FRVITRAISING PAYS.
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.

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

The attempt to change the name of
the Mongolian pheasant to Denny is
not founded on any good reason.
While Mr. Denny is entitled to much
credit for introducing the bird Into
this country, he is not thu discover nor
a naturalist and is not entitled to the
honor. The name Mongolian is a cen-
eial term and the proposed chn.igo lo
an individual name would undoubt
