Cincinnati, Aug. 29. Beyond all
question tbe irrigation scheme being
pushed in Florida by capitalists of this
city, Philadelphia and New York, is to
be the greatest North America has ever
seen. At present it is only a big land
syndicate, but it may develop into the
giant sugar monopoly of the world. The
company has had an existence for
months, and through its agents has se
cured at a few cents an acre a tract of
land on the St. John and Indian l ivers,
eighty-three miles long and from three
to six miles wide. It has threo feet of
rich muck, and it is estimated to be
worth 100 an acre when drained. It is
estimated that it will require $4,000,000
to coinolete thedrainnsc. Thev are now
at work discing out the trenches. The
building of dikes and laying of pipes
will begin in October.
A Queer Coffin.
Cbnterville, Iowa,- Aug. 29. Ileze-
'kiah Sheppherd, a wealthy farmer
: ninety years old, who lived at Drake-
-ville, was buried recently in a collin in
the shape of a chair. For fifteen years
Mr. Sheppherd has been unable to rest,
except by eitting in an easy chair, and
in that position he proposed to die. His
friends tried to dissuade him from his
eccentric notion, but he had a cabinet
maker construct the curious casket. It
was substantially built of white oak,
with walnut trimmings. . It was kept
on exhibition in Mr. Sheppherd's room
six week 8 previous to his death, and be
took special satisfaction in displaying it
to his friends. He left instructions to
have his body placed in this casket in a
sitting postnre, the wrists strapped to
the arms of the casket, the limbs to its
legs, and the head and the neck to the
back. A glass panel was placed in front,
to expose the face of the dead man.
international Grain Market.
Vienna, Austria, Aug .29v The great I
International grain and seed market was
opened today with a large representa-
tion from American as well as Euro-
pe'an countries. The proceedings were
opened with a conference in the great
hall of the agricultural bourse. An im-
mense amount of statistical material has
been sent in for the consideration of the
delegates, and tomorrow reports will be
presented giving estimates of the har
vests of 1892 in the United States, Cana-
da, Kuesia, India, and other grain pro-
-aucing countries. '.......
Canada Will Come In.
St. Louis Globe. G. C. Montgomery,
a resident of Toronto, says : "I live in
Canada, and I do know that annexation
to the United States is only a question
of a very few years. The youngest gen
eration are entirely too broad-guaged to
long remain the wards of royalty. . The
necessities of trade will compel Canada
to apply for admission to the union.
With Canada on the southeast, United
States on the south, and Alaska on the
west, that vast and little known coun-
try called British America will be devel-
oped, and will fall naturally under the
siars ana stripes, it would do impoii-
tic to allow England to . retain it nnder
such conditions. There are some of the
greatest timber belts in the world, and
many rich mines awaiting development
in that vast territory. There will one
day be great American cities 600 miles
north of St. Paul."
Weather Report.
Pobtland, Aug. SI. The official
weather bulletin yesterday says of east
ern Oregon : Threshing operations are
in full blast in most counties. In Grant
county the prospects for wheat are said
to be good, while in Baker county wheat
is turning out from twenty to forty-five
bushels per acre. The general tone of
- the reports concerning the wheat crop is
more cheerful. What little hav yet re
mains to be cat is being harvested with
great activity, the weather being excep
tionally one. very little change is
noted in the condition of fruit as com
pared with last week. In some counties
ft is said to be looking well. Corn could
yet be improved some by a timely rain,
but not so with potatoes which are fast
drying np. -
A Galena Mine.
. Grant County News. The most cur
ions discovery made in the Slocari die-1
trict is what is known as Con Dough
erty's galena farm. This remarkable
strike is on the flat bench which extends
back from the creek shore to the south
of Four-Mile " creek. - In the midst
of the swamp Mr. Dougherty
found rich croppings of galena, and he
nuu un partners are digging out ore like
farmers digging potatoes.
- Boston-, Aug. 31. Gilbert 6, Bice, the
mnn whose sufferincs at the hands of
Tennessee miners did so much to turn
sentiment against them, arrived here
yesterday to consult a specialist on his
ailments rcsultinc from maltreatment
by the miners. Rice said the men cap
tured him while he was investigating
land he was about to purchase, and
thinking he was a spy set about to devise
means to punish him. It was decided
to tie him by the neck to a freight car
sidetracked, on a steep incline, with a
lariat one of the miners had. Bice in
reciting the story, ays the decision was
quickly carried out. "The noose was
drawn around my neck and the brakes
loosened. One of the miners dropped
the noose from my neck to my waist.
As the carstarted th lariat straightened
out and I took a step forward. Tnen
another and another, until I found it
difficult to keep up. The sides of the
track were lined with a jeering mob of
miners. As the car passed they cheered
wildly. There was a sudden turn as the
car flew around the curves, and at the
end of the taut lariat I feltmvself flying
through space. I had gone off on a tan
gent and the rope near the ear struck a
telegraph pole with a suddeness that
made me dizzy. The rope wound itself
rapidly around the pole. There was a
sharp report, the laiiat parted and the
car went on. As I swung around tne
pole the lariat grew Bhorter and shorter
until I was brought flat opto the pole
with a force that took my breath and
rendered me insensiblo. Hours later I
revived and got free from the lariat
which had torn my flesh about my loins
into shreds. Two ribs were broken and
I was bruised all over. I found a squat
ters hut and two days later was in Knox
ville. I have been very ill ever since.
My weight has fallen from 205 pounds,
three weeks ago, to 150 now and the
shock has turned my hair white."
AKTESIAN IRRIGATION.
The Oregon Assembly Should Petition
Congress on ' The Subject.
From the Prlneville News.
Congress appropriated a sum of money
for the purposo of conducting artesian
experiments in either Oregon or Wash
ington, whichever state should first ac
cept it and provide a practical and econ
omical method for its expenditure. This
money was allowed to lapse back to the
treasury, and the good it might have
accomplished for some of the arid, sec
tions of the west remains undemonatrat
ed. If our state legislature will petition
congress with a memorial ' abking that
such an appropriation bo made for the
purpose of experimenting on dry nplands
of the eastern' portion of the stato and
providing a conservative method of ex
penditure, it is not unlikely that an ap
propriation sufficient to the need will be
made next session. The objection of
mere local import could not be reaeon-
ably urged against an act making such
an appropriation, as its benencient re
suits would accrue to those industries
upon the success of which the prosperity
of the country depends. There is too
little apparent chance for success to
justify the risk of private capital in the
enterprise exceit when Drivate interest
i -
demands that an effort of that kind be
made. "
It is no part of an individual's duty
to engage in an enterprise that will re
suit favorably to the 'government and
leave him no better off than before ; but
it is the duty of the government to pro
vide all things necessary to rendering its
domain eligible to the .use of homeseek-
ers. There should be a concerted action
on the matter by residents of Eastern
Oregon, and all possible information
furnished the legislature concerning the
geological formation at different points
where such wells would be of value,
Here in tbe basin between the two great
mountain ranges of the state, there are
favorable indications of subterranean
streams of artesian nature, and the
Lninion of those who have riven the
subject much thought is, that we have
excellent ODDortunitv to successfully
prospect for such streams.
Bogus Money.
Telegram. Reports are received from
points up the valley that counterfeiters
are circulating bogus coin and green'
backs. Persona handling money these
times would do well to keep their eyes
wide open. In some places they are
using the old dodge by changing a $2
bill to $10 by pasting the figure ten from
a cigar stamp on a $2 bill,' and when the
work is skillfully done it is said that one
can hardly tell tbe difference. The bo
gus silver coins are lighter than the gen
uine and have a slick feeling and can be
detected by their ring. In some instan
ces the doctored $z bills have passed as
$10 bills through many hands before
being noticed.
The Price of Wheat.
Review. The sale of 21,000 bushels of
wheat was effected at Garfield the other
day. ' The price paid was 55 cents sacked.
The Enterprise states that the sale was
not considered at all favorable, as the
grain was of a superior quality and at
tbe same time wheat was selling for 57
cents at Pullman.
Come to Oregon.
Astorian. People who will not go to
Europe on account of the cholera should
resolve to see more - of their own coun
try, including fair and fruitful Oregon.
They will gain more useful knowledge
by such tours than they could acquire
I In Europe.
JIM HILL DROPS OUT
Has no Fnrtiier Usef or Tne Transc m-
tincntal Meib.
WILL MAKE RATES TO SPOKANE.
Explanation of .The Workings of The
Rate In Past Affairs.
ADOPTING TBE MILBAGK SYSTEM
Will Make Spokane the Jobbing Centre
of the Northwest The Hungarian
Zone System.
Spokane, Aug. 31. A Chicago special
says no other line has yet followed the
example of the Great Northern in with
drawing from the Transcontinental as
sociation. Word came, however, from
St. Paul to Spokane which will rende
it impossible for the Northern Pacific to
relain its membership after the Great
Northern retires. President Hill has
definitely abandoned the policy of rate'
making in force on the transcontinental
lines. He announces he will make rates
based on mileage alone between St. Paul
and thePacific. At ' present all the
transcontinental rates to the Pacific
coast terminal points are based on ocean
competition. For instance a commodity
from St. Paul to Portland over the North
ern Pacific might take a rate of ?-i per
100 pounds. The samecommodity-sbip'
ped over the same line to Spokane might
and probably would take a rate of $2,501
or more per 100 pounds. - Spokane is 37o
miles east of Portland, but the Northern
Pacific would carry the same commodity
through Spokane and 375 miles farther
for 50 cents per 100 less.
: This system of rate-making applies on
all trauscontinental lines, and has been
approved by the' interstate commerce
commission in. spite , of tho long and
short haul section of tbe act. The rea
son given for this system, and which is
considered good by the commission, is
that lines are compelled to make un
reasonably low rates to terminal points
to meet ocean competition.' Were they
to use these terminal rates as the max
ima, and scale down all interior points
back to zero as a starting point, the
whole system of roads would be - non
paying. Either the transcontinental
lines must abandon business to seaboard
points or arrange in some way to makeup
the deficit for low terminal rates. It is
this system which the Great Northern
intends to overthrow by its : mileage
charges; -.- - ' - : :
The note of victory, from Spokane
could almost be heard in Chicago. It
proposes to became the jobbing' center
of the northwest; and- to utterly eclipse
the pretensions of Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle. Spokane is the competing
point of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, and, of course, reduced rates
must be met by the latter. The North
ern Pacific will aleo ' be forced to aban
don its present system of making inland
rates by meeting the rales of the Great
Northern. This, in turn, will either
drive it out of the association, or compel
the other transcontinental lines to aban
don their local inland additions, to a
through basis. Chicago officials are ca
rious to know how President Hill' will
scale bis basis of rates. It is' thought
he may attempt- the application of the
Hungarian zone system, making the
same rates, for instance, to all points
Within the same zone. ;
Not Creditable to Either Party.'
; Astorian. The - Washington demo
crats, as well as the republicans, have
given too much importance .to the Seat
tle ditch scheme. It 'looks as if the
people of Seattle were resolved to make
the state bow down and worship this
absurd attempt to procure public money
for a local so-called improvement. It is
not creditable to tho common eense of
either party that they have tolerated a
canal plank in their platform for a mo
ment. The. convention fights on this
subject will only serve to warn congress
against the miserable scheme to pro
mote a real estate deal at the public ex
pense. , . . ; - : ' "
The Big Can Factory.
Telegram. The gun factory project is
again being agitated, and it is quite
probable that a board of officers may
visit this coast and decide upon a loca
tion. If they do come, a heavy responsi
bility rests upon the local chamber of
commerce to provide them with every,
facility for seeing the advantages of the
Columbia in choosing a site. This would
be such a splendid prize for Oregon that
no pains must be spared to bring it here.
Washington and California will make a
vigorous contest, but between the two
Oregon can show the best inducements.
An Old Flow. - -'
West Side. F. A. Patterson brought
down an old plow from his house, and
it is now on exhibition at O'Donneli ' &
Irvine's hardware store. It was brought
across the plains in 1847 by J. E. David
son. This plow is of the wooden mole
board pattern, and, looks- very ancient
beside an Oliver chilled plow of modern
date. '. . - . , J
Spokam, Sept. 1. Both the Idaho
gubernatorial candidates happened to
be in this city yesterday, and both were
talked to about the coming campaign
"Idaho is republican by a large major
ity, and the democrats are not in it,
ion can just quote me as saying so,
said McConnell, the republican nominee
for governor, to a Beview reporter. -
From information gathered here and
there among well-posted Idaho politi
cians, and from the candidates on tfv
different tickets, it looks as if the cam
paign in that state w3uld be several de
grees hotter than fire from a gatling
gun in full action. -The third party is
itself a very vigorous body politic, ao
cording to Mr. McConnell's ideas on the
subject.
..we snail start it with all guns
loaded about September 15th," eaid Mr,
McConnell, "and we'll just make a clean
sweep of the state. This campaign will
be no joke, I can -tell yon. We shall
make a thorough canvass of every city
town, village andminingcamp in Idaho
from the extreme north to the farthest
south and from Washington to Montana,
The fight will hinge principally on the
question of tariff. The people are not
yet educated on that. A generation
has come and gone since free trade held
sway and the people know little or notiv
ing of the evils of it. But we propose to
teach them the needed lesson. The re
publicans of our state are for protection
and free coinage of silver. The state
delegation to congress is a unit on those
points. The republican ticket now in
tue iieiu stands pledged to tbe same
platform and- principles. As to tho
democrats, no one knows just how or
where they stand.
'.'The third party is not to bo ignored
in this campaign either," continued Mr.
McConnell. "It is a pretty strong pol
itical organization in, Idaho. Yon see
there are many democrats in it; demo
crats who are ashamed to affiliate with
the democratic party any longer, and of
course, having a goodly strength of num
bers, they will make things interesting
both ways for the other two parties,
But, as I said before, Idaho ia republi
can, there is no doubt about that.
'We shall put about .twenty able
speakers in the field by the middle of
September, and in addition to these we
will have a large number of local ora
tors who will help to keep the campaign
warm." ;
THE WHEAT. SITUATION.
Sales Slow and the Market Quiet-'
-Big
Deal in Grand Bonde Grain. -
From the East Oregonlan.
The wheat situation is a trifle quiet
Local dealers report but a: few transac
tions so far in Umatilla county grain.
Purchases as yet made have . been
usually in small lots. The largest deal
of the season has been in Grande Ronde

wire rece.ntly contracted for by Hamil
ton (tBourke,. who. have made arrange-
ments to handle consiuoraoto urano

warehouses at all points along the Elgin
branch, and are building' an elevator,
with cleaning machine, and chop mill.
at La Grande. Not much Umatilla
county grain is moving. More has been
received at Mission, on the river, than
at any other station. From this point,
30,000 bushels have been shipped, and
there is perhaps as much more in the
elevator and Hamilton . & Bourke's
warehouse.
Along the O. and W. T. B., farmers
seem to have difficulty in getting endugb
machines, and threshing is backward
Bcports from North of Snake jiver eay
that the berry is very fine, and the crop
generally will be of No. 1 quality. In all
the region south of the river, including
Columbia. Garfield, Walla Walla and
Umatilla counties, the grain is more or
less shriveled. The Grand Bonde val
ley crop is on the whole very good. The
market here is in a dull and quiet con
dition, the. principal cause being activo
sales of Wiliametto valley grain. Port
land quotations indicate that our No. 1
grain is worth no more than 63 or 54
cents per bushel, sacked, although bet
ter prices than this have been paid,
Deliverance at Hand.
Beview. The report that President
Hill of the Great Northern would with
draw from the transcontinental associa
tion and give to Spokane the justice so
long denied by other roads has been
confirmed.' This example must be fol
lowed by the Northern Pacific to retain
its trade and meet the competition of it6
young and vigorous rival. Terminal
rates are now all but assured. The
Union Pacific must also fall into line
with the other roads and the day of de
liverance is at band. Spokane will now
be able to compete On equal terms with
her seaboard rivals, and drive their job
bing trade, out of her territory and far
into their own. She bas only asked
justice.' Now that reasonable assurance
has been given that she is to receire
that justice, tardy though it be, no limit
can be placed upon tho rapid advance
that she will make. She will grow
more amazingly than ever in population,
n wealth and in power. . Never provin
cial, she will become in truth metro
politan. The rainbow of promise, glit
tering in matchless beauty, is arched
above the magic city by the falls. . -

DEATHS FROM THE TRUE DISEASE.

FIRST REPOKT GATS A CLEAN BILL.
The Same Mistake Made in This
Case
That Was Made In the Gemma
Case at London.
rtiw xobk, fcept. l. The tact is now
well established that it was true Asiatic
Cholera which caused the death of
twenty-two passengers on board the
steamship Moravia, of the Hamburg'
American line, from Hamburg. During
the passage of the ship to this point
which the ship doctor insisted were from
cholcraine. All were buried at sea
Tbe Grst death took place August 10th
and the last death August 29th. The
Moravia was ordered to lower bay, and
the health officers who made the in
specuon oi tne jworavia.s passengers
pronounce the cause . of death in the
stricken cases as .true Asiatic cholera,
All the immigrants in tho steamship
wero transferred to Hoffman Island.
Alter leaving, nr. Jenkins was sum
moned from shore, when his deputy
who first went aboard, learned of tha
condition of affairs, and he personally
interviewed the ship physician and of
ficers regarding the disease aboard the
shjp. The surgeon of the Moravia de
clared tho twenty-two passengers of the
ship had undoubtedly . died of chol
eraine, and Dr. Jenkins immediately or'
dered the steamer off shore, giving her
commander instructions to anchor off
Hoffman island and remain until he re
ceived further orders. After the doctor
left the steamer she-weighed anchor and
immediately returned, to the lower bay,
the yellow flag, indicating she had con.
taeion aboard, flying from her foremast
head. ""
It was at first given out that the Mo
ravia had a clean bill of health, and that
the doctor had been surprised at the
clean, healthy condition of the vessel
The return of the steamer to tha lower
bay created .no surprise 'or suspicion,. as
it was believed that the immigrant pas
sengers on board were to be treated to a
bath at Hoffman island, and then landed
for fumigating, the ship and. their
clothes. When the facts began to gain
circulation there was a panic among the
people who had flocked down to the
shore to witness the operations of the
doctors on tbe vessels. The story was at
first discredited, but Talmadge soon con
firmed it. Tljpse whose business did not
detain them at the spot immediately
hurried away from the station..
Dr. Jenkins informed the people of
the Bed Star line last night that cabin
passengers could be taken off the Fries
land when a steamboat went down to
take them off. "The custom house in
spector refused to let any of the passen
gers take away their handbags, and
only seventy-five of the passengers would
leave without them. The Erieeland was
released and came up to the dock at Ho-
boken, where ail her passengers were
landed. Tho Italia was also released
after inspection, as her passengers did
not come from a cholera infected port,
The White Star steamer Teutonic got
nto quarantine, and will undergo a
close inspection before being allowed to
go tj her dock. At the office of the
Cunarders, cable dispatches were re
ceived statjng that all communication
with Hamburg had been stopped by tbe
Liverpool authorities.
A London dispatch says the people
of England generally are beginning to'
be nervously apprehensive that, despite
the quarantine regulations, the country
is doomed to another siege of the chol
era plague. Prof. J. O. Aflick, medical
examiner of the university of Edinburg,
has declared, in an article on cholera,
that in general a high temperature fa
vors development of the disease, ' but
that some of the most severe epidemics
known have raged with the greatest
fury in winter. There is deep indigna
tion at the authorities for permitting
passengers to land from tbe eteamer
Peregrine, from Hamburg. These pass
engers, after examination, were allowed
to land, with the result that they have
introduced cholera into one of the most
densely populated quarters of London.
Four Russian emigrants at Liverpool,
were attacked while waiting to go on
board a steamer for the United States.
Physicians have declared the disease to
Lbe true Asiatic cholera." The announce
ment has created great excitement and
the authorities are doing everything pos
sible to prevent a spread of the disease.
It is feared, however, that will be im
possible. - . . . ' . N

THE MABIXE CADETS.
- . ' ".. '
Wow Some of the Youths mi Kagene' Are
. Taught to Act. "'
During the Turner's festival ia Port
land recently visitors from The Dalles
greatly admired the drill of a corps of
youths from Eugene, and Mr. I. C.
Nickelson brought with' him a large
sized photograph - which presonted
view of the boys, together with others,
which has since then attracted consider
able attention. It will be interesting to .
many of our readers to know more of
them-as they arc being- recognized by a
military and athletic companies from
California to Washington. Nearly two
years ago a boy named Emil Baker, son.
of Chas. Baker of Eugene, says a corres
pondent, wanted a gun. Mr. G. A.
Sachs, who was an officer in the royal
Saxon artillery, began teaching the little
fellow the tatics of the German army.
Soon Emil's friends who eaw his rifle
made after the Prussian . gun model.
wanted to learn to be soldiers, too. It
was not long before Mr. Sachs had his .
hands fnll, for as fast as the bovs came
he made them guns and drilled ' them '
until he now lias a company of sixty .
Iys and sixteen young ladies, who drilf
with lances and calisthenics, exercises
tending to physical improvement. The
training which tbe boys receive are tbe
German army tactics : 1, German gym
nastic, which consists of sixty different .
movements of the body, developing
every member of the body uniformly. ""'
2, gymnastics with rifles. 3, manual of
arms. 4, marching. 5. field tactics.
Tho suits are made Iiko sailor suits,
therefore the name Marine Cadets was
adopted. ' . '
The Guard gives the following as the
rules and conditions on which a boy
may join the Marine Cadets : Cleanli
ness, he must not come to drill with,
soiled hands Or face; Tie must not use.
tobaceoinany form; lie must not use
profane language and must be attentive
to all 'commands of Ujs instructor. -When
the boys liave learned-tho drill
and have-' conducted n themselves like
soldiers, their guns are. given to them.
The organization is face .to all boys', rich
or poor, ' bid or good. .The. .boys who
would "be'on tho Btreets and lu. .mischief
may be yours. Idleness nakes bad
boys," bad boys makes bad men and they .
fill our jails. The cadets art) taught to .
use their comrades like gentlemen, and
care is taken Co develop them , morally
as well as physically." We who, have
watched with pleasure the work of Mr.
Sachs, know he has spent all hia spare
time and money on our. children and .
brought them to their present-condition -with
but little aid, and starting in after
today provision has been 'made for a
comfortable hall, for their ubo, and Mr.
Sachs will spend eighteen- hours each

has heretofore. It is a credit to Eugene

- Walla Walla Grain Sacks.
'Statesman. In a conversation with.
Warden McClees, a reporter learns that
the jute mill at the penitentiary shut -down-last
Friday on account of the sup-,
ply of raw material running oat..' A
large shipment, direct from. Calcutta, is .
on the way and is expected to arrive in -
a lew days, when-operations will be

ment that is now coming the officials
have ordered five hundred bales,- which .
will arrive in about six weeks or two
months. Up to date, there bave been
about 170,000 sacks manufactured at the
mill, the quality of which is conceded
by all to be far ' superior to anything
ever put .on tho market here before.
The sacks are sold at 0g cents at ' pres
ent, and the indications are that next
year they will be sold for six." When
tbe reader stops to consider 'that here
tofore the farmers have been compelled
to pay all the way from B4 to 9) cents
per sack, it can be readily, seen what a
boom this jute mill, is to the grain-
raisers of Washington. The dav of
high-priced grain and wool bags in the
northwest is a thing of the past.
