THE FRUIT PROBLEM.
There is a magnificent fruit crop in
Wasco county this year, yet fruit grow
ers are somewhat discouraged on account
of the low prices. Such fruit as has
been sent East has not sold for enough
to pay for the boxes, freight and com
missions. The last lot paid for the
freight, boxes and commissions of the
Eastern bousep, and part of the commis
sions of thoee who got up the shipment
here. It would seem only proper, the
fruit grower having lost both fruit and
boxes, that the fruit dealer or com mis
sion merchant should stand at least the
loss of a portion of bis commission,
especially when it is through his efforts
and advice the shipment is made, and
consequently the loss incurred.
The trouble, we believe, is only a tem
porary one, which can and will be over
come. California had the same trouble
meeting with repeated losses, but she
has finally surmounted all difficulties
and her fruit shipments are enormous.
The trouble is not with the freight ratea,
(though they are still too high) but with
the commission merchants in the East.
The fruit has to stand too heavy a toll,
and also to take its chances on the hon
esty of the dealer in the East. This waa
aptly illustrated in the shipment of
strawberries from Hood River last year,
Berries from the same patch, picked the
same day, shipped in the same car but
to two different firms, were reported as
arriving in fine condition and selling at
$3.60 per crate, while the other dealer
reported them badly damaged and sell
ing at $1.70. It is so with the fruit, and
will remain so until the shipments are
heavy enough to admit the keeping of
an agent in the East to look after the
business. With the shipments being
made from The Dalles, Hood River and
Mosier, this could be done now, it some
kind of a combination could be formed
but this is probably impossible at pres
ent. The remedy lies now in being pre
pared to dry or can the surplus fruit un
til our shipments will warrant the course
above suggested. Hood River is better
situated than we are, having a large pro
portion of winter apples in her fruit crop
which can be picked at leisure and sold
when desired. Until some definite
settlement of the shipping problem is
arrived at it is the height of foolishness
to plant either plums or peaches
Prunes can be dried and apples can be
kept, but outside of these and the small
fruits and berries, the business is in bad
condition.
Two northern states, Maine and Ver
mont, have held elections within the
past week. They are the first to ex
press an opinion on political matters
since the democratic tariff bill became a
law. The results in both states are sug
gestive. Vermont shows an increase of
from 12,000 to 18,000 in the republican
majority, and in Maine the results are
about the same. The same state of af
fairs exists all over the country, and
gives strong indications of the public
opinion of democracy in general and the
last democratic congress in particular.
It seems that even Louisiana has had
enough of democratic tariff tinkering,
and it is feared by the democracy will
go over into the republican camp. We
do not believe this fear well grounded,
but that every northern state will hus
tle back into the republican camp in
1896, is a foregone conclusion.
Senator Feffer says that the last ses
sion of congress was a stupid failure.
Senator Peffer is undoubtedly correct,
but he has no kick coming, for he did
his best to make it what it was. He
was aa ardent free-trader until it came
to salt.which is manufactured on a large
scale in his district, when he voted for
protection on that. We will do the old
senatorial hirsute appendage the justice
to say that he voted for protection to
wool for the very sensible reason that
if the Eastern manufacturer was to have
protection on his goods, the woolgrower
ought to be put on an equal footing with
him.
It is a healthy sign that the tide of
travel of the immigrant class has turned
the other way, and that for once the
gates of Castle Garden swing outwards
to permit the Slavs and Italians to re
turn to whence they came. Many of
them have left California, and" the iron
regions of Pennsylvania also report a
heavy exodus. The American people
will rejoice to know, that this class of
foreigners is leaving us, and will have
no objections to make against a million
or two more getting an effective dose of
homesickness.

Irregularity .
Is that what troubles you? Then it's
easily and promptly remedied by Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They regulate
the system perfectly. Take one for a
gentle laxative or corrective ; three for a
cathartic.
If you suffer from Constipation, In
digestion, Bilious Attacks, Sick or Bil
ious Headaches, or any derangement of
the liver, stomach, or bowels, try these
little Pellets. They bring a permanent
cure. Instead of shocking and weaken
ing the eystem with violence, like the
ordinary pills, they act in a perfectly
easy and natural way. They're the
smallest, the easiest to take and the
cheapest, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is returned.
The cleansing, antiseptic and healing
qualities of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
are unequaled.
Notice to Water Consumers.
The charges for patent closets when
used when necessary only, is 25 cents,
but when a constant stream is allowed
to flow, the charge is $5 per month. In
the last two years a large number of
closets have been put in, and in a large
number of them a constant stream is
allowed to flow. The drain on the water
supply has become so great that I am
compelled to enforce the rules, and will
hereafter charge $5 per month for all
closets using a constant stream of water.

Chamberlain's Pain Balms to athletes,
gymnasts, bicyclists, foot ball players
and the profession in'general for bruises,
sprains and dislocations ; also for sore

applied before the parts become swollen
it will effect a cure in one half the time
usually required. For sale by Blakeley &

Sarsaparilla
S. P. Smith, of Towanda, Pa.,
whose constitution was. completely
broken down, is cured by Ayer'a
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
" For eight years, I was, most of the
time, a great sufferer from constipa
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the time
I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds ; I now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If you could see me be
lore and after using, yon would want
me for a traveling advertisement,
t believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day." -
