OUR MOTHER EARTH.
There baa been a period of depression
throughout the agricultural portions of
tbe United States that has naturally
canoed a like depression in all other in
dnstries, As a result of this, farm lands
have depreciated in value, farming has
come to be looked upon as an nnprofita
ble pursuit, and there has been in con
sequence a rapid filling up of the cities
at the expense of tbe rural population
The movement is a natural one, for i
serves to adjust the elements of supply
and demand, and the final result will be
to enhance tbe value of farm products
and consequently of the land itself.
It will be but a few years until the
landed proprietor, the owner of the
broad acres,will be looked npon, even in
this country, aa the most favored
of
men. The country is eettling up rap
idly, and when there are no more new
landB to be acquired those who have
farms to bequeath to their children will
have tbe noblest of all inheritances
leave them.
to
This is a grand old earth, literally our
mother from whose bosom all of ber
children are furnished sustenance,
Few, indeed, look upon tbe soil with other
than the idea of ita value aa an invest
ment. In the practical every-day life-
the perpetual rush and grasping for
money, tbe sentimental is entirely over
looked. Your true patriot loves the
soil that sustains him, and eo loving it
he is apt to own some of it. There is
pride, a eelf-reliance in the ownership
of land ; a feeling that the country is
your country because you own a part of
it. We have an inborn love of land,
not for its value trom a money stand
point, but because we look upon it as a
benefactor. All that we have of plea
ore, of joy, of hope, of sadness, are of the
earth. And when no longer we tread
the shady patha, or listen to tbe winds
whisperings to the trees, or bear tbe
splashing of the running waters, or see
the beauties wrought when the glad soil
drinks in tbe rain and turns with dewy
lips to meet the kisses of the vernal
sun ; when age comes on to stiffen the
supple limbs that erstwhile danced for
the very joyouanesa of living, and bends
tbe back to bring the silvery head yet
nearer to the earth that soon will open
ner rooea to receive ana Bheiter us
we ehould go gladly and willingly, aa to
a mother's arma to be lulled to sleep and
laid to rest. There on her bosom we
may sleep. Tbe seasons may chase
each other swiftly around the starry
circle; the tide of years will ebb and
flow ; the winda and the rain will beat
down the lowly mound that marks the
spot where our good mother has shel
tered us, and in a few brief years we
shall pass away from the memory of
men it is the kind old earth that will
give us a resting place forever. It pro
videa for na in life, and takea caro of us
when dead. Why then should we not
look upon it with the eyea of sentiment
and affection, and be moved to pride at
the sense of ownership in it? '
ITS LOCAL WITH 175.
The Oregonian recently sent letters to
one hundred persons in the state asking
their opinion as to what should be done
to increase the prosperity of the state.
Tbe answers are beginning to come in
and are practically identical in their
ideas. Diversified farming, tbe encour
agement of manufactures, dairying, etc ,
form the subject of each and all.
There is one matter that, so far as we
have, observed 'in the answers, has not
been touched, and that is a reduced
freight rate to tbe markets of the East.
We raise immense amounts of fruit here,
but, with the exception of apples, none
of it 'will bear tbe rates at present ex
isting and leave any profit to the dealer.
We are not at all cranky concerning
railroads, for we realize that they must
have- fair returns on their money, but
we believe the freight rates could be cut
in two, and that by so doing the roads
would build up an immense trade that
would yield them much more profit
than the present rates, which practic
ally forbid shipment of plums, prunes,
etc. Another thing is the commissions
charged by the firms in the East, which
in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
. overstep the boundary between profit
and larceny.
Up in this neighborhood we are doing
all we can to increase the prosperity of
this part of the state by planting winter
apples. Within five years Wasco county
Will ship as many bushels of apples as
she now does bushels of wheat, and
. then we are going to have money to
Al . a asm
' mrow at me Diras. mere . are many
other things we could do. . Mr. Vogt last
year demonstrated that hops could be
grown with profit; broom corn tops out
as though it belonged here, and expert'
ment will, no doubt, demonstrate that
our poseible industries are hardly yet
thought of. In the meanwhile, . we
dream like somebody of "most tremen
doua , pippins," and, as Saxe says
"Apples of other appellations." The
dream will be realized in a few years
and then even editors can own two
spring overcoats and a Fedora hat at the
same time.
A FAMILY AFFLICTION.
Rev. Wm. Cleveland, brother of the
president has been asked to resign by
the representatives of the congregatio
of bis church, the vote being 28 to 1.
Mr. Cleveland, instead of resigning,
will appeal to the presbytery. Tbe
president seems to be afflicted tbe same
way, and while it is not probable that
he will be asked to resign, yet if the
matter could be put to a vote, it would
be found as nearly unanimous aa that
concerning his brother. Just now the
chief executive occupies the peculiar
distinction of being a president withont
a party. Elected as a democrat, Mr,
Cleveland tried to hover too many eggs
that did not belong in his nest, and so
spoiled all. He refuses to follow the
policy of his party, does not believe in
republicanism, and has no confidence in
mugwumps. At tbe same time he has
no definite policy of his own, but is just
drifting along, going like the old "nig'
ger," through tbe woods, and spreading
his sails to every breeze, in hopes
being nominated for a third term.
of
In a little more than a year tbe na'
tional conventions, will be held, and
when Air. Cleveland reads the proceed
inea of the republican convention be
can easily name his successor.
Major B. B. Tuttle of Multnomah
county, was appointed adjutant-general
of the Oregon National Guard by Gov
ernor Lord, Monday. Mr. Tuttle is per
haps as well qualified to fill the position
as almost anyone that could have been
selected, but the appointment is not
entirely satisfactory on account of the
fact that since the present state admin
istration went in, all appointees, except
the judgea and prosecuting attorneys of
tbe new Eastern Oregon districts, have
been selected trom Multnomah and
Marion counties. We fail to understand
why tbe governor did not, following tbe
same policy, appoint the judges and at
torneysor Eastern Oregon from Mult
nomah county. There was plenty of
raw material down there for those
places or any others.
The moral wave, which ia just at
present tbe most popular fad, reached
Portland last week. It was warranted
fresh and the genuine article, so the
powers that be proceeded to vaccinate
the city, so to speak, with the clean and
wholesome virus. Us country folks
have been watching tbe experiment
ever since the scarificator was first ap
plied in the shape of a small raid. So
far the vaccine dons not seem to take,
and we are fast coming to the conclu
sion that the moral wave must be ac
companied by soap, or else be applied
with the aid of a hypodermic syringe.
A new scheme for fleecing the gullible
is being worked with great success in
the states of the middle northwest. A
gang of men goes through tbe country
selling at one dollar each, apple trees of
an imaginary variety,' represented to be
as hardy as burr oak for the reason that
the variety ia propagated from seed ex
clusively and the trees are therefore
neither grafted nor budded those opera
tions causing the alleged tenderness of all
previous varieties known. It is said
that not only farmers, but also editors,
lawyers and doctors have been freely
contributing their dollars in exchange
for the trees.
The stat board of horticulture, which
has been in session at Portland for sev
eral days, adjourned vesterday until
October. The meeting was said to be a
very profitable one. The rulea and reg
ulation governing the quarantining of
pest-infected trees and stock have been
put in 'simple and concise form. They
will be given to the press as soon as they
are passed upon by an attorney.
The letters in the Oregonian on tbe
resources of tbe state and the steps nec
essary to develop them are very interest
ing, though necessarily they are more or
less repititions of each other. The gen
eral opinion seems to be that we must
practice economy, diversify our farming,
grow everything we need and something
besides, and above all to be a unit in
everything that will advance the inter
ests of the state.
Yesterday," says the Sun, "the first
importation of opium in fifteen years
was entered and the duty paid at the
Portland custom house." The reduc
tion of the duty has made the business
unprofitable, and tbe government will
now get some revenue from the importa
tion of the death-dealing drug.
Postmaster-General Bissell has been
uperseded by the new appointee, Ex-
Congressman Wilson of WeBt Virginia,
who has taken the office and is now in
fall charge of mails. It is to be hoped
he will do better at getting the mails
around ob time than be did in getting
up a tariff bill.
TAURUS ASCENDANT.
According to the reports from Chicago
sources, the cattle market is liable to
sharp advances. In fact, these advances
are already begun. The lack of feed
through Nebraska and some of the other
inter-river states (if we may coin the
phrase to apply to that section between
the Mississippi and the Missouri) caused
the forcing to market of everything that
could possiblv be put on the market,
Besides this tbe low prices caused many
stock growers to get discouraged, and in
consequence thousands of cows and
calves were slaughtered. The result of
this is that the visible cattle supply
available for beef is 2,000,000 short in
the United States. The long prevalena
of low prices, followed by suddenly
made good ones, will cause still a fur'
ther destruction of cows by those anx
ions to realize on them.
From this it is almost a certainty that
the price of beef cattle is to not only ad
vance. but that the price will remain
high for a number of years. It wi
take eight or ten years, perhaps more.
to increase our herds to the limit where
tbe supply will more than equal the de
mand, and, indeed, it is possible that
beef will never again be as low in this
country as it has Jbeen in the past six
years. Cattle can no longer be raised
under the old conditions ; tbe ranges are
going, many of them already gone, an
the day when the cowboy ehall cease to
clank his spurs on the wide prairiea is
fa8t approaching. The country is being
eettled, the wild grasses destroyed, and
between the two the conditions of cattle-
raising on this coast will gradually ap
proach those in the-East. They will be
raised on tame grasses in enclosed fields
In tbe meanwhile the natural growth
of the country in ten years will add
nearly as many millions to onr popula
tion, so that our market will receive
consumers amounting to 12 per cent of
our present population. This change is
going to be of immense benefit to the
Pacific coast, because it will cause event'
ually the utilization of the immense
Snake river plains, tbe vast regions of
Southeastern Oregon, of Nevada, and of
the other regions lacking in rainfall
It will cause the adoption of systems by
which water can be stored and the
barren plains irrigated. The vast sage
brush plains are peculiarly adapted to
the growing of alfalfa and the raising of
stock. We predict that the Snake river
plains will in the next twenty years be
one of the greatest cattle-raising regions
of the world.
Putin alfalfa; one acre will support
as much stock as 160 acres of sage brush
lands will otherwise, and the millions of
acres of ,tne Northwest will find in
furnishing food for stock the one thing
for which they are especially adapted
If the figures given by some of tbe
Portland papers are correct, it is high
time the moral wave struck that city,
One of the papers states that there are
3,000 women of a certain class in Port'
land. Tbe census gives that city a pop
ulation of 75,000. Dividing this between
the sexes, there are 37,509. -Dividing
this again by two, and we have in round
numbers 19,000, which would give prac
tically the number of women above tbe
age of 21 years. Allowing for those un
der zi wno may need the shelter of a
refuge home, and also for those above
certain age, and tbe number of women
In Portland will not exceed 15,000. It
will be seen from this either that our
Portland contemporary grossly exagger
ates tbe number in giving it as 3,000, or
else 20 per cent of tbe female population
the city is included in the class
named. We do not believe the per
centage will exceed one-fourth of tbe
number named.
An exchange has a long editorial to
prove tbe assertion made in its bead
line "The College Man a Power." We
heartily agree with our contemporary
that the college man is a power, if the
right college man is selected. That a
college education is a great benefit to
some men cannot be denied ; but it is
to those men who have the intellect to
bear cultivation. Tbe fact that a man
has graduated from college does not nec
essarily prove tu at be nas ability or
force of character. Some college men
are a "power;" some men who never
saw tbe inside of a college are also a
power, and often a greater power. This
latter class, if given the benefit of a col
lege education, would no doubt have
reached as high places in the world, but
that they reached them without tbe
college education shows that the power
lay in tbe men, and not in the college.
The city and other elections held in
the East give a pretty good idea as to
how the elections will go next year.
Everywhere the republican majorities
are larger than ever before known.
Even the old democratic stronghold, St.
Louis, was captured by them. Democ
racy is not a hardy plant, its tender
twigs are susceptible to frosts, both late
and early, and it bears fruit only once in
twenty or thirty years. The last crop
was a peculiar one, being the result of a
graft of figs upon thistles, resulting in a
fruit pleasant neither to the sight, smell
nor taste.

be a real bad man," sadly said the small
gentleman, "but I fear I am not a good
enough man to back it up." Indianap

THE MARKETS.
Friday, April 5th. There is but little
to say about the market or market con
ditions, because of the fact that tbe sea
son for marketing farm products is not
yet opened. Some little wheat remains
over in the hands of producers from
last year, but the aggregate quantity
not large. .
Wheat has crawled up steadily since
last fall, until it has reached 38 cents
not a satisfactory figure, but much bet
ter than last fall prices. . The outlook
as taken from Clapp's reports and esti
mates for 1895, is rather brighter than
fir the past two years, as far as produc
tion is concerned. There will be a short
crop in the United States. At the same
time our foreign market is getting
very black eye from the tariff systems
adopted by countries which -we have
heretofore supplied. Italy has imposed
a duty on wheat of 36.7 cents a bushel
Spain added 9 cents more last year, so
the tariff is now 55. Sweden raised the
duty 13 cents. Germany has levied
duty of 33 tents. In fact, nearly all tbe
old world countries have placed a dutv
on wheat, that will make itself felt in
smaller consumption abroad, and con
sequent decreased demand.
As to vegetables, this market is pretty
well supplied. Young onions, radishes
lettuce, etc., are in abundance.
Eggs and butter are plentiful, cheap.
and tbe latter of extra good quality.
We give quotations aa follows :
Whkat 38 cnts per bushel.
Oats 75 cents per 100 pounds.
Barley 55 cents per 100 pounds
Floub $2 25 per pound; retail $2.50,

Bkan $10.00 per ton.
Potatoes 40 cents per sack.
Chickens $2.50 to $3.00 per dozen
Eggs 8 cents per dozen.
Butte b 30 to 40 cents per roll.
Wheat Hay $9 per ton.
Oat Hay $8 per ton.
Timothy. $12 per ton.
Wool 8 cents for best grade.
Wool Bags 39 cents.
Sheep Pelts 5 cents per pound.
Hides 6 to 6J per pound.
Monday's Dust Storm.
A correspondent of tbe Spokesman
Review, writing from Garfield of the re
markable dust storm of last Monday,
says: "
The cause and origin of the dust
storms similar to tbe one which passed
over bere Monday evening bave long
been a mystery. The wind will some
times blow steadily for days without any
considerable amount of dust being raised
by it, while, on other occasions, when
the conditions are apparently the same
the air will 'be full of dust, causing the
sun to give but a sickly color, sometimes
even giving an appearance to the earth
as in times of eclipse. The dust usually
flies high, the lower atrata of air being
about aa free from dust as ordinarily
Monday night was an exception, the
dust being next to the earth, flying in
quantities that made it almost impossi
ble to face tbe wind which forced it
along, the whole landscape presenting a
ghastly hue until the darkness of night
settled down.
The extent of these storms is far be
yond that commonly supposed. Tbe
dust is taken -from the great plains of
the Columbia, in the vicinity of Walla
Walla, and when tbe storm continues
for several hours as it frequently does
it is swept northeast across the fields,
forests and mines of Washington and
Idaho; crosses tbe international boun
dary and shades the meadows of the
Northwest territories; frightens the in
habitants of Manitoba with its similarity
in appearance to that of a cyclone; still
pushes on above the trappers of the
Nelson and Severn rivers, casts its faint
shadow on tbe sailors on Hudson's bay,
1500 miles from its starting point, and
still continues its course onward to no
one knows where.
Examine the trees everywhere along
this line of march. Their bark is gritty
full of small particles of sand. Mill
men and choppers will tell you that
their bark dulls tools much more rapidly
than in regions outside of this track.
ibesandof tbe Uolumbia dulls tbe ax

Yesterday their nature was a mystery ;
today every telephone operator in tbe
Palouse country can tell you they are
electrical storms. When a thunder
storm is passing over a country all the
telephone bells are kept ringing just as
the sounders of tbe telegraph are kept
clicking. Tbe disturbance is only local,
the bells of instruments afar off, even on
the same line, being unaffected. Mon
day night the bells in all the offices in
the territory reached by the storm were
kept jingling. Other dust storms have
passed over us without this phenomena,
but they were too high up too high to
affect the instruments. A few vears ago
there was a storm similar to this one,
but the telephone lines were but few,
and the storm did not strike until a late
hour.
The dust storm is the Palouse version
a cyclone. Its path is wider; its
course is many times longer; it blows
traight instead of with a rotary motion ;
moves nothing possessing much sta
bility ; but both owe their existence to
that subtle force of nature which man
has harnessed, but tbe mystery of which
he cannot fathom.

PROGRESS.
People who ret the greatest
degree of comfort and real en
joyment out of life, are those
wno make the most out
of their opportunities.
Quick perception and
good judgment, lead such
promptly to adopt and
make use of those refined
and improved products of
modern inventive genius
which best serve the
needs of their physical
being. Accordingly,
the most intelligent
and progressive people
are found to employ
the most refined and
perfect laxative to rcg
r'ulate and tone op the
"4 stomach, liver, and
. bowels, when In need
of such an agent hence the great popularity
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
made from the purest, most refined and
coacentrated vegetable extracts, and from
forty -two to forty -four are contained in
each vial, which is sold at the same price
as the cheaper made and more ordinary
pills found in the market - In curative vir
tues, there ia no comparison to be made be
tween them and the ordinary pills, as any
one may easily learn by sending for a free
sample, (four to seven doses) of the Pel
lets, which will be sent on receipt of name
and address on a postal card.
QNCE USED THEY ARE ALWAYS IN FAVOR.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
"coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, "heart-burn," pain and
distress after earing, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
Put up in glass vials, iherefore always
fresh and reliable. One little "Pellet"
is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic
As a "dinner pill," to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over-eating, they are - un
equaled. They are tiny,- sugar-coated
granules; any child will readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It maybe
better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help. Address for free sample,

some 300 feet beyond where he supposed
the shore line to be. He anchored, and
