The Weekly Ghroniele.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF WASCO COUNTY.
Frof. T. L. Washburne, of the ex peri
jaent station of the state agricultural
college at Corval lis states that, during
the season just passed, they have saved
at least 85 per cent, of the apples with
three or four sprayings. Twenty cents
per tree for old and full grown trees will
overthe expense of spraying for the
season. By this it is seen that the ex
pense of spraying is really nothing. In
this town today a bushel of apples free
from the codlin moth will sell for twenty
ents more a bushel than in which the
odlin has done his work. The differ
ence on one bushel of apples will pay
the expense of spraying the entire tree
through the season. Onr fruit growers
aauet adopt this means of extermination
f the pest or onr market must be sup
plied from some other territory. Hund
reds of apple trees can be found in this
onnty on which the entire crop has been
destroyed by the codlin moth. Another
method of killing them is to tie a band
around the tree, leaving loose flaps un
der which' they will congregate, and oc
casionally remove the band and kill the
pests gathered there. This is quite
bighly recommended and is a simple
treatment.
It is said that dull times throughout
the Hawaiian islands is having its effect,
and the laboring classes and those be
longing to the pauper element are fast
leaving Honolulu and other ports. This
fact is noted especially in the case of the
Japanese, and those who are leaving the
islands are coming to this coast. The
barkentine Discovery, arrived at San
Francisco yesterday from Honolulu",
with 42 Japanese immigrants and a car-
eo of suear. The Japanese belong to
the laboring class, and left the island on
account of the dull times. All of them
possibly have enough money to procure
food and lodgings for a week or two,
which will allow them to pass the immi
gration commissioners, as they cannot
be declared paupers, in consequence,
and are entitled to land. The Japanese
forced the Portuguese out of Honolulu
and other portions of the islands,
and every one of the latter who left
came to this coast. The Japanese are
now forced out Dy reason 01 uunese
competition, and San Francisco contin
tinues to receive them.
The London Finance News yesterday
aays the long expected boom in American
railroad shares may come at any time.
American speculators, it declares, have
ot yet grasped the potential sources of
traffic expansion that will be afforded by
the Columbian exposition. There is
aothing extravagant in the estimate that
1350,000,000 of foreign money will be
Jcft in America as a harvest of the expo
rition. The Americans will be literally
buried with money seeking investment.
The New York Post London dispatch
ays settlement was made yesterday,
facilitated by abundant money at 2 per
- oent. Excitement of the markets is
cnfined to Sooth Africa. The English
speculative public is still lethargic.
Thanksgiving day will be observed
just as though there had been no elec
tion. The democrats will be thankful
because they have won, and the repub
licans can be thankful because they have
brought peace out of war, solvency out
of bankruptcy, and prosperity out of
ruin.
" The-Germans are introducing coolie
labor into east Africa, whereupon the
Salt 4 Lake Tribune says that as the
years go by the Chinese become more
and more a terror to thoughtful men, as
no other race can compete with them.
In that case it is a mere question of time
when the whole world becomes China
ized. ' Perhaps the creator knows what
he is about and that the march of coolies
into Africa will do more for civilisation
than the missionaries of Europe and
America. It is possible that a blending
of Mongolian 'and African may redeem
the dark continent.
TWO XBW FICTCHE8.
What
U
The United States war ship Alliance
has been sent to Samoa; the depart
ment deeming the situation there more
urgent than that in Honolulu at the
present time. The Ranger, now at San
Francisco, will be immediately fitted out
for service in Samoa.
The report comes that General Master
"Workman Powderly will retire from the
headship of the Knights of Labor and
urges the name of Lecturer Wright as
his successor. It will hardly be denied
by any one who has met the two men
that Wright has a much superior mind
and a great deal wider range of informa
'ion than Powderly. His ability to
hold together and re-build an organiza
tion composed of so many perplexing
elements as the Knights of Labor is an
other question. Powderly, however,
has been too tenacious in holding to the
master workmanship of the order in the
past for any great confidence to be placed
in the rumor.
Salt Lake latter day saints are having
trouble over the escheated personal
property of the Mormon church,
amounting to about $750,000. Last
week the master in chancery ruled that
this should go to the public schools.
The conrt overruled the order yesterday
nd says the money should go to
charitable and benevolent uses of the
Mormon church, or for the repair of
places of worship of said church, and
appoints Leonard G. Harry, Mormon, as
trustee to carry out the purpose to
which the decision devotes the funds,
with a bond of $500,000. United States
Attorney Varian gave notice of an appeal
to the United States supreme court.
The recent election has demonstrated
the advisability of changing the election
law in some particulars. An effort
should be made to alter the law so that
the counting of the returns will not be
such slow and wearisome work. New
York has the Australian system, yet we
were given the returns from that state
hours before, we got them from a single
precinct in Washington. This prompt
work is accomplished by having a sepa
rate set of officers to count the ballots as
they are cast on election day.
The Palouse Gazette estimates that
not more than $300,000 has been brought
into Whitman county this fall by the
ale of grain, against $1,000,000 received
at this time last year. This is undoubt
edly due to the low prices obtaining at
present. The total receipts at Colfax
this season are something over 1,000,000
bushels and it is expected that at least
500,000 more will be received.
Here is a broken record after the
"Paddy's hoist" stvle, which should be
continued. During October only 4,691
steerage passengers landed at this port,
the lowest number since 1877. In the
same month of 1S91 there were 36,798.
Jerry Simpson was so much absorbed
in boosting the democracy into power
that he fell down himself. Jerry can
now take off his socks and get back to
the firt principles of statesmanship.
The Willamette in said to be shoaling
below the city of Portland. Pilots claim
that this is tine to the dumping of refuse
in the river from the wharves and warehouses.
A fish hatcherv for the purpose of
breeding brook, rainbow and speckled
trout is to be established in the Galhttin
valley. It will have a capacity of 1 .00ti,-
000 fish each year. ;
The visible supply of wheat in New
"York today is reported to be 2,4S8,000
bushels over what it was a week ago to
day. There is a decrease of 16,000
bushels of rye, and 60,000 bushels of
oats. Corn has fallen off 168,000
bushels. Barley has increased 579,000
bushels.
The stockmen of eastern Washington
have no cause for complaint this fall says
the Review. Their cattle are in great
demand at good prices, and a great deal
of money is accordingly flowing into that
section. Not so here as to prices.
An attempt will be made to ran the
steamer Nelson on the upper Columbia
-this season and her hall is to be covered
with iron to protect it from the ice.

The members claim they bare perfected

THIRD PARTY BIRTHS A XU
DEATHS.
Naturally enough General Weaver
overestimates the importance and influ
ence of the political party of which he is
the nominal head. He is sincere per
haps in his belief that it is destined to
displace one or other of the two great
political parties, or at any rate to re
main a permanent factor in the political
life of the nation, thereby making future
political contests triangular in charac
ter. The history of the third parties in
our country during the last century
rudely dispels such an illusion. The
people's party is merely one of many
third parties that have sprung np in a
night and vanished in a day. Following
is a partial list of them, from the begin
ning of the present century :
The Clinton democracy, born in 1S12,
died the same year.
The anti-Masonic party, born in 1826,
and though such men as Seward, Fill
more, Weed, Clay and Wirt were iden
tified with it, its existence ceased in
1832.
The liberal party, born in 1840, died
in 1844.
The free soil party, born in 1848, died
in 1352.
The southern states right party, born
in 1852, died the same year.
The American or know-nothing party,
born in 18o6, died in 1860.
The liberal republican party, the tem
perance party and the labor reform
party were all born in 1872 and died the
same year.
The American national party was
born in 1S75 and died in 1880.
The prohibition party, as a national
party, was born in 1876, and has been
dying ever since.
The national liberal party was born in
1877, and died the same year.
The national party was born in 1878,
and died the same year.
The greenback labor party, upon
whose ticket Gen. Weaver first sought
the presidency, was born in 1882, and
passed away so quietly that the exact
date of its death is not positively known.
Since 1882 probably a dozen different
parties, more or less tinctured with
socialism, have flourished for short per
iods of time. The people's party is the
last and greatest of these. It reached
its maximum proportions in 1890, and
has been on the decline ever since.
Within another two years, it too, will
probably have breathed its last, and an
other batch of third parties will spring
up from its shattered remains, each
bearing certain family resemblances,
each made up chiefly of chronic kickers,
sentimentalists and certain well-meaning
people who have been led into polit
ical error by the calamity shriekers with
Gen. Weaver at the head of each of these
parties in turn, seeking office.
the Science of Photography
Doing For Op en BWer.
Pictures are an attraction which can
not be overcome. It has become the
universal custom, when one wishes to
draw, in any line, to adopt a system of
illustrations; and the more artistic and
elegant the designs produced, the greater
the attraction . and its consequent bene
fits. From Astoria to Utah there have
been this year models of beauty and
finish innumerable, to be admired while
the admirer perused comments accom
panying which "speak louder than
words,' to form desirable impressions
of the subjects treated.
Of such as these are two handsome
photographic views laid on our table
this week with the compliments of Mr.
Linus Hubbard, Thu Dalles.
The first of these photos, is 11x14
inches in size, and contains a view of the
steamer Regulator at The Dalles wharf
'taking on wheat. It is a waterscope
and a landscape together, taking in the
Columbia from the ferry landing to
point about 14 miles above, including
Grand Dalles, from the old Rockland
court house to the new factory building
just completed. The top title to the
card reads as follows :
For an open river from the Inland
Empire to the sea.
Shipping wheat from The Dalles, Or.
to Liverpool, England. All water route,

and Clipper ships via. Astoria and Cape

Under the photo, is the following

The second photo is 10x12 inches in
size and presents a similar view, of the
same steamer loading wool for Boston,
by the all water route, steamers Regula
tor and Dalles City, and ship Tillie E.
Starbuck, via. Astoria and Cape Horn.
The water transportation route is repre
rented on one side of the photo, at 14,
800 miles, the freight per ton $25, and
the time three months, with the follow
ing comment : "After completion of the
cascade locks this rate will be reduced
by avoiding two handlings at the present
portage Tailway."
On the opposite side of the photo the
railroad transportation, Union Pacific
system, from The Dalles to Bos
ton, is given; distance 8,262 miles,
freight $52, time one month.
Under the photo is' the following:
"After completion of the cascade locks,
wool, wheat, stock, minerals and fruit,
! and all the products of the Inland Em
pire will command full market values.
Vote for no man for senate or congress,
who will not work for an open Columbia
river."
Twenty years hence such as these pic
tures are will be treasured in the homes
of Inland Empire millionaires yet to be,
who will glance back with an unex
plainable wonder that the scenes of the
present day were ever permitted to exist
for a single year as a menace to the de
velopment of the most fertile and mild
tempered region of limitless resources
that the good Lord ever permitted the
sun to shine upon. Then the true in
wardness of the cloven footed policy now
in vogue here will be clearly understood.
But where will Hubbard be? With us
and similar co-laborere, perhaps, on the
way to the poorhouse.
