Bad Outlook for Wool.

Ex-Governor 4. f. Moody was in
Portland Wednesday, en- route to The
Dalles from Il visit with his family at
Salem. The govehor is the largest in
diyidual wool dealer in the state, and
his warehouse at The Dallea handle Il
percentage of the clip Of Eastern Ore
gon, He says the tariff bill that has
just passed congress will ruin the wool
interest of this state. With no protect
ion for this immense industry. Aus
tralia and other foreign countries will
food American markets, and there is
no possible way to maintain a market
price sufficient to warrant wool pro-
duction.
The average annual output of wool
in Oregon, the governor says, is about
20,0OO,OOO pounds, The Dalles handl-
ing about oue-auagter. The market
price there at this time is from 7 to 8
cents, the lowest ever known. Ever
since the advent Of the domestic ad-
ministration, however, free trade prices
have prevailed, and the producer in
consequence has suffered severely.
This uncertainty has now developed
into painful reality, and it seems
easy to predict the future of what has
been one OF Oregon's greatest industries
and pointed to with pride by every
resident in the state.
Governor Moody is enthusiastic
over the handsome yield Of grain east
! Of the mountains, which to a certain
degree, may compensate for the dem
ocratic death blow to wool.

Highway Robbery.

Jos Clayton, who Is employed on
the Mckenzie stock farm. met with q
rather novel and exciting experience
last evening. He had been attending
church in Eugene and started home in
his buggy about 10 o'clock. When at
the Judkins point three men came
upon him, one getting hold of the
horses bits, while the lothers, one on
each side of the buggy, requested him
alight, Clayton lost no time in doing
so, and waa without ceremony relieved
of$2A ali the money in his possession,
q pair of gold cuff buttons and q
pocket knife. The men then warned
Clayton to go ahead, not look back
nor return, which admonition he fol-
lowed. We did not learn ii he could
give u description d the robbers.

WATERLOO NOTES.

The thirsty still continue to arrive.
0. P. Coshow, Of Brownsville, is
camping here.
One man at least will be cured of
heart disease when the "Maples"leave.
The mormon camp still camps; as
yet no visible good is noticeable.
Our serial will have to wait as we
did not receive all the material reduir-
ed, but after the ball, Aug, 81, we hope
to have a full stock.
Some of the young ladies have been
heard to remark, since the Salem
boardcr arrived at the Falls View
house, "Wat's in a name?n
Saturday evening the spring was
visited by the Lebanon delegation
including those immaculate gents, the
two Georges, The waters i'll the spring
were unusually strong; so was their
breath TO judge from their language.
The attendance at the several plares
Of worship Sunday were small. One
preacher had two hearers, and the
saints have ceased to draw a full tent.
Flies and fleas play an important part
in the matter, we speak for one only.
Some one is thinking strongly of
going into the harness business. He
has begun operations by slicing har-
ness into small pieces at night. The
gentleman is known and when he
comes once more to enter his trade he
will be received with open doors-at
the city hall.
Friday night another dance was
giVeni it came up to our expectations,
the same old gang Of hoodlums were
there, Some came in lumber wagon
and were supplied with rocks to throw
upon the houses of those who had the
temerity to try to sleep while Water
loo dance was in progress. Come
again boys We dote on your little favors.
Saturday and Sunday nights are set
apart for those who believe in nothing
but having good time. Saturday
night two young bloods filled up with
I stagger juice and then took in the
Mormon camp. Not being able to
create any discord there they adjourn
ed to the north end OF town where one
fell in with the strong arm of the law
and marshal. The town is some seven
dollars better off than before his visit.
The other escaped as his red hair was
mistaken for brush fire.
There was once man who desired
to have the streets of Waterloo sprink-
led. Donations poured in and one
sprinkler was built on the plan of
Noah'g Ark. 1t also favors the school
building by being two stories high.
One application only was applied last
year and this year the character 0 tells
the tale. Dust is 2! feet deep on the
level in the town and in a few of the
most dangerous places bridges have
been built. Any one needing a bin
that will hold some 1900 bushels o
grain would do well to purchase the
sprinkler. No team can be found that
can draw the empty box from the
river to the streets. Mr.. Clark was
going to lease it to open a restaurant

Big Claims of Populists.

Bob Schilling, the populist chief OF
Wisconsin, is making large claims
for the achievements Of that party
at the approaching election. He was
reported in the Milwaukee Sentinel
as placing Iowa and Green counties
in the list likely to be carried by the
populists. But in this it appears he
was misquoted, and ne proceeds to
give the Sentinel, over his own sigma
ture, correct estimate Of his ex-
pectations, as follows: ~ did not say
that we should carry Iowa or Green
counties, but that we should have a
largely increased vote-though we did
carry two towns in Green last spring.
| do claim, however, that we have an
equal If not better chance than the
old parties to carry Ashland, Barron,
Bayfield,, Burnett, Chippewa, Doug
las, Dunn, Eau Claire, Florence, Ke-
nosha, Lacrosse, Lincoln, Marinettc,
Milwaukee, Oneida, Polk, Racine,
Richland, Shawano, Sheboygan and

The Raccoon.

Any person who has had an oppor-
tunity of observing the habits Of life
of the raccoon may have seen thathe
invariably treats his food by soaking
it before devouring it. If one should
give raccoon a piece of bread or
cracker, he will Immediately throw
it in the water. The raccoon is eX-
trelnely fond of water, drinking
largely and immersing his food SO as
to moisten it as much as possible.
When the raccoon in captivity is Of
fered morsel of cracker, it takes 1t
in both paws, and waddling off to
the little pond in its cage dips its
prize into the water, and when it Is
well soaked proceeds to eat it. Ex-
cept in the case of meat, which the
animal seems to consider moist
enough, its food has always to un
dergo this soaking process before 1t
is eaten. 1t is from this curious hab
it that the raccoon has been given
its scientific name of lotor, meaning
washer. German naturalists term
it wasch bar, or washing bear. It
examines every object within ITS
reach, whether animate or inanl
mate, and if the latter is apt to carry
off and wash the object of its inves
tigation Brooklyn Eagle.
