Experimenting With Hops.

The Oregon Experiment Station is
conducting an investigation of hops and
hop-drying which promises to give some
very interesting and in all probability
highly valuable results. While the in
vestigations have not yet been carried
far enough to warrant formal announce
ment OF what has been done, it has been
found already that the popular opinion
of the location and development of lupu-
lin is wrong. The common method of
drying hops carries off much of the lup-
ulin as it becomes quite volatile If the
temperature to which it is exposed rises
above ITO degrees. The station has con-
structed apparatus by which it expects to
be able to ascertain how much of the lup-
ulin is carried off in the air when hops are
dried in the ordinary way. 1t is also
With various methods Of
drying hops by which this loss may be
reduced without increasing the cost OF
drying. 1t is hoped that as result of
these experiments. Oregon hop growers
may be supplied with inforaation which
will enable them to'give their product an
even better reputation than the Oregon
hops now enjoy.

WE HAVE SOME IN OREGON.

The country will hear with
surprise and regret that Speaker
Henderson has written a letter to
his constituents in the Dubuque
district declining to be candi-
date for reelection. Mr.. Hen
derson gives as a reason the fact
that free trade disaffection exists
in the district, and, as a sincere
protectionist, he will not yield
his convictions. This result
comes from the spurious republi-
canism that has been cultivated
in Iowa by academic cranks and
secret enemies of the republican
party. There are expressions on
the tariff in the Iowa republican
platform that are not to be found
in any national platform of the
party, and never will be endors-
ed by republicans in general.
These uneasy so-called Iowa re-
publicans, gladly aided by DEM
ocrats, have squirmed about un-
til they have disgusted a square,
consistent republican like Hen
cerson, who is serving his ninth
term in the house, and holds the
highly important position of
speaker. His district must con-
tain a fair assortment of political
idiots to force such an able man
and commanding figure from the
track. Is it not time for republi-
cans to call a halt or members of
the party, no matter how high
their station, who are trying to
lead the party into the mire and
calamity of free trade theorizing,
based on the palpable falsehood
that protection is responsible for
the existence of trusts?-St Louis

fhe Fire in Afsea.

Richard Zahn carfie out from
his A1sea home, Friday, and
brought load of cascara bark
with him. He reports that the
fires which recently swept
through the forests of the Coast
Ranges are about out row. Here
and there one will run across an
old stump or partially decayed
log that is smouldering.
Dick says that he and his
brother owe their escape from be-
ing burned ont to the tact that
their ranch is stocked with goats.
Goats are good browsers and
kept the fern we'll down on the
tract of land they Craze over.
As it was, the flames came with
in a couple of hundred yards OF
the line of their land.
Mr.. Zahn says that in his part
of the country about two sections
of good timber was destroyed by
fire. Where the timber was
wholly green it did not burn very
badly, but take quarter-section
of timber that had thirty or forty
acres of dead timber on it and
the chances of any timber, dead
or green. escaping destruction
| were slim, indeed. The dead
timber in such a case acted as
kindling, as it were.
The fires burned to the very
edge OF Alsea valley and had the
| wind continued from the north a
day or SO longer, Mr.. Zahn says
there would have been nothing
left of Alsea, save the name. The
fires once started in the stubble
fields and no power on earth
could have stopped them. Luck
lily, the wind died down IN the
| niche o'time, and to this, ano
nothing else, is due the fact that
Alsea is on the map today, he
declares. AS it was, one or two
residents were partly burned out,

The College.

The Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Oregon is finely located at Cor.
Wallis in the heart of the Willamette Val
lev. There are evidences that this in :
stitution has not progressed in the past
as it should have done. The farmers of
Oregon have been far too careless and in
different to this institution, peculiarly
their own. The sleepy ones are still
sleeping. but there are good many in
the state who are pretty well awake now.
adays, and matters are rapidly changing
for the better. A large, well constructed
building is now nearly completed, which
will be occupied wholly by the agricnl-
tural department. DR.. Withycombe
with his associates will have ample room
for all the requirements of his force for
some time to come. The building is a
fine structsre architeeturally and cred
| it to all concerned
Oregon farmers are remiss in that they
do not back up DIR. Withycombe in his
efforts to advance the animal industry at
this institution as they should. The Ag-
riculturaI College is struggling as best il
can, carrying on farmers institute work
with but little or no direct financial sup
port from the state. The next legisla-
ture OF Oregon should give its agricultur
al college at least 5000 annually for this
one line of effort. Twice that sum could
be expended with the certainty of mag
nifcent results for the investment
