THE ONLY SOLUTION.
The price of wheat has steadily de
creased for a number of years and now
it has reached a point where production
except under the most favorable circum
ststces is unprofitable. There is one
remedy for this and tnly one. Under
present conditions the larger proportion
of the wheat belt cannot be used for
other crops. It is true that Eastern
Oregon produces the finest of melons
and fruits but the whole country cannot
be used for that purpose. It is a natural
wheat country and should be used in
producing that crop. The remedy lies
in the disposal of it. It must be sent to
market, not in the shape of breadstuff's
but as meat. Oregon has never raised
the hog products she consumed but the
present prices of wheat are going to force
her to do so.' Now the cost of getting
the wheat to a shipping point, is the
largest portion of the expense. The
bills for threshing, sacks and hauling
taking up all the profits. When all of
these items are dispensed with, and a
couple of men can drive the whole crop
to market iu one or two days, there will
be something left for the farmer, but
under present conditions the crop eats
itself up on the way to market.
TO BE A CITY.
Hood River today publishes a notice
of her intention to incorporate. This is
an excellent move and one that is being
handled judiciously, the boundaries of
the city-to-be being sufficient for her
growth. We believe that the future of
that charming little town is full of prom
ise. Surrounded by a prolific soil,
located on the grandest river in the
world, a Switzerland for Bcenery and a
Holland for prolificness, her possibilities
are incalculable. There the apple is in
digenous, which 13 only one of the
reasons why we believe it to be the loca
tion of the original garden of Eden. It
is a paradiee after the fall not before, for
there as everywhere else, the command
that, "in the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread," is in force. In a few
years not less than a million bushel of
apples will be shipped annually from
that little locality. This will provide
the earthly portion of existence, and
everything else is provided. The water
is ae pure as the tear the Peri found, and
the air as fresh and fragrant as that that
lifted Adam's breast when he first
opened his eyes in Paradise.
The office of superintendent of water
lines for the O. R. & N. has been abol
ished, and Captain Pegram, who held
that position, is on the retired list. He
is taking a much-needed rest, and giv
ing the boat lines a chance. Captain
Pegram came here from the East, hav
ing been in the steamboat business for a
number of years on the Mississippi, and
was well qualified for the position be
cause he was a relative of the superin
tendent. He knew nothing about the
Columbia or what was required on it,
and it was through his management that
the middle Columbia was left without a
company boat. The captain says he is
pleased to be released from the heavy
duties of the office, a pleasure that will
be generally and generously shared by
the traveling public.
The president is still at Gray Gables,
and has given no indication of his inten
tions concerning the senate bill. Secre
tary Carlisle has shown what his opin
ion is by sending out circular letters of
instructions to the collectors of customs.
He evidently has a pointer. The sus
pense will necessarily come to an end
next Monday, for at 1 :30 o'clock on that
day the time in which the president
may sign or veto the bill will have ex
pired. It is generally conceded that the
bill will not be vetoed, and the only
question is whether it will become a
law with or without the president's sig
nature. It makes no difference which
course is pursued, but it will probably
be the latter.
The Oregonian today gives a general
review of the business situation, from
which we gather that there is a distinct
improvement in all lines of business.
A canvass of the wholesale houses of
Portland shows that trade is much bet
ter than a year . ago, and steadily im
proving. About the only line in which
unusual dullness is reported is that of
agricultural implements. With wheat
at thirty cents a bushel, or less, the
farmer does not feel like putting any
money into machinery; in fact he can't
and . so he learns from necessity to get
along with what he has.
It is no doubt true that Weather Ob
server Pagne knows more about hand
ling this Oregon weather than any man
living. He is at present in Washing
ton, and his place is being occupied by
Mr. Blanford. The latter is a clever
gentleman, but he no sooner gets hold
of the weather valves, than trouble com-
fresh from the Japan' gulf stream, it
gets here a sweltering steam bath from
the mouth of the Ganges. The weather
gets away from him every time, and
runs until it overheats itself.
That silly question "Is marriage a
failure?" is again being debated in the
newspapers. -Without giving the mat
ter any extended thought, it strikes us
there can be but one answer. As far as
we are concerned it seems to us that it
was quite the proper thing on the part
of our parents. What do you think of
the proposition as concerns yours?
The Chinese claim to have whipped
the Japs at Ping Yang, and also at
Chung Ho. This does not necessarily
mean that they had a fight. Under the
China-Japanese rules the only thing
that may be properly classed as contra
band of war is the telegraph dispatches.
That's what all the fighting is done
with. '

The Most Ooreeoua Treasures of Arabia.
What a splendid picture it brought
before your mind ! You read the glow
ing descriptions of the secret treasures
which the genii of the ring spread be
fore Aladdin's gaze. You perused this
favorite story of yours in "Arabian
.Nights ' when a Doy, ana your imagina
tion pictured brilliantly for you every
thing that the words suggested.
That was when you were a boy. To
day, possibly, yon are unable to do it.
Shall we tell you the reason why? Most
probable because your liver is sluggish,
and as a consequence you suffer from
sick headache, dizziness, and constipa
tion. Do you want to cure all thete
troubles permanently, make your liver
active, your imagination lively, and in
general enjoy things as you did when a
boy? All you have to do is to use Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, purely vegeta
ble, perfectly harmless, the smallest and
easiest to take, and they are the cheap
est because they are guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is returned.

" When a girl at school, in Reading,
Ohio, I had a severe attack of brain '
fever. On my recovery, I found myself
perfectly bald, and, for a long time, I
feared I should be permanently so.
Friends urged me to use Ayer's Hair
Vigor, and, on doing so, my hair '
Began to Grow,
and I now have as fine a head of hair as
one could wish for, being changed, how
ever, from blonde to dark brown."

Ginseng in China.
Ginseng is an important article of ex
port to China, and the trade is largely
in the hands of the resident Chinese
themselves. They buy the root of
wholesale dealers, who get it of coun
try folk at about two dollars and fifty
cents a pound. Chinamen seldom buy
directly from the countrymen, because
the latter being unacquainted with the
Celestials are unwilling to send the
root C. O. D. The Chinese make a mys
tery of the trade, but they send abroad
yearly many thousands of dollars'
worth of ginseng'.
