WHEN TO HOLD THE STATE FAIR.
At the annual meeting of thu Stati) Agri
cultural .Society, held during fair week, it nas
rco'vrd that tho directors should bo request
ed to appoint tho first Monday in October tif
each year as tho time for holding thu annual
fair. ThefirstMo'iday in October this ycarcomes
with rain, and if thu fair of 1882 had been ap
pointed for this neck it would have been a
I uuentatilo failure. The fair was held in tho
full of tho moon, and the delightful overlings
did much to mako thu invasion u success. Wo
have noticod fur many ytmrt as a common oc
currence, though not as a rule, that fall rains
nine after thu full of thu moon, and hao
watched with interest to stu if such would bo
thu case this week. Hiiro enough the waning
moon has snuu rain come. Tho obseration of
otheri is similar to ours. It is very easy to
ridicule all such theories, but the cxporiuneu
of many years is what wo rely upon, arrd wo
therefore suggest to tho Il'iard of Managers as
a safe rule of action to hold tlieir fairs as near
the first of October as pnasiblo when the full
moon can add to tiro pleasure, of camping on
tho grounds. Thu moonlight is a considera
tion worth being mindful of. Wo aru awaro
that such was tho objuot when the time for the
lata fair wto set, and to follow that rule
seem stferaud pleasauteir than to arbitraiiiy
i on tho lirt Mon lay in October as the d ty
lor rommenoii'g all futuio fairs.
THE FILOTAQE BILL
Thera arc patties from Astoria who have
been bus ly employed about the Statu Capital
endeavoring to convince the mcnibers of the
legislature t'tat tlio l'llotige and Tuwagu lull
presented from tho 1WM of Tralu is not a
proper inouincj that it will bo disastrous to
eomurerou and unfair in its working. Thuy
havo a bill of their own, or one they are satis
fied with, that covers tho whulu ground, ami
is perfi'ct in its scope an I particular. Wo do
not wish t disparage tho patriotism ol th)
people who camo fiom Astoria In thu inter
est, but tho experience of pst ytar shows
that seldom uver a mm cama from there to
lobby a legislature who was not after all mora
allietl to sorrro persoirsl scheme or individual
interest than anxious for the good of the pro
ducer of tho Interior.
Wu see much more reason to believe that
the rortUud Hoard of Tiade rooogulre its ob
ligation t the Statu at largo than that few
persons at Astoria connected with pilotage

The time his coiro in rnr national existence
when there ore no great principles dividing
patties, and the strife of politicians is merely
to retain or rrg.in power, and use tho preju
dices that drew men to party associations in
the past, and tho "cohesivo power of public
piundo," to maintain present narty organiza
tions and secure personal ends. To bo a Sen.
a'or of the United Ptates is if the Senator
is in accord with the administration to con
trol the federal patronage of tho State for the
benefit of the national administration and of
tho Senator who appoint'. This gives occa
sion for the machinery of politics, arrd ften
ret u Its in a State "rine" that runs tho ma
chine in tho interest of the friends of the Sen
ator and the administration that ratifies the
wishes of the "ring.
Oarfu Id wns elected as a known champion
of civil service reform His assassination
made possible the succession of Arthur, and
with him we nalira the methods that have for
years past marked the machrne polrtrcs of
Now York Slate. Civil service reform is
buried in the grave of Gaefieldj its monument
is tho eulogy of wasted words with which tho
advocates of the machine deceive the people;
they use hollow words tt mako assurances that
are intended to pacify the honest men of the
nation, but which they r over expect to per
form. Arthur is a plausable and genitl gen
tleman, whosn idei of politics is to win eleo
tious and retain power.
The administration of President Hayes
made the nomination and election of Garlic Id
possible. With a si-callfd "Stalwart" Presi
dent in Ilnym' place, Grant wmld havo been
nominated at Chicago. Very probibly he
would havo been defeated, becauso many In
dependents of his. party, whose votes were
needed for success, wou'd huvo rctuso 1 their
suppirt.
Tiro people elected Gaifltldas an iridicstiori
of rcfori'.; tlieir defeat by tho assaxsin's bullet
has com cited tho administration be so aus
piciennly c ininenccd into tho very thing that
was defeated ut Chicago. Tiie machine poll
tiding, by a sudden revolution of fortune's
m heel, find themselves on top, nod arc run
ning things their own way.
So powerful is tho machina that its man
agers aro unscrupulous in using tho party for
their ends. Hut, after all, it is not oiiiiuf o
tont. The Jime has onto in l'tiimylvania
when independent Kepuhlicaus refuss to work
in party hnriicss, and it remains to bo seen if
thn candid ito forced by the national adminis
tration on New York can bo elected. It is
true that tho naiuo of party is strong; politi
cal prejudice holds the masses, but tho game
hss its limitations. We shall soon see a rising
of the voters of nil parties against tho tyranny

The Wii.lamkttr Faiimeu his resented the
course of Oregon Democrats under the Irnd of
llrovor, who samiticod nil ends to personal
ambition, arid it lately tskes ground against
tiro election of Mr. Mitclnll to tho Senate,
bocauso we recognize in him tho embodiment
of the machine in politics. Under either party
tho country has nothing to fear if the popular
will is honestly enforced "Tho voice of the
poople it tho voice of God 1" Hut if the ma

the fruit on exhibit there, and urged all to
mike the fiuit industry a specift'ty.
There was good clock of tunning and trot
ting horses there, and various trials of speed
oach dsy of the Fair added interest to the o;.
canon. The hoise display was generally gxd,
including mares, ci Its and stallions of differ
ent breeds arrd three Norman stallions of ex
cellence. There were some geod cattlo, in
cluding ono Holitein, Borne Alderneys, etc.,
and some excellent sheep. There was an espe
cially good exhibit of sw lie, including I'olmd
China, Bert, shire, Kssex and Jersey Reds. In
this line of stock the display was very credit
able, as, indeed, it was in all.
Tho pavilion was well filled with ladies'
woik of various kinds that was really beauti
ful, including laces, cmbroiderrc, needlework
etc., that was elaborate and attracted general
admiration.
There was a good exhibrt of cereals, Includ
ing wheat, oats, barley and corn. This has
been an unusually favorable year for corn,
and Gov. Newell expressed admiration for
some beautifully tilled ears of the King
l'liillip variety.
The vegetables were all fine and remarkable
f r size as well as quality. Potatoes were im
mense, but their eating qualities, as he found
them on the hotel table, commended them ti
Gov. Newell's attention. Onions grou u from
the seed were as large as saucers. Klickitat
furnishes wonderful garden growths.
But chief of r.11 tiie attract'ons at the Klick
itat Fair was tho display of fruit. It was
scni'.'ropical in character nnd looks. Great
clusters of exotic grapes added to the fame of
tho region. Seven varieties were shown by
our old friend, S. M. Gilmore, ino uding Roy
al Muscadines, raisin grapes, Red Chaselas
Concords, etc., enough to convince the most
unwilling mind that Klickitat can be made a
frieodly home for the vine. Gov. Newell says
the display of fruits, and especially of grapes,
was as grod for quality and tize as can bo
found anywhere. We notice from tho Gold
eudale Gazette that tlrcio were several exhibit
ors of excellent fruits, and that tho display
included the most luscious poaches of differ
ent varieties; Hartlett pears that had remark
able size and exquisitn flavor; other pears and
beautiful apples of fall and winter varieties,
excellent plums and prunes ot different
classes, and, in fact, fruits of nil kinds of such
quality as are seldom if ever excelled. Soino
of the exhibitors brought fruits that were out
of season picscrvetl in alcohol. Mr3. S. A
Nichols showed seven aniictics of winter an
thrcu of fall apples ; Win. Iliccinh, thnm had
apples, peaches, pears, prunes, plums and four
kinds of grapes; S. .M. Gilmore, seven kinds
of gr.ares, three oc melons, fcjn.ishcs rotate) s,
appte, plums a id p ache.
Uauy interests were Very well reprtecntni
for Gov. Newell spoke of scoing many rolls of
iieautiliil nutter.
There was a brass band with 12 performers
in attendance, and in all rcspocts tho Klick
itat Fair seems to havo been a great success
Its fame will go forth to say to the world that

sought aj interview with him and told him,
and told him that he could mske $8,0''0 by
voting for Ex-Senator Mitchell. That Fcnl
had repeated this, and given him distinctly to
understand that he was authorize 1 lo make
such an offer.
Ford was summoned and sgreed t all that
Nichols had stated, but swore that it wss all
done in joke.
Mr. Mitchell toitifi-d tha. so fir as he knew
of, he had never met Ford ; that he never au
thorized him or any one else to offer mon?y for
votes.
Mr. Mitchell to k great interest in getting
Hob Ford to test fy, and induced Bo l Ilavden
to go to Dallas for .liui. Hayden got Bill
Wntkinds to go with him. Fori refused to
come without he was suhpeenaed, and finally
came, in amwer to a legal summon. Hayib n,
Watkiuds and Ford aio all Democrats, and
have been earnest workers for Mr. Mitchell's
electioi.
On Monday the Investigating Committic
summoned Representative Gilbert, of Marion,
who reluctantly testified that ho had been ap
proached by Ssnator A. W. Waters, of Mult
nomah, who came, by appointment, to his
housi and offered him tho Silem post office
and Si.OO, if he would vote for Mr. Mitchell
for Senat r and ueo his influence for him. Mr.
Wa'crs is connected with Mr. Gilbert's wife's
family by marriage, and very pleasant rela
tions havo existed He had only informed one
re's-jir within the family connexion, but the
matte' leaked out, and thus his evidence.
Senator Waters took the stand and d ro 'tly
denied all the material allegations in Mr. Gil
bert's evidence. He did not deny that he told
Mr. Gilbert that ho expected to be United
S'ates Marshal, i r case Mit:hell should be
elee'ed.
We have only given tha lending points in
these matters.
Up to Thursday there was no change in the
Senatorial vote, and the figures stood the
same, except that Mr. Dunbar, of Washin;
ton, who v ted for Mr. Mitchell, went home,
hut paired with Eakin, of Lane, who opposes
Mr. Mitchell.

STEVENS COUNTY, W. T.
KLICKITAT COUNTY FAIR.
Goldondaln is a thriving town in the Klick
itat alley, tho representative) of t'ro agricul
tural prosperity of that portion of Washington
Territory north of the Columbia and close to
tho Cascade) range. Agriculture has only a re
cent hold on that county, but it is settling np
with a stirring class of farmers who are fast
becomrng producers. That they possess err.
ory and enter) rise is proven by the fact that
they orgauized a Count- Agricultural Society
arrd held their first fair last year, and the Sec
o.td Annual Farr was held at Goldcndale last
week, Wo find some particulars in that en
terprising local journal, the Guldcudale (7i
trttt, and had the pleisure of meeting on Fri
day with Gov. Newell, of Winhingtou Terri
tory, who had just returned from a visit to
the Klickitit Fair and gau us tome interest

n clear knowledge of farnriru,' matters from
personal experience, and takes a warm inter

of the Territory.

overlook the country. It i well enclosed by

affords rjont for air exhibit, arrd there are

and couiideriug the newness of the whole re
gion from au agricultural standpoint, and the
further fact that the past season has suffered
from severe drouth, and we ruuit eourvdo
that Klickitat farnrer desxrve credit for this
effort. The raoe track is half a mile in circuit,
with a irood land for jsuige.
The exhibition was opened by an address
from Mr, Sol Smith, formerly of Kansas, now
a lawyer of Gotdendale, who (poke wisely cf
the great resource of Klickitat county, Dar.
lug the Fair Gov. Newell alto made at ad
dress iu which be called especial attention to
Mr. James Monahon, of Colville, whom we
met at the oth-r day atSpokan Falls, informs
us that settlers aro constantly moving into
that region and locating homes there. Colville
valley has limited area, and tha land is all
taken up along that stream. There are about
135 settlers in tho valley proper, but a great
area of bench larrds arrd bald hills that adjoin
it aro yet unsettled, and will make go m! farm
ing and grazing land. There are other streams
and narrow valleys in Steven county, and in
course of time it will support a largo pop
ulation to irnpi ovo its agrrcultural resources
nnd for stock raising. Hut the far northeast
ern portion of Washington Territory has other
resources worth developing. Limestone
abounds, and when that branch of industry is
improved it will supply building material for
the Upper Country that now has to come from
Puget Sound at great expense. Coal has liecn
discovered in that couuty, and granite and
slate formations exist, and there are undoubt
edly valuabto mineral deposits through all
that region that may sometime well pay for
invctmut of capital and labor
At present Stevens county is bit little
known. Settlers havo been attracted there
liecausc tho military post nt Fort Colville had
to be supplied with necessaries, but the troops
are to bo soon removed from that point, and
then the settlers will havo to bo thrown more
on their own resources. The extent of agri
cultural land nearer transportation that in
vites settlement will prevent any immediate
influx of population to that section, but at tho
rate immigration is coming to tho Pacific
Northwest, it will not be many ye. rs before
Stevens couuty will became better known and
settled. It varied ro'ources will insure for
It great prosperity in the not distant future.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Mr. Thos. Ledgerwood, who formerly-lived
in Douglis county, and was for twenty-seven
year a resident of Oiegoi, now resides at
Crttouwocd,,ntar the mouth of the Spokan
river. Wo had the pi nsuro of meeting Mr.
LcdgcriNond last week at Spokan Falls, nnd he
informed us that tho country al out his row
home ns of thu most excellent toil, and pro
duced good crops the present reason, though
it has been of unusual dryness. From Cotton
wool Spring, some thirty miles northwest of
Cheney, to Camp Spokan, is a distance c f
thirty-one miles through a po fectly beau'iful
country, Wo publish elsewhe-e a letter tik'n
from the Cheney TrVmne, vrritten concerning
the croris in the Cottonwood district, and Mr.
Ledgerw old endortes its statements as en' irely
authentic. Ho says it wrll no'd) for our
people to find out about the qualities of that
portion of the Big Bnd country too suddenly,
as ot ler sections would 19 depopulated.
While not oxactly fearing that result, wo can
say that we lrnvo bee i to Cottonwood Spring!',
and a very beautiful and fertil") country s ir"
rouutls that p'ace.
THE MECHANICS' FAIR.
Last evening we devoted to tho Mechanics'
Fair, and wc havo no regrdU to express at
the remarks wo made concerning it before
hind. It consisted mainly of show of goods
from stores down town. Boots and shoes,
patent medieines, crockery and glassware,
dry goods and groceries, liquors and gaslight,
filled the pavillion, with au occasional gleam
of electric light to animate the scene. There
were threshing machine and harvesters all
in motion, for some of our agricultural ma
chinery men showed enterprise. Of course
there were some articles of home mauufa
turo and of domes'ic gro vth that had merit,
an 1 the floral annex was a delightful place,
but taken as a whole tho Mechanics' Fair is as
great a failure as tho State Fair at Salem was,
i nly redeemed by tho magnificent exhibit of
trains arrd prasscs from the Bureau of Immi
gration in this city, and tho benoficenco of
soino kind gardeners, florists and horticultur
ists who nrsde a d'splay of fruits and vegetaj
lies really worth notice. H. R. Shipley
showed a magnificent variety of grapes grown
iu tho open air, athishonieplacencarOsncgo,
and Setli Luellrng, of Milwaukee, showed a
really grand and cxcel'ent collection of fruits.
Thero were fruits of all kinds from several
oxhil iters, that showed how well this country
cm produce apples, pears, grapes, peaches,
quinces, walnuts, plums and prunes, arrd all
these in great variety. Thcee, combined
tastefully with the grain in sheaves and in jars
that surrounded or festooned the room, nradi
a display creditable to the mis-callen Mechan
ics' Fair, as well as to the State of Oregon.
We shall rrext week notico some olhe
things of Oregon growth or make, but must
reiterate that the fair owes much to the agci '
cultural and horticultural displays, and that
only for this exhibit it would havo possessed
fw real attractions. Some fine fle-cea of
wool and samples of wool were exhibited by
both Koliert Iinlirie, Ksq., of Hillsboro, and
Mr. 1). M. Guthrie, of DalUs.
The valley's greatest charm to the touiist or
traveler, is Silver 1 ike, situated iu a g re in
the mount 'ins at the southern endcf the va1
ley. The lake is four mile long by about a
mile and rlrree quartcrswide. The mountains
rise from its edge at the upper end full seven
thousand feet high. Dense forests bcrdj r the
lake on the west and southern s'des. The
water is as clear as crystal, fish and other ob
jects being visible to a depth of eighty and
ono hundred feet.
The northern end, whre it f mpties its sur
plus waters into Wallowa river, is open and
easily accessible to any kind or class of vehi
cles, the ridge between the lake and the Itv.l
valley being less than sixty feet high. Its
waters abound at all seasons with mountain,
lake and silver trout, sure of them weighing
as hiirh as ten poun 's. It was the wn er s
pleasure on a recent visit to carry home a
catch of sixtypounds, the result of one day's
fishing.
About the 1st of July the annual run of the
famous redfish begins and tluy continue to
stream into the lake for about threo weeks.
When thesa fish fiist arrive in the lake they
aro black in co'or, fat and round; within a
few dayB they begin to ch nge both in shapo
and color, the change being more marked in
the males than io. the females. From black
they change to a deep blood-red color. 1 he
nose of the male I ecomes booked, the bteJc
bowed, and a set of teeth, as large and vio'tus
as thosi of a dog salmon, make their appear
ance Aft r staying in the like a few days
they begin running up tho small stre ms in
such numbers as to literally dam the stre ms.
It would be impossib'e to ride a horse across
without killiug numbers of them. Hun Ire's
could be killed in a d ly with a club Large
numbers of them are annually caught and
packed on the lake by local fishermen, chief
among whom is John Mc&ll, the pioneer, as
well as one of the bfst fishermen on the like.
John is well and favorably known to the peo
ple of Union an 1 Hiker counties, and his fish
have a deserved reputation of beirrg first-claks,
for he spends much time and attcn'ion on the
packing. His fishery and packing rooms are
kept as clean as soap, brus'ies and wa'ercan
make them John lives at the low.T end of
the lake and has quite a number of small
bolts, which ho lo's to pie sure par.ies. He
is at present busy making arrangements for
putting a unill steam Hunch orr the lako next
s rin?, to be let to pleasure parties, arrd used
in towing. The steamer will be bought in
San Fiarrcisco this winter, ana transp rtedto
the lake ready for use next spring. Ano her
feature f Walloni), 'o the pleasure seeker, is
the fine hunting for both large and small
game; deer, elk, s'lcpand bear are plentiful
in almost sll parts cf the valley.
Arum the substantial improvements now
going on arrd shortly to be begun, are two
grist mil's, ono being now built by Mr. J. H.
Reader, a half mile above tho town of Lostine,
Mr. J. D. McCully, of Salem, will next spring
beniii the construction of another mill at tho
town of Joseph, ono mils from the like.
Both have fine water-powe-s. This will bo a
gro it blessing to the citizens of the a'alloy, as
it is annually drained of from $10,000 to
$15,000 for flour alone. When Portland
hunters and fishermen cm roich Union by
rail, no such resort in Oregon can be bo easily
reached which avill afford as good port. We
beli ve it will not bo many years before Wal
lowa will become famous as a summer resort.
NEW ENGLAItys DEI LINE.
From the S. F. Alta.
Tho Chinese are undeniably an unde
sirable class of immigrants! But as
Now England sympathizes and desires
such immigrntion, the other States of
the Union must acquiesce. In I860,
California contained about 400,000 in
habitants 100,000 were German,
French, Chinese and native Oiliforni-
ans; 300,000 were immigrants from the
Atlantic States. More than one-half
more than 150,000 werd from New
England G000 from Nuntucket alone,
and whole towns in Maine were nearly
depopulated.
Now, in 1880, there are at '.east 220,-
000 of New England birth in Califor
nia all these peoplo are now a unit on

We have just got ho ue from the fair and
find the hill farmer nearly done seeding. I
think thore is more fall wheat sown than last
year iu this vicinity. Our grass is dried up
ami tock mt doing first rate. The fruit crop
i not large, and the fruit medium in site.
My Shropshire buok, second Prido of Mont
ford, half brother to Oudmastia Hero, ha
juat arrived, and i the finest theep I ever
saw. Hi half brother, Dudmutin Hero,
rented last year for one thousand dollar. I
like him so well I hare ordered more for this
season. Oar people here want to know who
h rye for aale. Any person having any will
do well to advertise it, dating price and
wnere to be tounet.

Miss V politely inquired a gentleman of
a young lady on tho Northern Pacific
road, as he saw her tupging at a sash
that had not recovered from the preced
ing winter.
She glared at him a momont and gave
a reluctant consent.
" Folks can't be oo rareful who they
speak to or accept favors from," she re
marked alter a long pause.
" That's very true," replied the gen
tleman quietly.
" Are you n Boston drummer V she
inquired.
" No, I am not," he answered.
"A hotel clerk V
" No, not a hotel clerk."
" I am glad of that," said she. " I
never let a drummer or a hotel clerk
speak to me. Maybe you're an actor !"
" No, not an actor."
"That's tir.it class," she exclaimed,
showing her dimples, and becoming more
and more con6dential. " If an actcr
should speak to me I'd die. What is
your business t"
"1m a bai keeper, and I'm traveling
west to get a Territorial divorce from
my wife," explained the gentleman.
" Oh, I'm so glad," giggled tho girl.

Now let the Elixa Pinkston party
shed tnrs and put on sackcloth. That
highly colored dame, whose picturesque
unci pathetio wounds wrung tears from
John Sherman and robbed Louisiana of
its Democratic electoral vote in 1876,
ban been sent to prison for the very
worst sort of stealing. This must be a
terrible blow to Hayes, who owed his
occupancy of the White House for four
yenis to that exceedingly black nomau's
tales ot wrong and woe, which Garfield
and Sherman and the rest of the Repub
lican Committee swallowed down with
as mucli ease as they would take a new
laid egg with their bourbon before break
fast And their decision to ateal the
vote of a State from the Democrats and
give it to the Republicans was all on ac
count ot luiia, wbo was a model martyr
in their days. Since those days the
Pinkston has been left to herself nrottsr
considerably. She has carried on a
driving business at her old trade. She
has killed her husband, but that was a
man circumstance in her dark career.
Shu has finally been caught stealing and
put where other thieve and burglars go.
Elita has now been mustc-ed oat of pol
itics for good. It will deprive the Be-
puuucan party of a pillar of strength in
the South, and tie likely to make North
ern Republicans feel bad all over.
