Complaint was recently made in Port
land over the quality Of minced ham,
put up In a Chicago Hammond's) pack
ing house. Several persons were made sick
by eating it. Samples were sent to Ore
gon Agricultural college, where the chem
ISL discovered that the meat was

delegate to congress, by a large majority
over Samuel Parker, the Republican can
dldate, that the natives are not taI1ine
kindly to American ideas. The natives
also carried the legislature by a large
majority. The result of the election Is

be replaced on the throne The political
outlook is not encouraging, and the pros
peet Is that there will be trouble.
