She started violently, and then
laughed through iter tears.
"I hurt my iinger with a thorn
and it made me cry."
"Let me extract the thorn," I
said, putting my arm around her
waist, "And I came back to say
that I was tired of "make believe"

I said good-by again and went to
see Fred.
"By the way, Ben," he said, now
you are going, . I think I shall pro

"f wouldn't, Fred," said 1 ; "for

506,000 bu barley.
Four vessels are expected to arrive
at Portland witbin sis weeks for car
of wheat. They will take away
iwtween 150,000 ami 160,000 bnsliels,
and these cargoes will have to be pur
i based. Otlier vessels are also report
ed on the way to the same port, with
wnat trutn we cannot say, but hope
t he report may prove true.
Tin; amount ot wheat still in the
bauds of the producers in the Willam

It is stated that there is sufficient ton
age in. and to arrive, at the port of
Sau Francisco to carry away all the
-urplus wheHt long before the new
rrop is harvested.
It is asserted that it takes a vessel
longer to cross the Columbia river bar,
0 whig to the bad pilotage system there,
1 hau 7t does to make the trip from
I lonolulu to the bar. Were it not for
this fact, it is believed there would be
no difficulty in obtaining sufficient ton
age to transport all the surplus grain
of the State to market before the new
crop is ready for harvest.

The committee appointed at a meet
ing of farmers In Salem on the 25th of
January, to prepare an address to the
farmers of the State, met on Monday,
Feb. 3d, and Mr. T. W. Davenport uot
being present, Mr. T. L. Davidson was
chosen to All the vacancy. After due
deliberation, the committee united In
the following
ADDRESS.
Frlloir Ftirtrtrrit of (heimti :
The undersigned were appointed a
committee at the Farmers' Meeting in
Salem, .Ian. 25th. to address you
through the papers of the State, upon
the subject ot organization tor the pro
tection of our mutual interests and for
shipping purposes.
We regret our inability to do justice
to so great a trust, out ttie past year s
experience In respect to our commer
cial relations lias satisfied us that the
hope of Oregon depends upon the or
ganization ot the tillers of the soil. If
we want the country prosperous, the
waste places redeemed, the solitudes
inhabited, our homes improved, our
prospects brightened, and our calling
dignified, we must do something to
stani,eiear ot tbe rings who nave com
bined to steal from us our hard and
honest earnings.
We need not state to you. now, their
acts ; most of yon are familiar with
tliein. The question is, Will you
tamely submit and let the country go
to ruin, or will you rise like men and
show yourselves equal to the occasion?
Single handed we can do nothing ; or
ganized, yon can ship your own sur
plus and realize all it will bring in a
foreign market, except the cost of
transportation, insurance, and com
mission. This, we can confidently as
sure you, will secure to you a better
price for your products than you can
iwssibly realize without it.
Had such an organization been in
existence the present year, it would
have saved to Oregon a million of dol
lars, enough to have purchased ten of
the best ships sailing upon the seas,
and in five years enough to export all
our surplus and import all our foreign
commodities.
It may seem an ideal thing to unite
the farmers of this Slate in a common
bond of union, but look abroad over
our country and see the unions of mon
eyed men' to carry forward gigantic
projects, and which in time will cover
our whole country as a net work, more
despotic in their power than the great
est monarch of earth, grinding the
farmers to the dust as the veriest slaves.
Moneyed men accumulate millions in
a few short years, and yet the farmers
ot our land grow poorer every day.
Their soil is wearing out. their im
provements are going down, and out
of abundance they are in want.
The great law of nature is, "You
must help yourselves." Farmers of
Oregon, once more we would say, "Or

Believing that an effective organiza

good and satisfactory results iu some

ouly through a State Board, whose bus
iness it will be to look after the matter,
ami also that you need a County Board,
we would recommend that when you
are assembled iu County Conven
tion, each county choose a County
Board of officers to consist of a Presi
dent, Vice President. Recording Sec
retory, Coirespondiiig Secretary, and a
Treasurer, and that you send these of
ficers to the State convention at Salem
called to meet on Thursday the 10th ot
April, and with them, one additional
delegate for each precinct or club in
the county willing to go into the or
ganization. We would also recommend perma
nent organization in every precinct in
the counties, and as you 'will always
liave some local questions to settle,
such as storing grain and tlie collection
of statistics of your surplus, that will
lie subject to the order of your State
Board, and that tbe precincts meet on
March 15th. and the county conven
tion. March 28th.
Tbe committee have thought it best
to change the dales of meeting, to give
you time to organize.
1 lie clnhs already organized n tbe
State an; specially recommended to
take an active iit in this matter.
All the editors of the State are cor
dially invited to aid this enterprise as
much as their good will will penult by
publishing this appeal for a farmers'
union, or extracts from It.
