A CHEER1XG OUTLOOK.
Many more good things can be
said of ISO" than was possible of its
predecessor. The contrast between
the year just closinc and the one
preceding is a most cheering one. J
Jfatute has bestowed a bountiful bar- j
vest, and the world is willing to pav .
good price for it. Mottles have
been lifted, debts discharged and
more labor given ernplo.vinciit. Jfo
one will den that prosperity is upon
us. It may not have come to all;
there are some individuals, perha)s, ,
who feel the pinch of poverty now
as much as ever, but it is not in the
nature of things that all should be
blessed alike.
The condition which confronts
Eastern Oregon is full of hope. The
price of wheat remains at a satisfac
tory fignie, while the wool market is
steadily strengthening. The immense
immigration which will reach the
racific coast in the spring will give a j
still greater impctos to business and
r
assist the permanent material inter- j
CStS of the country. I
Tm - i .. ,i . a '
fe0t by thC IMSl j
ga&rd betflrIor the future. Let us '
icaember that economv is necessarv j
, . . : . , , ' I
Jft all things, and -to him that hath j
afcucb shall be given." We need no '
rttnrn of '-boom times," no specula-
... , . ' '
tnre conditions whereby fortunes are
n&de in
a day and lost almost as '
quickly. We have just recovered
from one sickness of this sort, and
are in no mood to contract the dis
ease again. A healthy business life
is wbat the nation needs, and it is to
this that every indication points.
TEE BEST EVIDENCE.
Where are the patriots who but a
little over a year ago loudly de
claimed that the country would sink
to rum if McKinley were elected?
If there be any sti.U inclined to the
same forebodings, h is time they are
making their prophecies good. We
fear the task is too much for them.
In this connection if the calamity
boilers will read the following ex
xrepTTrom Dun and Bradstrects re
ports, their wailings may be silenced :
"The new j-ear opens with condi
tions radically different from those
which prevailed a year ago. Great
pnancial distrust existed then, bul
has passed away. After a whole
year of entire freedom from disturb
ance nr alarm, in which the country
has mid foreigu indebtedness, paid
Billions for stocks sent from abroad,
and accumulated credits against other
credits represented by merchandise
balances, more than 4i0,000,000 in
l& favor for the past four months,
with deferred exchanges for more
than 20,000,000 held by New York
banks alooe, while the great injus
tices have been pushing their way
into foreign markets with unprece
dented success, the monetary situa
tion is no longer a matter of anxiety.
More than half a million men in a
few states, according to official re
ports, are employed now who were
idle u year ago, and the general ad
vance in wages of those employed
has gone far to restore the rates pre
vailing before the panic. The vol
ume cf business through clearing
bouses for the week, 1 4 2 ier cent
larger than in 1892, has for the
mouth been 0 3 per cent larger than
in that year. In many industries
and branches of business, the latter
months ot the year have surpawed all
records."
Xot only to itself has the Orego
uiau done great credit by its mam
woth New Year's edition, but the
whole Northwest appears in an envi
able Hf lit by smim of this produc
ties. The resume of the resources
which Oregon and Washington pos-
cess is presented la manner that
canaot fail of being productive of
benefit to ctj locality mentioned.
Few people, crtn among those who
ere in daily contact with the evi
dence of it, bad such an idea of the
wonderful section in which we are
living as can be gained from rending
tbc descriptive articles in this excel
lent edition. The articles arc judi
ciously written, iu a calm, truthful
manner, and details are set forth ad
mirably. This, edition is free from
exaggeration, and is in every wav
deserving of praise.
The Orcgoinan
has given the Northwest a good start
for a prosperous career in 1S0S.

divers wen employed, and the depth
to which thev could decmd did not ex-
ceed 35 feet.
mtn tne introduction of diving ap-
paratus the limit of depth was increaHcd
to 30 fathoms. The best divers could
formerly remain under water not to
exceed two minutes. A modern diver
thinks oothinc of a two-hour stop in
watr 100 feet In depth, thouph at great
er depths the ttiay is neccKRuKh .short
ened on account of the enormous pres
sure of the superincumbent water. A
diver when upon the floor of the ocean
looks about for the oyster, which he
tears from the object to which it is at
tached, and place it in u small bag
hnncinp to a rope, which in hauled into
the boat on a piven pigttal. Sometimes
the numlK-r of oysters wurwi is larj,'e,
at other times only a few- arc caught.
The diver does not confine himself to
the pearl oyntr alone, but if he sees
a rtuv specimen of '-oral or a new spe
cies of shell ne place it in his Imp and
send it to the surface. vh-re it become;
ziie property of the concession and the

.Last year the value of the pearls har
vested in Lower California was ulone
$350,000. In addition, 5.0O0 tons of fihells
were exported, which were valued at
$1,230,000 mere. Penrl flshinp is the

was about throe-quartern of an inch

Many black pearls are found in Lower
