There is very little hope for prohibi
tion in Kentucky. At the late election
in that state 3291 votes were cast in its
favor and 285,838 against it.
While Uncle Jerry Busk is trying' to
invent a system that will produce rain
where it is most wanted, if some smart
Yankee would try his hand at inventing
a machine that would stop rain where it
is not wanted, it would have a great run
in the web-foot part of this state.
The exports of cotton goods from New
York for the first seven months of the
current year ammounted to $7,327,349 as
against $4,577,552 for the same period
last' year. ' Nothing in the history of the
world has ever equaled the story of the
progress of the United States in wealth,
pobnlation and commercial greatness. '
An agent of the notorious Monte Carlo
gambling establishment has offered the
dirpctcrs of the world's fair, to put up a
million dollar building and pay another
million dollars as a licenee for the privi
lege of running a branch gambling game

is an insult to the American people and
it is safo to-say will not be entertained
. for a lnonpent.
RAILROAD TAXATION IN WASH
, INGTON. ..
The Whitman county, Wash., assessor
has fixed the rate ol assessment . of the
various railroads running through that
county at $10,000, irrespective .of the
cost of construction. The Northern Pa
cific has asked the commissioners to re
duce the rate to $5,500 a mile and the
Union Pacific is willing to be assesed at
$7,C00. The commissioners have stoutly
refused to admit . the reduction asked.
The Union Pacific lines are said to be
mortgaged for $30,000 a mile. The com
missioners hold that if the road is worth
$30,000 a mile to 'mortgage, even on
bondH at 63 cents ; on the dollar, which
won Id make $19,500 a mile, cash, the
road ought to surely stand taxation on a
value of $10,000. They further hold that
if the Union Pacific can guarantee 6 per
...... . ; r t t. v f .1 .
vciiv m nm j . xv. (x n. vu. mere surely
must be an earning capacity in the road
of '18 percent, on $10,000 which would
place them on a fair footing with the
granger. This assessment id believed to
be prompted by a spirit of retaliation
for the neglect of the railroads to reduce
freight rates to the extent which the
etwd Wasson bill prescribed and be
cause it is the only way the farmers can
get even with the railroad companies for
having to pay excessive freight charges.
A
SYSTEM OF VONVEROUS PO
TENTIALITIES. If the government can make money
out of rags and printer's ink why does
it not get down to business and pay off
the national debt? ; What sense is there
in all this fight over a tariff for revenue
or a protective tariff or any other kind of
a tariff? Henry George has patented a
system for abolishing poverty, in which
the single tax theory occupies a promi
nent place.' If the government can
make money out of '.' nothing we don't
need the single tax' system nor any
other system of taxation, municipal,
county, state or national : Simply man
ufacture enough of money . to meet all
demand and that's the end of taxation.
If the government can - make money out
of nothing there ought not to be a poor
man on the .: American continent. If
there is, the government is to blame. It
will cost nothing to make ' him rich. If
the government ' can make money out
of nothing it is senseless to talk of two per
cent. loans on lands or farm produce.
Let the government buy the farmers'
truck and pay a good round price for it.
In such case we are in favor of . a law
fixing the price of wheat at ten dollars a
btifehel and all farm produce in propor
tion. If the non-farmer is not able to
pay this price let the government -give
him the monev to buy what he . needs.
Ay give it to hiiu. The money gii-en
won't cost anything, and the farmer
won't be jealous,'-because he F will have
all the money he wants," himself. . Oh
there are wonderous potentialities clus
tering around this system of finance. It
would stop office seeking and boodliug.
It would crush ' out monopolies and
trusts. Every man would have all the
money he needed. The United -. States
would become a paradise with the fruit
of its, trees yielding all manner of greenbacks.:-

Sam Vinson has one of the most in
telligent canines' in the country, says
the Yakima Herald. His name is Jim,
and Mr. Vinson traded a horse for him.
He will retrieve, set up, refuse the most
persuasive inducements . to come to a
person until;, the right sign is given,
carry notes, or get and take away his
master's boots and slippers, or other
articles of apparel. Mr. Vinson how
has Jim at his ramp at Hot Springs,
and when Joseph Baxter returned from
the Springs on Sunday he related the
last instance of the dog's brightness.
Mr. Vinson came in the other day tired
and footsore froin a fishing trip tip
Green jiver and dropping down in front
of his tent, pul ed off his boots and
stockings and sent Jim for dry stockings
and slippers. Jim answered to the
demands made on him with evident
pleasure and then whisked around wait
ing for further orders. None coming,
he darted into the tent and in a minute
came back laboriously dragging a big
demijohn after hiim.: The invitation
was too pressing -and Mr. Vinson with
true democratic instincts filled his glass
and said "How I" Jim has evidently
tumbled on to bis master's curves. -

Last Wednesday the quietness - of our
little city was broken by some parties
bringing in a black bear. ..They -had
him lashed to a pole and carried, in that
shape from Toppenish. - When they ar
rived in the city they untied the poor
animal, and it was so fatigued that it
would scarely move, but lay on Colum
bus street for several. hours, apparently
in a stupor, which gave the entire city-a
chance to put their hands upon the back
of a wild bear. Goldendale Courier. , .
It is estimated by experts that the
value of the grain exports of the United
States during the year 1891-2 will exceed
by more than $100,000,000 the average
values of the exports "of the same staples
fprthe past seven years. It would seem
as if this ought to turn lose a good deal
of money, if the farmers can succeed in
getting their legitimate proportion of the
increase. . ;
' It would be a relief if some of our ex
changes would quit magnifying reports
about the fatality of the diphtheria in
this vicinity. Some have it that there
were seven deaths in one family in Prine
ville, when in fact there has not been a
case of. diphtheria in the town for ten
years. However, there were three deaths
irom diphtheria in the family of John
Savage, three miles from town, and
those were the only deaths that have oc
curred from this disease in Crook county
this year. Ochoco Review.
, Farmers should - endeavor to avoid
holding their wheat too long.' It is all
right to wait for good prices, especially
thi&year, but even if the price reaches
$1 per bushel, clear of sacks, some un
fortunate people will wait just a little
, too long. It is always best to sell on a
rising market, and it can't alwavs move
upward Great discernment ia needed
in this matter, and the . situation in
Liverpool, rather . than in Chicago,
should always be. the farmers eiii.le.
