FRIDAY JUNK 24, 1881
As indictment against the alleged
murderer of the sultan, Abdul Ariz, ha
leen drawn up.
Another claimant ot the Tich borne
estate in Kuglnnd has come to the
front at San Francisco. (.Jen. W. II. L.
Barnes, of that city, champion him.
About the "cheekiest" thing we
have noticed lately is the Orejonitm
taking Democrats to task fur not voting
for its candidates for office at the Port
land city election.
The Evening Teleuram at Portland
has again changed local editors and W.
A. McPherson, and 11. M. Clinton are
now at the helm. It is one of the l8t
local fliers in Portland.
On the 9th inst. Fredrick Dilling
resigned the Presidency of the North
ern Pacific Railroad. A. H. Barney
was elected president pro tees. T. F.
Oakes, Vic; President, and Henry
Villard, Director.
H. C. Paige, who was charged with
robbing Wells, Fargo and Cos. Kx press
in Eastern Oregon, had bis trial at
Pendleton last week and was acquitted.
Two other indictments stood against
him, hut both were dismissed last Mon
day on motion of the District A ttorney.
The Republican organization in
Portland is now in the hants of the
"machine" men, and by next year they
will have things arranged so that the
Multonomah delegation in the LsgtaJe
tnre will go solid for Mitchell. The
election at Portland last Monday was
the first move in the game between the
Mitchell and Ore-jonian wings which
will end witb the Senatorial fiyht next
year.
V it y .
rrora the wsv the ifejonuni
growls it is very probable it has been
sat dowu iqon bard.
Grast's outspoken condemnation cf
tbe administration has added force to
the wbisperins that stalwart congress-
. 1 8
men will after Congress meeU ants on-
ize the administration. The talk Irithor-
to seems to have come from disapiioint-
ed office seekers, but Giant's oien oi-

The annual city election at Portland
occurred last Monday, and was vary
cl08elv contested As usual the two
wings of the Republican party could
not unite. One wing organized what
L - they called a citizens Committee, which
I placeti iu nomination a ticket made up
of both Democrats and Republicans,
iresdd witb D. P. Thompson for .Mayor.
This ticket was championed by lsth
the Ore'jonuin and Standanl, which the
'
same was rather a curious freak even
for politics. The Republican "ma
chine" pluced in nomination a Mraigl t
nck-et with Joe Htmon at the head ftr
Mayor. 1 he result is that the "stab
jr. The result is that the "stab
warts, or machine RepnbUrana get
the Mayor, Treasurer and one of the
four Councilmen. It is amusing to
read the riewnpaja-r accounts of the
election. The managers on either side
are charged with bribery, corruption,
fraud, and everything else tbat u bad,
and we ave rather inclined to the belief,
that each party could substantiate its
chsrsrea, Portland citv nolitic.8 are dc-

Aliuxy, Juno 20th, 1881.
Editors l'rmocrat :
An exlitorial in the A litany VrrW. of
the 16th begins ith these words
"Curry Comb" in last weeks DXSOORT,
accuses us of inconsitcney in our politic
al "views." This is quite a mistake.
That the Herald is inconsistent in its
"political ricwn" is too patent to need
a half dozen word to prove much Ml
a half column article, and Curry Comb
would never thrink of bestowing ho
much time to prove that wh'eli beads
no proof. In the article nfcied toby
the Herald I simply directed attention
to the inconsistency in the resent prac
tice!', with the former pp. fi ssion , of
President Garfield in tlm civil lervioe
administration, as the following pnia
gr.ij'lt will show. "Now in the lilit of
the disclosure of this republican uros
pondent of a republican paper, as o the
bestowal of federal patronage in Virgin
ia, and the facts as to the New York
appointments there i-i a lamentable
wont of harmony." Nor did I in that
article pretend that the Ht-mhi's Editor
indorsed the disclosures of his Washing
ten correspondent or appr ved the sets
therein disclosed, so I do not fell t, all
"cdi fiett" bv his utlenmt at mv "ediliea
tion."
But, the Herald , EJitor has since
seen a New Yolk Hendd some when',
and says it has "made a careful inves
tigation of the Buhject" (the Virginia
spK)intmen(.v) and finds that "there
were but a few insigniltcient appoint
ments made at the solicitation of Sena
tor Mahono and his olitieal trends."
If president Cat field "is justified became
the Virginia apjointment.s wore. m ami
iuiti'i)lfli'Uiit that servunt girl should
have been pardoned when she protest
ed that the result of her sin was "mai
little tlniKj." And if the fferttfd
E liter is correct I was not mistaken
in my communication "of the 5th when
f said that "President Garfield is
siuiply discharging jnditical obligations,"
for he clearly admits it in his attempt
to appologise for these Virginia ap
pointments. He shvs "the State party
which ho (Mahone) represented was
entitled to the sympathy of the republi
can administration in their florts to

Progressive acricuituro must in
the future depend more upon in
divklipil effort and cooperative
moasures among farmers themselves
than upon govermetit or State aid.
Farmers must put ihejr shoulders to
the wheel of progress, and, through
associated effort, improve their condi
tion by taking advantage of the'less
ons of wisdom gained through the
experiences of their brother farmers.
It is a waste of power and progress
when a farmer lives and works like a
hermit, neither communicating with
his fellowmeu, to report the results of
his experience or to b! benefited by
the results of the observation and e.v

ships suitable for the wheat trade, ami
theee are (irmly held at full rates.
There has boon good itiquiry for tonnage

and it is probablo that at least one of
the vessels in the discharged list will be
closed today. Reports from tho inter
ior regarding the wheat crop, are very
favorable, and indications point to a
larger yield than was looked for a month
ago. it is certain that the cool, showery
weather of the past fortnight has been
of the greatest lamefit to late sown grain.
New wheat lias already commenced
coming forwatd in small tpiautities, ami
by tire first of next rne::th receipts will

some points which would bo of interest
to our Ifioers. Strolling into the

present protMet in this section was
a very good omymd bopnd that nothing
would interfere between this and har
vest. In regard to u liettor price, he
said it was a very ditlicult question to
answer. It would depond largely of
course on the price d height ami tho
general yield of the wheat crop in other
wet ions. From present indications he
did not think the crop in tho United
Stales would be as largo as usual this
yeM which would naturally havo a
tendency to bring prices up some. As
to tlm lonnene OjnootioB ho was of the
impression that tho present rates and
those which had t ided this season could
not possibly lm kept QB thiough
another season. They have Irecn too
high altogether, and 1 1 - - carrying trade
wouhl be very profitable at Tos. or 00s.

as a miller, I should be glad to buy
wheat at the present rates my advice
to fanners who are able to do so, is to

Another of our prominent miller's,
when asked if he could tell us nnything
that would interest the wheat growers
replied that he f it very hoM-ful ovei
the prosjKTcts of a gKd crop which
were at pnsent as g-nel ns he hail ever
eeu at thin wanon. As to a letter
price, he thought that was one of the
haphfit piestiotiH we could ask him.
A riee in price depended ujain so many
things all of w hich were mora or hs
uncertain that any attempt to expranj
an opinion now munt lm mere gmsu
work. Tho lejiorts of grow ing crojai
from all parta of the I'nited StiiUu
and Bnrone are so contradictory that
it is difficult to form much of an idea
as to whether the wheat crop of the
world this year will I mi larger or smaller
than uaoai. If the loatrejiorts I have
uie corn et th re i: in ' all protn

I Milt "H.
i ' i l"t thin, i com motion
lo ins who are roMonsihlo for the low
price of whea the valley birmrrs have
i ( . ived thin year. They are not satis
fied wilh a fair urn mission but take
the advantage by raising tonnage rates,
and there ln-ina no conuetition
or opiKiaition the furraer ia entirely
at their mercy. Junt ao long aa wo
bave no competition just so lone
we may oxpi-et the present atato of af-
fars as rogan a high freights to continue
If we can jet another outlet for tho
products of this valley, wliare tho grain
carrying ships can come and load, then
wo may exect to get charteraat reason
able ratea. There is a rumor now that
the Yaquina Pay railroad is to bo
pushed forward at Once, and if this is
done and the harbor opened to permit
of largo sea coin g vessels loading there
the problem of cheap freights will be
solved for this valley. It is the only
hope I have for the future and I be
lieve it to be a stiong one. Auothcr out
let to the acaboanl is what muy be
called one of tho natural necessities of
this section ami it is only a question of
timo when wo shall have it. I do not
believe that time long in tho future.
As to the price of wheat this fall I am
ot tho opinion that it will certainly lie
no less than it is, and there are some
things which point ? a latter price.
Asa miller of course I would like to
buy wheat cheap, u (though in (ho long
run the relative profits on flour made
from high or low priced wheat is about
the same thing, and tho bigb prion for
wheat places tho farmer in better shape
and of course when the farmer is doing
well every body is doing well.
Again we visited another pi eminent,
wheat man and showing him note-book
and pencil proposed that ho should "un
load" what loose information lit was in
tos8esHiou of concerning tho prico of
wheat and tlm general out-look for th
coming fall. Without hesitation he
told us he could give us no light on the
subject, that would be cf much service.
Again we were told that it was a very
dilficult thing to prophesy ao far ahead.
We wanted no prophecy but an opin
ion, and made up our mind where tlie
digging was so hard tlmte mint be
good metal if wo could only reach it.
Hero is about what, wo succeoded iu
drawing out : The prospects are on
the whole favorable for a be'ter price.
The crop will be a failure in some sec
tions and no where does it promise to
be ovcran average yield. Experience
proves that repoi ts coining in at this
season are generally pretty accurate
precursors of the yield at harvest timo.
It is now only about four to six weeks
befoie harvesting will commence in all
tho great wheat raising districts of the
world. From all of these we get al
most daily reports and although there
are contradictious and doubtless mis
representations from at ions causes,
yet on the whole thev foreshadow the
situation, aa I have said, pretty correct
ly. Basing an estimate on these re
ports and the wheat crop of the world
is not in quite as promising a condition
as at thistime last year. This of course
will tnoie or leas affecl tho general
pride of wheat. What we m od locally
is better transmit at ion facilities and
less inonojMily. Portland ban tis bett
nifd in and wo are almost entirely at
tho mercy of a few firms there who con
trol charters of vessels iu which grain
is carried to market. The feeling
against them is Incoming very strong,
and if they could but be made to foe it
their jsiliey will surely react, upon
them. People am too intelligent, to
submit to such hoggish oppreeeiofl as
hus aheraeteriaed tho tonnage and
wheat market at Portland for the last
fow yeaui.
"What is tho remedy T" we anked,
and were told again that it laid in com
petition freo and ndbpendetd com
petition in tho carrying trade.
We weio beginning to believe that
Meont petition in the eirrying trade'
waa about what Wf needed to Ion ; up
the price of wheat and generally to
put the valley counties tijKm a belt 1
hailing. It is haul to believe how
strong rooted the impression bee be
come among those best qualified lo look
at lliemi questions in a fair manner.
Meeting another gentleman prominent
ly connected with the grain and mill
ing business we accosted him with the
same impiiry. lie replied that he was
very bopeful for the corning fVII and
thought he had good reasons for he
lieving that our farmeis would receive
a satisfactory price for wheat. iregon
wheat, ami more especially wheat
raised in tho Willamette is gaining an
excellent reputation abroad. It usually
brings a bolter price than Other wheal
and each year it is becoming battel'
known. The newspapers are talking
alaiiit it some, and more especially in
the question of tonnage for this coast
recoi ving considerable attention. While
for the past few years we have l-eti sul
jeet to the re chartering game I do not
much think it will le carried quite to
aaeh an extent iu the future as iu the
neih New houses uie coming into
Portland, the prosjsts are g end f:'
more favorable transportation facilities
and generally the outlook for this val
ley in a very favorable one. As to
farmers holding wheat over until an
other fall it is a question on which it is
ban! to ofler any advice. Tho f-xcne
of carrying it over is considerable, rmd
while 1 look for an advance in the price
it m.iy not bo sullicient fj justify th
additional ; use.
In addition to tho aliove wr ropy
from a Ualifrnia exchange the follow
ing figures la-ai ing on tlm wheat crop
and tonnage qentiona as ulb-ct ing that
