The policy of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company. too, is doing a
reat deal to promote the settlement and
dovelopencnt Of remote regions. Two
little extensions, the Moscow and Pataha
branches, alone added $4,000 tons to
the years surplus. In these new districts
the acreage will expand greatly next year
and their surplus is expected to reach
100000 tons and possibly more. Other
branches wik be built just as soouas bust
ness. warrants. There will be an extcn-
sion from Colfax to Farinington aud
another from Pataha to Lewiston almost
certainly next year, and each year follow
ing'new sections Of country, now scarcely
populated at all, will be tapped. Mr.. John
Muir, traffic manager of the Oregon

that in five years from now there will be
in the eastern country Ave acres in cult
vatien for every acre now in cultivation.

fetched roar of mortal agony that
went rolling down through a whole

against all Ohio Prohibitionists in
particular and against everybody

The 'I'rfbune's Nutshell.

The study of the drink question
in switzerland brings out some in
teresting facts. 1t is found that
alcohol is most largely consumed
in the cantons where wages are
lowest and the people are the poor
est. That is to say, overwork, ex-
posture and insufficient food drive
the people to strong drink. There
is nothing new in this, but temper
ance reformers in this country do
not usually bring it out 50 clearly
as it is brought out by the temper
ance party in Switzerland. But it
is an aspect of the question that
deserves the attention of all friends
of temperance. It is about time
that something was done to arrest
the evil by reforming the drinker.
For until the drinker is reformed
and stops drinking, nothing, hu-
manly speaking, can prevent the
distiller from distilling and the
seller from selling. That is the
whole question in nutshell.-N.
Y. Tribune.
1t takes politicians and political
editors to get the Temperance ques-
ton into nutshell.
Prohibition is good when there
is no campaign, and no danger of
its drawing Temperance votes from
Whisky parties, but when it is
likely to hurt some partisan plan
or prospect, then they suddenly
learn "it is time something was
done to reform the drinker," and
so they chase the question into the
moral suasion" nutshell, and try
to keep it there till the campaign
is over.
