About one hundred names added j to the list of the Twicc-a-week States ma this' week. ' A contemporary paragrapher appro priately says: "It was the natural Democratic itch for free" trade that aroused all the fuss about 'Porto Rico." There is said to be a srrong lobby at Washington against the American shipping interest opposing the pend ing bill to encourage the construction and operation of vessels by the people of our country. It k of course in the pay of foreign ship owners, who want to continue their virtual monopoly. Chas. D. Hartman. candidate on the Legislative ticket, is too busy just now, training h.is 'hop, to spend any time campaigning, ma lie will he witn the candidates when the time comes, and Ji? will run along with the rest of the ticket, for he is a good and practi ra! man. and all who know him have faith in his honety and ability. Lieut. Chas. A. Murphy, the Repub lican candidate for sheriff, is making friends every .day. Mr,. Murphy is in every way competent to fill the place It a which he aspires, and that he is deserving goes without saying. Mr. (Murphy, if elected, will be found a most accommodating and affable offi cial, ever ready cheerfully to do his full duty. A ; Statesman hustler who has been making a trjp through eastern and .northern Marion county finds the hop growers in the hills training their hops. They are, further along than the vines: on the lower lands, as a general thing.) FThe grain crops, too, in the hills, are advanced, and there is very little plow- ing and seeding yet to do. The frmj ers on the bottom lands have been somewhat discouraged with the lat$ tain but they are out in their fields plowing and seeding and cultivati.i their hop yardsi-Some grain field have not yet ben broken with the plow for the spring grain, and the next few weeks will be very busy ones w it'll them. In the Settlemier nurseries at "Woodbu-rn a large force was lound at work, getting ready for next season's trade.. The Statesman representative Farmers and Furrowo A farmer is known by his furrow as the carpenter is known by his chip." It takes a firm hand and a true eve to turn a straight furrow. No wonder the fanner wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air. One day's work on the farm would tire many a trained athlete. And the farmer worits names 01 sut. ine nrst up ana the last to bed, feeding his team before he feeds himself, his work is practically never done. Why' does not the farmer treat his own body as he treats the land he cultivates? lie puts back in . phos- eiate what he takes out in crops, or the nd would grow poor. The farmer should put back into his body the vital elements exhausted by labor. If he does not, he will soon complain of 'poor health. The great value of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital izing power. It gives strength to the stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the, blood. It supplies Nature with the sub stances by which she builds up the body, just as the fanner supplies Nature with the substances that build up the crops. I write to ten yom of the great benefit t e reived from the at of Dr. Fierce' Golden Med ical Discovery," write Mr. C. B. Bird, of Byrn. side. Pstnara Co., W. Va. It cured toe of a very - bad case of indigestion associated with' torpid liver. Before I begraa tbe cne of 'Gotdea Med ical Discovery ' I had no appetite; could sot sleep nor work but very tittle. Tbc little that I ate chi sot agree with me, bowels constipated, and Lie was a misery to me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce rrrinr the symptom, and asked far advice, lie advised roe to try tbe 'Golden Medical Dis. co very ' so I bnu tbc one of it and alter taking or bottle I felt so weU that I went to work.; but soon grot worse, so I af-ain began the nse of it and nsed it about eight weeks longer, when I Was permanently cored." . . - Dr. rierce's pleasant Pellets invigor ate stomach, liver and bowels. Use trrn when you require a pill. ' K " ssL did not find a hop yard that will not be cultivated, in a " week's ' travel through the hop districts. He found more farmers going-into clover and forage and pasture crops than . evr before..; ; .(There is a German cjtin near Hub bard, Marion county, who bought sixty acres of land from the Judge "Grimm place nine year ago. He paid $20 an acre, or agreed to pay this price for he had no money to pay down, i The land was all covered with timber. But lie went to work in earnest, and ;'. he now has fhirty-five acres in cultivatim a part of which is in hops. Three jyears ago he ' made over $1400 ; clear from his hops; year before last $900, and last year he made fair wages for his work,, selling at 9 cents a , pound He has' paid for his land and all the improvements, and owes no. man '; a dollar, and he is now thinking of buy ing more land.

Prosperity till seems to cling to the American larmer. Exchange. Oregon was not overlooked by Dame Fortune: in the month ot March. though jour farmers did not have near ly as much to sell of some of the ar ticles as they should have had. WESTERN WOOSL VALUES. i Valley Oregon wool has seen some peculiait fluncfuations during the past decade. During 1&10 to 180.2 it was iOftight; in Salem at an average of 20 cents per pound rangintr from 18 to 21 cents. J - i j Front 1893 to 1896 it averaged ioJ4 cents, the actual orice oaid bv a Salem firm being 10 cents in 1893, 1895 and 1896, and 11 cents in 1894. i In 1897. Valley Oregon wool began to pickj lip in price selling at 13 cents. In and i&g it did even better, be ing placed at 16 cents. The same firm that bought at these figures expects to pay 20 cents for the same grade'of wool this year. If Oregon farmers will consider the economic conditions that existed when they got the low and the high prices for the wool, they will readily under stand that the protective tariff" and Republican administrations of 1800 to 189.2. and of 1897 to 1900. were by far the best for the American sheep grower. ! Oregon farmers don't want free wool. Bryan says: "I am for free wool. Therefore the Oregon farmers don't want Bryan for 'President or any rep resentative in either branch of Con gress who will vote on Bryan's side or run orl 'Bryan's ticket. Several ex changes. . v j jCorrcct. Indeed the Oregon fann ers doj not want Bryan for President, of any representative in either branch of Coijigress who is for free trade in wool. I They have had their medicine. fThc wool growers may not get '. 20 cents for their product at Salem this year; but if they do not that price will .not be shaded much. Some of them arc expecting 20 cents, and saying the conditions justify that high a price. PART OF IT. The; state tax levy this year is 6.3 nrills. the highest tax ever levied for this state's purposes. By this tax the people of Umatilla county are called en to j contribute $43,400 as their share of the state's burden. Why does the state need so much money? Because of bad methods and bad legislation on the part of a large Republican majority in the legislature. Pendleton East Orego nian. j Par of the money is needed to pay rp the heavy expenses that were in curred the last time any considerable numler of Populists and- Democrat' wcrt j elected to the Legislature, when they refused to go j.nto the capito! and organize: but on the contrary estab lished headquarters! elsewhere and frit tt red ! away tliir time idly and then drew pay and full expenses for all the time) they were subverting the funda mental principles of the government they were elected to uphold. "The people of Oregon will probably not igive their sanction for a repetition 0 this -nasco very soon at least not this year. . . ;' From the record of the Weather Bu reaujj kept at Portland for twenty-nine years! we may anticipate the sort of weather we arc likely to have during the month of May. 'The mean or normal temperature during the month for the twenty-nine years has been 57 degrees. The Warmest month was in 1888. with an average ;of 62 degrees; the coldest in l8o9,!.w;th an average of 51. The high est temperature was in 1887, on the 29th being 99 degrees; the lowest was in 1S78. i on the 3d, being 33 degrees. The average dates of the first and last killing irosUj has been Nov. 26th and April nth. j The' average precipitation ; for the month has been 2.39 inches. Average number of days with .ot of an inch or more,. iz. Tbe greatest mOnthfy precip itattdn was tS.30 inches, in 1879; least Jamonthly precipitation, o.63 inches, in 1 838.

' The Mohawk branch of the Southern Pacific is to be finished in July or August This is built almost exclusive- ly. at least for the present, for the pur pose of securing the freighting of tha lumber that will be sawed out of the large body of timber on. the Mohawk by the Booth-Kelly people, ine pro posed r inch road of the Southern Pa cific iron Sheridan to Tillamook bay would taip a district having many bil lions ot feet of standing timber ' of different varieties suitable for the needs of commerce; besides running through an excellent farming, dairying and stock raising country, and connecting with an ocean harbor that is a safe one at almost all, seasons for coasting vessels There are many reasons ' why this railroad should bp built, and why the Southern Pacific should build it. In the death of Thomas Kay, Salem loses a good and useful citizen, whose labors have been given largely for the welfare bf the : city in connection with oifrr important manufacturing concern the woolen mill," of which he , was tne largest siock holder, and its manager. Mr. Kay was always an enterprising and industriokis-citizen. 'He was besides an honest and upright man in all his deal- ings. While tne organization ot tne woolen rhifl is such that its business will probably hot suffer materially from the ..1. .. . . . loss, ow ng to hisl wise foresight,' Mr Kay's active presence will nevertheless be sadly missed by his associates and by all of his vast circle of friends; and the great loss to his immediate family makes them the recipient of sincere sympathy wherevt r the excellent, kindly and gen erous qualities of Mr. Kay were known.

Fish That Possess an Abnormally Vo racious Appetite. I onqe enjoyed the privilege of see ing an army of mackerel successfully corner a shoal of small fry in a rocky shallow pool which was a cul de sac. The mackerel swam 'behind their vic tims in serried ranks a company of determined cr.itures, intent gorging feast to which there hungry, Upon a need be no limit. They had followed the fry for miles maybe, merely swal lowing bne here and one there to keep their appetites whetted, rsow they had cornered them where there was no escaipe for their victims. No alert fisherman, on the lookout for just such arp opportunity, was at hand to convertj their triumph and feasting into captivity and lamentation; they might feast at will. And, lye gods, feast they did! No one who has npt seen it would believe that the cubic capacity of a mackerel could possibly deal successfully with the number of small fish he actually swal lows. The way he conducts the opera tion of feasting is unique. Opening his month wide, the mackerel darts in among the small fry, some of which are perhaps one-third of his own length.j In an instant one of these is to be. seen sticking half in and half out of his mouth. Then the mackerel gives one! guip. and the victim has disap peared! Without a moment's delay he process is repeated, and repeated so many times that the spectator cannot fail to be concerned for the immediate future of the particular . mackerel he has -watched. Yet nothing happens. As fori the fry. their helpless anguish is somewhat heartrending. The whole shoal of them boils and churns the wa ter in an agony of fear. High into the air they leap, in order to avoid their voracious enemies, landing themselves, often enough, upon the weed-covered rocks which skirt the pool, and pant ing their lives out there rather than leap back into the seething rrtass 'of the ir harassed companions beneath. Longrtian's Magazine TO FIGHT BANANA TRUST. banana trust, which has forced the prfice of tropical fruit to such a figure ! that the great jobbers west uf the Allcghanies have suffered, is to have a powerful "rival in the National Banana Jobbers and Importers' asso ciation At a meeting of banana deal ers fr dm points as far apart as Mich igan And ' Texas. Oregon, and Ohio, at Nol I .Dearborn avenue, the. purpose was announced of creating a new cor poration, which shall have for its ob ject the freeing of the jobbers from the hold jf the Eastern trust. The new company will import bananas, cocoa nuts, pineapples, and other fruits from hot cjlimates, will charter a fleef of vessel, and will, perhaps, buy and operate plantations in , Central and South; America. , The capital stock of the organization was ! sjst" at $100,000, with a likelihood of an J immediate increase to $.250,000. Of this stock $75,000 was. subscribed on the spot ' It is said that $: 0.000,000 of willing money is back, of the move ment. T C. H. Robertson? of Sl Louis said, conceding the association: "With rich Central American lands to be bought for a jsong. and the unrivaled commer cial facilities furnished by the gulf of Mexico, the 'Mississippi river, Chi cago's new ship canal, ; and the great network of railroads at our disposal, why ihoukt we submit longer to the robbery of the trusL: We can own in a short time productive plantations ixt Bocal del Torres, Bluefields, " Port Li mon, and Puerto Cortez, and can buy or own ; enotrgn shins to carry the product to our harbors, within a- fesfthe most painful . and disgusting: way. mentis at the outside.

AIAN AND BIRD IN X31jL.ISION. A do- wSnging its flight over the tracks of the Southern Railway near Juliet, in Alonroe county, collided with a passenger train going in the oppo site direction at a, hrgh rate, of speed. The Mrd's .lody plungetlp through the glass window off the cab. Its leak, sharp as a. needle's point, pierced the right eve . of Engineer Charles Wal lace and the surgeons say it destroyed the engineer's sight temporarily anf possibly permanently. . Engineer Wallace was at the lever of tthe afternoon .passenger train for Macon when it pulled out oif the Union depot- The run to Julie't -was made without incident. After the train left the station the engineer opened the throtle to run the train faster than usual an order to make up a .few min utes' kst time. The train was bowl 'ing along -at a sixty-imile-an-hour gait. The engineer's seat in the cab faces the track aihe'ad. A window of glass an. eighth of an . inch thick protects him ifrom the draughts, smoke and cin ders. He iwas looking through this window when suddenly the body of the dove burst through the pane of glass ami striJck him in the face. II 'e was blinded ifor an instant, and the pain in his eye made him realize at once that he was seriously hurt. The fireman on the cab with Engin eer Wallace saw the accident and re lieved him of his post. The pain in-' creased itr Wallace's eye until it was almost unbearable and he finally went back into the baggage coach to get such assistance as was possible on the train. The dove was killed by the sudden contact with the cab window. Its quivering body fell r on the iron floor of the engine cafl alter striking the engineer, and was picked up by the fireman. So great was the momentum ot the -train ami the dove s body that the glass window was. not smashed 'by the blow of the collision. The hole through which the ib'ird was hurled was clean cut. uke that made by a bullet fired through glass. Atlanta Journal. HAVING FUN WITH AN ECHO.
