j Mr. O. Lownsdale w rites to the Orego
I niau from I.afavette. to make some self-
i surprise the remarks of Mr. L'pton crit-
iciinz ttie Loon horticultural lull. Mt.
ridden and diseased condition, that it
would Ik' the best thing if they were dug
up and burned, root and branch. The
man who keeps a clean orchard has
nothing to fear from a stringent law
against fruit pests. All others should
be compelled to abate the nuisances
they maintain. It would be simple jus
tice to those who have planted large or
chards and who njo striving to kiep
them in a healthv condition were these
t-ridden hotbeds put out of existence
And it would entail little loss on anv
individual; for of what use are the old
lousy orchards about which Mr. Fpton
is so solii itous?
They are worth simply what they
would bring for firewood, and wood is
very cheap in the country. If Mr. L'p
ton is a horticulturist he knows that
from a financial view-point such or
chards are utterly valueless, us they pro
duce absolutely no sound fruit. They
are intolerably und injurious nuisances
that render impotent the efforts of ener
getic planter w ho strive to keep their
orchards on a healthy and profitable
basis. The remark of philanthropic
Ford that the farmers should be pro
tected from "these horticultural fellows"
was characteristically cheap. Farmers
have no contentions w ith fruit-growers,
and have nothing to fear from them.
"These horticultural fellows" are the
leading fruit-growers of the state. They
are the men who are striving to build up
an industry which will shortly rank
every other industry in the state, and
w hich it is tho duty of the state to foster.
The millions of trees that will come
into hearing within the next five years
In Oregon will add millions of dollars
to the product of the state. It would
seem, then, that the planters of new
and clean orchards, who comprise nine
tenthaof tho fruit-growers of the state,
are entitled to some consideration. As
a fruit grower havinga young orchard of
;iiK) acres, which I wish to preserve in a
healthy condition, 1 know that I speak
the eentiments of the horticulturists
w hen I ask a recognition of their right
to a judicious protection of their in

Svi.km, Feb. :t. The li'iiiso today I
passed a ombined repe d of thi mort- '
gai;il tax law ami deduction for indebted- ;
lies clause, ami, with the poll oi the,
Semite previously printe I, it is uudoubt- ,
edly ilea'incd to go to the governor.
The question was taken up about three!
o'clock, I.awtou's fuuou lull having i
lccn reached for its third reading.
Ford moved to recommit for the pnrpow ;
of having the committee strike out nil '
provision repealing tho mortgage tax j
lawr. Nlckell and others asked fo a call i
of the house. Thi wasordered, and the j
absentees were duly rounded in, except
ing Ionian, and Frown of Douglas, who
were absent on tick leave. The elfect
was practically a pair, as Brown opposes
and In man favors the repeal. After
Ford's motion to recommit hud lieen
voted down by a vote of '.'-t to 34, the
vote on the bill was promptly reached,
and resulted:
Ayes: Kelts, Iiishop, Frown, of Mor
row', Buxton, (a.impbell, Chandler,
Coon, Currau, Duncan, Durham, (ieer,
of Clackamas, (ieer, of Marion, Gill,
Goodrich, Gowan, Gullixson, Hohbs,
Jeffreys, King, Lawton, Layman, Man
ley, Mays, Merrill, .Myers, Northup,
Ormsby, Paxton, Hussell, Stone, Toner,

Cooper, Cornelius, Daly, Day, Elmore,
Ford, Houck, l.amson, Maloney, Mi"
Fwan, Merritt, Miller, Myer, Nickel!,
Sheridan, Staat. L'pton, Wilkins, Wil
kinson 'i'i. I'rown, of Douglas, and
In man were absent.
The vote developed several interesting
feature. Gowan and King, who had
originally favored Ford's motion to re
commit, now supported the combined
repeal, showing that they would have
preferred to repeal the exemption clause
separately. During tho vote some ex
planations were made. Ford voted
against the bill, he said, because, while
lie favored abolishing deductions for in
debtedness, he was opposed to repealing
the mortgage tax law, which would deny
to taxation one-sixth of the assessable
property in Marion' county. Geer said
he thought the experiment was worth
trying, as things could not be worse.
His remarks were very felicitous and
brought out quite a burst of applause.
Northup thought the time for the law's
going into effect was too soon, as the
people should 1 allowed to adjust
themselves to the new conditions; but
as an amendment of nch purport had
been voted down in the committee of the
whole he should have to vote for the
measure in its present form, believing it
the best available. Another interesting
thing is that three members of the pres
ent house were members in 1882 and
helped to frame the mortgage tax law.
They were Keady, Ford and Nichols.
Keady and Nichols now vote to repeal
it, and Ford to continue it.
l'rrsIilcnt'M Message.
On Thursday President Harrison sent
to the house a message dealing with the
importation of foreign goods to the
t'nited States across the Canadian bor
der under consular seal. The president
discussed at length the treaty obliga
tions which affect the subject growing
out of the provisions of article 'MJ, treaty
of Washington, and arrives at the con
clusion that article 2!, treaty of Wash
ington, has been abrogated, and even if in
force there is no law extant toexecute it.
When in force the treaty imposed no
obligation upon the L'nited States to use
such a concession as to transmit by way
of Canada and no limitation upon the
powers of the T'nited States in dealing
w ith merchandise imported for the use
of our citizens through Canadian ports,
or Hissing from one place to another
through Camilla iiiou the arrival of such
merchandise at our border.
Therefore, treaty or no treaty, the
.question of sealing cars containing such
merchandise and the treatment of such
scaled cars w hen they cross our liorder
is, and always has been, one to lie set
tled by our laws according to our con
venience mid our interests as we see
them. That such practice is inconsist
ent with the safety of the revenue stat
utes relating to tho transportation of
merchandise between the United Stales
and Kritish jKisessions should lie subject
to revision.
I The treasury regulations hail given
: these laws a construction and scope the
president did not think was colitein
i plated by congress. A policy adapted
to the new condition growing in part
, out of the construction oi the Canadian
j Pacific railroad should be declared and
I busincs placed Ukiii a basis more just
1 to our people and to our transportation

Conductor Fowler came in from the
east this forenoon with a train bringing
mails, express and passengers, the tirst
we have had in The Dalles from that
direction since 3 u. m. Ft iday. As no
trains have reached Tho Dalles from the
west since 11:40 p.m. of the 2d, Con
ductor Fowler's train turned back thia
afternoon, and those of his passengers
west-bound were left here to await
future developments. The blockade
may uovv be said to be on again, waiting
for the Chinook breezes to open tho out
side world to the Inland Empire:
"I am here to stay." exclaimed the snow,
"At all complaints I scoff!"
But the Chinook breezes sighed soft nml
low, "Come off!'

Yesterday morning members of the
Imperial Kjistdt could be seen on all the
principal streets hurrying with pallid
faces and bated breath in the direction
of the palace of Sdijabtstadt. In a few
minutes the palace was filled to over
flowing with the anxious populace. It
was apparent to the most indmerent
that some vital question was to be
sprung upon the house. The audience
were so quiet you could have heard a
pin drop. Prince Kabjisitikyxztstyt
arose, and as the tirst sentence passed
his lips a mighty shout went. up. It
was Paris Panels they wanted. Herrin
makes them. Gallery Jer the post-
