1170 7.S TO BLAME.
Three months' ago the Oregon legisla
ture passed a bill appropriating $60,000
for a portage- railway at the Cascades.
Thrive days after, congress passed a
bill granting the right of way. This bill
was promptly signed by president Har- j
rison and is now' a law. Since that time,
practically nothing . has been done
towards .builditig the road. Whose
fault is it? We propose to find out.
We trill find out and we don't care a
picayune who it 'is the people shall
. know who is to blame.
FISH WHEELS.
There are some sixteen to eighteen
fish wlufls l-twMn Tlip Dulles nti3 I
v enio, an or nearly an waiting to re
turned by the rising river and their own
ers longing for the spring run that has
scarcely yet commenced. What success
they may have it is impossible to tell,
but if their success was only equal to
their capacity the results would be sim
ply stupendous. The united capacity of
"these wheels is altogether problematical.
With the largest run of salmon some of
them would catch few while others
might Ixj catching by ' the thousand.
All depends, or at least nearly all, on
the location, and first class locations are
few in number. It may give our readers
some idea of what one of these wheels is
able to accomplish when everything is
favorably when we- say that one wheel,
last year caught three tons or fish in
twenty minutes, when it had to be
stopped because the receiving box was
full. Twenty tons a Jay is no uncom
mon record for one wheel, while at least
one in a desirable location last year ran
as high as fifty tons. Such runs as
these, however, are like angel's visits,
few and far between, and when they do
come the)- last but a short time. The
means of disposal of large catches has
been the great difficulty heretofore, but
the fishermen are better fixed in this re
spect, for this season than they ever
were before. uring a good year the
profits are enormous, notwithstanding
the low prices of $50 to $tK) a ton.
VXEUUAL TAX ATI OX.
There is trouble over in the state of
AVashington through the discovery that
the late legislature has passed an assess
ment law that excludes from taxation J
all credits such as accou nts, prommissory
notes and mortgages, and the attorney
general of that state has rendered an
opinion that these are not' taxable under
the provisions of the law. The state
auditor has therefore notified the county
assessors to govern themselves according
to this decision. In Oregon no such law
could le passed without an amendment
to the constitution but we shall watch
with interest what effect it will have on
the finances of Washington. It is very
certain that the law will be extremely
unpopular among the producers, but
their interests don't seem to have been
much thought of in the last legislature
any how. It is very questionable if the
measure will make money, any cheaper
or have any other tendency than to
wake the rich richer by exempting them
from taxation and the poor poorer by
compelling them to pay the taxes of the
rich. .
HE IS HIGH-TONED.
The Eaxt Oregonian thinks that a man
who writes for a newspaper on a salary
cannot possibly know anything about
our national financial system. That is
the way it accounts for the blundering (?)
financial articles of the Oregonian. The
writer of these works for a salary. How
high-toned some fellows ; get to be when
by some inscrutible providence they be
come owners of of a newspaper?
In reply to a letter written by the edi
tor of the Wasco Observer to H. N. Copp,
the well known land attorney of Wash
ington D. C. as to the status of settlers
on the lands . comprised in the Dalles
"Wagon Road grant, Mr. Copp gives it
'as his opinion that the said grant is de
feated by the grant tojthe Northern Pa-
ciOc and as a consequence thereof that
the lands in question passed to the gov
ernment under the act of September 29,
.1890. , Mr. Copp advises settlers to make
homestead applications for these lands
and upon rejection thereof, to appeal to.
the commissioner of the general land office.
HOOD RIVER.
Hood River has justly, obtained, far'
beyond the boundary of the state', an
enviable notoriety for one class of in
dustry that is capable of immense devel
opment and profit; we refer to, straw
berry culture. During the season Hood
River etrawperries are shipped in all
directions, but the larger towns of Mon
tana Territory afford the largest market.
The variety chiefly cultivated is the
Clark's Seedling and there cannot be a
doubt that this strawberry attains great
er perfection there, in everything rela
ting to quality and flavor, than it does
in its native home in the Willamette
Valley. The Clark's Seedling is an ex
cellent shipper. This will be readily
believed when we say that Hood River
strawberries have been shipped as far
east as Illinois and then turned out of
the box fresh and nice. The quality
may be judged from the fact that they
have been known to sell at 25 cents a
lxx in the Portland market when straw
berries raised at Mount Tabor brought
only 15 cents. The fame of Hood River
strawberries has reached as far as Cali
fornia and an order came some time ago
from New Castle in tliat state for some
of the plants. 4
Some idea of the profits of straw berry
raising may be gathered when we inform
the reader that it is estimated that 2000
cases of 24 boxes each will be required
to ship this season's crop while the en
tire area devoted t.o strawberry culture,
in the whole valley cannot much exceed
15 acres. The lowest average price re
ceived last year, by any one person that
we talked with was 13 cents a box 'and
the highest 14?4. A two and a half
acre patch of land on a eteep slope on
the bank of Hood River, admirably adap
ted to strawberries however, but which,
a few years ago, before it was improved,
would scarcely have brought the govern
ment price of a dollar and a quarter ah
acre last year produced 333 crates of
strawberries, which sold at 13 cents a
box, and brought the owner the next
sum of $1038.90 or over $400 an acre.
With an irrigating ditch on either side
of the river, which the people will un
doubtedly have in the near future there
are thousands of acres that are capable
of producing equally with those of Mr.
Coon. Indeed the case of Mr. Coon is
only that of several others. '.His neigh
bor Mr. X. C. Evans is equally success
ful with a similar patch which is well
worth going 20 miles to see, and his story
is practically a repetition and confirma
tion of the other. Mr. Locke whose place
is on the Columbia bottom, below what
known as Hayne's Spur, either through is
natural modesty or . because he was
afraid to tell an old assessor how rich he
was getting, would only say that his
strawberries averaged him last year 14
cents a box ; but as Mr. Loche is one of
the most intelligent farmers in the whole
Hood River Valley we have a profound
suspicion that his last year's profit were
in no way inferior to the others.
The Hood River strawberries come
early. Iast year they beat Southern
Oregon by 4 days, and this is their com
mon record.
Replying to a question as to the gross
profits per acre to be derived from this
industry Mr. Evans said : "With ordi
nary field culture $400 an acre, with high
culture $800 an acre, without water
nothing." Replying to other questions,
he said : "Without help a man can at
tend to three acres, with spending $100
for help, 5 acres. The cost of picking
and getting ready for market is about
x$ of the gross receipts." When we add
that unlike the tenderer fruits straw
berries are a sure crop every year we
shall proved as far as words and facts
can prove the truth of what Mr. Ahsten,
a Virginian of 9 years' residence in the
valley said to us, "A man can make a
living here on a smaller niece of land.
and have table luxuries of his own rais
ing all the year round, than in any place
l nave ever Deen.
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 babv 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 babv such stroncr
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
Uough Kennedy 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 ol-the Remedy, having used it
himselt,"ar.d was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even- to a
baby. or sale by snipes & J4.inersly.
