MUST HaLP OURSELVES.

Persons interested in inducing residents Of
the east to settle in Oregon, are dong the
state considerable good. but their efforts are
in measure han dicapped by the knowledge
that many of our own people are without
employment, and the further fact that we
ourselves are not aliveto our interests as wo
might be. We are inclined to boast Of our
splendid climate, eurmany and varied re-
sources. yet eastern people are not inclined
to look with much favor upon state in
which the residents 90 not take advantage
Of the very opportunities which are held up
to immigrants a. Inducements for them to
m axe their home with US.
As dairying country, there is probably
no section OF the United States which natur-
ally equals Western Oregon. In Benton
county there are thousands Of acres of cheap
land which would furnish an abundance OF
fodder for thousands of mileh cows, still
with all those natural ad vantages not a sin
gle creamery or cheese factory is in operation
in this county.
At the present time proposition is before
tbe people OF Corvallis and vicinity to estab-
llSii u CiCduicfys lAACo0y 'sS "
the enterprise have been successful in secur-
ing pledges for tn. furnishing OF milk from
sufficient number of cows to insure the sue
cess Of the concern, once il is in operation.
Mr.. Christian.en, one of the gentlemen
interested in the movement, states that ~ ,0Go
in cash will bo necessary to pat up the builc-
| ing, furnish it with the necessary apparatus,
and put the proposed creamery in readiness
for operation.
To raise this amount it is proposed to or
ganize joint stock company, with $4,000
capital stock divided into 200 shares of $1(
each, Between SO and 60 shares have al
ready been subscribed and during the next
few days the citizens will generally be called
upon to aid the enterprise by subscribing fo
a few shares of stock, and it is though
that when the plan is fully explained
yery little trouble will be experienced il
making up the entire amount.
| The advantages to n community OF pro
perly conducted creamery can hardly be es
timatcd. In the first place, they pay goo'
dividends on tho Investment. and the state
ment goes undisputed that the most prosper
Gus sections of the country are those wherein
dairying is mado one of the chief industries
If the present project is made n success,
will have tendency to build up the dairyin
interests of the county, which together wit
tho further development OF our horticulture
resources will eventually make Benton on
of the wealthiest and most prosperous coun
ties of our grand state.

What use is there in eating when food does
YOU no good-in fact. when it does you more
harm than good, for such is the case if it is
not digested. II you have a loathing for
food there is no use Of forcing it down, for
it will not be digestcd. You must restore
the digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested when an
appetite will come, and with it a relish for
food. The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and emery, then You will put
flesh on your bones bones and become strong.

Associated Press Special Wire
SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 19.-Apostle
Moses B. Thatcher will be declared
"contumacious" and dropped from the
rolls of the Mormon church.
This was the day fixed by the church
authorities for the trial of Mr.. Thatcher
for his failure to take counsel before
taking part in political matters year
ago, when he was candidate for
United States senator. A card appear
ed in the Deseret News this evening,
signed by the president of the twelve
apostles, to the effect that meeting OF
the apostles was held, and that it was
unanimously decided that Nose
Thatcher be severed from the council
apostleship and other offices in the
priesthood.
Mr. Thatcher refused to appear, claim
ing that he had been publicly accused
before the people and that he was en-
titled to a public trial. In his absence
he was unanimously declared "contu-
macious."
Mr.. Thatcher is being pushed by some
of his friends for the United States
senate.
The Deseret News, the recognized or
gan of the Mormon church. opposes his
election, and says that his candidacy
rests solely upon his hostile attitude to
the church. to which it is thought a re-
bulSe will come from his success.
On the other hand, it was claimed
that any attempt by the church authori-
ties to follow him beyond the portals of
the church and into state politics would
be looked upon as a violations of the
agreement made by the first presidency
when Utah was admitted as state.

March
A Sioux City Bank Fails and the Great
Probst Construction Company
Goes to the Wall.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 19.-The First
National bank of Sioux City closed its
doors at IL o'clock this morning as a re-
suit of heavy Withdrawals since the
failure of the Iowa Savings bank last
week. The bank has always been con-
sidered one of the most solid financial
institutions in the west. 1t was origi-
mated in 1871.
e. III. Hubbard, attorney for the bank,
made the following statement tonight:
There is nothing to say further than
that the bank is closed on account of
steady Withdrawals and the inability to
get necessary money. Whether it will
reopen again I cannot say. No definite
statement can be made until the bank
examiner comes. The comptroller of
the currency, Mr.. Eckles. has been no.
titled and until the examiner comes we
shall have nothing more to say"
The bank had nearly 100000 in de-
posits; loans and discounts, S492,000;
capital, 100000.
The failure caused o run on the Sioux
iCty Savings bank, T. j. Stone being
president of both institutions. The
officers took advantage of the sixty
days law, but late in the day f. b. Ross
was appointed receiver for the protec-
ton of the stockholders and creditors.
No further trouble is looked for by the
bankers of Sioux City.

TREASURY AGENTS REPORT
Suggests Removal OF Restrictions on
Commerce With Mexico
A Smaller Duty on Diamonds and Pre-
cious Stones Would Be in the
Interest of Revenue.
Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-J. ]. Crow
ley, supervising special agent of the
treasury, in his annual report devotes
considerable attention to smuggling.
Opium smuggling, the report says, has
decreased largely during the last year
as the result, principally, of the reduc-
tion of the rate Of duty from $12 to $6 per
pound; 1873, $50 pounds of smoking opium
was imported at San Francisco during
the year 1895, upon which 1913, ,404 was
paid in duty. Last year the amount
was 9S,126 pounds, upon which duty ag-
gregating $5SS, 1855 was paid. The report
shows that there has been noticeable
increase in the smuggling of diamonds
since the duty on precious stones was
increased by the tariff act of 1894. A
return to the rate of duty provided in
the act of 1890, Mr.. Crowley says, would
be in the interest of revenue and of the
legitimate trade.
During the past year 5446 Chinese per-
sons applied for admission to this coun-
try. OF this number. 1921 were in tran
sit for other countries; 415 We're rejected
and 3510 We're admitted. The number
of Chinese arrested for violation of the
exclusion laws was 1913 and the number
deported 120 Under the treaty between
the United States and China providing
Tor the departure and return to this
country of Chinese laborers, 936 laborers
left the United States and 106 returned
during the past year.
The joint resolution of congress, ap-
proved March l, 1895. prohibiting the
transportation through the United
States of merchandise destined for
places in the free zone in Mexico, Mr..
Crowley says has been nullified by the
practice which now obtains, of shippins g
goods to the zone libre via Mexican
seaports. and the only apparent result
accomplished by the legislation referred
to has been less business to American
railway companies. 1t is suggested that
the removal OF the restrictions imposed
at least to the extent of allowing the
places in Mexico from the seaboard to
the Mexican frontier under the usual
transportation entries, would involve no
danger of loss to the revenues of our
government"
Attention is called to the shipments Of
Canadian goods in transit through the
United States to points in Canada and
to the transportation of free and dutia-
BILE merchandise in bond between ports
of the United States to Canada.
Through lines of travel have been
open which require constant care and
surveillance. The report shows that
during the last calendar year loaded
cars to the number of 43067S We're sent
over Canadian railroads from one point
in the United States to another

PR!NCETONS AT PRACTICE

Education
Two of Yale's Men Are Sick, But Still
Strong Enough to Break Few
Tigers Bones.
Associated Press Special Wire

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 19.-The
coaches gave the Tigers light work today
and the undergraduates were permitted
to watch the practice during the first
half, after which spectators were ex-
ciuded and playing was continued in Sc
cret. The form the Tigers showed this
afternoon was very satisfactory to the
coaches and undergraduates alike. The
men worked we'll together and played
with speed and energy. Interference
was very strong, and team work per-
feet. The varsity scored three touch-
downs, made by Barnard and Wheeler.
Most of the time was spent in practic-
ing signals, SO that the injured men
might have light work. Little kicking
was done. The varsity advanced the
ball by rushing, using straight football
to the exclusion of tricks. DR.. Bergen,
the team physician, pronounced all the
players in prime condition. There is lit
tie Yale money in town. Yale asks odds
which Princeton men decline to give.
The players will leave here on Friday at
ternoon for New York.
YALE'S PRACTICE.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. 19.-Over
$500 students and friends assembled on
Yale field this afternoon to see the var
sty eleven hold its final practice for
the big game of Saturday. All the men
played in their regular positions, lining
against a scrub eleven for about thirty
five minutes play. The trainer, Fitz
patrick, said tonight that he never saw
a collection of athletes in better condi-
ton for a contest, the only exceptions
being Hinckey, who was not fully recov-
cred from an attack of tonsillitis, and
Gilmore. the second substitute at half
back. who is suffering with a twisted
knee.
The unprecedented demand for tickets
has caused many disappointments, as
there are nearly 200 undergraduates, as
we'll as several members of the faculty
who are unprovided for, and the appor
tionment to the players has also been
reduced. New York men have been in
the city Offering SO and $12 bonus, some
thing never before heard of, but the
management have yet to discover the
first case of a student disposing of his
ticket. The team will leave here tomor-
row on special drawngroom car. The
regular eleven, fifteen substitutes,
Keene Fitzpatrick, the trainer, and a
corps of half a dozen rubbers, will be
taken by the management, and eight
coaches.

SEEKING HEALTH.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.--General
Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman of the
Southern Pacific left for Los Angeles
today with his sister, Mrs. Bangs, for an
Indefinite stay.
The trip is made in the hope that Mr.
Goodman's failing health might i'm
prove. Mr. Goodman's condition for
two months past has been such as to
cause his relatives and friends the
gravest anxiety. He was able to appear
at his office two weeks ago, and it was
believed that he was gradually regain
ing his health. Since that time, how
ever, he had several deep-seated rheu-
matte attacks, which weakened him
considerably. On the advice of his ply
sicians the trip to the south is taken.
The opinion is expressed that his real
condition has been concealed and that
he is more seriously ill than his friends
are willing to admit.
