ENSILAGE.
The state of Oregon should undoubt
edly meet her own demands for dairy
products. It is to our shame that thous
ands of dollars are annually sent to
states east and south of us for butter
and cheese that ought to be produced at
home. Many will admit this statement
to be true, on general principles, who
are far from believing that dairying can
be carried on profitably in Eastern Ore
gon, unless under exceptionally favora
- ble circumstances. The long dry fall
and winter, they will tell us, make it
impossible to keep up the flow of milk
without expensive feeding that will eat
up all the profits of dairying. The only
time when butter can - be produced in
profitable quantity is the time when the
-. market is so glutted that it is next . to
impossible to sell ' at any reasonable
price. On the other hand when butter
attains a good price in the fall and win
ter as it invariably does the erase is bo
dry that cattle lose their flow of milk,
and butter-making again becomes un
, profitable. Thus hundreds of farmers,
who are otherwise bountifully supplied
with cattle more or less suited for dairy
purpose, are deterred from a species of
industry that, thousands under more
favorable circumstances find both pleas
ant and profitable.
A careful study of what has been ac
complished elsewhere by the ensilege
system of storing green feed for fall and
winter use leads us to the conviction that
the solution of the dairy problem, if it
has any solution for the people of the
Inland Empire, lies in this direction,
and that apart from dairying altogether
the system is well worth a trial by every
farmer who has a few cattle or sheep to
carry through the rigors of our winter
climate.
Ensilage is no longer a mere experi
ment. It has been tried a thousand
times Tinder a hundred varying circum-
. stances and in an overwhelming major
ity of instances it has been pronounced
a complete success. As we expect in
the near future to present our readers
with a carefully prepared paper on this
. subject by H. T.. French professor of ag
riculture at the state agricultural college
we shall close this article by giving the
testimony of Col. T. Cornelius, who is
- well known as one of the most success'
rol farmers in the Willamette valley, as
to his experience with storing and feed'
ensilage: "
" In the summer of 1880 I built a silo
which holds almost 225 tons filled with
green corn, and was. so' well pleased with
the result that the following year
built three other silos and filled them
with green corn, clover, oats and wheat,
all of which make good feed. This year
I put up one thousand tons of corn
clover and oats, but mostly corn. I am
well pleased with theiresult would not
undertake to keep any considerable num
ber of stock on a farm without a silo
and believe farming lands in this state
especially is worth at least 25 per cent.
more with the aid of the silos than with
out it, as any of our valley lands may be
made to support one cow per acre with
the silo, while without the silo it re
quires above four acres to support one
cow, and any land reasonably near
transportation'in the Willamette valley
that will support one cow per aero
well worth fifty dollars per acre for stock
fanning, while land that will qnly sup
port one cow to four acres is only worth
ten dollars per acre."
Before ever a number of the Chboniclb
was issued under our direction we per
sonally begged of Mr. Michell to be al
lowed to conduct a gentlemanly rivalry
with him. He has chosen his own path
and we are most unwilling to follow him
in it. Both he and us can find much
more profitable employment than seek
ing to belittle one another. Whatever
may be true of the readers of the Timet-
Mountaineer those of the Chboniclb
have no interest in editorial fights. For
ourselves we are sick and weary of them
Will the Times-Mountaineer let us alone
to pursue the tenor of our way or will
it again force us, in common defense, to
a warfare that we are egotistical enough
to believe will bring no elory to that
journal.
Since the Union Pacific company took
nsssession of the O. R. & Co.'s lines
they have pursued a penny, wise pound
foolish policy that would drive any ordi
nary road into bankruptcy. The cost of
the wrecks and disasters, not to say loss
of human life that have happened
through simple lack of a sufficient num
ber of trackwalkers, would alone have
undoubtedly paid the wages of a watch
man for every half mile of track between
The Dalles and Bonneyville for the next
twenty years. The management of the
concern in this regard is of little interest
to. us except in so far as the policy is a
constant menace to human life. A year
ago, last spring, the same policy resulted
in the hurling of ten or eleven persons
into eternity and the crippling of a num
ber of others for life. We have no tears
to Bhed over the accident of last Satur
day when twenty or thirty thousand
dollars worth of the company's property
was destroyed in a few moments. The
public will, of course, have to foot the
bill in the long run, but they would have
to do the same if the running of the
road did not cost the company a cent,
"Everything that the traffic will bear'
is the policy of the Union racinc. it is
simply appalling to conceive what might
have happened last Saturday if a passen
ger train, freighted with hundreds of
human souls, instead of a freight train
laden with a relatively valueless cargo of
building rock had encountered the burn
ing bridge.
THE BAD HEART.
The Oregonian says: "The Dalles
Chbokiclb must have a bad heart. It
can only see wickedness in everything.
It abuses all government officials and
railroad corporations, especially the
Union Pacific," and then the Oregonian
quotes a few lines from the Chboniclb
in which this journal intimated that the
old O. S. & N. Co. were accessory to the
wreck of the Great Republic that was
lost on a sand bar near the mouth of the
.' Columbia, about twelve or thirteen
years ago. If the writer of - the para
graph in the Oregonian is old enough to
remember it, he will remember that
the pilot of the Great Republic was
accused of criminal connivance at the
wreck of his vessel and that the courts so
far held him guilty that he was suspended
for a year. No one thought for a moment
that the pilot wrecked the vessel of his
own accord. There was no conceivable
reason for his doing so. Everything in
dicated that he was hired to do it by the
O. S. A N. Co., and that the company
and its successors have reaped the bene
fit of it ever sinee. If it is an evidence
of a bad heart to believe thus then the
Oregonian had a touch of the same
disease when it reported simple
facts at the time of their occurrence, and
it criminally transmitted the disease to
the writer from which alone he learned
the facts of the wreck and the judgment
of the court on the pilot.
If it be a proof of a bad heart to
charge the government officials at the
Cascades with -criminal delay in opening
up the Columbia river then the Oregon
ian should know that the people this
aide of tne mountains have the disease
in the form of an epidemic. A gentle
man second to none in this community
in cool judgment, intelligence and social
standing was yesterday overheard by
the writer addressing some half dozen
acquaintances in these words : "I Major
Handbury should continue to superin
tend the works at the locks for the next
hundred years, and the appropriations
continue to be made as they have been
in the past the work would never be fin
Ished. Thus we all have the bad heart.
It is the heart sickness of deferred hope
and we have it in an advanced state of
chronic development.
The editor of The Dalles Chboniclb
is not made of the stuff that meekly
bears insult and ridicule forever without
kicking back. Scarcely a number of the
Times-Mountaineer appears without some
insulting reference to thie journal. How
long is this to continue? Is there not
common decency enough left in the ed
itor of the Tintet-ilouniaineer to let a
Monday next the, three cities at the
mouth of the Willamette will vote on
the question of consolidation whether
they shall remain three cities or be
fused into one. As the time approaches
the contest thickens and as far as the
newspapers arc concerned the consolida
tionists have the most to say ; but there
is little doubt that the ward politicians
and their strikers are getting in their
work. This class of gentry never resort
to newspapers to effect their purpose.
They relv more on money and free
whiskey. Their, appeal is not to the
understanding but to passions and appe
tite. Political bosses who draw . the
snug little sum of $108,000 a year from
the income of two toll bridges neither of
which cost that amount can afford to
spend money freely to retain a franchise
endangered by consolidation. We have
seen no arguments against consolidation
that were worth a moment's considera
tion when viewed in the light of the ad
vantages to be derived from it and we
sincerely hope the measure may succeed.
The follwing persons have been inter
viewed within the past two days as to
the condition of the crops in this county
lying between here and the Mutton
mountains. The general concensus leads
us to the opinion that in the country
described, spring sown grain, where it
was properly put in is in good condition
and with a good rain rny time during
the next two or three will bring a good
crop. Volunteer and fall grain sown too
thick, is, (at least within tea miles of
The Dalles,) a complete failure. The
further one goes south of the city
bevond Eight-mile the better the
prospect. Speaking for the Dufur
neighborhood Mr. Willis Hendricks savs
that early sown spring grain, which
comprises a large majority of. the grain
sown in that neighborhood, has not suf
fered from lack of rain and will stand
from two too three weeks more dry
weather without being fatally injured
To insure a good crop, however, we must
have rain.
Mr. Corson on the Thompson ranch
says he has about eighty acres of spring
grain that presents the poorest prospect
he ever had. It was sown about the
28th of March.
Mr. P. T. Sharp informs us that his
spring grain is in good condition and
with such rain as ordinarily falls about
this time a good crop is assured. Some
of his fall grain, where it is too thick, is
badly burned.
F. C. Clausen, whose place is near the
Deschutes river beyond Kansene, says
that his grain looks well and that a good
shower of rain will insure him a good
crop. Some fields of late sown grain
here and there has never come up, and
without plenty of rain will amouut to
nothing.
Fall gram and volunteer, where it is
too thick, have suffered from the present
hot spell and some of it is past recovery.
The acreage, however, that comes under
this head is relatively small and is
chiefly confined to the couutryjnear The
Dalles.
Mr. P. P. Underwood says that in his
country east of Dufur the grain pros
pects are generally good. A good shower
of rain fell- Monday afternoon. There is
no fall grain in the neighborhood. Some
early sown grain that was sown too thick
is "fired" bevond redemption.
Mr. D. Farrington, of Lower Fifteen
Mile says that in his neighborhood, and
between there and this city volunteer
grain is generally burned beyond
recovery. Spring grain is looking well
but we must have more rain to have a
good crop.

OBITUARY.
1 he Spokane Kevxew, a tnorougnly re
publican journal and one as ably con
ducted as any on the Pacific coast has
earned the gratitude of all honest men
within or without the republican party
for its fearless and manly exposure of
the corruption and dishonesty of acting
Governor Laugh ton. It is refreshing in
these days of truckling subserviency to
party and party interests to find a man
honest enough to boldly rebuke the cor
ruption of the leading men of the party
to which he belongs. The time has fully
come when integrity and unswerving de
votion to truth and righteousness should
be the grand qualifications for political
preferment and not the mere party
badge that so often covers a multitude of
political sins.
The farmers' movement has a future
of grand possibilities before it if it shall
refuse to follow the ignit fatuus of third
party political autonomy. So long as it
remains non-partisan so long will it be
feared and respected, a terror to evil
doers and a praise to them that do well.
So long as it remains in this condition
its power for good is incalculable. The
secret of its strength will lie in its inde
pendency. Political conventions will
dread a power that will inevitably crush
corrupt nominations. To appoint bad
men for office will be to court defeat.
But let the 'movement-, descend to the
arena of mere partisanship and it will
become the pliant grain between the
upper and nether millstones of the two
old parties.
We have an impression that there is a
whole lot of good sense and truth in the
following remarks of the Inter Ocean.
"Send in your bills, gentlemen. Un
cle Sam has the gold and silver and
greenbacks, as good as either, to pay
with, and plenty more where they were
coined. The whine about a few millions
of gold going to Europe comes from weak
uehuh aim reuDiB tsaaiiv Bcarcu. or irmn
politicians anxious to find some cause for
complaint against the administration of
public affairs."
The Salem Capital Journal is sick of
reading newspaper articles on tariff and
calls for "some brief facts concerning
duck raising." That's an excellent piece
of advice for web-foot editors. They
should encourage industries that are in
digenous to the soil. There's millions in
duck raising down there. Brethern of
the Willamette Valley press, let us have
some editorials on duck-raising.
Lieutenant Norton, representing the
wealthy .bnglish syndicate which pur
chased the dossil coal mines was in the
city last evening. He had while here
some conversation with Pendleton citi
zens regarding the railroad which the
syndicate contemplates constructing from
fossil to The Dalles. It is thought pos
sible the road mav be extended in this
direction. East Oregonian.
Some people of East Oregon, says the
Baker City Blade, are considerably wor
ried because they won't have a chance
next year to vote for Binger Herman for
congress, fcince all of iastern Oregon
and the counties along the Columbia will
have no voice in electing a successor to
Mr. Herman, it is quite likely that his
political enemies will be able to down
him in the convention. East Oregonian.
Don't attempt to be funny when ser
ious Dusiness is in hand, it shows a

Kindly Wordi of the Late Mr. William
O'Dell
A friend and neighbor of the late Mr.
William O'Dell, of Hood River, who had
known him long and intimately, bears
the following testimony to his character
and worth: .
One rare grace he had which was to
his character what its perfume is to the
rose ; this was his affection for his fami
ly. From the time 28 years ago, when
he took the hand of his girl-bride in his
until the hour when he called her to him
and said, "I am as dead from my waist
down as I shall . ever be," if the : wind
blew roughly on Mrs. O'Dell,' it was be
cause he could not help it. As few men
ever do he cherished his wife and when
he could no longer work for her he spar
ed ber all he could. Mrs. O'Dell's loss
would be unbearable but for this ; by pre
cept and example he trained five manly,
christian sons to give to mother and sis
ters just the care he gave. .
In his outward relations to be apprised
of need, whether a personal friend or
not, was with fim to supply that need
if possible. His home was open to all
humanity to share such as he had.
How many dying beds he has soothed.
So when he was brought home helpless
and lav three weeks between life and
death, there was no lack of men to work
all day and watch as tenderly as women
by his bed all night. His grateful words
for his "faithful watchers" was ample
recompense.
Air. Udell's Unristian light was
kindled at a Methodist camp fire in
California more than 30 years ago and
though dim at times never went out.
For seveu years since his baptism he has
lived a devoted life, testifying for Christ
at every opportunity. About one and
a half years ago he was elected elder in
East Hood River, church because he
thoroughly fulfilled the requirements of
1st Timothy 3 :1 to 7.
As he lay at Dufur able to move one
hand, to those who came to see him,
rough men and Christians, he testified
of the grace of God as no minister could
have done. That was his Beulah land
and the Delectable Mountains from
whence this "Happiest Man," saw Heav
en and made others see it too. There
love contrived a way to bring him home,
There for three days Death's River threw
him up above its billows and dashed him
down again until his heart and his flesh
failed him but still his anchor "held
within the vail" for it grappled the
Rock of Ages."
So his eldest son or some christian
friend would repeat a verse of the Word
or breathe a prayer and then he would
lie at ease.
So for a week and then he got clear
vision of the glory and as it says in the
Pilgrim's Progress, " After that the en
emy was as still as a stone until he was
gone over." In that last week he tried
to sing " In the cross I glory." And
when they asked him " why," he said
I have Been the most beautiful garden
ever I saw and I never was so happy in
my life," so as he had foretold them " I
shall just go to sleep," and peacefully he
went that ere one watcher could scarce
sav to another " he is going." Lo ! he
was gone.
Gone ! Out of the body that had the
cancer, out of the body that was paraly
zed, starved and tired to death, his last
wish granted, " Gone home" to be with
the Lord. " Evil things " all past and
he is "comforted, ' and now is come
true. Rev. 2 :7. S. S,
COMMKNCZMZNT MIGHT.
There Is a murmured bash in the crowded hall,
As he stands before them, silent and pale,
For the upturned faces seem to appall.
And his quick heart-beats to falL
Of a calm sweet face he catches a sight,
And the assuring smile of the one most dear.
For Mother's sake he'll not fall tonight;
Her love will banish all fear.
Slowly are spoken the opening words.
And gathering courage, he breaks the thrall
Of his fettering fear, and now 1m heard
His clear young voice through the crowded hall.
The eloquent words are ringing out.
And his boyish face is all aglow,
With the spirit that clings each word about,
From the earnest heart below.
His stirring appeal, and well-proven facts.
Show a mind and a heart that is strong;
A nature that bows to no petty acts,
A soul that can battle with wrong.
A hush as he closes, then cheer upon cheer
Resounds through the echoing hall.
And a shower of sweet flowers, that tribute so
dear
At the feet of the young speaker fall.
But the happiest heart 'mong all the glad ones,
Is that of the mother, whose tears
Are flowing for joy, for tonight her dear son
Crowns the hopes and the prayers of long
years.
THB SALOON.
There is a sound of sweet music that falls on the
ear, .
With a cadence so lulling and sweet,
It seems like enchantment, beguiling all fear.
The heart's purest Impulse to meet. -
There are flowers In their beauty and sweet
perfume,
But they deck a feast of wine.
And the gaslight flooding the elegant room,
With the music and flowers combine.
To deck aa a paradise this earth-fostered hell,
Where purity is poured out like wine,
The rushing stream of pollution to swell .
With the noblest powers ot the mind.
Pledge with red wine" a voice rings out,
" And I'll sing you a merry song,"
There is a tinkle of glasses, a merry shout
And the pledge is passed along.
He stands in their midst, with the crystal glass.
Held high in his hand, while the words
Of the ribald song from his pale lips pass.
By the power of the wine-demon stirred.
Where now Is the book;of Innocent joy.
That one year ago crowned his brow T
Poor mother, your heart would break for your
boy,
Could you see him as he stands there now.
Blood-shot are his eyes, and the fire of the wine
Burns like coals on his pale thin cheeks;
While oaths and foul words as demons combine,
To poison each thought that he speaks.
TUB BTEUOGLE.
Calm and pale shines the moon in her 'beauty
tonight.
Deep and dark the waters flow by.
And the silence of midnight, with shadows be-
dight,
Is scarce broken by zephyrs low sigh.
On the bridge that is spanning the dark turbid
stream,
There is a struggle God only can see,
A sin-fettered soul that forsaken now seems, -
Struggling in vain to be be free.
That agony; Oh! words how weak to portray
A soul that Is straggling with hell;
That haa wandered so far from Heaven away,
And is fettered by Satan's dark spell.
Oh my mother forgive, it 1b the only prayer
The sin-burdened soul can speak ; '-
To a God so offended he would not dare
Utter words from a heart so weak.

And there is only a ripple below. .
THE MOEGDE.
There is a terrible hush bound in by these walls-
And the drip; drip; so solemn and si w;
Of waters that seems like sad tears to fall
On the marble slabs below.
Tis the house of death; many an unknown one
Lies waiting on a marble bed; .
For those who unknowing never can come
To claim their dishonored dead.
Poor mother are you waiting and erasing to
night
For the boy that you love more than life;
Do you feel that your prayers will call him away
From sin and all its wild strife?
It is given a blessing you cannot see
This death house; this cold silent form;
That in innocent childhood, so happy and free
On your warm mother heart you have borne.
THE MOTHKB'S PAET.
A cottage lies hid in roses and vines,
And all seems so quiet and calm;
We feel that here purity and rest must combine
To give broken hearts healing balm.
A white haired woman Is kneeling beside '
A trunk travel-stained and worn;
It holds in its depths college cap and gown.
In places thread-bare and torn.
There are piles of books, whose worn, soiled
leaves
Speak of many a midnight hour;
Of a human mind that garnered sheaves
Of ripe grain through study's power.
There in a corner with tenderest care "
A paper lies folded from sight;
Undisturbed in its rest it long has lain there.
This speech of Commencement Night.
And here the Diploma, with great shining seal
And ribbon of beautiful blue;
Whose reception once made the young student
feel
Pride such as his heart never knew.
The mother's tears fall on these tokens that tell,
Of the joy gone out of her life;
And the white lips refuse to say "It la well,"
And her heart with submission's at strife.
Poor heart-broken mother, passing under the rod.
Human sympathy can now nave no part;
Let ns close the doors softly, and leave her with
God . ri
He only can speak to her heart. .jf t
And tills is the end. Ah I no not the end '
But all human sight ean aee;
In that power whose mercy exceeds that of men
From the judgment of earth he is free. .
