IMPROVED Butter MAKING. = Il
seems that an effort is being made to
place Oregon butter on par with that
of Any State in the Union. Two dai.
ries at least, in this section, have or
dered the most improved apparatus for
making butter, being what is known as
the De Laval cream separator, a Swiss
invention, in which the cream is sepa-
rated from the milk by the action Of a
rapidly revolving disk, without the to
dieus operation of setting it out in
pans. By this method butter is made
within an hour from the time the cows
aIs MIXED The next move Will prob
ably be to invent a macAine into which
the cow can be put and the butter
whirlsd right out of her Let the good
work 90 ON, and let there be an end to
importing eastern lard as lubricator
for our bread. Oregonian.

Dean visits Portland for the first .ime

stop over in his first journey to the old
home, located near st. Joe, Missouri,

hundred emigrants, left twenty years

self as fairly bewildered at the wonder

was greatly emphasized to him yester-

Considerable money changed hands
on the result OF the election for Stale
Senator in this county.
There were no fights on election day
and everything was very quiet. There
was even considerable quiet voting.
The Oldest inhabitants were surprised
at the results last Tuesday and say they
will never try to figure out how Dayton
will &c again.
Mrs. J. K. Shaw returned home last
Monday morning She has been visiting

1t is remarkable what chances the
Democrats were willing to take last
night on Cleveland. They were per.
fectly willing to bet even up on the re-
suit OF New York.
The Pacific Coast has stood nobly by
the ticket and presented Blaine with
everything it had to give from the Rocky
Mountains to the Pacific. II was the
solid vote Of the Pacific Coast at Chica.

and now il he is elected, we can rest
assured that he is not a man to ignore
the vast interest Of the West or the sub
siantial proof OF its allegiance 10 his
cause, given him in the nominating con.
'vention, and on Tuesday last. No man
could have been put in the White House
more asle and willing to have a kindly
regard for the West, than James 6.
Blaine, His Chinese record is our pol

Colorado and The mining States showed
how sound he stood with them on the

Breckenridge and Rogers.

Congressman c. k. Breckenl idge, the democratic nominee for congress from this district, and Hon. Antho- ny A. C. Rogers, his republican op ponent, addressed the people of Rus sellville and vicinity at Jacobson's s Hall on Wednesday the lst inst. The debate lasted nearly five hours and the patience with which the people listened attested the deep in terest felt by them in the issues un. der discussion.
 Col. Rogers led of and began by declaring his faith and allegiance to the republican party, stating that their national principles and prac- tices were the best for the people, and he highly culogized Blaine and urged that Blaine be elected Presi- dent. He said that the farmers are doing we'll, and he denounced Maj. Breckenridge for fighting for the Morrison Bill The Col. thinks we are happy and that we owe it all to the republican party and to their policy of a high protective tariff He pitched into the democratic par. ty generally.
 Maj. Breckenridge denied that the farmers and other consumers of the country are getting their rights or that they are anything like as pros porous as they would be if the tariff was reduced.
 He showed why the Morrison Bill
