OREGON IS ALL RIGHT.
It seems absurd, but it is nevertheless
a fact, that the worst scorching Oregon
ever got was the damaging crop reports
sent out by nearly every press in the
land from May 1, to July 1, 1892. But
instend the crops of Oregon being burned

The firit report sent out traveled rap
idly, and it is only recently that a re
action has set in. Up to within a week
since eastern capitalists refused loans on
xeal estate in this division of the Inland
Empire, but the scandal inflicted upon
-as has been wiped out, in part by The
Chronicle, and after this month it will
be possible for a farmer to obtain any
loan desired, without commissions ad
ded. The favor has already extended
across the Columbia.
An -Astorian dispatch speaks of it as
"a rare sight" yesterday when the- four
waeted bark Metropolis sailed out to
aea without the assistance of a tug and
under lull sail. The veeael lifted an
chor in front of" the city, and, under the
force -of a .northeast breeze, sailed di
rectly out. She presented a grand sight
as she plowed the water at a rapid rate,
with her canvas exposed to the bright
rays of the morning sun, no doubt, but
the writer has seen a fleet of eleven
hips tail in, all in one day, without the
assistance of either tug or pilot.
Reports from New York are full of
encouragement for the republicans.
The different elements of the party in
that state are united and enthusiastic,
and Mr. Blaine's appearance at head
quarters and his recent utterances have
bad a splendid influence. On the other
hand, the democrats are in a bad shape.
Tammany is in line, but its control of
the machine has disgusted the anti
snappers. Hill is as cold as an icicle,
and Bounce Cockran has lost his elo
quence. New York is almost certain to
ast its vote for Harrison and Keid.
Concerning Gladstone's proposal to
withdraw the British troops from the
Uorth American colonies, and require
the Canadians and New Foundlanders
to maintain their own means of defense,
it is said that Mr. Gladstone has ex
pressed the opinion that if the colonists
should learn something bv experience
as to the cost of military strength and
display they will be less inclined to in
volve themselves in cosily and unprofit
able wars.
Careful inquiries have been made
among the mill men and timber cruisers
in order to ascertain how much cedar
there is standing. While accurate fig
ures cannot be obtained, the most con
servative estimate is that the supply
will not be exhausted within 40 years.
It is said that there is enough red cedar
between Puget sound and Gray's harbor
to snpply the demand for twenty-five
years. By that time there will be a sec
ond growth.
In Walla Walla there has been estab
lished a new society called "The Asso
ciation of Married Women for the Con
trol of Husbands." It is understood
that the gentlemen will retaliate. by
forming an association for the protec
tion of married women from mice.
. The weather in England is cold and
etormy, along the Tyne a heavy hail and
enow storm prevailing. ''Vessels return
ing to London report heavy weather
outside. In Norfolk the ground ia white
with snow and the whole country wears
a wintry aspect.
Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish Amer
ican, will tender a reception tonight in
New York, to Hon. Patrick Egan, min
ister to Chili. This ia purely an in
' formal social affair. Members 'of both
parties have been invited and will be
present.

Readers of Dickens will easily recall
the intense anxiety which was felt by
Mr. Baps, little Dombey'a dancing mas
ter, over the terrific dangers to which
England was exposed by "the drain of
gold." He dwelt upon this theme, at
great length, in solemn discourse witn
Mr. Toots, inauirinz what we should do,
if Rnssia rxrared in her tallows and
Africa her palm oil, to the manifest
drain of our gold, in exchange lor a nooa
f fnreicm nroducts. Mr. Toots, with
that sturdy common sense which ever
characterized him, replied: "Look
'em." But. as the historian records,
Mr. Baba seemed to think that this
would hardly do. In thia, however, Mr.
Baps showed his inferior grasp of the
situation. For that which the immortal
Toots recommended is exactly what all
civilized nations do. Innumerable Bap
ses flourish upon American soil and per
petually afflict their souls over the bal
ance of trade and the drain of gold.
But the drain of gold is not so bad for
Uncle Sam when it can be purchased
with United States paper money at par,
for export, as was done last summer to
the amount of $10,000,000.
There appears now to be some founda
tion in fact concerning the combination
of the U. P. R. Co. and the Astoria and
Portland railway. Corey Bros. & Co.
hold claims against the road to the
amount of $325,000 and a new organiza
tion has been formed, consisting of
Corey Bros., Mr. Kiesel, a capitalist of
Ogden, and others. These gentlemen
have taken up the claims and will pay
them off. The new proposition sub
mitted to the trustees only dlflers
slightly from the old contract, and pro
vides that the time of finishing the road
be extended until December, 1893. If
satisfactory arrangements can be com
pleted, work will be resumed early in
November. Several eaetern parties
have been looking over the ground with
a view to purchasing the road.
An Omaha rainbow says three of the
most influential democrats of Nebraska,
in secret session all last night, have de
cided to support the Weaver presiden
tial electors. The. democratic electors
will in! kept in the field, however, to
maintain the' party organization. As
the three parties have been about
equally divided, it is believed this will
certainly beat the Harrison electors.
Sam L. Simpson, Oregons bard, is now
connected with Astorias new democratic
daily, the Budget. Mr. Simpson at one
time was managing editor of the Over
land Monthly Magazine, published at
San Francisco, was also employed at a
large salary by the Bancroft Historical
Publishing company, aud has held other
responsible and important positions.
The Wilbur Register states that about
40,000 bushels of wheat are stored on
platforms near the depot in that town,
and grain continues to .pour in at the
rate of 1,000 bushels per day. It is esti
mated that not more than one-twentieth
of the in that vicinity has been marketed.

Agents of the pest ship companies of
New York whose boats were detained .in
quarantine have adopted resolutions in
praise of the course of Dr. Jenkins.
This is important, considering the fact
that they were the greatest sufferers
from the cholera scare, as well as the
producers of the trouble.
The wheat market at Athena, near
Pendleton, is quite lively at present, the
grain bringing a good price, as high as
62 cents having been paid. There is yet
much threshing to do in that vicinity,
although elevators and warehouses are
already full.
A New York clergyman thinks that
Columbus, so far from being a great hero,
was, in fact a rather cheap and despi
cable person. The clergymen does not
seem to appreciate the privilege of hav
ing been born in America.
Census bulletins covering the manu
facturing industries of Qmaha and
Albany show an increase in the rate of
wages of nearly 50 per cent, over the
wages paid in 1880. That doesn't look
much like calamity.
One of the modern French novelists
has been accused of plagiarixing from
himself. Hare is a case where the crime
of theft appears to be complicated with
the sin of bad critical judgement.
The people's party is now so fused and
amalgamated with other parties that its
members have considerable difficulty in
sorting themselves out.
Wheat is worth $1.10 per bushel in
Great Falls, Montana, where the local
industries provide an army of consumer
It will be all used at home.

The Dalles, July 16, 1892. ... :
William Michbll,
7.18tf Treasurer Wasco County, Or.
Lee Fairchild has made a vigorous,
canvass in Washington for the republi
cans. He tells of a cousin of bis in the
PalouRe country, who used his influence
to get Lee over to the populists side.
"Now," said he, "we need you in this
party, for you are educated and could
help us along by writing for us." "I
tried to show him and be modest at the
same time," said Lee, "that it would
be difficult to get an educated man into
the new party unless he had failed to
get office in an older party. I told him
also that the sub-treasury scheme was a
determining factor ; that it separated the
sheep of intelligence from the goats of
intelligence. He had wit enough to
hand me a pair of shears, whereupon I
informed him that we do not sheer
goats!" Then he asked me why Uncle
Saiu should not loan money to the far
mers instead of to the national banks.
Of course I placed my hand over my face
and smiled. Then I asked him if he
were acquainted with his big uncle. I
reminded him that this is a government
by the people and that Uncle Sam was
the people in representation. Then I
asked him if he ever tried to loan him
self a dollar. He got up and took a walk
across the floor and showed signs of in
tellectual activity. His Eenses were on
the way coming back to him, but the
distance was too great. I then told him
that Uncle Sam never loaned a dollar to
a national bank and that they were cal
led 'national' because the nation regu
lated them so as to secure those who
took their paper against loss in case the
banks failed. He seemed sur
prised to learn that and began walking
the floor again. Then he asked, 'Is it
possible that so shrewd a man as Mr.
Young, candidate for governor of Wash
ington, can be mistaken?' I showed him
how all the Argentine republic had been
mistaken on the money question, to the
raining of the country's credit at home
and abroad; also how all France bad
gone to the dogs on the question of fin
ance. And what aia tnis very cousin
say? This: may he never speak again!
'The Argentine republic and France may
be mistaken ; but Mr. Young ia neither
the Argentine republican nor France.'
I agreed with him and asked him if he
had ever seen a railroad engine? My
cousin has a fiddle .and can play' like
sixty on three strings. He entertained
me with au artistic execution of Cotton
Eyed Joe which I mistook for Wool-
Eyed Jim. He also, sawed off for he just
saws with the bow, The Girl I Left Be
hind me. He soon re-tried me and then
I suggested that we both retire. In his
not too elaborate preparation to forget
the world I noticed that he had on no
socks. I questioned him relative to this,
thinking that his shoes might be too'
small to admit of anything in the line of
wool or cotton. Not so; he said he ex-:
pected to run for congress most any
time and wanted to have as little weight
on his feet as possible. He soon went
to sleep too deep for dreams. Blessed
are they who know too little."
