A report Of the secretary of state
was laid before the senate last week
giving information concerning the
average production, consumption, ex-
portation and importation of wheat,
rye, corn and cotton of forei gn
countries. According to the report
calculations and estimates submitted
prove, as far as statistics can prove
under the circumstances, that the
stock of wheat on hand in Europe,
at the close of 1888, did not materially
differ from the stock on hand at the
close of the previous year; that the
wants of Europe are imperative and
great as in 1888, and the demands
upon the United States should natur-
ally be as great as they were in 1883.
How long Europe may or can draw
upon her reserve stock, or what the
exact considerations which control the
several countries, especially the United
Kingdom, which May be said to regu-
late the wheat markets of the world,
time alone can develop. The report
also states that the most liberal allow
ance for the wheat output necessary
to the worlds consumption the United
States should be drawn upon the pres
ent year fer l77,0OO,o0e bushels, in
round numbers, against l9s,00o,0oC
bushels from all other wheat growing
countries. 1t thus appears that the
United States, instead of being con-
trolled, should be able to control the
foreign market.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

The Benton County Republican Con-
ventiun met at the court house in this
place list Saturday and did its work
we'll A full ticket was nominated
composed of good and able material.
John A. Henkle, of Philomath, W. P.
Ready, of Alsea Bay, and M. j. Con-
nor, Kings Valley, long residents
of the county and well identified with
its interests, were nominated as can
didates for the legislature. They are
all men of ability and well qualified
for the positions.
e. H. Hawkins, of Monroe precinct
and G.. G. Newton of Philomath pre-
cinct, were nominated for county COM
missioners. These gentlemen have
both been residents of the county for
80 years or more, and are both in the
prime of life. They are both able
fnanciers and understand well the
interests, wants and needs of the
county. There are no men in Benton
county who are better fitted to look
after the interests of the county than
Messrs. Hawkins and Newton.
Sol King, who has served the
county for the last three or four terms,
was again re-nominated for reelection
Mr.. King has made good officer and
is kind, obliging gentleman and has
always been working steadfast in the
interests of the county. His heart
and purse has always been open to the
wants of the poor and needy, who al
ways find in him a steadfast friend
He is good man and efficient officer
and it is needless to say that he is
just as good as elected now by a ma
jority over his opponent of three or
four hundred
Benton county has had B. W.
Wilson as her County Clerk for about
Is years in order to give him fair
trial in Office, and the people having
become convinced that he is one of the
most able and efficient clerks, the con-
vention therefore re-nominated him in
order that the people may now keep
him in Office for a while. Bush has
been one of the best clerks in the State
and the people would suffer much in
convenience to lose his services in that
capacity. 1t is needless to say that he
will be reelected.
Z. J. Blair is one of the oldest resi-
dents of the county, having resided on
his farm near Corvallis until a few
years ago when he bought the ware
houses II Corvallis, where he has since
resided. Mr.. Blair is a kind, agree
able gentleman and will make an eff

experience and acquaintance with the
people of the county affords him ad-
vantages in making them good officer.
Mr.. Edgar Grimm was nominated by
acclamation as the candidate for Super
intendent of Common Schools. Mr..
Grimm is young man about 80 years
of age, havinga fine education and is a
man of much ability. He is a son of
Judge Grimm of M arion County and a
genuine Oregon pioneer, born and
raised in Oregon. He graduated with
high honors at the Corvallis. State
Agricultural College few years ago
and afterwards went back to the State
University of Michigan where he
again graduated with much credit to
himself and honor to our State. While
attending the University of Michigan
he gave special attention to the depart
ment of agriculture and after his re-
turn to this State his services was pro-
cured by the board of regents of the
Agricultural College here to give his
whole time and special attention to
teach the chair on agriculture in the
school. He is Jealous and hard
student, a man of answering integ-
rity, possessed of high sense of honor
and in every walk of life maintains a
high moral and social standard, and
last but not least he is man in whose
hands every person can with safety
and the utmost confidence place the ed
ucational management of their children.
When elected Superintendent of the
public schools of this county those
bulwarks of American liberty and
free government will be under good,
faithful and efficient supervision.
Geo. Mercer, who has only lived in
Benton county about 80 years or more
and with whom nearly every person
in the county, old or young, is well
acquainted, was nominated by accla-
mationi for County Surveyor. Mr..
Mercer has served the county as sur
veyor for perhaps Is Or 20 years be-
fore, and seems destined to be reelected
from time to time for the remainder
of his life. He is practical surveyor
and has made good, efficient officer
AMI will doubtless be reelected.
Perry Eddy, who has served the
county as Assessor for the last two
years, was re. nominated for another
term. Mr.. Eddy has made goodS
efficient officer and has come nearer
than any Assessor before him in full
filing the law governing assessments,
although it is commonly said that an
Assessor cannot be reelected to sec
ond term yet it now remains to see
whether the people will sustain and
re-elect an Assessor for doing his duty,
or whether they will defeat his election
because he did do his duty in assessing
them as the law required him to do.
DR.. T. V. B. Embree, amid great
applause and in opposition to his ear
nest protest, was unanimously nomina-
ted as the candidate for coroner.

Cruelty TO Animals.

Persons travelling on the one mule city
railway cars on Seventh street are getting
very much Disguised with the way things are
managed on that line, on the hill between
Cedar and Wabsshaw streets, after 9 o'clock
at night All through the day an extra
horse is stationed at the corner Of Cedar aud
Seventh streets to help the single
mule up the hill with his car,
but at 9 O'Clock this steed is Withdrawn
and oftentimes after that hour a poor beast
with q full carload trying to get up
that steep would make Henry Berg, OF New
York, both weep and swear. On Tuesday
night, in one of these scenes, four passen-
gers and police officer, to the credit of their
kind hearts, got out and pushed, and last
night Officer Switzer righteously stopped a
full car at Cedar street and compelled the
driver TO await the arrival of the car follow
ing him and to double up mules on the
ascent. The company should be compelled
to keep relay horse at this point both night
and day.

Canadian Freight Classification.
lspecial Telegram % &c Globe.l


CHICAGO, Dec 17.-George L. Carman,
commissioner Of the Northwestern Traffic
association, has issued the following i'm
portant notice: AS some misunderstanding
exists as to the ruling under the Canadian
joint freight classification, which applies on
shipments destined TO Manitoba on car load
shipments Of mixed freight, your particular
attention is called to rule 2, printed with that
classification, which is as follows:
'Mixed freight of various classification
shall not be taken at carload rate, but each
description must be weighed and charged as
per classification. The definition of the
term carload is 10000 pounds, except
where classification provides for different
weight of one article shipped on one day
from one consigner to one eOnsignee, from
one point TO one destination. We
are advised that lines north of ST. Paul require
that these rules be strictly adhered to. and in
cases where seperate weights on car loads Of
mixed freight are not given the following
rule will apply: Car loads OF bonded freight
delivered TO the lines Of the association at
terminal points without being properly classi-
fed at first class rates, the
minimum rate for 10000 pounds.
This ruling is intended TO cover
mixed shipments Of dressed meat and poul-
try. sugar and syrup, butter and eggs, and
articles Of q ike nature"

After Railroads and Telegraph Lin es.
Special Telegram to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Senator Van WICK
to-day introduced two bills of considerable
interest to the people west Of the Missouri
river. Ten years ago the sparseness OF the
population afforded railroad and telegraph
companies ground for charging much higher
rates than were charged east of the Missouri.
Since then the population and business have
greatly increased, but there has been no
proportionaie lowering Of rates. Van Wyek's
two bills prohibit any telegraph company or
any railroad company which has been char
tered by the general government or received
any aid or franchise from It from charging
more between the Missouri river and the
Pacific than the average telegraphic and
freight rates between the Missouri and the
Atlantic.
