Mrs. Smith French, and Mrs. J. Q. Mack. It is very important that a delegation be sent to Salem to represent our inter ests in the selection of the nsylnm site. This could be done at a very trifl'ng ex pense, and would assure us that nothing would be overlooked.' Tonight is the accepted time, if uch a committee are to tie sent. The matter will admit of no delay. Tin Chbomcle snjgests the name of Ii. F.

The geopraphical position also it favorable to The Dalles from a standpoint of econ omy. Interchanging of patients be tween the two asylums will be constant on account of the different climatic con dition being more favorable to some patient! than others, and the transfer ring of patients from Salem to the new asylum on completion will alone amount to thousands of dollars difference in favor of The Dallet. The fare from Saicin tj The Dallet via the boat com pany is fi.10. From Salem to Pendleton the fare is about 111.50. On 200 patients the difference it over 1,200. Hence the argument that we are not centrally lo cated has co force. The capitalt of nearly all the state are not centrally located of a hii h Oregon itself is one. If there ia any force at all in the argument of geographical location, let it be considered that we hare a vast stretch r.f conntry to the south of us which is tiibutary only to The Dallet.

Tcarhfta a 'alnabla Lmmii to JUanjr of Iba Farinors. There is probably no ogiiculturul question that comes so directly home to the farmers of today at that of feeding wheat to stock and poultry. Will it pay to raise wheat and feed it to animal and poultry? asks a writer in the Ameri can Cultivator, and continues in answer: with wheat so cheap as it i now it it almost impossible for many farmer to make a fuir profit from this industry, although in favored parts of the West and northwest the large farmers claim that even at thit price thev can make a proGt. But thi it not true of thousands of other scattered throughout the Eat and West. Undoubtedly this season has been an exceptional one and price" are lower than will be the rase for tunny yeais again. But the present low prices for the grain are having their beneficial results. Many farmers are feeding their surplus wheat to stock and poultry, who at any other time could not be induced to at tempt this. Thev are learning bv actual experieneo hat nothing else could have taught them. As an illustra tion, one farmer this summer fed his wheat to his poultry, and he is so well pleased w ith the experiment that he as sert that not 70 rents a bushel would J induce him to sell it in the market an other year. lie would feed it to the poultry, for by so doing he realiie at the lowes; estimate f 1 per bushel in the summer time. He now intends to try the fcauie experiment this winter, and he anticipate making 4he wheat pay hiru nearly t- a bushel. Another poultry-raiser has even deigned to buy the wheat direct from hit neighbors at the city market prices simply to feed hit poultry, and the re sults are so good that he it now laying in a stock of wheat for winter feeding Instead of his nsual rations. The fact is, there is do letter food for making the hens lay than wheat, and this may yet be the food that we will give to our poultry. It also antwert the purpose better than the best screened oats. Then we have other farmert feeding their w heat to swine, and here, too, the results are satisfactory. Hogs are high thii year, and the profit it certainly sure to be good. It will return f 1 per bushel to the owner today when fed to hogs, and this it much better than selling it j in the market at current prices. It i estimated that two uarts of wheat j ejnal in feeding value four quarts of oats, and the stock, as a rule, like the wheat better. Now, there is an outlet for wheat that has never been given much attention, and one need not fear that wheat grow ers will have to go ;out of the business. Within a short time poultry-raisers and stock owners are going to buy more wheat for feed, and all the surplus will go in this directfon, relieving the mar ket of the heavy stocks. The market prices will consequently advance, and those who must have tlie ready cash for their wheat will be benefitted in the long run also. Farmers should feed wheat rather than sell it at today't prices. Faik View, Dec. ISth, 1S!3. Eihtou Chbomcle : Knowing that anything of interest to the many readers of Thi Chbomcle it given room in its columns, we will note a few passing events. Owing to the bad condition of the mountain road persons laving business in the city are put to th. inconvenience of going by way of 3-Mile making sev eral miles further. Miss Edna Hall has gone to town to attend school. There was a very pleasant party given Lr Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Obriet at their home Friday evening the 15th inst. Music was furnished by Mr. D. D. Nelson. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, Mr. and Mrs. William Obnst, Mr. and Mrs. George Sherrill, Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Nelson, Miss May Clark, Miss Cannon and Messrs. D. Faneher, D. A. Kelsay, H. Clark, John Obriet, Earnest Hall, W. M. Means, Harry Ohist rand your correspondent. When daylight came we reluctantly separated hoping to come together again in the near future. We learn that Miss Lizzie Nelson of Portland is to spend the holidays with her parenti Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Nelson. Stock of all kinds are in fine condition, and considerable preparation for next vear cro The doctors who were here yesterday said that alx.ut the same health condi tion prevail all over Eastern Oregon, viz : Almost a total absence of pulinon- I ary and malarial diseases. Thev find that each of the places visited by them have ample water futilities, but that Baker City's arte.iati water a at the purest and best. They were non-committal as regards what thev will report at to The Dallet, bnt it was evident they were very favorably impressed by their examination and thought it necessary to make a second trip to the asylum site to confirm them in their good opinions. They found a large body of pure spring n ater with 140 feet fall close at hand, and the entire land area was covered with rich alluvial soil. A large bearing orchard was also a feature of the grounds, while the facilities for railroad and river transportation were excellent. Another point in favor of The Dalies was the branch asylum being located near the parent institution, and that branch asylums are invariably located within a radius of ICO miles from the main one. Temperature and climatic conditions favor The Dalles as the proper site, there being no great extremes of temperature, such as are found in all the other places named. A decision is expected next Tuesday. Banquet Night of the Whist Club. Whiat is the general rule of the Wednesday evening club, but every few weeks there is an exception to the rule, and after the usual number of games are played, a banquet is in order. It is needless to say that the exception is quite at acceptable as the rule, since every one stands an equal show of mak ing a good score in the former. Last evening was appointed as banquet night, and Mr. Keilar evidently did his best, for everyone voted it the beet they have yet had. The club was entertained last evening by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hilton, and although it is termed the Union Whist club, several young people who are not elibible to join the union were invited. Jut'ge Bradshaw won the first prize, a pair of vases, and Mrs. J. C. Hostetler the booby, a handkerchief case. m-cj.iij.cil, , a inea an, I V -.;..-. ,!, 1 1.1 l. 1 , . 1.1 flr..

He is a very !pular man and can have almost any elective office he desires in Oregon, where he draws votes from admirers of all political tha.les. The scheme to beat Dolph it to nominate Pierce for gover dor on tlie populist ticket and have him endorsed by the democratic convention, in which event it is considered that he cannot fail of election. He can get the democratic endorsement, it is thought, through Pennoyer, the present governor. If that plan succeeds and Pierce is-elect-ed, he will try to return the favor and endeavor to cast the populist vote in the legislature for Pennoyer for United States senator. The populists and democrats combined could eatily make up the necessary majority in the legisla ture , "The friends of Dolph are already at work tiying to defeat this plan, so that the elections of June will likely prove more exciting than any Oregon has ever held."

Mayor Mason of Portland received a letter from a representative of the desti tute unemployed recently, which caused him to refer it to the taxpayers com mittee of one hundred. The letter was anonymous, but urgently calls for aid, hinting at force if something is not done for relief.

There are several barrels of flour left in the Moody warehouse, sent here for the sutrerers of the 18!'l fire in The Dalles, which is still in the hands of the relief committee appoiuted at that time to distribute it. This flour is being de voured and wasted by rats, and what is left should be at once disposed of. There are cases of destitution In the city and county, where this flour would relieve great suffering, one case In par ticular reported yesterday where a family has been without bread for three days. The Y's and woman's relief societies have this year been taxed more than usual In providing relief for desti tute families and it is shameful that this flour remains undistributed. The relief committee should wind up their business and disband, and the flour or anything else which way have not yet been dis bursed given over to the charitable societies of tlie city. Wine-Making In Wasco 'euntjr. Wasco county is unexcelled for raising grapes, and both quantity and quality will average alongside of the famous grape-producing belts of New York and California.
