county.
It would not be a bad idea to hire a
small boy to clean the lamps of the arc
lights. It would certainly improve
their light-giving qualities.
Professor Ingalls has received about
$30, in the form of subscriptions to
fund to be used in the purchase of books
of reference for the Wasco Academy-
Captain' John Lewis, register of the
land office at this place, has obtained a

than to let go." The battle will be
fought on the evening of the 2d pros,
and the versatile editor of the Glacier
will lead the hosts on the affirmative
side. Now let the world hold its breath
1 till this question is decided. -
Chris Dethman of Hood River while in
r the city recently, informed ua that he has
now in his orchard a prune tree of the
Samoa variety that is in full bloom
It is a two year old and has never had a
drop of irrigation. Mr. 'Dethman says
he raised this year also without irriga-.
tlon over a hundred bushels of late rose
potatoes on a patch of ground, a quarter

showing for any country in the world.
V. C. Brockr'ccpnty clerk of Sherman

A very large acreage has been sown to
wheat this fall and Sherman county will
soon have abandoned spring sowing al
together except for such crops as oats
and barley.
A private letter from J. O. Warner,
late of Xansene, informs us that he has
joined his family at Red Lodge, Park
county, Mont. The town, he informs
us has a population of about 1200. It is

from 50 to 60 car loads a day. Between
three and four hundred men are em
ployed and the pay roll amonnts to
$35,000 a week. They have a tunnel a
mlie long and a branch road to Billings
. 160 miles distant. It is a good stock
country, Mr. Warner says, as lie ever
paw, and the grass keeps green the year
round. The town has one newspaper

wooden booths for the next election, as

A Talk Wltli The Farmer.
By the kindness of the editor and
through the columns of our Dalles
CnnosiCLE I will make a fewremarkato
you which I hope may meet your
approval and, some day prove a great
benefit to the farmer. First of all I
must say I have w atched you very care
fully ever since I was old enough to re
member and your constant aim has been
to restore and maintain honest justice I
to all alike. You have formed in so
cieties and secret orders to try and help
your depressed condition but it all seems
of no avail so far and the banker and
speculator grows richer and richer while
you are either holding your own or get
ting farther behind. Xow there is cer
tainly some unjust cause for all this and
I believe if the right cord was pulled,
things would take a change and the
hard working farmer who ownsafartn
and attends to his work would not suffer
to see his property sacrificed to meet his
necessary expenses. Our laws are such
that a few men may get together and
call themselves bankers, incorporate,
deposit bonds and issue bank notes and
they pass anywere in the United States
for money and is worth its face value.
A farmer can borrow this money by pay
ing ten per cent interest and all neces
sary expense provided he can give good
security. . The interest must be paid at
least once a year. If he has $800 bor
rowed the interest will be $80. In five
years time he has paid out $400 interest.
In ten years he has paid out $800 and
still' owes the principal. Our law
makers tried to help you a little by say
ing that no one shoul-1 charge more
than 10 per cent, wbich only causes a
worse depression in money matters and
money lenders only get a heavier lxnus
bv this law and now have a better
chance of robbery than before, becanse
these larger companies have left the field
and you have to take what yu can get
and pay all they ask. And even then
when these large loan associations were
making so many large loans all over the
country did yon ever stop to tkink what
it was bringing upon your shoulders?
Say for instance the Scotch Loan com
pany was to loan a million dollars in
this vicinity and charge 10 per cent, and
in five years take it all out again. They
would take out the million and send it
back to Scotland ; that part is all right
for that much was their money, but
what about the half million interest
money? How much of it would be used
in manufactories and mills and other
improvements to help build up the
United States? ..None. It would all go
to Scotland together, very likely, never
to return. How long can you farmers
stand this drainage. There, you see, is
a constant leak. Maybe it may not be
you who are paying this leak, but your
neighbor gets short and can't pay yon
what he owes you, so you can not pay
some one else and to you are all short
and have plenty of good debts if you
could only collect them, to pay all yon
owe. If a banker can put up Donds ana
make money, why can't a farmer bond
bis land tor an appraised value and
issue a certain per cent, of money and
thereby save taxes and interest and let
the bonds stand as long as he likes and
use the money, pay no interest and loan
it to his neighbor at a very low rate of
interest, say 2 per cent. ; let that de
pend upon the demand. If every
farmer who owns a deeded piece of land
was allowed to issue upon these bonds a
reasonable amount of money, and
it not cost him anything except
actual ; expense of bonds, etc.,
how much foreign money - would be
loaned at 10 per cent or even one-half
that amount? and besides all the inter
est. Money would be kept at home and
Increase instead of decrease. Some may
think that this plan would flood the
country with money, well if it does let it
flood the country, better do that than
see your neighbor's last wagon and
team or home sold at sheriff's sale and
bring fifty cents on the dollar of what it
is worth. Another advantage in this is
where there are some people who could
not keep a mortgage off their home.
Now if they have their place mortgaged
for $800 and pay 10 per cent in five years
they pay $400 interest and the cost of
making out the papers etc., and on
the other hand if they bond their home
for $800 in 5 years they have only to pay
the cost of making bonds etc., no in
terest to pay and the bonds can stand as
long as the government of the United
States does, -so long as the taxes above
the price of ' the bonds are paid which
wnnlfl riA A vprv smftll Hmnimt. and vnn
pian leave your land to yodr children to
use their life time, when if it was mort
gaged it would have to be paid or sold.
Bonding a home would be sure death to
the mortgages and still a man could
sell one subject to the bond. Our laws
are such that a debt cannot touch a
homestead but they dont keep off mort
gages, but you could bond your borne
and still live and die on it and no one
could say pay me the interest or I will
sell it. SI firmly believe that if my plan
should ever become a law it would give
every man a home that no one would
mortgage and save many a . good man
from begging. Should the editor of the
Chronicle allow us space in his valuable
paper I would be pleased to hear from
many of you and thoroughly discuss this
plan ana it we tmnK u win neip us in
our nnanciai aepression
try to pass such laws.

BORN.
To the wife of Mr. E. E. Lytle, a
bouncing boy. Mother and child doing
nicely.
4th and JiolU inst. ,
The first evening session found about
two hundred persons present.. It was
opened by a song from the choir after
which HonwII. H. Dufur read a very
admirable and able paper on "Our
agricultural interests as connected with
political economy." Mr. Dufur claimed
that the United States owes her great
ness lo agriculture ; yet while the farmer
has toiled to increase his own and the
nation's wealth speculators have eaten
up his substance. The farmer has grown
lean while the nation has grown fat.
The agriculturists are the most conser
vative of all classes yet they are, more
than any others, dissatisfied with the
present condition of affairs. The fault
ie largelv their own and is due mainly
to personal reckless expenditure. The
farmer has not accomodated himself to
surrounding circumstances and altered
conditions. The farm must be conducted
so that the balance of trade will be in
its favor. The leaks on the farm must
stop. Brains must be used as well as
muscle. Farmers to be prosperous must
get down to a cash basis. We need re
form on the farm as well as in the state
or nation. Agriculture should be fos
tered by the state and nation. With the
most magnificent agricultural country in
the world wc should know nothing of
bread and labor riots. Statesmen should
look, more to the prevention of crime
than to methods of punishment. The
country needs a more practical states
manship less talk about states rights
and more about state development
instead of a department of war we want
a department of peace. It is impossible
to do justice to Mr. Dufur's paper with
out publishing it in extenso, which we
hope to do in the near future. After a
duet by the Misses Dufur and Heisler,
Mrs. N. Canfield read an ably written j
paper on "Women's Sphere," in which
she took strong radical ground for
women's rights; ridiculed the Hebrew
"tradition" about women being created
from a man's rib and scored Paul for
having taught that women should occupy
a place subordinate to man, claiming
that his teaching was a reflection of the
ti.ues that produced a Tiberius and a
Nero. The-church had been teaching
that women should pray and men vote ;
Mrs. Canfield proposed-to turn the
tables and have the men pray while the
women did the voting. She claimed
that women's sphere has neither begin
ning nor end; it is boundless as the
ocean. Having paid a glowing tribute
to the gray haired founders of the re
public who had inaugurated a reform in
human government, she prophesied a
coming reform with reference to women's
place in society as great as that which
took place at the commencement of the
Christian era and closed with a highly
complimentary reference to the univer
sity gift of Senator Stanford by which
the future mothers of the nation were
placed on an educational equality with
men so that they may he fully qualified
for their high calling and destiny.
This was followed by a paper by Miss
Margaret Snell, entitled "The depart
ment of household science at the agri
cultural college." This paper was
laigely devoted to an explanation of the
methods of training of young women,
adopted at the college. The door of the
college was open to all ; the cost of yearly
maintenance and tuition neednotexceed
$150. Every branch of know ledge calcu
lated, to fit the young woman for her
future . lot in life as an accomplished
farmer's wife, was taught. They, "were
instructed theoretically and practically
in cooking, sewing, canning, tending the
sick, marketing and other household
duties and acquirements while lessons
were also given in horticulture, floricul
ture, kitchen-gardening as well as in
milinery and dressmaking.
This waa followed by an excellent
paper by Mrs: G. W. Johnston cn "The
cultivation and management of flowers,
in which many important practical sug
gestions were offered.
After the reading of an amusing paper
by State Lecturer Holder in which "the
college ' bred agriculturist was sadly
scored, the question box was opened and
the following questions discussed :
"Should there be a bounty on cayote
scalps?; When is cream ripe?; Is there
any truth in the theory of planting corn
and potatoes in the light of the moon?
This discussion was entered into with
such zest and good humor that it gave
one the impression that it was the most
enjoyable exercise of a yery enjoyable
day and as the clock now indicated nearly
ten the proceedings of the first day of the
Farmer's Institute were brought to a
close by a soug from the. choir.
The third session of the Farmers' In
stitute opened Wednesday morning at
10:30 o'clock with a good attendance.
Aftor music by the choir an essay was
read by J. Trout on "Education and
Reform and how best to obtain them."
Mr. Trout's paper dealt chiefly with the
subject of the nation's finances and advo
cated the views on coinage and currency
usually held by the farmers' alliance.
After a short and animated discussion
a selection of music was admirably ren
dered by the pupils of the Dufur graded
school, followed by a recitation by Mas
ter Charles Percy. Then came a very
able lecture on "The farmer and his
horse" by M. J. Anderson, which was
listened to with marked attention anu
which received the distinction of a
special vote of thanks at its close. This
lecture was replete with instructions re
garding the treatment of this most val
uable and usefnl of all domestic ani
mals, chiefly as it relates to horse-shoeing
and care of the horses' feet. Then
followed a comic recitation by Clark
Bolton on "Michael Schnyder's party"
which was well received. Then came
two musical selections by the school
pupils after which the meeting ad
journed till 1 :30 o'clook.
The afternoon session was opened by
the entire audience rising to their feet
and singing "Work for the night is com
ing," when Professor French read a
valuable paper on "Industrial Educa
tion." The professor claimed that the
mind as well as the hand must be
trained. This was'a foundation feature
of the Agricultural college to combine
manual labor and mental training so as
to make labor pleasant as well as profit
able. This was followed by a reading
by Miss Smith, after which P. P. Under-
wood and D. Harrington read two short j
but suggestive and valuable essays on
III"-' TJ'-ll " 1 . 1
ouuiuier xiuiowmg. racta ana ng- j
nres were given which proved beyond the
shadow of a question that the farmers of I
Wasco comity must resqrt to snmmer
fallowing if they expect to reap the best
results. It was generally agreed that
large extent, in the farmer's own bands.
In the discussion that followed these
papers, questions relating to deep or
shallow plowing, planting corn or pota
toes on summer fallow, leaving the fal
low rough or smooth, cultivating the
fallow, and second plowing and many
others were asked and answered and a
good deal of practical inforraatiau was
elicited.
This waa followed by a recitation by
Miss Eva Vanderpool after which Pro
fessor Frazer read a valuable paper on
"Zoology and botany in our public
schools." The professor ably contended
that no education is complete that does
not embrace the whole man, in his phys
ical as well as mental constitution.
Ed Harriinan then followed with a
short but suggestive paper, in which he
took the affirmative of the question,
"Should the principles of agriculture be
taught in our public schools?" Mr.
Harriinan contended that the common
schools should be furnished with a few
acres of ground by means of which
pupils might be trained in some of the
simpler principles of agricultural sci
ence. A little caustic criticism on ven
tilation in our public schools by Miss
Snell brought Professor Frazer to his
feet only to find that he had his match
in the ringing, clear-cut and incisive
replies of the female professor. The
meeting then adjourned to meet for its
last session at seven o'clock.
The closing session of the institute
opened promptly at 7 o'clock p. m. with
an attendance of about 300 persons.
After a song from the choir Miss Annie
Dufur read an essy on "The Beautiful"
jvhich was full of sublime thoughts ex
pressed in chaste and ellegant diction.
This was followed by a comic essay on
"Poultry Raising" by E. C. Warren
which fairlv convulsed the house with
laughter ; then a song by the choir fol
lowed by a recitation by Miss I. Thomas,
and then the meeting was entertained
bv an address from State Lecturer
Holder on the question, "Should Farm
ere Organize." Mr. Holder took strong
ground in . favor of farmers' organiza
tions, insisting that every farming com
munity should have its own organiza
tion. Every benefit that labor has wrung
from capital has been obtained by
organization. At the close of this really
excellent and sensible address Chairman
Dufur took the floor and among other
earnest words said "Farmers are today
as much slaves to the combined in
fluence of capital as were the neggoes to
their southern slave owners before the
war. To rid themselves of these chains
farmers ought to and must join some
farmers' organization. Then facing Mr.
Holder who temporarily occupying the
chair he asked the question, "Now
Brother Holder what are you going to do
about it? But before that gentleman
had time to answer. Frank Lee of the
Northwest Paciffc Farmer sprang to his
feet and exclaimed "Support the Regu
lator," which was answered by hearty
applause from the audience. After an
other song from the choir the question
box was opened and the following ques
tions were read and discussed with in
terest and animation. Does cultiva
tion tend to increase the growth of corn
and tomatoes in Eastern Oregon.
What is the best remedy for blight on
tomttoes, a question. which no one was
able -to answer: Is the grange worth
what it cost? What is fiat money?
"Should a man be allowed to eit on a
jury who cannot read or write? Should
farmers be compelled lo fence' against
stock running at large? Is rain-making
a success, and if so should not the
farmers of Wasco and Sherman coun
ties try to induce the rain-maker to
come here f v ny ao not, tne larmers
hold together like other working men?
Wiiat is the best method for killing wild
oats? How hot ehonld water be for
spraying trees? What is the best woy
to grow celery ? How do you " keep lice
from fowls? What is the best way to
pick a chicken? How can the step of a
horse that interferes be changed? Can
you balance an egg on a thread? which
was answered by Mr. Heisler who per
formed the feat of balancing an egg on a
spool of thread, to the no small amuse
ment.
of the audience.. The closing address
was made by Professor BerchTold who
complimented the institute by saying
that it was the best attended of any be
had known during the year. Then in a
few well-chosen words the professor
thanked the cnair and the pupils of the
Dufur school for their valued assistance
in making the institute a success. He
also thanked the authorities of theM. E
church for granting the use of the build
ing; expressed on behalf of his fellow
professors his deep obligation to the
chairman and to the ladies of Dufur for
receiving them into their homes and
closed by extending a cordial invitation
to any present who might find it con
venient lo visit the college at Corvallis
and get better - acquainted with the
work being done there. The meeting
then unanimously passed formal votes
of thanks to the professors, the chair
man, the choir, the school pupils, Dufur
brass band, theM. E. church and the
representatives of the press. The audience
then rose to its feet and all joined in sing
ing the beantiful song "God Be With
You" and thus ended what all the partic
ipants unanimously voted a pleasant and
profitable farmers' institute.
Bad Blood:
Impure or vitiated blood is nins
times out of ten canned by some
form of constipation or indiges
tion that clogs op the system,
when the blood naturally be
comes impregnated with the ef
fete matter. TheoldSarsaparillas
attempt to reach this condition
by attacking the blood with the
drastic mineral " potash." The potash theory is
old and obsolete. Joy's Vegetable Earsaparilla is
modem. It goes to the seat of the trouble. It
arouses the liver, kidneys and bowels to health
ful action, and invigorates the circulation, and
the impurities are quickly carried off through
the natural channels.
Try it and uoto its delightful
action. Clios. 1-ee, at Beamish'
