REPUBLICAN OArs.-Last year we
received sample of oats from farm
er living in the Big Bend country
i'll Washington, who was a former
resident of this county. He had cultl-
vated the grain and found the yield SO
large that he wished to introduce the
specie in this section. We did not
know the name of the oats and took
the liberty to call them Republican
oats. The sample sent us was given
to various farmers in this vicinity for
trial. among whom WAS Mr.. aHarring-
ton, who resides one mile west Of this
city. The portion received by Mr.
Harrington was about three ounces
from which he raised l6 pounds of
oats, the straw of which was about
six feet tall. This grain seems to be
adapted to our soil and climate and
yields about twice as heavy as the Or
dinary oats.

Threshing of fall wheat has been in opera
tion. The berry is, rs Il rule, large and
plump and it is considered to be ext good
milling wheat. Portland price this morn
ing is 81 cents per bushei which is about
10 cents per bushel more than was paid this
time last year. Yields of from 25 to 40
bushels per acre are generally reported.
Mr.. w. Fl. Goudy, of Hubbard, Marion
county, threshed out $40 bushels of wheat
from a field of % acres. This field has
been in continual wheat cultivation for 35
years. The cool weather in the mornings
retards rlpening of spring grain and causes
grain to be rather tough for threshing until
the sunshine becomes warmer. In Curry
county four crops of alfalfa, blades about
twenty-five inches long, have been cut this
year up to July 25th, without irrigation.
Oats are heavy and good crop. Serious
damage is feared from the hop louse
Peaches, corn and melons are fully an aver
age crop. Watermelons are now ripe in
Josephine county.

AN IMPORTANT BILL.
THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER CONDEMNED r
THE NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER CONDEMNED IN
THE NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.
Last Monday Mr.. Kelly introduced the
following bill in the assembly. A careful
reading of it will show that it is a very i'm
portant one.
AN ACT to prevent the use of poisonous
and injurious ingredients in baking powders,
WHEREAS, Baking Powders manufact-
ured in this state, known as the ''RO YAL"
alum and other Baking Powders are adver-
tised for sale as absolutely pure; and,
WHEREAS, Official examination show
them to contain ammonia and other iniuri-
GUS ingredients; therefore The PEOPLE OF
THE STATE OF sNEw YORK, represented in
Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows
Section livery can or package of bak-
ing powder containing Ammonia offered for
sale in this State shall have conspicuous
label thereon with the words Contains Am
nonla'' printed thereon in plain type, not
smaller than great primer and any person
who shall sell, or have offer for sale, any
such can or package of baking powder with.
out such label thereon, shall be guilty of
misdemeanor.
Section 2-This act shall take effect

SELLS BROTHERS CIRCUs.-One of
the largest and best shows now in ex-
istence has come and gone. The
morning was cloudy and threatened
rain, which, perhaps, kept many from
coming from a distance who otherwise
would have attended, and the fact
that this is the season when the farmer
is busy in the harvest field, accounts
in part at least for the small attend
ance at their performances, as their
large tent was not fourth filled at
either the afternoon or evening prrfor-
nance. The street parade which took
place at about 1890 Il. m., was one Of
the finest professions that has ever
passed through our streets, but the
crowds that usually gather here
on circus day to witness the parade
were not as large on this occasion as
heretofore. The show, and especially
the circus, was a tirst-class affair, and
we feel safe IN saying that none who
attended regret having done so. The
large corpse of employees were unusual
ly quiet and no disturbance WAS Gre
ated by them during their stay. The
menagrie was not as large as that Of
some shows, but was as good as is
seen this far West.

II You Want to Get Gloss on 1t-How

Brush and brush you hair, If you
want to get that lovely gloss that
society girls are 50 eager for. Give
your hair 200 strokes every night be-
fore jumping into bed.
Don't be afraid of brushing it too
much, The more you brush the more
gloss you get. If your eyebrows 6re
thin brush those, too, with tiny
brush, and if they don't curve to suit
you get q tiny comb and train
them in whicheve direction
you wish them to 20. Brush
ing keeps them in good shape, and
1t is so much easier to brush than to
trim them. Besides, If you do not un-
derstand how TO trim them properly,
you are apt to look funny when they
grow out again. If yoa wish to keep
away wrinkles, sleep on your back.
You will have bad dreams if you do so.

Sleeping on your side causes wrinkles

you prevent those little wrinkles near

TERRACED MOUNTAIN.

A Mexican Pyramid with q Spiral Road
way from Its lsase to Its summit,
During the recent visit Of jesse H.
Grant and Charles j. Wimp1e to
Sonora, Mexico, on business they
were much struck with the sight OF q
terraced mountain. It is located
about fifty miles southwest of Afagda-
lena The mountain is circular In
form; about three quarters of a mile
In diameter at the base and is ter
raced from base to peak. The height
Of the terrace 10 from ten to twelve
feet and in many cases is built of solid
masonry. At many other places it is
cut out of the solid rock. The road
way is from fifteen to twenty feet in
width, starting at the base Of the
mountain and coiling itself spiral
like to the peak of the mountain,
which is not less than 1900 feet
higher than the base Of mountain.
The{cost of the construction and cutting
out of the solid rock Of this terraced
road must have been enormous. and
the remarkable feature of this wonder
Is the state of Its preservation. Here
and there the masonry has yielded to
the crumbling influences Of time. but
these are exceptions.
At the base of this terraced noun
tain is mighty rock, which has tho
appearance Of having been hewn out
Of solid rock. and weighs one hundred
tons or more. It is placed at the
mouth of what appears to be the en-
trance to this terraced mountain.
Here another query Is suggested.
Does this door to the mountain open
the way to mineral treasures ortt to
the shrine Of the ancient vestal virgin
who kept eternal watch. on the sacred
fire which was never suffered to die.
One thing is certain, there is wide
field for those near at home who
wander far into Egypt and Persia to
study the mysteries Of the hidden
past.
