Lord Dunbacbn says his yacht, Val
kyrie III, shall never again cross the
Kceau. There are any number of peo
ple m America who will not lose any
sloen over this astonishing bit of news.
Lords, Earls and Princes of the Dun-
racen caliber are not in Urge ueiuaua
over hero anyway.
In the Dast wheat has been king in
Oregon, but it is apparent that hops
and 'ruit are becoming an important
factor With our farmers. If we take
this year, says the Portland Dispatch,
- . . t. t : 1 1
11 la a question which trup win
change the most money, wheat or
Irujt. In Southern Oregon it is be
coming almost the exclusive crop,
"while lance orchards may be fount!
throughout the valley and Eastern Or
egon. We are no longer a single crop
late, but have .hops, wheat, oats, bar
ley, fruit of every ind and variety,
sheep, cattle and salmon. , The fruit
industry baa developed very rapidly
(taring the past three years, and car
loads are being sent ' to Eastern mar
kets, while our dried and canned traits
will soon fled their way to every civi
lised nation on earth. While it looks
as though the industry might be over
done, it is evident that the present
year's increased crop is in ss active do
mand as the lesser crops heretofore,
and at better prices. The fruit indus
try is bound to become one of Oregon's
principal resources in the future.
Today we hear almost nothing abort
strikes, unless it be to raise wages to a
boint where operative believe tbey
6nght to be advanced, and everywhere
bexe is an increased hum of machin
ery, and in every industry there is an
effort to supply the market frith fresn
.roods. It is a welcome change to
those, who in many cases, exhausted
all they had laid by in holding on until
he times changed. The wage-earner
does not live in a bed of roses. In the
tost of times it is necessary to live
-with prudence, and the man who does
not Jay .by when be has plenty of work
is not doing justice to himself. The
trouble with people in bad limes is
chiefly with those, who, like the prod
leal son, have spent their earnings so
freely that they have nothing to fall
back upon. If all our wage-earners
will take the advantage of the return
6f good times and high wages to re
... place what theyhave lost, and increase
their reserves, they will soon be out
Of trouble, and find that the p.ition
of wage-earner is not so desperate as it
h been said to be. . "
Th egotistical man is a prince ol
borer, and ia a person to be shunned.
Conceit is taking ourselves at an esti
mate which is about seventy per cent
above a fair and equitable value. There
are puffed up individuals who worship
themselves, and who do not care who
lenows it.' "John Smith" is an egotist
of this type. He' bought himself a
book not long since, and wrote on the
fly leaf : "Presented to 'John 8mith'
by himself as a'thark of esteem." Peo
ple who insist most vehemently on
their ability to paddle Jtheir own canoe
usually have to botrow the canoe. The
editor who had so mncb to say about
Uie circulation of bis paper, usually
' has the least' reason to boast "of the
means by which that circulation was
obtained! Empty minds are the most
prone to soar above their proper sphere,
like ape? kites are kept afloat by their
own lightness, while those who are
better stored are like heavily-laden
vessels, "which we see the less of,
the more richly and deeply they are
freighted. The corn bends itself down
ward when its ears are filled, but when
the heads of the' conceited are filled
iU adulation they only float higher.
The law in this stole providing that
the county court shall fix the tax levy
at the September term should be so
Changed that it would not be neces
sary to fix the levy nntfl after ' the
state board of 'equalization has cotn-
eeted ii work. It will be remem
red that the present law requiring
ihe county court to make the levy in
September was in existence long be
fore the act creating the state board
of iqualizatioh'was patted, the hitter
. law fixing the time for the state board
to meet - in December. " The state
boardjs action in fixing values on prop
erty is final, and if may raise or lower
Jhe valuation in any county on any
article assessed. Consequently the
county court cannot know what valua
tion they have from which to' raise
;reenue until the final action of the
slate board. For instance the 'county
court might make an estimate of the
'amount oi money necessary for county
expenses and fix the Jflvy 6n the as
'sessed valuation sufficiwutly high to
raise the amount, but should the state
board, which meets several months
later, reduce the assessed valuation
there would necessarily be a shortage
Srf the funds for current expenses.
Therefore it seems that the- proper
remedy' would be to have the 'stale
board complete its work first, and if
values' were either lowered Or raised
the court woujk know jut how much
property they have from which to
raise revenue, and could ' fix the rale
accordingly.- ' .' '
It is indeed disgusting to hear peo
nlesav the United States cannot pass
'certain laws utiles England agrees to
St, yet mis very assertion is ueaiu
fevery day." Then the question at once
'prises, Mot is not this once independ
ent America retrograding n 1776
'the colonies did not ask England ad-
vhie; in 1812 her advice was not
S ' . . .. -... i.
Wed, yet this country prospored ; two
weeks ago the owner ol Defender did
I
not ask permission of her majesty to
allow Defender to win the race. Still
must have "international agree
ment." Well, we have international
agreement with Europe on the tariff
question. England in particular was
anxious to agree on that point, as sue
is on every other question wthen she
can profit on Ame.ica's loss.' Put is
it not about time American patriotism
should cry out" in unmistakable
tones "let us legislate in the interest
of America lor a while!" The good
book leBs ns that "he that prOvMelh
potior his own household is worse than
the infidel." And so it is with us, if
America doss not protect her own
interests they will not be protected.
Patriotic blood should revolt at such
mockery.
TBS XSPOBLiciN ASPIRANTS. '
Three republicans McKiuley, Alli
son and Morion nave oaen piacea
by their stales upon the presidential
track. These three will be presented
in the convention, and two of them,
at least McKiuley and Allison aie
considered by their States and by a
large element of the party' in the rest
of the couutry to be really ana eny
phaticallyin the race for the canai
dacv. Maine and Indiana will not
have anv chance this year to niaxe a
formal declaration of preference, but
each, of course, will support the claims
of it own favorite son in tne couven
tion, and each will be backed by some
of the other states. Maine, at all events
will have this backing, and Indiana
probably wUl. None of the others-
Sherman. Aleer. Edmunds aud Lin'
coin heretofore voted for in national
conventions, are likely to figure with
any prominence in the balloting.
Thus, five men will amue me err
tire strength of the cuavenliou on the
first ballot, which circumstance affords
a certainty that (he nomination will
not be made on that ballot, and which
furnishes a reasonable preauinptioa
that it will not be on the second or
third either. This is as large a field
of racers as have ever appeared on the
presidential track in a repubhean na
tional convention. - Only two men,
Fremont and John McLean, of Ohio,
were in the race for the candidacy In
1836, and before die convention met
it was easy to see that McLean's hopes
were vain. Seward. Lincoln. Cameron
Chase and Batts had powerful and
confident supporters in the convention
of 1860. One man is all who is men
tioned in the next three conventions
Lincoln in 1864 snd Grant in 1868
and 1872. Five men appeared to be
in the race in 1S76 Blaine, Morton,
Bristow. Conkliuir and Hayes and in
1888 Sherman. Gresham, Alger, Har
rison and Allison; three in 1880
Grant, Blaiue and Sherman and two
in 1884 and 1892 Blaine and Arthur
in the former year aud Harrison and
Blaine iu the latter.
It is hard to tell how much or how
little seriousness there is in the Mor
ton affair. Piatt, it has often been
said, and it is generally believed, will
Use Morton to keep the New York vote
solid, and after two or three ballots
transfer it to the one among the prom
iaintr asoirauta with whom he can
make the best bargain in the shape of
patronage. Morton's advanced age
will handicap him in the race, yet in a
deadlock between tbe stronger aspir
ants he may nevertheless win the prize.
Everybody still thinks Heed and Mc-
Kinky are io the lead. Beed is toler
ably sure to have the virtually solid
vote of New En eland, but nobody can
estimate with any sort of confidence
bow far bis strength extends beyond
that locality. McKiniey's extremist
views nn the tariff ouebt to feet him
most of Pennsylvania's delegation, but
of course, Quay will largely dictate the
course of that stale. Allison, it is
thought, will have many supporters in
the silver mining states, and some of
Harrison's fricuds look for a good
many votes for him from Southern
delavates, although it ia not easy to
see on what this hope is based. The
contest is reasonably sure to last
throuzh half a dozen ballots or more
and the most careful estimates of the
chances which are possible at this
time are no better than guesses.
CHECK PAXABLtE TO CCBTEB.
Found In Chicago and Forwarded
to the Widow.
BisMiscK, N. D., Sep. 23. The tragic
death of General Caster snd his gallant
men at the hands of tbe Bloux Indians in
the massacre of the Little Big Horn was
recalled here tlils week by the forwarding

CROPS AND WEATHER.
Tbe following is the report of tbe State
Weather Bureau for the week ending Mon
day, September 23, 1895: - "
WKSTKHS OHCQON.
Weather The week has been cool, cloudy
and showery. The rain fail has been gen
erally less than one quarter of an inch, but
has been distributed over four days.' On
the 20th a heavy thunder storm, sccom-
paoled by hail, occurred in Donglaa and
Columbia counties. - Since Friday tali
weather has prevailed ; Friday and Saturday
nighta were cool, with frosts each uiornir.g.
The maximum temperature for the week
ranged In m 58 to 70 degrees, and the mini-
um from 86 to 54 degrees, temperatures
about tboss of the week preceding. Tbs
sna's rays were quits warm, but tbe total
amount of sunshine was below the normal
amount. The total rainfall for the month
of September is in excess of ths normal
amount, hut pbe total does not amoant to
that wbich fell in September, 1893.
Crops The fsosts were heavy enough in
localities, to injure vegetation usually
frosts do not occur nntil October. There
was no material damage done by the frosts,
for most all products have matured. The
rain Was not beavy enougn to materially
interfere with hop-picking, though the
threateidng weather had a depressing effect
upon ths pickers, and ss a result many
yards hays been abandoned before tbe hops
were thoroughly picked, ins conaiuon 01
ths hoDS is hard to determine. Some
owners claim that the rains bave not in
lured them, otlis s that tbey have done in
jury. It ia safe to conclude that had ths
weather been more favorable tnai more
picking would have been dons and mors
hops would have been baled.
Harvest of all crops Is about over: tlie
hop-picking will he finished this week
prune-drying continues, snd nas been very
successful. Corn yet remains to be gatn.
sred. but as the amount f .corn in Oregon
is small, the gathering of it cats but a small
figure in the progress of harvest Tbe po
tato crop ia now drying, and will soon be
stored for winter shipment and use. Dar
ing the seaaoa of growth, Jbe rainfall wa
so small that it had an injurious effect
upon the pot .1 to crop.
The ground is sufficiently well moistened
as to allow of plowing, which has been
taken up by the farmers; owing to this be-
;og tbe period of fairs, etc., plowing Is gen-
erafly delayed .until alter tne lairs are over.
The seaa throughout has been fairly
favorable to farming operations and to tbe
devalonment of the farm products. Har
vest ia practically over, and as thess hulli
tins are for tbe period of planting to he
vest, tbey will be discontinued with this
issue for tbe current year. .
The Bawsmore Inquiry.
Sas FaAaciscp, Sept. 23. The British
naval court, which was convened by Vice-
Consnl Moore to investigate tbe wreck
the B-.wntuore, off tbe coast of Oregon last
month, has made its report. The findings
comnletelv exonerate Captain Woodside
from all Warns, sod his certificate is re
turned. In conclusion the court says :
"Upon tbe evidence given, tbe vessel ap
pears to have been navigated in a seaman
like and proper manner, and, in the opin
ion of this court, tbe stranding of the ship
is attributable to an excess of current
setting in toward ths land, of whioh
ths master could have bad no knowledge
in the thick weather prevailing since leav
ing Cape Flattery. Tbe error in tbe com
pass also appears to bsve contributed to the
loss of the vessel in causing her to be taken
from her course np to tbe 27 tb of August,
when ths error in tbe compass was discov
ered and rectified. Considering these cir
cumstances, ths conrt sees no ground
blaming the conduct of the master, and re.
turns bis certificate herewith. Tbs officers
and crew appear to have conducted them
selves properly and used their best endear:
ors to savs the vessel."
Water CommlssioB.Bestralned,
