BENToNs ExHIBrT.-The VILLAIN
cite Valley, State Land and Loan Com
pany are doing some commendable
work this season. Through the efforts
of their agent, B. Johnson, they have
secured selection of from $50 to 200
specimens of grains, about 40 or so
jars of fruits, quite collection OF green
fruits and vegetables, and 40 varieties
of tomatoes, all of which were shipped
to Portland Monday to be placed on
exhibition, which opened at the me-
tropolis yesterday. From what we
have seen heretofore exhibited at the
fair, Benton county promises to carry
off the prize for grain and fruit exhib-
its this year. Every body should take
an interest III, ,and encourage this thing.
Much credit is due the company for
the brief time consumed in securing
the selection of exhibits, as the dis
play was gathered since last Friday.
Farmers who may wish to put their
fruits and grains on exhibit are request
ed to leave them at the company's
office in this city, where they will re-
ceive prompt attention.

/ The BRIDGE COLLAPSED. large
bridge that spans the Luckamute several
miles north of this city, on the road that
leads from Corvallis to Independence,
known as the Davidson bridge, collapsed
last Thursday, while band Of cattle were
crossing Twenty eight were killed out
right, and fourteen were wounded. They
were the property of Brown Bros, OF Soap
creek, who were taking them to Salem for
the market The forty-two cattle at first
refused to go across, but finally went with a
rush. The load was too heavy for the
bridge, and 100 feet of it went down, taking
all of the cattle to the bottom, distance
of forty Or fifty feet, with it, laming and
injuring the remainder, SO that nearly all OF
them died One of the Browns had just
driven his horse to the bridge, with the
front feet on it, as the bridge gave way.
But the animal was too quick, and jumped
back in time to save his own life and that
of the rider The loss of the owners of the
cattle is $1,000 to $500, while Polk county
will suffer equally as much.

THEIR WAYs.-It is more fun to see

THEIR WAYs.-It is more fun to see
a man read puff about himself in a
newspaper than it is to see fat, short
legged pig jump barbwire fence.
The narrow minded man will tickle
himself on the jaw and pull down his
vest, and chuckle little, and then
think that ''the earth, and the fullness
thereof" were made for him, and he
almost feels as though he ought to sub
scribe for the paper. The kind-hearted
family man goes home and reads it to
his wife, and then pays up his dues to
the paper. The successful business
man, who advertises regularly and
makes money, starts Immediately to
find the editor and speak a word Of
acknowledgement; and the two men go
out Of the sanctum, and walk thought
fully down the street together, and the
business man takes sugar III his, and
they both eat Glove or two, and life
is sweeter, and peace, like gentle
dove, settles down in their hearts from
that moment. 1t pays in the long run
to be kind to the newspaper man, and
for the business men to deal out little
cash occasionally for advertising, and
tell the editor that his paper is appre-
ciated. And in the evening the edito,
and the business man will go home to-
gether, and the lamb shall lie down
with the lion, and the young fattling
together, and there will be no hard
words about the tightness of the times.

called upon to read the minutes" of
the last meeting. The Secretary
thereupon, instead of taking up his
record book and reading his minutes,
took up a large clipping cut from the
GREAT WEST, read it through, and
then McGee, or some one, moved to
correct the minutes THAT is, COR
rect the GREAT WEST! Well, when
the Secretury and McGee invent
plan to correct errors in a newspaper
already gone to press we will guar
antee a fortune of seventeen million
dollars and 81 cents! If the GREAT
WEST failed to furnish a correct re-
port from Mr.. Stromberg's tumbled
MSS. why didn't he read his minutes
from his record book-and read them
correctly? Simply because-he didn't
have it and how could he! 1t was

deal OF discussion, during which the
fact was brought out that Eastern
manufacturers were selling it at X
cents a pound, while it was impossi-
BILE to make it at Saltwater at the

Star:

Pipestone Star:
The Pioneer Press states that last
year a prominent leader OF the ALI
ance party in Southern Minnesota
boug ght lot of cheap twine, called
the sisal twine, and had it colored
the color of pure MANILA, branded it
MANILA, which is the best twine
made, and sold it as such at a big
margin, all the Alliance men giving
him their orders. Hegaye it to them
at somewhat below the cost OF the
genuine article, but the buyers only
got about 420 feet where had it been
MANILA they would have gotten be-
tween 600 and 700. The inferior ar
ticle and the difference in length al
lowed this gentleman to realize some
thing like SIS, 900 on his summers
work. Now who is this prominent
Alliance man of Southern Minnesota?
The alliance men of the state know
who it was, Mr.. Star, and that is
enough. Why should the party press
be SO wonderfully interested in alli-
ance matters anyway.

INDIAN FACES.
To Most People Indians Look very Much
Alike.


To Most People Indians Look very Much
Alike.
There is quite as much diversity of
character among the individuals that
represent the various tribes of those
people as there is to be found among
the whites or Indo-E Europeans, says DR..
Shufeiot IN Natures Realm, writing on
the physiognomy of Indians. And, as
character determines cast of counte-
nance, we find an equally diversified
physiOgnomy among them. Some In
dians show in their faces more or less
intelligence, honesty of purpose. good
nature and evenness of Jemper; others,
the moment they look at U.s. repel and
revolt, for their features bear alone
the impress Of cunning, cruelty and
savage depravity. Among the tribes
in the southwest, where they enjoy
sort of crude form of civilization of
their own, which has long existed, the
physiognomy in many cases becomes
still more distinctive. Here other
factors come into play to help mold
the countenance and to insure its in
heritance. Not only has the periodical
con'duction of war and all that war
means, for generations, had its in
fiuence in this way, but to this ele-
ment must be added others.
For instance, many of the Navajos
exhibit a genuine taste for the accu-
mutation of wealth and worldly goods.
Number of them are rich in the pos
session of great herds of sheep, and
they have very fair understanding of
the value of money and its advantages.
The elements of their civilization
and the impress of our own civiliza-
tion have no doubt produced their ef-
fects, and where such factors are most
actively at work, and have been ap-
piled the greatest length of time, there
can be no question that thes Indian
character has been influenced by those
means, and in certain instances we may
detect it in their physiognomy.
Those who have ever compared the
features of typical representatives of
the sedentary Indians with the physi-
ognomic characters as presented in
the countenances of similar individuals
among the field tribes, can not fail to
have seen the marked differences.
People who have lived for ages as
have the Moquis and Zunis in their
peculiar, semicivilized state must of
necessity in time produce a very diff
ferent appearing class of men as COM
pared with individuals selected from
such tribes as the Navajos. already
mentioned, or from the even still
tiercer Apaches.

A Call

Has been issued for a National Pro-
hibition Conference by alliance men,
at Prohibition Park, Staten Island.
The call is signed by hundred or
two, OF whom the following are from
this state:
E. Hoidale, Dawson.
R. H. McGee, Wyoming.
c. F. Bohall, West Union.
Mrs. Frank Valesh, St. Paul.
Ulrich Sem, Sr., West Concord.
Jos. Askew, Manahga.
Nels Guam, Norway Lake, etc.
We wish to make but a single COM
ment on the above, as we believe in
prohibition, and have put in extra
ordinary work in that field. That
comment is to ask what Mrs. Frank
Valesh signs that call for!! Mrs.
Valesh is bitterly hostile to prohibi-
tion. She has argued against it with
bitterness and intensity at our
home and in this office and elsewhere!
If such persons, whose relations to
the alliance are doubtful sign such a
call it looks as If there was a mighty
African in the woodpile!"
Such call should meet with a tre-
mendous response, though there is
bad look about the matter from this
state. 1t meets on August 10th.

General Grants Log Cabin.

''Thirty-five years ago farmer
built log cabin in St. Louis county,
Mo-, for less than 5000. and few days
ago the house was sold, without the
land, for $4,000.
The farmer who built the cabin with
his own hands and the help of few
neighbors was Ulysses S. Grant. At
that time he saw nothing before him
but life of toll and poverty, and yet
in after years he became the general
of the army, the president of the
nation and stood before kings.
MANY an American president
many an American millionaire
begun life in log cabin; in fact this
humble home seems to stand at the
beginning of every typical American
career.
''After Grant had reaped all the
rewards and honors of success, he
bought the old log cabin. In the White
house-in his stately mansion-in the
palaces of kings and emperors this
silent man OF destiny was always look
ing back to the days when he cut and
hewed the logs that were to shelter his
loved ones and make a home for them
while he cheerfully toiled for their
support He was proud of his old
farming days in the backwoods and
fortunes favors never made him
ashamed of honest labor.
LAS an object lesson the old log
cabin that Grant built is richly worth
5000, and much more. When
American boys look at it they will see
that in this country mans success
and position do not depend upon an
advantageous start in life. The fact
that boy is cradled in the lap of lux
ury does not assure a bright future.
The farmers boy, earning his bread
by the sweat of his brow, is, if anything,
more likely to admire greatness than
the curled darling who is born in the
palace of the plutocrat.
There can be no faithful picture of
American life without the old log cabin
1t is the nursery of the good and great
men and women whose heads and hearts
stamp their work upon our laws, our
literature, our civilization and our
national progress.
"When we honor the old log cabin
we exalt the American home. AT
