The culture of fruits in Oregon
ami Washington is one of the unde
veloped promising industries of
those wonderful states to tho north
of California. A writer in the Pota
Ilium Courier recently put the case
in this graphic style: The pioneers
who crossed (ho dreary plums into
Oregon in 1 Hit) ami ISM carried
with them the seeds of fruit trees,
and planted and fruited thwin there
early.
Some of the oldest orchards in
California have trees still growing
in Ilium, and bearing heavily, that
were brought from Oregon before
the days of ' 111.
Oregon has a magnificent climate
and soils for all hardy and semi
hardy fruits. She has not pro
gressed ho rapidly as California in
fruit culture for want of a market.
California attained transcontinental
railroad connection more than a
score of years curlier than Oregon.
This gave the dry state a long start
ahead in fruit culture; but now, as
a matter of fact. Oregon is tho better
fixed of the two in having compet
ing lines of railroad across thu hills
and prairies. The same may also
be said of Washington. Therefore
those great states are beginning to
"make a fuss" in fruit production,
and they are going to keep it up,
and rightly, to, for they have got
that great northern world, swept by
hlizmrds, to supply with fruits. It
is a country of vast extent, which
will soon bo teeming with millions
of (H'tmle, living where fruits cannot
grow, out where "stull " with which
to exchange for fruits can be; and,
Inisides, they have a cool, northern,
direct route by which they can ship

Throughout Franco there is a
general feeling of Iiojhi that the
tlilllculty between Italy anil the
I'nited States may result in war;
not because of any dislike for Amer
ica, but becaufe of the national
hatred for Italy. It is assumed
that if Italy should go to war with
the I'nitetl States she would com
pletely ruin herself ami thus enable
the inevitable war between Russia
ami France on the one side, anil
(iermany and Austria on the other,
to be fought squarely anil fairly for

The assessor of I'matilla county
I has done a public service by oh
i turning from all the counties in

I the glaring inequality of valuation,
and consequently of taxation. The

from .K) to 100 jier cent. Here is

uian. There is a man traveling around
the country, savs an Oregon ox-
' change, with a roll of counterfeit
money, and showing bank clerks
I anil others, for i 10 apiece, how to
! distinguish counterfeit pajKir money.
it is a secret tiiat a lew pam lor
years ago. Here it is: Every hill
is numbered; take the last two
figures in the numlier of the bill;
divide by I; if no remainder, "D"
must upM'ur as the letter mark on
that bill; if II remains after dividing
the last two figures by I, "C" must
ap'ar; if - remains, "K" shows; if
1, then "A." This rule is infallible.
Suppose the number on the bank
note you have is 'j:t7,-I.S.1; "H.1" are
the lust two figures; divide by -I,
there is a remainder of 1 ; then""A"
is the letter on that note it is gen

is bogus; supMifii the bill is iiinii

fifty cents, ami for this crime tluy

was committed a day or two U'fore
to the same hostelry for a cold

Foster, the gieat weather pro
phut, predicts terrible storms,
oarthijiiakcs, cyclones, tornadoes,
and all manner of bail things be
tweeu the till of May. 1 Sl I , ami
the -M or May, 1SU2. He says he i
knows he will bo criticised oten
tonsivcly for making such predic
tions, but time will prove him
correct. Foster has been running
successfully a rather large retail
weather bureau for some time, but
it is to be hoped ho will prove a
dismal failure in the wholesale
business.
Two branches of the Mormon
church at lndeendenco, Mo.,
known resiectively as tho "Hen
tlrickites" and the "Keorgauized
church," aro lighting for Hiscssion
of Mount '.ion, a low hill about four
acres in extent, which was selected
by Joshua Smith as the place where
all the elect will assemble on judg
ment day, ami from there be taken
to heaven. The Mormons believe
tho foundations for a magnificent
temple were laid many years ago
by tlio angel (iahriel and his hosts,
who will descend from heaven and
uncover these foundations, and in a
single night erect a beautiful
temple.
Italy killed all thu members of
(ho Matin that did not escape to
America, and now when her
escaped assassins meet tho death
they so richly merited, tiu Italians

Tho Dalles should be the diverg

penetrating tho country south and
north. Gilliam, Crook ami Ciraiit
counties must bo reached from this
city, and the samo can bo said of

With means of transiiorlutiou
these counties would mid their
natural wealth to the trade of this
city, ami tho greatest wheat and

Trails-continental lines will not
help build ut) this city; but rail

will. Iluild a road to (iohhmdalc,
