NA TIONAL PA TRIOTISM.
There is something remarkable in the
patriotism of the average American cit
izen. For simple intensity it has no
equal in any country on earth. The
American citizen is proud of his country
and her institutions as he has a right to
be, and the respect shown to President
Harrison as the representative head of
these is but the natural exhibition of
this pride. In this city tomorrow as in
every place the president may visit, all
-distinctions of party, sect and creed will
be forgotten in the common desire to do
him honor. Men who have bitterly op
posed him at the polls will be foremost
and heartiest to give him the hand of
-welcome. All this is as it should be and
is as distinct from the servile homage
and flunkeyism of the average subjects
of monarchy and aristocracy as freedom
is different from slavery....
Two months have already passed since
the law went into effect authorizing the
state to build a portage railway at the
Cascades, and the general government
granted the right of way for the , same,
and np to this moment nothing has been
done in the way of locating, the road so
that the portage commission could go to
work to build - it. Meanwhile the river
has been slowly rising so as to render- it
more difficult and expensive to build the
inclines at either end of the road.' We
do not believe the portage commission is
to blame for the delay -. except in so: far
as they have put any faith in Major
Handbury's , profession that he desired
to see the road bnilt and built at the ex
pense of the general i 'government. If
'the Mayor's pretensions are sincere why
has he not located the road so that the
commission, could go to work without
delay? : We have lost all patience with
this dillydallying mayor. It is a pity
that any suggestions of his were ever
listened to for -moment, ) There is a
fatuity of postponement and delay con
nected with everything . he touches, re
lating to the opening of the Columbia
river. It was not sufficient that he
.should haye contributed to the defeat of
the Raley bill by giving representative
McCoy an excuse to fight it under the
pretense that it would cost a million to
build the road on the Oregon side. He
must pretended that he is in favor of
the government building tbe portage at
the Cascade, and the moment the por
tage commission listened to him, at that
moment began another series of those
delays and postponements that have
cursed everything he has touched, look
ing to the relief of the people of Eastern
Oregon. '
The town of Dufur has just put into
operation the most unique, effective and
inexpensive system of water works we
know of anywhere. They have placed
an old fashioned over-shot wheel, eight
feet in diameter, near the creek from
which the water is easily conveyed to
drive the wheel. A two inch supply
pipe is sufficient for the wants of the
community and the wheel furnishes the
power to drive the water to an ample
reservoir at an elevation back of the
town. The wheel made its first revolu
tion of 80 to the minute on the 28th ult
imo and it works like a charm. It raises
more water than the people can use and
they use it everywhere. ; In fact . word
comes to this office that compared with
the Dufur water works The Dalles sys
tem is simply nowhere. But this is not
till:. The Dufurites see wonderful pos
sibilities in their little overshot wheel.
They intend to use it as the power - for
an electric light plant for the town, and
-ad this use would only employ it during
the night, they talk of making it run a
chopping mill and turning lathe during
the day, at intervals when it is not need
ed to supply water., . We shall not be
much surprised if somebody hitches an
attachment to it that will enable it - to
milk cows, split kindling wood and put
the children to bed at night. : . .
One of the leading grain shippers of
Portland predicts that the day will soon
come when our wheat will be shipped
in steel barges to Panama, where it will
be transferred to Colon by rail and there
reshipped to Europe. There are eleven
lines of steamers plying between Colon
and Great Britain and Europe, and by
this route wheat can reach its destina
tion much more cheaply and quickly
than via the Horn. The gentleman
making this prediction has every confi
dence that it will prove correct. If it
does it will work quite a revolution in
Dusiness on this coast. Express.

same one always "carries on the palm."
HOOD RIVER.
It is surprising what variety of climate
still remains within the limits, of what
is still left of Wasco county. There is
the Arctic cold of the western boundary,
part of ". which is region of perpetual
snow and ice as well as the semi-tropical
heat 'of the Columbia .bottom nearly
11000 feet below. In the southeast we
have a vast hilly stock range where
there is very light rain-fall, while in the:
extreme northwest we have a precipita
tion nearly equal to that of the Willam
ette Valley. Midway between all these
extremes of heat and cold, of depression
and elevation, of drought and moisture
lies the beautiful little valley of , Hood
River. The valley proper is not so much
the. depression created, in the lapse of
centuries by the rush of waters from the
summit of the Cascade Mountains, as it
is a stretch of high bench land on either
side of Hood River rising up out of the
Columbia on the north and reaching
back to within less than a dozen miles
from . the . base of Mount Hood. Oq
either side of this plane rise abrupt and
precipitious mountains running north
and south and nearly parallel with the
main body of Hood River. On the north
across the Columbia there is a chain of
similar mountains running parallel with
the river, with Mount Adams in the dis
tance ; on the south and visible almost
everywhere stands Mount Hood. Hem
med in by mountain and river, the val
ley presents a picture of scenic beauty
nowhere equalled in Eastern Oregon and
scarcely excelled anywhere else. . . But
this is not all, for in this prosaic age few
are able to subsist on . scenery alone.
- The Hood river valley has a climate
all its own. It is neither so hot in sum
mer nor so cold in winter as other parts
of Eastern Oregon, while compared with
the Willamette yalley it. is much cooler
in summer if it is colder in winter. If
the residents of the valley are to be ac
cepted as judges of its - climate then
there is no place on , earth like . Hood
River. One enthusiast, who - has long
resided there, said to the writer : "All
we want is an irrigating ditch on either
side of the river and then a man need
not die to go to heaven." A lady, who
lately married one of Hood River's most
prosperous farmers,' and who previous to
her marriage had - resided - amid the
"beauty and chivalry" of Washington,
D. C was equally pronounced in her ad
miration of her new home. That seems
to be a way they, all have - and really,
after a person has "done V the . valley
from one end to the other,- and has had
an opportunity to test its delightful
climate he begins to think .they are- not
far astray. : The writer has no intereetfi
there whatever, and does not know that
he, ever shall haye; any, but , despite' the
effort to. curb the , expression- of - his ad
miration he is constrained to put- it-on
record that, after a thorough acquaint
ance with every., part of. it, extending
over several years, he cannot think of
any spot an earth he has ever visited,
take it for all in all, in everything that
goes to make a perfect climate, to equal
the Hood river valley.

Baby is sick. The woeful - expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when, he inquired of a
druggist of the same city: what was 'best
to give a baby for a cold"? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's -Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine,'! said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. - "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. . Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it . in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold. The teamster already, knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no- danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

All for a Slight Error; ? . -
The Berlin correspondentiof 'X. syndi
cate of provincial papers is-'responarihla
for the following story;, i'Osf thjeoccm
sion of the reassembling pf 'theviioiy
synod in tbe Russian capital At .was. re
solved to forward to- hi-sroj, in ao
cordance with ' traditional "- usage," .'the
archi pastoral benedictjon1'''.The clerk
who was employed, to ..prepare, the docur
ment formally communicating the pious
resolution made a curious mistake. By
a slip of -the pen he -wrote 'architectural'
instead of 'archipastoraL,' and the reso
lution was forwarded without the error
being detected.
."When, the cxar received it he laughed
heartily; and wrote on the margin,' fl
have no need of such a blessing.' He
then dismissed the matter from his mind.
The document, 'bowever.-with the jmpe,
rial annotation, found , its way back to
the holy synod, and produced among tbe
members of that body the greatest sur
prise and consternation. Without stop
ping to investigate the matter the eccle
siastics who were responsible for the res
olution . jumped to the conclusion, that
they had in some way or other incurred
the czar's displeasure, and that his maj
esty's comment was an intimation to
them that they were expected immedi
ately to resign. ,
... "They accordingly went in a body to
the imperial palace and humbly tendered
their joint and several resignations. Tt
was now the turn of tbe czar to be over
whelmed with amazement, and it was
only after a good deal of embarrassment
and reciprocal explanations that - the
matter was set right, The interview
terminated with a mild hint on the. part
of his majesty that, even in the records
of religious bodies, verbal accuracy is a
very desirable quality. '
The Time for Fuqr Beds.
There is nothing more attractive in the
early spring than a pansy bed.- In order
to secure blossoms early the plants must
have attained a proper size under glass.
It is necessary, therefore, to sow pansy
seed early. . Any long wooden. box fitted
into a sunny window in a moderately
cold room, but where it does not freeze,
will do for a seedbox. Be sure the
earth 'is rich; well fertilized with thor
oughly rotted -compost and woodmold,
and that it ris fine - and friable, so , the
tiny seed .can leasily . thrust .down their
slender roots in it. Keep the earth mod
erately moist after sowing the seed, and
in a short time the little plants will be
np and growing. - -
It requires Some resolution to thin out
the greater ' portion, of' them in order to
give- those ' that . are left sufficient room
to grow,, but, this. must. be. done without
sparing or- all .the . plants will be weak
lings... very pretty effects can be pro
duced by raising a box of white or near
ly white pansies for a. border,' and a box
of mixed, dark, velvety ones for the cen
ter of the bed. These quaint, blotched,
lovely flowers seem; : more . like living
things thani any other blossom.; 'Old
ladies". is: the, German name. .for tbem.
bat the -English name of .-pansy . from
"our. thoughts has .- a touch of finer
fancy.-r-New' York Tribune..

The. custom of giving; Easter presents
grows every yeart and now, this festival
is i second only to . the - supreme tm. of
Christmas in this regard. . A. few. years
ago an .Easter card, or at most an egg
shaped ' bonbonniere filled with sweet
meats, was the height of a giver's ambi
tion. . Now the limit is difficult to set.
A palm in a hundred dollar jar, a price
less W atteau fan or an old miniature,
rare and ' costly, ' may do duty ' an an
Easter offering if the shrine is especially
worshiped and your purse is in keeping
with your desire.
The egg element has been considerably
eliminated in the. modern Easter,-bonbon
boxes having suddenly taken on an al
most indefinite variety.' - Those in Dres
den china are undoubtedly the most to
be prized.-' Certainly porcelain candy
boxes are the most sensible, -as they oat-
live the confections and the day. One
hears, however, of $150 paid for: a hand
painted - bonbonniere . exquisitely deco
rated with ribbons, feathers and real lace
all of which, barring tbe lace, is wick
edly, perishable, . considering the price.

screens which are. copies in miniature of

Giving New York Children m Vacation.
Those who apply for a chance to send
their children to the country, are .in
structed . that they must be poor and
needy, without any infectious disease,
clean and free from vermin. A physi
cian then-inspects each child. Dr. C. C.
Vinton was - the examining , physician
last year, and he' examined nearly 15,000
children, of whom about 5,000 were sent
into tbe country.. ' Each day the . board
of health furnished a list of the houses
where there-was any contagious disease
which was of immense help.' With, that
list before him it was easy for the ex
aminer to stop any child who came from
an infected nouse. ' The majority were
refused on account of their hopeless con
dition as to vermin. It is a herculean
task, to get the: average, tenement bouse
child in a suitable condition to be re
ceived into country families. Rev. Wil
lard Parsons in Scribner's.
New York's 'good friend, Iemail,' the
ex-khedive pf Egypt, who presented the
city with the obelisk in Central park, is
Still practically a prisoner at Constanti
nople. '; He is confined in a palace, and
when be goes out is always accompanied
by an ill looking lot of Turks. ; Thepe
are ostensibly bis guard of honor, but in
reality they are soldiers who never lose
sight of their distinguished prisoner.
D. D. Martin, of Dublin, Cal., made
quite a raid on the squirrels after a re-'
cent storm. , He prepared five gallons of
poisoned barley and scattered it near the
squirrel holes on forty acres of land, and
succeeded in killing 4,821 by actual count.
Oklahoma is nearly as large as th
state of Ohio. - It has J0,000 inhabitants,
a larger number than either Wyoming
or Nevada has, and is now about ready
