AST HONORABLE RECORD.
Captain A. S. Iilowers, the Re
publican nominee for county judge,
'n a native of the Empire slate where
be was born in 1845. In the latter
fifties he removed to Minnesota, and
vhen the civil war broke out and be
was scarce past the age of fifteen lie
enlisted in the ICtu V. S. Regulars
Dec. 1, 161, and served till the
following year when ho was dis
charged because of his youth. In
the October of 18C2 be enlisted again
in the Second Minnesota cavalry and
served till April 3, 18CG, when be
-was mustered out with Lis regiment.
He participated in every engagement
and movement of his regiment dur
ing the war and was several limes
-commended by his superior otllcers
for coolness and bravery in time of
danger. lie is an honored member
-of the G. A. R. and was for a time
captain of a company of a tuilili at
Hood River. This is a record of de
votion to the Union and its flag that
any man may be proud of, and when
'Such a man comes before the people
rfor their suffrages in the full vigor of
matured mental manhood and ripe
and varied experience, it ought to
receive due consideration from every
patriotic citizen without respect to
bis political alliliation. Whatever
Captain Blowers has or is be owes to
his own energy and to no one else.
Left alone at the age of eleven years
be has since carved out bis own
fortune. In the civil walks of life
Lis experience has been as varied as
it is honorable. After the war he
settled on a homestead and for a
number of years followed the plow.
-Subsequently he engaged in the
lumber and sawmill business, to
isfaction of bis constituents and
credit to himself. He has always
been a sound, consistent Republican,
and can be depended upon to further
the best interests of tbe Republican
party, as well as tDo country at
large. All who are in sympathy
with the principles of the Republican
party can and will heartily suppoit
Mr. Sleiwcr and many who would
not vote for him if he were a stranger
will cast their ballots for him on
account of bis steiling Integrity,
known ability and all-around good
qualities."
Judgo John C. Tarsncj', of Kansas
City, discussing tbe candidacy of
Bryan, recently used the following
language: "We will have to vote
for Bryan, but it will not hurt u
much. We Democrats have been
votiDg for isms, visions and jack-o'-lanterns
so long that we are used to
it, and it does not hurt us any. True,
Bryan represents the silver question,
but everybody knows that it is a
settled question and no one will get
scared over it. If I had the writing
of the platform, opposed os I am to
tbe silver craze, I believe that I
would put that 16-to-one business
in just to catch the wild-eyed fel
lows who cannot understand anything'
else, and know but little about that."
Tarsney is one of the kind that drink
anything In the bottle so long as tbe
old label uppears on the outside.

COUNTY TICKET.
A. S. Blower?, of Hood
A. Kirclibeiner, of
"which was added a general mer
chaneise store. For twelve years he
served as commissioner for Beecber
nod Otter Tail counties, Minu., dur
ing which time he built and super
intended the building of nearly all
tbe roads and bridges in bis district
which comprised seventeen town
ships. When he was first elected the
county was new and without roads
but under bis management some of
the best roads in tbe state were
built. Good roads were and still
are almost a hobby of Captain
Blowers, and for this reason he was
kept in ofllce from year to year till
be left Minnesota and came to Ore
gon. Six years ago the Republicans
of Hood River asked bis nomination
as commissioner at the hands of the
county convention. His election
followed in due course and his ser
vice in this capacity is a matter of
public record. It is a matter of
simple justice to say that be brought
into bis commissipnersbip the ripe
business experience of long years of
aervicc in the same capacity else
where; that no meritorious improve
tnent was ever discriminated against
because of locality, and that every
proposition for the improvement of
the roads leading to the county scat
received his special and cordial sup
port. Captain Blowers will bring to
the county judgship the varied ex
perience of long years of service as
commissioner in two states, added to
that of a long and successful business
career. Should he be elected he
will move his family to The Dalles
and devote his entire time to the
business of the county. Captain
Blowers is entitled to and ought to
receive every Republican vote in
the countv.
There was a lull in the octopus-
pulverizing business of Crook county
last week. The editor of the Re
view suspended operations long
enough to tell The Chronicle we're
"another" because we intimated that
be had sense enough to know the
difference between forty-five cents
and a dollar till he was metamor
phosed by a little sprig of a flower
that Wandering Willie wore in his
button bole when be last vexed the
air of the Webfoot metropolis. The
Chkomcle takes it all back and
craves nardou on its knees. The
Review man is the same allfircd,free
silver lunatic be always was. There
now. What more do you want?
Tbe editor of a Democratic sheet
published in Baker City has made
the astounding discovery that with
a cash capital of $0000 a man can
buy $100,000 worth of U. S. two
per cent bonds at tbe market price
of $106,000, stait a National bank
and reap a profit on bis investment
of 21.55 f er cent per anDum! These
Popocralic editor are getting so
blamed smart that we Republicans
cannot get up the most insignificant
little scheme for robbing the dear
people that they don't drop onto our
game. That fellow up at Baker
City ought to get a chromo and be
put under tbe care of J. D. Lee till
his brain cools off.

We learn from the Lakeview Ex
arainer that h. l. Moss, who was
nominated by the Fusionisls for
joint representative of Wasco, Crook,
Klamath and Lake county, has de
clined to accept the nomination.
The Examiner says "Mr. Moss was
not consulted regarding the nomina
tion, nnd can no doubt read between
the lines can easily see why the
nomination came to him unsolicited,
and by whose fine Italian hand his
name was written on the scroll in
tbe bouse of lords. Mr. Moss has
resided in Lake county a long time,
and however smooth, suave and
oily-tongued some people may be
they cun't make & cat's paw of him."
A boiler plate editorial, manu
factured at Democratic beadquaiters
for tbe use of the many Democratic
editors who cannot write, intimates
that President McKinley has stirred
up tbe trouble with Turkey in order
to get an excuse for sending Dewey
to sea till after the nominations for
president are over. The Bryanite
mind is marvelously gifted with
what old Thomas Carlyle used to
call preternatural suspicion.

GOING EAST
The Democratic party is between
the devil and the deep sea. If its
national platform is written so as to
draw back the gold Democracy it
will repel the Populists. If it is
written so as to please the Populists
It will repel the gold Democracy. If
it is written to please everybody it
will please nobody and Bryanism will
be like the man with tbe ass in tbe
fable, who tried to please everybody
and pleased nobody and lost his ass
into tbe bargain.
Referring to the Republican candi
date for joint senator of the 21st
district, the Arlington Independent
eays: "Mr. Steiwer's home is In
Fossil. When he located there what
now constitutes the five counties was
all Wasco and Grant, which fact
makes him peculiarly fitted to repre
sent this senatorial district. He is a
man of ability, integrity and large
experience, and is so well known in
this district that it seems useless for
iw to say anything regarding him.
lie has had experience as a legislator
and bns acquitted himself to the sat-
Divested of all "glittering general-
ities," says an exchange, the questions
between the parties resolve them
selves into calamity or prosperity.
T"
uryanism, unaer whatever name
means calamity, while the success of
Republicanism stands for a continu
ation of the McKinley prosperity
that now stalks abroad in the land.
It's either the embalming fluid of
Brynnism or the rich red blood of
McKinley prosperity that the people
have for their choice.
In 1892 the people voted for a
change, In the four subsequent
years they found themselves without
a cent of change. This year they
are content with the change they
nave in their pockets nnd won t
throw away the substanco for the
shadow again, even to please the
Democratic party of pessimism.

It may be interesting to run over a
short paper iu the American Monthly
Review of Review iu which Worth
11. Stottleuiyer present "The Balance
Sheet -of a Small Maryland Peach
Farm." Peach jrrowii(. he saya, is
one of the most profitable i.gricultural
industries in that state, so much so
that half of the farms in many of the
counties have abandoned wheat and
corn and the ordinary agricultural
product, except for home Consump
tion, and have taken to growing
peaches.
"The quality of the soil." he says,
"hardly enters into consideration in
respect to location, as peach trees are
adapted to almost any kind of soil,
but a joor soil is to be preferred.
Trees planted in a poor soil do not
prow so rapidly, are therefore much
more hardy and will endure severer
winters than trees planted in richer
soil. In order that a surer crop may
be expected, the land should slope l
gently to the northwest. Land so sit
uated is exposed to the most rigorous
western winds, and the sun has less
effect upon the trees iu the way of
driving .forth the incipient buds,
which are thus kept in check. Con
sequently they are less likely to be
frozen while in the Incipient state by
lingering spring frosts."
Mr. Stottleni.ver says that many of
the prevalent diseases of the trees are
due to careless nurserymen. His farm
of 30 acres was purchased in 1SS5 for
$70 an acre, and was planted in peach
trees at once. The trees cost him $35
a thousand. The total outlay, includ
ing planting, machinery nnd incident
als, was $2.4G9.S9.
For four years the orchard was cul
tivated thoroughly, while only slight
crops were realized the third and
fourth years," he says, "however, IS
from a careful account made ! 5
during the time, we found that the j 4
cost of cultivation was a little more S
than covered by the receipts from vege
tables that were raised on the land in
the meantime. The fifth vear we
realized a fairly good crop, and dur- j 5'
ing 14 years we secured rix crops from . k
the orchard. 16'
"I!y careful records kept, we find j S'
that the average amount of fruit 1 5
grown upon each tree for the sixife'
crops was 2 S-9 crates, or a little over I g
2', bushels. Thus, upon an average, I 5'
each of the trees produced 13 bush- i'
els during its lifetime. In fact, the
orchard produced 44,301 bushels
salable fruit. From the Kale of these
44.364 bushels we realized a net pnin. I
over picking, crating, shipping, com
mission, expenses, etc., of $!(, 3G1.07.
The net profit per bushel would be
over a dollar."
Against, the net returns from peach
sales of $46,361.07, Mr. Stottlcmycr put
in his balance sheet the cost of the
land, of the trees, of planting and
cultivation, fertilizers, machinery, in
cidentals, taxes nnd interest, which
makes a total of $7.3H9.nn. This shows
the profits to be $3S,9fil.3S. The pre
mature deaths of orchards from the
"yellows" Mr. Stottlemycr says are
generally attributable to the negli
gence of growers. Other growers
realized lnrger returns than those
from his orchard, he says, and he adds
that the end is not yet when one
candidly reflects upon the remarkable
increase in the consumption of the
fruit, almost to be regnrded as a
staple, and when "we see peach trees
planted by the hundred acres, or
chards extending for miles, hundreds
of hand busy plucking the luscious
fruit and crating it for market, all
on a single farm, and whole train
loads h Mi led from a single district;
when growers order their own cars
for daily transportation; when a
peach-grower can send his wife to
bank, with $3,500 in check returns for
a sTngle day, who has netted $65,000
from a single crop."
The industry of which Mr. Stottle
mycr draws so brilliant n picture he
V" n uiuj oeen possible since
transportation has been facilitated fv
a network of railroads.
