oHIoAGoS GREAT GoUGE

Chicago papers are busily en-
gagged in diffusing information
that hotel and lodging rates at the
worlds fair will be very reason
able and even cheap; and, in proof,
submit the following as the aver
age to be charged, ascertained by
a systematic canvass of the city:
Single rooms, single bed, one per-
son, $1.36; double room, double
bed, one person,$2.12; double room,

double room, two double beds, two
perons, $3.50; double room two
double beds, three, persons $4.15;
double room, two double beds,
four persons, s5 $50. The Chicago
press has unwittingly shown that
the agougeo is to be universally
practiced by hotel and lodging
house keepers, and private land
ladies anxious to turn more or
less honest penny by renting
rooms. The prices are outrageous.
A respectable and comfortable
room, for which In Chicago the
charge will be $2.12 per night,
can be obtained IN Corvallis for
fifty cetns.

A PAPER WORTH HAVING.

The old saying that nothing succeeds
recr of the Rural Northwest. which was
founded in Portland, Oregon, little over a
year ago, and has already established itself
as The leading agricultural paper of tho Pa.
say that the success of this paper is simply
the result of merit. It is no cheap concern
made up Of stereotype plates and stale clip
pings, but is bright, crisp and clear, filled
with original matter which hits the condi-
tons that exist in the Pacific northwest.
Ameng fruit flower sit.is an especial favor
ite, as it makes horticulture leading fea-
tire. and gives the best and fullest reports
published Of he meetings of the state korti,
cultural societies Of Oregon and Washing
ton, and includes among its regular contrib
utors in this department such men rs. Prof.
Lake, of the Washington agricultural col.
lege; Prof. Washburn, of the Oregon agri-
cult, raj college. A. T., Hawley and others
of eminent ability. The dairy department
is maintained with no less viger, as indi-
Gated by the fact that its editor, H.. NJ. VIII
hanson, holds the position of secretary of
the of the Oregon State Dairy Association.
Live stock and poultry are not neglected,
nd progressive agriculture is the spirit
which animates the general management Of
the paper.
Among special features are It's depart
ments devoted to the ssHoise Circle and
..Among the Farmers" The latter depart
ment is very popular and SPECIAL feature
with this paper.
One OF the peculiar merits of the Rural
Northwest is that everything IS treated
from the practical standpoint OF the produ-
Ger. This handsome 16-page paper, pub
lished twice a month. is a paper well worth
it's subscription. price of one dollar per
year, and one that every farmer, fruit
grower and dairyman should have and keep.
1t gives us pleasure to announce that we
have made arragements by which we are
able to offer it as a premium to all new sub
sczihers paying us for one year, in advance.
We c. uld secure some of the Eastern farm
papsrs o. much less cost to ourselves, but
realize TIE fact that for this section the
cheap class OF Eastern agricultural papers
are scarcely worth having, and not to be
compared in value with the Rural North
west.

THE Mask THROWN ASIDE.

A very large number of good
people voted for Mr.. Cleveland
at the last election because they
believed in what he said about
the necessity Of sstariff reform..n
Others, again. like MI. William
Steinway, believed in protection,
but did not go SO ar ias the Mekin-
ley bill, and so they too, voted for
Cleveland. Others wanted free
raw material, bat protection for
our manufacturers, and they voted
for Cleveland.
Previous to election we steady

no doubt sincere, people desired,

TIMBER RESERTE.


One of the most important as
well as extensive reservations of
public lands yet made, it is said,
will soon be accomplished by a
proclamation from President Har-
gison. The proclamation is made
under act of March 3, 1891, as to
timber reserves, upon the recon-
mendation Of one Of the special
agents of the interior department
in Oregon, and 1t creates a great
reservation Of the public lands in
The state of Oregon, commencing
at the Columbia river on the
north and running nearly through
the entire length of the state.
Behind this is a petition from va
rious persons, and also from the
state officials, who represent that
this reservation should be made
because of the valuable timber
within it, and of its being the
watershed of the rivers flowing
through western Oregon to the
sea.
The length ofthe reserve is 234
miles. The area is..7020 square
miles and there are 44,492,506
acres within the exterior bounda
ries. 1t embraces the crest of. the
Cascade range of mountains and
includes the east and west slopes.
1t is found that in this proposed
withdrawal there are 125, ,O00acres
of school ndsvswhicll, being I'M
surveyed, can be withdrawn and
the state thus become entitled to
indemnity. The rule of the de-
partment. recognizes this right to
indemnity where the exterior
boundaries of a reserves are suff
ciently defined to incIose the re-
serve. Any entries, filings, loca-
tions and claims of bona fde set
tiers are expressly excepted from
reservation by the terms OF the
proclamation.

THE Nj TONS FIGHTING FORCE.

The result Of the census Of the
military and voting forces of the
country just published ina census
bulletin give an instructive view
of the growth of the United States.
By law every male citizen be-
tween the ages of Is and Al is il
able for military service, and can
be called outin case of hostjlities.
In this reckonisn the national mi
litia Of the country is Is, S,230,168,
This enormous force, however, is
subject to many deductions. The
proportion unfit for military duty
the invalids, the weaklings and
those not coming up to the mill
tary standard, to say nothing OF
the lame, the halt and the blind
has to be deducted from these
numbers to find the actual mill
tary force on which this country
can depend. Probably little more
than halt of this paper force could
be brought into the ranks in case
of need. On the eve of the civil
war the census of 1860 gave a to
tai population almost exactly half
that of the census of 1890. In the
war the North enlisted 2.O1S, 200
men, allowing for those who were
enlisted two or three times. The
recruiting records of the South
were not kept, but the enlistments
altogether were not oyer ], 900. GOO.
The South took every available
man, but the North still found re-
cruits coming in at a fair rate
when the war closed. It's proba-
bic that the actual fighting force
of the republic at that time was
thus about 3,50O,0oO. An esti-
mate Of z 600, 600 possible soldiers
out of the Is. .23O,168 is as near To
the actual fighting strength OF the
country as we can get. This
force Is not an army; it's only the
raw material. Yet it is not a
force that any nation would care
TO have raised against it.
