Hon. Jeff Myers was up to Sodaville
this week and storped over in Leba-
non upon his return, and after an in
spectlon of the paper mill and look
around town expressed himself as be-
ing astonished at the remarkable
growth of the city. Mr.. M. has but
lately returned from an extended trip
through the East.
The question of a good Touring mill
for Lebanon is again agitatng the
minds ofsome and the prohabilitiesare are
that the long needed enterprise will
soon be engaged in turning out this

in town last week to see what could be
DONE He proposed that be and his
associates would take half or therea-
bouts of the stock necessary if citizens
of lebanon would take the balance,
and that lirst,class l00-barrel mill be
built here at once, power to be obtained
from the new ditch.

Mr. lssIltnr:


For the EXPRESS
AS long It's the Alliance was willingto stay
in the background and talk about farming
and Keep thcr tongues still on all other
questions, they were called allkinds Of pet
nan.eS tlattered and courted by the boss
politicians; but when it began to investigate
economic subjects then it was utled and
kicked BY all outsiders. Now bankers and
ring bosses call us all kinds of hard names
ana nothing is too mean forus todo.
We are glad 10 bG thus advertised and we
welcome all their criticism. All of the OPP
position to the Alliance is from one of three
sources. lst, the politicians ARE afraid that
all their plaus will be upset. they are all at
sea without chart orrudder and can make
no certain plans for the future. Ind the
baukers who have solong been exempt from
taxation, see the hand writing on the wall
and know their doomis sealed must
be taxGd-7it shall perform its part OF the
public burden, ID, whiskeyiles and saloon
nahobs have no latno part in this matter,
and we intend by che help of our wives,
mothers and the good Lord to kick them
out Of iho way.

THE SANTIAM MINES.
The New Machinery Now on the
Way-The Outlook Very
Encouraging.

[From Albany Herald,
Plans and specifications Of the Alba
ny Mining & Milling Company's new
quartz mill, which was shipped on the
steamship Willamette Valley and ar
rived at Yaquina Monday, is to be seen
in the office Of the Secretary, J. V. Pipe,
in this city. 1t is complete plant and
will cost when ready for work in the
mines between $25, 900 and $4,000. 1t
is ten stamp mill, each stamp weigh
ing $50 pounds, and its capacity is 80
tons perday. The mill and machinery
viii go direct to Gatesville, and from
there will be hauled to the mines on
wagons, the contract having been let
to j. M. Huston & Co., of this city.
The company already has small
mill and retort, and saw-m;ll, driven
by 40-horse power engine, now in
operation al the mines. twill require
about month to get the new mill into
the mines. In the meantime the COM
pany is working three shifts of men
night and day, running a lower tunnel
in on the ledge. A good many thou
sand tons of Ore are in sight ready for
work. Thirty tons of ore that will be
crushed in day will be reduced to a.
bout three tons of concentrates which
will be shipped to the smelling werks,
probably to San Francisco, or the Linn
ton works. The gold from the plates
will Of course be reduced at the mines.
The company has had accurate tests
made of the ore, and know what they
are doing. They have enough paying
ore IN sight to justify this outlay, and
before anyone hardly realizes it big
mining industry will be in operation al
our very door.
Other companies are arranging tc
put in machinery to work their mines
in the same district. The Albany
/ Mining & Milling Co. has erected .
| two-story boarding house and has sawed
over 100000 feet Of lumber for othel
buildings at the mines, SO i. can b,
readily seen that thriving camp il

THERE is some very poor champagne
or some remarkably temperate editors IN
Texas, At Il recent reunion of the east
Texas press gang the members returned
a basket Of the sparkling beverage I'M
opened to the donor. One paper Of that
state accounts for the very singular act
upon the theory that the editors didn't
know how to open the stuff. This is a
libel upon their Intelligence. Another
says they took il for gingcr-pop. Still
another declares thcy preferred whisky
straight. while the fourth asserts their
meeting was a purely business II and
not for the purpose of getting inside
points on irrigation Whatever may
have been their motive the TACT remains
that the champagne was returned un.

T.ANED no DEATH.

There is Just such Il thing as IA husi,
ness being taxed to death under the Nc
Kinlcy tariff. The New York World
mentions a case which illustrates this
fact. On the 10Th of this month the
Gilmore Eustis Rolling mills Of Cam
bridgeport, Mass, permanently went out
of business. 1t was the largest estab,
lishment in that state and probably the
largest in all New England. The reason
assigned is that the Mckinley tariff
taxed the raw material. That and the
interstate law made the business nc
longer profitable.
The World thus comments upon the
matter: THE business of iron-working
is dying in New England because the
Mckinley tariff forbids it the materials
to work with. The men engaged in il
must hunt for other employment, anC
the tendency is strong for the wooller
manufacture to follow the example un.
der stress Of tariff -taxcd materials in
spite Of the imposition Of an additions
cloth tax upon the people to support it.

now it is coming back and more with it
to pay for meat and brcadstuffs they

the Mckinley tariff. Speaking Of
