for the promptitude with which the vork was done when all data was in the hands of the' clerk. Last year the tax roll wa9 completed about March 3d, which was considered early, b.ut; tlms year that record is broken, by ten days. Last year ; the books were noti placed in the sheriff's hands until (about j the middle of March, and a little dclny may be canned this year, as the sheriff's receipts and tax register have not ; been com pleted :and delivered as yet. As soon as these supplies are received, the books w'Al be delivered to the sheriff with a warrant for the colkvtion of the taxes.

In the travelling department, there i no better equipped road in the United States for carrying passengers either east or west than this road. At their large depot there are uniformed attendants, who are at the arrival and departure of each train, for the purpose of seeing that your -baggage is properly-taken care of, that vou are made perfectly at home, and in the case of a lady the baggagee is carried to and irom the depot, and all without extra charge, . In the depot is a department knovvn s thejJburcau of information, where ac commodating attendants are ever ready and willing to answer all questions that t is 'necessary tor travellers to ask. whether experienced or inexperienced. Utlore leaving the train in entering Chicago the gentlemanly porter goes quietly through the cars, informing the passengers just the length of time until the depot is reached, asking them to secure ail their baggage that none may he Jett't on the -train, an I assisting those that are in need, of assistance. Their. trains are made up with coaches of the latest conveniences, reclining clrairs. tourist and Pullman sleepers. dining cars and buffet cars. This makes the conveniences as nearly homelike as it is iHssrbIe to be. In the buffet car one can secure the many small necessi ties that go to make traveling both a pleasure and, a comfort. Cigars, the latest novels, magazines and periodi- jcals are always on hand for the .pas sengers on the train. Recently a bar bar chair has been added for the com-1 fort of travelers, which is indeed ja luxury. Their telescope vestibule cars and double ! windows keep out the duj-t and dirt, which 4ias always been one of the unpleasant features of traveling. Their road makes connections wii(h several of the Western roads, which makes them a portion of the transcoo tinental' system. I!i" contemplating la trip East, or if having 'friends in tlie East contemplating a Western trip, ytu are assured of the most courteous treat ment, and a greater number of conye- nienices, if your ticket reads over die Chicago & Northwestern road.
