position to complain,
Il disclosed a very satisfactory rate OF
progress on the part ot shafier toward
the town OF Santiago Itself, and appar-
entity ne had gained an the ground and
has come within three miles Of Santiago
without suffering any losses since the
bloody skrmsh OF Friday last Alto
gcthcr the performance Is regarded as
very gratifying 10 the department here.

brief dispatch the American army is now
at a broad road one branch of which
leads TO Santiago and the other 10 Moro
castle. at the entrance to the harbor
General Shaftcr Is thus free to move In
either direction according TO the demands
NJ the campaign,
with l1oO men who reinforced him yes
tcrday ON the Vale and an additional brI-
gadc that will reach him by tomorrow,
It may be possible to make even more
rapid progress In the advance upon SAN
tngo. Meanwhile further relnforcements

rapldly as the best energies Of the de-
partmcnt can direct and It is believed
that several thousand men sailed from

COOPERATIVE DAIRYlNG.

The ranchers, who are daily learning
more about the farmers congress to be
held IN Astoria July % am 2l. are en-
thusiastic over the scheme, Many Of
them have toiled for years on few
acres, in an effort to make a living, and
have planned in every way to make their
work successful.
This county is primarily adapted to
dairying, but it has been a question Of
method to make it pay and get the most
out of its natural advantages, which are
unsurpassed Grasses grow here easily
and heavy crops rule. But what grasses
were particularly suited TO the climate
and would produce the greatest amount OF
butter fats have been an unknown guam
uty.
Another point has been the method OF
saving the greatest amount of cream,
or butter fat, from a given amount Of
milk, and to make the largest percentage
Of profit from the same. Cooperative
creameres have solved the problem, and
this solution it is proposed to explain at
the coming farmers congress.
The greatest scientists Of the day who
are recognized authorities on both sides
of the Atlantic, will be here and deliver
lectures upon the different phases of the
question. The lectures will be practical
interesting and of the utmost permanent
benefit.
Both oregon and washington will join
In the movement, which will be inter
state in character, and the foundations
will be laid for good county roads, as well
as creamerles, which will pay handsome
profits. Both states will be drawn closer
together in interests. more friendly rela-
tions will take the place of jealousies
and the comfy of feeling will extend, no
doubt, to the question Of salmon fishing,
close season. traps, etc The two states
are an empire in themselves, only divided
by the mighty Columbia, and their low
lands and uplands will be put in the way
of producing the peculiar kinds of grasses
that in each locality will bring the best
results. .
