A CHEERING OUTLOOK.
Many more good things can be
said of 1897 than was possible of its
predecessor. The contrast between
the year just closing and the one
preceding is a most cheering one,
Nature has bestowed a bountiful har
vest, and the world is willing to pay
a good price for it Mortgages have
been lifted, debts discharged and
more labor eiven employment. No
one will deny that prosperity is upon
ns. It may not have come to all
there are some individuals, perhaps,
who feel the pinch of poverty now
a3 much as ever, but it is not in the
nature of things that all should be
blessed alike. '
The condition which confronts
Eastern Oregon is full of hope. The
price of wheat remains at a satisfac
lory figure, while the wool market is
steadily strengthening. The immense
immigration which will reach the
Pacific coast in the spring will give a
still greater impetus to business and
assist the nermanent material inter
ests of the country.
Let ns profit by the past and
gnard better for the future. Let us
remember that economy" is necessary
in all things, and "to him that hath
much shall be given." We need no
return of "boom times," no specula
.rtive conditions whereby fortunes are
made in a day and lost almost as
quickly: We have just recovered
- from' one sickness of this sort, and
; are in no mood to contract the dis
- ease again. A healthy business life
- is what the nation needs, and it is to
w.this that every indication points.
SHE BEST EVIDENCE.
' "Where are the patriots who but a
little over a year ago loudly de
claimed that the country would sink
to ruin if McKinley were elected?
If there be any sti.'l inclined to the
same forebodings, it is time they are
making their prophecies good. We
fear the task is too much for them.
In this connection if the calamity
toWlers will read . the following ex
crept from Durr and Bradstreets re
jports, their waitings may be silenced :
"The new year opens with condi
tions radically different from those
rhich prevailed a year ago. Great
financial distiust existed then, but
has passed away. After a whole
year of entire freedom from disturb-
' noa sii alarm in wrhmri t Vin nnnntrv

millions for stocks sent from abroad,
' and accumulated credits against other
credits represented bv merchandise

its favor for the past four months,
With deferred exchanges for more
than $20,000,000 held by New York
jjau&D nivuc, nunc luu gtcau luuuo-
tuies have been pushing their way
into foreign markets with unprece
dented success, the monetary situa
tion is no longer a matter of anxiety.
More than half a million men in a
few states, according to official re
ports, are employed now who were
idle a year ago, and the general ad
vance in wages of those employed
bas gone far to restore the rates pre
vailing before the panic. The vol

month been 0.3 per cent larger than
in that year. In many industries
nnd branches of business, the latter
' months ot the year have surpassed all
"Not only to itself has the Orego
nian done great credit by its mam-
moth New Year's edition, but the
whole Northwest appears in an envi
able light by means of 'this produc
tion. The resume of the resources
which Oregon and Washington pos
sess is presented in a manner that
cannot fail of being productive of
benefit to every locality mentioned.
Few people, even among those who
were in daily contr.ct with the evi
dence of it, had such an idea of the
wonderful section in which we are f
living as can be gained from reading
the' descriptive articles in this excel
lent edition. .The articles are judi
ciously written, In a calm, truthfu
manner, and details are set forth ad
mirab'y. This edition is free from
exaggeration, and is in every way
deserving of praise. The Oregonian
has P-iven the Northwest a good start
for a prosperous career in 1898.
AN INTERESTING SITUATION.
The Oregonian has been wonder
fully silent over the proposal of the
Mitchell Republicans to come to an
agreement with the Simon wing of
the Republican party in Multnomah
county. Since the proffer of peace
was made some time ago, no com
ment has appeared in the great daily
and its silence leads to the inference
that the subject is one which the
Oregonian fears to handle.
Be this as it may, to a disinterest
ed spectator it looks as if the Mitch
ell Republicans have decidedly the
upper hand in the contest. It is un
fortunate, perhaps, that they are des
ignated by the name of any' one in
dividual, as if they bad no purpose
in view than to serve the personal
ends of one person. But for this the
Mitchell Republicans are not to
blame, nor is it true that they have
but one aim or aspiration.
The absolute domination of Joe
Simon over the politics of Multno
mah county and because Port'and
contains nearly one fourth of the
population of Oregon, his control
there gave him a powerful influence
in the politics of the state made a
revolt necessary, and in this remon
strance hundreds of good men joined.
The event was unfortunate for the
Republican party in a measure, but
in the end it will be productive of
s;ood.
After a bitter contest, in which it
is generally conceded they were vie
torious, the Mitchell Republicans
make overtures of peace. It is not
an oner ot surrender, nor entreaty
for foigiveness, but rather a mag
nanimous proposal.
That the overture is unpleasant
to the Oregonian, is evident from
that paper's refusal to comment upon
the circumstance, and from this it
may be argued that Simon is not
pleased. Should the SimOn crowd
refuse the compromise, then they
may with reason be "charged with
party disruption. Should they ac
cept, it is an acknowledgement that
the Mitchell Republicans have claims
to -recognition not previously al
lowed.
Altogether the situation is decid
edly interesting, with the Mitchell
Republicans having the best of it. '
One of the most satisfactory re
sults of the general betterment which
the country has undergone is the rise
in the value of farm lands. During
the past three months much farrring
property has changed hands at figures
greatly higher than those -which own
ers expected to receive. Loans upon
this, kind of security are obtained
with ease, and capitalists are willing
that long time should be given.
When farm lands and products are
depreciated everything else suffers a
like depression, and the reverse of
this is just as true. -
The world moves quickly. . A co
alition between Japan and China is
mentioned as more than a possibility,
It will be a case of the lion and the
lamb over again.
Politics may be said to be fairly
"on" in Oregon. In another month
will be seen the building of political
fences which an April wind will
waste little time in demolishing. , '
Jt is probable that the attempt to
grow cotton in Eastern Oregon will
not prove a success, but every ex
periment which tends to diversifying
the agricultural products of the coun
try is tending in the right direction.
There are many kinds" of cereals
which will grow productively on
Eastern Oregon lands and 3'ield
profitable r returns, if we only hunt
around and find them. ' While wheat
is king, and always will be, still there
is room for a large number of princes.
In Wasco and Sherman counties
manv acres will feel the plow for the
first tim this year, and the increase
in acreage means more homes and
increased demand for articles of
trade. We can well rejoice with the
farmers, for their prosperity is ours.
The hopes of ex-Senator C jrbett
died with the waning year. The
senate will nev.er seat him, and the
greatest farce in Oregon politics will
come to an end.

- COTTON FOR OREGON. .
A Crop Will Probably, be Tried In East
ern Oregon.
Yesterday's Oregonian says :
"Oregon will raise cotton next year,
Its cotton crop will probably not 'bear'
the market the first season, but there is
no telling what effect Oregon cotton may
have on the industrial conditions of the
future.
"Cootton is successfully grown in the
panhandle country ;Texas), at altitudes
ranging from 1000 to 1500 feet above the
sea, where frosts occur from the last of
October to the middle of April. In some
parts of Eastern Oregon frosts have been
absent the entire- year. Portions of
Umatilla county are especially favcred
in this refpect. The experiment with
cotton will be made in the arid and
semiarid sections of Eastern Oregon and
Eastern Washington in Wasco, Sher
man, Moro and Umatilla counties, of
Oregon, and Whitman and Adams
counties, of Washington. "
A considerable colony 'of Cubans in
Floriday are negotiating to. come out to
the Pacific Northwest to raise and man
ufacture tobacco, and the parts of Ore-
on and Washington lying east of the
Cascade 'mountains are believed, to pos
sess the conditions suited to the busi
ness. The destruction of the trade in
Cuba has turned the attention of these
people to'other fields of operation, and
they have sent agents to look the mat
ter up. Martinez, the great cigar man
of Key West examined ihe country
recently, and-he did not doubt that to
bacco of a superior quality could be pro
duced in the vicinity of Blalock, in Gil
liam ceunty. ' . ": "
The mechanical devices , of "a Boise
man for raising water from streams for
Irrigating purposes will alee be thor-

trivance ia said to work well in a current
BO slow even aa two miles an hour. '

A, O. GIGER & CO.,
CHINESE WOMAN DOCTOR.
Ha Kins; Ens; Ia the Flrat of Her Sex
to Study Medicine.
As far as her name conveys to the
average American, Hu King Eng might
just as well be a man, but she isn't. Hu
King is a remarkably pretty little maid
from the Celestial empire, and more
than that, she is the first woman of
that heathen land to whom the diegree
of doctor of medicine has been granted.
. . Dr. Hu was born in Foo Chow, and in
her babyhood she had. every oriental
luxury which a Celestial baby could
possibly cry for. Her grandfather was
a mandarin of power and,' wealth, who
late in his life became converted to
Christianity and brought his grand
child up in that faith. ...
When she was old enough little Hu
Kingw,as sent away to a boarding
school, but she pever seemed to take
any interest- in smuggling caramels,
going to matinees audi other courses
which schoolgirls take.. Instead, she
prowled around in the dispensary con
nected with the institution, learning
all she could about medicines and drugs.
So marked was her thirst for medical
lore that her father decided to make a
physician of her.
After bitter opposition on the part
of all her relatives, who said they would
rather see her dead than a doctor, or
whatever the title is in Chinese, Hu
King came across the seas to this conn
try. She matriculated at the Ohio Wes
leyan university, and after four years
of hard, persevering work, was grad
uated with the degreeof masterof arts.
From Ohio she went to Philadelphia,
where she took a three years' course in
the Woman's Medical college and a post
graduate course in the Philadelphia
polyclinic, from both of which institu
tions she received degrees. Then fol
lowed several months of practical work
in the Woman's hospital in Boston, and
Dr. Hu, fully equipped for her life work,
returned to Foo Chow and assumed
charge of the Siang-Hu hospital.
Her success has been remarkable.
One instance is related" of a coolie wheel
ing his blind old mother 1,000 miles in a
wheelbarrow to consult the woman doc
tor. A double cataract operation and
the blind) was made to see. (The only
son of a wealthy mandarin was dumb
from his birth, and so of no accounts
disqualified to worship before the
names of his ancestors. The tied tongue
once relieved, -and the dumb was made
to talk.
Dr. Hu King Eng is one of the dele
gates to the woman's congress to be
held in London next year. N. Y. Press.
