The good advertiser is a much
more valuable citizen TINA he gets
credit for being. He is a pusher
for trade. He recommends his
wares not only to the citizens OF
his own city but to thousands out
side of it. BY bringing trade to
his own house he increases the
prosperity of all about him. More
than that, he does mitch to favor
ably impress those who have oc-
casion to patropize him. If a city
has good advertisers it is generally
understood that itspeop1e are active,
energetic, prosperous, and if these
people have these characteristics
the city must also have them
This is All active generation ard
people like to go where there Is
activity. People have cause to
know that activity follows adver-
tising and the crowd always seeks
what is best advertised, whether i,
be a private business or. a COM
munity for that reason. .-Tacoma

On Monday c. G. Rawlings had
Mr.. Boyd, the photographer, to go
up to Mrs. Simons' and take a
group of five generations, such
group as one will hardly see IN d.
lifetime. They were all Of the
feminine gender, the eldest being
Ior years old, while the youngest
was three and a half months. The
group consisted of Mrs. Simons,
aged Ior years, Mrs. Joe Welt,
aged "a years, Mrs. J. H. Clelan,
aged "a years, Mrs. G. G. Rawlings,
aged 90 years, and Mrs. Rawlings
baby, aged three and halfmonths.
Whether it is on account of such. a
healthy country that members Of
this group have reached this age or
not we are unable to say. But we
do say that we will wager that a
person will have to hunt a long
time before they could find an
other such group.-Lebanon Ex-

The Oregon SenatOrship.

Although the legislature will not
meet for six months, there is con-
siderable speculation as to the sue
cessor of Senator Dolph. The
large republican riajority assures
the election of the man Nominated
at the republican caucus, even if a
few should bolt. D. P. Thompson,
who has made his lecture on TUT
key a means of going about the
state, would be acceptable to the
silver men, as he is a prominent
advocate of free coinage, but his
personal characteristics do not win
him many admirers or ardent
supporters. Senator Corbett is
credited with an ambition to end
his days as United States senator,
but he is equally Objectionable
to the silver men and his health is
against him. Sol ,Hirsch has never
lost sight of the Office nor forgotten
his defeat for which the mission to
Turkey was not sufficient recon-
pense. Two younger and more
active republicans are mentioned
for the place, c. w. Fulton and
Thomas H. Tongue. Both are ex-
tremely popular, able, energetic
and gifted with the rare quality of
doing things for Others cheerfully
and earnestly, and neither has es-
tablished a financial record that is
objectional to the extremists OH
either side. There are no doubt
others who will be mentioned or
will keep their tightening rods in
order. The situation is both in
teresting and perplexing. Salem

The president has nominated Capt.
George Winans to be supervising in
spector of steam vessels for the Fifth
district. Capt. Winans is resident
of Waukesha, and was elected to the
assembly in 1888. He is 81 years
old and was born at Camanche.
Iowa. which accounts for his being a
river man. He settled at Chippewa
Falls and lived there until 1875. when
he moved to Waukesha. He owns
the raft boats Dan Thayer and Sat
urn. with bow boats Nav Libby and
Satellite. 1t is understood that You
mans of Winona, is his hacker, but
he has no partner. As he cannot
hold the office and be a vessel owner
also, he will have to find a purchaser

appointment will be generally ac-

STATE CHARlTYS COST.
What It Has Taken to Rum Illinois Institu.
tiOns for n Year

tions for n Year
One million, two hundred and thir-
teen Thousand, three hundred and
SIX dollars and sixty-four cents was
the amount that it cost to run the
various insane and charitable insti-
tutions of Illinois during the year
ending June 80. 1894. OF this
amount the state of Illinois was
taxed $l,10S,S43, and the expenses
have been less than for many a pre-
ceding year, in ratio to the numb Der
OF inmates. These figures are taken
from the annual financial report of
the III charitable institutions of the
state. ending June so, 1894, and
which have Just been completed by
George II. Miner, secretary of the
state board of public charities. The
above figures include maintenance,
building. repairing, furniture and
many other items, which the report
Of Secretary Miner produces in great
detail, plainly showing the great eff
hciency OF that official. and his pains
taking methods of keeping the affairs
OF state separate. The general av-
eraGe gross cost of maintaining these
people was $155.32. the average cost
to the state being $141.95 for each in
mate for the year. The average
number Of inmates in each of the IL
institutions is compiled as follows:
Northern hospital for the insane.
l,o95; Eastern hospital, 2.O1s; Cen
trail hospital, 1,193; Southern hospi-
tai, S41; asylum for insane criminals
at Chester, 113; deaf and dumb, 351:
blind, l67; Predetermined. $40: SOL
diers' orphans home, 374; eve and
ear infirmary. 112; soldiers and
sailors home, 9SS, making the total
number of inmates during the year,
including those on hand at the begin
ming of the year, II. 442. of which
4,4OO were males, 2.S44 females. and
those discharged or absent being
$685.. The number of new inmates
admitted during the year was 1855
former inmates re-admitted. III, and
absentees returned for various pur-
poses being 1,0S7. During the year
sos inmates died.
Each Institution.
1t cost the state during the past
year to run these various institu-

that the different institutions are in

The Effect of the Strike on the Rock Island
Shops.

Shops.
There have been various rumors
afloat since the great strike of last
month to the effect that the officials
OF the great Rock Island route were
meditating removing their Blue ISL
and shops to some interior point. 1t
is certainly true that Blue Island is
not safe place. 1t is too near the
great city of Chicago and in danger
from the mass of turbulent people
who have congregatcd there.
This clipping from the Valley
junction Express will show how the
rumor has taken hold in the interior
of Iowa:
Valley Junction Wants Them.
The news seems almost too good to
be true, but coupled with the fact
that the round house and repair
shops at Stuart will be moved here
Just as soon as the business of the
road RECEIVERS somewhat from the de-
preston and Inconvenience caused
by the late strike, it but strengthens
the assertion of the Express some
AACAAlhs az buut ulitN junction
was the location chosen by the Rock
Island officials for the centerinc of
all its machine shops and divisions
in Iowa. The late labor troubles in
Chicago have clearly demonstrated
the advisability of the early removal
OF the shops. There has been some
talk of moving these shops to either
Joliet or Rock Island. but now mat
tiers have taken a turn and Valley
junction is looked upon with favor.
1t seems more probable that when
the shops are moved they will come
to Rock Island, the great road which
bears the city's name having shown
its feeling that Rock Island is an i'm
portant point in numerous WAYS of
late and has given abundant indica-
lions OF its purpose to still further
add to its advantages here as great
division point. 1t is the most likely
place in the world for shops. being
