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." '

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

quite so much to wheat farming. A
small capital intelligently devoted
to such an industry . will without
question, be a paying investment.

, - Care of the Orchard,
The pawt year, with its unusual cli-:
matic conditions, has been marked' by a
signal neglect of tillage operations in the
orchards of the state. 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. Oregon Agri

Dewey Married.
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

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

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..
