MAJOR J.cksoN,s LECTURE.
The People of the Pueblos and Their
Peculiar Traits.

Themes and theories regarding the
origin and customs of the people who
inhabited America in prehistoric
times are ever of interest, especially to
the student of unwritten history, or
rather history that is found in natures
writings-geology and tradition. And
when such theories are related by one
who has gained his knowledge by per-
sonal observation they are doubly in
teresting. Those who attended
Major Jackson's lecture at the Con-
gregational church Tuesday had
the pleasure of listening to such re-
hersal.
The speaker chose for his subject the
people of the Pueblos, probably one of
the most civilized types of American
Indians, and by thread of imagination,
aided by geological research, very
vividly showed how it was possible
that man found his origin in America.
By the aid of their peculiar styles of
architecture and pottery, relics of
which are found in abundance through
out Arizona and New Mexico, he
reasoned that the Moquis could be
traced back ages and ages beyond the
date of creation as given us by the
writer's of Mythology, and advanced
the idea that America was inhabited
by those people when all of Europe
was barren, desolate waste. Then
step by step he followed them through
the different ages up to the time when
they were found by the whites, de-
scribing their sedentary habits, their
peculiar religious rites, and their in
capability of adapting themselves to
what we term higher civilization, de-
scribing them as a happy, contented
people, living as their ancestors have
lived for centuries, and devoid of
higher asperation. They, like all other
American Indians, he believed, were a
distinct type of humanity, and to en-
deavor to make anything out of them
but Indians, the speaker considered
not only impossible but unjust.

More Particulars Regarding the Robbins
of Bolton g. Co.'S safe.
The Antelope Herald gives the fol-
lowing account of the recent robbery
at that place:
"By the use of two large rasps and a
large monkey-wrench. stolen out OF
Peter Kircheimer's blacksmith shop,
the burglars deliberately pried open
the front door of the store, breaking
the part on which the lock was fasten-
ed loose from the. main part of the
door. They then proceeded to the safe
and with the monkey-wrench, twisted
off the knob; then long punch was
brought into play and the shaft of the
knob knocked through; into this hole
was inserted lot of common powder
and fuse applied. The explosion
bursted the face of the door loose lit
being the "Hall' make), breaking the
hinges, and then after extracting the
bolts, it was an easy matter to remove
the entire door. The various depart
ments of the safe were then thoroughly
ransacked and every cent of the gold,
silver and greenbacks taken out. none
of the notes, checks or other valuable
papers therein being disturbed, how
ever. In the big desk near the safe
was S25 belonging to 7. ]. Harper the
stage man, and this was also taken,
but none of the other drawers in the
desk had been inolested in the least,
showing that the thieves had been
pretty well acquainted with the prem
1ses. The two til1s of the store were
then pried open and good deal of
small change procured. Evidently
being satisfied with haul of $500 or
5000 clean cash, the thieves then de-
parted without taking any goods out of
the store,'

COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE.

the Country.

the Country.
I The press of the country, regardless
of party preference, generally indorse
the presidents message and favor the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
Following is what some of the leading
papers have to say:
Chicago Times-Herald (independ-
ent-The nation is with the president.
Chicago Chronicle Demo 'rat)-The
presidents message is not only a
strong appeal to American pride and
patriotism in a matter now at issue; 1t
is clean cut and vehement enuncia-
tion of the Monroe doctrine, which in
his hands is vitalized as never before
since it's first promulgation.
| Chicago Tribune-However the
boundary dispute may eventuate, the
thanks of the country are due to
President Cleveland for vigorous, res.
olute, fearless and patriotic defense of
that doctrine.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
(Republican)-No one could have asked
for stronger or more vigorous support
of the Monroe doctrine.
The Salt Lake Tribune-It will
cause joy in every patriotic heart in
the United States. The doctrine en-
unciated is right anG must be sustained,
if necessary, even at the expense of an
exhaustive war
The St. Louis Reupblic, tDemocrat)
President Cleveland's message to
congress is the most virile assertion
possible on the spirit of the Monroe
doctrine.
The San Francisco Chronicle-The

able. Americans of all shades of po.
litical opinion will endorse the special
message of the president in that re-
gard.
East Oregonian-President Cleve-
land went duck shooting and made
some fine shots, but none of them COM
pare with the accuracy of the aim of
his latest shot at John Bull. 1t struck
the bulls eye full and fair!
Portland Oregonian-Because the
Monroe doctrine is national idea,
we do not ask whether it is principle
of international law or not. We do
not ask other nations to establish and
maintain it. We will do that for our
selves. If we do it with vigor and
resolution, we need not concern our
selves about the recognition of the
principle by other nations. France
never recognized the Monroe doctrine
by formal treaty. but the recognition
she made when she scuttled out of
Mexico was worth all the treaties ever
signed. We set up the principle for
defense of our national life, We will
interpret it for our selves. We will
maintain 1t for ourselves. We will en-
force it for ourselves. 1t is not an in
ternational law. We shall not seek to
enforce it in Europe, Asia or Africa.
But it Is law for the American conti-
nent, because our vital national in
trest requires 1t. We shall enforce it
here. and the European power which
wishes to overturn it must be stronger
than the United States.

The Dream to be Realized.

Yesterday Mr.. I. N. Day, one of the
contractors at the locks, stated to an
Oregonian reporter that by March l,
the first steamer will pass through the
locks. He said the lower bulkhead
has been far enough removed to allow
the passage of boats, and while con,
siderable excavating remains to be
done at the upper bulkhead, the work
will be accomplished within fifty days,
unless unexpected hard weather inter
venes. May Mr.. Days statement
prove true is the hope of every resi-.
dent of the upper country.

Prospective Business For the d. P. s. A
N. Co.

A gentleman who resides at Yak
ina. Wash, was in the city few days
ago, and stated that the low rates
which the D. p. & A. N Co. line was
enabled to offer on wool from The
Dalles to Boston would cause large
amount of the Yakima wool to be
shipped over this line next season. He
said sheep raisers in that section con-
templated driving their sheep into
Klickitat county to shear next spring
in order to be within reach of the
river, and would haul the wool here to
be shipped by the D, P, & A. N. Co.
Last year when this company was Civ.
ing a rate of 80 9-l0 cents per pound
to Boston, the Northern Pacific was
charging q cents from Yakima. By
shipping their wool from this point
the Yakima sheep raisers can effect a
saving of 1t cents, and possibly more
if the locks are completed by the time
wool begins to meve,

grown here with real gain to the
growers of the same. Why might it not
give iute culture fair trial of say three
to i've years; not only it's growth but it's
preparation for factory use also. If this
is asking too much of our State institu
ton, then let us try and see if an
hundred or two men, can not be found
within tie bounds of Florida, who will
subscribe for share or more of stock
to make a trial.
We need to go forward, not to stand
waiting for something to be developed
that will help us.
We look to our agricultural journals
to keep us informed of what is being
accomplished both in this State and
elsewhere; also do we desire to have
them encourage fresh efforts to broaden
our field of industry where advantage
may result therefrOm; nor is it asking
too much of them to advocate still fur
ther attempts to gain useful, practical
knowledge along those lines not yet
clearly determined, though promising
some fair reward.
Our agricultural and horticultural
journals are in some measure our adj
visors, our cOunsellors, our advance
line in the onward march IN the bat
tie and the strife Of our farming life.
1t is better for us that we trust them
than to distrust. 1t is for us to ap
peal to their honor, their intelligence,
their candOr and usefulness, than to
simply trust ourselves in the far more
limit ID sphere Of individual or personal
observation and experience; the latter
is so very slow for the age IN which
we live. Our record serves better for
those who come behind us. The orange
growing industry of this State was a
wonderful development for so short a
time. Can we not put part of that
same energy into other lines of prod
ucts and possibly with better success

RETTING.
In India practical experience has
shown that the process Of retting is
FASTENED by sleeping the stalks in stag
nant water. In a stream the operation
takes more time, but the fiber has greater
whlteness, strength and luster. The
construction of watts, while promoting
cleanliness and the economic handling
of the iute, would permit the use of hot
water. steam or chemicals for the re-
moval of the gum. Chemistry, which
has in modern times so usefully simpli
fed many industrial processes, m y yet
reduce the time of retting to few hours.
But, unless the element of time becomes
very important, water will always be
the cheapest solvent. To India the av
erage duration OF retting is 10 or Is days
So short period will not allow the sub
stitution of any costly process. What
ever takes the place Of water must save
the difference in expense by economy

Borax as a Fruit Preservative.

Mr. Frank M Smith the "borax king"
of the United States has been lately ex-
perimenting with borax as preserva-
tive Of fresh fruits, at his home in Oak
land. The fresh fruit is merely placed
in the powdered borax, just as eggs are
placed in salt for preserving, and the re-
suits are quite surprising, He informs
us that cherries have been kept many
days by this process, and believes other
fruits may be kept equally we'll. Lately
Mr.. Smith packed some fresh, ripe cher
ries in barrel with borax and sent them
to Chicago by regular freight train. He
was advised that on arrival in that m ar
ket they were in excellent condition and
sold at good prices. All the visible eff
feet of borax on the fruit is the absorb
ton of moisture which is observed in
the borax on removal of the fruit. No
odor or taste is acquired by the fruit
from the borax, and nothing comes from
the fruit to make the boraX unfit for use
in the ordinary way. Further expert
ments, of course, will be needed to fix
the value of bOraX as an aid to the bet
ter transportation of fresh fruits to dis
tant markets, but it's efficacy as a pre-
sentative agent for fruit as we'll as

Jablished.- California Fruit Grower.

A Wider Range Of Cropping.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Will you please keep right on advo,
eating an extended line Of farm crop
ping. The day and generation call for
it. 1t is our safest road to fair meas
ure of prosperity. The economy of such
a course of action is logically sound.
Labor is better-because more fully
employed. Our reserve forces, as we'll
as those,of the soil and climate, are more
drawn upon and utilized. Our towns
and cities are wanting factories and
workshops; why may we not furnish
them with furniture woods, willow
withs, rattan, slsal hemp, jute, ramie,
bear grass, cotton, wool, etc, etc. Per-
haps we might try sugar beet culture,
or beet sugar production; this calls for
labor and machinery in about equal por
lions, and whenever we can combine the
use of machinery with labor in fair
proportion of each we need not exercise
our fears as to competition with the
lower rates of foreign labor. 1t is only
when machinery can not be brought into
much if any use, that we need to stand
back. Then suppose that we try to get
along with such articles and products as
we can and are producing within the
State. This may seem as strange Ian
guage; but it could hardly help doing us
much good and it surely would be very
patriotic. Whatever way we may look
at the situation, the remedy lies wholly
in our own hands. Legislation will not
in the least likelihood aid us; it too often
6iscriminates against the farmer and til
Ter of the soil. All we need to ask of
legislation is to see that the farmers
are aot robbed by the INSCRIPTIONS and
extortioners who handle and deal in the
products of the farm, orchard and
garden.
We are paying several thousand dol
lars a wear toward the support of an
Agricultural institution in Florida, and
while the writer has not word of con-
demnation against it's present manage
ment, can it not be made somewhat more
practical and show forth whether some
one or other of our fibre plants can be
