POPULISM M MISFORTUNE.
Jit one reads the wailingS and com
plainings of the populist press be be
comes convinced that these people are
constitutionally disorganised. They
grumble and complain because they
are built that way and cannot help it.
One is therefore led to pity rather than
despise their ravins.
They see no good in anything, and
disaster is either already sweeping
everything under or it is just about to
do eo.
Today the country is enjoying a con
dition never before attained by itself
or any other country. Our export
trade for last year will probably ex
ceed f 1,200,000,000. The balance in
cur favor will be nearly one-third of
that enormous sura. This causes the
gold of the world to flow to us in a
stream never before known in the his
tory of commerce. The volume of
ooney, like the volume of business, is
increasing. Business activity is every
where manifest. Fair prices for farm
products make good buyers of the
farmers,
splendid
bursting
The business mem report
trade. The banks report
vaults the money largely
deposited by the farmers.
And yet there is not a populist in
the whole country who can see a sign
of prosperity or a promise of good any
where. If the sun shines it is jost go
ing behind a cloud. If the wind blows
softly it is just about to turn into
cyclone of destruction. If business is
on the boom it is the last spasmodic
effort before the general collapse. If
money is flowing into the country it is
the hut flow of the tide before it ebbs
and carries everything to the bottom
of the sea. Good crops, good prices,
growing bank accounts, enlarged busi
ness, new enterprises, active employ
ment of labor everything that usually
make prosperity is made to indicate
the advent or to signify the coming of
general distress.
These people wotild be calamity
howlers even if they were being buried
beneath untold wealth. They are built
that way and are seemingly not re
sponsible for what they do or say.
' Columbia county is on the eve of a
healthy and substantial growth, but it
cannot thrive without some little effort
on the part of her citizens. The pop
ulistio and grumbling element will not
aid any community, so we would advise
those who are populiatically inclined
to forget their w&ilings, brace up and
enjoy life, speak good of your neigh
bor your town, your state, and see if
you don't feel better. Don't be a kicker.
Thk proposed ill by Senator Mul
key, of Monmouth, to reform taxation,
is causing considerable discussion
aiooog the city and county officials.
The senator contemplates a sweeping
revision of all the laws governing as
sessments. He says Oregon at present
has no tax law. Officials admit there
is plenty of room for amending the
assesbtneut laws. It is a problem
which different states of the Union
have wrestled with for years with very
unsatisfactory results. There is always
some class or other that suffers injus
tice at the hands of the most equitable
of the laws adopted, and there have
always been loopholes through which
other classes could escape, thereby
shifting the burden dpon the shoulders
of the willing ones. If Senator Mul
key's new bill will remedy even some
of the many glaring irregularilios, the
officials reason that it will be a great
step in the right direction.
Tm Oregon legislature meets in
regular session next Monday, January
0th. With the disturbing question of
the election of a United States senator
eliminated from the body, it is very
probable that the forty days' session
will be very profitably spent, and that
in m.h remedial legislation will be ac- J
coirp!;;hed. ' J

"AH things owns to him who waits,"
ays the proverb. It may uot always
come true, but it ourtaioly has in the
C:'.!i cf N?'?0a pivoW rf Mairm, The
opponents of his Uriif bill and the op
ponents of a tariff generally took much
comfort, for a long time after the law
went into operation, in pointing tut
that it could not and would uot under
any circumstances bring sufficient
revenue, supplementary to that com
ing iu from internal taxation, to sup
port the government. They would de
cluim in one breath against the burden
of taxation it placed upon the people,
and with the next, with a remarkable
obliviousness to consistency, would ex
claim that it does not impose enough
tax for the necessities ol the govern
ment. They fvere able for a time, too,
to show apparently from the returns
that they were right in the Utter con
tention. Owing to wull-knowu cause
in iu early operation, it was not as
large a revenue producer as it was ex
pected it would be when in full opera
tion, but its opponents, intent on mak
ing a point, ignored the temporary
causes which in the beginning crippled
it, and tried to create the impression
that its full strength was then shown
They, however, deceived no one who
took the trouble to inform himself, and
leng ago in the face of the growing re
turns they dropped the argument al
together. The law has for some time
now been operating under normal con
ditions, uninfluenced by the excess of
importations which occurred just be
fore it went into effect, and no longer
hampered by the depression which
then prevailed; and the treasury
bureau of statistics is able to institute
comparisons with previous laws, and
to show that those who devised the
present one and fixed its rates of
duties knew what tbey were doing
and made a success of devising
schedule which should afford both ade
quate protection and adequate reveoue-
LUMBER PROSPECT FOR 1809.
The Outlook for the Coming; Season
la Extremely Favorable,
Pacific Lnruber Trade Journal.
The prospect for next year in the Inrabe
trade of the Pacific coast never looked
brighter than they do at this time. Copi
ous rains have fallen in California, assuring
a bounteous crop of cereals; fir prices have
advanced In San Francisco; the rsdwood
men are obtaining better returns lor their
lumber than formerly and stocks of lura
ber of nearly every kind are from 25 to 33
per cent lower than one year ago. With
all these good things the mill men of North
ern California and the Pacific Northwest
and the dealers in Central and Southern
California bar reasons for rejoiciaj.
The foreign cargo trade, too, promises
good returns next year. Reports from
Australia indicate a heavier consumption
than in several years, owing to a depletion
of slocks and a marked revival la business
conditions. The people have recovered
from the panic of 1891 and 1892 and have
gone quietly to wore developing the re
sources of their country and leaving specu
lative investments alone. The lesson was a
bitter one, bat it bad its compensation. ; tbe
revival will be permanent, as it Is formed
on a sabstatial basis. China will also be a
promising field next year, dne entirely to
the Russian railroad which is building now
through Manchuria. The principal de
mand, of course, will be for railroad tim
bers, but nnder the influence of the rail
road we may look for a market m tbe near
future for building material. It is said
that already, where the Russians have
taken camp and put up substantial frame
buildings, they have found imitators in the
Chinese. The next few years will make
history In the Orient. The accession of the
Philippines will not, at first, do much for
the lumbermen of the coast, but new blood
will develop tbe inlands, and the new blood
is progressive, and will develop tbe re
sources, which will have its influence on
the sales of lumber. Japan will not take
any more lumber than usual, and Hawaii
but little mors than its usual quota, but
new capital will come In after while and
the products of that territory will be fur
ther developed. The South American
countries ought to be good buyers, but no
one can say for certain that they will. The
lumber shipments to Alaska ought to be
larger than this year on account of railroad
communication, and the certrinty of tbe
permanence of tbe gold fields and new dis
coveries. Europe will take abont iu usnal
quota. Tbe cargo shipments to California
ought to increase greatly.
Next in importance is the Eastern trade.
8o far the shipments of lumber and shin
gles this year exceed those of last year by
large margin. Indications point to a
still further increase in lumber shipments
next year, and there is no reason why shin-
gle shipments should not increase, in spite
of tbe unstable market the present year.
Fir lumber is gaining ground everywhere
in tbe East as a superior wood for car
building, bridge, road, flooring, siding, etc.
Cedar has stood the test and is gaining
ground, while ilie snruce and larch lumber
demand is rapidly increasing. Bed cedar
shingles sre all right, and the only remedy
needed is a close study of tbe conditions
by manufacture, carefulness In manufac
ture, prompt shipment, and in many cases
business methods. Indications sre (hat
the rail trade next year will even exceed
this year, which, to date, exceeds that of
any rear in tint history of the business.
Healthful Properties of Apples.
Tbe apple is such a common fruit that
few people are familiar with it remarkable
efficackin medical properties, says tbe
Humanitarian. Everybody ought to know
that the very best thing he can do is to eat
apples just before going to bed. The apple
is excellent brain food, because it has more
phosphorio acid, in an easily digestible
shape, than any other fruit known. It ex
cite the action of tbe liver, promote
sound and healthy deep and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth. It also agglutinate
the snrplus acids of ths stomach, and helps
th kidney secretion snd prevents calculus
growth, while It obviates indigestion snd is
one of tb best preventives of diseases of
the throat. Next to lemon and orange it is
j also tbe best antidote for the thirst and
craving of person addicted to ths alcohol
and opium habit.
Still another sad affair. That of poor
Charley Schneider who met with an acci
dent in letting his left hand come In contact
with a shingle-saw, losing ths ends of his left
thumb and forHnrw, and the nil-Idle llnirer
may have to bs taken off, so that ha will be,
a oripple for life.
Christmas was well celebrated in tills part
of the Oregon forest. Geese, bad to play
conspicuous part, and In soma cases there
was enough left to feed several who perhaps
did not got any goose. While soma were
merry, there were others who were vary
sad, Clue of ourneighbors.GranOpe Holmes,
lost his wife on the 21st of December, IH08.
and she was laid to rest in thsUudsou cem
etery in the presence of about sevmy
friends and relatives. The funeral sermon
was preached by Rev. lUirlliiganie, and
was very able and consoling and will uot
soon be forgotten.
The Law Prescribes.
Th road law sets up a very plain dlreo
tiou requiring every supervisor to erect
sign boards at road crossings iu his district
in these words: "Every read aupcrvlsor
shall erect and keep Op at th forks of
every highway and every orosaiug of pub
lie roads within his road district, a guide
oi finger board containing sn inscription In
legible letters directing the way and speci
fying th distance to tbe next town or pub
lic place situated on each road respectively
The cost is trifling and Is paid by ths
county. It would seem that there should
be no unmarked crossings, but every per
son who ha occasion to drive knows
that there are more unmarked than there
are marked, and in the less settled parts
where there is moat need, the sign boards
are wanting. Now is,a good time to put
these up, and surely snyone who Is willing
to sccept the office of supervisor should
also be willing to attend to this plain duty.
A Good Reolpe.
A young lady of St. Helens who Is com
piling a book of domestic recipes, has the
following: I 'To Preserve Husbands.1 Be
careful in your selection. Do not choose
too young and take only such varieties as
have been trained In a good moral atmos
phere. When once decided upon and se
lected, let that part remain forever settled
and give your entire thought to preparation
for domestic use. Some insist .on keeping
them in pickle, while others are constantly
putting them in hot water. Even poor vari
eties may be made sweet, tender and good
bv sarnishini them well with patience, well
sweetened with smiles and flavored with
kisses to taste. Then wrap well in a mantle
of charity. Keep warm with a steady fire
of domestio devotion, and serve with
peaches and ereaaa in summer; tr) winter
with good coffee with a nice tender porter-
honse steak. When thus prepared tbey
will keep for years."
Spruce liogs Scarce.
Spruce logs are still scarce, despite tbe
extensive operations of several large logging
concerns. All the spruce that is taken ont
finds a ready market, at s high figure, and
outside buyers find it difficult to get suffic
ient qantlties to supply the demand. Ths
Soranaon Lumber Company I very exlen
sively engaged at Seaside, and ba recently
purchased an improved logging engine. All
tb logs taken out by this company are
sold immediately, and there is good demand
for twice as much as can be taken out by
all the camp hi Clatsop county. Spruce is
in great demand for box manufacturing
purposes, and Portland box factories are
nnable to obtain enough to supply the trade.
Spruce is now higher than ever before, and
loggers are reaping a harvest Ths deaiaad
for American lumber has greatly Increased
since the duty was placed on Canadian logs,
and the rise in tb price here is due in a
great measure to the exclusion of tbe Brit
ish Columbia article. Fir is also scsri-e, but
the demand lor it is not as great as that lor
spruce.
Importance of Road Law.
At the Joint meeting of the road conven
tion held last Friday In Astoria, August
Hildebrand, chairman of the Posh Club
committee, sail4 :
In discussing road matters I do not want
to forget tbe vital point, and that Is, we
may amend the laws and attempt to en
force the same; yet, if the minds of the
people are such that the laws are not obeyed
w may as well not make any at all.
An old saying Is that no law is so strin
gent but thct some one is able to evada it
therefore I believe that it is not only proper
for ns to frame laws but also for us to ele
vate morals of the people to such sn extent
that not only will tbe laws be obeyed with
out harsh measures on the part of the su
tborities, but that even unwritten law will
be obeyed for the welfare of the commun
ity. This elevation of the morals is prob
ably in the province of our teachers, or tbe
ministers of the gospel; yet I believe it will
not be amiss if we pledge ourselves to teach
such morals and set an example to our fel
low citizens and endure Individual losses
for tb benefit of the common good.
I am satisfied that if we are able to act
ourselves in such a way, and are heart and
hand in any project which will benefit tbe
community we accomplish a go.'d mission
and will also be able to inoculate tbe same
feeling in our fellow citizens. In this way, I
claim, that we will be doing more for the
benefit of our country than by enacting
and enforcing all the laws we might create,
therefore I believe it would be wise for us
to understand this question thoroughly
and nledee ourselves not only to the sup
nort of the laws enacte 1, but also nleiit'e
ourselves to act in goon taitu tuwara any
public improvement.
