politics connected with it.
A full dress rehearsal of the "Pas

The ''New York Herald" in discuss
ing the logic of treating, suggests that

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

Brown's body lies ic."
The works of the Kansas Sugar and
Syrup company, have been purchased

young lady who shot E. J. Baldwin

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."

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
