tract from a farmer's letter to the
Salem Capita i. Journal in rela
tion to an alleged Millers' Trust in
tills State. Sinco then wo havo re
ceived tho assuranco of a large stock
holder in llouring mills in the
neighborhood of Salem, that there
is no foundation for tho statement
that there is hi Oregon any 'Trust'
among mill owners. On tho con
trary ho assures us that tho millers
are at all times in active competition
with eacli other for sales of their
products. And that furthermore,
instead of making money last year
on Hour all tho merchant mills lost
money; and that with tho present
downward tendoncy of prices the
prospects are Reed for them to lose
more money this year. "

FIRST DEATH FROM SMALLPOX.
Sorry Situation of the LaChappels
Salem's Quarantine Raised.
Judge Shaw last night received
information from N. S. Todd of
Woodburn that ono of tho LaChap
pel children had died yesterday
afternoon of smallpox. He further
related that Amadi LaChappel,
the head of the family and tho first
one to bo attacked, was lying at tho
point of death. Tho several mem
bers of tho family are all down with
it and aro in very serious conditions.
It is expected death will result in
one if not several instances.
The family, being so long sick
and under quarantine, aro in really
distressing circumstances and tho
county is a second time appealed to
for aid. The one nurse furnished is
nearly worn out and a new one is a
necessity. This wants will be
looked after by tho authorities and
they will not bo allowed to suffer
for nursing and tho necessaries of
life.
This mornlug quarantine which
has for so many weeks rested upon
North Salem was raised, the
Schawb family having all recovered.
Tho fear of an epidemic hero has
fled, and with tho complete recovery
of the five persons who wero afllct
ed the affairs of life and business are
entered upon with their usual
wont.

Lumber and Fuel.
In tho settlement of many of the
western states tho settlers were of ten
many miles from any lumber sup
ply and fuel had to bo hauled a great
distance, consuming a great amount
of valublo time. Hero wo have tim
ber on every section and there is
scarcely a township without its saw
mill, giving us an abundant supply
of building material at low figures.
Material for making brick is to bo
found in every lecality: limestone
from which a most excellent quality
of lime is made very abundant.
Comfortable houses can be built at

An editor is human. He is reliable to
grammatical blunders, toothache, typo
graphical errors and loss of memory, and
usually has twenty-live thousand people
watching to catch him napping. He is a
man ot sorrrow and acquainted with grief,
the landlord, the fellow who cashes sight
draft for the city bank, tho tax collector,
the intelligent compositor and proverty.
His children sport in "rags" while the man
who deals out the "ardent" next door
dresses his kids in qiddy height of the
latest cuts from Paris. He walks home
with a piece of liver or a 10-cent cut from
the stem end of a ham for his breakfast,
while the Dago who sells peanuts from a
goods box in the streets can feast on wines
and savory meats; and yet the woods are
full of people desirous to become editors.
