The Peabody Gazette, closes a long
article on the silk industry with state
ment like this: ''At various times and
in various places sericulture has been
tried, but has always met with failure
and always will until we have a profita-
bic market for cocoons. To be con-
sistent, congress should either put on the
tariff and make a market, or else cease
to spend money trying to induce people
to engage in the business at a loss"
Why not place bounty upon its pro-
duction, as is proposed III the case of
sugar-that seems likely to be transferred
to the free list?

Prof. Wiley, the government chemist
IN the department of agriculture, has
been making some important @ scientific
revelations lately. a few weeks ago he
testified before a congressional investi-
eating committee that cotton seed oil
lard was purer and better than old fash
toned hog lard. Now he testifies that a
very fine article of syrup can be made
from old rags by pouring sulphuric acid
over them. The 'fes seems to have a
special grudge at the West, but he will
hardly be able to ''diffuse' enough bile
into our pig pens or sorghum patches to
seriously injure the product of either.

The settlement Of Northern Oregon,

the settlers began TO feel that the coss-

been settled earlier than the country

latter was oversha9owed by the form

The history OF that portion Of the
Pacific Coast north oi the Columbia
river, 20 far as il II known 10 thr rare
nov occupying Il, may be divided into
three distinct periosis-.the era Of ex-
ploration and discovery, beginning
with the discovery OF Puget soansi In
l3g BY Apo~tolos yaIefiauus. com
monty known as Juan de Fuca. and
closing In 1871 with the arrival in Orr
eon Of the waean train piiotsi across
fhe continent by DR.. Marcus Whit
man; the era Of settlement, beginning
with the arrival. of Whitman wagon
train and closing in iss; with the end
al the Indian war In favor OF the
whites; aud the era of occupation, be-
rinning with the date last mentioned.
md continuing until the present day.
OF course this division Il made for
+. convenience alone. the two great
events which divide the periods being
+ arbitrarily chosen for that purpose
The settlement Of the country had be-
ean In very small way before nr.
8ufkNlA0 iAtkftft~ jtafttE} VI NN-H-
ington. and in o certain sense the era
.oi settlement stiil continues. but the
names chosen for the three periods
may he accepted as indicating them
with sufficient accuracy, II may he
said that prior to Whitnan's journey
10 serious effort was made looking 70
the settlement OF the country and that
with the breaking OF the power of the
Indian tribes the success OF the Amer
iran settlement WIS assured. The era
of uncertainty had passed.. There
could no longer lie any qee sion that
The American settlers would eventual
y drive away the Indian. destroy the
forest and possess the country for
themselves. Their task thereafter
was 10 occupy the country which had
been won for hem during the era oi
settlement. and Il Is for this reason
that the peISol subsequent to the
