A CLEBOTMA5 who did not get on
well with the congregation was ap
pointed chaplain of a penitentiary,
and preached a farewell sermon to ;
his congregation. There was noth
ing in the sermon at which anyone
could take offense, but some of the
members did not like the text,
which was: "I go to prepure
place for you, so that where I am ye
may be also."
TuR Farmers' Alliance iu eoiiven

against the building of the new

a mistake, and great one, too.

The Ashland militia are great on

The first apples raised in Polk
county were grown by Gabriel
Ilardison, who brought the seed
across the plains with him in 1H5,
Immediately ou , his arrival he
planted them and thussoon secured
enough apples for homo use. In
1832 he sold apples, us did some
others, for $15 a bushel, the pur
chaser picking them himself. This
is the same year that wheat sold at
$5 a bushel,
The Democratic editors of Kan
Basin convention assembled say
this: "We oppose governmental
purchase of the railroads, but we
believe in legislative control in the
interest of the people whose char
tered servants they are." We em
phatically oppose the proposition
for the government to purchase the
surplus products of the soil as be
ing a plain violation of the coiiKti
tution. To those who favor gov.
ernnieutal loaning of money on
products of the soil we quote a
maxim by one of the founders of
the government, "The government
must not become a banker,"

The following from the Wasco
S, published at The Dalles, Or,,
is puttii.g the thing about right,
although in burlesque. The fact
is the locks at The Dalle will
never Im built. No one of any
sense etpvet it. That has beeu
reeiferated from the political roa
trunts for years, saying, "Amd me,"
"I will build the .locks at The
Dalles," "l will build the locks.'
Build a gmd lVrtiige railway, and
let the state do it. 8he is amply
able, lt congress gt) to grass, for
its alt nonsense to talk continually
of what congress is going to do.
The railrotids up that way . do not
want the locks built, and that net
ties it, so far as congress, congress
men and senator are concerned.
But railroads do not control the
state of Oregon by a long shot, uot
tithe as much as they do congress;
hence Kastcrn Oregon should join
hands with Portland and The Wil '
lamette valley and build all the
necessary oi tiges at once. The
next legislature ought to cak iu
unmistakable tones concerning this
greufc waterway. Its importance is
not conceived of as yet. The
state would le repaid in five years.
Here fbllow a glance at the ''se
amy behind the curtains from the
Senator Mitchell, Congressman
Hermann and Major llandbury
held a seance at Oucade Lock yes
terday. Our ciUicns were inviteti
to come down ami take a look at

tions, politely tWIinwl. They
kuow from past exerieueethat the
necromantic Major can take a map,
a i?lort and a lead pencil and con
struct therewith a gruud canal,
which, when viewed properly
through Um bottom of a wine gta-ss,
looks the rosy hue of life itself, hut
altis fades away at a practical touch
like the tilaiv for'u of a phantom.
As niiu-h as one jx-oplo desire the
'Lorktt' they have finally
tdmlwl that a substantial throe-foot
gauge portage railway in practical
oeration is Mter by fur thau the
graudent rugineeriutt feat of the

j Wo have no doubt the M.ijor con
ljuiiil npthe usual glut but his
I phantom has lt the charm of
novelty. The "ciftmrr ne
rui;;ht have attnntioiis for a few,
and the usual display of "ArtSi"
prove interesting, but the people of
Hie italic have grown tirou ot
visionary none. They have all
due respect for Messrs. Mitchell
and Hermann but re hwJUh som

to attend "ghml dances."
, However it is well enough for
these gentlemen to inform them
nelves thoroughly ou the subject,
for they may le held to a stricter
account in the hereafter for the
way appropriations are spent a

The death of Hanuibal Hamlin
will awaken hi-torical and political
reminiscences throughout the hind.
He iw first elected to t'ougn-ss as

the senate in 1M. In 1W he
was elected governor of Maine as a
Republican, bntsiHiii resigned to
return to the 1. S. senate,' retiring
only when elected vice president.
Iu 1W.I he was again elected V, S.
senator, aud served till 1H81. He
was then appointed miniWr to
Spain, but a foreign court had no
attractions fir him, , ami after a
year's service he returned home
He has taken no active part in pot

etc., and while, ho is storing his

his wife is reading buck n urn licred

A Michigan girl told l.er young
man that she would never nmn v him

says: "The numir oi paiupnieis
