The Penitentiarv.

City Marshal w. II. Moorhead re.
turned from Bismarck on Sunday. He
accompanied Sheriff James as assistant
in conveying Robt. Walker to Bismarck
last week, who has term of two AMI
one half years to serve. Mr.. Moorhead
saw all the Pslnbina county contingent
at the penitentlary, including Facey.
Morris, Fisher and Rondeau. Alt OF
them expressed satisfaction with the
food and management Of the prison but
Of course felt tired Of the confinement.
Fisher seems to take it the hardest OF
all. Immediately upon entering the
prison, the convict is put into batl, tub
and then shaved and his hair cropped
close. A description Of the weight,
height, and marks aud scars is taken
aud kept for reference in case of escape
or future recognition. The convicts are
employed ut various jobs about the
building or grounds under charge of the
guards, but do not haye to work hard or
long hours. The prisoners enjoy the
privilege Of books and papers, and those
who choose have the benefit of good Ill.,
struction in the common branches.
Ropdeau is one Of the scholars and his
prison life is likely to be benefit to him
int.e end.
T.. James Moorheatl, son of Marshal
Moorhead. who has been guard at tile
penitentiary for about two years is doing
well and las been promoted and is now
second in authority. James has many
friends l'efo who will be glad to know Of
his success.

HOW TO BUILD UP A TO WN.

Big Bend Empire: A neighbor-
ing exchange wants to know what
makes one town grow into city
while others with good locations
remain villages. 1t is because in
the one case there are men of
push and energy who are not
afraid to spend their time and
money to boom their town. They
erect substantial buildings organ
ize stock companies, and establish
factories and secure railroads,
work for public Improvements,
and use every means in their
power to induce people to locate
in their city; they send newspapers
and circulars to every acqualn-
tance whom they think can be in
duced to visit their place; then
the attractions are shown to him,
and he is treated with so much
kindness that he falls in love with
the city at once. A town only
succeeds when it begins to work
for itself.

PPoF. M. G. MULHALL, the British
statistican and free trader, in re-
cent report, says that while the
English free trade has been bene-
fetal to manufactures it has been
ruinous to the farmers, and he
gives a table showing the decline
in agriculture in the past fifty
years. Those who are familiar
with the history of England in the
'40s will remember, during the
agitation of free trade, it was ad-
mitted to be against the best in
terests of the farmers, but desiring
to give the greatest good to the
greatest number, and the farmers
being in the minority their claims
could not be considered. In the
face Of this, however, there are
Americans who advocate free trade

IT seems that Wallis Nash has
some friends wno approve of the
course taken by him in relation to
the Agricultural College. The
Salem Statesman says editorially:
Wallis Nash, who IS just now be-
ing abused by certain papers of
Oregon for his connection with the
State Agricultural college, has
been one Of the best friends of that
institution, and to his efforts is
largely due the acing Of that
school On the firm footing it now
enjoys-and the making Of it an
agricultural college in fact and in
purpose as we'll as in name. For
this work the agricultural classes
of Oregon owe to Mr.. Nash debt
of gratitude, instead Of abuse.

OREGON has 100000 acres of
forest and from this timber estate
is growing a lumber trade of an
nually magnifying proportions.
The development of this industry
by decades shows something quite
equal, if not surprising anything
in the ordinary estimation of trade.
From 1850 to 1860 the lumber
product of this state was 6O,000,-
900 feet. From 1860 to 1870 it
was 125.O00,000 feet, a trifle over
twice the output of the preceding
ten years. From 1870 to 1880
25O,OOO,OOO feet, still the ratio Of
double production in ten years.
The total output for the decade
closing 1890, is estimated at 500,-
100000 feet, exactly double that
Of the preceding ten years. The
rapid introduction of inland trans
portation facilities is just begin
ming to touch the vast belts of
timber, lying less easy Of access
to river facilities, and bringing
them into shipping communica-
ton with the marts of the coast.
The attention being given this par
ticular Pacific coast industry, by
Michigan and other state capital
lists, is visibly productive Of re-
suits. The exceedingly low price
of forest lands, averaging some
thing near $3.50 per acre, and the
steady pressure of domestic, and
foreign lumber demand combine
to make the field one of specially
attractive nature.-Commerclal
Review.

IT is very important that a
movement should be made to put
publid improvements under the
control of private contractors and
not the war department. The
locks would have been completed
before now if this plan had been
adopted. 1t is yet time to have a
change made in this regard, and
the united sentiment on the part
of the northwest would accom-
plish this result. The jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia would
progress much more rapidly under
a new regime, and all internal i'm
provements in this state. A move
ment in this regard should have
been made years ago, and more
effective work would have been
done; but it is not too late to mend
matters. Work under contract is
much more expeditions than under
control of the war department,
and the great necessity of the pro-
ducers of the northwest is an open
river from the highest navigable
waters to scabord.-Times Noun

SKINS ON FIRE.
With Itching, Burning, Bleeding
Eczemas Instantly Relieved
by Cuticura Remedies.

Onr little son will be four years of age on
the 25th inst. In May 1855, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in physician. who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little OF no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives in all aggravated form, became
larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing We were frequently obliged to
get up in the nj ght and rub him with soda
In water strong liniments, etc. Finally, we
called other physicians, until no less than
six had attempted to cure him, all alike
failing, and the child steadily getting worse
and worse, until about the Goth of last July,
when we began to give him CUTICURA RE-
SOLVENT internally, and the CUTICURA and
CUTICURA Soap externally, and by the last
OF August he was nearly we'll that we
gave him only one dose of the REsoLvENT
about every second day for about ten days
longer. and he has meyer been troubled since
with the horrid malady. In all we used less
than one half of bottle of CUTICURA Re-
SOLVENT, little less than one box of CUTI-
cURA, and only one box of CUTIcURA SOAP.

IT is not likely that the amend
ments to the Mississippi constitu-
ton, adopted by the recent con-
vention, by which the great mass
of blacks in the state are to be
disfranchised, will be submitted to
the people for ratification. If that
were done and all were permitted
to vote the amendme nts would be
defeated; so those who have en-
gineered are convinced that "rati-
fication by the people is not nee
essary." When this disfranchise-
ment is accomplished, it will then
be in order to reduce proportion
ately the representation of Mss
issippi in congress.-Toledo Blade.

THE REVETMENT.

The United States Government,
with characteristic financial policy
has placed some piling along the
bank of the Willamette river at a
point about one mile east of Cor
wallis, to protect the banks of the
river and if possible to prevent a
threatened change in the channel,
which change should it occur,
and is not improbable that it
occur, would leave Corvallis high
and dry a mile or more from the
river and with several costly ware
houses, mills and a water plant
completely ruined or at least badly
damaged.
The work done on the revet-
ment practically amounts to moth
ing although it seems to have con
sumed an appropriation of $14, 900
to get what little is to be seen for
it. The citizens of Corvallis, to
tell the truth, have not taken that
interest in following up the revet-
ment idea which their interests
demand. The consequences may
be that the Government, seeing an
apathetic state of affairs regarding
the interests Of this work in the
locality most affected by it, may
not see fit to continue the appro-
pria tions for it, and, to the mind
of this writer, in such an event no
one but the citizens most interest
ed will be to blame.

THE returns Ui' he electi on in
Maine last Monday are not very
encouraging to the democrats.
The republicans have swept every
thing, carrying the state ticket by
a larger majority than at any
time since 1866. Gov. Burleigh's
majority is over $4,000. Reed
was elected by larger majority
than ever before. Boutelle and
Millikeu also win by increased
plurality. Pine Tree state has
most effectually endorsed the re-
publican administration and re-
publican methods in congress.
