ReY. P. A. Moses has made q very
able presentation of the subject above ;
and has come to the conclusion that,
with some exceptions manifestly neces-
sary, the mounds of the American con.
tinent are the results of natural causes.
Antiquarians have never mistaken
natural hills for artificial mounds, and
the mounds, taken severally, present
too many objections to Mr.. Moses con-
clusion. His arguments, good as they
are, show but one fault. They show
that he is not personally familiar with
the mounds. The argument that the
absence. of any trace of place from which
the earth Of the mound, could have
been taken, shows the mound to be q
natural one, is answered in Poland,
where huge mound is made Of earth
brought from every battle field in Po-
land.
Again. take the same fact relative to
The Pyramids of Egypt, Solomon's an.
cient temple, and the cromlechs of all
ancient Gallo territory. No trench is
found near Birs Nimrod, the supposed
ruin of the tower of Babel, yet it rivals
the mounds of America Ia magnitude.
Time and space do not permit more
now but Mr.. Moses theory will meet
mighty objections.

August 10Th, 1885.
Harvest Is about over 10 this part Of
Wehfoot, and farmers are jubilant over
the yield, especially fall grain.
There is plenty Of fire on ell sides Of
as. and the smoke is terrible on the
eyes, timber falling IN every direction,
consequently we are kept busy looking
after the interests of the people In the
way Of keeping the road clear.

and fishermen. We understand Mr..

BAKING POWDER TRAMPS.

The danger to the public health from the indis-
criminate use of the many lime and alum baking
powders Of commerce has been so fully exposed that
everybody desires to avoid their further use.
The propretors of some Of the worst Of these pow
ders are now going from house to house, trying by
means Of trick so-caled test with heat and water
to show that their article is as good the Royal
Baking Powder, which everybody knows is absolutely
pure and wholesome, the object of course, being to
supply their own goods in place Of the favorite Royal
which housekeepers have for many years relied upon
to produce light, wholesome, and palatabe food.
The housekeeper will do well to be her guard
against these baking powder tramps Every intelligent
person knows that any goods peddled from house to
house in this manner, that given away in sam
Piles, sought to be introduced by secretly traducng
the character of other goods well known to pure and
reliable, have no merits of their own and have failed
to find purchasers through legitimate means.
AS matter of fact one Of these tramps is trying to
introduce powder that has been found by the Govern
ment chemist to be 1185 per cent ime and the other
peoules poWder CnaL ~ ~ per cent auhi-Ohc pow
erful caustc, the other corrosive poison.
No such tricks juggery deceive any one.
The crucial test that the Royal Baking Powder has
undergone during the last quarter of century-the
test of actual and successful work in the preparation
of pure and wholesome food under which it has
yet faled-is entirely satisfactory to the practical
housekeeper She has always had "good luck" with
it in making light, sweet, and delicious bread biscuit
and cake, and has placed it. to stay, at the head of
her housekeeping favorites The Royal Baking Pow
der has the reputation everywhere of being the best
and the only pure baking powder made and the
baking powder tramp who attempts to supplant its
place in the confidence of the housekeeper viii find
this q bad year for his business.

The course pursued by the rapnblican
organs Of sectional hate and strife IL
bearing legitimate fruit in the desertion
from that party Of many Of It's most coa-
scientious members. Among those who
prefer to maintain their manhood TO bo-
ing promoter of i'll feeling between
the north and south ia p. III. Dowling
Postmaster of Teledo Ohio. Hear
what he says, and every reasonable per-
son will say that il is but a just indict-
ment Of the foolish course Of Republic
can leaders who desire to keep tho fires
Of sectional hate burning between south
and north:
''I cannot indorse the Republican plat
form nor vote the ticket longer, because
tho party continues 20 appeal to seq
tional passion, while the patriots who
formed il never shared in such feeling.
The present leaders are asking for its
supremacy on the assumption that over
half our citizens are enemies To the
Government. All patriots ahould re-
buke this falsehood. The party has
drifted into the hands of men Of whom
Gen. Grant said They did not &c.
enough fighting during the war, and
are doing their lighting now. Men
should not 5e deceived into believing
that another rebellion il brewing, when
the air is voiced with jubilee Of peace
and good will.
For many years the platforms Of the
Republican party have rnpg out for
economy and purity of public service,
aud yet when man has been found
who, like President Cleveland, makes
vital these very principles, they turn
round and denouucs him as an enemy
Of the Government. President Cleve-
lands course rs Governor 10 simply be-
ing repeated on a grauder scale /; every
branch of the public service has profit
ed by the reforms inAugurated, and the
result will be- the saving Of millions oi
dollars to the people ani better civil
service in this county. President
Cleveland deserves the support Of every
thinking American citizen irrespective
of party in what he ie doing. Holding
tho views l do, | most emphatically

CAOTs ~ TnE sOUTm,

The Baltim re NaaatIcturas Record
publishes nearly dve pages Of special
reports covering the whole South, from
Virginia to Texas, showing that the
prospects, for crops aud the outlook for
business ia that section are remarkably
good. Not only Is tho acreage Of the
cotton, corn and tobacco crops the
largest on record, but the reports are
almost unanimous in stating that the
yield of these crops, as we'll as of small
er crops, (except wheat,) will greatly
exceed the best crops ever before pro-
duced. II is also shown that the crops
have been made at lower cost than in
any preceding year, aud liens on crops
for money advanced to farmers is much
less than heretofore.
Official reports from South Carolina
show that while that State will produce
about four million bushels more corn,
and probably over three hundred thou
sand bales of cotton more than last
year, the aggregate amount Of the agri-
cultural liens given 20 obtain ad vances
uron growing crops is three million
dollars less than in 1885,, ,notwithstand-
ing the fact that the intervening years,
1888 and 1884, were unfavorsble crop
years.
10 Gsorgia, the Agricultural Depart
msnt estimates the corn crop at forty
million bushels, against thirty-oue
million bushels last gear, ard twenty.
four million six hundred thousanl 4
bushels 10 1888.
Regarding cora, reports from the
whole Sla,h are os the most flttering
cha-acser soyne stating that the yield
will be tas f,r years, olters the
best foI twenty years, end many the
best ever kno~n. 1t is thought by the
.. s. Commissioner of Agriculture that
the Increased acreage in corn over last
year ADD ths splendid yield which il
now assured will give the South not
less than City million bushels Of corn
more than last year. The cotton crop,
it is believed, is safe for much the
largest Yell ever made, and for at
least one million t. one million Eve
hundred thousand bales more than lest
year. OF tobacco, fruits and vegetables
the crops are the largest ever made in
the South while rice promises a
splendid yield, and sugar far more
satisfactory aud profitable crop than in
1884.
Stimulated by the unprecedented
crops, business is already showing de-
cided Improvement, and the prospects
in the sonth for fall and winter trade
are reported as unusually good. In the
organization Of railroad and nanufac-
turing enterprises, there is great activ-
ity, and the outlook for industrial in :
terests is particularly promising.

Manager SEoag On shs .. y.

Manager Hoag, OF the o. p. has been
interviewed with the following result, ac-
oordlng TO dispatch In Portland paper
"Wm. n. Hoag, general manager OF the
Oregon Pacific road, and also manager of
the Oregon Development Company, Is In
this city getting q crew for tho steamship
"Yaqulna." She II now lying ct Yaquina,
and will mako regular trips from san
Francisco 70 the initial point of the read.
This new line will bring the merchants Of
San Francisco Ia cloeo and cheap c.nnec >
ton with the heart Of that vast and fertile
region OF country known as the william.
cite valley. The nAvigable waters OF the
Willamette will bring 20 Corvallis vast
quantities OF cereals and stock. It Is the
intention OF tho managers OF the road TO
bring freight direct 70 San Francisco. A
fast steamship can make the run from
San Francisco to Yaquina in thlsty-two
hours. The bar &C Yaquina has depth
OF oftwenty-twe feet Of water at high tide.
AT the wharves. where large warehouses
nave been erected, there Is q depth OF
twenty four feet. The railroad, which Is
well built and fully equipped with rolling
stock, Will at once be extended eastward
from Corvallis into Idaho. and thus bring
into close commercial relations with San
Francisco fields Of trade hitherto inacces-
slDle TO our merchants. It is predicted
that the first result Of the opening of the
steamship line In connection with the
railroad will be reduction OF 81 per ton
IN favor OF the farmers In transporting
their wheat TO market, II Is stated that
the steamship "Yaqulna" will make three
round trips mOnth this season, Next
year another ship will be plsced on the
route. There Is hardly a doubt that San
Francisco will ultimately control the trade
Of this region OF country"
