CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000 ABED T WAS PRETTY BAu. Favorite among the themes of trav elers Is th discussion of hotels and, whenever a few f them meet, there la certain to be an exchange of experi enced in hostelrles that thejr have vls Hed. Thus, anions those who travel constantly. It happen that this town or that atain the reputation of .possessing- the worst hotel In the country. Bad as is the reputation of some American hoatelrtea. It ia not recorded that any one of them la ao bad. that Its guenta have aoutcht refuge from it horrors In an almhoue. That distinc tion, according to Dublin dispatch, has been reserved for the hotels In the Irish town of Donegal. s' At the laat meeting of the Donegal board of guardians, according to n report In the Anaconda Standard, a man named McOrory applied for ad mission to the almshouse. It was not, he said, that he was In need of alms; he was able and willing1 to pay his way. All he asked was permission to do so ir. a manner that would injure his per sonal comfort. jtlcOroary explained that he bad -acquired a coniietence in America, and had returned to Ireland to pass hJ declining yearn In his na tive town. He had found the hotels so extremely bad that he wa! unable to live In them comfortably no matter how much he paid. , lie had. however. Investigated condl lions at the almshouse and ,thry were sired to be admitted to the institution as a paying boarder. -Unless' -btr-ve- finest was grand Jhe vwoui4c-wn telled to abandon his purOH of dwell fng In the lant of hl birth and wold rtturn to America, where the ornetf leef and cabbage are good and where the potatoes re Juat right. Hia appeal Tras pathetic and the board granted his petition. The frlce was fixed at Ave dollar and a quarter a week and Mc Oroary drove fo the almshouee in n carriage, rejoicing In his good luck.'. The prompt 'action ofthe bostrd of guardians dinmisaes thei B.iciti that McOroary la merely an eccentric. It In dicates that his position was well tak en and It must be concluded that Done Rnl hotels are as bad as can be found anywhere. ISome hotels drive men to drink; some lead men to commit crimes that land them In the penitentiary; some even make men Insane but it baa remained for Donegal to force a itian to seek refuge In an almshouse. , THE KING AT WORK. News from Iinndon In regard to cab inet changes Is delayed. Surprises Tor the Britishers come In swift succession; the spectacle now presented Is the ac tivity of the sovereign In the matter of cabinet-making. The living geneta tion in England has not witnessed the like of lt; j Queen Victoria, except in one or two now forgotten . Instances early In her reign, took without, com ment or protest what was passed up to her In the matter of the cabinet per sonnet : , ." "'.:. '.

There fa a disease prevailice la fhif country most daneerous because so decep- lZxi Uvs. Many suddes deaths are caused by it heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney dineavt. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood wiU attack the vital organs or the kidneys tnemsehres break down and waste gvay cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement cf the kidneys and a cure is cbtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys, . If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney. Ever and bladder remedy. It corrects Inability to hold urine and scald ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity cf being, compelled to go cftea during ths day. and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realised. It stands the highest for Its won derful cures of the moot distressing cases. Svamp-Roct is pleasant to take and sold ty all druggist In fifty-cent and one-dollar sired bottles, f Tou may - fC-TZ. have a sample bottle of Ihi3 vonderf jI ne dis covery and a book that tells all about It, both nMti.tS4. sent free by mail.

Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y on every bottle. to responsible Ministers. The Prime Minister ia nominated by the sovereign. and he submits his ministry to royal approval. Yet this selection by the crown Is o limited that It is littl more than a yerfupctory act. No Prime Minister jt-ould carry on the govern ment for a day who lacked the support of the mm of Commons: and royal favor, if it were ever invidiously exer cised. Would promptly find itself com pelled to yield to popular opinion. There are a good many things which, In the letter, the King of England can do but which, in the spirit of English institutions, he would not dream of doing, ff Technically, for instance, he can refuse Ills sanction to a bill passed by Parliament. Were King Edward to do that, j there would be revolution in hla realm--that royal right, according to a writer in an exchange, has not been exercised since 1707, Meanwhile: the personal, attention paid by King Edward to cabinet revi sion amounts to a diversion for his subject and is Interesting In , Its. way. A good many things are happening in Ixaidon'a government circle to arous the curiosity and the. surprise ,jot h English people. - JETTS CODE OF MORALS. Curtiss Jett. the Kentucy murderer, now under sentence of death, has made a statement In which he reveals his rystem; of phllosopny and code oi hics. f Heading Jetfsl remarks. It Is e.tsier to understand the proceedings ttaat have given the now notorious I ii cathitt ' county Its unenviable repu tation. Like most criminals. Jett de fend him. self and his "fellow feudists on the broud ground that they are no worse,' In Rome respects even better, than other people who have managed to keep out of trouble. -"Breathitt county Is not half so bad as It is painted," says Jett. "The Sal vation Army would do better to stay In Cleveland. - It's needed there just as much as in Breathitt and could do more ' good. You hwve more murders f here In Louisville than we have ; up therej . The trouble Is that people make' much of every little thing that happens In the mountains. They, ex aggerate everything that's the trou ble, bust s fine people live there as , i anywhere In the world, just as honor able and a lot more generous and hos pitable than you have, and they are brave." Then Mr. Jett goes on to ex plairi his "underetaixJing of bravery. "People say constantly that the so called feud system is cowardly. If a father is shot from ambush, do you think his friends are going to give the mani wha did it any better show? Ain't turn about fair play? Anyone who Is cquainted with the people will tell j you ' they are physically as cour ageous as lions. Men are' shot from ambush.' not because of fear, but be cause that is, under the circumstances, thejonly fair way to do' it." J Thai is the system of an' eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth with a vengeance. A cowardly murder calls for retaliation In kind, otherwise vio lence Is done in the spirit of fair play But askJe from this grotesque; feature of ' Jetfs defense of feud -murders, be sets up a code of morals' that r makes its adherents the sole judges and the executioners of every offense a code that fpaces law and order and sub stitutes private , vengeance. I IT IS UP To HENRY. At the present writing It really ap pears to be up to Mr. Henry Watter son. It was he who started .the story about a big corruption fund In t-ohnec t ion with the Panama scheme. : As the yarnIf It is a yarn came from Mr. Watterson, the forty mil lions - to be paid to the French com pany were to be divided equally be tween the company and certain Amer lean schemers. Including Senators of i the United States.' A -distinguished III II v I 111:11 f French engineer declare it to be a fact that not one dollar of the forty millions can be paid out by. the offi cers of the company without a de cree of the courts InJFrance, The French, engineer pays that un der the contract' of sale the whole forty millions must be paki tinder the eye of the courts) "and. the company is bankrupt, the particular share ' of each stockholder and claimant,; must be determined and approved- by - the court and paid and receipted for. It in hardly probable that the coort will decree the payment of any ) money as bribes to American Senators, nor Is It probable that the stockholders, after having received their dividends, will chip into a common fund for the pur pose of bribery. - . n J'v? " J I ". :-' ; While the I remarks of this French engineer do"' not put Mr. I Watterson summarily out .of court, they do sug gest conditions wnlch would make his alleged bribery compact difficult of execution. -Particulars from Mr. Wat terson would be more Interesting- than generalities. r It is singular that a" man with Mr. Watterson's j experience should make such statements having: no better evidence than j mere hear i. say. ; MUST BE A MISTAKE. Editor Statesman: The usually care ful and correct Salem correspondent of the Oragonian has certainly done the Secretary of State an injustice in re porting? that he was held up in the matter of supporting Superintendent BickersYf or re-election by certain local iiifluerwesim the threat of said intlu- tr.ces to withdraw their support unless their blddins: were complied with. In the first place it Is unlike the secre tary to heed such threats, and especial ly when the alleged basis for the de mand is considered, towlt, , the asser tion thet Mr. Bickers 'peviniWed the employes of the Reform School to col onize in Salem JNo. 2T, In the primary contest last year. , In the second place, the report must be Incorrect, for the reason that every citizen of Salem knows that Governor Geer's friends carried Salem No. .2 by more than one hundred and fifty ma jority; while all the employes at the Hef orm School, men and women, num ber but twenty. Indeed, if the entire Reform School, boys employes and all. bhould have moved; bodily into Salem Xo. 2 and had all voted against the administration, it would not have changed the result. It is now recalled that the said in fluences did complain, at the time, that Dr. Calbreath was permitting some col onization, in Salem No.. 2, which, how ever, was not done, .but the board very wisely re-elected him to succeed him self. But the idea that the Secretary of State was influenced by certain local representations f that Bickers "colon ized" the largest precinct in Marion county with ten men and nine women, a hd' therefore must be punished by de capitation Is too" transparently thin to be respectably, gau?. ; 5 . ; - Even if Calbreath had been guilty of colonising" Salem No 2. which he Was not. to assume to, punish Bickers for the doctor's offense would he a sort of vicarious atonement with , so- few precedents that its application" Is dis tinctly modernj .

Westgate, ,who took charge of the property, on October 1. Mr. Winn served as Census Supervisor in this district In taking the. last cen sus, and Mr. Westgate is a prominent capitalist of the Linn county metrop olis. Mr. J. R. Whitney is the present State Printer for Oregon and Is a res ident of Salem, while jrfr. S. S. Train is poBtmaater at Albany. ;The fact that they could not give the business of the paper their personal attention was one reason for their selling. ; The Herald is a good newspaper property and It may be made still more successful with hard work. and close attention.

CORVALLIS ' GROWERS ' ARE BUILDIN& A MODERN t PRUNE PROCESSING . AND PACKING PLANT DRYING WILL ) SOON BE COMPLETED A LARGE CROP Prune drying- In the .valley is rapid ly drawing to & close, in fact, 'most all the driers in the low. UndAj have al ready been closed for the season,', but most of those on the uplaods are still running full blast, and the rains of the past week have hindered . materially with prune picking, besides beating the fruit from the trees and causing it to crack, but In spite of all this. very few prunes in Oregon will be lost and the state . will supply nearly 30,000,000 pounds of the finest fruit on earth, towards filling the world's de mand for prunes. The growers are rapidly hauling their fruit to this market, where it is being processed and packed, and as rapidly as ca r s can t be . secured; for warded to Eastern , - and European markets to fill contracts already made. The Willamette Valley Prune Associa tion is shipping ao average of about two cars a day, and Tillson & Co. are averaging one and a half cars a day, and could ship two cars daily if the cars were available, jt i ; An article appearing in yesterday's issue of the Coryallis Times. shows the progress being made with the large prune crop in the vicinity of Corvallls. They are now constructing a process ing and packing: plant similar to the one in Salem, which is partially man aged by H. S. Glle, of this city.' The article follows: "Operations have ended for this season at the big prune drier. AH the appliances have been cleaned up and put away, and the last of the force of working people quitted' -the place Tuesday evening; The product of dried) prunes is in the bins ,at the plant, going through the sweating process. It is very large in volume, the aggregate being1 very close to the estimate of Manager Jphnson about the time, drying began. In two or three weeks, after the sweating pro cess ends, the sacking" of the prunes for removal o the Corvwllis process ing plant will begin. ' ' At the processing1 works, operations are expected to begin in about three weeks.' By that time all the machinery will be in readiness, and a proper force of operatives will have been se cured. Meantime the Paddock crop and the output of the orchard former ly owned .toy F. P. Sheasgreen are be ing hauled to the works. The same is true of the prunes from the B. W. Johnson orchard. The Henry Stone prunes, which were In the drier at the time of the late fire, nave been sold. The figure "given out as the price at which the product sold Is 3 cents per pound. ' t , "Operations Jn all the driers in the vicinity have ended, except in the drier In the Rose orchard, and the commercial drier of Charles Blakeslee, in Corvallls. and both of these are likely to close down today. "TJie prune market is not opening up as favorably as might have been desired or as ' was expected.- Prices have been somewhat off during several days past, though a better tone now manifests itself." . - WENT HIM ONE BETTER LOU DILLON WOULD NOT ALLOW MAJOR DELMAR TO BEAT ."

As a result of the poor judgment in certain prune dealers, especially those in Southern Oregon, the stability of the prune market is well nigh destroyed and prunes are being offered at any old price, with few takers. Eastern dealers holding off in an effort to buy at still lower prices- The result is that the Willamette Valley - Prune Associa tion has withdrawn their prunes from the market altogether, and are simply running on orders already placed. They are maintaining Uhe old price of a 2'. cent and 3-cent basis, and insist that prunes are worth that amount, despite the depressed condition of the mar ket. They have every reason to feel confident, since the California crop has fallen far short of, expectations, the shortage in Santa Clara .county alone heing one-half larger than the ; entire crops of Oregon and Washington. : A good many prunes are changing hands daily among growers and local Independent dealers. Yesterday TIll son & Company sold ten carloads to an Eastern dealer for immediate delivery on a basis of 14 cents per pound. ! Portland dealers have entirely with drawn from the market, refusing to cither buy or rell preferring to wait un til the market settles at some point, or recovers its stability. The worst diffi culty at present is that marry farmers are not in a position ' to - hold . their prunes untU .the right time, and must A GKNEROUS OFtTEU force them on the market at any pric offered for financial reasons. This places them at the mercy of the buyers. Tillson A. Company's prune packing plant on Trade street Is at present one of the busiest places in the city. The plant is newly built throughout, and is arranged in a manner ; by which the least possible amount of labor Is neces sary to handle the fruit, which Is being crowded through the grader and pro cessor at the rate of 60.000 pounds dally. The ' Immense grader on the third floor is not run to its full capac ity, but if run steadily for ten hours, would grade seventy-five - tons.: cf prunes. Twenty men are steadily em ployed handling the fruit, and besides a large force of girls is constantly busy hning the boxes ' Each twenty-five pound box Is first lined with parrafine paper, and then two . layers of prunes are carefully placed In .the boxes in rows by the deft hands of the young1 ladies They are then pressed and. af ter the box is filled again pressed, and the labels placed on so that the bot tom becomes the top. and when opened In the Eastern cities presents a most appetising appearance enough to tempt the most discriminating buyer at 12 cents per pound, which they bring In the retail market v r . ";.,:', - i A box machine is orte of the most In teresting devices In the plant - With one . man to operate it, this machine makes easily 1000 boxes per day, prov ing a great labor saving device At least three men would be required to make the same number of boxes by hand.-" . , . . .
