THURSDAY.- - FEBRUARY 6,. 1S96 JOS. TV PETERS & CO. 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 A. . ...
