I've viii, XIII Them.

C. w. Hollis gives the PRESS man
some valuable information in re.
gard to extefninating squirrels. A
gentleman who was bothered more
or less with these pests, hit upon
the novel and inexpensive plan Of
clearing his place Of them by the
use of concentrated lye. He dis
olved the I've until it was like
paste. He then spread o thin coat
ing oil chip, small fiat stone, or
anything at hand, which could be
conveniently placed in the squir-
rels hole. When the squirrels
come out they step in the lie. In
a short time their feet begin to
burn. when up sets Mr.. squirrel,
and into the mouth goes the injur-
ed foot, and there is one squirrel
less on the ranch. Mr.. Hollis, in
formant vouches for the destruc-
tive power Of lye as q squirrel
destroyer, and as there is consider
able difference in the price Of lye
and strychnine and other poisoRal,
it will cost scarcely anything to ex-
pertinent. Lye costs but ice a
can, while the price of strychnine
is about $1.50 per ounce. Try I've
and see how it works.

The following taken from the

come among us and purchase these
farms it will add materially to our
advancement in agricultural lines.
But there is one suggestion that W
feel like making, and that is 70
the mortgage companies to aid in
bearing the expenses. In fact they
could we'll afford to bear the entire
expense of the whole immigration
scheme. We need cite only one
instance in this county to prove
the point Gibson Bros. borrowed
$4,000 some years ago and gave a
mortgage for that amount on their
fine farm. They paid $4,000 in
terest on the loan and not long
since gave up the farm to the mort
gage company for the original debt
of$3,000. This Is one Of the roas.
ons why we say the mortgage com,
panies can we'll afford to bear all
tho expenses Of the movement to
get immigration into this state.
But we are afraid they will not re.
spond and leave all the expenses
to the people who have paid them
such enormous sums Of money in
the past"

ATHENA, JANUARY 81, 1895
WHILE the whole country is

WHILE the whole country is
aroused at the great cost with which
everything is run, there is one
point that has not yet been touch
ed. II is the number of healthy
families that are fed at the expense
of the state. The moment a man
gets an appointment at the head OF
one of our public institutions, the
first thing he does is to get his wife
made matron, no matter whether
she has any qualifications for the
office or not, and several of them
we know have not. Then in comes
his family Of boys and girls who
are all fed and clothed at the pub
lie expense. This is all wrong.
1t is quite enough for a man who
gets good Office to be fed and
housed himself, but when he brings
with him his wife and children,
and have them all fed at the ex-
pense Of the state, he is asking
little too much. His family has
no more right to be fed than other
families. This is something that
those who have the appointing
power should correct. This state
is fast coming to the point when
all these little Irregularities must
be corrected. The common people
are beginning to see how they have
been imposed upon, and they are
determined to have none Of il for
the future

WE fully endorse the following
which we clip from the Oregonian
of Monday: ut is a great wrong
to the txpayers that the law should
invite every contentious person to
bring suit upon any cause, how.
ever trivial, on payment merely of
the fee for filing his papers and 80
as a trial fee, charging all the rest
of the expense TO the county. Lit
igation is thus fostered at the pub
lie expense. Not seldom the same
trifling cause. in which the public
can have no interest, and which is
practically without merit in itself,
is tried two or three times over at
cost to the taxpayers Of hundreds
of dollars. The burdens of the tax
payers of Multnomah county alone
are increased every year to the
amount Of thousands Of dollars by
the facility thus afforded irrespon-
sible people to go to law The
statutes should be amended SO rs
to put q stop to it,"

THE appropriation last session
for our state printer
was $60,O00-that is $4,000 a year
Besides there was a deficiency that
had to be made good of $4,000. II
is little wonder that a state printer
becomes immensely rich in four
years. Ten or fifteen thousand
dollars q year should cover the
whole cost of state printing. There
is entirely too much matter print
ed that the public cares nothing
about, and that is of no use what
ever to the average man. The
state printing costs, at the very
least, twice as much as it ought to.
This is q matter on which party
platforms should contain an an
nouncment. We do not believe in
fattening one man at the public ex-
pense, no matter how good man
he may be. We do not blame the
state printer for taking what the
law allows him, but we do object
most emphatically to the law as it

Mo Extra Session.

Governor Lord disposed Of the
extra session matter in the follow
ing conclusive language Wednes-
day.
'There will be no extra session
of the legislature. There is no
public sentiment asking for it, nor
have I any assurance, if / should
call one, that its results would
justify the expense. [ have re-
ceived numerous letters from tax
payers and influential citizens
throughout the STATE, and, barring
two exceptions, the sentiment ex-
pressed in such letters are averse
to an extra session. l have also
talked with several members of the
legislature and received letters from
others, and, with one exception,
they are all opposed to an extra
session, or believe that it would
not be productive of any good. /
am in receipt of about 30 news
papers from different portions of
the state, and they, also, with the
exception of the Oregonian, Tele-
gram and two others, express views
against an extra session. Taking
those views as representative of the
public throughout the different
localities, they indicate that there
is no public sentiment asking for
an extra session, nor do they afford
any assurance that the result of the
session would justify its cost. I'M
der such circumstances, it would be
neither wise nor profitable TO call
an extra session, nor shall | call
one !"

the French mint practically con-
trolled the relative value Of gold
and silver everywhere.
If England wanted money for
shipment to India, she had to give
an ounce Of gold for 154 of silver,
or not get it. If South America
wanted gold for shipment to Eng
land, she had to give 15t ounces Of
silver for one ounce Of gold, or not
get it. Thus the two metals were
linked together, and the whole
world was practically bimetallic.
The effect upon prices, and bust
ness generally, was the same as il
the combined mass had been all
gold, or all silver.

Senator Mitchell has 81

Senator Mitchell has succeeded
in getting his measure, known as
the double minimum refunding bill
reported favorably by the public
land committee. The bill, which
is an important one to the public
of this section, provides for the re-
funding to the settlers within for
feited railroad grants Of all more
than $1,25 per acre, paid by those
who settled on even numbered sec
tions, and who paid the double
minimum price. The fact that the
railroads were not built as ant;ci-
pated, made these lands no more
valuable than other sections and
the proposed refunding would be a
simple act of justice to those set
tiers who paid the double price,
thinking that the expected con-
struction of the roads would justify
it. The bill, it is t1sdght, will
elicit opposition in the senate, but
it's passage is no less deserving.

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT

Washington, April 24.-The fact that
such unusual progress was made with the
sundry civil appropriation bill in the SEN
ate today and that the Democrats mani
Tested no disposition to delay its consider
alton, has greatly encouraged the Repub-
lican senators in the belief that an early
adjournment is probable. 1t is under
stood that the Democratic leaders have
practically agreed that congress shall close
as soon as the appropriation bills can be
disposed of and that they will make no OBJ
position to their consideration with as
much dispatch as is consistent with the
demands of the public business. They
will expect, however, that opportunity
shall be granted for consideration of one
or two measures, and among other things
will ask that a vote shall he taken upon
the resolution to seat Mr.. Dupont as
senator from Delaware. The Democrats
think that in case the vote is taken on
this proposition the resolution will be de,
feated.
