Two resolutions were passed. The
first is as follows :
Be it Resolved, That this convention
approve ancLindorse the administration
of Grover Cleveland in all bis actions up
to the time-being, and hope that he will
continue to carry out the pledges made
at tne unicago convention and in spirit
of the platform made, upon which he
was elected.
This resolution came from the com
mittee, E. Schutz chairman. The second
came from Mr. J. L. Story, and was sup
ported by a speech in which he referred
to the present financial stringency and
said the people needed the help indicated
or many would lose their homes. He
said that nearly . all the counties in the
state had taken similar action. Follow
ing is the resolution :
Whereas, During the past two years
the business community, and especially
the farmers, have suffered greatly from
loss of crops, and many are almost des
titute, and
. Whereas, The present hard times
and money stringency has rendered it
almost impossible for many to raise
money on any security they have, and
Whereas, The enforcement of the col
lection of taxes at the present time is
equivalent to selling many poor people
out of a home and rendering them des
titute. Therefore be it
Resolved, By this convention, that it
is the sense of this convention that the
time for the collection of taxes in this
county ought to be extended until the
first day of July; 1894, and we would
respectfully ask the county court of
Wasco county, Oregon, to so extend said
time and give the people a chance to
have the advantage of the wool, fruit
and other crops'. .

THE FRUIT' GROWERS.
A Most Entertaining Program Fur
' sished Last Evening.
Address of Welcome and Response A
Refined Paper by Mrs. Brooks
and a Practical One by
. Mr. Dosch.
The court house was filled last evening
by citizens to greet the thirty-fifth quar
terly session of the Oregon State Horti
cultural Society at The Palles.
The session was opened by a brilliant
orchestral selection by The Dalles string
band. This company of musicians plays
superbly, and will rank high among the
orchestras of the West. Our Portland
visitors expressed themselves a de
lighted with the several selections given
last evening, and as surprised as de
lighted.
Dr. Card well of Portland, president of
the society and Hon. John Michell of
The Dalles were escorted to the rostrum
by Mr. E. C. Sanders, introducing Mr.
Michell, who gaye the address of wel
come in place of Mayor Kref tt who was
unavoidably absent. The address was a
kind welcome from the city, and an ap
preciative expression of the good work
done by the horticultural society
throughout the state. The address was
also replete with a mention of our soil,
climate, and productiveness, and par
donable local pride because of these
characteristics. ,
In answer, Dr. Cardwell said he felt
highly complimented by the expression
of welcome and good wishes and the
presence of so many citizens at the meet
ing. He said - the fact that we had a
generous soil was sufficiently advertised
at the great world's fair, and the suc
cesses of Oregon so gained Veie due in
great part to the efforts of our own
townsman, Mr. Emile Schanno, who de
seryed honorable mention for indefati
guable. and painstaking work.. Our
fruits were the wonder and admiration
of all beholders, and Oregon took eighteen
prizes and medals. In the rivalry of the
states as to which could produce the.
largest perfect apple, Oregon captured
the honor. . He closed with sincere
thanks for all said and done to make the
meeting a success.
Mrs. A. P. Brooks read an essay, hav
ing for its subject, "Make .the best of
your surroundings. " She used as a text
the Latin phrase "Nqn cuivis homini eon
tingit adir Corinthum" suplemented by
"l)um vivamus vivamus," or reduced- to
English "It is not the fortune of every
one to go to Corinth," and "While we
live let us live." In support of her text
the lady argued that if we make the
most of ourselves, our own home is ele
vated, and in that way our neighbors,
until like the morsel of leaven the
whole is leavened. She spoke of the
tendency of our home people to send
away for things which should be pur
chased at home, and to slight .home
manufacturers in favor . of .foreign
made; wares. In like -manner by
sending children away '".for" an ed
ucation oar home institutions lan
guish.. Leaving ;' this practical - sub
ject she spoke of the ministry of the
beautiful, which did not need to be the
work of one of the world'a masters, but
that the humblest flower, penciled with
God's own hand, conveyed a lesson, and
"Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these." Of the in
fluence of flowers to nenoble mankind
and to make human nature gentler and
sweeter, the lady gave ample demonstra

tion. She closed with a reference to
our own wild flowers, ''which woo us
with their beauty to love them, and the
poor little children may gather them in
clusters, and their golden or crimson
hues shine just as brightly, or in their
whiteness teach lessons of purity full as
well as though they were inmates of the
conservatory."
"Everywhere about us they are glowing
Some, like stars, tell us that spring is born
Others, their blue eyes with tears o'erflowing
Stand like Ruth amid the golden corn."
After another beautiful selection by
the String Band, Mr. Henry E. Dosch, of
Hillsdale, read a paper, on the subject of
"The Nicaragua Canal and Its Probable
Benefit to the Oregon Fruit Grower.
As representative of the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce, he attended the Nica
ragua canal convention at New Orleans
in 1892. . In this capacity he had two
objects in view one to present in its
true light our varied resources, the other
to learn what possible benefit it would be
to our people. As producers of raw
material the Pacific coast possesses un
questionably the most varied, richest
and most abundant supply offered by
any other geographical area of equal ex
tent. Besides metals, cereals a"nd fruits,
we have millions of acres of forests, and
those of the East are dangerously
denuded. With cheap.' transpor
tation we may flood the East with
all these products, besides ' delicious,
pure and cheap wines. What we want
is a short cut- waterway . connection.
This is the completion of the Nicaragua
canal, the missing link, this natural
maritime highway. Our products in
the order of their importance are wheat,
lumber, fruit, and comprehensively fish,
wool, cattle, hides and rich minerals.
To ship a carload of wheat from Fort-
land to New Orleans costs at present 45
cents a bushel. By the Nicaragua canal
it would not cost' more than 12 to 15
cents a bushel. Railroad freight on 1,
000 cases of salmon to New York is $700 ;
complete the canal and the rate for a
like amount would be $200. A like
benefit was detailed by the speaker on
evaporated prunes and other products.
He spoke of how it would benefit the
small grower and bring fifty buyers to
our doors where there is now . one.
"Every man, woman and .child," eaid
Mr. Dosch, "is directly or indirectly in
terested in the completion of this
canal and we should never cease talk"
ing it until it becomes an establish
ed fact: Our representatives in congress
sbould.be urged to give it their untiring
support." He impressed . the audience
with the nonsense of the claim . that
there can ever be an overproduction,'
and concluded with statements of the
necesity for this canal project by such
prominent Americans as Gen. Grant,'!
Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, Hayes
and Senator Morgan'.
The paper of R. D. Allen was post
poned until this evening.
The table in front of the speaker's
stand was occupied with a collection of
choice apples, donated by Messrs. Baker
and South worth, also by two models of
fruit dryers, Mr. Chriaman'8 being ac
companied by a display of the dried
product after leaving his dryer
.. WEDNESDAY.
The various visiting members of .the
society were driven in carriages this
morning to the fruit farms of 3-Mile and
Mill creek and practical instruction
given in grafting and other subjects. -
At the afternoon session, Mr. S. A.
Clarke, of the com mH tee attending the
Spokane convention, spoke as follows :
