FENCING GOVERNMENT LAND.
An act of congress passed in February
1885 makes the fencing of government
land a criminal offence and fixes the
punishment at a fine, not to exceed $1000
or imprisonment not to exceed one year,
The act makes it the dnty of the United
States district attorney to prosecute of
fenders, and the pnnishment applies to
all connected with the work of patting
np the fence.
Bat the case is supposed of a person
owing land so situated that by building
a fence 'entirely on his own land he can
enclose more or less government land
and the question is asked : does such
case-come within the provisions of the
act? Can the government destroy the
fence or punish the man who built it?
The supreme court of Wyoming had
, such a case before it and the court' de
cided in favor of the defendant. The
court held that the statute so far as
forbids, as a nuisance, the erection by
person of a fence wholly within the
limits of his own land, is not a legitimate
exercise of the police power but an un
warranted invasion of private property
and is unconstitutional and void, and
that said act was not intended to forbid
the erection by a land owner of a fence
wholly within the limits of his own land.
In this case the fence already built
had been destroyed and the judge in ex
plaining the grounds of the court's de
cision said: "Though my fields shall
have never a rail upon it, yet my neigh
bor dare not make it his pathway with'
out my consent. lie cannot use my
land any more than he can use my horse,
He cannot tramp my grass any more
than he can cut my trees. The fence
line destroyed what greater facility of
access to the government sections will
the Dublic then have than if the fence
had remained? In the former case
nhvsicial obstacle would be out of the
way but a legal obstacle would remain,
The former may be stepped over ; the
latter presents an impassible barrier,
The fence is on the defendant's land,
Remove it and the land remains, Who
shall go upon it without the owner's con.
sent? Shall the government descend to
the plane of a trespasser? TJnquestion
ably a right of way can be obtained, but
it must be bought and paid for in the
manner prescribed for the condemna
tion of lands. Moreover, the line of
pathway must be described and the
transit of the public limited to that line,
THE FARMER AND THE MULE.
FIRST. SECOND.
The mule is stronger The farmer is stron
than the man. Tho' ger than the monop-
the mule is much
stronger than the
man, the man man
ages the mule for
his own purpose ;he
puts a bridle on
him, and a saddle ;
and rides on his
back. He puts a
harness made of
leather, on the mule
. and by speaking to
turn and giving rum
plenty of licks, in
duces him to walk,
pull a wagon, and
while the man gets
into the wagon and
rides. The mule
does much hard
work, but all the
money gained by
the mule's bard
work, the man ap
propriates to him
Belf . The mule lives
very roughly, is fed
in a trough, and
sleeps on the ground
or in a little straw.
The man eats at a
table, and sleeps in
a warm bed. The
mule is a very use
ful animal to the
olist. Tho' the farm.
er is stronger than a
monopolist, the mo
nopolist manages
him for his own pur
pose. He put a bri
die, called loyalty to
party, in nis mouth,
and a saddle on his
back, and rides bim
where he wills. He
puts a harness made
of prejudice, on the
tanner, and by mate
ing speeches to him,
and giving him plen
ty of tatty, induces
him to walk and
draw the monopo
list's carriage. The
farmer does much
hard work but the
money gained by the
farmer's work the
monopolists appro
priates to himself.
The farmer has be
come poor, and he
lives roughly, on
mortgaged farm,and
eats plain food from
deif and tin plates,
The monopolist has
become wealthy .and
eats from fine china
and silver plate, and
sleeps on a downy
bed. The farmer is
very useful to the
monopolist.

SOUND ADVICE.
We like the ring of the Buffalo Express
In an article under date of May 6th
headed, "Put On Tour Kicking Clothes."
The Expreu is a republican paper and
the advice is given to its own party but
there is no reason in the world why the
democratic party, should not consider
itself equally admonished. The farmers1
movement is by no means bo mucn an
endorsement of democracy as it is a re
buke of republicanism. If this move
ment has no other result than that of
compelling the old parties to put forward
only their best men for office it will have
accomplished something that every
American citizen should be devoutly
thankful for. The Express says :
- Last year proved a very off year for
republican politicians. This year will
be more so. It will be difficult work to
elect' any republican candidates yet we
hear of the aspiration of a number of
''party hacks." If these tender shoots
have not been killed by the prevailing
cold wave it should be the duty of the
Republican League and kindred organi
sations and like minded individuals to
nip them off effectually. .The way to do
this is to tell the party managers that
you will bolt the nominations of "hacks'
and then to be resolved to keep your
word. If you cannot find good candi
dates in your own pariy support the
nominees of the other party.
A FLOURISHING NEWSPAPER.
One of the best papers that comes to
this office is the Review, of Spokane,
Washington. It is as bright as the city
in which it is published and as reliable
as the everlasting hills that surround
that handsome city. No paper on the
coast has had as successful a career as
the Review. Less than three years ago
it was purchased by its present owners
and Mr. F. C. Goodwin placed in charge
as manager. It had less than one
thousand subscribers at that time but
the list began very rapidly to increase
with the improvements which were
made. . Mr. Goodwin proved to be the
right man in the right place and be made
the paper a valuable property. It has
now a fine perfecting press that prints
12,000 copies per hour and a finer and
more complete outfit than any paper in
Oregon or Washington, surpassing the
Oregonian in many particulars. The
daily circulation has reached at least
5,000 and no other instrumentality has
been of so much service in building up
Spokane as has the Review. It is bright,
newsy and fearless and would be a credit
to a city of 100,000 inhabitants.
HE WAS NOT A CITIZEN.
At 4 :30 Tuesday afternoon last, the
Supreme court handed-down its opinion
in the case wherein J. M. Thayer con
tested the title of James Boyd to hold
the office of governor of Nebraska ; it
being that Boyd is not a citizen of the
United States ; that the lieutenant gov
ernor cannot inherit from one who could
not qualify as governor, and that John
M. Thayer is the governor and must now
requalify. As soon as possible after the
rendering of the decision Thayer repaired
to the east room of the supreme court
and requalitted. Chief Justice Cobb ad
ministering the oath of office.
Toe Itata Blown out ol the Water.
St. Louis, May 14. A special from
the city of Mexico says : Persistent
rumors are in circulation there to the
effect that the United States cruiser
Charleston overtook the Chilian vessel
Itata on the high seas, and a naval en
gagement was fought in which the latter
was worsted and blown out of the water.
Ben Butler is a busy man. He has
big law practice, supplies the country
with its bunting, is compiling bis mem
oirs, engineering to have Judge Carpen
ter stripped of his robe, and wondering
whether a democratic nomination for the
presidency will ever strike him again,
And yet he has enough spare time
show that he is a good florist, and to
grow his own button-hole boquets, which
are always of better quality than anybody
else wears.
Carl Schurz, after an eventful career as
a soldier, a diplomat, a statesman
lecturer and editor, is now managing one
of the great lines of ocean steamships.
The ex-cabinet minister has been inter
viewed on fast ocean traveling, and says
that he is a believer in fast time ; in fact
he predicts that steamers will yet be
built which will make the trip to Liver
pool in three days.
A disastrous split has occurred in the
ranks of the farmers' alliance in the
state ot Mississippi. As a result the
membership has shrunk in the last few
months from 25,000 to 15,000. - The
cause of the split is disagreement as to
the wisdom of what is known as the sub-
treasury scheme, or government pawn
offices where loans shall be advanced on
farm produce.
HOOD RIVER.
There are literally thousands of acres
in the Hood .Kiver valley admirably
adapted to blackberry culture where
man can make a good living off a very
small piece of ground. F. R. Absten
has a blackberry patch consisting of
three-eighths of an acre on a bench of
land several hundred feet above the
Columbia river. From this patch, in
the year 1889, be sold 4,300 lbs of black
berries at an average price of six cents
pound, thus realizing the neat sum of
$258, or at the rate of $688 an acre. It
may be interesting to our readers to
know something as to the prices asked
for such lands as we have described,
The case of Mr. Absten will serve per
haps as well as any other. This gentle
man has 168 acres of timber land, with
about nine acres cleared. These nine
acres are highly improved. There are
400 trees of the usual varieties, all vig
orous, healthy and bearing. There is
the blackberry patch already referred to,
now extended to one acre, and 16000
strawberry plants and two hundred
grapes, lie has a complete irrigating
system of his own, and can throw water
almost anywhere on the whole 160 acres.
Every kind of the hardier vegetables
grow with him to perfection. The clover
among his apple trees supplies forage for
his cow and team. There is a fair box
dwelling and a good frame barn. It is
an ideal home for a man of quiet tastes,
and the whole is offered for $2,200.
PRICE OF LAND.
In a general way it may be 'said that
land sells all the way from $30 to $60 an
acre and even higher. A fine farm of
80 acres nearly all cleared with a fairly
good house and barn sold a few days ago
for $2,500. Every acre of it is adapted to
fruit growing, and it is only about three
miles back of town. Further up the val
ley land can be had cheaper that is just
as good or better than that lying nearer
the Columbia.
CORN AND GRAIN.
we have spoken of Hood Kiver as a
fruit country and so it is. It has thous
ands of acres which if they were only in
California, instead of being held at $30
ot $60 an acre could not be bought for
three times these terms. But Hood
River can do more than raise fruit. At
our district fair last year somebody ex
hibited a watermelon that beat the larg
est at the fair by fifteen pounds. Most
of the farmers raise corn on their sum
mer fallowed land and with good sue
cess, although of course it is not claimed
to be a corn country. But the wheat
grown there, as far as quality is con
cerned, will hear favorable comparison
with that grown anywhere. It is nearly
all fall sown and produces from 25
bushels to the acre up. We were much
struck with the remark of one of the
Hood River farmers when reference was
made to thej many people who prefer
working out in order to maintain them
selves when they ought to make their
farms do bo. He said "I make my place
support me and I don't work hard, either,
raise fruit and corn and grain. I plant
the corn thick, cure it and feed it to my
cows with chopped grain in the winter.
As a consequence I have butter to sell
all the year round, and for dairy cows I
prefer corn fodder, as I raise and cure it,
to the best clover hay."
a little patch of ground "not bierzer
than a barn site" last year produced for
reter Monr nearly three tons of carrots.
and this without a drop of irrigation and
in a season four months of which were
without a drop of rain.
On the 6th of June the farmer's al
liance will form a state organization in
Oregon. On the 8th a grand alliance
picnic will be held at Athena. Presi
dent Polk of the National Alliance will
be present from Washington and Hon.
Cole from Kansas. They will deliver
addresses.
The alliance meeting held in San Fran
cisco was a gathering satisfactory to all
concerned. Reports showed that twenty
nine counties are represented in the
state alliance, with about 25,000 mem
bers. An active effort will be made to
extend the membership, and the outlook
is gratifying to the leaders.
The Rumora Discredited.
San Francisco, May 14. The rumors
coming from the city of Mexico to the
effect that the cruiser Charleston had
evertaken the steamer Itata and had
fired upon that vessel, are regarded here
as having no foundation. The Charles
ton passed San Diego at noon Monday.
The run to Acapulco, the nearest tele
graph point below the Gulf of California,
is thirteen hundred miles. The Charles
ton was steaming at the rate of about 15
knots and was seen to have been moving
out her course to inspect passing vessels
and even though pushed to the highest
point of speed could not reach Acapulco
before tomorrow and any news therefore
of her operations could not be received
through Mexican sources before her ar-
rival there tomorrow.

A SONG OF SPRING.
Nut Believed In Washington.
Washington, May 14. There is no
news of the Itata or the Charleston at
the navy department this morning. No
credence is given the report that the
Charleston has sunk the Itata. In the
first place it is said that news of such an
event could only be received except
through the arrival of the Charleston at
some port connected with the telegraph
lines which has not yet occured. In the
second place nobody supposes the Itata
would resist the Charleston, for she is
totally unprepared to do so.
Holcomb'a Sneceasor Appointed.
Omaha, Neb., May 14. A circular is
issued this morning by vice-president
Clark of the Union Pacific announcing
the appointment of Dickinson as assist
ant general manager of the road, vice
Holcomb, resigned. Dickinson assumes
his duties tomorrow.
THE REPORTS ARK DOCTORED.
Enf-
A Gentleman From Chill Saya the
Hah fix the Reports.
New York, May 14. The Herald says
that the railroad engineer and contractor
just arrived from Chili, says that nearly
all the cabled accounts of battles in Chili
between government forces and insur
gents are doctored by the English. The
insurgents have not gained a single
battle of any consequence, he said, since
the rebellion began. The only territory
controlled by the insurgents are Iqui
qui, Antefagasta, and two other places.
It is thought that the rebellion will not
last sixty days longer. The government
has 40,000 soldiers in the field, well
equipped and with abundant supplies
The insurgents have only about 8,000,
and those are not well drilled or organi
zed, but are poorly equipped and suffer
ing for lack of the necessaries of life.
OPINION OF LAWYERS.
They Think the Government Baa the
Right to Capture the Itata.
San Francisco, Mav 11. The after
noon papers print interviews with law
vers as to the legal status in case the
Charleston should overtake or sink the
Itata. The views expressed were that
while the Itata flies the Chilian flag.
according to all. advices received, she is
not a representative of any constituted
authority. Balmaceda is still the head
of Chilian government, and he alone is
recognized by foreign governments. The
Itata was a government vessel, but she
was seized by the insurgents and is being
usea against me recognized government,,
and therefore the insurgents have no
standing under the present legal status
of the case. In case the Esmeralda in
terferes to prevent the capture of the
Itata, she can also only be considered in
the same category as the itata.
OF THE CATERPILLAR TYPE.
A Mew Bug- Makes Its Appearance Among-
the Prune Orchards of California.
San Francisco, May 11. A few mil
lion worms of the caterpillar type are
making unhappy the lives of the Santa
Clara prune-growers just at present. In
the Willows district, near San Jose, and
off on the hills toward Saratoga, many
orchards are seriously affected by the
depredators. No one has yet identified
the unwelcome visitors, but Entomolo
gist Craw, of the state board of horticul
ture, has been appealed to for informa
tion, both as to the character of the leaf
eaters and for an effective method of
killing them. A horticulturist who
looked about several of the best orchards
yesterday, says that many trees look as
though bird shot had riddled the tops.
The branches in places have been eaten
entirely bare of leaves.
Canada and American Cattle.
Ottawa, Out., May 11. The Canadian
government has made overtures to the
imperial authorities to learn whether
the present arrangements, under the
operation of which cattle are exported
from Canada to Great Britain, can be
continued if American cattle are allowed
to be slaughtered in bond within the
Dominion. This refers to the proposed
Bender Dead Meat company, for its
abattoirs are at Three Rivers, to which
the Canadian cattle-Bhippers are opposed
on the ground that it would place their
trade in danger of being scheduled with
that of the Americans in British ports,
thus depriving them of the present dis
crimination in favor ot the Canadian
trade.
The World's Fair Laborers.
Chicago. May 10. The world's fair
labor committee has decided to take
prompt action to compel the fair direct
ors to agree to fix a minumum rate of
wages. At a special meeting of the com
mittee today a plan of action was' mapped
out which includes appeals to the com
mon council of this city, state legislature
and the labor organizations of the coun
try. Besides this, the committee has
under consideration the question of mak
ing a general appeal to the labor organi
zations ot .cngiana, a ranee and uermany .

"Sing a song of Spring!" cried the merry Mnrcb
wind loud.
As it swept o'er hill and valley from the dark
breast of the cloud ;
But the wild-flowers and the violets were still too
sound asleep
Under the snow's warm blanket, close-folded
soft and deep.
"Sing a song of Spring!" cried the pleasant April
rain,
With a thousand sparkling touches upon the
window-pane.
Then the flowers that waited In the ground woke
dreamily and stirred;
From root to root, from seed to seed, crept swift
the hopeful word.
"Sing a song of Spring!" cried the sunshine of
the May;
And into bloom the whole world burst in one
delicious day!
The patient apple-trees blushed bright in clouds
of rosy red,
And the dear birds sang with rapture in the blue
sky overhead.
And not a single flower small that April's rain
drops woke,
And not a single little bird that Into music broke.
But did rejoice to live and grow and strive to "do
its best,
Faithful and dutiful and brave through every
trial's test.
I wonder U we children all are ready as the
Sowers
To do what God appoints for us through all his
days and hours;
To praise him In our duties done, with cheerful
Joy, because
The smallest of those duties belongs to his great
laws.
O Violets, who never fret, nor say, "I won't!"
"I will!"
Who only live to do your best bis wishes to
fulfill,
Teach us your sweet obedience, and we may grow
to be
Happy, like you, and patient as the steadfast
apple-tree!
The Oregon State Convention of the
Womans' Christian Temperance Union
will convene in Portland on May 23d
and continue until Tuesday evening the
26th.
The Pacific coast conference will open
Wednesday, May 27th, continuing three
days, closing Friday evening the 29th
some of our national officers and repre
sentative workers from various parts of
the coast will be present. Mrs. C. B,
Buell and Miss Esther Pugh, of Chicago
and Col. Bain will address the meetings
and take part in the discussions. It is
hoped that all friends of temperance who
can, will attend and that grand results
will follow this meeting.
The great power of Sam Jones for
righteousness is his plain phrases his
bold speech, his positive, ungloved as
sault upon the ways and means of un
righteousness. Our youth should be
wisely strengthened, educated by plain
ness of speech in the home. If it were
so we would hear of fewer suicides, less
of the "one more unfortunate gone to
her rest."
In ban rrnucisco on fcunday evening.
Dr. Geo. II. Moore addressed a large
audience on the subject of temperance
He gave Htatistics which were as over
whelming as true and very interesting.
Mr. Tallan supplemented his remarks,
calling attention that in a district of six
blocks square, there were five churches,
three schools and 111 saloons. In walk
ing from his home to the church, a dis
tance of three blocks, he was obliged to
pass twenty-one drinking houses. It is
wouderfui that he is eloquent on the
subject of temperance when he sees
what a strife the church must make to
get any headway against the monster
in our midst. Every one should join
the army and fight with boldness.
Saloons In. Portland Oregon.
In this city, according to the latest
statistics, there are three hundred and
twelve licensed saloons, also fifty hotels
most of which have "bar attachments,"
all of these are licensed to sell liquors in
less quantities than one quart. Of
wholesale liquor houses, there are
twenty-four. It is probable within
bounds to say that the average yearly
sales in the saloons will amount to $7,000
per year some of them are known to
exceed $100,000 per annum. Say that
one-half of the hotels dispense liquors ;
that would give three hundred and
thirty-seven places where the vile stufl
is sold at retail, thus making $2,359,000
bo spent. The average sales of the whole
sale houses will amount, no doubt, to
$100,000 each $2,400,000 more. Then
add to this the "family liquors" Bold by
numerous grocery stores, easily amount
ing to from $500,000 to $700,000, together
with the sums derived from sales at res-
turants, drug stores, breweries, etc., and
it is believed that the enormous sum of
$8,000,000 per annum would be reached
for that which is of no earthly use to anv
one for that which degrades every one
connected with it, Doth buyer and seller,
and is rapidly carrying the f ower of our
people to that state wherein they will be
without God, and without hope in the
world. Now, I am not a pessimist, by
any manner of means ; God reigns, and
is certain, to win the world to himself
ultimately ; but in view of the prodi
gious efforts the devil is putting forth,
and the lukewarmness on the part of
professing Christians, it is very evident
to even an ordinary observer that we
are not anywhere near the millenium.
In talking over this matter with a well-
known business man the other day, one
who has opportunity for being well post
ed, he declared that it was his firm con
viction that fully eighty per cent, of all
the business men in this city, were
drinking men to a greater or less degree.
Another gentleman, once a prominent
educator, now in the real estate business,
said to me, in reference to those who
frequented a "gin palace" recently es
tablished without stint of money, near
his office, that he was surprised beyond
measure to see those who visited this
articular resort from one to ten times a
ay, former pupils sons- of Christian
parents, even professing Christians
themselves, many of them, went regular
ly to this "gilded door of damnation,"
because it was "eminently respectable!"

Han Francisco Wheat Market.
San Francisco, May 14, 1891. Wheat,
buyer '91, 1.73?i; season, 1.732.
Professor F. H. Snow has charge of an
appropriation of $33,500 made by the last
Kansas legislature for the extermination
of the chinch bugs from the wheat fields
of that state. About two years ago he
discovered a fatal disease among these
pests, a disease not more deadly than
contagious. Acting upon this discovery,
he began to spread what he calls "bug
cholera" by exposing fresh bugs to dis
eased ones, and sending those thus in
fected to different sections of the state.
Live bugs are secured and placed in jars
with the sick creatures, and within three
days these are ready to send out to
spread the disease in the infested fields.
These sick bugs have been sent out by
thousands, and so successfully that the
Kansas farmer will soon no longer be de
picted as anxiously regarding Bis grain,
fearful lest "the hopeful sheaves rrove
chaff." The chinch bugs have always
been one of the greatest enemies of agri
culture in Kansas, and contrary to the
general rule in the matter of contagions,
all are anxious to spread the chinch bug
cholera so cleverly discovered and propa
gated by professor Snow.

the New York Greely statue fund.

A Member of the Chilian Congress Ar
rested in 'Frisco. -The Esmeralda
will not Fire on the Charleston.
San Francisco, May 12. Richard O.
Trumbrell, a member of the Chilian
congress and a partisan of the insurgent
party was arrested last night by the
United States marshal for violating the
neutrality laws, in connection with the
shipment of arms and munitions of war
on the schooner Robert and Minnie and
steamer Itata.
His bail was fixed at $15,000 and was
furnished with John and Adolph Sprec
kels as sureties.
Trumbull was arrested on board
the Oakland ferry boat and was
on his way to Washington to
confer, it is reported, with the Chilian
consul.
After his release he stated that be had
expected to be arrested and had made
no attempt at concealment.
"Will you make a light against the
charge?" was asked. "A vigorous one,
depend on that. Still, as I say, it
amounts to nothing. There is nothing
in the neutrality laws by which I can be
held."
"What have you to say about the
action of the Itata?"
"Nothing, but I might add that there
is a precedent for action in the case of
the steamer Scandanivia which put out
of the Mexican port of Santa Rosalia
with a Mexican marshal aboard."
"Is the Esmeralda acting as a convoy
of the Itata?" "That I do not know.
If she is acting as convoy under no cir
cumstances would she fire on the
Charleston."
The Fires In Michigan.
Whitk Cloud, Mich., May 12. The
five upper townships in this county has
been a surging sea of fire ever since Sun
day and it is believed that not a single
small hamlet is left. A number of
freight cars and a logging train were also
burned.
The Horrors Multiply.
Ludington, Mich., May 12. Some
people who lived in Walkerville before
the fire struck them have arrived here
in a wretched state. They say it is im
possible to tell how many inhabitants
have escaped alive and they fear many
have died in the woods where they fled
for safety. The village had 800 inhabi
tants and no one knows where more
than half of that number are at present.
Rumors of large loss of life at other
points come in, but verification is im
possible. This entire county will be
swept unless rains come today.
