Philofnafh Celebration.

Philomath is going to have a
real old-fashiened Fourth of July
celebration. One of these events
where patriotism uanifests itself
in cheers for "O1d Glory" the
screaming Of the eagle, burning
oratory, martial music, aud mu-
tnal admiration. The efete civ
ilizatien OF Albany and other
towns may content itself with
jostling crowds, striped bunting
and circus lemonade, but Phile-
math invites you to celebration
Ia the open air, a genuine love

The parade will form at the
town hall at o:3o and march to
the grove west of the village,

viii Start an Organ Factsry.

The carriage factory is to be again
mi u oneration. II has a new
os,e.i, K VI { amer, of Dallas, Or
egen. Lass Sau j4y evening Mr..
Thomas Jenkins dis posed Of the
building and plant for 81, 800, and
is now speeding for his home in I'll
inois.
Mr.. Cramer is proprietor of the
organ factory at Dallas and it is his
intention to convert the carriage fac
tory into concern for the manufac-
tury of organs. He will arrive here
in few days and will employ a
force of men to complete the unin-
ished vehicles new on hand. 1t is
hoped that orders now being filled
for organs at Dallas will be COM
pleted by fall, when the factory will
be removed to Corvallis. Should it
be found impossible to begin opera
tions here at that time, the plant
here will be running by the first of
January next at the latest. A force
of eight men are new employed,
but with the opportunities offered
here for an increased out-put, a
larger number of men will no doubt
find employment.
The Corvallis and Benton County
Prune company which assisted Mr.
Cramer la the purchase, has secur-
ed the big SO-horse.power boiler
and 50-horse-power engiae at the
factory and will begin. moving them
to the big orchard today, where
they will be used in operating a
mammoth dryer with a capacity
of from 200 to 1900 bushels per
day. This will be the largest dryer
in the world. The orchard will
probably yield 10000 bushels of
prunes this season, and the services
of the big dryer as well as the old
two-tunnel dryer will be required
in curing them. Mr.. Cramer will
replace the engine and boiler with
smaller machines.

For Copying the Rolls.

Assessor Fl. L. Bush has nearly
completed the work Of assessing
for this yeaf. About taoath
age he decided to let the work
OF copying the Benton county
assessment rolls out to the lowest
bidder who was both competent
and reliabIe. Accordingly he
advertised the matter. The fol-
lowing bids were received: Miss
Mildred Linville, $137; W. A.
McGhee, $50; Miss Winnie
Cameron, $13o; Herman Brayer,
$125, and N. Tartar, $I1o. !
The bids were all fairly close
together and were all from reli-
able and competent persons.
Mr.. Tartar, being the lowest
bidder, was awarded the contract.
The work Of copying the rolls is
to begin on July 9th and must
be completed in time for presen-
tation at the regular meeting of
September term of the county
court. Although he has the
work far enough along for the
work OF copying to begin at any
time now, there is still sefne run
Ming about that will eecuDy Mr..
Bush's time.

At a recent meeting Mr.. Smith
is quoted as saying:

with the farmers, anyway, and
they seemed to think that the
average farmer knows all about
farming and cannot be told any
thing about. Said he fads that
those who know all about il are
not successful aud are blaming
the. country, climate, ETC., for
the non productiveness of their
farms when the difficulty is thai
they don't know how and are NOT
willing to learn. When he finds
man that is willing to learn
and asks questions for the pur-
pose of gaining infermr N he
finds prosperous farrne says
he finds some farmers who un-
derstand their business and are
progressive, but he finds that
majority are not. Ie is not the
farm that is bad, but the farmer.
There are great many more
poor farmers than farms. They
allow the barnyard manure to ac-
curnulate around the barn when
the land is hungry for it."
Beyond doubt Mr.. Smith IS
most competent and capable man
and he appears to have thor
ough grasp on the troubles that
beset the average farmer. It is
to be hoped that the meeting
this week will be we'll attended.

Capitol Bonds Sold.

OLYMPIA, Wash, March 21-Tha
$3.50, 600 in capitol warrants are sold
and there is now nothing in the way to
stop the purchase j of the -Thurston
county court house for use as state
capitol building. This announcement
was made tonight by Gov. Rogers,
after an executive session of the capitol
commission, at which all members
were present. The purchasers of the
warrants have placed in the hands of
the state treasurer a. forfeit of $25, 900 in
cash and the balance Of the amount is
to be turned over to the state treasurer
by April l.
Until the money is actually avail
able, the commission can make no con-
tracts. The meeting this evening was
spent i'll discussingplans and architects.
w. A. Ritchie, of Spokane, who de-
signed the court house, is here and met
with the commission. w. HI. Rogers,
ex-clerk of Lewis county, a Democrat
has been appointed secretary protein
and will probably be, elected permanent
ly. The commission spent the after
noon in inspecting the court house and
grounds.
1t is understood from reliable sources,
however, that the, capitol warrants
were purchased by the Capital Nation
al bank, of Olympia.-P. I.

Salmon Scarcity.

Recent discoveries by statisticans and
students of the fisheries business indi-
cate that there are few thousand peo-
pie who might proftably be looking
for some other source of revenue than
the catching and canning of salmon.
A forest Of traps, and millions of con-
sumers all over the globe must inev-
itably bring scarcity of the most val
liable food fish that is produced. The
salmon of the northwest coast has not
found the appreciation he is entitled to
until recently. For years ago the sock
eye salmon entered the Sound in such
numbers that they had to be spilled out
of the traps and thrown away. No one
thought then that they would ever be
scarce, but it is now generally admitted
that the supply must be replenished
artifically 1t remains to be seen
whether this can be accomplished to
an extent that will employ the traps
and canneries now in use. The ex-
perience of the past three years leads to
the conclusion that it cannot be done.
If the run ofIsalmOn fails to meet the
reasonable expectations of the fisher
men this year, the impending destruct-
ion of the species will be charged to the
traps, and legislation for their abolish
ment is likely to follow. A compare
lively small portion of the fish were
caught in 1897. Enough of them should
have reached the spawning grounds to
bring run this year nearly as large as
that of four years ago.-Reveille.

Some good foreign orders for lumber
are being booked by Washington mills
which; with the appreciable inlarge-
ment in local trade and the increasing
call from interior sections, wherever
freight rates are fixed at competitive
basis, promise TO give the mills anoth-
q aative and fairly prosperous year.
Increasing distribution is of a satisfac-
tory and apparently permanent char
acter, promising to keep the great in
dustry moving along the upward path.
The manufacture and distribution OF
Washington's timber products in the
form OF lumber and shingles has reat h.
ed an assured position, where it will
continue to add to the wealth of the
state in increasing measure. What is
now needed is added stimulus to the

The Governor has finally mustered
book BILL and his message, as given
above, is simply lot of puerility, an
echo of the so-called argument used by
unthinking or inexperienced persons
in discussing the question. The figures
prepared by the author of the bill were
not refuted during the whole session of
the legislature they were simply ire
futable and proved that every school
patron in the state was forced to pay
tribute to the present 'book-trust" at
least dollar year in excess of what
the same series of books could be bought
in the retail stores, books far beyond
comparison. His excellency admits he
has not seen the books now in use in
our public schools. To quote: "Some of
the selections undoubtedly, however
hard it might bear upon the children
to study them, afford laughter and
score for both gods and men," They
do even more, Governor, they rob the
parents as well as the children, and the
Governor does approve the heartless
| scheme.
The Governor strives to make point
i'll that thirty-six different selections
might be made in the state, each county
have different series of books. This
is greatly exaggerated, but even SO the
present books are not worth the freight
from one county to another, and it is
shown that not over per cent. of the
school children SO migrate. What are
text books anyhow, but simply the We
hlcle used by the teacher for imparting
knowledge. The fundamental rules
principles and systems are the same in
all, (even much of the matter in the
present books is cribbed literally and
bodily from standard text booksl. Evi-

comes to problems not set down in the
