There j. nothing TO astound the country
in the corruption OF Belknap but the reck-
less manner in which he exposed himself 10
detection. During the last three years the
SEn has repeatedly and i'm various forms
CHARGED him with the crimes that are now
proven and confessed. Those charges were
specific. positive and damning. Under any
honest Administration thew would at once
have been sternly investigated. and their
truth. when proved, would have driven
him into exile under criminal prosecution.

FINE WOODS.

Yesterday we called at the ST. Charles
Hotel to inspect the various samples of fine
graded woods which have been collected and
arranged in proper condition for shipment
to Philadelphia, to be placed on exhibition
at the coming Centennial. These woods are
carefully arranged according to the quality
of the grades, in frames, each sample being
held to its place by pieces Of ribbons. These
eight frames containing as many samples.
Mr.. M. Wilkins, of Linn county, enjoys the
credit Of having grown six of the samples
on exhibition. One frame contains q speci-
men Of the finest grade Of Il CotsWold fleece,
another, a sample Of LEICESTER wool, while
four frames contain IN equal number Of
grades of improved Oxford wool. These
woods are of extraordinary fineness, and the
exhibition efthe same cannot fail to impress
the world most fayorably with the superior
grades of that article grown in Oregon. Mr..
Wilkins also has a sample of fine wool cut
from the fleece Of an improved Oxford lamb
only six months old, which for beauty and
delicateness of fibre can hardly be distin-
guished from silk. Mr.. Thomas l.. David
son, who resides near Salem, has two frames
containing extraordinary fine samples of
Wooltaken from the fleece of a Merino sheep.
All these specimens have been selected with
extreme care, and prepared with the utmost
taste. Such an array of woods cannot fail
to attract general attention and elicit flat
tering comment. The samples will be placed
in . compact box and shipped East along
with the cereals and other articles to be
placed on exhibition. Every precaution
will be observed to have the specimens reach
their destination in the best possible order.
Messrs. Wilkins and Davidson deserve much
credit for their efforts to place before the
world in the most advantageous light, one
of the greatest Observation-Disclosures
OF this State.-Oregonian.

The qualifications which in one case Wouid
make a great breeder, in another 1ail' pc
cause the Judgment and the skill nave no
chance of full exercise.
Another consideration arises. Greatness,
!, these a. in all human attributes. is COM
narrative. Distinguished greatness can be-
lono TO but a few. Are all men OF medium
saoacitv unfit for shorthorn breeding! Ii
co fit men are scarce, and the pursuit should
be conducted by the small minority. NOW
,ve do want the multitude to join in the
work of Improvement, and there are very
few engaged in stock-breeding who are not
nv nature and education qualified to do val
1,able service. In almost every district there
is some one head and shoulders taller than
his fellows in ability, and in knowledge OF
the subject, and above the local leaders are
the acknowledged chiefs. Let the lesser OF
every degree look to the greater for counsel
and example. ..The latter is public property,
the former seldom or never refused to fellow
workers in the shorthorn interest. Want OF
Judgment in line-breeding, and want OF
Judgment in mixing, must be held up as the
cause OF many failures, and much deteriora-
ton. nl-assorted alliances are frequent in
both systems, and also in that system, wise
in principle but not always wisely applied.
which combines the system of line-breeding
with that of mixing sorts.

STOCK RAISIN G..

Mr.. WEBB, Of Shasta Valley, has recent
1y lost a large number of sheep from deep
SHOWS and cold weather, as many as 500 are
reported dead out of one band.-Son Fran
cisco Bulletin.
We would suggest that Mr.. Webb drive
his flock of sheep to Montana, where he can
winter them in safety. Here the snow is
dry and never lies so deep but that sheep
can be kept in good condition without feed,
other than that furnished by the nutritious
bunch-grass which covers our hills and val
leys. Yes, come to Montana. Here you
will not be troubled with the deep SHOWS
and chilling rains so destructive to the busi-
ness Of w~ool-growing on the Western slope.
Here you will find millions of acres of the
finest grazing-lands in America unclaimed,
and a ready market for your sheep, if you
wish to sell them.

SHEEP.-There can be but one poor in
vestment i'll sheep, and that is an invest
ment in poor sheep.
There is no more luck in handling sheen
than in any other business. It is all man
agement.
One early lamb is worth two late lambs.
The late lamb begins as a "runt. !" and is in
luck if it don't die at the close Of the first
winter.
Go into sheep as a matter of business. Ex-
pect to give them your own time and your
W work. Success depends upon the
amount Of brains you may bring to the bust
ness.
Often farmers sell an Indifferent lot Of hay
at a price leaving them nothing over the cost
OF marketing it, which could be fed to sheep.
and get a good profit over and above the
cost OF production.
The sheep is the most timorous of domes-
NC ANIMALS, and, to those who are strangers
70 Them, appear to have the least sense : vet.
rom hrst to last, there is not an operation
necessary to be performed that cannot he

The Public Printing Bill.

We copy the following from the Alb
erdeen Examiner, promising that that
paper supported another for the honors
of the position than those who received
them. As to the Journal itself, we leave
it to the legislature to decide whether or
not the Constitution and the necessities
of the people require its publication. So
far as the Examiners comments on the
appendix to the Journal are concerned,
we will state that the law already pro-
vides that it shall be dispensed with, and
therefore it will not, and cannot be pub
lished at public expense. 1t will be seen
by the Examiners figures, "a disinter-
ested party that there is no fortune to
the public printer in the bill proposed.
In this connection, we would reiterate
our guarantee to the public that there
shall be greater reduction of ex-
penses in this, than there is in any
other department of the government:
The bill reported to the State Senate. reg
ulating the prices to be paid the official
printer for work done for the State, provides
that the said Public Printer-THE JACKSON
CLARIoN-shal furnish three thousand cop
les of the Acts of the present Legislature
at the price OF $500 per page for the number
OF pages contained in one volume, and that
said volume shall not contain any eXtrane-
Gus matter.
Admitting that the work will equal that
or the Acts of the regular session of 1875,
which comprises 2SS pages, including COW
ers, and it can hardly be much less in vol
ume. it will make the cost of the 5000 cop
les Sl.296. This is as reasonable a charge a.
the State could desire to entertain, for the
paper and composition will hardly cost the
Public Printer less than $500, so say nothing
OF ink, press work, proof reading, binding
wear and tear of material, and the thousand
ana one annoyances incident to work of
this character.
The price reported by the committee for
printing the journals of the two Houses, is
low enough for good work being 1915 a
page, for the whole number of pages in one
volume, but we insist that this expenditure
Is entirely unnecess ary, and may aggregate
INTO an enormous sum for instance, the |
journal of the Senate in 1874, mprised 662 |
pages, with an appendix" of 1862 pages. |
while the Journal of the House for the same !
year contained $50 pages, making in all, |
1904 pages OF Journals printed at the pub |
nc expense for the regular session. We do |
not Know what the Pilot received per page |
TOT this work, hut at 1915 per page, it would |
nave amounted to nearly $1,000; and GER
talnly was not dollars worth of service to |
the people.
