Pasrne has just fornished the Oregonian with' some valuable statistics of the wool products of the counties bordering on the Columbia east of the Cascade mountains. He repeats the well known fact that "The Dalles is the largest wool growing delivery point in America." In the year 1888 the Moody warehouse handled 3,000,000 pounds of 5,000,000 pounds shipped from this point. Last year, notwithstanding the heavy mortality among sheep during the winter of 1889-90, the shipments from The Dalles. Arlington and Heppner are placed at a total of 6,316,720 pounds while the winter loss of sheep is esti mated at 220,000 head representing a loss in . wool of possibly 1,540,000 pounds more. Mr. Pague, supposes that these estimates represent, in a fair degree, the wool clip of Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow. Grant and Crook counties. These estimates are certainly under rather than over the true facts. Mr. Pague's investigations have confirmed all previous reports to the effect that the coming wool clip will probably be the lareest that Eastern Oregon has ever seen, while the quality of the wool promises to be the very best. It would seem that the wool industry was never in a more promising condition than it is at present. "Better prices for wool are expected this year . for several reasons the new tariff, cleaner wool and better quality." Mutton sheep are higher than we have ever known them to be in a residence of seventeen years on this coast. Mr. Pague reports the sale of a band of 4500 (70 per cent, wethers and 30, per cent. ewes) in Gilliam county for $2.85 a head to be delivered at the corral, after shearing, about May 1st. Mr. Pague winds up his article with the following : "A good range, healthy bands, excellent lambing season, good quality of wool and plenty of it, all tend to make the wool clip of 1891, now pro gressing, one of the most successful for many years." " DO NOT ATTEMPT TOO MUCH. 'Two million dollars is a whole lot of ' money and we greatly fear that the at- tempt to raise so large an amount for improving the Columbia may in the end result in nothing at all being done. It would be far better not to attempt so xnuch at the first especially when a very . effectual manner of relief can be afforded by a comparatively small snm. The most important obstruction in the whole river that requires to be overcome is be tween this city and Celilo. A road built ' from The Dalles to Grants on the Oregon : side would connect the upper and middle ' river and afford immediate and valuable relief. The products of Sherman county could be shipped on the cars at Grants or Biggs and be carried to Portland ' Astoria by the boat service on the mid' die and lower river. The long dry per iod in the fall is peculiarly favorable for ' carrying wheat and other products on cheap system of flat-boats if the steamer .was found inadequate to handle all the freight offered as it certainly . would be, Add to this a boat or two additional the upper river and we have a system that would give immense relief and the whole need not cost probably over (500, OOO. . it Portland wants an open river . she could soon raise this amount, whereas if two millions are attempted to raised before anything is done the chan ces are people will get discouraged the magnitude of the sum and do noth ing at all. The sum of $500,000 judic ioosly expended as above outlined would do more for Portland and Eastern Ore gon than Hunt's two million subsidy for a road on the Washington side. by an open river has treated this new transportation company, ever since its inception, with remarkable coldness. - It was noticed as an ominous sign that at the meeting held lately in Portland there was a notable absence of the leading capitalists of the city. There is a marked contrast in the present indifference of the Oregonian compared with its in tensity when the Hunt two million sub scription was being raised. Then arti cle after article appeared, urging the people to subscribe. Now the paper contents itself with little more than a mere record of what has happened. When the capitalists of Portland want an open river real bad the Oregoni&n will get np and shake itself, and not till then. THE STATISTICIAN'S REPORT. The April report of statistician J. R. Dodeeis at hand and contains much valuable and interesting information. It is the result of the April investiga tions relative to the condition of winter wheat and rye and the comparative healthfulne88 of farm animals. Referring to the present condition of wheat, the season at seeding, winter growth and protection and damage from freezing and thawing the report says: formly favorable replies to mark a present condition much higher than usual at the date of this report. While the present bright prospect does not insure a large yield it indicates a development of the plant which will go far toward securing it. The position of wheat growers is further strengthened by the threatened deficiency in the com ine ctod in competing countries which is indicated in commercial reports XriBK in uaiimg circTes, aiiiTtucrelu been more activity on the streets, and better feeling has prevailed throughout since last report. Our produce market is quiet, changes to record in ' prices. In the wheat markets, the past week has show activity and an advance is noted. The Eastern and European markets are more or less excited, owing to rumors afloat that there are to be European troubles across the Rhine, and that already there is an outlook for short crops in France and other parts of Europe. The present indications are that wheat will be in better price than it was last vear, as London predictions are that there will be a shortage of 125,000,000 bushels over the proceeding year : how true this mav be, time will tell Wool has commenced to arrive, and the "very excellent staple of samples which are received indicate a superior product and reports are favorable for the largest wool clip this season, ever brought to market. Undoubtedly from5,000,000 to 8,000,000 founds will find a market in this city this year, The Dalles having established the fact in the past years that it is the wool cen ter of Eastern Oregon, and also that wool buyers can get any quality or quan The tin- titv. has made it the wool market for all Queries the seller and the buyer. This will see a larger number of wool men this market, than formerly, as there will be a larger quantity in store than ever before. As yet, no market price named but our small lot that came in 15 cents per pound was offered and was refused. We look for sharp competition as .soon as the season is fully opened, Real Estate:: There has been but little movement since last report. Some in OUR DISTBICT FAIR. ".-. The managers of our agricultural dis trict fair will do everything in their power to make the coming one a success They are more than pleased to adopt any suggestion , that will please the farmers and stock raisers and induce them to take an interest in the fair. At the suggestion of the Chronicle the sec retary most willingly made such a change in the premium list of horses from past . years, that a premium will be offered in every standard class besides the usual sweep-stakes. This will give nearly every man owning a fine horse at least two chances for a premium one in the class to which he belongs and one in the ' sweep-stakes. If the farmers will only take half the interest that the directors are taking to make the coming fair success we have no doubt as to what the result will be. A PROFITABLE BARGAIN. .The purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867 for the sum of $7,200,000 has turned out to be a very profitable piece f business for the United States. Since that time nearly fifty million dollars worth of furs have been shipped from the territory and sold in the London 'market. Since 1884 the salmon fisheries have yielded $7,500,000, and the cod .fisheries over $3,000,000 during the last twenty years. The . herring fisheries yield annually 150,000 gallons of oil and 1000 tons of fertilizing material, while the whalers catch in 1890 yielded 226,402 pounds of bone, and 3980 pounds of ivory and 14,567 barrels of oil, and dnr ih'g the samp year . the production of gold amounted to $700,000. , Nothing of note has been done yet to ward raising the money to construct a . portage railroad between The Dalles and uenio, and to put a line of steamers on the upper and middle Columbia, for Wpich purpose the Oregon, Washington A Idaho Railroad and Transportation Company was organized at a recent meeting of delegates from all parts of the Northwest. The articles of incor poration will be filed as soon as signed by the incorporators, of whom there are thirty-one, and as they live in throe states it will be sometime before all sign. Oregonian. , We very seriously doubt, and it Is with much regret that we say it, that anything will soon be done in this mat- The general average condition of winter good bargains have been offered but the wheat over the United States at this time is 96.9, "an April figure which has been exceeded but once in ten years and but three times in the history of crop reporting bv this department." This high condition indicates a stand, strength and vitality which wiil enable the plant to endure more than ordinary viscissi tndes of the season. The state averages of last vear, for Oregon and California are as follows : Oregon 92, California 71 The returns for the present month for these two states are Oregon 97, Cal ifornia 99. The state of Washington is not included in the report. The most striking fact in connection with the live stock returns in the exemption of sheep from loss during the year. Taking the states of Oregon, and Washington as those in which our readers are 'most in terested the number and losses in horses, cattle, sheep and hogs are as follows : Oregon horses 181,236 head: losses 1.8 per cent or 3,262 head. Washington 148,291 head ; losses 1.7 per cent or 2,- 521 head. Oregon cattle 826,632 head ; losses 2.4 per cent or 19,839 head. Wash- ington 635,262 losses 2.3 per cent or 12, 311 head. - Oregon sheep 2.431,759: losses from all causes 4 per cent or 97.270 head. The losses from winter exposure is placed at 2.3 per cent. . Washington sheep number 673.060 head. The losses from all causes are 3 per cent, from winter exposure 1.2 per cent. Oregon swine number 229,639 : the losses are 2.3 per cent or 5.282 head. Washington numbers 147.713 .head ; the losses are 2.5 per cent or 3,693 head. These are re markably small losses and taken in con nection with rising prices and the pros pects of a more extended market thev indicate prosperous time for the stock farmer. A SENSIBLE RULING. Many of the settlers on the forfeited railroad lands who are entitled to pur chase 320 acres are at a loss to know what to do when their lands are not all in one body, as for example, when a portion of the lands may corner with another portion or where they may be wholly separated, say in two or three different sections or townships, and still do not exceed in the aggregate 320 acres, it may oe interesting for such persons to know that the register of The Dalles land office, believing that he is acting according to the spirit of the forfeiture act has decided to receive applications for the purchase or location of lands so situated only requiring that each tract shall be filed upon separately. That is, if there are two tracts there must be two filings, and both can be done at the same time. The office here has no in structions from Washington to this effect and there is a bare possibility that its ruling in this matter may not be sustained, but judging from the ap parent desire of the department to treat the settlers generouslvf such a result is far from probable. The evident in ten tion of the . law is to give the right to purchase, to the person qualified, of the full amount of 320 acres and the bill says nothing about requiring the whole to be in one body. Our readers may re member that Mr. Hermann called the attention of the commissioner of the, general land office to this matter several weeks ago and urged that the local land offices be instructed to receive filings in harmony with the evident intent of the law but with the slowness that charact erises every movement of a Washington official nothing has as yet been done, Meanwhile we are pleased to learn that the good sense of the register here has anticipated the slowness of the general land office and made a ruling that ought to, and we believe will be sustained. demand is weak and but few transfers are noted.

To a man up in the moon the political situation in Portland should be very in teresting as affording an illustration of practical politics 'in a large American city. There are the two factions in the republican party led respectively by Joe Simon and Jim Loton, like two hungry mastiffs fighting for the possession of the same bone, while a smaller dog of the democratic persuasion watches intensely the chance for picking it np and running off with it while the fight is going on. Meanwhile neither party or faction cares picayune for the interests of the city government. They are after the bone or the boodle, which is the same thing. Give either party the offices and the city government may go to perdition. Chicago Wheat Market. Chicago, 111., April 23.

They Bear Testimony. The United States supreme court re cently said: "By general concurrence of opinion of every civilized and christian community, there are few sources of crime and misery to society equal to the saloons." Add to this the testimony of Chief Justice Coleredge, of England. W. E. Gladstone, Cardinal Manning and Can on Far ran. Dr. Howard Croalylasserted that in 25 years experience among the tenement house class of New York City, he found not one case of destitution that could not be traced to drink. General Booth, in his "Darkest Eng land" says : The drink habit lies at the root of all trouble. - Nine tenths of our poverty, squalor, vice and crime spring from this poisonous tap-root. "Money For He Breachln'." It was election day. A minister of the gospel ( ?) and a German brewer met at tbe polls. Brewer.

Robert J. Bordett on Continental Tern perance. If there is one passage in the letters of American travelers in Europe more tiresome than another it is this : "Dur ing bur six weeks' stay in Paris we did not see a single drunken person." Then they travel through Switzerland, Ger many, Austria, Italy and Spain, and all France, and still they do not se drunken person. They attribute the sobriety of the people to the fact that everybody drinks wine and beer ; drink it all the time and lots of it, with no high license and prohibition nonsense to bother them; consequently they never get drunk. Well, now, the onlv infer ence one can draw from these remark able letters is either that the writers themselves were blind drunk all the time they were in Paris, or the Parisian drunkard is a most successful hider. Because while our travelers last year did not see a single instance of drunkenness in Paris, the official police records state that the police of Paris saw and arrested on an average, 150 people every day be tween January 1 and April 30. for being drunx on tne streets, bo many drunk ards are not arrested in New York, and yet tnese travelers of ours always con trast the sobriety of Europe with the ex cesses of America. It is lust as well to bear in mind the official report while reading these letters, and perhaps if the writers drank less and thought more they would remember that official re turns will not always agree with letters from the guide-book. - A Republican League Meets in Cincin natti -The Speakers Fear the Farmers' Alliance. Four Carloads of Pinkerton's Hired As sassins Ready to Shoot Down the Strikers. Cixciknatti, April 21. Delegates to the republican League convention ar rived in great 'numbers this morning. At headquarters everybody is busy with preliminary arrangements. The music hall, where the convention is to be held is beautifully decorated with flags and bunting. An address of welcome in behalf of the state' was given by Ex-Governor Foraker. President Thurston then delivered an address. Speaking of the farmers' al liance movement, he said the importance must not be understated by the republi can party. The hope of the democratic party today, he declared, is based on its ability to combine with the alliance or an electoral ticket in the western states and thereby throw the election of the president into the house of representa tives. He said if republicans expected to hold the allegiance of the western people they must see to it that western inter ests are recognized and western demands given fair consideration in legislative and administrative affairs. WESTWARD HO! to Mexico Joins Hands With Texas Honor President Harrison. El Paso, Texas, April 21. The presi dential party arrived here this morning. The reception here was a perfect ova tion, American and Mexican representor tives of President Diaz vieing with others in their efforts to honor President Harrison. The city hall was decorated with the American and Mexican colors and troops of both countries were drawn up at the station to receive the distinguished vis itors'. When the party alighted from the train a salute of twenty-one guns was fired. Governor Carillo, of Chihauhau, and staff and General Rangell, with battery, artillery and military band, participated in the reception as representatives of President Diaz, of Mexico, who was un able to be present. The distinguished visitors were escort ed to tbe court house where a formal address was made. When the procession reached the nearest point to the Mexican line the artillery of that country fired a salute in honor of President Harrison.
