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

Our 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 or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives in an aggravated form, became
larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to
get up in the night 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 CUrtcURA RE-
SOLVENT internally, and the CUTfc6RA 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 use,l less
than one half of q bottle of CUTrCUkA RE-
SOLVENT, a little less than one box of CUTI-
CURA, and only one box of CUTICURA SOAP.

DOES 1T PA Y.

The following should be some
what convincing argument to those
Oregon farmers who still cling to
the idea that wheat raising is the
sole profit of the farmer. There
is no disputiug the fact that Ore
gon fruit is equal if not superior
to that raised in California, and
that fruit raising is the coming in
dustry of Oregon, especially of
the Willamette valley, and the
sooner the Oregon farmer becomes
covinced of this fact the better it
Will be for him and the prosperity
of the state. The Pacific Press
says:
There is nothing more convinc-
ing than figures, and therefore
last months shipment of California
fruit by overland railroad should
be convincing evidence of this in
dustry growing in public favor.
There were shipped 1886 tons of
raisins, 6296 tons of dried trait,
1858 tons of canned fruit and $500
tons of deciduous fruit. The total
shipments aggregate 21,O79 tons
for the month of November, re-
quiring 21O7 cars to take the fruit
to its destination. Besides the
above, there were shipped 3793
tons of wine requiring 379 cars to
move it. Notwithstanding the
above heavy shipments, the cry
comes from the East for more
( fruit.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.

Our agricultural colleges may not
be all that it is claimed for them,
and often are criticised by sound,
practical and successful farmers
and horticulturists, who believe
that a boy should start his educa-
ton in the field, and like a young
tree grow up surrounded by
mother-earth. There was a time
when such method was proper.
That time has passed. A farmer
and gardner of to-day must not
alone possess mechanical skill and
diligence, but education as well.
He will never get educated hoelng
in the field or scraping in the barn
yard. The agricultural college al
tords him the very education he
needs. If naturally industrious,
boy or young man will find the
college his best friend. tie will
return from it a better farmer and
a more intelligent man. 1t is true
that many young men who have
attended college fail to go back TO
the farm. This is no argument
against the college, but simply
goes to show that young men seek
what they deem a more suitable
profession. We cannot make a
farmer out of young man who
hates the pursuit. The few that
do return to the farm exert a pow
rerful Influence in their neighbor-
hood provided they apply their
learning properly. Let such men
successfully grow crops or feed
stock. and the chances are that
their neighbors will be profited.
One good farmer in a community
is a great educator, and if this
farmer is a college graduate the
ultimate improvement in the farm
ing in the community can be
traced to the agricultural college
Give the boys a thorough educa-
tion and there will be no danger
of their "knowing it ALL" for well
educated man is usually aware OF
his lack of knowledge. The man
with ga little learning" is a dam
gerous man, and usually the most
CONSPICUOUS one in rural districts.

of his employer letter of recon-

postmaster to notify the editor
that his paper is not wanted any

THE INDIAN MESSIAH.

The excitement among the In
dians of the Northwest in regard
to the coming of a Messiah among
them grows with each succeeding
week. 1t is said that there is no
fear of an outbreak against the
whites, as the Messiah comes to
command peace and prohibit
bloodshed. It is to be noted, how
ever, that those who accept the
truth of this Messiah most firmly,
and are most stirred by his COM
ing, are among the bitterest ene-
mics of the white race. The
promises held out to the Indians,
too, are not of a kind that can be
gained by pacific means. They
do not incline him to cultivate
field and to work and to make
home for himself, but rather to re-
turn to his wild life and his savage
nature. According to the most
accurate reports that can be OBJ
tanned, the prophecy has been
made that the Western continent
shall be given back to the red man
and the plains covered once more
with the innumerable bufaloes.
The whites shall disappear utterly
from the land, and no barrier shall
be placed to the rowing hunter
save only the great waters of the
sunrise and the sunset seas.
Against belief of this kind in a
barbarous mind it is impossible to
argue. The very facts which to
the educated man are destructive
of superstition, are to the ignor
ant a confirmation of its pretenses.
Thus we are told that one of the
chiefs who has been in the East
and has seen the wonderful things
of civilization, finds in them only
a reason for believing the miracu-
lous prophesies. "Among the
white men," he said, 81 was
shown a machine through which |
could talk with a man a great way
off. This was very strange, and
so are these things which it is said
are going to be done; yet it is true,
and so it may be true that the buf-
falo will come back again and the
white man be driven away
Against such philosophy as this
reason is unavailing. The Indians
have no cause to love the white
man, and in their revengeful
memories they doubtless cherish
many causes why they should hate
him. 1t will be we'll therefore
that the people in the vicinity OF
the reservations should be watch
full and the garrisons strengthened
for nothing but fear can prevail
over a madness where it is vain te
| look for affection. A war with
the Indians while their natural
ferocity of nature is intensified by
fanaticism of a religious character
would be terrible and would prob
ably not end until nearly the
whole race was eXtermlnated
Gladly as we would like to see al
parts of our country freed from
the savages we would not like il
freed in this way. When the In
dian goes we would have him van
ish utterly. We do not wish hin
to leave his trail Of blood upor
land where are to be the homes Ol
our children.-San Jose Mercury

THE RAILROAD RESPONSIBLE.

The State Board of Railroad
Commissioners, after an exhaust
i've inquiry into the causes of
the Lake Labish wreck on
the Southern Pacific road last
week concludes that the COM
pany's theory that the removal of
a rail by some person caused the
disaster is not we'll grounded, and
that the real cause of the wreck
was the insecurity of the bridge
across the lake. This was the con-
lcluslon. of the coroner's jury and
the investigation by the railroad
commission which has been care
fully and thoroughly made. The
company has been given every op-
portunity to bring out evidence to
substantiate their theory, but they
could not convince the commission
that they were entirely blameless
in the matter.
So, until the railroad company
can prove conclusively that some
designing rascal did remove a rail
for the purpose of wrecking the
train, the responsibility for the ter
rible disaster must rest upon the m.
WASHINGTON has given the Aus
tralian ballot system of voting a
square and fair trial at the late
election, and it has proven itself
to be grand improvement over
the old style method Of casting
ballots. 1t leaves no room for
fraud or humbuggery, and instead
gives every man a chance to poll
the vote of his choice without in
Perception from ring politicians.
and leaves no chance for bribery
on the part of hoodoo campaign
ers. 1t is the proper way to fill
public offices with good, reliable
and painstaking officials, who are
able managers of public affairs
and who are not machines in the
hands of scheming corporations
and party factions or rings. Ore
gon is in need of more whole
some ballot system, which will
give its voters the liberties neces
sary for the casting of an honest
straightforward and consisten'
ticket, undaunted by the expostu
lations of hypocritical and tyran
nous party faKirs who are ever
conspicuous at the polls. The
Australian system has proven it
self equal to such emergencies, ant
it is the prayer of the people thai
the next legislature adopt it.
