From the day when the extroidinary session of the Fifty-third congress com menced there have been efforts looking to compromise i,n the matter of financial legislation, but until now the efforts had every appearance of ineffectiveness and the proposition lacked earnest support, but it feems a though the movement toward compromise had assumed defi nite sha.e. Men who are anxious for legislation insist that both the intense gold and silver men will have to sur render a little of that for which they contend or the session will be revuUless. The proposition likely to be adopted if frank expressions of opinion by legisla tors of prominence have any value will be far from satisfactory to those who represent the silver interests, but it will be very much better for them than the mere unconditional repeal of the silver purchase law of 1S90. It seems as Under a "paternal" government like Germany, where every girl In domestic service is compelled to have her little book, under the surveillance of the po lice, showing where she has been em ployed and how long she stays in each place, with the necessity, too, of proving by this book, for a new employer, a competent character or ctnerwise, the following old aire insurance, said to have been ordered by the emperor three years ago, cau liecome a pojsibi'ity : Once week the mistress pastes in the little black book of the German maid servant a stamp of low denomination about five cents which is bought from the govern ment. When the maid fulls ill or grows old the government wili redeem these stamps, thus making a small fund for sickness or old aire. A Miss Shelby of Portland has been elected to touch the button at the launch of the war ship Oregon. The Telegram says it is the most fitting choice that could be made, as Mias Shelby is the granddaughter of the lute Geo. Lane, etc. What about the Aber nethys, the Nesmitli9 and a host of others, who pioneered to the great Pa cific coast in lS4:i, '44 and No those who braved, blazed and hewed out the great state of Oregon? We congratu late Miss Shelby, a very estimable lady, upon the honor conferred by the au thorities, but we must, nevertheless, not forget that there were those who planted the country's banner on these shores long before 1S4!), whose names are dearer to old Oregoniaus than that of the hero of Buena Vista. bly. lie says: If all the murderer go straight to Abraham'! bosom, the Astoria agent of the Lord ay they will, then the editor propose to immigrate to the other place. If a man mutt lire with Chinamen in this world and with murderer in the next, paradise is not what it is cracked up to be. If a mur derer goes straight from the gallows to Heaven what inducement I there for an editor to try and be honest. If man cau murder Id wife in this world and wear white robes in the next, and have mansion with all the modern improve ments, the sooner decent people buy linen dusters for the next world the better. If all the murderer go to Heaven and the lawyers to hell, how is a lawyer going to make a living? The above questions are respectfully referred to the Presbyterian Synod that bounced Priggs. We want to know something ahout this before we invest our money in the next world. Though the money necessarily ex pended in keeping our rock crusher busy would return tenfold, it is perhaps at this time too great a burden to keep it employed indefinitely There is no good reason why the general gov ernment should not make roadmakiug the object of appropriations. Congress appropriates millions every year to im prove rivers and harbors and the benefit thereby is enioved bv but a small nuui- though an agreement will be reached by j ber iu comparison to those benefitted bv which the purchase of silver will be sus- mvvi ma,u Th v.rnmnt .h.mM f. vor navigation water. bv land as well as bv pended until all the silver now in the vaults of the treasury department has been coined, and when that has been accomplished (it will take something like eight Tears to do it at the rate of $1,500,000 a month) the purchase of sil ver is to be resumed at the rate of 2,000, 000 ounces per month until the total silver currency in the country is S0O, 000,000. The compromise also provides that there shall lie immediately a gold bond isue to the ex'ent of $200,000,000, and the result will, it is claimed, be a .sufficiency of both metals. That the -administration will agree, in advance of !cgitiauve action, to such a compromise is not at till likely, for tiie president has declared with all necessary emphasis his .desire to have this session do nothing but repeal unconditionally the obnox ious siiver purchase act. But if such a . vm promise came to him with the ap- -JvWkJ 0f both houses he would undoubt-1 eign-born citizens, and in this estimate Tiik Chkosici.Il has had occasion in the past to warn the people that forest fires are responsible for the diminution of the rainfall. Confirmation comes to day in the shape of "Forest Influences," printed by the department of agricul ture and kindly mailed to us, compris ing 00 pages of valuable mutter. Speuking of the influence of forests upon water conditions it says: "In conse quence of deforestation, evaporation from the soil is augmented and acceler ated, resulting in unfavorable condi tions of soil humidity and affecting un favorably the size and continuity of springs. The influence of forest cover ujHjn the flow of springs is due to this reduced evaporation as well as to the fact that by the protecting forest cover the soil is kept granular and allows more water to penetrate and percolate than would otherwise. In this connec tion, however, it is the condition of the forest floor that is of greatest import ance. Where the litter and humus mold is burned up, as in many, if not most of our mountain forests, this favor able influence is largely destroyed, al though the trees are still standing." THE FAIR OPENS. A riiis Llat of atahlliHe Cure, J. Win the Uuartar Mil tah. The fifth annual meeting of the Sec ond district fair began today. The wea ther, which has been rainy and threat ening for seveal days, cleared away and the su if. shone in a fairly decent manner. The track was In a superb condition, the rain having made It solid, and the upper crust being dried by this morning' sun shine. The attendance was not large in fact it was exceedingly small, there being at a safe estimate not over one hundred and fifty on the gr. U. Tomorrow we hope for better.

He is Oregon-raised, learned his trade when the old hand press was the order in the state, and is a credit to the newspaper fraternity. Portland Daily Dispatch. ediy sign the bill. That a compromise like that outlined would go through the house of representatives is certain ; that it will go through the senate is quite probable. Here is a gratifying "item of news" to Oregoniaus: The mast of the Engh&h loop yacht Valkyrie was made from an Oregon pine tree. The steamship companies have ad vanced rate on Chinese passengers from f:V to $41, and doubtless wish they would hurry up with that Geary law. The Welcome ays : If there is any way on earth or in the IT. 8. to choke off this senatorial yelping, let 'em have it in heroic dose. Give 'em cloture or any other gag. Shot off their wind and still their jaws. Voting is just the panacea this great country is a-iqui rul ing for. Breckinridge' tones were never mel lower nor more magnetic, hi pictur esque periods rolled out with rythmic plentitude, his white locks tossed above Hashing blue eyes. The federal elec tions bill was a congenial subject to him, and he had a greater incentive to ( distinguish himself than usual, because there were strata of coldness through While it would be a good thing to dis-1 the audience. In the beginning of his pense with a share of our Chinese popu-! oration Mr. Breckinridge attempted to lation.it would tie wiser to adopt a J dispose in short order of Representative preventative measure whereby our ports ; Johnson.

McClare'i Magazine for October will be of especial interest to member of the W. C. T. V., for it contain four pictures of Miss Frances E. Willard, showing this distinguished lady at four periods of her life. The beautiful, serious face of Miss Willard at twenty seems to have been prophetic of her noble and useful career. The Louisiana storm is one of the most deplorable casualties that ever oc curred in our country, only equalled by the tidal wave at Lisbon over a century ago. Two thousand lives is a fearful demand made by angry nature, to say nothing of millions of dollars in prop erty losse. Give Ellis a chance. There are a few papers in the state finding fault with our new representative for not introducing new measures. A greater tronbleis con cerning those laws we already have, and we note Mr. Ellis is endeavoring to remedy one law that will give relief to thousands of settlers. This will be of more practical benefit than any new law he could possibly formulate. Judging from the designs, nothing nlloat on either fresh or salt water will lie able to touch in magnificence the in terior finish of the big North America, as the first boat for the Buffalo-Duluth route will be called. The saloons, the ladies' cabin and the dining room are as fine as the best and most elaborately de signed hotels in New York. There is one staircase that cost f 1,500. The district fair begins While the times are harder many years, the best economy will be to patronize it liberally, both by your presence and in the matter of exhibits. Such action tends to produce an easier feeling, and put money in circulation, and it does not take a large amount to relieve the local stress. If each person hoarded what amount of cash was in hi possession it would produce a con gestion ruinous to everyone's interests. "Shekel" has been adopted into modern slang, and is used to mean money, hire, payment in any sort of currency or coin, but the old Jewish shekel ia really a religious token. On one side it bears the pot of manna, on the other Aaron's rod, budding. The inscriptions are "Shekel of Israel" and "Jerusalem the Holy." It was first coined about 150 years before the birth of Christ, and was worth in silver about 62)i cents. Lieutenant Peary is about the only living American who has escaped the financial stringency. He is sure of his job for two yeais and possibly longer. He has gone where money is not needed and is supplied with clothing and pro visions for a' long siege. He may be pinched before he gets back between two ice floes but otherwise he will get along swimmingly. "As quick as thought" has come to be established in our language as indicat ing the superlative of rapidity, but Mr. Herbert Nichols, in an article on the Psychological Laboratory of Harvard, published in McClure'a Magazine for October, shows that while we are per forming the commonest mental judg ments electricity or light could go half way round the earth. Repeated calls on Attorney Olney to "smash a trust," just as a guarantee of good faith, have not produced results as yet. It is altogether possible that the attorney general does not desire to take any step which may add to the compli cations of a business condition which ia already pretty well disordered.

Kflecte of the NtormOlteervaltla in Trade -Wheat Dropa Vr. Tuesday. Oct. 10. The storm has had a paralyzing effect on business and con sequently trade has been very light and quiet. Some of our merchants are get ting in full and winter goods, which is evidence of an anticipated improvement in the volume of trade to be had. Prices have not changed in anything in the mercantile line. The produce and provision market is fairly steady. Eggs are still firm and scarce. Extra fresh butter has a better inquiry, but quotations have not changed. Vegetables continue to arrive freely, with a downward tendency in some kinds. Fruits, especially dried, have declined and will rule low on account of the abundant fruit product yield during the year. The poultry trade is light, and the of fering is still lighter and prices remain steady at old quotation. The grain market is exceedingly dull, the rains have checked tjje movement, and what has found its way to market ha been put on storage, and but little has been sold. Since last week, a sharp decline has taken place, and 43 to 4( cents per bushel is about the range of prices offered. Eastern advices report a dull market with a disposition to make small purchases for immediate demand. The wool market abroad is more en couraging, from the latest advices re ceived, markets are firmer and a better feeling prevails among manufacturers. Consequently there has been a lively in quiry, although there has been no ad vance in quotations to note. Shlloh's cure, the Great Coiigla and Croup Cure, is for sale by Snipes & Kin ersly. Pocket size contains twenty-five doses, only 2oc. Children lovo it. Hold by Snipes A Kinersly. Hot Stuff second, Rockland Boy third and Siretta last ; time IN'a seconds. It was one of the prettiest race ever run on these grounds ; the horses had a good sturt and each jocky rode to win. We go to press too early to catch tiie second race. " During the forenoon a Ciikonu'i.k re porter made a tour of the pavilion. Although it was early in the day and farmers from out of towu hud not time to arrive, many exhibits were already in place und more continually arriving. The number and quality of the exhibit were surprising. In the northeast end of the pavillion Herrin was buoy arruuging his display which is one deserving of speciut credit. He occupies a spare about 24 feet long by 13 feet high and the wall is lined with several hundred photographs. Above the photographs paintings are to be hung. Mr. Herrin has shown praise worthy efforts towards doing his share to making the fair a success and lias planned his display in an elegant man ner. The quality of his work is excel lent. Xext to Mr Herrin Is the photo graphic display of Earnest Drews, a young ameteur of this city, who shows great (kill in the manner of his work. Ilia (ister has lome very pretty paintings done by herself those especially notice able being a view of Multnomah falls, another of Mill Creek fulls and one of Mt. Hood. The young ludy shows talent, and the combined display is one of the best in the pavilion. Joe Southwell one of Wasco's staunch farmers, has (airly moved his ranch in to the pavilion. A hasty examination of the exhibit showed monstrous pump kins, cabbages that made the table weaken and lieets. He also has a very pretty exhibit of 04 different grasses and some tobacco leaves, together with Jeru salem and broom corn, all grown on his farm. Another good display of grains is by W. J. Davidson of Endersbv. He lias four varieties of wheat and two of outs, besides many different samples of peas, ' meadow grass, etc. ; also three bottles of ' home-made wine. Passing to the fruit displays, the first exhibit noticed was that of Mr. L. A. Sandoz, whose place is on Mill creek. His exhibit comprises sixty-four differ ent varieties of apples, and occupies a table twenty feet long. Mr. Sandoz' ex hibit is very good, and shows to the best advantage Wasco county's siieriority in the line of fruit. He also has a large vegetable display. A. D. Bolton of Boyd has a very cred itable display of apples, pears, pump kins and squash. He has twenty-four varieties of apples, the names of some of them being unknown. There was one particularly choice apple called "late harvest," which is of pure white color and has a delicious flavor. On the middle table Peter Mohr of Hood River has his exhibit. All that has been said of the others can be said of Mr. Mohr. He has thirty-four varie ties of apples, occupying thirty-nine plates, and is one of the chief exhibitors. All the floral displays were not yet completed at the time of this writing. Mrs. S. B. Adams has a very full collec tion of plants. One especially noticea ble was a water hyacinth. Lovers of flowers should oak to see this. This dis play comprised a handsome shrub If that it be called known as wedding bell, which is in bloom all tiie year, also pink oleanders, a century plant, snake cactus, Mexican salvia and other varie ties. Mrs. Marquis and Miss Snipes have also good exhibits ; the former showing among other plants a genuine Canada thistle, and the latter displaying lilies and tube roses. An exhibit of field and garden seeds by H. C. Bateham of Hood River is a very complete collection. He has over! forty varieties. Mr. Bateham also ex-1 hibits big carrots and corn. Mrs. Stroud has eleven varieties of home made jelly, which remind one of Keats' exquisite lino "loosened syrups tinct with cinnamon." Twenty-nine jars of jelly make an ex celient display by Miss Alice Roberts. In the dairy display Mrs. Marquis has fresh dairy butter and sain pies of packed butter. Geo. Snipes and Pete Godfrey have exhibits of butter. That it all looks good is needless to say. Oscar Angol and Joe Southwell have honey combs on exhibition.
