In loving remembrance on the death of
Rev. j j. WILSON, -
A genial face and pleasant smile
Is missing in your home:
Familiar footsteps no more heard
Father VIII no more-return
He launched his barquc on Jordan's wave:
He stemmed the swelling tide:
IN safety reached the shining shore
Just ON the other side.
He anchored safe at close of day,
Within the Harbor fair.
Escaped from all the sins OF earth.
Its suffering and its care.
IT'S hard TO part from those we love;
IL causes many a sigh.
To look into the dying face
And say the last goodbye.
he cannot come to you again,
But YOU to him can 60
"nere tears are wiped from every eye
And parting none shall know
Funeral Will take place Friday afternoon
at O'Clock. Service will be held in the
church OF which he was pastor.

was the opinion of all of the members
present that steps should De taken to sup
press the spread Of the disease as far as
possible. To this end the following pre-
ambie and resolutions were unanimously y
adopted:
Whereas for six years past there has
been large number OF cases Of diph-
iberia in the District, and many of them
1atai cases, 1t has caused much warranted
alarm on the part OF our citizens; and
whereas there does not seem to have
been any concerted plan devised to arrest
the spread OF this loathsome disease, it
is deemed expedcnt that some effort he
put forth to at least try and discover
the cause of the continued presence of
this disease in our community; and
whereas In Il uum Der OF our school build

preston, he finds, is that Oregon is an in
tensely cold country, whereas, on the con-
traTy, the climate is comparable to that
Of Washington. West of the Sierra Ne
vada and the most thickly-settled portion
OF the State is on that part-the climate is
tempered in winter with south winds, and in
summer with winds from the north. just as
iS the case in California. The south winds
bring rain. SO that winter instead of being
a cold season is a wet one, while the char
acteristic of summer is clear weather.
As people become cogniZant of the many
advantages of Oregon, both as n place of
residence and from n business standpoint,
Mr.. Williams expects to see it become one
Of the most thickly- settled States in the
country.

THE influence of American competi

Ii OIL
business methods, thinks Mr.. Samuel
Ackloyd, a wOolen manufacturer Of
England, who is stopping at the Riggs
House. is plainly to be seen i'll the case of
his native city, Leeds.
About twenty years ago Leeds was one
of the many IowDS which were known as
markets. Each of these towns was known
as the center of certain industry, and
at certain periods of the year all the trades
men who sold these goods would repair 10
the market towns To purchase their stocks.
Leeds was known as the wooden center
and two buildings of the town were known
as the white wUUlenS market and the col
ored wooienS market, respectively. The
woolen goods were not sold to the retail
dealer directly, but reached him through
the factor or middleman, who bought of
the producer and sold his wares in these
markets.
Touay there is no factor, and the markets
have long since been appropriated to other
uses. The manufacturer, to dispose of his
wares, is obliged to have recourse to tie
commercial traveller, or drummer, as he is
known in America. Principally, if not en-
tirely, Mr. Ackloyd thinks. this change
may be traced to The influence of America,
which has taught the mother country, as
well as the rest OF the civilized world, how
modern business should be conducted.

II MoNG the distinguished foreigners
who are in the city is Col. II. Dyer,
retired officer of the British army,
who occupies rooms at the Raleigh.
Col. Dyer, who halls from London, is
In the United States in the interests CT
English manufacturers, and has spent most
OF his time examining the factories Of this
country. He has found, he said, to his
surprise, that American methods ore many
years in advance OF those used In England.
The machines used are, as a rule, great
improvements upon the English ones. They
simplify the process, and enable the man
ufacturer to turn out a greatly-ncreased
product with less number OF workmen.
Thus in the iron works of Pennsylvania,
which he took particular, pains to invcsti-
gate, he was astounded. he says, to see
The great progress that has been made III
The application of machines to work which
in England is still done by hand. The Car
negie works, in his opinion, and he has seen
nearly, II not all, the steel and iron works
In the world, are the greatest in existence.
Thus one day he saw them turn out amin
mense quantity OF steel rails with a work
ing force of onl y thirty eight men. To turn
Out the same amount OF rauilS in England,
he said, would require the services of at
least l 80 men. II also remarked upon the
extent to which electricity is used in this
country, both as motive power, and in the
processes Tn emsel YES.
IL Will take fully a decade, In Col. Dycr's
opinion, to catch up in methods. With
their facilities for cheaper methods in
manufacturing, however, they will always
be able to compete with the United States
in the markets OF the world.
