The Press-what a mighty power it
yields, and what sacred trust it

and decides with an impartiality and
exactness that is marvellous, when we
take into consideration the mutable
nature OF man, and his liability to err
in judgment. When, however, the
press falls into vicious hands, and be-
comes an aid of the Evil One, it is
just as powerful for harm; but the ex-
ceptions are so few to the general
purity Of the press, that they are
noted as abnormal curiosi,ies and en-
list attention only as monstrosities.
A lbidinous journal may excite the
plaudits of those who hail a sensation
or any departure from the conven-
tional rules OF propriety with joy, but
virtue turns her head and sheds tear
when she sees her greatest safeguard
prostituted to such base uses.

Cause Of the Lumbef Decline.

The Pacific PA, :.,.aber Co, OF San /,
Francisco, has sent us long commuu-
ication in reply to the paragraph 60
ing the rounds that the reduction OF
working time in all the sawmills on
Puget Sound is owing To an order j.
sued lay that company (thc lumber
trust OF the Racific, with headquarters
at San Francisco. 1t declares that
the paragraph is untrue, and is calcu-
lated to create a very unjust impress
sion in the public mind as to the OBJ
ject and purposes OF said company.
1t says that it is simply commission
house receiving the consignments OF
various mills located on Puget Sound
and other points on the Goa t, and sell
ing said products in all respects the
same as an individual con- 5nee would
1t has no part whatever in the con-
troll of the running time OF the mills,
and there is nothing in It's connection
with the mills On Puget Sound giving
it power to restrict their pro luction V
limiting running time or Otherwise.
Action in the past and at the pres
ent time in the direction of restricting
production is one of sc.i protection,
and ace! Upon by all the mills on
this coast shipping by way of the Pa
citic ocean save one, and such action
therefore includes mills that have no
connection whatever with the Pa
cific Pine Lumber Company. The in
centive to such course is one of self
preservation. There is piled in San
Francisco nearly seventy million feet
OF lumber unsold, without market, and
mills shipping to that port see no OBJ
ject in increasing that accumulation
when so doing means simply locking
so much additional money in dormant
stock
The trade from Southern California
has been merely nominal during the
past year, and there is an exceedingly
limited prospect of material increase
during the current year. The foreign
trade, fairly active during the latter
portion of the past year, is handicapped
by limited orders and limited tonnage
to handle such orders at the present
time, and equally limited prospects OF
relief in such direction in the future,
and as the Puget Sound mills have
been in the almost entire enjoyment
OF past foreign trade, the effect upon
them by this connection is obvious,
and their procedure vitality necessary.
As under these circumstances all
mills, whether connected with the Pa
cific Pine Lumber Company or other
wise, realize the utter absurdity OF
manufacturing lumber when there is
no market for it, in acting as they
have, they have done SO for the natural
best regard of their particular inter-
ests, with neither the desire to depress
business contiguous to their mills nor
with the slightest prospect that such
action will advance the price of lumber
as a result, unless the improbable con-
tingency occurs Of sufficient activity
in the general trade to absorb the
large accumulations already manufac
tured and awaiting purchasers.

Rotary PLow.-The East OregOnian
says: Mr.. Louis Bergendahl, of PEN
dleton, the inventor of the famous ro-
tary snow pillow, has turned his in
genuity in another direction, and on
December 18th, 1889, secured patent
for combined rotary land pillow and
harrow. One of these machines is
now being manufactured at the
shops, and upon completion will be
tested in the field. The pillow consists
of a number of knives which are made
to revolve and enter the soil in rota-
ton, thoroughly pulverizing it. A
harrow follows which may be detached
if not needed. The pillow can be al.
justed at will to enter the ground to
any depth desired. The invention il
expected to prove valuable one to
agriculturists.

The tide lands committee returned
here this morning after weeks junk
ct spent in examining different tide
lands on Puget Sound. During the
trip the committee devoted much time
to hearing testimony from various in
terests. Altogether about 10000 acres
of the lands were examined, of an es-
timated value of 81 100000.
Owing to the many different condi-
tons existing the committee decided
upon no definite plan of action. At
Gray's HarbOr, towns are built on land
taken up under government patent,
the lines of which run below high
water mark, and the riparian owners
there claim everything in sight. At
Tacoma riparian owners claim the
right to the wharf out to deep water.
At Seattle the majority Of the evidence
was in favor of State ownership. At
Port Townsend no tide lands were
found, in the literal sense of the word,
but improvements of great value are
involved in the settlement of the ques-
ton.
At Bellingham bay the people de-
sired that the lands be plated in con-
formity with the city plats and sold at
auction. Owing to the great amount
of testimony heard, the report of the
committee will probably be submitted
in Damphlet form.

BUENos AYREs, July 30.-The city is

own armed police to deal with maraud-
