John G. Martin, who recently assist
ed in farmers institute work in north
western Iowa, received some very
plimentary notices from the local
press. The Paullina Times says: Mr..
John C. Martin, of Wisconsin, a prac-
tical farmer and thoroughly educated
in the farming profession, delivered an
address on the apparently dry subject
of grasses" but before he got thor
oughly started it was evident the dry
subject would be clothed with consid-
erable life, and many points were
brought out not heretofore considered
by our farmers. At the close of his
remarks he was made a target for a
running fire of questions, which were
carefully and satisfactorily answered;
and if the suggestions are acted upon
the information he impaired will be
worth many times the price of the
time spent in listening to him." The
O'Brien County Bell, published at
Primgar, where he lectured on "The
City of London" at the evening ses-
sion of the institute, says: "Mr. Mar
tin is very pleasant gentleman, and
bright as dollar. He has had con-
siderable experience in his own state
in advancing the interests Of farmers
and organizing Institutes"

Now that thermometer is lowering
around the twenties and we feel the
necessity of additional clothing to
protect our bodies from the i'll effects
of this sudden fall in temperature, we
must not forget that the dumb animals
under our care need the same provis-
ion against the windy blast that we
ourselves require-we are compare
lively fee agent, they are entirely
dependent on us for their physical
wants-we can measure our exertions
to suit the temperature; theirs depend
entirely upon the mercy and judgment
of their owners. Hence the necessity
of providing your work and driving
horses with suitable covering, so that
their perspiring bodies will be pro-
tected until their heated conditions
will resume its normal temperature.

Union Pacific Boats.

Astorian, A great deal of Importance
has been attached by some to the state
ment made Q few days since that. the
Union Pacific contemplated thea sale of
some of its boats. The statement was,
tits said, based on the grounds that the
company has decided to get rid of it's
old boats. How many of them will be
'classed as old has not been learned, but
judging by the report that the r. R.
Thompson had been offered for $40, 600,
it would seem that all, with possibly the
exception of the. T.. j. Potter, will be
classified as spperannuated. A state
ment comes from Portland that Capt. J.
H. D. Gray, of this city, has been in
conference with some of the powers that
be in Union Pacific circles with a view
OF purchasing those of the steamers
that the company has decided to
part with, but no agreement could be
arrived at, the terms offered by the
Union Pacific not being quite liberal
enough for the. captain. It;was further
stated that Mr.. Gray had been endeav-
oring to enlist capital in Portland to en-
gage in the venture, but with what sue
cess is not sated. There is likely to be
some excitement in Steamboat circles on
the river if he should succeed.

Now that navigation is SO nearly re-

push an inquiry: ''Who is responsible
for the destruction of The Dalles and
Sandy wagon road?" That wagon road
was built with the peoples money, pro-
cured from the proceeds of the sales OF
swamp lands. After it was built the
state turned it over to the counties
through which it runs. When the
Union Pacific railway was built the road
was in many places '.turned over into
the river" In other words the railway
construction gangs did about as they
pleased with it-mostly to ruinit; prom
ising the authorities to make the road
good again. They have never doEe so.
The road is now very much needed, and
the peoples authorities should see to j.
that it is restored at once. ttA word, to

PURE FooD IN CONGRESS-.

Action Which Has Resulted in the On

Baking Powder.
The act OF Congress authorizing the
examination of the baking powders has
resulted in a most unprecedented COM
pliment to The Royal Baking Powder
The tests were made in the Government
Laboratory at Washington, and the Of
fetal report shows that the Royal is su-
perior to all others in leavening strength
being over thirty per cent. above the
average. The report also shows the
purity of the Royal Powder and the
wholesomeness of its ingredients.
This is probably the highest eompli-
ment of an official character ever paid to
proprietary article, though no more
than the great army of baking powder
consumers would expect in behalf of
their old friend and ffavoritef
The result of the official examination,
as thus determined, will, of course, make

ment purchases.
