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. The wool is re
ported as long and strong with clean,
heavy fleece. . ;'
The season opens auspiciously in Ore
gon with bright promise of diversified
products and good yields.
