There is no natural or business rea sons why concert of effort cannot bulbi up a great independent pack ing institution in the Northwest with Northwestern capital and patronage. Further, location (geographical and transportations!), and the fact that it is at once the center and outlet of the stockraising industries of the Northwest, make Pendleton a logi cal location for such an industry.

The theory upon which the policy of forest reserves is based is sound, but its application is proving ruinous and absurd Of the total acreage of <0.518,400 in Oregon. 15.136.68<' acres lone-fourth its areal has been reserv ed. Of 44.275,200 acres in Washing ton. 8.000,00« have been reserved, and 3,000,00« more acres probably will be. It is expected that half the area of Idaho will be reserved when present intentions of the government are car ried out. At present, one-fifth the area of that state is reserved The natural result of all this will be a reaction that will throw all these vast tracts open to settlement under a homestead law. Of course, it will be many, many years before the entire area would be settled un der a homestead act; but there is hardly any doubt but that it would be reclaimed by a homestead act. and the slow processes of nature supplemented by wise irrigation laws, at least as soon as it can be "reclaimed” and made fit for settle ment under the forest reserve law, no matter how ably administered it may be. If the congressional delegations from the Northwest do not get to gether and stay together—publicly .in gether and stay together—publicly, in something drop, and it will fall so hard their political solar plexuses will resolve into inconglomerate clots of nothingness Hundreds of actual homesteads — occupied and fruitful farms—have been cut out by these reservations, and isolated without hope, and hund reds of thousands of acres more are parts of the reserves now that would soon have been entered by actual settlers had they been left open for entry by the usual methods. There is no way of estimating the loss of population by diverting and stopping immigration, nor the pecuniary loss to the entire Northwest. As administered, the system of res ervation is a miserable failure, the acme of blundering. INDEPENDENT PACKING. The scheme to induce Oregon. Washington and Idaho people to in vest in the proposed independent packing house at Kansas City, is a very meritorious one—from the standpoint of Kansas City and the NAMES OF FABRICS. The names of fabrics are in many cases derived from the place where they were first manufactured: in others, the name is bestowed in honor of the place where it first be- came known to commerce, or from materials composing its texture. Thus the name of muslin is derived from Mosul, in Asia. Cambric comes from Cambrat, gauze from Gaza, baize from Bajac; dimity of Damietta. and jeans from Jean. The name damask is an abbrevia tion of Damascus; stin is a corciptijn of Zavtown. in China Velvet is the Italian “vellute.” wool ly. and is traceable further back to the Latin vellus, a hide or pelt. Serge comes from Xerges. the Spanish for a certain sort of blanket. Bandana is derived from an Indian word signifying to bind or tie. Alpaca is the name of a species of llama from whose wool the genu ine fabric is woven. Calico is named for Calicut, a town in India, where it was first printed. Blanket bears the name of Thomas Blanket, a famous English clotbier, who aided the introduction of wool ens into England in the fourteenth century. WHEATGR0WER8' UNION. A plan to raise the price of wheat throughout the world is on foot, ac cording to the Izmdan correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. This cor respondent says that the Daily Mail, a newspaper of I^ondon, is authority for a statement from Warsaw to the effect that an American association, stated to number 38,000 farmers, has asked the Russian ministers of finance and agriculture for their as sistance in raising the current prices of agricultural products, especially wheat. It is said that the association pro poses to establish a grand union of wheatgrowers, embracing agricultur al organizations in the United States, Russian. Argentine. Austria-Hungary. Ronmania. Canada and British India, which will annually fix the minimum selling price. The Mail's correspond ent adds that in view of the apparent abhorrence of trusts on the part of M. De Witte, the Russian minister of finance, it Is doubtful if he will ac cede to the request of the American association.

George Ade had been for a visit to the old home, at 1-afayette, Ind., and returned to Chicago reeking with Hoosier stories. One of tuem relates to a “street fair" recently held in that place. Many of the freaks of the fair Midway boarded with the keep er of a cheap hotel, who consequent ly was at liberty to visit, without charge, any of the exhiolts. One morning after the fair had been run ning a few days, a country boy ap- l«eared at the hotel and told the pro prietor that he an dhis "pap" had | brought a load of hay to town for' the animals in Bostock's show. l»ut the load upset. "Had yer breakfast*" inquired the landlord "Nope We started 'fore sun-up." The man insisted that the boy take breakfast right then. The boy did so and protested that he was afraid I "pap" wouldn’t like it. After break , fast the man said: "Ever see Lulu, the wild girl?" "Nope. Hain't been f town since last fall." "Better come and see her Won't cost a cent." "But pap' won't like it.' "Oh. never mind, it won't take long." After they had viaue.1 l.ulu they visited the two-headed boy the skel eton man. the switchback railway, the animal show, each time the boy warning the man that "pap" wouldn't like it. but each time being overrul ed by his generous guide. At last, toward sundown, the boy positively balked at going in to see the girl with the elephant feet, on the score that he was sure "pap" wouldn t like it. "Wei. by the way where is your !«ap?" asked the man "He's under the load of hay ”—New York Times GENERAL NEWS Policemen have been placed on the housetops in New York, with field glasses, to lookout for daylight burg laries Steamer Park Bluff was capsized in a fierce storm Sunday evening on the Mississippi, and Engineer Furgerson was drowned Sir Thomas Lipton is suffering from appendicitis and physicians gave out yesterday that an operation would not be necessary.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS. RELIC OF MASSACRE. Found Under Ground Near Whitman Monument. A relic, which if it had tongue could probaldy tell the Btory of the inassacre of the missionary, Marcus Whitman and his party, was found within 600 yards of the Whitman monument yesterday by Thornton W. Heninger, says the Walia Walla Union. Mr. Heninger, in company with E. 8. Waterman, was digging on a new irrigation ditch on the Water man ranch when he struck something hard. The object was unearthed and proved to be a rusted and bent dag ger of old pattern It was found three feet under ground. The wooden handle crumbled to pieces when Heninger picked it up and although the two men examined it closely no date or mark of Identity could Is* found owing to its rusty con dltion. The blade was still very sharp in spile of its condition, giv ing mute evidence of the manner in which nien carried their arms when the weapon was used. Because it was found so close* to the monument and wax evidently an old style dagger, those* who are b*-st acquainted with the situation feel reasemaldy sure it is one of the weapon* carried by the massacred party, or maybe, the se alp lug knife of some red fiend who help ed murder the missionaries.
