The gold men said tho advance in price was due to the IngUlltlonoJ Mr Jieod'H Con jjrem and tho silver men attributed the advance in price to the failure of the grain crop in the great w heat producing countrieH of BOfOfM and Asia. Now wheat for the future delivery in Helling in Chicago at 00 renU per DOS be, though Mr Kced still rules OoDgNM. Heretofore war caused an ad vance in the price ofcerealr; now with 215,000 men changed from producers to conHUim rn thero is a material decline in the prico of wheat, though the laws enacted by Mr Keed's CongreifH last year re main unchanged. BeCAUai 01 scarcity of breadHtufTn in Europe bi,.t yoir the gold men ridiculed the idea that tho prico of nilver had any connection with ihe price ot wheat or OOttOD. Now in the linn of war wheat goes down to meet silver, until an ounce of the while metal anil a buahel of wheal com mand very nearly the MOM price, aB they did fr yeiirs before the failure of the grain crop in India and the Argentine Con.eclcnition. Tho remonelizalion of silver would benefit tho farmer as much as the miner as the prico of s bushel of wheat, einco India and South America became exporters of that grain, and silver wan demonetized, always ail van 'fd or declined with silver, oxcept in rare iiiHtaneeH when wars or crop failures caused a scarcity of tho grain. HAY AM) ILECTR1C1TT. The decrease in tho consumption of hay, caused by tho displacement of horses, is estimated, in U is, in our leading cities as follow: Philadelphia, (iO.OOO; Chicago, 50, 000 to 75,000; (i router New York, 40,000; Haltiuiore, 2.1,000; 8t Louis, 10,000; Cincinnati, 10 000; Rich mond, Ya, 15,000; Toledo, 0, 15, 000. Allowing that each work horHO requires fifteen pounds of hay per day, the displacement of tho above number murks a ilecroas i in consumption of over 1,300 tons per day. Add t this tho horses Jis placed in other cities and you will understand why thu bay track iB nol as a rule as active as it w in u lew years ago. The California drought is the cause of tho revival in tho hay market at tho present time. Indications are that the Hamoan islands will soou b partitioned be tween Kngland Germany and the United HiaUs. The United States will take the smalleU of the three, Tutuila, but id that case size counts f.r nothing as it is tha har-b-ir facilities that are wanteTJ. Tu tuila has a good bar or, I'ango- I'ongo, and the United Slat's al ready has title to ground in that port, with aciU;egccnce of the join ing i owers. Salem Journal: Mr Herbert T Condon who has been acting as editor of tho Eugene Register has retired from tho newspayer work. He was ono of tho ableat gold sUnd ard writers in the state and al though weoould not agres with him, hocommindod respect lor his ability. Ho is an educated young man, a lawyer and a scholar, and will doubtless be successful in whatever occuj alion he may pur rue.

There are about 1000 men on the sound prospecting I have no more information in regard to the mines in this section nan I had when I left Eugene. There is absolutely nothing known by anyone about the country.

The natives tell all kinds of stories tegardiiig the mines, but none of them are to be depended on. The natives here are Ihe moot degraded cliiss of humanity that I have ever seen.
