bate ol the present session of congress,
paset.J the Nicaragua bill by the over-
helming vote ol 225 to 35.
All attempts to retain in toe bill the
. lansuaceot the original bill for the forti
fication ol the canal and still further to
strengthen the lansange on that line
were balked, and ibe victory ol Hepburn

nreeident was boried under an adverse
" majority of 52 to 171.
Wabuixotos, May 3. The Senate will
not abandon its amendment lo th Hay
r.nnpflfota treaty, and the Hepburn
amendments - the Nicarasa Cana
treaty. The hill will not pass the
Senate. howe , becaose the amended
treaty is not ,. isfactory to the parties
negotiating it, i or Is the bill in its pres
ent form eatiftactory to the Adniinistra'
tion. The Walker Commission report

Good Prospects Ahead.
The fruitgrowers of Oregon can fitly re-
member and repeat, mentally at least.
the old adage that they learned in child
hood : "It's always darkest just before
the storm." With some of them the
iigbtnijg of bad luck has struck twice in
the same place in successive seasons;
but this isn't likely to happen again in a
decade, if in a generation.
We know from long experience that
Oregon is a fine fruit country, and ordi
narily a safe one; but in all regions
there are exceptional seasons. Prunes,
the variety of fruit that has been hardest
bit this year, is peculiar; it requires the
right kind of soil and climate, and close
care and constant attention.
There is not an inch of ground for
doubt, eyen yet, that a large aggregate
area of Oregon is admirably adapted to
the cnltivation of the finest varieties of
prunes; this has been sufficiently dem
onstrated, although ecfce may have
lanted trees in the wrong places. But
unless this baa been done, don't give np;
praneraising will pay, and with proper
ears many who have suffered loss this
year will more than make it up in the
years to come. In such a case as this,
the only thing to do is to look pleasant
and try again, resolved to succeed.
Political Notes.
Only seven more days in which to reg
ister, Mr. Voter.
This seems to be an unusually quiet
campaign. The people are all so busy
in field, farm, mine and workshop that
' they have li'.tie time for poliice. How
ever, they all have fully decided how to
vote. Republican proeperity ia ,ood
enoogh for the majority of our people!
Don't Deglect to register nntil the last
days permitted to do so under the law.
There will be a big rush just previous to
the expiration of the time limit, May 13,
and the notaries will he crowded with
the work. Ileg'ster at once.
