WEDNESDAY - - - APKIL3, 1895 ITS LOCAL WITH VS. The Oregonian recently sent letters to one hundred persona in the state asking their opinion as to what Bhould be done to increase the prosperity of the state. The answers are beginning to come in and are practically identical in their ideas. Diversified farming, tbenconr agement of manufactures, dairying, etc., form the subject of each and . all There is one matter that, so far as we bare observed in the answers, has not been touched, and that is a reduced freight rate to the markets of the East. We raise immense amounts of fruit here, but, with the exception of. apples, none of it will bear the rates at present ex isting and leave any profit to the dealer, We are not at all cranky concerning railroads, for we realize that they must have fair returns on their money, but we believe the freight rates could be cut in two, and that by so doing the roads would build up an immense trade that would yield them much more profit than the present . rates, which practic ally forbid shipment of plums, prunes, etc. Another thing is the commissions charged by the firms in the East, which in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred overstep the boundary between profit and larceny. ' XTp in this neighborhood we are doing all we can to increase the prosperity of this part of the state by planting winter apples. Within five years Wasco county will ship as many bushels of apples as she now does bushels of wheat, and then we ure going to have money to throw at the birds. There are many other things we could do. Mr. Vogt last year demonstrated that hops could be grown with profit ; broom corn tops out as though it belonged here, and experi ment will, no doubt, demonstrate that our possible industries are hardly yet thought of. In the meanwhile, we dream like somebody of "most tremen dous pippins," and, as Saxe says "Apples of other appellations." The dream will be realized in a few years and then even editors can own two spring overcoats and a Fedora hat at the same time. Major B. B. Tuttle of Multnomah county, was appointed adjutant-general of the Oregon National Guard by Gov' ernor Lord, Monday. Mr. Tuttle is per. haps as well qualified to fill the position as almost anyone that could have been selected, but the appointment is not entirely satisfactory on account of the fact that since the present state admin istration went in, all appointees, except the judges and prosecuting attorneys of the new Eastern Oregon districts, have been selected from Multnomah and Marion counties. We fail to understand why the governor did not, following the same policy, appoint the judges and at torneys for Eastern Oregon from Mult nomah county. There was plenty of raw material down there for those places or any others. .1 be moral wave, which is lust at present the most popular fad, reached Portland last week. It was warranted fresh and the genuine article, so the powers that be proceeded to vaccinate the city, so to speak, with the clean and wholesome virus. Us country folks nave been watching the experiment ever since the scarificator was first ap plied in the shape of a small raid. So far the vaccine does not seem to take, and we are fast coming to the conclu sion that the moral wave must be ac companied by soap, or else be applied with the aid of a hypodermic syringe. A new scheme for fleecing the gullible is being worked with great success in the states of the middle northwest. A gang of men goes through the country Belling at one dollar each, apple trees of an imaginay variety, represented to be as hardy as burr oak for the reason that the variety is propagated from seed ex clusively and the trees are therefore neither grafted nor budded those opera tions causing the alleged tenderness of all previous varieties known. It is said that not only farmers, but also editors lawyers and doctors have been freely contributing their dollars in exchange for the trees. Weather Crop Bulletin Mo. 1. In the Columbia river valleys the highest temperatures ranged from 52 to 72 degrees, while the lowest were from 31 to 52 degrees. The rainfall was less than .10 of an inch. On the 28th a light snow fell in the southern portion of the valley. South of the Blue mountains the temperature ranged from 22 -to 64 degrees. The nights were generally frosty. In the Columbia river valley, apricots, peaches and plums are In bloom and have, so far, escaped from the frosts. The ground is not in the best of condi tion for spring plowing and seeding. The major portion of the cereal crop will be from summer fallowed ground, while volunteer crops will be relied upon in many sections. In the Grand Ronde valley fruit buds are swelling and will soon be ready to open. Spring farm work is progressing. ' South of the Grand Ronde valley and of the Blue mountains, the stock area of Oregon but little progress has been made, so far, in farm ing operations. The ranges are fair, and the stock, of all kinds, in good condi tion. Lambing is in progress and but little loss is reported.
