Industrial Agent Judson, Of the o.
R. & N. Co., was interviewed by the
Oregosian a few days ago regarding
the cattle-men's meeting at Pendleton
and the convention of wool growers to
be held at The Dalles. Among other
things he said:
"As an illustration Of the active in
terest Eastern Oregon people are
taking in the move for development
and Improvement Of agricultural re-
sources, l was in conference with the
Commercial Club, at The Dalles. the
other day, and was asked how much
money would be needed to start the
preparations for holding a woolgrowers
convention. 1 estimated that 800
would do for starter. 'Ah, well,'
said prominent member Of the club
to the committee, take $500 and get
the thing going, and there will be no
difficulty about raising more money
when it shall be needed. We are
bound to make a success Off, Charles
Hilton, one Of the big sheepmen Of
Wasco county, promises to see to 1t
that every sheepman, and woolgrower
of that region will attend the sheep
and wool convention.
1.-THE opera-house has been secured
for the convention, which will be in
connection with the farmers institute,
under the direction of the state agri-
cultural college, and there is absolute-
ly no reason to doubt that 1t will be
great success as a public gathering,
and of much practical value to the
farmers and the wool and mutton

BLANCO MUST FALL.
Cannot Much Longer Hold Out gaInst the

CannOI mucn Longer hOlu Out a Sainst tne
Opposition.
NEW YORK, Feb. IA Havana dis
patch to the Tribune says:
The government is looking for
scape-goat. If one is found, Madrid
will be satisfied a while longer, and
the present situation may continue.
Nevertheless the prevailing view is
that explanations cannot be made
which will be satisfactory. So much
was expected from General Blanco's
continuous trip around the island and
so little has come from it that the dis
appointment felt cannot be coacealed.
The captain-general's promise that
this month will bring peace seems to
have been taken literally in Spain. 1t
was not so here. The statement that
the captain-general was on trip of in
spection engaged chiefly in wishing
the hospitals. does not satisfy the
hopes that had been entertained.
The ihtransigentes in Cuba may re-
frain from open demonstrations of
hostility, though they are becoming
restless. What they will do cannot be
predicted with certainty, but they are
not hesitating to spur the conserva-
tives in Spain to action, and this
brings the government back to the
question of the scapegoat.
General Pando apparently thinks he
may be selected for that role. The
Weylerites are watching their chances
and General Seguere has returned to
the peninsula, ready to condemn
Pando's plan of military operations
in the eastern part of the island.
Many things prevent them from pub
licly deriding the captain-general, but
among them many show tendency to
demand evidences of the peace that is
coming. The sick soldiers who are
brought from eastern provinces to
Havana military hospitals are not evil
dences of it. Their places are taken
by tho new recruits from Spain.

ARE you TO LIVE IN ALASKA.
Some Requirements That Will be Found
Indispensable.

Some Requirements That will be Found
| Indispensable.
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast can.
not be used-it must be baking powder;
and the powder manufactured by pro-
cesses OF the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors
have learned, is the only one which
will stand in that peculiar climate OF
cold and dampness and raise the bread
and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to 60 to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
OF baking POWDER it will cost just
as much to transport it, ard then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and diff
ficult route. he will find solid caked
mass or lot of spoiled powder, with
no strength and useless. Such a mis-
take might lead to the most serious
results. Alaska is no place in which
TO experiment in food, or try to econo-
mize with your stomach. For use in
such climate. and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor In that country, everything must
be the best and the most useful, and
above all 1t is imperative that all food
supplies shall have perfect keeping
Qualities. 1t is absurd to convey over
such difficult and expensive routes an
article that will deteriorate in transit,
or that will be found when required
for use to have lost great part of its
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar exper-
fence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
''the father of Alaska" after an ex-
perience of years upon the trail. in the
camp, and in the use of every kind Of
supply, says: 1--WE find in Alaska that
the importance of proper kind of
baking powder cannot be- overestimat-
ed. A miner with can OF bad baking
powder is almost helpless in Alaska.
We have tried all sorts, and have been J
obliged to settle down to use nothing |
but the Royal. 1t is stronger and car
ries further, but above all things, it is
the only powder that will endure the
severe climatic changes OF the arctic
regioA.a
1t Is for the same reasons that the |
U. S. Governments in its relief ex-
peditions, and Peary, the famous arc
tic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
ficient of leavenilg agents. Hence it
Is indispensable to every Alaskan out
it. 1t can be had of any Of the trad
ng companies in Alaska, but should
'he minor procure his supplies before
eaving, he should resist every at
'empt of the outfitter to palm off upon
him any of the other brands of baking
powder, for they will spoil and prove
he cause of great Disappointment and
rou BILE.

Relief Expedition Sailed on The steam er
Elder Saturday.
PORTLAND, Feb. 6.-With 81 pas
sengers, including the first detach-
ment of troops for the Alaska relief
expedition, Sc horses, so dogs and 1l50
tons of freight. the steamer Elder left
Alaska wharf for the far north, at
1890 o'clock, last night. Though the
wharf was we'll filed with sightseers,
it was not crowded to suffocation, for
many of the Elders passengers were
from outside of Portland, and had no
friends here to see them off.
Some 200 tons of the Elders freight
was for the government relief ex-
pedition, 400 tons was miners outfits
and $50 tons general freight. All the
freight save few outfits was aboard
in the afternoon, and the wondering
and objecting dogs were taken aboard
while the passengers were embarking.
Everything went off smoothly and
when the gang plank was pulled up,
and the big steamer swung out into
the river she was given as rousing
cheer as that which followed her on
her first trip northward.

Cietield, Germany, is to remove to this

1t is stated by Julius Brander, the
protector of the enterprise, that the
scale Of wages Of skilled silk workers
in the United states has been lowered
in the last few years, and that Euro
pean manufacturers are forced to come
here if they would retain their busi-
ness in the American market.

The Commercial club Taking Hold Of the
Matter OF Transportation.
Last night very enthusiastic meet
ing OF the executive committee Of the
Commercial Club was held In the Club
parlors, the matter under considers
tion being that Of transportation.
Numerous plans were laid before the
committee both for extending wagon
and railroads into the interior; but
that which received greatest atten-
tion was the one suggested In these
columns several days ago, OF building
road south toward the Prineyiile
country with view to centering the
trade of Crook and Grant counties at
The Dalles.
The members of the committe were
we'll pleased with the plans thus far
presented, and were unanimous for be-
ginning immediate action that will
lead to preliminary work In that di-
rection. The committee will hold
other meetings in q few days at which
the possibility Of definite action will be
fully discussed, and it is quite evident
when feasible plans can be outlined .
move will be started to connect The
Dalles by rail with the county to the

Good Work Done ON tho Read I4adinx
Into tho City From the East
The work of covering the brewery
hill with crushed rock. that was com
menced by the city about q month ago,
is at present about completed.
The city rock crusher was stationed
about half way up the grade, and from
that place crushed rock has been
hauled each way from the foot to the
top of the hill, and the road has been
covered with from six to Is inches of
fine rock, which when packed will
make very durable and solid road
bed. The improvement reaches from
the East end of Second street to the
city limits, distance of half mile,
and makes of the brewery grade, which
for several years past has been In fear
full condition, one of the best roads In
the county. The cost of the work whom
completed will be about $500. The ex-
pense is born by the city, the work
having been done under the super
vision OF Marshal Lauer.
Now II the county would take up the
work where the city has left OF, and
cover the road as far out as Eight-Mile'
with crushed rock, the most &c nerally
travelled throughfare In the county
would be put in splendid repair. The,
expense OF doing the work would not
be so great from the city limits on the
south as it was on the brewery grade,
possibly not more than $500 mile, as 4
400 loads of rock per mile would be
about all that would be required, and
the rock can be crushed and laid down
for rs cents load. More travel passes
over that piece Of road. than any other
in the county; in fact nearly all the
heavy loads come over it, and for this
reason the county court would be
justified in expending q considerable
amount OF money repairing it.
