THE RIGHT MAN.
Oregon, and in fact the whole Pa
cific coast, was peculiarly fortunate
in the appointment of Hon. Binger
nermann to the position of commis
sioner of the general land office. It
was proper that a western man
should be appointed to the office, for
all the government's land, or practic
ally all of it, lies west of the Missis
sippi. Eastern men do not under
stand the surroundings and condi
tions as do those who have been
raised in the West.
The most important matter in this
line, both to the government and the
settler, is the forest reserves, recently
established in Oregon, California and
Washington. They cover an area
half as large as the New England
states, and they contain a wealth of
timber that is not equaled in the
world. At the same time there are
large tracts of fine fruit lands includ
ed within their limits that should be
thrown open to settlement.
To post himself thoroughly on the
matter Commissioner Hermann is
now on the coast. Having as thor
ough a knowledge of the subject as
he has to start with, it is safe to saj'
that his conclusions concerning the
management of these forest reserva
tions will cover the whole ground.
He is a thoroug'ti land lawyer, with
an unlimited knowledge of conditions
on the coast, and when he goes back
to Washington we may expect a sen
sible lot of regulations concerning
torest reserves that will hereafter
prevent any protests against the gov
ernment's action upon them, for Mr,
Hermann's opinion will carry weight
with the interior department.
will settle at. Harvest conditions in
Europe, and in fact all over the
world, indicate the greatest shortage
the world has had in years, and the
prices will not become steady UDtil
more definite knowledge of harvest
conditions is known. It is quite
certain, however, that wheat is going
to command a bis once. Of course
the hih price will cause the use of
corn nnd other substitutes, which will
fix the limit of price.
As explaining a sudden rise in
wheat, the statistics of the New York
World give some satisfactory reasons.
In the first place the "visible supply"'
has run down from .164,319,000
bushels in 1894 to 67,000,000 bush
els in August, 1897. This alone
makes a shortage of 100,000,000
bushels, enough to cause a sharp rise,
but on top of this somes a shortage
in the European crop amounting to
222,000,000 bushels, or a grand
total shortage of more than 300,000,
000. On top of this still, the corn
crop shows a shortage of 250,000,000
bushels, and a corresponding ad
vance in price caused by the defi
ciency. Xhe world estimates mat
increased prices will mean this year
more than , $500,000,000 to the
farmers.
A CRITICISM.
Charles S. Mellen has been elected
president of the Northern Pacific
railroad. He is said to be a first
class railroad man, and is not the
pioprieter of the food for infants sold
under his name.

Charles Austin Bates' Criticisms,
a variegated advertising journal,
that, as its name implies, furnishes
Charles Austin Bates a chance to
criticise newspaper advertisements
and rates, is a piebald specimen of
journalistic tommy-rot. To show
the value of his criticism let us ex
amine a statement purporting to
come from a correspondent, but
self-evidently written by Charles
Austin Bates. He says: "Women
do nine-tenths of the buying, 99
hundredths of the reading of adver
tisements, and are influenced 999
times as much as a man. Nine
multiplied bv nine equals eighty-one ;
this multiplied by ninet3'-nine equals
691; and this multiplied by 999
equals 890,100. It follows, there
fore, that Charles Austin Bates thinks
that for every man influenced by ad
vertisements, 890,109 women would
be so influenced. As there are about
15,000,000 women in the United
States, according to Mr. Bates, if the
whole lot of women were attiacted
by the advertisements, only about
seventeen men would be.
Charles Austin Bates is a chump,
and he should avoid figures as he
would a pestilenee. Mathematics is
an exact science, and Charles Bates'
criticisms are not exactly a science.
Remarkable Care of Chronic Diarrhoea,
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely enred. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen
town, Pa. Sold by Blakeley & Hough

ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE.
Dollar-a bushel wheat is no longer
a legend. Thursday the market took
a jump, going to 97 cents a bushel in
New York, $1 in Minneapolis, and
staid old Philadelphia "went them
all better" and gave the highest quo
tations $1.02. The rise was 'not all
speculative, having behind it sharp
advances in Liverpool and on the
continent. The market is unsteady
and excited, and it is impossible to
