A.!f item in a communication re- ceired At this office last week. state that two thousand pounds of dried prune had just been turned out from . the fruit dryer of an enterprwin. farmer of this county. Tins is an item which should not be lightly passed, over, for though insignificant in appearance it contains volume subject matter for sober consideration Briefly, the fruit industry could be made one of the leading brunches of agriculture in this county, and it would certainly prove one of the moat lucre tive in which the farmer could invest bit labor. We are blessed with a cli mate which, together with productive oil add other favorable conditions, gives us a country preculiarly adapted to the successful production of nearly all the staple fruits and many of the mailer varieties. Slatislicts are not at band, but if the amount of money auuuaHy sent out of the state for green and dried fruits, could be herewith tabulated, it would cause all thinking persons to pause and ask why such thines erevail. There is not only no excuse for us buying our fruits abroad and sending large sums out of the coun try in payment for it, but there is no reason why we should not only supply our home market but have a yearly surplus which would bring us many thousands of dollars. The item above referred to is simply an illustration of what can be doue in fruit raising by giving it a little attention and employ jng the proper means of preserving the fruit after it is grown. Preserved prunes, apples, pears and berries are always a staple in the market anJ sever hesitate to find a ready murk at prices which amply remunerate the producer. The outlay of capital and labor necessary to produce fruit is in significant compared with the cost iu labor and money in raising cereals. and as the cost of production is the principal item to be considered in rais ing different crops, it necessarily follows that a crop which is the cheapest to produce, the easiest to take care of, the surest of a good market and brings a good price, is the one that should re ceive a good share of the farmers at tention. Many potent reasons could be given for taking a more general interest in fruit raising. It is not au expensive crop to produce nor is its successfu harvesting dependent upon favorable meterological conditions, as is the case with grain, while much of the land in this county not suited to the production of the latter will yield a sulendid result in fruit. It should be the duty of every farmer in the coun ty to have a good bearing orchard on bis place, and be should be stiugy in bis attentions to it, for there ars few crops that will yield a larger net cash result than the different yarieties of fruits of which our county is so richly prolific. Circumstances, aided by the toad ies who constantly surround him, have this week greatly aggravated the "big bead" with which Mr. Cleveland has for a long time' been afflicted. He thinks that it was himself alone who caused the sudden collapse of the op position to unconditional repeal in the senate and he is in consequence dis posed to be more autocratic than ever. The sudden change in the tactics of the senators opposed to the Voorhees bill, while seemingly almost a miracle is in reality easily accounted for on common sense grounds. It must be remembered to start with that no sen ator has been at any time opposed to the repeal of the ' purchasing clause of the silver law. It was the uncondi tional repeal of that clause that the silver senators opposed, because tbey thought they could thereby secure a compromise in the shape of an amend ment that would provide in some way for the continued coinage of the silvtr money. After Senator Sherman served notice on the democrats, in bis great speech, that the republican sen ators who were committed to uncon ditional repeal would not aid the den. oorsts In arriving at any compromise the democrats tried to patch up a com promise among themselves, but Mr. Cleveland succeeded in. preventing it. It being then plain that no compro mise could be reached there was no longer any reason for prolonging the figut; hence the present situation. OUR COAL AND IRON. To do this subject justice would require many columns of space and the compilation of statistics which it is not convenient or possible for us devote to it, but mineral resources of this county Is a subject npon which something interesting can always be said. Oaring gold bearing ore, Colum bia county probably has more varied and richer mineral deposits limn any county in the state, and theso niinerub do not at all represent the natural re sources and wealth of the county. However, it is not our pnrprso to gen eralize and we will only remsrk briefly upon the coul and iron deposits which havo received the most attention at the hands of interested parties. Per manent among these are the coal de posits near Scappnose station, twenty miles' from Portland. , At tin place are two or three veins in ns many dif ferent places, all of which have been more or less developed and all show up well. The veins are all large, eas ily Hceessable and the coal is uniformly of a high grade lignite, showing more than an average in fixed carbon and vulalile matter, with a light percent age of ash and water. None of these mines are more than live miles from the Northern Pacific railroad and the title to the lands upon which they are located is unclouded. In this vicinity are located the famous Bunker hill iron deposits, covering six-hundred acres of heavily timbered lands, all of which carries a good grade of Hon ore which can be mined, and reduced on the ground at a nominal cost, or cheaply transported to the smelter at Linuton. These depot-its are owned bj Messrs. Mantilla and Campbell, of Portland, and cau bu bought or leased at a reasonable hsute. At least one true fissure vein has been located in these deposits by Mr Campbell, and can be Been at any time by a visit to the tunnel at Bunker hill. At Columbia City is located a coal vein which has been sufficiently devel oped to establish its exteut and the quality of the coal. This property is one of the best in the couuty, and if properly handled would prove a splen did source of revenue. It is located lees vhan a mile from the Columbia river and the Northern Pacific railroad, and a railroad can be built to it with out encountering a grade. The min eral wealth of this county, however, is not represented by the properties just enumerated. In the Nvbalem valley are located coal and other min eral deposits which for exteut and richness are not equaled in any other section of the state, nor, indeed, are they surpassed on the coast. Three miles from Vernon ia are located the Pebble creek coal mines, owned by the Great Northern Coal Company. Several large veins are located here, all of them of a high grade of lignite coal, easily accessible and inexpensive to opperate. Tunnels have been driven on two or three of them and develop ment to the amount of seven thousand dollars has been done. These mines stand ready to discharge their cargos of wealth when transportation factli ties are supplied. The coal deposits of the Nehalem basin are the finest in the state, excepting none. Rich silver mines have also been located oti Bock creek, in this county, upon which snf ficienl work has been done to develop a vast quantity of rich ore. In fact, the mineral resources of this county are varied and valuable and that the near future will see Columbia take the lead in mineral production is in the limit ef reasonable possibilities. A correspondent of the San Fran cisco Call asks for an ' explanation of the fact that the midwinter fair build- ngs are being constructed entirely of Oregon pine and spruce, while Cali fornia redwood does not figure in the materials used. The explanation given to the Call by the executive committee is that at the time the contracts were let the only woods available in suffi ciently large quantities were Oregon pine and spruce. Besides, it is stated by the executive committee that while redwood is desirable for interior finish ing it is not so well adapted for con struction purposes as the other woods. Bed wood will be freely used, it is prom ised, in the decoration of the various buildings. The prospect for a rapidly-increas- ng output of gold increases every where. The great mines of California are turning out regularly $2,000,000 worth of gold every month, and small ones are developing everywhere. The gold region of California has only been skimmed over. In the flush times nothing but the richest mines were worked, and s large number of those abandoned in 1859 are now be ing reopened. rPPl! The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; No Alum. Psed ia Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard. Oss of our correspondent asked last week what' the word "cloture" means. The word is French and means to bar, stop, or bring to a final conclusion, and iib the word has been commonly used by our senators we would infer that lltu meaning in w hich they used it was to cease further -din-cushion and bring any meusure to a final vole. Thk mints are being put in readi ness to coin the silver seigniorage of :f 150.000,000 which will soon be put in circulation. About $83,000,000 gold bullion will also be coined.
