Senator Mitchell would do well to call
off his friends'. . The senator is popular
and will, no doubt, be re-elected to suc
ceed himself. But a convention held for
the organization of the party and the
election of delegates to a national
league convention is not the place to ad
vance his interests. A little of the at
tempted booming like that which was
disregarded in Portland Tuesday, might
prove serious.

THE RISE IN WHEAT.
Beef
and
The recent sadden and unlooked-for
xiee in tho price of whent may benefit
the speculators, bat we believe it will
prove a curse to the men who raise the
wheat. In the ' first place it occurred
after nearly all of the crop of 1895 had
passed out of the hands of the farmers,
and almost none cf them reaped any
benefit from it. It ad.ln another temp
tation to the producer to withhold his
crop from muiket in anticipation of a
rise. In a large majority of cases the
holding is a direct loss, by reason of a
falling market, and the loss on account
of interest, insurance and storage is al
ways larger than the farmer counts. As
rule the producer who has his crop
early in market and sells promptly, re
alizes more out of it for himself and his
creditors, if ,he has any, than he who
holds in anticipation of a rise.
The recent rise in the price of wheat
was due to speculation and not a legiti
mate demand, and already the market
is falling in Chicago.
The opening of the Cascade Locks,
which event is supposed to be very close
at band, means more to Eastern Oregon
than is generally conceded. The Dalles
will be benefitted more than any other
city on the river, but the benefit to The
Dalles will be great because Sherman,
Gilliam, Morrow,' Crook and Grant
counties will also reap the benefit,
merchants in these various counties can
purchase goods here, when the locks are
completed, at as good, or better advan
tage than in Portlaud. Merchants here
have less rent to pay, and yet will have
all1 the advantages of competition in
freight rates enjoyed by Portland, and
rates from the East will be the same as
to Portland. With a good road, free of
toll, Into Sherman county insured,
goods can be landed in the southern
portion of Sherman and Gilliam coun
ties at about the same expense for haul
ing as from Biggs, Grant or Arlington,
and thereby the entire freight charge
from Portland to those railroad points
will be saved. The only advantage
Portland will present will be the advan
tage of a larger stock from which to
select. As regards staple goods, this
amounts to nothing.
We hear it frequently suggested that
The Dalles is the only place to be bene
fited by the opening of the canal. We
insist this is a mistake; Moro, Grass
Valley, Rutledge, Condon, Fossil, Day
ville, Mitchell, Antelope and Prineville,
in fact all interior trading points at a
distance from the railroad, will be di
rectly and materially benefited, and
consequently all producers in those
localities will feel the effect, both as
to prices of their products and their
eupplies. The opening of the canal
means more to a very large section of
Oregon and Washington than any com
mercial event in our history.
JChe city council has done the tax
payers of the city a most excellent ser
vice during the past year in reducing
expenses. If a like saving could be
made in the administration of Echool
district and county affairs, there would
. be a perceptible reduction in taxes next
year. We can do very little in the way
of reducing state taxes, but school and
county affairs are in our "own hands.
They should be so run that our aggre
gate tax next year will be materially
less.
The governor of this state has no
longer the power of pardon. Whenever
lie attempts to pardon a criminal the
secretary of state vetoes the I pardon
until the pardoned person or some
friends pay His Royal Kincaid the eum
of $2 for affixing the state seal to the
certificate. The fact is that the state Is
pretty much controled by the aforesaid
secretary of Etate, and a large part of
the revenues of the state government, as
now administered, find their way into
his capacious pocket.
The convention of Republican clubs
' at Portland made a wise selection in the
officers, and delegates which it elected.
Judge Carey, the president elect, is
clear headed and clean hearted. Pos
sessed of unlimited energy, sterling in
tegrity and most excellent judgment,
he, is the man for the important posi
tion to which he was chosen. The
executive committee is a good one. The
delegates to the national league conven
tion are representative men. And bo
