WOOL PRO-
tB. 8. 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

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 8,000,000 founds will find a market 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

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.

PRESIDENT HARRISON.
PORTLAND POLITICS.
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.

and rejoice in the thought and are
comforted in knowing that she has a

They Bear Testimony.
The United States supreme court re

of opinion of every civilized and christian

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.

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. -

An address of welcome in behalf of

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.
