Grant's Paes Courier. The forty canneries of the Columbia river, most of which are located at and near As toria, are all about in shape for the seasons business. A few weeks ago the outlook wae extremely bad. It is by no means good yet, but the warlike attitude of several na tions has put the cannerymen in a better humor, and they are all going to risk anoth er pack.

The farmers of Oregon and Washington have concluded that wheat must bring a dollar a bushel, and refuse all offers at less than that. There is said to be a good deal -of wheat in the country yet unsold, but whoever gets it -will have to pay for it. The same speculative epirit prevails at all the great wheat centers, and the European war was probably discounted during the tint few days of the excitement consequent upon the commencement of hostilities. Farmers, however, must be Careful and not hold on too long.

Men and boy's shoes and boots at cost at Whitney's do ting aui sale. by a great political crisis, when the duty and privileges of citizens are being discussed and agitated as never before, it would be well to think seriously of the boys who are coming to the front and will soon be the actors in such dramas as the one enacted last fall iu the sight of fifty millions of peo ple. "As the twig is bent the tree is in clined." This saying is ample truth known from the begining. We often hear people say the best parents have the worst sons, but this is false. It is an old slander refut ed a thousand times, that the sons of minis ters are the wildest in the parish, one prod igal from the parsonage makes more talk and Scandal than a dozen among the people. It remains true in spite of the sneers of a censorious world, that the home life is the atmosphere in which the foundation of char acters is laid, and the parent is responsible for the principles which the son imbibet, i , . , .a i , t j wnue yet neneatn tne parental rooi, aim which moulds, in a great degree, the char acter for life. I am writing these lines to fathers and mothers, teachers, guardians, and to all who have the opportunity aud the power to impress upon the minds and hearts of children and youth, that moral purity of life and heart is essential to the characters of a good citizen. Integrity, courage, truthfulness, all should be taught aa essential in the character of a good citi zen. Growing up to manhood without le- gard to truth, there is no vice into which he may not fall, for the sheet anchor of an up right life is lost, and he drifts at the mercy of storm; and waves. Want of truthfulness implies weakness as well as wickedness, and without courage and fortitude a tempted man falls into the first trap that is set for him, as lying begins in cowardice, and is the refuge of one who is afraid of the consequences if he tells the truth, so oourage is a virtue to be taught and always to be held in honor, espeeiaity if the child is of a timid disposition, and he yields easily to discouragements and fears. Hrace him up. The martyr spirit does not run in the blood f all of us. But the youth may be trained to stand fire. Boys should grow early into manliness in duty and dan ger, coming to the wrong and sticking to the right, in the face of reproach, or loss, or even death itself. There is not much martyr stuff now to he had, there never w is t o much of it in this world anywhere, but the good citizen mu-t have enough of it to uphold the . ight and when he has do:ie all to stand. Boys need more lessons on stability and bravery, on moral courage, that they may dare to do right, that they may not be driven or coaxed into evil ways. The greatest deficiency in the character of the boy and young man of to-day is want of reverence for those older, wise aud su perior. Indifference to parential authority contempt of law and order, a spirit that laughs at restraints and scorns to obey, is the features of the times, and this respect this reverence is the first lessonto be taught the child iu the cradle and impressed on him till he has attained manhood. The country needs citizens who are true hearted followers of Hi in who is the pattern of all that is noble, generous and good. n m EC CO u3 8 R 00 : CO CD S3 CJ c3 O 9 93 -2 o Q o W5 K H 3!
