amid with much emphaaia and no little
irritation, that there waa absolutely no

whether 1 will or not. As m matter of
tact, I have not made np my mind."
Senator Carlisle's friends are doing their
wtmoat to induce him to accept the presi
dent's offer. They go so far as to say
that if he were to leave the senate to ac
cept a portfolio be might safely count on
being returned to the senate at the close
ei the administration. Those who know
Carlisle best declare that if he were to
leave the senate he would not allow bis
accessor to be hampered by any such

The Boeeborg Plain dealer favors the
bonding of county debts, but does not
explain how to get around the constitu
tional prohibition of incurring more than
$5,000 indebtedness. It says: "It ia
ejuite likely that a bill allowing the dif
ferent counties to bond their floating
Indebtedness will be passed by the legis
lature this winter. A petition to that
Beet ia being circulated in Klamath
sad Lake counties, while several of the
Willamette-valley counties are also con
sidering thequestion. A general law will
aw doubt provide that no bonds shall be
sold at lees than par, and will therefore
wrere a good thing, inasmuch as it will
have a tendency to curb the sharpers
who are desirous of making a com

aaaay gentlemen with whom be was
wrought into close relation during the
recent campaign. He had a long inter
view with Cleveland, and discussed the
political situation. Ever since it be
came apparent that there would be eon
tests in some of the western states over
a control of the legislatures and election
f senators, Harrity has been giving
special attention to the matter, and waa
able to report pi egress favorably to the
resident-elect and bis friends. All his
advices indicate that the senators from
Wyoming, Montana and California will
awrtsialy be democrats, thus giving the
dninucists forty-four senators, which,
with the casting vote of the vice-preai-eieot,
will enable them to organise that
body when it meets in March.
Sot much hope ia encouraged for judi

vies, or tbeir constituents have. Bome
f the young and new members glibly
walk of passing a new assessment and

son that this is a big question. There
are more than two sides to it. There
awe ninety sidee. The job is to get tbem
together. It look like deductions for
indebtedness would at least be done
way with, but tbe pros pert was as
Wight two years ago. And then there
is the road law or tbe road laws, for
there are many of tbem. Eat this great
said ainuoua tangle will probably not be

be many road bills, no doubt, such as
they are, and, of coarse, parts of them
will be passed. The conservative body

JTiTr HORTICVLTPKISTS.
At the annual meeting of the State
Horticultural society, which was held
ia Portland this week, many subjects of
great interest to trait growers were die
coated. Ous of the most important
matters which came up for consideration
was that pertaining to state legislation.
The report of this committee was heard
aad a number of recommendations to
the legislature submitted to the society
lar action. Two bills providing for ths
better protection against Infectious
traits were read, aud, upon motion, it
was derided to submit tbsa to ths leg
islature daring the prewat session.
There are two bills, one :
"ia act to preveut the sals, gift, or
distribution, planting and transporta
tion of Infected fruits or trees, plants,
cuttings, grafts, seeds, scions or other
material, and to prescribe penalties
therefor." Tbe bill specifies the varie
ties of fruits, etc., provides for the pun
ishment of any person acting contrary
to the law. Section 3 of the bill pro
vides that "fruit of any kind, all trees,
pleats, cuttings, graft, buds, seeds,
pita, scions or other transportable male
rial of any klndjgrown in any foreign
country, or in any of the Uuited Btatea
er territories, or in the stale of Oregon,
infested by any insect or insects or their
germs, or by any fungi, blight or other
diseases known to be injurious to fruit
or fruit trees, or to other trees and lia
ble to spread contagion, is hereby pro
hibited from being offered for sale, gift,
distribution, planting or transportation,
ntii the same shall be thoroughly dis
infected in soch manner as msy be re
quired by the state board of horticulture
and to the satisfaction of some member
thereof or of au inspector of fruit pests."
The power vested in the state board to
act in such matters is provided for in
"An act to define certain powers snd
duties of the state board of horticulture,
to amend an act entitled 'An act to cre
ate a state board of horticulture,' and to
appropriate money therefor." The bill
provides for ths creation of power in the
state board of horticulture to appoint an
"inspector of fruit pests," his term of
office, salary, duties, etc.; provide for
the dinecnination of knowledge con
cerning contagions diseases affecting
fruit by tbe L'euance of horticultural lit
erature at the expense of the state by
the society; vesting the society or its
authorized agent with power to enforce
quarantine aguinot any inierted orchard,
nursery, etc. ; and contains a number of
provisions for the enforcement of the
law, the salaries of the inspector and
commissioner, and an tn.Tease of the
state appropriations.
Interest in tbe subject of road im- j
provement shows no. signs of declining-; (
on the contrary, it appears to be ou the j
increase everywhere. The work f the!
national league of good roads is begin-1
ning to bear fruit. Organisations are
being perfected throughout tbe several
slates, the interest of prominent men is
being enlisted oa ttie subject, and in a
variety of ways information bearing on
the subject, is being disseminated. In
the meantime stats and local organisa
tions ere doing their share of the work,
and that community which does not
catch on will be one of veritable "moes
backs" in future.
It is sdmitted that Oregon has tbe
poorest, most absurd, most unjust aa
sessment system in existence. We hope
that our present legislature will com
pletely knock it out, says tbe tVallowa
Chieftaia, and enact a new law that
will cause all property to be assessed at
its true cash value to pav for the protec
tion its owner enjoys. We also hope
that the law will be an plain that such
a senseless budy aa a "board of equalisa
tion" will be unnecessary, and that
there will be no loop-bole made for tbe.
wealthy to escape taxation by "exemp
tion for indebtedness."
What is being done towards organising
a bureau of information in Tbe Dalles?
Within a month past Ths Chbokiclb
bss answered an average of twenty rails
per week for information. We do the
best we can, but submit the proposition
tbst is unfair to tax any one person or
company to such an extent. People
east, south, and even in Washington
and California are asking about The
Dalles. Tbey are interested in knowing
what we have herein the way of mineral,
agricultural and fruit land, and ask
dosens of questions about ths country
which show what can be done by
properly answering these inquiries for
locations.
Tbe capital Journal, of Salem, anotine
t
. front Ths Chbokicis on the subject of
corporation influences at work against
j an open Columbia river, adds: "Tbe
way to secure a portage railway by tbe
dale at tbe dalles ia to elect pronounced
open river men to the positions of re
sponsibility. Tbe presidency of tbe sen
ate should go lo a senator who is on rec
ord for that enterprise, who voted for it
before, and who ia for open rivers on
general principles. Wa have often em
phasised this fact and the battle for open
rivers had better be fought at tbe open-
j ing of tbe session." Bo far as the sens to
is eooeerned it could have done no bettor
'than it did to elect Hon. C. W. Fulton,
j of Clatsop. His record on this subject is
j established. He ia a gentleman of honor
t and integrity. He baa the courage and
;the ability to propose and carry out
j what is rlrht lor the peopls. It Is to
. such men to whom we look for able sup-
port of tbe measure.
Thev are playlat root ball still In sow
of the smaller towns. The spirit of
edventuie carries some men to extremes.
The Capital Journal thinks that the
convict contract labor schems is to drop
onto ths legislature about the eleventh
hour with a bill to secure their services
at thirty cento a day.
The various gentlemen who are about
to get themselves elected to the United
Plates senate by state legislatures are
rated higher, as a rule, by the commer
cial agencies than thoy are by fame.
tiov. Pennoyer adopts ths recoiuwen
dstlon of Ths Chmohiclb, for a stale in
heritance tax law. This was ths only
paper in the state to advocate this
measure.
Cmall pox has broken out among ths
natives in Alaska, aad it is feared it will
become epidemic. Tbe Puget sound
board of health will quarantine against
Alaskan porta until all danger of conta
gion is past.
Wagon roads in Montana seem to be
ia aa poor condition as are thoss of this
state. In some sections It Is said that
trade is seriously affected at present by
the bad roads, and tbe question will
probably be brought before the legisla
ture now in session.
Tbe Idaho legislature this winter will
hardly be so exciting ss the preceding
session, when the Gem of the Moun
tains stocksd np with an over supply of
United States senators. Nevertheless
Gov. McConnell may be relied npon to
keep the boys from going to slsep.
The Great Northern idea of running a
railroad suits the people of Spokane very
well. President Hill proposes not only
to reduce rates to terminals so as lo
meet the rates of carriers by the sea, but
to grade down rales to iniermedible
points, and give them rates lower thaa
terminal schedules provide.
The silver men who voted to defeat
Harrison will get very little comfort
from Cleveland's administration. John
(i. Carlisle, who is expected to be sec
retary of the treasury, says the country
has enough silver now, and be is ia
favor of stopping its coinage.
The News slates that George McAllis
ter, owner of the Mayflower mine, Ocb
oco, says that the tunnel has now pene
trated over 200 feet into the bedrock and
the proepect is better as tbey advance.
Mr. McAllister thinks that before another
10O feet of tunnel ia completed thev
ill have struck the main ledge
if the Ochoco mining district.
It is diflirult to believe that an or
iranized attempt will be made to defeat
au appropriation for an open river at
the mming session of the legislature.
Hut ae are assured, says tbe Wallows
Chieftain, that a powerful lobby witn
plenty of money will be at Salem during
the session for -such a purpose. Tbe
prevs of Eastern Oreguo will now keep
esses on the votec of members ea this
important question.
The Congressional Record of the 11th,
gives Henstor Mitchell's discussion in
support of his joint resolution proposing
aa amendment to the constitution pro
viding fur the election of senators by the
votes of tbe qualified electors of the
statse. This joint resolution is endorsed
by tbe committee on privileges and
lections and is undoubtedly strong in
the senate, but it is hardly to be as
sumed that it can be pasasd during tbe
limited time of tbe present session.
Gov. Peanoyer'e message is not very
short, aa proposed ; but it is in some
respects "sweet."
It is a sample of the bitter irony of
fate that Mr. W. C. Whitney, who, so to
speak, can have first of tbe pickings,
doesn't seem to care a thimble whether
be gets soy or not.
Missouri is thinking of following in
Montana's footstep with a status made

aa outbreak of jealousy among ths prime
doone of comic opera.
Twenty Astoria saloon keepers, who
were presented with bibles at t'2S each,
c. o. d. by express, want to send the
joker to the penitentiary, alleging that
he is altogether too practical.
There is a dispute over the conduct of
tbe inauguration eeremoniec next
March. It will be remembered that
there was a similar dispute over these
ceremonies on the 8th ef last Xovember.
Gen. Ben Butler died at bis home in
Washington city yesterday. Ilia death
created an immense surprise, as it was
not even known be was ailing any more
than any man who bad lived and
labored so long would.
