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. - ' Weather Observer Piona !a nn rT way home from Washington, where he has been taking part in a competitive examination concerning weather knowl- edge, barometric information, thermo metric theories, isothermic conditions, . precipitation, and a thousand one other things ornamental and picturesque.

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.

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." - Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepare by Dr. J.
