BATTLE SHIP WISCONSIN.
When ArmOred She Must Go to Puget
Sound to BE Docked

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-The battle
ship Wisconsin, now building at the Union
Iron Works, will go on Hunters Point dry
dock next week to have her propeller put
on. All the barbette armor is in place on
the battle ship, but her side armor may not
be here for months. When the latter has
been put on the Wisconsin will be unable
to dock here, and that is why she is hav-
ing her wheel put in now. There is a pos
sibility of the Wisconsin having her trial
trip on Puget sound. With all her armor
on the only dock that will be able to ac-
commodate her will be Port Orchard and if
she has to go there she will remain on the
sound and have her government test there
instead of on Santa Barbara channel

TO ENLARGE SILVER COINS.
Proposition to Render Their Counter
feiting Improbable.

The discovery of a lot of bogus silver
half dollars in Pennsylvania is giving the
Treasury Department considerable anxiety.
The problem of bogus silver money is per-
picking when the great profit in manufac-
turing silver dollars is taken into account,
and the comparative ease in initiating the
governments stamp. 1t is suggested that
perhaps Congress may be induced to en-
Arge the silver coins so as to cut down
zhe present enormous profits in their pro-
duction. The transition would occasion a
considerable loss in book assets on the
treasurys accounts, and would doubtless
be resisted by the silver men in Congress
who like to keep up the Ii to / ratio in
every day currency. If it is finally found.
however, the only way effectually to stop
the issuance of bogus coins it may have to
be adopted.

OVER NINE MILLIONS.
Deficit This Month shown by Treasury
Statistics.

Today's treasury statement show a deficit
so far this month of $9,644, 900. or receipts
OF S20.606OO0 against expenditures of s3O.-
$4,000. This disparity is accounted for by
the fact that the new appropriations be-
come available with the new fiscal year.
and hence expenses always start in heavily
in July. Last year the expenditures for the
first twelve days of July were $3.50, 600 less
than for the same period this year; but the
receipts in the same time were nearly s.. :
100000 less than this year. Customs re-
ceipts have been thus far in July s7,O7S COO
and internal revenue receipts s12, ,dlS 600
Among the great expenditures pensions and
war are now running a close race each
costing in the first twelve days of this
month more than sS.00o.0o0 Three million
dollars have this month been paid In inter-
est on the public debt

The one does but little good for
himself or his neighbor, vhile the

Of course it takes all kinds of peo-

OPTIMIST AND PESSIMIST.

The varied climatic conditions of
late have emphasized most forcibly
the sudden changes that mans ma
ture is subject to. It is most won
derful what a pacifying influence
a ray of sunshine will have on a
man. If the weather is dark and
gloomy, the elements battling and
the rain pouring in binding sheets
it is but the nature of man to turn
sullen and perhaps just little des-
pondent. But when the sunbeams
break through the dark clouds,
when the elements cease their bat.
Ting and the war-clouds seem to
beat hasty retreat far over the
diltant horizon, then does man be-
come happy, he can again smile
joyously and all nature takes up
the glad refrain with him.
Then this too, brings up the two
classes of men,-taking man in
general, for the above alludes to
certain sets of men. There are
those who never see the bright side
of things. Such a man always
wears dark spectacles, fguratively
speaking Everything is dark to
him. He sees nothing bright,
good, nothing beautiful.
He does not seem to realize that
there is anything joyous in the
world, OF that there is any pleasure
about him. The other class of
men are those who see the gaity,
the pleasure, the beauty and the
bright, joyous side of life. While
the one continually has the ''blues"
and is unhappy, the other knows
naught of such an ailment and is
ever happy. The one is ever dis

PROFIT OUT OF LOSS.

The recent severe rain storm
seems to be over We cannot ac-
curately determine the damage
done to the grain, but it is great.
The question now is, how to han
die it that the loss may be reduced
to a minimum.
I will not undertake to discuss
the methods that should be pur-
sued for the remainder of the har-
vest, but l hope men of larger ex-
perience will give the farming pub
lie the benefit of their ideas.
That to which wish to call at
tention is the finding of a market
for the bleached wheat, which will
make good seed but will not go into
the breadstuff market. My thought
is that quite large amount could
be placed with the California rails
ers for seed. 1t is very beneficial
tn the wheat culture to change seed
occasionally. The Willamette val
ley wheat has, presume, the fin
est berry in the world.
If there could be prompt organi-
zation by. our wheatgrowers whose
crops have been damaged and a
few active, intelligent and reliable
men sent to California with SAM
Piles, large orders for seed wheat
might be secured.
am sure that the transporta-
tion companies and warehousemen
would serve the farm ers at very
low figure. I remember that they
did so in 1883 when we had to
bring seed from California.
For The eastern part of the coun-
try possibly a market for seed could
be found in the Dakotas.
The business head of the Grange
organization would be very efficient
in a move of this kinds. The state
fair meets soon and final action
could be decided upon there.
To accomplish anything in that
direction the move must be intel
ligently directed in harmony with
business methods.
In any event l think it would be
well for the farmers to endeavor to
prevent the mixing of different
kinds of wheat.
A thorough canvass of the feed
markets of the coast would be in
order from San Diego to Skagway.
the government is using a lar ge
amount of feed. l presume it is
supplied by contractors. Their
purchasing agents should be COM
municated with. lam not certain
what kinds Of feed are used, but
no. doubt some will feed. OF
course, there will be much dis
cussion about stall-feeding beet cat
Tie, fattening hogs, ETC., which is all
right. I wish to call attention to
the possibilities of finding mar
ket for the better qualities of bleach
ed wheat, and hope it may result
in bringing out some good and bene-
fetal ideas. J. d. LEE.

the let-go policy shut their eyes to
the surroundings and self eviden
facts. Will any one of these Aga
ninaldo sympathizers explain how
we can terminate the war until the
Tagals are whipped into submis-
sion? We must whip them or get
whipped, that is the burning ques-
ton at present, and there is no
room for any other. The insur-
gents commenced this war, they
threw down the gauntlet, defed the
authority Of fhes United States, and
trampled on Old Glory, and shall;
we, the great republic of the goth
century, show the white feather ad-
NIT that we are cravens, and make
our nation Kissing by-word among
the nations of the earth? In the
language of Patrick Henry, "For-
bid it, Almighty God!''
The same sickly sentiment that
is opposing the war opposed the
purchase of Louisiana and the ex-
pansion of the American govern
ment and American ideas westward
TO the Pacific ocean, involving the
necessity of subduing the following
formidable list of insurgents:
The Sioux: and the Algonquins, where
are these,
Where too are now the Hurons and Paw
nees,
! The Chickasaws, Oneidas and Shawnees.

WITH BRIGHTER PROSPECTS.

Ia another column will be found
an advertisement for bids for build
ing a system of sewerage for the city
of Corvallis and the Agricultural
College. Great credit is due to the
citizens of Corvallis for the prompt
and generous manner they have
responded to the appeal of the re-
gems of the college in the matter.
The college-in attendance at least
is the largest Institution Of learn
ing in the state, and all its SANTA
ry and other health assuring sur
roundings must be carefully and
promptly, attended to. Realizing
this, the board of regents at its last
regular meeting appointed a COM
mittee to wait on the city council
and if possible arrange for a sys-
tenn of sewerage by which the col
lege should build only it's proper
share.
AS above stated the city respond
ed promptly and now, after the
completion of the sewerage system
the college will have the most
healthful, as well, ,as the most beau
tiful institution of learning On the
Pacific Coast.
The coming term promises to ex-
eel all others in attendance, and
preparations are being made in
grand style for the comfort and
convenience of the students The
new Mechanical Hall is completed
and will furnish abundant class
rooms. The machinery is all in
place and is of the best and latest
patterns. The heating plant is
well under way and steam heaters
will be in all the main buildings
before cold weather comes.
