ISSUED KVKItY FRIDAY MORXINO BT SUBSCRIPTION RATL8 IerYear 2 00 Six Months 1 W three Months 9 ffiogle Copies Year (when not paid in advance!. z 60 There is evidently much genu ine trutl and reality in the alleged shortage of wheat, when the price jumps to $1.0B, $1.10 and $1.14 and $1.18 in Chicago, as it did for December delivery Saturday. The stock gamblers are determined to control the market this year more absolutely than . ever before; but it will be strange it some of them are not dead cocks in the pit finan cially, before snow flies. Young man, do you ever think of that portion ot our great coun try lying in and beyond the moun tains, stretching away to the shores of the Pacific? Of its magnificent valleys and grand mountains; ot its rivers and lakes; of its mines of silver and gold, the richest in the world; of its mountains of iron, and extensive coal field; of its boundless plains where roam countless numbers of cattle and cattle and sheep; of its grand for ests of timber, the finest in the world? Here is food for reflec tion. AVhere will you pitch your tent. "Over the dusky mountains. In the vale that lies between. Where the storm clouds meet and battle. Where the sunlight broods sereue." Ex. Thk recent decision of the Uni ted States courts puts $14,000,000 into Edison's pocket. What will he do with it? Never before has a decision brought such an inun dation of wealth. Edison sued a company which had been using his invention, and after six years of litigation he has triumphed. The defendants were making normous profits, which they must now turn over to the fortunate electrician. Edison is the richest inventor the world ever saw. Some ingenious calculators have been trying to figure up his in come, and they have reckoned the different inventions until they are tired, without touching bottom. It would not be surprising if they were almost as large as Jay Gould's. Wealth, indeed, is flow ing in with incredible volume, and this decision is worth $14,000,000. There is one invention, however, which defies Edison's skill, and that is how to cure deafness. No doubt Edison, as soon as he heard of the above decision, would have turned over all it brought him for restoration of hearing. The un fortunate man is so deaf that he he cannot enjoy the benefit of his great prosperity. How often, in deed, the most splendid success is embittered by some disaster which becomes the more painful because f the impossibility of relief. r The "green goods" men are reaping a harvest on the Pacific coast, this being about the only section whera fools and money seem to be associated at the pres ent time. It is, almost like talk ing to little children to warn peo ple against this swindle, and yet the number of persons caught by it shows that the warning is need ful". Every intelligent person ought to'know by this time that lie cannot buy counterfeit green-Backs- and that all offers to sell liim such stuff are efforts to get him in a position where he can be robbed. The Dersous who send out "green goods" circulars do not Teafin counterfeit money, but use good money as a baic, and when the victim has paid the purchase price they palm off upon hint a package of worthless' paper. This is done in various ways and it makes no difference how clever the victim may be, or think him self, the final result is always the same the loss of his money. It fs not sympathy for the defrauded purchaser of "green goods" that ;vtkofi such a warning as this nd- viseable, for a man who will bite at these circulars is both a fool and a knave; a looi oecause ne swal lows the bait and a knave because he does so with the dishonest pur pose of getting fraudulent money with which to cheat his fellow citi zens and break the law, and lie richly deserves the lesson he learns; but a desire to break up such a vicious business and pre vent the prosperina ot such con scienceless rascals as the "green goods" men, is the motives lor publishing an expose ot their methods. Oregonian. A "FRUIT PALACE." Oregon producers seem to have awakened to a realizing sense ot the fact that, in order for the pro ducts of their fields, gardens and orchards to become known, sam ples of these must be suitably dis played in public places. The pio neer process of ranging red cheek ed apples, mammoth squashes, huge turnips and monstrous beets on shelves and tables at the state fair was good as far as it went, and it may be said to have gone far enough at the time when the mar kets of Oregon were stinted and everybody in the state went to the fair. It has been discovered, late ly, however, that these things must be arranged to produce an artistic effect; that originality and ingenuity must be exercised in this display, if our agriculturists ex pect to become known and com pete with those ot other sections in a common market. California has for years shown wisdom in putting her products forward and calling attention to them. As a result California fruits, grains, grasses, vegetables, minerals, etc., are known in East ern as well as Northwestern mar kets. Oregon's products that have worked their way into these mar kets are known in many instances as California productions, the lat ter state appropriating what credit has attached to them and profiting thereby. The Placer county fruit car, recently exhibited in this city, which has been on its travels for the past 6i'x weeks, is an illustra tion of the energy shown by Cali fornians in letting the public know something of their products. Ore gon has, it is true, done something in this line in the past, or more properly speaking a few public spirited Oregonians have done something, a car made up and equipped in this city several years ago having attracted much atten tion in the cities of the middle West. The Marion County Fruit Grow ers' Association has under con sideration a plan for a fruit exhib it at the state fair next month that is commendable. The plan em braces a proposition to erect a building on the fair ground for this exhibit to be called the "fruit palace," the same to be roofed and lined with fruit, artistically ar ranged. Many thousand people, many hundreds at least of whom will be strangers to Oregon's re sources in the fruit line, will be at tracted by a' display at once pleas ing and instructive. The corn palace of Iowa has been for years an attractive feature of the early autumn fairs and festivals of tha state. -Minnesota has drawn the attention of the entire country to the enterprise of her citizens, and furnished amusement to thous ands of strangers several times by the construction of a palace of ice Oregon can make a fruit palace at once the wonder and delight' of visitors and a source of profitable advertisement of one of her rapid ly growing industries by the erec tion of a fruit palace. Let us hope that the plans of the promoters of this enterprise will be carried out on a scale grand enough to display adequately the vast and diversified resources of the 6tate as a fruit growing section. A fruit palace odorous with the concentrated per fumes of a season of rare abund ance; softly tinted by the delicate touches of nature; grandly sug gestive of the possibilities that lie at the door of intelligent industry in" the line ot fruit growing in Ore gon. Let us have one by all means, and let it illustrate as fully as possible the boast that Oregon, if not the greatest, is one of the greatest fruit-growing states in the Union. Oregonian. BIO GRAIN YIELD. The St Paul Pioneer Press, in the first colu mn of its first page under big, scare headlines, the first of which is "An Immense Yield," publishes the news that a Minnesota farmer harvested 43 bushels of wheat per acre from a 15J-acre field. Another report says the crop in a certain locality is the best in eleven years, and the wheat looks good for 30 bushels to the acre. Another re port predicts 25 bushels. An other says the average for one county 'will be 15 bushels at least the heaviest since 1884. In another section it will be from 15 to 18 bushels; in another 18 to 20. These are doubtless good yields for Minnesota, and the first and largest mentioned, very good for any country, but for the size of the field such a crop in various parts of Oregon would not be con sidered worth mentioning. Scores of large fields from 40 to 160 acres each in the Willamette valley and in Eastern Oregon will yield this year from 35 to 45 bushels. One man last week re ported a yield of 53 bushels an acre, and didn't brag much about it. Yet Minnesota and the Dakotas along with the Pacific Northwest and other parts of the country will raise an immense aggregate crop this year.- The Pioneer Press estimates " that the yield in the three states will be of wheat 150,- 000,000, oats 116,000,000, corn 51,000,000, and other grains in esser amounts, the total value be ing about $200,000,000, of which over $150,000,000 worth will be for export. Telegram. Alfalfa is destined to revolu tionize farming, because it will produce three tons of feed for stock where one is now grown. A field of alfalfa commences to grow two months before our na tive grass and grows two months longer. When cut and cured for hay it retains its superior fine quality, which is relished by the stock. It produces three times as much to the acre as our native grass, and twice as much as clover. BAD ECZEMA ON BABI Head one Solid Sore. Itching: Awful. Bid to Tie His Hands to Cradle.
