The Merits of the Mule.

The average farmer Of the Northwest
probably is not aware of the fact that
an average mule salls for $40 per head
more than horses. Such Is the case,
and the price has been gradually ris-
ing for number of years.
There has never been what would
be called an over production OF mules
while the market has often been un-
able to fully supply the trade.
The ability of the mules to endure
great heat has brought 1t into most
general use in the Southern states,
where large farms are devoted entire
ly to raising them.
The mule natures more quickly than
the horse, and can be placed on the
market from one to two syears sooner
than the average horse this means a
large profit to the producer and quick.

A well-fed mule can be worked at
two years of age with safety, II proper
Judgment is exercised by the driver.
They are much less nervous than a
horse, thus not so liable to accident
or blemish. A blemish that would
make fine horse Tunsaleable would
take but trifle from the price of a
mule. They sell simply for the work
they seem able to do rather than for
their appearance. The mule buyer

Indpe Cakes Qualifications.

No man IN Oregon is better qualified
to represent the interest of this state
than II. NJ. Cake of Portland, candi-
date for United States Senator. Mr..
Cake has been an active leader, during
the past few years, in the movement
to remove jealous feelings between
different portions of the state, and it
is to him, more than any other one
man, that Oregon is indebted for the
present policy recently inagurated for
the up building of our natural re-
sources.
Oregon is sure to make gigant ic
strides in the next few years. when
great questions effecting its growth
and development are certain to rise.
This will require in the Senate a
strong, energetic aud capable man,
who is thoroughly in harmony with
the growing interests of the state.
Such man is II. M. Cake, and the
people of Oregon can certainly trust
to him to ably represent their inter
ests in the United States Senate.
