Mention. '
Chicago, Oct. 29. Francis E. Willard
resided at the annual meeting of the
; national W. C. T. U., in Denver " yeeter
day, and delivered her address which is
generally . published here today. ' Her
address covers the work of the union tor
the past year, speaking of the work
come and making Bundry suggestions for
furtherance of the objects of the associa
tion. Miss Willard recommends that
local unions petition their respective
legislatures to establish homes for drunk
ardswitha view to their reclamation
. Touching cures for drunkenness, she ex
pressed her earnest belief in the efficacy
of science' in that direction.. She sug'
gests that the union establish such an
institution, to be run not as a money
making concern. On the subject of pro-
kibition, she said that 4,000 of the 9,000
' saloons in New York city were mortgaged
to twenty breweries ; these saloons con
trolled 40.000 votes, or. the balance of
power in the city ; the balance of power
in the citv controlled the state ; and the
tate controlled the result in the nation,
so that twenty breweries in New York
city controlled the fate of this nation
She admitted prohibition, has passed
. the stage of enthusiasm, but declared it
was advancing with the steady tread of
a veteran.
- She said her honest fealty was given
Gen. Bidwell and Rev. Craufield, the
- prohibition candidates for president and
ice-president: still she rejoiced in the
strong help given civil service reform by
. the democratic candidate, though sorry
for his subserviency to the Tammany
tieer. She remembered proudly the
- clean personal record of President Har
-rieon, though sorry he used wine and
that he could not return to power with
ut the liquor vote, She then expressed
sympathy with him in his bereavement.
She said Chicago would be the saloon
battle-ground next year, and the union
- must be prepared to make a fight against
it. She" said the polyglot temperance
petition was signed this year by 1,112,-
. 735 persons. l is probable the petition
will be over twelve miles long. The
. names are from all parts of the world.
A peculiar thing is the fact that the pro
portion of names from the United States
is the smallest of all.
A TIME FOR EVERYTHING.
The law of Supply And Demand Made
Applicable.
The Chronicle recently undertook to
explain that one of the principal reasons
for our faith that the Columbia would
now be speedily opened and made a free
river ; and that The Dalles would rapidly
develop into a milling and manufactur
ing center ; was because of the inevitable
law of supply and demand. The times
demand it. We have shown that two
railways like we have now cannot haul
. the crop of 1893 to the seaboard. The
increased wool production, demand an
open river. The subject is illustrated in
various other ways. For instance, in
1865, Hon. W. H. Fackwood spent a lot
of money up near Huntington, opening
coal mine. Wise ( ?) people thought
it was a foolish waste of money. There
was no demand for coal. But Mr. Pack
wood knew there would be a demand in
time, and he drove his tunnel in 200
feet, and uncovered a vein of coal three
feet in thickness. There was nothing to
justify the search for coal beds in those
days, consequently the execution of the
work was abandoned but not till results
' proved that coal in good qualities existed
along the Snake river about Old's ferry.
After all these years Mr. Packwood
has again returned to the scene of his
early labors and is now determined to
develop what he is certain will prove
- lasting and valuable coal fields. Mr.
Packwood is an old timer in Baker conn
try, one of that stamp who did much to
develop the resources of the country and
make it what it is today. He was a
member of the first .constitutional con
vention of Oregon, served in the Rogue
river and other Indian wars is the early
days on this coast and at all times has
. borne a conspicuous and prominent part
in the upbuilding and advancement of
civilization in the northwest, and from
a long acquaintance with him, and a
knowledge of his persevering nature,'
The Chronicle joins in congratulation
that he has lived to realize that his coal
is in demand, such as to compel the vein
to be opened up again. He went up last
week, and put a force of men at work
cleaning out the old tunnel run by him
4nl865. ... . .
THE INLAND EMPIRE.
Able at Lat to Command Attention Both
In and Ont of Consrea. '
Speaking of the crops in Shermaa
county, Messrs. Chrieman and Connelly
say the acreage for 1893 harvest will be
nearly double that of the harvest just
past. The farmers are driving the sum
mer fallow work in gangs everywhere,
and the sight is one to delight the eyes
of the observer. ;
In this connection it might be prudent
to inquire : How is this immense acre
age to be taken to the coast withouo an
open river? 11 it tanes tne rauway
company eight months to carry the crop
of 1892 to tide water, it is perfectly safe
to estimate that it would take them six
teen months to transport the harvest of
1893. Thus, at a single glance may be
seen, the urgent necessity of having the
cascade canal finished and a portage
built at the dalles before next fall!
The Regulator cannot do everything.
It has regulated freights this year,
however, so that a net saving of $17,750
has accrued from" the expenditure by
the state, of $55,000 at the cascades for
the portage road.
An article which we reproduce today
from the Hillsboro Independent, on
this topic, is worthy of preservation.
The U. P. R. Co. are now running
eight special trains daily in the effort to
get this wheat out. The Regulator goes
loaded every day. With the locks open
few barges could and would do more
work daily than all the available curs
on the facinc coast are aoing, ana
freights would be still further, reduced
Besides that, as the Independent sug
gests, the cascades portage road could
then be abandoned and transferred to
the dalles and the advantages would
then be conferred upon the whole In
land Empire; as the boat or bargi
loaded at the foot of the dalles portage
would be able to go through to Astoria
without the expense of two extra hand
lings at the cascades.
Oar attention has been called to an
other matter which has a. satisfying
effect. A few days since, referring
the excess of the average production of
era in in Oregon, above the total aver
ages by states of the union a? given in
the department statistics, we stated that
this showing would have a tendency to
restore confidence in the Inland Empire
and strengthen sentiment favorable to
our farmers iu financial circles. This
has since been confirmed, and while it
is impossible to negotiate loans in the
Oregon division of the Inland Empire
on as favorable terms as is done across
the river in Washington, because of the
objectionable mortgage tax law ; we are
pleased to know that reports are more
favorable to loans in Wasco, Sherman
etc., than in the most favored districts
of the Willamette vallev.'
All such things tend to imbue us with
the idea that the population and inter
est in the Inland Empire has now
reached a point in numbers and infln
ence sufficient to enable us to throw off
the yoke of the oppressor and boldly as
sert our standing as worthy of consider
ation in and out of congress and legisla
tive assemblies, at all times in the near
future.

Paget Sound Spars In Demand.
Vancouver, B. C, Oct. 28. Thomas
Bently, of the timber firm of Bently &
Fleming, of Halifax, N. S., is here- and
has purchased a cargo of spars amount'
ins to 800,000 feet. A ship has been
chartered shortly to convey them and
also a quantity of cedar for house-finish
ing. Hitherto the firm has purchased
its spars from Boston dealerp who got
them from Puget souud by rail. Fleming
found it cheaper to get them direct from
here.
Too Much Lynch Law.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 28. Governor
Northern, in his annual message to the
legislature, takes ground against the
crime of lynching. He alludes to cases
where persons in custody of the sheriff
have been captured and killed by law
less assemblages. He recommends the
enactment of laws to clearly define the
duties of sheriffs, which will include the
summoning of posses when necessary to
assist them in arresting and holding
violators of the peace ; also the passage
of laws inflicting penalties upon persons
who refuse to assist the sheriffs when
called upon. -
Shot and Killed by Moonshiners.
Nashville,' Oct. 28. J. L. Spurrier,
deputy United States revenue collector,
who was ambuscaded and shot by moon
shiners some days ago, died last night.

Review. It is announced in New
York that Mr. Cleveland, Carl Schurzand
Henry Villard will soon speak to the
Germans from the same platform in New
York. Paul Schulze is so busy whoop
ing up things for the democracy and the
Northern Pacific in Washington that it
will be impossible for him to be there, ,
. Spokane, Oct. 31. The Review yester
day contains the following fitting re
marks generally applicable but specially
directed to the Portland Evening Tele
gram, a staunch democratic organ which
writes an editorial upon local topics
which pinches its o-.vn tariff reform
corns. When the Telegram, editor is not
dilating locally he emits the usual deino
cratic froth over the "iniquity" of protec
ting American manufactories and the
labor employed therein. He is a pretty
good band at seconding Grover Cleve
land s declaration that this protective
policy has "placed enormous unearned
fortunes in the hands of a few
individuals." - But when he wanders
over the city of Portland and becomes
impressed with the desirability of build
ing up home industries he changes his
tune, and can plead with the rest of us
against the disposition of the very rich
men to put their money into almost any
other" channel than manufacturing
Here are a few Telegram sentences which
seem to jar and jangl9 with Mr. Cleve'
land's speech in New York Thursday
night :
If our wealthy business men really
wanted to start new industries here they
could use their own aDundant means,
Portland, in some respects, is showing
marked enterprise notahly in extend
ing street car lines and erecting build
ings. These are good as far aB they go.
but they do not employ large bodies of
men or make heavv pay rolls. It is
time to think of manufacturing as well
as building development, and now is the
important period ot the city's growth
before other places have taken preced
ence. .
The Review tells the Telegram in short
space the reason why Portland rich men
keep,! out of manufacturing, tor one
thing, they think they can make more
money in banking, commerce, transpor
tation and rents. For another, so1 long
as the democratic party is storming at
the gates of protection, rich men have
no assurance that an enterprise fairly
remunerative at present would remain
so once the democracy should be placed
in power. And for still another, they
are not desirous, of being held up as
"robbers" and "tariff thieves." If the
democracy will cease its abuse of the
manufacturers of the country, if it will
stop pandering to an element which is
asserting that protection gives the em
ploye the right to run the bdsiriess of
his employer, and if it will accept the
American policy of a protective tariff as
deep-rooted and abiding, the Telegram
will find that the rich men of the Pacific
coast will soon begin to entertain prop
ositions looking to the establishment of
new industries.
Villard In the Cabinet.
!. Y. (Join. Adv. We are not sur
prised to learn from the Sun that Henry
Villard, in the event of Cleveland's elec
tion,, is expecting a cabinet position
Indeed, from the interest Villard has
taken in raising money for the demo
cratic campaign fund, outside the
World's campaign fund, we should sup
pose he had the promise of one. A cab
inet position would be of great advantage
to Villard in his multifarious and mis
cellaneouB railroad operations, such as
the Northern Pacific, Oregon Transcon
tinental, North American, etc. The die
satisfied investors of these stocks might
not wish to see their promoter placed in
the cabinet, but they are not a majority
ot tne people oi this country.
Rally at Moscow.
Moscow, Idaho, Oct. 31. There was a
republican rally and demonstration here
Saturday night, 250 torches were in line
and colored fires along the march.
There were banners bearing the follow
ing : "Burke's name is Dennis," "Sweet
and silver," "R. H. Browne for treas
urer," "McConnell and Progress,"
Harrison and Reed 1892 to 1896."
McConnell, Sweet, Heyburn and Dubois
addressed the audience. The opera
house could not hold the people. There
was great enthusiasm for Harrison and
McConnell.
Rosalia Wheat.
Rosalia, Oct. 31. Threshing is about
finished in the vicinity, but the grain
still continues to pour in, and as the
elevators are unable to store it inside it
is being piled out of doors. Prices are
somewhat lower, the best price now be
ing 50 cents per bushel, sacked ; oats 90
cents 100 pounds, and barley 75 cents
per 100 pounds. The telephone com
pany have got the wires up on their new
poles. '
HI Censplunous Support of Cleveland
: Fully Explained.
From the Spokane Review.
A belief is current in the east that
the election of Cleveland would be fol
lowed by the' appointment of Henry
Villard as secretary of the interior, Mr.
Vilard" has shown himself an active
Cleveland partisan."" He gave $10,000 to
boom the Buffalo man before the con
vention, and has since drawn his check
for an additional $10,000 for use in the
campaign. This signifies that Mr. Vil
lard desires an important cabinet posit
ion either for himself or for one of his
pliant satelites ; probably the latter, and
possibly Carl Schurz.
Three motives lie back of Mr. Villard's
conspicuous support of the democratic
ticket. As dictator of the Northern
Pacific railroad company, he desires the
election of a president who would put
the general land office into hands satis
factory to that companv. The Northern
Pacific yearly has contests before the
land office and the interior department
involving the homes of thousands of set
lers, and it naturally would like to see
its friends in control of tho. department.
That is why Paul Schulze and the rail
road company are throwing their in
fluence to the democracy of the state.
Mr. Villard desires the election of
Grover Cleveland because the German
bondholders whom he represents in this
country deeire the freer admission of
German manufactures into the markets
of the United States. With Mr. Villard
the will of these bondholders is law. j
He owes his rise from obscurity to wealth
and fame to these men, and he would be
an ingrate if he were not amenable to
their desires and influence. And Mr.
Villard is out for Cleveland because
Cleveland agrees entirely with him in
advocacy of the single gold standard.
Under monometallism ; with the enor
mous expansion of the world's business
and the -inevitable contraction of the
gold supply ; the foreign holderof Amer
ican railway and other! bonds could
wring more out of the producers of thia
country than could be wrung under the
double standard. .
In speaking these truths we desire not
to be misunderstood. Since gold was
received in exchange for these bonds,
gold should certainly be paid in return
Right and fairness demand that. At
the same time, however, the American
people have the right to enlarge their
circulating medium by the adoption of
bimetal ism upon some safe standard
That right has been antagonized by
Cleveland and Villard, two men who
stand as the arch foes of the double
standard ; who want a contraction of the
world's supply of money in order that
the foreign bondholders may get the
most possible out of the corner they are
attempting to drive in the money sup
ply of the world. Every man who votes
for the democratic ticket in the state
and the nation, votes as the foreign
bondholders would direct. We believe
that a majority of the voters will resent
this foreign corporation interference with
their politics.

The I'hiladelpBla Lawyer.
Boston Times. Wayne Macveigh is
brilliant orator and ranks at the top
the Pennsylvania bar. He has been
republican, but has for years been
kicker, because some other republicans,
bis relatives by .marriage too, didn't
manage republican politics in the Key
stone state too suit his likes and am
bitions. ,Hehasa record as an open-
letter writer, in which he crossed pens
with Ben Butler and held his own. But
since be has come out for Cleveland he
has run afoul of Patrick Egan, American
Minister to Chili, and they are having
letter writing contest in the public
press in which tne little Irishman is
scientifically taking off in sections the
aristocratic hide of the Philadelphia
lawyer. - .
Was It Wolfe?.
The Dufur Dispatch is informed that
men working on tne uiear creeK survey
fcsaw at a distance some object that soon
dodged into the brush out of sight
'Thinking it a bear, they sent the dogs
in, and were surprised wnen tney drove
a man from concealment. The stranger
gave no straight account of himself, bat
was allowed to go his way toward Wa
pinitia. The following night a horse
belonging to J. P. Abbott,- who lives
just at the edge of the timber was stolen.
As that ia the route that Wolfe, the
murderer, is supposed to have taken, it
probably him. A reward of $250
would soon land him."
There seems to be a well grounded
suspicion that Wolfe has come into this
country via the Barlow road. The fugi
tive ia the murderer of an East Portland
lady, Misa Birdie Morton, whose death
will cause the search for the murderer to
be pushed with greater vigor than be
fore. Wolfe ia five feet eight inches tall,
weighs 165 pounds, has dark hair, eyes
and mustache, and a very prominent
nose. He wore a blue coat, with brown
velvet collar, a stiff black hat, and Mc
intosh overcoat. He was last seen in
the John Day country, and was then on
horseback. People who know anything
regarding the whereabouts of a young
man of thia description are requested to
report at the sheriff's office.
