some Hints In MaKI3g Them Slightly and

 This is the season of the year for that subject, "fences," to occupy great deal of the stock-farmer's mind, and to have yood ones must also occupy a good deal 1T his time or money, The question as Q the "bc fence" is still unsettled, md will ever lc, as circumstances and place make first one kind and then the other best. l am not an advocate for hedge fences, but where man has one on his farm along the railroad or high way. think the best thing to do is to use it.
 Tho old-style way of cutting down to make 1t thicken up has proven very un- satisfactory for many reasons. The through Middle Tennessee and North Alabama few years since Is . failure, because in a few years the bent-over portion will die, or be starved or shaded to death by the sprout that grows sttaight up from just above the root; the dead wood, because of shade, soon rots, and is easily broken out by pigs and calves, offers but little resistance to cows and none to mules
 There are long strings of hedges two, three and four years old, all over the country. that now do nothing but in cumber the and. 1t is next to impos- sible to get rid of it by grubbing, there fore the best thing to do is to utilize it.
 Here is my plan, and if followed to the letter will make satisfactory fence Of course the plants must be good, stout and thick enough, say ono to the foot, though slSips of two feet can be closed in one years time.

FOR TEMPERANCE MEN.

Voters Of this county, let us go to
the polls and elect temperance men.
1 have been looking over the demo-
cratic and republican tickets and 1
find there is a sufficient number of
solid temperance men to fill all the
offices. I do not mean prohibitionists
particularly, but good, square, temper
ance men; men who believe in tenn
perance from principle men who be-
lieve in temperance because Of the
bad example that whiskey and its in
fiuence is setting before our boys.
Whiskey drinker, did you ever stop
and think how many homes you had
made miserable, not alone your own
home, but others? Did you ever
think how many mothers you had
caused to lay upon their beds restless,
sad, sleepless, and shedding tears over
their darling boys, because you had
asked them to take drink, and be-
cause they give way under your infiu-
ence? Then, if you have never
thought of this before, for humanity's
sake stop and think. If you will
drink, if you are determined to 60 on,
and on. in this way, for PHYS sake go
alone. Do not drag somebody's boy
down with you. This has got to be a
serious thing, and must be met seri-
nusly and squarely. Officers, do not
ask our boys to drink, please do not.
Office seekers, please do not ask our
fathers, our brothers, our husbands,
or our expected husbands to drink.
Voters, we have this question in our
own hands. You ask, in what way?
Do not vote for man who would ask
you, or your son, Or anybody else's
son to take a drink. Throw away
your old party ties for the time being,
and quietly go to the polls and sup
port temperance men; men who are
wall qualified to fill the offices. We
certainly have the majority in favor
of temperance, so let us see what we
can do in this coming election. These
things are worth thinking about, and
worthy of being acted upon. Hoping
that this article may set some one to
thinking upon this subject, as they
never thought before, am very re-
spectfully yours, on the side of tenn
perance, c. B. WELLS.

THERE is no better jurist on the
bench in Oregon to-day than Robert S..
Bean, the republican candidate for
supreme judge. His record as cir.
cult judge will bear favorable scrutiny
compared to any of his brother justices
in other districts in the state. He is a
merciful judge and yet one who never
swerves from his duty. He is an ardu-
Gus worker, and when other men sleep
Judge Bean may be found laboriously
"wading through manuscripts, and

fore, that his decisions usually point
to the correct legal and equitable con-
clusions.

mortalized in Tennyson's Charge of the

remunerative avocations of alternately

does not give any assurance that he can
be either methodical, efficient or sue
cessful, and in contrast with the work
of Hon. E. B. McElroy is placed in
position at once conspicuous and ridic-
ulous. Prof. McElroy's record speaks
for itself as one of the best ever made
in this department. And his long
devotion to one party shows his con-
sistency while his active service in
defense Of his own country is not to be
forgotten. Besides the genuine digni-
ty with which Prof McElroy finds him.

AN ABLE REPRESENTATIVE

/ The postmaster general is getting
pretty well acquainted with one mem
Der of congress. His name is Binger
Hermann. The mossbacks in.congress
Iare learning to fear him. He. has such
a: faculty OF securing for the people OF
his state SO, many mail facilities, and
appropriations, and other benefits that
Ithey are beginning to have a better
Fidea of the "Far West" than ever be-
fore. Until Mr.. Hermann began to
get his work in in good shape it would
seem that an unusually large number of
congressmen had an idea that a pack
trail was good enough for those "uncul-
tured Oregonians" and a tri-weekly
mail good enough for ordinary locali-
ties. Mr.. Hermann has taught them
that Oregon is just as good country,
and has just as intelligent people, and
just as legitimate claims to their con-
Islderation as any other state in the
union. The press dispatches daily re-
veal the traces of his invaluable efforts
for the interests of the state and not
only just pending this election but this
has been the nature of his work for
months back. A congressman as we'll
as farmer has to plant before he can
reap. Mr.. Hermann certainly has
sown an immense crop in the interest
of Oregon and Oregon's interests de-
mand that he remain there to garner
it. He has secured large amount
on the appropriation bill for Yaquina
and is also urging a place for Alsea.
And he knows how to help the bill
through intact. He is forwarding as
speedily as possible the opening of
Slletz reservation and has his eye on
the bill affecting the public surveys, he
knows and feels the wants of the peo-
pie in this respect and will not hesitate
to present their claims in the strongest
light. He has been of infinite service
to all the persons holding lands do
mated to the heirs of persons who died
on the way to Oregon in an early day;
to quiet all such titles and this was a
matter of no little importance and
trouble. He is ever attentive to the
requests Of any of his constituents
and any favors wanted in Washing
ton meet with ready and willing re-
sponse. To perform all of his multi
farious duties requires quite an amount
of training. 1t is safe to affirm that
Mr.. Hermann's work in congress has
been vastly more beneficial to the state
the second than the first term Of his |
service. And this stands to reason
for he has learned many of the intri-
cacies of the department, has made
many friends and has acquired a |
knowledge of the methods by which |
diplomatic and other work is done and |
this knowledge can only be gained by
experience. Mr.. Hermann is the man
for Oregon and he will by reason of
their growth and his accumulated skill
reap still greater benefits for his state
the next term than Oregon has ever
had before.

Il PICTURE-IN THE MIND,

Picture in imagination d lonely
youth with "lost" expression wend-
ing his way through the tortuous wind
ings of department corridor looking
up the chief law clerk or some other
"chief' functionary of the interior de-
partment in the interest of some poor,
isolated but honest settler who has had
the misfortune to have his land claim
suspended by some of the wise men
there; and you will recognize in his
doleful countenance the features of
Bobby Miller, Mr.. Hermann's oppo-
nent for representative to congress.
How long could Roberts back sustain
the burthen of "thank you" traffic i'm
posed on Oregon's representative
No, Bob. 1t will take a man with
more strength in his loins and more
vertebre down his body than your
youth has yet acquired to "get there"
as often and as effectively in the inter
est of this constituency as Binger
Hermann does.
Picture again new member from
Jackson county, Oregon, with his
daily mail to dispose of. Private sec
retary opens it and reverently submits
the morsels for Roberts digestion.

chise and a revetment appropriation,

lege of using iron truss and no draw.
