That Sumpter is booming and her people progressive is no wonder, if her citizens are made up of a class such as is made mention of in the article-below anJwhich we clip from the American:- - "The Sumpter Townsite syndicate has a man at its head who is going at things in the right way . to win in Sumpter. General Warren is naturally sociable and magnani mous, and even the little children soon find this out. He is a friend of every man who is a friend to himself.. In business matters he is broad gauged and fair spirited in every detail. - He expressed his own sentiments when he said to the writer: "If you find our syndicate falsifying in anything, correct us publicly; if we misrepresent any thing to women or inexperienced men, publish the facts to the world; if we deal with- laboring men by duress, direct the best public senti ment against us, but if we act hon orably and deal justly - with all men, by. the Internal and .Davy Jones we want you to say so" "some times publicly, too." General, we will feel that we are in the line of duty while doing any one or "all the above things, if the facts in the case so warrant." ' ."Forty-four cent wheat. That's raw material. An intensified hen, an incu bator and a brooder. These are mamv factories.' Eggs and other poultry pro ducts. These are manufactured articles. Every farmer a manufacturer, Do you see the point, farmer friend?" Oregon Statesman. "--"" . - -. There is matter for a great deal of careful thought : in the above brief clipping. . With wheat selling t 45 cents a bushel, and eggs at from 25 cents to 35 cents a dozen, it requires but little argument. 'to prove it to be a good business prop osition to pay more attention to the egg and chicken industry , and not quite so much to wheat farming. A small capital intelligently devoted to such an industry . will without question, be a paying investment. How much different is General Wsod's way of doing' business to that of many officers whose names might be mentioned.

One result of this has been the formation of an extra large amount of fruit wood and . budsj and under -ordinary conditions, next spring there will set a very much great er, amount of fruit than will be best for both the interest of the tree and the or chardist. The orchard should receive a judicious, yes, a vigorous pruning this winter, to the end that liberal thinning of fruit spurs shall be had, otherwise the more expensive work of hand thin ning must be done or else there will be produced a mass of inferior fruit for which no market can be found, and as too often occurs, the larger part of the crop becomes a waste. Now is the time to make a thorough examination of the trees ; study the various systems of pruning and the ends they are sought to reach. - Watch the insect and fungous foes and the climatic effects upon the fruit and, foliage buds, and with the opening of spring be pre pared to give the orchard a vigorous but judicious pruning and then follow this with generous tillage of the soil. Only under conditions like these can we ex pect to get the best of returns from the orchard next year, under the UBual Ore gon climatic conditions.

It is in the hearts of all the people of the country to extend congratulations to Admiral Dewey on his marriage. In this as in other affairs he has exhibited his simple, straightforward good sense. His more arduous duties over, he con cludes to marry and "settle down," which is presumably an eminently wise resolve. Having so decided, and realiz ing that he is no longer a young man, he wastes no time, but secures a wife at once. .Having chosen tne laoy, or sne having chosen him, or they having chosen each other, they are married in quiet, simple, . old-fashioned way, without announcement and descriptions and fuss and commotion and parade and display, such as a less sensible man in so high a position would have desired. In all the affair Dewey has again proven himself the quiet, prompt, self-reliant, level-headed man that the people have learned to so thoroughly admire and re spect. Telegram. . '. S , It is perhaps not understood that the system of rural delivery of mails which has been put into operation at .Turner, Hood Kiter, La' Grande,' and perhaps other places in- Oregon, 4s -not perma nently established. The provision in law under which the rural delivery , has been inaugurated provdides only for ex perimental work, and it will be well for the fanners in the districts which now enjoy this service to send petitions to their representatives in congress, asking that rural delivery be made a perma nent thing; Wherever the farming pop pulation is dense rural delivery is a suc cess, and there is no question as to its convenience .and value. Eugene City Guard. Thos. Robinson, of Wind river, shot a grouse the other day, and upon opening the gizzard found several fine specimens of gold. This would seem to prove that there is placer gold on Wind river. Mr. Robinson is positive that the grouse was hatched and raised in the vicinity of the place Vhere it was killed. Some of our would be miners ought to take a trip up through that country and see if they are not as smart as the grouse. Pioneer. Guy Pilkington, formerly of Hood River, and brother of Dr; Pilkington, of Antelope, was recently married at Santa Fe, New Mexico, to a Spanish lady of high standing. The wedding was a grand affair and was attended by the governor of the territory and his staff. Mr. Pilkington is superintendent of a large " mine in the territory. Times- Mountaineer.

American. ; Tribute from the SoatJi. tFrom the New Orleans Tlmes-Democrst. Apropos of all this, and othafi news from. Paris, w take this opportunity to express) our admiration of the extremely aktr and Interesting news service from Paris and from London which " The Chicago Tribune " has been running daily In Its columns for several months past. Several ot the New York dallies have excellent cable letters from London and sometimes other European capitals in their Sunday issues, but they appear as a rule only once a week, the brief dispatches which they ret on the other days of the week not amount ing; to muds in tha way of an Intelligible and. adequate presentation of European mews. The Chicago Tribune's foreign service, signed "Grace Cornea" from Paris and " H. J. Whigham " from London, taking it all the weesi around. Is a lone way ahead of the foreign news service of any of the Hew York papers. One or two of the New York papers- rtwe had for years a deservedly high. rcDUtation for presenting tberr readers with news of In terest from foreign parts, and the public will not forget its indebtedness to them on that account. But it Hf beyond dispute that the star .of lournallsm' 1 Westward taking, its way. 'and that the Jovraefism of Chicago Is beginning to be tha metropolitan Journalism of the present, and will certainly be. rf things move as they nr moving now, the metro poll tan journalism of the future. . We do not generally. If at all. approve the' politics of T The Chicago. Tribune." but, a-part from its politics, it iRj. fu our opinion; superior to any of the New Tforh papers,. Not only is its for eign news service' tfhe besf m the United States but its horojef news servioe covers the: country with a fullness to which the New York papers are strangers. " The Tribunes ,K edition last Sunday must have caused aualm of envy to the journalists of New York. It was a Journalistic effort to, which hitherto nons ot tha Gotham papers haa beeu eaual..
