In 1885 Oregon had bnrcly one hundred nnd ninety thousand peo ple. There is u reason for this slow increase. In tho same length of time the hnrd, stern climate of Neb raska received some live hundred thousand additional souls during which Oregon had received barely twenty thousand The cause of this slow growth is in tho utter indiffer ence of our people to that wise and liberal legislation Unit induces pop ulation to como here, wo have no homestead exemption law. On that subject as on so many others, state legislation lias listened only to tho privnto interests of narrow cliques. Tho day is coming when nil this must be changed. Why not yield gracefully now? How Htrango that all the comfort and interest of tho great masses of people, tho women and children, nro forgotten or despised while tho schemes and prejudices of a few in certain occupations aro favored. Strange to say, little or no provision has been mado to further the in crease of llsh in our streams. Small its this matter may seem to men of gigantio intellect, it is yet of great importance to tho welfare and com fort of thu people. And not only do wo neglect to provide for tho In crease, we fall to protect what we have against ruinous methods. Is there t people in Oregon ? Then lot their voice sound forth on tltese and kindred subjects. A HINECUIIACY. The penate in its exceeding liber ality has choser to increase tho number of railroad commissioners by one. We will now have three commissioners, if it become the law, at a salary of of twenty-five hundred dollars each, and a clerk at two thosand dollars, to do nothing. The amendment proposed by Mr. Irvine that said board shall have the power to fix the maximum rates of freight to be charged by the various rail ways of the state, within tho state between all points in the state, was voted down. It was said that the reduction made in 1887 diminished the receipts of the O. R. & N. lines by $105,000. How such calculations are made wo do not understand. Generally reductions increase re ceipts by increasing business. Tho enemies of cheap postage used to reason in the same way. So many million letters aro now carried at twenty-live cents, etc, Ifyoti re duce to ten cents you deprive the post office of fitcen cents on so many million letters, each. Postage is now one and two cents and revenue increased. Mr. Veatch thought there1 was nothing in the bill but salary. The Board will cost tho Stute some ten thousand per year. Good, fat, easy positions for some parties. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Breezy Corrcsponpence From the Towns Around Us. JIOXJIOUTII NOTES. l'llO AN1 CON. Heavy appropriations aro made by tho legislature and everything is douo to increase the burdens on the tax payers, and at thu same time the very men who aro tho most ae tlvoinallthe.se schemes are must opposed to a homestead exemption and laborers' lion. What does this mean? Logically, it means Unit while wo inereiuso tho revenues of the state, wo diminish the sources of their supply; while wo double tho burdens on tho peoploofour state wo do all wo can to actually dlseour ugo immigration into our state. Gentlemen, if you will spend money uofieolyyou eerhiinly ought to do nil you can to increase tho number of your tax payers. Shame on a (Unto like Oregon to allow itself to be governed by a narrow minded few who stand in oven their own light ihy opposing such popular legislation its would create n homestead and Hon laws. The National W. C. T. U. passed a resolve that "Christ and His gos pel shall be king and code sovereign in our government and our political affairs." In this kind of effort some Roman Catholics are aiding the W. C. T. U. As In the past innumera ble denominations have been fight ing, throat-cutting, burning, tortur ing and hanging each other on dif ferences of opinion as to points fun damental respecting this code they would establish for our political gov ernment. We can hardly imagine what sort of government we shall have in case they succeed. That they tolerate each other now Is ow ing solely to the strong arm of that free and equal constitution they would overturn. They have procur ed fourteen million signatures of women and children to their peti tion. Millions of the ignorant colored people of the south have signed ("or been signed"). Could they succeed, tho consequences would bo dreadful. But this feder al constitution, made andmalntniu ed by tho blood of so many heroes, Is not to bo undermined by folly. Tin: Senate passed Layman's high license bill. Inasmuch us all tho towns and villages of Oregon aro incorporated and reguluto these matters for themselves a license or any other bill on this subject can have very little eflect. Half the people of the state aro in cities and towns. Tho other half does its browing and drinkiugof grog in the towns. Several new students this week. The fellow who would growl at this weather would quarrel with his mother-in-law. The farmers are taking advantage of this fine weather and have their work well along. Tho Normal band was out on Cupid's Knoll Sunday and favored us with some fine music. We have four literary and debat ing societies in connection with our school all in good working order. xne Atnietcs are to give an en tertainment at Independence soon. They made a success here and will no doubt be appreciated there. Prof. Thompson Haley of Cali fornia gave a lecture in chapel Mon day morning.

Farmers are talking of sowing wheat this week. Knock-downs and knock-outs are getting to be an every-day occur rence in this section. Wheat has again taken a tumble, 07 cents being tho top price. Our saloon men say they will raise whisky to 25 cents a drink if the high license bill passes. Woodburn will soon bo a. city. She has some men of Intelligence, brain and ability who are capable of ruuning her affairs, but they don't edit newspapers. Gazette. P tT DnVAl baking II i K aw Absolutely Pure.

Tin: restrictive Intlueneuot a tax nu a product of labor is shown in the statistic of thu tobacco crop of iuo United States. This crop had toon doubling every ten years up to the year 1802 when thu heavy tax was imposed. In 1S30 thu product was ono hundred million lbs. ; in 1840 two hundred millions, in 1R50 four hundred millions, and now it hardly exceeds that amount, where iw it nhould bo over two billion pound.

There is one curious fact in con nection with a colt's teeth which I have never seen printed. It is this : Unless he has his front upper teeth ho cannot use his tongue nor obtain his natural nourishment. Wo lost several young colts before the discov ery was mado that they starved to death. They will not suck unless they havo their upper teeth. We were told to rub tho teeth through with any hard substance, and did so with satisfactory results, will somo veterinary surgeon explain why a colt nppears to bo unable to use his tongue without those front teeth ?

Rehro of Savannah, Mo., well known to all old northwestern Mls- sourlans who aro settled all over our coast, by mistako took a glass of aconite in a drug store at St. Joo and in a few moments was dead.
