WILLAMETTE PARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON. MAY 5, 1882, PLAIN FACTS FOR FARMERS. After o third of a century of cultivation in the Willamette Valley, let ua ask ourselves ; What are the results ! Wheat cultivation, on a largo scale, has only been put in practice a short time. Settle' located here and farmed to some extent before 1850, but they did not grow wheat in any great quantity for export for the first twenty years. About a dozen yearsago we commeupcil to export wheat to Europe. It can only bc sa'd that crops have been exhaustively produced during the past fifteen years. We will take that as a basis for argument and see whither vc are drifting. A few years since, when all the ex port supply came from this valley, w e pro duced and shipped abroad 100,000 tons of wheat, equal to almost 5,000,000 bushels'. The exports of last year do not show the sur plus product, becauso there were 20,000 tons of wheat ot the previous crbp carried over. All the exports of the past year, deducting that held over, only .equals three fourths of the production a few years since; 120,000 tons agaiust 160,000 tons a few years ago is a pcoi showing; that, too, when all appearances last summer indicated a larger acreage and an average good yield. But looking to the future shrewd calculators say they anticipate a iur ther decline in pioduction; that the surplus for export will bo less thun last jear. So se ask Willametto Valley farmers : What it the matter? During the past few years the aiea of production in this valley has been in creased, as thousands of Chinese have, clcarid lauds that have been put into wheat. Wo have not had a uteat increase of population to feed, as any advent of no v comers has been offset by emigiation of old settlers, who have sold out to immigrants aud moved Last of the Cascades. I'ortland has crown, but not enough to demand greatly incieased supplies. Other towns through this valley 1'ave re maincd stationnrv. at least hae shown no decided increase. The question that we are Beriously called to faci is : Is the beautiful Willamette Val-b-y becoming poorer ? Is it a natural result that it must become poorer? We do not thin so, but as we find little increase of production in other lines io offset the decrease in wheat, it looks as if the farmers o this valley were fa'ling behind instead of making progress. A natural feelinir of pride would make us shun such a discussion, but truth must bo met The manly course is to grapple with facts and ask our readers to assist us to a solution. The area of wheat was never, perhaps, greater than in 1SS1. Ono reason of decrease was becauso the yicldof su.nmer fallowed land and fall and winter sowing was injured by the weather in April. A hot spell lat in March, was followed by cold north winds for weeks afterwards, and winter wheat suffered. But w o believe that poor farming caused the greater part of the decrease. The day is gone by when any sort of cultivation will bo re warded. We must now have thorough culti vation. Many keep on plowing, sowing and leaping, until weeds choke cut wheat, and they do not get pay for labor and seed. It is a common remark from new comers that they see a great deal of poor cultivation. We need reformed methods and recognition of the fact that soil will not forever respond vithout in ducements to do so. Farmers need to be educated as much as men who engage in the so-called "learned professions." A lawyer or doctor has to study continually to keep up with the age. A farmer should read and experiment and inves tigate, or else he will fall behind. Through this valley there are too many who never do anything of the kind; who follow their old methods until the soil wears out or weeds choko the crops. When fences and barns rot down and they cannot make a living on the land, they curse their "luck," sell out to some man (who has brain", we hope), and go somewhere else to repeat the farce they call farming. We do not regret the lessened production of wheat if caused by mixed farming, for wheat production alone will not sustain a people and maintain the soil, but we do not learn that other products replace the lack of wheat. What we urge is that a farmer should always have something for sale. Stock of all kinds; fat tened hogs; dairy products, fruit and many things that create variety. What we base an opinion on, concerning the prosperity of the farmers of Western Oregon is, that they -are struggling with debt in many instances, -and do not have means to feel independent. All through Western Oregon there are many who own sections and half sections ot land, and are actually not as well off as they were ten years ago. Many put in heavy crops, and work bard to harvest them, who have their land mortgaged or are heavily in debt, or at least only hold their own, with a very poor grip, when one would suppose they could -acquire something substantial as returns for their capital and labor. That farming here can be made more pros perous we fully believe. We submit the w hole question to our readers, and ask them to note which of their neighbors are most suc cessful as farmers and most prosperous as in dividuals, and then give us the benefit of their conclusions as to what such prosperity is based upon. If w e can show how prosperity can be secured, it may incidentally benefit those who take the Farmer, and even react in favor of the many who are too wise to take an agricultural journal, much less believe any thing they see in print. Thk Enrlish government has released Par nell, Dillon and O'Kelly from jail, and will also release all suspects not fully implicated in outrages. This is the inauguration of a more liberal policy that, it is to be hoped, will re store peace to Ire land and lead toneeded reforms in the government of the island. .This liberal movement by Gladstone is resented by a part of the Cabinet, but will be welcomed by the world at large as a good policy to be pursued. David & W. G. SltlL have laid ua under obligations for a nice directory of post routes and express offices in Oregon and Washington. OREGON AND WASHINGTON FARMER. On the first of June we shall commence publication of a monthly journal, with the above title, which will be devoted to the pro gress and development of the Pacific North west. The journal will be intended for circu lation at the East. It will contain compila tions from all the journals published in Oregon and Washington, showing the development of each section, and also many original articles prepared expressly for the Willamete Far mer and the monthly edition to be styled as above. The fact that a great interest is felt abroad, and through the United States, concerning the Columbia river region, and the necessity of furnishing reliable information concerning this region, has induced us to commence such a publication. We are aware that mauy people in Oregon aro desirous of sending news back to friends East, and this monthly publication will contain just the sort of information they will wish to send. To secure the success of tliis enterprise, Mr. Clarke will travel a great part of the time. Ho will visit in person every important portion of this wide region, and write up, on the spot, all facts of inteiest. In this way we inteud to make the Farmer interesting and reliable. The price of the Oregon and Washington' Faiimm: will be seventy-live cents a j car, and uo comitend it to those, w ho desire to send reliable information to friei ds in other States, concerning all partsof, the Columbia region and other port'Oiis of Oregon and Washington The amen linmts of the Smate to the Chi neso lull have been adopted by the House, and by the time this issue goes into circulation will, no doubt, hae received the Picsidrnt's signaturo and be a law, It suspends immigra tion for ten vears instead of twenty, as provided by the first bill. "telegraphic news. Iltnljullcal Atlrnii.it Io AnsaMlnuic lnuilcr Ijill, FleM mill liiitenporl. New York, April 21). A dastardly attempt was madti to-t ay by some miscreants nn the lives of Win. H. Vauderbilt and U. V. Field by sending tliem explosives thiough the mails. Fortunately the dangerous Lluracter of the packages was discovered en routu to the p'ist ntlice station and probable loss thus prevented. Tlio circumstances ot the case as related by Postmaster Pearson aie a3 follows : Two missives tame into the posr office about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. One was posted in the office and the other brought in by a collector a few minutes afterward. The last one was addressed to Win. II. Vandtrbilt, 45'J Fifth aveun-, and the first was adilreosul to Cyrus W. Field, Lexington avenue and Twenty-third street. The packets were placed in the mail bag a'ong with other mail tor up town districts, part m a mail wagon and taken to Third avenue on the Elevated railroad to the station at the hea 1 of Chatnam street, and then deposited on the front plat form of the car. The train started up town and before reaching tho station at Ninth street and Third avenue an explosion was heard fiomamail bag, an 1 fire and smoke wcie observed to issue from it. When the t ain stopped at the station the burning bap was hastily transferred to tho platfunn, as railroad people were afraid to transport it any further on the train. It was taken down stairs, placed on a wagon and taken to the post ofhco station at Twenty-ninth strtet and Third avenue Superintendent 'Mosher, in charge there, dispatched a messenger in haste for Postmaster Pearson. When that official arrived half the burned mail bags and con tents w ere examined. The pack age addressed to Field was plungei in'a bucket of water, for fear it might aUo explode, and when tlior oughly soaked was examined. It was found to cousist of a pasttboatd box, covered w ith gaudy floweis and pictures, and had a small drawer in it, from which depended a string, as it is supposed, for the purpose of drawing it open and causing an explssion. Inside the lux was found a tin can, containing half a pound of powder and a glass jar coutaing a white powder and a liquid, believed to be some kind of explosive, but what it was none of the post office officials "could say. It will be sent to a chemist for analysis On the packages were ten 5 cent stamps. 'It was Vanderbilt's package that exploded, probably caused by the jolt of the cars when rounding a curve out of Bowery into Third avenue, and but for w hich occurrence the packages might have reached their destination and exploded in the hauds of the parties to whom they were addressed. Til a contents of the mail bag were scorched by the explosion. Post office officials are making vigoious efforts to trace the packages to the parties who sent them and no stone will bo left unturned. Ptst master Pearson Bays he will hunt down the ruffians who made the attempt. Ntw York, Apiil 30. Early this morning John A. Davenport, 310 East Nineteenth street, visited police headquarters, carrying with him an infernal machine similar to those sent Win. H. Vauderbilt and Cyrus W. F;eld yesterday, and evidently prepared by the same person. It had been placed in the hall way of Davenport's house last n'ght and ex ploded at 10 o'clock, setting fire to the doo.' matting, but doing no damage. The intention evidently was to set fire to the house. The machine was a cigar box bound with wire, and contained cotton, which was set on fire by an explosive, the powder being ignited by a fuse. There was just lutlicient powder to shatter the bux and ignite the cotton. The box was probably intended for Superintend ent Walling, the letter W. being written on it, and he living a few doors distant. I'nrle Ham's Pel. Lorp-.bcro'N, M April 30.

A Diabolical Scheme. Moscow, April 30. A man named Kobo sipht Bogdanonitch, recently submitted to the authorities a plan for the illumination of the Kremlin with the electric light. In quiries were instituted aud it was d'scovercd that his intention was to blow upthewhoW Kremlin during the festivities attending the coronation of the czar. At tho min's resi dence were found new peasants' capo, the crowns of which were filled with explosive material.

Concord, Mass., April 30. The last rites over the remains of Ralph Waldo Emerson took plaeo yesterday afternoon, A special tiain tiom B 'ston brought many people, and almost every buildiug in town boie some drapery, public buildings being heavily draped. Services at the house were con ducted by Rev. W. H. Fumes', of Philadel phia, and were of a simple character. The aged mother of the poe, his wife and daugh ter Ellen, sat near the coffin. After services the procession formed aud the body taken to the Unitarian Church, a short distance from tho house. The church was crowded, ai-d when the body was placed iu front of the pulpit Judge Rock wood Hoar took his place at the head of the coffin. When family aud r ends wero seated, Judge Hoar began a beautiful address with the words "The beauty of Israel is fallen in its high place." Selections from scriptures followed and Rev. James Freeman Clarke delivered a long and interesting address on the life and works of Emerson. Prayer and benediction closed the services. The people of Concord then looked upon the face of the dead and tho coffiu was closed and borne to the cemetery. Rev. Dr. Haskins, Episcopal clergyman and member of the family, read the 'Episcopal burial service and the body was lowered into tho grave. The people and clergymen then united in re citing the Lord's prayer, closing with the words "and deliver us from evil." The grand children passed by the open grave, each toss ing upon the coffin a bouquet of flowers and the ceiemonies ended. Near by his crave is that of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Among the more prominent persons present wore Oliver Y enaetl Holmes, Uenrgo w Uliain Unrtis, u. W. Cooke (Emerson's biographer), Wm. T. Saigent, Geneial Bnnks, Judge Russell, Damia E. Ware, President Elliott and Profs. Pierce, Hosford, Hilts r-nd Morton of Har vard; Mr. John A. Andrews and daughter, and Rev. Mr. Green, of Montreal. . Democrats not Favorable. Washington', May I, There is no inclina tion anions Democrats in Congress to vote for the bill to establish a court of appeals on the ground that they don't believe in the policy of increasing the number of federal courts or judges. There will probably be determined opposition by Democrats of the House. Mem bers of the House concede the ne"f ssity for such relief to the supreme court as will reliev e it from the enormous business now jefore it and prevent accumulation of cases hereafter; but many, if not a majority, express the opinion this relief can be given without euch increase in judiciary as the court of appeals bill provides for. When the bill reaches the House, Manning's plan of dividing the present supreme court into thr'e chambers will prob ably be offered as a substitute. Murder and Kneape.
