Spanish War Buttons.

When Manila was captured, the
Second Oregon was the only regi-
ment to enter the city and receive
the surrender of the Spanish army
and arms. A number of fine old
bronze cannon were captured at
that time. One of them was
brought home and this splendid old
bronze, cast in Spain more than a
century ago, is now being made in
to souvenir buttons by a committee
of the volunteers, and the buttons
are being sold for the benefit of the
fund to erect handsome and artis-
tic monument to the memory of
the soldiers of Oregon who lost
their lives in the Spanish and Fill
pino war. The button is made
with a button back for men and
boys and pin back for ladies and
girls. The genuineness of the but
tons is attested by the certificate
of Brigadier- General O. Summer.
This is a valuable souvenir of the
war such as every adult and child
in Oregon would be pleased to pos
sess, especially as the entire pro-
ceeds Of the sale will go to erect a
splendid monument to serve as a
perpetual object lesson in patriot
ism to the youth of the state. The
buttons sell in any quantity at 25
cents each. The secretary of the
committee is Captain H. L. Wells,
Box 347, Portland, Oregon.

Diversified industry in an,

barometer which measures it.

one means of raising revenue

upon to supply the deficit.
Until recent years, wheat was
virtually the only source of in
come to Benton county, and
while the country was sparsely
settled and the price of this ar

was sufficient to meet all demands
of trade. But the foreign pro-
ductioa of wheat has brought
many competitors of the Oregon
wheat grower to the worlds mar
ket in the last twenty years and
the price of his ware has been
lowered, while his soil has re-
fused to give its accustomed yield
and the cost of producing it has
increased. Necessity, therefore;

other channels for the medium of
The latest venture
in this line, and it can not be too
warmly encouraged, is that of
Manager E. w. Strong of the
Corvallis sawmill. Being con-
vinced that Oregon hardwoods
are to become important in the
manufacturing world, aud there
fore in great demand, he decided
to build a factory for the purpose
of making plowbeans, spokes
hubs, felloes, axles, ak handles
and many other kinds OF wood
work for use in the manufacture
of agricultural implements and
farm machinery, utilizing for the
purpose the oak, ash, maple and
other woods that grow in Oregon
forests. A plant for carrying the
scheme into effect has already
been provided for. A building
4Sx5o, two stories high has al.
ready been begun. 1t is located
on vacant lots just south of the
Corvallis sawmill. The machin-
cry of the Martyr planning mill
has been purchased, and this, to-
gether with new machinery to be
usecred, will comprise the plant.
1t is expected to have the factory
in readiness to begin operations
within a few weeks. Nearly
every variety of hard wood ma
terial for manufacturing purposes
will be within the range of the
output of the new establishment.
In the past year Mr.. Strong has
manufactured and marketed a
vast quantity of hardwood lum-
ber. His present undertaking
will begin on limited and safe
basis, but with the successful in
PRODUCTION of the new material,
the plant and output will be
largely increased. It is to be
hoped tnat this enterprise will be
so successful that others will be
to invest in small
manufactures. Thus will en-
ployment be given our citizens,
and the idle resources of our
fields and forests be fashioned in
to desirable commodities which
will readily exchange for coin of
the realm.

POWER OF AUTHORITY.
Lack of Respect fer It Causes Many
Political Crimes.

The authority of the state is as
sacred in its own place as the author
ity Of the home, and that nation which
above all personal and individual
rights holds the law OF the land and
tie government of the nation IN the
laefsst esteem is the nation which will
iLs.fe rs final prosperity. And yet
there are those, and they are not in
small number, in this and other lands,
who rebel against the constituted au-
thorits : their government. and at the
same time consider themselves good
citizens European rulers have been
assassinated, two attempts have been
made upon the life of England's queen,
and in our country Presidents Lincoln
and Garfield were foully murdered.
And what was the primary cause of
these terrible tragedies? Nothing
more nor less than lack of respect
for constituted authority. And there
are those today who, while perhaps
they will not resort to such deeds OF
violence, nevertheless have hatred
of the government of the nation, be-
cause, forsooth, the political party
which they favor does not happen to
be in power. With such people. no
matter what the chief executive of the
nation does, it is wrong. No matter
how carefully political affairs, the af-
fairs of the nation, are planned and
managed, the whole government in
their opinion (anything but a humble
/ opinion, by the Way) consists of set
of thieves, robbers, money grabbers
and the like, who are only at the seat
of government with the one intention
IF seeing what they can make out of
their term of office. In some cases this
may be more or less true; but if it is,
It certainly does not excuse any loyal
and patriotic citizen of this great re-
public from being bound to pay his
need of homage and respect for the
constituted authority of the govern
ment of his eountry-Donohoes Maya
