PIONEER MEETING. "
Tomorrow. June 16th. marks the
fiftieth anniversary we will not say
(as said in the yellow circular "pot out
hy the Oregon Pioneer Society) "of
the day when Oregon became a part
of the United States," but when, by
the treaty of 1846 she was recog
nized by Great Britain as such.. We
Tinow she was 'that all the time. It
is, therefore, highly fitting that this
anniversary should be becomingly
honored.
To this end the Pioneer Associ
ation has made a great effort to se
cure' the names of all such as wtre
resident in .Oregon at that time.
The roll of mmes, with such addi
tions as farther investigation " has
demonstrated, has been; published ; in
the Oregonian, and as faf-as possible
their piesence will be secured at.the
jubilee celebration. Of these many
will surety be prevented from going
by infirmities of age andlll health,
and many of them will be prevented
from goins by other adverse circum
stances. One thing is true, the rap
idly diminishing , roll contains' Xhe
names of those to whom we! of 'this
And nf tVitt r'nn 1 1 1 Y-ir nmv u'nll rl c f m it.
our privilege to show all honor.
' The Pioneer Society 'admits .as
jnembcrs all who were here prior to
February 14, 1859, when Oregon
was admitted as a state. But of this
not very large . number the "forty -
' sixers" are but a very few. There
may be some in "Wasco county f we
an now think of but one or. two.
Mrs. . Gilmore, widow of the late
Hon. S. M. Gilmore, now living in
Klickitat county, was here in 1846,
but, if .we have been correctly told,
not within Oregon's then large bor
ders until after June 15th. Mrs.
Crate- the widow of the Hudson Baj'
pioneer, Edward Crate, was here at
that time and in "Wasco county.
The association will be banqueted
by the pioneer ladies of Portland
June 16th. Hon.. G. H. Williams
will deliver the annual address. -
NLEY AND TRACY.
The convention which meets to
day in St. Louis promises to heed
the voice of the people. Ever? in
dication points to the. nomination of
McKinley and the adoption of a
sound money platform. The only
contest seems .to be over the nomina
tion for vice-president. The'-candi-dates
mentioned most prominently
so far are not men of wide j-eputa-tion.
Governor Hobart ' of New
Jersey .is not known widely to'-the
people pt the West, while II. Clay
Evans of Tennessee made his fame
during the late celebiated guberna
torial campaign in that states Levi
P. Morton declines the second place,
. though if the . convention : should
nominate him it . is a 'question if 'he
would not reconsider his former dec
laration.. ' " .:"'
We believe New York should 're
ceive the vice-president, and among
her distinguished citizens is a man
well fitted for the office Ex-Secre
tary Tracy, a member of -Harrison's
cabinet ' and a wise statesman. If
nominated for vice-president he
would add greatlj' to the strength of
the ticket. MeKinley, Tracy, pro-
tection and sound money would be
an irresistable combination.
Wasco County' Keioircti.
From time to time we are in receipt of
letters asking questions concerning our
county, finch as, " What kind of climate
have you; what do -people find employ
ment in; what of the boil, productions,
etc."' t;
- Wftsco county is in the northern cen
tral part of Oregon, and reaches- almost
to the 46th parallel -of north latitude.
Being in the middle of the north' tem
perate zone, it has the four seasons well
marked. .But unlike, the eastern and
Mississippi-' valley Btates of the same
latitude, "the winters are much shorter
and less severe, the cold seldom going
below zero, and that for only a few days
during .any , winter. Some winters .we
have 'sleighing for a month or a little
mote, -and some only for a few days.
The climate is dry ; . sunshine being the
tulc at all seasons; the greatest amount
of moisture being precipitated daring
the .winter in snow. However, spring
rains are not unfrequent, there being as
a rule, enough moisture to mature crops
of- wheat, oats, barley and . vegetables
without irrigation.
On6 great interest in many parts of the
county where irrigation is possible, is
lruit raising! Perhaps no country .in
the w.orld will produce the fruits of the
temperate zone in greater variety or
abundance. Apples, plums, pears, apri
cots, peaches, prunes and most berries
grow to perfection, and never fail:
' Farming has, as a rule, paid as well
here as almost anywhere. The soil is
light but fertile, readily plowed, and ad
yet not filled with noxious weeds..' Wood
and lumber are at hand almost any
place in the county at prices that are as
reasonable as could well be asked. Fine
and fir lumber sells at the mills at from
six to ten dollars per thousand feet.
Land can be procured by homestead
or at prices ranging from five to twenty
five dollars per acre. ' - "
Perhaps our eastern friends would like
to.know about oar storms, cyclones and
other aerial disturbances. The proxim
ity of that great equalizer, the grand old
Pacific, makes atmospheric disturbances
of the classes pamed unknown except
the' steady -gale. Water spouts occur
now and then, but they are generally
small affairs and cause little damage ex
cept . to bridges. Clouds accompanied
by thunder and lightning are of rare oc
currence, so much so that no thought is
given to protection against it. Dufur

QUEEN VICTORIA'S BOSS.
Sbe Bad
One In Mrs. Unseens,
House
' keeper at Balmoral.
. Queen "Victoria has just sustained a
severe loss' by the death of Mrs. Mus
sens, who, from time immemorial, had
been her housekeeper at Balmoral, says
the, London News. Though unknown,
to the public at large; she -was an' Im
portant personage in the eyes of every
body connected with the court, as she
was one of the few who had the cour
age to "talk np" to her majesty; end
even on occasion to deliberately "bos"
her .august mistress'. Once when .the I
queen- wanted a certain maid to whom
she hnd taken a fancy detailed to the.
care of her own room, Mrs. Mussens
remonstrated in the strongest f ashinn,
telling' her majesty that it was quite
out of order, and she really must xot
spoil the servants by taking undue no
tice of them. The . queen, as usual,
gave away, and "dear Mrs. Mussers"
won the day. She was a typical per
sonage of her class, gowned .always in.
black silk, lace-trimmed apron and
white cap, with corkscrew curls. She
and the queen were excellent friends,
and her majosty used to"deli jht in her
conversation. She also stood high in
the favor of the royal grandchildren,
who iised to seek her out as soon as
they arrived at the castle. But to the
world at large she was a holy terror,
and With the servant and members
of the household she vas. infinitely
more exacting and imperious than the
queen herself. -
Water Famine in South. Africa.
The South African newspapers are
full of amusing incidents in connection
with. the Rand water famine. ' Soda wa

use for culinary and washing-.purposes.
The demand for Florida,-bay .rum, eau
de cologne and other liquids f like
character is unprecedentedly great, and
anything that can be pressed into the
service of the toilet commands a fancy
price. A mixture of ammonia ' and
lavender water is said to yield satisfac
