A ff wl uirfft3iion is made by the Or exilian to the enVt that Hint there be held in Portland next November an An AII-Orevu Apple Fair, Columbia County should prepare for tbia event, and now ia the time to begin prepar ations. Considering our small acreage wo have received a wonderful degree of recognition whenever there bus been an exhibit of our apples, and on the North ern Spy wo have cicely led the other counties. The leiiinf Acreage of this finit 1? ntpl lly increasing, but our nwd is a betler method of raiurg and park ing. Mucli of the fruit shows the pre- operations until probably the first of the year, The Spruce & Fir Lumber Company's sawmill located at Coble, was sold Oct ober l"th under attachment proceedings by the sheriff to satisfy labor lieu. The plant was purchased by (iotlieb Anliker, and will be removed to another site. A. O. Jackson's sawmill has not been operating very heavily for some time, and may be closed down entirely because of lack of iuquirv. A steam feed has been installed. Mr. Jackson has Installed wharf at Kwtr Citv 60x200 feet, where most of bis output i loaded on vessle.

The banks are expected to buy these certifr cates (possibly with money depoeited with them be the Government.) For ' , every dollar lavosted in these interest bearing securities the ;banks can issue an equal amount of currency, and, in addition to this, the Government is sup- Dosed to redeposit in the banks seventy ' ' five per cent of the purchase price of the The neoDle. of course, have to pay interest on the 100,000.000 of artifleatea. and whoever borrows it nas to pay interest on the bank notes and the monev redeiosited by the treasury with the national banks. The tide of gold has changed, and is now flowing rapidly toward the United States. The European holders of Am erican securities realised heavily on their investments, and this and ether causes took the gold out of the country. Stocks have fallen so that they have be- , come an attractive investment, and this is inducing a return of the precious metal. A bumper wheat crop is being sold at a high price and before long the pay therefor will be received. AH these causes are contributing to swell the . available volumn of circulating medium, so that within a few months money will be plentiful throughout the country, and bankers will be eager to loan it at a reasonable rate. Why would it not have been as well since temporary relief only was desired for the government to have made an issue of sufficient amount of greenback currency, receivable for all dues, public or private, and retirable at the will of ' the government? Possibly the fresi ; dent, without the sanction of Congiess, has no power to make such an issue, and it is doubtful whether be has not now exceeded his legal power; but, so . far as their utility is concerned, we be- i lieve a greenback issue, within reason able limits, would perform all the functions of money and be acceptable to th ikxidIb Whenever the volume of cold and silver so increased as to be ade- , quate for all business transactions the greenbacks could be retired as easily as they were in Grant's administration It certainly eeems that Mr. Cortelyou : lias taken a very expensive and un- necessary method for relieving the finan- ' cial stringency and one that will be used with telling effect against ti e Re publican party in the coming campaign by year and we hope to see the acreage groatly increased.

The officers of tbe Oregon Dairy As sociation want yon to come prepared to ask questions, to feel that you are pres ent to be benefitted, and to appreciate that tne discn-sion of the papers after tin y are delivered is more valuable than the papers themselves, for this character of discus lion brings ont all the strong points. "The business men of Portland have put op money to insure the publication of the proceeding iu tbe Ixst possible manner, and to illustrate tbe same, but only facts and vital information will be printed," and these are wanted from every district in Oregon.
