Chicago, Aug 8. The Tout today
gays: "Acording to reports receiv
ed by railway companies and butd
nees men, the largest wheat crop in
the history of the Uuited Stated
will be harvested within a fortnight.
The winter wheat yield, which ag
gregates from 373,000,000 lo 400,
000,000 will be incrinaeil tu the ex
tent of nearly 300,000,000 from the
spring-wheat region. The 'humter'
crop of 1801 will be eclipsed thin
year by 100,000,000 bushel, from
present indication. Keporta re
ceived from members of the Nation
al Association ot Merchants Ar
Travelers, who are asseinbled here
to attend the fill tneutinz, a (Ford
positive proof, it is declared, that a
necraof propcrity is at hand
through iut the great West, llail
rond olliciiilg who hive j u-tt come
in from extended trips throughout
the spring wheat and corn growing
states, make equally optimistic re
ports. Htato corn reports received
today from Kansas end Missouri
and Michigan say: 'A bumper crop
is here."
Tulare lake, California, which Is
one of the Urge fresh bodies of
water of the United State, is now
laid to be entirely dry. Ono tf the
newspapers of that locality states
that at tho present time not a drop
of water remains in tho bed of the
lake, am' that over miles and
miles of the former bed ot the lake
there are exposed millions and
millions of decaying lieli, lying in
the mud and tainting tho breeze
which blow over that portion ol the
fair stato of California. Tho iiuii
anca has becomo so threat that ns
soon as tho harvest is over most ol
the inhabitants a ill take to tho
hills for relief. Tularo lake is one
of tho most remarkabla bodies of
water in tho country, audits pres
ent freak of drying up is no great
surprise, since it lias often waxed
and waned before, although thero is
no recent record of its entire disap
pearance, as has been made this
BcaBon. It in a cood barometer of
tho drought in California this year.
Mr Warner Miller, president of
the Nicaragua Canal Company,
and Senator Morgan, another of the
Canal bill, had a talk wi'b the
president a few days eincn, after
which Mr Miller Baid: "Tho next
session of congress will undoubtedly
provide for completing tho canal
and its acquirement as the property
of the Uuited Statos. Tho ennal
has always been iecessury to this
country, but it is imperative now.
Thero is not much doubt as to what
action will be taken iu congress.
Tho effect of the war on tho project
is a completo demonstration of it
significance to us. Our new and
valuable intercuts in the I'icific
will no doubt add to tho pressure
for action. Tho canal can be com
pie ted iu five years and put into
operation, makingtho link between
the Atlantic and Pacific." The
thinking people of the country
hive come to the conclusion that it
is time to crons this particular
bridge, and at once.
Mr Hermann, formerly congress
man from Oregon, makes an e Hi
cient odmmisaiouer of the general
land office, but he is one of those
avidious leeches, Bays tho Portland
Welcome, who act upon the theory
that the government was instituted
for the benvfit of the oQlee-holden
and their fiiends. Hermann has
virtually created several scores ol
new offices, and had them filled
with his political Iriends, who draw
god salaries for pirforming ser
vices of no benefit whatever to the
country. Tweuty-snx'l rest rangers"
for the wenterii slope ol the Cascade
mountaius, ut 30 per month, are
an example of Hermann's thrt t.
Tho Supreme Master Workman
of the A O V W has issued a circu
lar for War Kellef call No J, of 50
cents for each full rale member,
and 23 cents for eich half rate
member of the order throughout
trie Union, to pay death policies
for wido, children and relatives
of soldiers who were killed or died
in the war prevailing. This call
will realize about $200,000, and if
more is needed, further special calls
will be issued later. Each full rate
member's heirs get $2,000 and that
half rate 1,000. The call on the
entire order is duo to the fact, that
tho loss comes too heavily on single
State jurisdiction, and beyonJ
their Gxed anes8 orient limits, while
the entire order of the Union is re
quired to make up when the death
rate overruns.
Shortly after Biemarck had taken
his neat in the First Prussian Par
liament in 1319 an opponent said:
"Youalonoin all your puty have
always treated us with politeness,
Let us make a bargain. If we gain
tho upper band we shall spare you;
if fortune should favor you, you
shall Jo the same by us," Bis
raaick'a reply waB: "If your party
has its way life will not bo worth
living; if ours is victorious there
will have to he exjcutions.but they
shall be conducted with politeness
up to the last step of the ladd jr."
Sheriff E L Matlock, of Morrow
county, is a model tax collector. In
the lust issue of the Heppner Times
he publishes a notice to delinquent
taxpayers in Morrqw county for
tho years 1391, 5, 0 and .7, and it
does not fill more than Dine inches
of space in that paper. Tho delin
quent taxes in the county for the
four years are under 1100 and thera
are only 20 names on the list, and
tiny uro mostly tho names of tv.n
renident. Through the employment of
Chinese in the manufacture of tents
for Holdiers alono thousands of
white men have been thrown out
of work. Manufacturers who do
cot employ that class o' labor are
unable to compete with others.
Th's is another of tho evils bred by
Secretary Alger's management of
the war. Tho administration is
criticised severely on account of it,
Schuyler Collax: We may adorn
with loving tributes the resting
place of our beloved dead: the
llowers which nre strewn may sym
bolizo tho fragrance of their mem
ory; but wo shall honor them the
most by having their examples
teach us to love our country more
to valuo its dearly purchased insti'
tutions more, to prize its iminiiold
blessings more and to advance its
groatnesa anil true glory more.
David tiregu; we honor our
heroio and patriotic dea l by being
true men; as true- men by faithfully
fighting tho battles of our day ns
ttiey fought the battles of their day.
Tho flowers of a true and beautiful
life, is tho (lowers to put upon the
soldier's grave. Trueness to our
country is the best way to honor
the BolJier who fell in tho defense
of hia country.
John Barrett, the well-known
uowspaper man of Portland, an ex
United States minister to Siuin, hie
