NEWSPAPER A BLESSING OR
.1 CURSE.
': There are few greater blessing to any
community, looking at the matter in a
purely marerial light, than a good news
paper. A paper that - will stand by its
own suction or city at all hazards ; that
will encourage and support everything
that will promote the moral and mater
ial welfare of the peoptc among whom' it
circulates, that will strive for harmony
instead of dincord, that will work for the
good of all instead of a faction ; a paper
that will speak the 'truth when it is
;nece8Pary to prtH.k'jt,"no matter whom
it may hurt ;. h jar that knows what
to keep out as well as what to put in ; a
pure, cleau sheet, with nothing in it
that. a well bred gentleman, would be
ashamed to utter'in, the presence of a
well bred lady ; a pa per that cannot be
purchased for gold to swerve a- hair's
breadth from what it believes - to be
. right. Such a paper: will wield an in-.
a t j 1 . it - 1
in the community that has the good for
tune to possess it. On the other hand a
paper that like an ill bird is constantly
foaling its own nest ; a paper that uses
its columns as the vehicle of " personal
spite; a paper whose editor has a head
so big that nothing is right unless it
meets his approval ; a paper that pub
lishes false and lying criticisms about
its town and inhabitants ; a paper that
is the mouthpiece of a social or political
faction that may long since have for
feited the right to existence ; a' paper
that labors to promote discord where it
should work for peace ; a paper that will
advocate anything that will put money
in the pocket of its mercenary editor;
such a paper is a curse to, any com
munity and the sooner it is relesrated to
the limbo of defunct journals the better
it is for the community afflicted with its
presence.
XfALICIO USL Y MISREPRESENTED.
- In the iioehester, N. Y., Past-Express
and Union & Advertiser of late date there
appeared a series of interviews which, re
porters of these journals had with one
J. M. McMasters, who lately owned a
half interest in the Dufur rolling mills
and who is not unknown to several peo-
"ple in The Dalles. The interviews are
the product of a seemingly bitter and
'disappointed man. They nboundin reck
less statements about the resources of
the three states of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho, which, coming from one who
''professes to know every foot of the
northwest are calculated to make a false
'Impression especially when published in
.journals of established reputation. . The
attention of Major G. W. Ingalls, who
has for some time been engaged on this
coast as a special ' correspondent 'of sev
eral papers in California 'and the east,
' having been called to these misreprc
sentations, lie lias volunteered to give
them a partial contradiction,, in a letter
addressed to a personal friend, in the
city of Rochester, who will doubtless see
that it is published where it will do most
good. Major Ingalls has kindly placed
.v copy of the letter at our disposal which
reads as follows: . b .''
Tne Dalles, Oh., August llth'ispll'
Geo. liurlingame, Esq., Rochester, N. Y. .
Dear Sik : My attention was this day
called to' the articles published, in the
. Post Express, of your city, regarding
Seufert Bros.' vineyard and orchard of
this place. . I showed these articles to
Mr. F. A; Seufert who read the same
and he authorized me to make the fol
lowing statement: The Seufert Bros,
have been at The Dalles for the past
eleven "yeurs. The first four years they
were successfully engaged in buying and
shipping fruit,' 'and sold out their good
will for $1,600.. Since selling out the
fruit bnying and shipping business they
have continuously engaged in the rais
( ing and shipping -of fruit,- generally to
leastern markets: ' Their fruits have
frequently come in competition . with
i California fruits and : yet ':. have, never
.-Buffered . fiom such competition; -.but
often their fruits ; have - commanded
higher prices than those of California,
Montana, Idaho'' arid . Dakota -' when
laid side by side. ' ' ' . ' . .
One case in point': Messrs. Seufert Bros.'
had expressed 200 boxen of Bartlet Pears
to Butte, .Montana ; the charges and boxi
ing costing $1.75 each. They telegraphed j
buyers there to bid on the lot. to .50 per
box was offered. Refused and wired
back that they would take 4.25 per box
and their offer was taken. California
pears were in that market then. , The
Fish statement of Mr.'McMastera, Mr.
Seufert said was entirely false &nd that
part of their business had always been
very profitable. They, further said they
knew of the defunct Tenino Packing com
pany, and that it had little or no capital
when it began business, and the mana
ger wasted by dissolute habits a little
money put into it by a worthy citizen
here. That because of - his vile habits
he lost the confidence of all who did
business with him,. and which finally
compelled him. te run away from here.
The vacant Tenino rooms have been
occupied for over twelve months by a
successful fruit and vegetable dealer and
who has been making money.
Messrs. Seufert have 30 acres in peach
trees from two to six years old, and will
8elL this season nearly 20,000 boxes,
mostly to go'eaaU They send you a
sample box of peaches by express, one
of a lot of 50 boxes being shipped today.
It is too far to ship peaches and I fear
these may not arrive in good condition.
I will send you a box of Bartlet pears
later. The peaches will net Messrs.
Seufert $1.25 per box.' .The crop last
year realized $1.00 per box. 700 four
year old cherry trees have netted $1,400
this season, and when three years older
should realize double this amount.
They have 50 acres in grapes and will
put out 60 acre more next spring, besides
putting out 60' acre more in apricot,
which is evidence of their faith in the
future of the fruit business in this sec
tion. When they started in fruit culture,
all their capital was $1,200, and that was
invested in drifting sand refered to by
Mr. McMasters, ajid some of which, he
says, was in . danger' of blowing on to
North Dalles. Today this orchard and
vineyard cannot be bought fov $50,000,
and all of it has been made out of. the
fruit business, and - right on the present
orchard tract, besides giving them capi
tal to start an immense. fishing business.
The standing of. Seufert Brothers with
the banks here is equal to that of any
successful merchant of Eastern Oregon or
Washington. I will, in a few days,
answer other portions of Mr. McMaster's
articles with official authorities support
ing my statements. I don't own a
dollar's worth of property in Washington
or Oregon today,' nor do I know that!
ever will. I write this without any
pecuniary consideration whatever, and
because I feel a great injustice has been
done to these states and their thousands
of fruit and other business men here, by
the high standing of the paper publish
ing Mr. McMasters communications.
Truly your,
G. W. Ingalls.

Instance out of a thousand.
Take, .. again, those . old and - young
women we saw squatting in the market,
with little scraps of produce spread out
before them. . Suppose they sell this for
ten cents, they have enough to buy mate,
tobacco and mandioca, which are their
chief aliments, and thus they keep the
household going, with the help of or-,
anges, that lie in many places a foot deep
on the ground. A caustic observer has
said that, the Paraguayan peasant lives
on mate and the smell of a greased, rag.
The greased rag is an exaggeration.
Mate, mandioca, tobacco, sugar. cane,
oranges, and cana rum as a luxury, such
are the ordinary and extraordinary ar
ticles of consumption. With poor food
such as this the men are- naturally weak
and indolent; and being at: the: same
time the lords of creation they pass their
lives in meditative laziness and leave the!
women to do what little work is abso
lutely required to keep a roof over their
heads. . , . ,
These Paraguayans, poor and ignorant
as they may be, are proud and suscep
tible; they never say thank yon except
as a formula of refusal; it is. useless to
order them about; they must' be treated
with gentleness and persuasion, as equals,
and even then not much can be got. out
of them. So I was told by a -dozen, men
who had varied experience in the conn
try. The educated Paraguayans them
selves admit this much, but without
notable disapproval, and with an impa
tient click - of the tongue against the
teeth and much writhing and shrugging
of neck and shoulders they will protest
against Americanism, progress and doing
things quickly. .;

Kelcejr'a Bill for Trouaera.
Herbert Kelcey's dignified appearance
is a part or his reputation. His fault
less coats and his well creased trousers,
which never seem to have discovered
that their wearer is jointed at the knees
like the rest of the world, have been the
envy or plenty or reliows who cannot
sit down once in a pair of breeches with
out letting them into all the secrets of
their shape. It is not generally known,
however, how much care Kelcey takes
to keep up his appearance.
Of course in New York it is perfectly
easy to keep one's self pressed, but when
he is -traveling on the road it is quite a
different matter. .The actor resorts to
various methods to retain that beautiful
crease down the front of his trousers,
one of which is to take his trousers when
be undresses, stretch them carefully into
shape, and lay them .between the mat
tresses Of his bed 'When his bed has two
mattresses.
Last year he left a western hotel in a
hurry and left a pair of trousers behind
him. for which he telegraphed back from
the next town. In the meantime 'Mr.
and Mrs. Barrymore had arrived at the
hotel the next night and been assigned
to the room Kelcey had occupied. The
bellboy was sent to the room to ask the
occupants permission, to look for - the
nether garments. They were found be
tween the mattresses, ' and Barrymore
undertook to do them up and forward
them to his brother actor. When Kel
cey received the package it contained, in
addition to the trousers, a bill stating
that Mr. Herbert Kelcey was. indebted
to Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Barrymore for
pressing one pair of trousers. Boston

' Th Truth In Hot Weather. -
We are accustomed to say that the
Americans are generally a truthful peo
ple. . Is it owing to onr climate? That
has great extremes. The mean is fair.
and produces national veracity. Whence
comes, then, the habit of playful exag
geration, usually harmless, and perfectly
understood as humorous? Is it the re
sult of the extremes of heat and cold, es
pecially of heat? Observation ought to
tell ns whether we are more truthful in
the winter than in the summer, and
whether the national habit of using ice
water for a. beverage is an attempt to
counteract the veracity destroying power
of a high temperature.
There is no doubt that we unbend in
Bummer; moral "reforms relax; the city
churches are closed: society falls - into s
flirtatious way, and only rounds up into
seriousness of intention with the advent
of the bracing autumn. Apparently it
is the first frost that tones as up into
veracity. It is a humiliating depend-ence.-rCharles
Dudley Warner in Har
per's. ' The Production of Pollen.
The immense number of poJlen grains
produced by a single flower apparently
militates against the saying that nature
allows nothing to be formed but what is
needf uL ' It seems, indeed, a vast waste
of material to have such a multitude of
grains when so very few would answer
the same purpose. In a single flower of
the Deonv there are about three and a
half millions grains; a flower of the dan
delion is estimated to produce nearly
two hundred and fifty thousand; the
number of ovules in a flower of the Chi
nese wisteria has been counted and ' the
number of pollen grains estimated, and
it is found that for each ovule there are
seven thousand grains. -
: While few fall below the thousands,
many rise far above the peony in point
of numbers. These are the wind fertil
ized flowers, and here nature must pro
vide for an immense loss ' of - material.
