The Pacific States. In requesting me to write open the "The Unlimited Resources of the Pacific States" The World gives me a limitless subject. It by the Pacific States is meant all that vast empire west of the Rocky Mountains, the mere mention of the re sources and possibilities would fill a bulky volume. I shall, therefore, pass with the barest reference the measure less mineral and agricultural wealth, the development of which is barely begun' of those inland Pacific States which will at no distant day blossom like the rose. under the influence of irrigation and in creasing markets, and confine my re marks mainly to the three (treat states which are washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. . : Here is an empiie which is rapidly becoming a paradise, with a present population of only a few millions, and yet with a marvellously fertile soil and unlimited mineral riches, embracing an area greater than that of France, Great Britain and Ireland and the whole of the six New England states combined, with their population of nearly 75,000.000. When one contemplates the matchless climate and other . incomparable natural advantages one can easily imagine the wonderful future that is in store for this garden empire of the world. Add to this the vast domain of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Western Montana, and we have a territory exceeding in area Great Britain, France, Spain, the German Empire and Austro-Hungary combined, which support well nigh 200,- 000,000 of sou Ia. The Paeific states are but in the very infancy of their development. It is less than half a century since their real set tlement began. It may ba said that there wan no permanent development evident nntil transcontinental railroads were built and great transoceanic and interoceanio steamship lines were estab lished. Take, for instance, the wbeat glowing industry in my own State of Oregon . About twenty years ago only I left the Central Pacific Railroad neai Salt Luke and journeyed westward through Northern Utah and Eastern Or egon. -The first wheat of any import ance was grown in Oregon that year There was a three acre lot near where the town of Weston, Umatilla county, now is, and immediately off the Uma tilla Indian reservation. The crop had been harvested before my arrival. The etubbie being so abundant I was amazed and expressed surprise to my .beet, with whom I remained over night, that there should be snch a fertile epot in this vast desert, as the whole country seemed to n?a to be little les than a dssert. Be smiled and replied that the t; act on which tfci wheat had grown was of the same character as land of ite whole surround ing country, including the greater por tion of the Umatilla reservation. I obtained a sack, and immediately ouuiJ:: of the field, digging down some six or eight inches, filled it with a peck of Eoil. I biougbt it with me to Wash ington, took it to the late Prof. Henry, then secretary of the Smithsonian In stitute, and requested that be analyse ii. and tell me its properties and what it was good for. "Where did yon get this sail?" he -inquired. I replied, "West of the Rocky Mountains." Frof. Henry remarked, "That is rather indefinite." ' "Bet, Professor," said I, "I shall not tell you whether it came from California, Oregon, the Willamette Valley or the top of Mount Hood." He made me a very interesting report, . in which it was stated that be regarded the soil as the best wheat producing soil he had ever examined ; that it contained nrnnertiea verv ftimilnr in tfmtnf CTmlv where wheat bad been raised for two thousand years without exRaoating the soil. Three years ago I visited Umatilla county and what was formerly Umatilla Indian reservation, and was told that there had heen raietd and harvesteil that year in that county alone over 4,5C0,000 1 Dusbe'a of wheat. This single county now prod area mors . wheat than is produced in any one of .twenty-one States of the Union. The industry of wool-growing is also becom ing a vast one, the State now Laving npward of 2,500,000 sheep and exporting some 19,000,000 pounds of wool annual iy- For alt grains and fruits, except . those of a tropical growth, Oregon and Washington are unlimited in possibili ties. The forests are apparently inex p hacatible, the eatmea fisheries are the greatest in Ihi world. For purposes of commerce Oregon alone has more than four hundred miles of coast, with many land-locked harbors capable of holding the natives of the world. Tile Columbia River is navigable'for s distance of 750 miles. At the falls of the Willamette, at uregon Vi.y, the water force is esti mated at 1,01)0,000 horse power, and there an electric plant has been egtab tithed at an expenditure of millions of dollars, which is utilized in several cities many miles distant. Twenty-five million dollars in gold have been taken oat of mines in the two - counties of Jackson and Josephine, and mines of the whole state are rich in pre cious mentals, as well as n iron, coa', copper and ot'.er minerals.

If the government were called upon to pay all its o'oligationa called for in gold it would have only about one-tenth enough to do it with. On the face of it that is not business. There should be more gold and si'.ver at the back of these obligations. Mr H W UcElmurry spoke a few days ago to the voters of Price precinct at the Trites school house.

It will be repeated in prob ably a bigger dose if vo'ers permit it. Adespesate effort is being made by republicans to make it appear that tariff is the issue, when it is aot. The Wilson bill, thou h for tariff only is hih pro tection as a whole, being oer 4d per cent, while labor ta only about 23 per cent. Under the Wilson bill the rvt- nna will be abundant to pay the expenses of the government as the times improve, and would have been right along, but for the republican policy of extravagance to keep the expense above the receipts The great qaestioa in.tesd is that of money, which will not down, until fully settled. False statements and predic tions cannot keep the fact from the peo ple. Their eyes are opened and they know w hat the real iesoe is. Mrs. Bell, at Ottawa, Oat., for cruel treatment to her grandchildren, was sentenced to life - imprisonment. She pmisbed a girl of 18 and a boy of IS with the most fiendish tortures her ingenuity con Id devise. Strippicg them to the thineet clothing she would soak them in water and compel them to sit before open windows when the temperatcre was sev eral degrees below sera, nntil their attire was frozen stiff. On one occasion the boy was kept at work in the cold, im properly clad, until his clothes were frozen and dropped off. The children were fed victuals mixed with noxious Quids like kerosene, turpentine, and even worse. Holmes with all bu fiendisbnees was never much worse than that. A dispatch says that II. H. Holmes was baptizrd and received into the Cath olic church at Philadelphia. The con demned man went through the cere mony solemn! and silently, and with every evidence of sincerity. One phas. of Holmes' reception into the Catholic cbnrch is of peca'iar interest. Cath olics have impressed npon them from the moment they are received into the church, the fact that no one who dies by his own band can enter the kingdom cf heaven ; bo snicide is now buried in con secrated ground. Holmes, having em braced the Cati.ole faith ao short a time before his execution, has evidently de cided to wait for the gallows rather than attempt self-destruction if be ever con templated it. It is safe to predict that the fiendish murderer of twenty-seven innocent people will never get to heaven if he joins a hundred churches. The democratic papers of Linn county wbich have been charging the repnbl -cans with extravagance in the manaee ment of the county offices, have only to look over the records of tbe county to find that the total expenses of the coun ty during the past two years bavs been over $40,000 less than during tbe two years previous when the offices were filled by democrats.

OuUide of that in stead of remaining stationary there should have been a reduction of ex pensss, as the state legislature rhaiixed tbe fee system to the salary system witn that in view, but it doesn't seem to have had that effect, Compare the last ie -publican administrations indr a repub lican county court with tbe list demo cratic administration under a democratic county court and you will find an in crease under the republicans ol from 25 to 50 per cent in the running expenses ol Linn county.

In view of the scheming character of the republican primaries in Albany the fMinarinv frnm the Salem Journal on primaries generally, under the above head will be read with interest: , The Republicans of California have jret gone tntough the farce of holding primaries. The farce was infinitely worse than the Oregon farce, as conduc ted under the Simon piimary law. This same farce has been conducted in each large city from Maine to California this spring. ; - The struggle for spoits in a presidential rear is something enormous. As each state in the union has protected the bal lot by the iuslralian voting system, the whole struggle for personal advantage is concentrated upon the primaries. They are the weak point in the American sys tem. Tha California lesislature. at the last session, passed a very omplete primary law, but it was knocked out in the su preme court on a technicality, and tin DeoL-la wera thrown baca B-wn the old law of 13bS, under which the politics of the golden state has been corrupted and prostituted for 30 years. Under t js old California act any poll tician can told bis own primaries. So we read of tha Spear primary. Spreckels' primary, this man's primary aud that man's primary. No man can hold a county primary without spending a great deal of mouey. A congressional primary costs the can didate fifty to one hundred thousand dollars. A enatorahi costs a million or more. Spreckels and the corpora tions that collect their money off the people can afford such sums- Under such laws and under such a system the people are helpless, fhia abase of the primaries has become so treat that all honor in politics, all de votion to principle on tha part of poli ticians is a sham. The people don't believe in party as they onr. did. In the name of party the worst abases are Practiced. The worst men are forced noon the public. It is there that the interests of the people are looked after, and the men who look after the esmmon interest are considered demagogues. Silver Will Rule. The "Journal," of Nw yoik, has re ceived from democratic leaders of the legislatures of neatly every etate in the Union their opinion as to the probable strength of silver or gold in their dele gations to the National Democratic Con vention. This canvass ol the men w ho are sloee to the people of their own states seems to show that the West and South will be isrgely for silver, while the East and Midd'e states will declare for gold, or at any rate, agaioec free silver.

Here it is: Because the extensive improvement provided for Yaquina Bay in tbe river and harbor bili, excited the envy, hatred and malice of the S. P. E. E., and Port land, who are, or appear to be, continu ally haunted with the idea that tbe opening: of this harbor means opposition totbeui; hence the defeat of the man who has been chiefly instrumental in the advancement of this new project. Had the sentiments of the people found un biased expression through their delega tions, Hermann would have met with comparatively little opposition.

Do whatever you will, if yon do not pat your digestion in good order, and make your blood rich and pure, you w-il! not get welL Kick, pur- blood is the only thing that can bring perfect health. A large part of all the diseases that afflict mankind are traceable directly blood, and can be cured by eliminating these impurities. That most dreadful of all diseases, consumption, is a disease of the blood. The disease shows in the lungs because of some inherited or acquired weak ness there. If the blood were always pure and without germs, the disease wonld never develop and in time weakness itself would be overcome. Germs and impurities in the Stood float along through the body until they find a weak spot for lodgement I hej stick there and develop and people call the disease by the name of the organ afflicted. As a matter of fact, the disease is always a disease of the blood, and if the blood be purified, the disease will be cured. That is a perfectly natural, rational conclusion, en. dorsed both by common sense and the highest medical authority. It is in accord ance with these facts that Dr. Pierce's tiolden Medical Discovery works. The fret thing it does is to put the whole diges tive system into perfect order. It stimu lates the appetite, excites the copious secre, tion of tbe digestive fluids and promotes assimilation. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be, kills them snd forces them out of the system. The "Golden Medical Discovery' has been used with unvarying success for over 30 jrssrs.
