OREGON SENTINEL JACKSON V IL2.K Saturday, Apiul 7, 1883. EDITORIAL KOTKtt. Cleveland Ohio has elected a Demo cratic Mayor. President Arthur is going to Florida for a short vacation. The decrease in the public debt dur ing the month of March, was 9,344, 829.27. An Arkansas editor has discovered & man who is so stingy that he breathes through his nose to save his false teeth. An installment of 200 converts to the Mormon religion, recently arrived at Salt Lake from the southern states. The second trial of tho star route thieves has been in progress for eigh teen weeks and the end appears al most as far off as ever. A. Philadelphia man has invented a gloss coffin whioh he claims is much cheaper and more serviceable than the ordinary wooden article. The crown which is to bo used at the coronation of the Czar is valued at 600, 000. It is as thickly covered with diamonds as a star actress. It now transpires that the visit of Ex-President Diaz, to this country is merely a bridul tour, and there is no politics connected with it. A full dress rehearsal of the "Pas sion Play" was given the other even ing, without interference on the part of the authorities. Salmi scores one on the police. Although full returns are not yet in, there is a strong probability that the Democrats of Cincinnati have elected their Mayor and poss'bly a majority of the city council. The President has not yet appointed successor to Postmaster-General Howe. First Assistant Hatton is sow acting PostinasteNGeneral under a ten'days appointment. TKe grand' jury has found another indictment against Thomas J. Brady. An indictment bas also been returned against' ex Senator Kellog for alleged implication in the Star route frauds. A press dispatch, of April 2nd, states that one thousand two hundred and forty-two emigrants arrived in San FranciEco on that day, and that two thirds of them were bound for Oregon. Rich people wear bogus diamonds and everybody thinks they are genuine. Poor people wear genuine diamonds, and everybody pronounces them bogu. And yet thero aro those who write of the advantages of poverty, Half of tne failures in life come through misdirected energies. No matter how powerful the steam fire engine may be, its work goes for noth ing unless an intelligent mind guides tho nozzle end of the hose pipe. The ''New York Herald" in discuss ing the logic of treating, suggests that it is as absurd for one man to take an other into a saloon and buy him beer, as it would be to invite him into a store and buy him collars or socks. Southern California was consider ably shaken up last week, by an eartb- quake. The shocks were slightly felt in San Francisco, and further south they were quite severe doing consider able damage and causing great alaim. No loss of life is reported. Joon Brown, the oldest and most trusted servant of Queen Victoria, is dead. The English papers appear to regard this as a national calamity and are publishing long obituary notices of the deceased. England can now join the United States in singing "John Brown's body lies ic." The works of the Kansas Sugar and Syrup company, have been purchased by a syndicate of wealthy and enter prising gentlemen, who will devote them to the production of sorghum and syrup. Kansas sorghum growers are happy in the anticipation of a boom in their business. The trial of Verona Baldwin, the young lady who shot E. J. Baldwin somo time since, was begun last Mon day. A stubborn fight is being made by lawyers on both sides and somo in teresting and sensational developments are expected to bo mado during the trial. The principal ground of defense is insanity. Governor Cleveland of New York has organized a little prohibition soci ety of his own. He has recently par doned a former named "Wheeler who, Jive years ago, was sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen years. The Governor says that "Wheeler's fall from a position of the highest respectability to a felon's cell, was due to the use of whiskey and adds: "This pardon is therefore granted only on condition that Park Vha"ler shall totally nhstain from the ush of intoxicating liquors for the perio I of five years from the date thereof." X FOOUs.II I'lUJlDlCC Not alone from the alc of fruits in the fresh state should Oregon and Washington derive a large profit. In the east and at home there is a constant demand during the greater part of the j ear for fresh fruits in can, and for vegetables preserved in the same way. There is always greater profit in selling products manufactured or prepared, than in selling the same products in the raw state as they come from the ground or tho tree. Not only is the profit of the manufacture retained in the state, but the business of manu facture gives employ meut to great numbers of persons. But there is a singular prejudice here against the homo prepared fruits. The single packing company here gets part of its product upon the Oregon market with tho greatest difficulty, while thousands of dollars worth of similar goods, in quality actually inferior to the home product, are imported from California each year. It is a fact, the local fruit cannery sells thousands of filled cans without labels to California packers, who put on their own labels and re turn the goods here to be sold in our own market. Tho fault is partly with dealers, but to a far greater extent with individual consumeis who fancy a foreign label to be a stamp of superior excellence. If the fruit packing busi ness wero properly encouraged, it would soon become a great industry. The conditions of cheap and excellent fruit and a larcje market are here. And what is true of fruit is also true of vegetables. Oregon vegetables, which are greatly superior to Califor nia vegetables, are put up in cans here, sent to California nlieie they are given the stamp of a well known pack er and sold as a California product, in the east and even in Oregon. We hope to see here a better spirit in this matter. "Oregonian." Ucunnl of Good I'nrnilnc- Whether the rainfall of the season is sufficient for a full crop depends much upon good or bad farming. There is but little thoroughly good farming as et in this State, but there is some which may be called good, at least tol erble, by comparison with that of past years, which was simply execrable. For example: This year in most of the older agricultural countries, deep plov ing and summer-following for grain was the rule, while from six to ten years ago it was the exception. Many if not most farmers in those days de pending on the "volunteer" crop, which dispensed with plowing altogether. In San Joaquin, "volunteer" farminc was the rule in 18G3 and 18G4. The rainfall in 18C3 was 11.5 inches, but not more than a third cf a crop was produced. In 18G4 the rainfall there was nearly eight inches(7.862 at Stock ton) and tin re was no crop at all har vested outside of the tule lands. But last year in the same county, with a total rainfall ot but half an inch great er than that of 18G4, and three inches less than that of 18G3, the wheat yield of the county was 3,728,795 bushels, or over sixteen bushels per acre, and the barley yield nearly twenty bushels per acre. There were no "volun teer" farmers there last year, while in 18G4 they nearly all trusted to a crop without plowing or seeding. On in spection we shall find this rule of re ward for good farming holding qood throughout the State. With the best of farming, a certain nmount of iain is absolutely essential to a fair harvest. Thero is never too much in this State, but experience has proved that we can do well with about one-half the aver age of the last thirty years, or ith, as tho example of San Joaquin last year demonstrates, less than ten inches. "3. F. Chronicle." tue siri'Li or mxr. The following article which we clip' from the "Oregonian" should be care fully read by every farmer in this valley: Beef, once the most abundant, is now becoming the scarcest of our nec essary commodities. There is nn prob ability that we shall ever again have as cheap beef as in the years gone by, and very probably it will never be much cheaper than it is now. On the one hand the natural grass ranges are be ing rapidly narrowed, ond on the other the consumption of beef is greatly in creasing, Urowing scarcity is tne con sequence. Upon butcheis' blocks in this city is beef brought hither from San Franciscr, which it is possible to spare from that city because its market is the center cf a larger and surer sup ply than that of any other point on the coast And yet, the facilities for pro ducing beef in this section are tar su perior to those of the locatities from which San Francisco draws her supply. Two things are just now in our way. The first is found in the fact that we are by no means making the most of our advantages for production of beef cattle; the second, that the greatly in creased demand which has sprung up within a year past, was not anticipated, and therefore no adequate preparation was made to meet it. Cattle had been driven out of tho countiy in gruat numbers, our cattle men expecting no such demand at home as now exists. But the natural grass ranges cannot longer be depended on for our entile supply. High prices will very soon induce farmers west of the Cascade mountains to turn their attention to production of beef cattle for the home market. It will be discovered that there is money in feeding cattle in a country which produces sure crops of crasses and cereals, for which othcr wise there is not always a profitable market and besides, stall-fed bei f will always bring top prices. Every farmer may easily have a fsw fat cattle for the market each year, and he may make a market at his own door for the products of his farm, which are consumed in feeding them. Some ex peiience, which, however, may be easi'j acquired, isnecessaryinordertoget the le-t results from feeding cattle for the market; and with this experience it cannot be doubted that the farmer will find one of his best and surest sources of profit in this branch of business.

J.C3XJC, "T.rolcsoxi."riilo, Orooiiv The Apacbe Indians in Arizona and New Mexico, appear to be having things pretty much their own way, and are indulging their desire for blood almost without opposition so far as the governnif nt is concerned. These peri odical outbreaks of this band of blood thitsty savges is an outrage for which the government must be held responsi- tble. The policy which has been pur sued in reference to these Indians, only tends to en'argo their power and in crease their hatred. If these Indians cannot be controlled, and it seems they cannot, they ought to be exterminated, and the sooner the better. ?mm HARDWARE STORE Jacksonville, Oregon, BILGSR & MJEGIjY Uealors and 7cihozs IN TIS, BRASS & COPPERWARE. There is already considerable con test amongst western ploiticians for tho Postmaster Generalbhip.'The Pres ident has not indicated any preference in the matter beyond suggesting that the appointee must be a representa tive western man. Indiana, Ohio, "Wisconsin and Illinois have each pre sented several aspirants for the office and others may bo expected. If the President could conseirf to select a successor to Postmaster-General Howe from the Pacific Coast he would do something to extend his popularity as well as recognizo the rights of a section of the union hitherto too much ignored. An explosion occuned in the base ment of the Palace Hotel at San Fran cisco Tuesday evening by which about twenty five men were seriously, and some it is believed, fatally injured. Some repairing was being done to to the gas pipes in tho cellar and in making a connection of the pipes con siderable gas was al'owed to escape, and this being ignited caused the ex plosion. The prompt attention of the fire departmEntjpreventpd the fire from spreading so that very little damage was done to property. Most of the men injured were patrolmen who weie on duty at the time. An investigation into tho manage ment of a Massachusetts almshouse has developed the fact that the janitor of that institution has, for years, been in the habit of selling the bodies of in mates who died there, to'the medical college. In many instances the bodies were stolen from the coffin and the fuijeral services held over the coffin filled with wood. This is another of Governor Butler's invest'gations. Free to Everybody!
