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.
