The Chkomcle having admitted thati lines. In agricultural merchandise
there is an improvement as harvest ap
proaches, and a large business is expect
ed. .-
The produce market is rather inactive,
owing to the large daily offerings. Eggs
are very scarce and there is more inquiry
for that luxury than for sometime pre
vious, and prices have gone up from 18
to 20 cents per dozen with an indication
of a further advance. The receipts of
good butter has fallen off somewhat, and
the quotations are firmer. Vegetables
are coming in freely and prices are
fluctuating in accordance with quality
and quantity. Strawberries are more
plentiful and prices have dropped to 6
and 8 cents per box. Cherries are more
abundant and are selling at 5 to 6 cents
per pound, with a decline in sight, un
less tbe shipments are more frequent.
Messrs. Seufert Bros., are shipping 50
to 72 boxes daily, which is small com
pared to what the home market offers to
the trade.
In Wool there has lieen a large receipt
during the past week and the movement
east and west has been on sellers account
owing to the fact that the home market
is nominally blocked between the sellers
and buyers. The buyers base their
values and prices on the shrinkage, and
estimate the loss in scouring or washing
from 45 to 50 per cent., which thevaellers
are unwilling to accept aa a value on
their staple. Offerings range from 12 to
16,'a cents per pound. The buyers men
tioned last week have mostly gone to
Portland and east to other shipping
points expecting to make such purchases
as will meet present requirements. .
Salmon fishing is of a discouraging na
ture. The run is lighter than ever known
since the industry has been inaugurated
at our fishing', points near this city.
The Rockfield canning establishment,
while under contract for 20,000 cases,
will in all probability, not put up more
than half that amount this season. Mr.
Seufert, a gentleman whose facilities for
catching salmon are the best on the riv
er; is of tbe opinion that the catch is
practically over, as the river has un
doubtedly reached its highest point and
is falling, and in a few days Jhe fish
wheels will be of little use and valueless
until next season.

the owner of a townsitc who sells out for
a "cool million" has "never earned a
dollar of this money" simplifies the situ
ation greatly. In other words it is con
ceded that the laud values are created
by the community, hence belong to the
community and no individual has a right
to absorb them. For all purposes of
government which require taxation to
carry them out we see that here is a
natural fund which belongs of right to
society. . The progress of civilization
which brings men together gives a value
to land. Some land is more valuable
than others, the law of supply and de
mand fixing its price. Hence the indi
viduals who use land are in justice re
quired to pay society according to the
value of the land they use. Beyond the
collection of these ground rents society
should not go. All wealth that a man
may acquire in excess of these from- the
use of that land (be it city lot, watir
power, mine or farm), it is none of
society's business to enquire into as long
as the rights of other men "are not tres
passed upon.
Let us take the case of the mail who
sells a towusite for a "cool million."
The only reason that such a price was
obtainable was that the annual rental
value of that sight was for convenience
let us eay ten per cent, of the selling
price ; in other words $100,000 per an
num. The men who purchased it, no
matter how they came by their money
did so because it was worth that much
to them collectively for purposes of busi
ness, for these values still remain and it
is with them alone society has therigh
to deal. Society by its presence and
labors is still making this land valuabl
and has the right to demand its own.
the Chronicle will ponder on the situa
tion in Wasco county it will find an easy
solution of the tax levy problem on the
basis of the single tax. A real estate
value of a million and a half has been
shown does any man believe that, ex
empting improvements of all kinds, the
land value of Wasco county is less than
a million? On the basis of $100,000 an
nual value, and allowing a very ' healthy
margin to land owners for collection of
rents, etc., how easy to raise the $62,500
without doing injustice to any man !
Now as to our millionaire; whose
business is. it what he does with his
money as long as he conforms to
police regulations? He and his money
may remove to parts unknown, in which
case the community where he acquired
his wealth could no longer tax him if
wanted to. He may stay where he
"made his pile," in which case his
nionev, whether he embarks in enter,
prise or loans it to others tor various
purposes, will by its presence add to .the
value of the land. Producers and con
sumers alike give value to land that is
make jt profitable for some one to make
use of that land, if a merchant pays
high rent the reason is that the location
is such that he can do business enough
to justify him in paying such a rent
The ultimate question is who shall re
ceive that portion of the rent that be
longs to the land value? Society that
gave it that value or some .individual
who did net?
' The poor man referred to, on bis
homestead, will, under. the single tax,
have little or no tax to pay because his
land, improvements counted out, arid
valued as it would be if never a plow
had been stuck in the ground or a grub
torn out, will have very little value.
Taxation will be transferred-to the rich
centers of populat ion, where a single lot
is worth a whole township of homestead
land. The man with a herd of cattle on
the public range is engaged in the meri
torious business of raising food for society
and should not be taxed therefor.
When the land he occupies becomes
more valuable for other purposes it will
acquire a rental value which society
should tax. In the matter of the poor
settler who cannot protect his crops
against the depredations of his neigh
bor's stock it only shows that he does
not get "value received" for the taxes
be now pays. If society taxes him it
should protect him, as Kansas and
Nebraska do by the herd law. In those
states every man must herd his stock;
and crops, which do not trespass on
other people's land, are "turned out
doors."
Pardon this long effusion which is,
however, too short to do the subject jus
tice. Wallace Yates.
The wool clip of Eastern Oregon this
year will be about 9,000,000 pounds. In
all of this vast wool-growing region that
produces such a vast amount of this sta
ple article there is not a woolen mill or a
scouring establishment. Nearly all this
wool is shinned across the continent to
be manufactured into cloth and reship
ped to the Pacific coast to he bought and
worn by those who produced it. The
majority of this wool shrinks on an aver
age 50 per cent by washing, so this yeur
the wool growers of Eastern Oregen will
pay freight across the continent on
4,500,000 pounds of dirt that should be re
moved from the wool before.it is shipped.
The f reigh t on the dirt alone wou:d almost
pay for a scouring establishment with a
capacity sufficient to scour all the wool
raised in the Inland Empire. But better
than establishments for scouring and
grading the wool would be the building
of mills to manufacture it into cloth, or j
at least enougli of it to supply the woolen
goods that are consumed on this coast.
The saving of freight on the wool to the
factories in the east and on the manufac
tured goods from the factories back to
the producer and consumer would be no
small item ; but it is insignificant when
compared with the amount of money
that would be put in circulation by man
ufacturing the woor into cloth right here
at home. As an illustration of the bene
fit a woolen mill is to a community and
the amount ot money it puts in circula
tion, we may nrohtablv consider the fol
lowing report published by the secretary
of the Albany Woolen Mills Company
last week, at the close of the first year the
mine nave been in operation: Wages
paid, o,iu 84 : wool purchased, $49,
413.42; other expenditures, $18,118.73;
total expenditures, $93,639.99. Suppose
every wool producing county in eastern
Oregon had in it an additional industry
that consumed $50,000 worth of its pro
ducts and expended $25,000 annually for
wages, -, what would be the Teeult?
Would it not make times better and
money more plentiful? Suppose we had
such an establishment in our own county,
what effect would it have on the business
of the county? in tbe first place it would
afford a home market for a portion of one
of the leading products of the county ; it
would furnish employment, at good wag
es, for from thirty to forty laborers, who
must be ted, and this would create an ex
tra marke for farm produce; freight
would be saved on whatever amount of
wool the mills consume ; the money ex
pended for woolen goods would not go
abroad, but would be spent at home;
the wages earned by the employes would
nearly all be spent here. Taken alto
gether the actual benefit to the county
trom the establishment of such an enter
prise would be nearly double the amount
the mills would expend for material,
labor, etc.
THE ITATA HEARD FROM.
New York, June 4. A Herald special
from Iquique says that great enthusiasm

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. -
Washington, June4. There can- be
but little doubt but the navy, depart
ment has received some assurance of the
surrender of the Itata, but officials there
will not say so. Still it can be stated
that admiral McCann expected to send
the Itata back to the United States,
