WitKRiua, It is mtot and proper that we,

the reward of "public tiast" faithfully pre
pared, and the uuties of one of the worlds
greatest military oommandcrs administered

Last Sunday morning several boys liv
ing about three miles from Brownsville,
who had boon working iu the harvest Held
late Saturday nljht, went in bathing in
tho Call pools. Among tho number was
Ed. Cornea, a brother of Mrs N I) Conn,
of this city, aged 18 years, Ner the op
posite ide of tho Call pool i was a snag.
After baingdn a few minutes young Comes
and to hit companions, "I expect I
would bo drowned if I were to try to
swim around that snag," and then struck
out for tha s.iag, going arouod it and get
ting back ai! tight ; but on a second trial
just as he nested the oppsaite bank be
suddouly struggled, ovideutly complete
ly exhausted, and sank. A couipaulon
tried to retch him but was not experienc
ed enough to render any assistance. Help
was obtsined, and, tbo wster being still.
the b-idy of tbe young man was soon
found, lhe funeral ner virus took place
ou Monday wheu the body of tho unfor
tunate vouns man was laid to rel In the
Claypool cemetery at Uock Creek.
Tbe affair canned universal sorrow in
tbe community. Just a week previous
Sammy Rice, a close neighbor and a com
panion of Kd. Comes had beu killed as
nam ed in the last Dsuccaar. On tbe
Monday previous young Comes had at
tended hit funeral, innocent cf tbe fact
that be was but a week hence to play
ike part In tbe history of tbe c immunity.

IOWA I.IHTORS
Hoalterlng Iowa papers oontinue to ar
rive at the Dkmoi.mat offlco. On our out
side will be found several comments nnd
below we give more. While other papers
of the Northwest have only received not
much more than half a doxen papers In
all, the Dkmociiat has received between
one aid two hundred, Homo wonder at
this. Tbe fact Is it was only brought
about by a stroke of enterprise, '1 he giv
ing of our readers the largo amount of
comments from the papers of lows Is uni
versally appreciated by tho readers of
this paper :
"Well, what do you think of tho North
west," Is the question tbst has been pro
pomiod to hs tunes in numerable slnoo our
return. It Is a wonderful oounlrv and
has great things in store for tbe future.
Tbe climate Is line, tbe soil Is productive
and Its scenery Is grand. Its forests are
Inexhaustible and its mineral wealth is
not known, The society Is of the very best
and thero Is uot that frontier appearance
among the people that one would expect
to tlud so far west. Many people wonder
why a country with such advantages of
(Mi mate nd so great resources Is so aparsn
ly settled, but that Is easily explained. It
has only been a very short time since that
country was readily accessible to the people
ottl.o "States." It Is true they raise groat
crops of wheat out there but there Is not
much profit in that. Dlverallled farming
la what is needed to make it profitable.
Tbe labor problem U a great question for
the people out there. The Ciilniesn are
there in all their glory and If any of Ottf
readors have evtsr entertained tho Idea
that they are a pomeouled sot we are satis
fied a vUlt to Portland would chanue your
opinion, The couutry needs the indus
trious laboring man who Is not afraid to
lake off his cost and goto work. Labor
will do more to develop tho great resour
co of the north weal than wealth, tor labor
is tho source of all wealth. Iowa would
never have attained her present greatness
had it not been for tbe sturdy plonocr,pKr
financially, but rich in Indomitable pluck
and physical manhoodand these are
thy who will convert the ricti ami reniio
valleys or mo t'aciuc nonuwesi mm nap
py homes and eventually into rich and
prosperous communities, "Montezuma
Kcpublioan."
Tho following from lbs "Dairy and
Farm Journal" Is one of lhe fairest com
ment wo have yet aeen on Oregon, as
compared to Iowa :
Their valleys will product, anything
that can be raised In Iowa or Illinois or
any other stste, ami without irrigation In
many places. They have as gosi a fruit
country as can bs found on the globe, for
anything except a few of the tropical va
rieties. They have the finest tisb that
swim In wttr ; they have untold wealth
treasured in the mouatains ; they have
graxlng land that equal or surpass our
tame pastures ; they have pine foraats that
will require ages to exhaust ; they have
good water, and a climate which iu many
respects excels any other on tbo PaciUc
slope. Iowa as an agricultural state can
not be surpassed in tbe world, It Is a
beautiful country to look at, fertile In
every part, anu is tho admiration of all
eastern people who eater her borders,
She toetJi of her public tnstl'utlons, her
schools, her churches, her intelligence
and her society ; la fact It would seem
that we poaaeaa iu this state everything
heart could desire to make ua a bappv
and prosperous people. But with all of
these blessing we have some drawbacks,
a few of which we think are very serious,
and detract very greatly from the com
forts aad enjoyments of lite. Tbe climate
Is one of the most serious lo man and
beast . The live or six mouths winter tell
their own story. A plentiful supply of the
various kinds of fruit Is a luxury which
the people of Iowa can never expect to
enjoy. These and many ether disadvant
ages) are ovetcoine In a measure on the
Northern Pacitlc lope Tbey hsve a
climate which is adajxed to stock raising,
frutt culture, and agriculture. Such a
thing as extreme colu and heat is not
kuowu, Tbey can grow anything in the
alleys we can, ami many things to great
er perfection. Ihey oao buy anything
they want (providing tboy have the
money, which will hold itood In Iowa.)
They have good school, churches, end
society, then why la it not a good country
for emigration T Improved lends are
cheaper than in Iowa, and plenty of gov
ernment lend can lie had by guiog tmck
of the older settlements, away from rail
roads. Every inducement is offered that
sny country can offer to young men of
small means to go snd block out a homo
while the opportunity offera. It Is a piece
for men of means whether they vaut to
enter Into the active pursuits of life or to
retire from business and enjoy the pleas
ures of this wonderland. It has not been our
Intention to overdraw the advantages and
resources of this new country, but to give
It a good report based on our own obser
vation and tbe Information obtained from
conveialng with old settlers. Our advice
to tbe prospective emigrant is to go and
see for yourself. You will never regret It
even should you be unfavorably impress
ed with the country. Tbe tr p Is a grsud
one, a panorama grand and picturesque,
ef plains, mountain rang-s, canyons, cas
cades, valleys and snow capped peaks
will be continually unfolded to you from
tbe tune you embark on the IT. 1'. to Ibe
end of your journey.

Now, how is that for a genuine, live "send

It is said, and not without good reason
that the climate of the Pacitic Coast is the
grandest in the world. Its curative proper
ties in many diseases has become noted
When we speak of the climate of Oregon
alone we include a great variety of tempera
ture, as great in number as the altitudes o
the valleys, canons and table lands that make
up the State. Here one can find in tbe radius
of a few uuhs almost auy climate he may
want, for though in his shirt sleeves the
perspiration may drop from his face he can
at the same time gazj upon tbe refreshing
scenes of suow -capped mountains. Though

V It is all very well to preach diversitlo I
farmtnc Too .rote: illy it is the correct
thing. Practically it is not to any great ex
tontin Oregon. Wo might os well knowl
edge the truth. Wheat is about the only pro
duct that can be depended on for a sore
market Irisd fruit for a certain amount can
be slaughtered. Stock has a limited sale, and
the same may bo said of pork. Hay has a
I market for nnly a certain amount and few
thing can he mentioned, about which the
opposite can le si I. Were all to combine
these things they would simply be cutting
their own throats. They could not get their
products ofT their ban Is. Kyren the little
srnouut of butter now raised during the
Soring and Summer mouths can not all find
purchasers. This will not always be so, but

and wo might as well acknowledge that, as a
rule the Willamette Wiley farmer will have
to depend on his whet whitever the price
for it may bo. Thero aro probably individual
cases where a farmer c in mix things up ; but
as a rule wheat will hive to bs the principal
product. Most of the Iowa editors have cried
out that what Oregon wants is divorsili.i I
(arming ; but tbey know little about our
markets and less what thus are talking about
ou this subject.

The flaming cl reus posters of John

man about townsf the first circus he

ff Albany could only have some bears
on It streets we would have a Wall
Afreet with Its stock exchanges of eou

H is the duty of property owners to
keep up their own side walks tn such a
nanncr. that they will be fit to walk on.
Mora pride should be taken in this
matter, It gives a place tone to hve
fir ot. respectable looking walks. It ia
not pleasant to tear ones shoo from to
to heel on refractory nails with high
reaching heads, nor I there any poetry
in being seat head long to tbe ground
by having a loose board fly up against
ones shin. Noiree.

I have heard more than one case tbe

naturally makes one mad to be misrep

do not have any more water fall here
than in Iowa. The only difference is
that we get it in a different shape.
Our rains are what make Oregon. An
old liar said that every thing molded
here and there is moss on every house,
i tb Migrant mis-statements. There is
no nmre mold here than in moot states
and moes can uot be found ex ;ept en
extremely old bouses, and that 1 tbe
case tiearly everywhere.
