Worthy of Consideration.

The production OF Oregon wheat,
WOOL hops, fruit. fish, lumber and
gold brings millions of dollars into
Oregon each year All these vast mil
lions do little to permanently enrich
the state if the money is sent away
for commodities made elsewhere.
The only way to build up this state is
to give preference to Oregon made
goods. Life Insurance premiums
drained us last year of more than one
million dollars. This money can, and
should be kept here. The Oregon Life
Insurance company is a well-organ-
lied home concern managed by we'll
known Oregonians. Every dollar paid
for premiums is invested in safe Ore
son securities, and the interest or
profits on these securities are also in
vested here.

CAVE OF THE WINDS.
Tfc Vision Carved In Stone Under
It's Hills of Dakota.

It's Hills of Dakota.
The great wind cave has the form of
an eight story house, each story, or
stratum, containing a distinct forma-
ton of its own and each containing
chambers Of size and magnificence Of
decoration such as have never been
found in any subterranean cavern Of
the world.
1t is dream, nightmare, a vision,
carved in solid stone under the green
hills of Dakota, stone as white as the
milk the hired man used to give us to
drink in the dawn Of happy June
morning, stone as red as the heart Of
the first bloodroot that you dug in the
spring when the world was all spring
to you and stone that is blue with a
blue that all the painters who have
ever painted Venice have tried to get
for generations and have failed.
Frozen fountains are there, white
with the leaping foam of untold ages,
sculptured cats and horses and great
monsters to be dreamed about O.
nights and feared in dark corners in
the daytime, organs built by the
hands of giant gnomes for Titan to
play wild hymns of praise upon, a
kitchen for the cooking Of weird dishes
never thought of up here in the sun
shine, all manner and all kinds of
rooms, ninety miles of them, down
there under the hoofs of the gallant
little range horses who pound the
grass into hay the year round, up there
in South Dakota.

WASCO COUNTY SHEEP.

Bands Having Scab.

One of the greatest, If not the
greatest, Industries in wasco county,
is the sheep business. and though lack
of range has caused many to abandon
what has always been one of the
best paying industries open to resi-
dents Of the county, there are still a
large number who are gaining in
earthly goods by sticking to the wool,
says the Dalles Chronicle
Some idea of the extent of the
business may be obtained from tn.
semi-annual report of Stock Inspector
p. ]. Walsh, from which we find thai
there are 20 bands in the county, and
a total of 1852 sheep.
Mr., Walsh says that in examining
the various bands he found two bands
infected with scab and, in accordance
with the law, had them dipped twice
so that all sheep in the county are
now free from disease.
