THEY DON'T AGREE.
Missouri-Kansas Telephone Company
Failed to Report All Its Wires

The letters County Clerk Newman
sent to the township trustees. calling for
statements as to the miles of wire Of
the telegraph and telephone companies
in the various townships, has brought
to light that in Menoken township, at
least the reports made by the Missouri
& Kansas Telephone company do not
agree with the mileage of wire.
The telephone company reported to the
state assessors that twelve wires were
carried through Menoken township for
a distance of five miles. The trustees
report to Mr. Newman that there are
twenty-four wires strung length Of
five miles. It is likely that the phones
are on a double circuit and that the
telephone company reports circuit as
one wire The law requires that the
number of wires be given

Attention,
FdrmerS:

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round If you are a stock
raiser you know your stock
are now eating their heads
off, and, besides, have to be
protected from the rigors OF
winter by expensive shelter.
Cost of production determines
place of production, and Ala
bama and Florida can produce
beef and sheep cheaper than
any other state, and must be-
come the center of a great in
dustry already begun. Econ
omical stock feeding requires
the combination of both flesh
forming and fat-forming foods
in certain proportions. Ala
bama and Florida contain mill
lions of acres of unutilized
cheap range, and these lands
when cultivated produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassava. the first a flesh pro-
Queer, and the latter a fat pro-
Queer. and they are the cheap
est and best fattening ma
terials known to the world Il

subject, address

IRRIGATION IN INDIA.

A great amount of irrigation
work has been done in India during
the last 40 years, the Indian
Government having i'll that time
spent SlOO,OOO,00O on irrigation
works. and as much in building
railroads. OF the latter there are
now about 25,OOO miles, and they
traverse the arid plains as we'll as
the liver valleys; and the irriga-
ton canals water 100000 acres
of land classed as arid before their
construction. That this work has
been profitable is shown by an
Indian commercial report just
published, which states that the
products of the irrigated lands last
wear exceeded in value 800, ,OOO,-
900. or the total cost of the irrigat-
ing works. The railroads have
developed interior districts and
helped to build up large cities, and
these two agencies have gone far
to prevent the recurrence of wide
spread famine.
In 1857, before the improve
ments were made, the commerce o.
India was s72,OO0,000 in imports
and s12S,000,000 in exports, while
last year the imports amounted tt
s264,OOO,O00 and the exports tt
s392,OO0,O0O, making India com
mercially the sixth country in the
world. What has thus been &C
complished in India may be al
encouragement and serve as a use
full lesson to Americans in the con
templated work of irrigatiDg tn
arid lands of our Western state
and territories.-Ex.

OF course it will be the privilege,
if not the duty, Of the Democrats
of the First Oregon District to
nominate a candidate for Congress
to be voted for at the special cleo

has but the slightest imaginable
chance of election. Mr. Weather.
ford probably made as good run
last June as any Democrat could
do now or any time this year, and
he was several thousand votes

be induced to stand for the empty

The Oregonian is offering some
very strong arguments in favor of
the Lewis and Clark fair apprla-
ton. The paper says: "The great
sum asked for the Exposition
ought not to be wasted. 1t IS a
public fund, and is taken from the
people to assist in great forward
movement, calculated to benefit
the Pacific Coast, the great North

great benefit to Oregon, if it is a
success, and to be a success there
must be liberal appropriation.

and the great industrial and rail-

Here is chance for Oregon,
Washington and Idaho to hold up

these three states the Legislature

of them pass joint memorial to

trust legislation at this session aud
calling upon its own Senators and
R representatives in Congress to
further such legislation by all
means in their power. Mention
the President and refer to the
recommendations of his message.

the President and Governor Nc
Bride. How better can it's sim
cerity be shown than by joint

Idaho has just elected Senator

word of approval for the Presi-
dents position?
