grand epitome of the new of a day through
Out the world.
Tun cold rain for a few week past have
caused some injure to crop. River bottoms
nd low prairie are covered with water and
ome field are di owned out. We hear that
While the wheat Is backward the weed and
wild oat are forward. It i undoubtedly
true that too much wet lias done harm. Thi
all remind us that our favorite text holds
food against all such seasons. We claim that
grass is betttr than wheat alone. Grass didn't
feeze out and need to be resown, Gras
doesn't suffer Iroui the wet or dry weather as
wheat does. If you have good meadow or
pasture the wet da don't choke it out. Then
again, on the very land that most complaint
1 now made of trouble from co'd or wet
weather aud from weeds outgrowing grain,
the grsatwill giow more satisfactorily than
any where else. Our plea in favor of grass
holds good throughout the year in all season
nd all part of the country.
i
JURIS! AND ORAND JURIES.
The jury system is vousidered one of the
safeguards of liberty. Trial by jury was an
achievement of the greatest importance when
It was inaugurated. Hut when we consider
the weakness of the syrtein and realize the
frequent failure of justice and the actual
frauds that often occur iu ttial by jury, es
pecially iu large citir, iu our day, we wouder
what the world enjoyed, in tho way of secur
ing justice, before trial by jury was actually
achieved. A few week ago, in Pennayl
Tanla, the man Pukrs, who slandered the
daughter aud then murdered ber father, was
oquittcd by a jury agaiust the evidence and
gainst the plaiu- instruction of the Judge,
Be goes froe of penalty, except that which is
warded Mm by a rublio opinion, that ha
opinion cat tbua assert itself, a it sometime
docs, but it makes no amend for outraacd
justice that such is the case. To cite case
after case would be easy enough, for wo all
know that trial by jury is cteu a farce, and
sometimes a fraud. The man Dixon walks
Washington, most likely with Brady' and
Doreey's money in his packet, a reward for
the verdict that did not convict them iu tho
first Star Route trial. All the wmld waits to
see if tho second jury ha been "tampered
with." Every day in tho year, in every State
in tho Union, the farce of trial by jury goes
on and is met by the world's scoin.
Grand Jury often puzzles the wisest brain
to decide if jurors are incompetent or dishon
est. It is true that Grand Juries are gener
ally composed of good men and do good work,
but the exceptions, when they occur, are
fearful, as in the case of Star Route matter
ouly last fall. Too olten juries are "packed.'
for political or criminal purpose. The collu
sion of court official can accomplish a
thorough defeat of justice, and actually doea
do so.
Our own State ha seenal 1 the evil of the
system, badly illustrated. It is not possible
to get convictions in certain matter, because
it is not possible to exclude prejudice or inter
est from the juiy. In other words : Justice
is not possible, unless you can "pack" a jury
with men who have more regard for princi
ple than for self.
The fault of the Grand Jury system are
great and many. Too often the criminal es
cape, because the evidence cannot bo re
tained. The fact that the Grand Jury has to
indict is often a shield for the criminal. It
should be that the findings of a police court
should hold a man for trial by the Circuit
Court and compel attendance of witnesses.
While it is easy to denounce a system it is
not always easy to set up a better one. Stupid
and vicious as the system is, the world was
not so well off before it possessed it. We
occasionally realize that trial by jury is a dis
grace to truo civilization, but as its failure is
based on human frailty and weakness too
often wickedners it is only by avoiding these
that juatico can bo administered. Human
effurt has created law'and asserted principle,
but human perversity has spared no labor to
make law ineffectual and to prevent justice.
Lawyers there are, who stand before the
world distinguished for legal acumen and
great wisdom and teaming, who will accept a
fee a readily to make tho law ineffective, and
destroy its validity, as to assert the highest
principle. It h tho fen that incites the argu
ment. It is something like it that influences
the juror, who is "fixed" to bring in hi per
jured verdict.
We hear many boasts concerning the ad
vancement of mankind, Progress has resulted
from invention, and science and art have
worked modern miracle. Tho science of law
occupies the highest minds. All bow down
before the namo of law. Yet, when we look
at the weakness or wickedness that go hand
in hand to cause uncertainty of justice and
make tho courts unreliable, we recognize
that, at its best, with all it progress and sup
posed elevation, the world that has the
present jury system as it highest achieve
ment in perfecting justice, ha yet much to
attain befure courts of law can be looked at
as perfect.
We candidly believe that to abolish juries
and create high tribunals to put the law in
force would be a step in advance. If tho jury
ystem was a neceasity and a triumph, it has
lived its day and scrod it end. Tho world
deserves something better.
Tho atatute contemplate that jury rolls
hall be compiled from the name of th' most
reliable citizons. The law intends rightly; it
is human depravity that prevents justice. If
juries could be composed of tho beat material,
and jury aervice be exalted in the minds of
all, more certainty could be relied on. Some
propose that jurors bo appointed aa officer of
justice and hold position for stated service.
If juries are to stand for all time aa arbiter of
hw it would bo well to adopt some such eay
tern to securo the appointment of bonest and
competent men, or restrict the solection of
juror to those well educated and qualified.
It is evident that juries are too often swayed
by corrupt motives, or weakly yield to pas
sionate appeals; whereas, the finding of a
Tonlict should be the result of a fair mind'a
conviction. Too many serve a juror who
mean well enough, but have not wisdom and
experience to judge aright; who cannot fairly
again passe a bill for the purpose. A slight
tax either on the property or the business of
the c'ty will answer the purpose. If ships
are to ground every day in tho year on the
river bars that will encourage competing points
to make tho most of the situation for them
bcIvcb and against Portland.
In this juncture, when Congress has lift us
in the lurch, somrthing should be done. If
the city prove equal to the occasion and takes
hold ol the work, it will create a good im
pression in the country and make friends for
the city. There is a city dredger, and a gov
ernment dredger can be used. All that is
needed is for sufficient money to be subscribed
to keep them at work.
In reality, here is opportunity for Portland
to win respect and deserve the good will of
the country. It will be simply working for
its own good and for it best interests. The
town has a fight to make i struggle for su
premacy, and the sooner its citizen find out
that they must work out their own salvation,
the better it will for them.

WHAT PORTLAND SHOULD DO.
The failure of the rive; and harbor bill that
was before the late Congress works a very
groat disadvantage to tho Statu of Oregon,
which had many interests at stake aud especi
ally to the city of Portland that is vitally in
terested iu the improvemet of the Columbia
and the river betweeu its wharves and the
ocean, "To bo or not to bo," ia the question
that stare Portland in the faoe. There is a
hundred n.illious of value here that will be
Increased if the city can hold its position and
retain its prestige. The immediate question
is not improvement of tho ocean bar, but if
the river bar can be made available to com
merce so that leaded vessels cau work their
way down.
The country is intereited even more than
the city. Impediment! to commerce aro a tax
on products. So tho producer is most in'cr
ested of all as he stands the losses that affict
commerce.
Portland aspire to lie the commercial me
tropolis of the Northwest aud she ia entitled
to lie o it she inaluttma herself aright. It is
not an easy "walk-over," however. There
ar competing point with great advantages in
their favor, both down the Co'umbia and on
Puget Sound. If the city iutends to deserve
the respect and rmtrousge of thi producers,
on which its hope mainly depend, it must
make efforts to supply the money Coucrtaa

Last week we published the remark of
Mr. Villard to the Board of Trade and citi
zen of Portland, and thi week we give hi
remark to the committee of Astoria citizen
concerning the railroad in Western Oregon
and the prospect of continuing the road from
Forest Grove to Astoria. Mr. Villard more
than any other influence the destinies of Ore
gon and of the Pacific Northwest. The public
miud ia exercised to know if he will consult
the best good of our region, as most of living
railroad managers do, consider only the
capacity of the country to be taxed to sup
port hi enterprises. A Mr. Dodd expressed
it when reading the address of reception, our
people and merchant are anxious to know if
a more just and liberal p li :y is to be pursued
than is extended by the Central Pacific to the
people of Ca'ifornia, or if the relations between
people and railroads shall be here as there.
The best way for our readers to be enabled to
judge of Mr. Villard' intentions ia by com
paring his action with his words, so we can
not do better by them, in so important a con
nection, than to publish Mr. Villard's utter
ance. He t ilk plainly and seems to evade
no question that anses. So far he ha shown
great business sagacity and remarkable finan
cial ability. He has done wonders towards
developing the Pacific Northwest and if he
will be just in bis dealings with the people of
this region they will have cause to respect
him.
Reading his account of the difficulties ho
ha encountered and overcome will give an
idea of the great ability necessary to conduct
such enterprises. Mr. Villard is a remarkable
man. He needs only to show the magna
nimity hi friend attribute to him to pass
into history as a man worthy of the world's
respect. He has acquired millions already aid
human ambition may well be content with
the wealth and distinction so honorably won
without striving to acquire greater riolies at
the expense of the world' esteem and his own
good conscience. Our readers cau read and
judge for themselves. They must concede
that his remarks make very interesting read
ing. "Death loves a shining mark" and has just
tiken from the circle of our friends ono who
waa so beloved that it seems impossible that
her gentleness, youth and beauty are lost to
earth fotever, Althca Moores was one of
twin sisters born to our friends ia Salem,
They have been looked upon as possessing a
treasure above price in their children. They
grew up to womanhood. She who is now just
gone, possessed traits so pure and lovable that
it is natural ahe should be transferred to celes
tial sphere. Death camo with alow aud iu-
sidiou touch. She faded away aa beautiful
flowers do. The ft lends who watched
and hoped, could do nothing but watch
and hope and minister with loving care.
When the last hour came ahe was conscious
and prepared. The choir she so long belonged
to and knew so well, from tho church
near by, sang her to sleep with beautiful
hymns of her own selection. With Heaven's
hymns floating her over the dark river she
was transferred from the sound of earthly
voice and harmonies to the wondrous musio
of tho sphere. They weep for her at home,
but "Our Father's house has many mansions."
One who sorrowed for us all, went, long ago,
to prepare a place for her. There is left to
us, on earth, the beautiful memory of one
who never uttered on unkind word or act. In
the moment of parting she taw, with rapture,
her sister and her father, whom we knew so
well and who have gone before. They wel
comed her to the home to which we cannot
follow.

tens relating to the Pacific Northwest and at
tho present time thousand are coming to
make homes here. The flood tide of immigra
tion is clos at hand and will be at its hitfbt
when the Northern Pacific toad shall bo in
operation, which will not be delayed longer
than three or four months at furthest. The
new comer and the intending settler are anx
ious to know practical fact concerning farm
ing, for the great majority of them are farm
er. So we w ill give a small review of the
different section and the production most
successful in each.
The Willamette valley ha been generally
farmed to wheat, a producers have looked to
tint as their most reliable crop. Wheat al
ways bring money, at some price. Wheat is
successfully grown over all parts of Oregon
and Washington, except localities near the
ea and exposed tt aea winds and moisture.
Even there the land may produce wheat, but
it is not always of the best quality for milling.
The Willamette region is well adapted to all
vegetables and many fruit. It is a good
country, Beaidea wheat, oat and rye and
barley thrive here. With thorough cultiva
tion the average yield of wheat is 25 bushels
to tho acre. Many realize 35 and 40 bushel,
and some even more than that, but these are
exceptional case. Oat will yield 35 to 60
bushels. Barley i not a favorite crop, as
in California and east of the mountains. Rye
is only grown in small areas. Corn sometime
ripen well but it apt to be late and is not a
safe crop, though early varietiea generally do
fairly. It grows well enough for fodder.
Vegetables of all kinds do well. The valley
i diversified with hills and prairie. The bot
tom are excellent for vegetables and for hops.
Of the latter, trial has been made in different
portions of this valley with universal success.
Fruits thrive, except that peaches and
grapes are uncertain in cold-r seasons Prob
ably there ia no country where apple, pears,
plums and prunes, cherries and all the small
fruits, grow better and yield greater returns.
Of pjars thi whole region seem to produce
iu unusual perfection. Our cherries are the
best possible. Prune grow well and bear
prolifically, not troubled by the curculio or
any other insect pest. The business of fruit
growing is attracting much attention and will
be more extensively earned on each year.
The capacity of the hill sections of Western
Oregon and Washington to produce the fruits
named will be greatly appreciated as the years
go by and our people learn that tho North
west, east of the Rocky Mountains, will be
our great market. The establishing of fruit
drying concerns, and of fruit canneries, must
become universal.
The excellence of Oregon fruit ia conceded
by fruit dealers in San Francisco, who asserts
that in flavor our product far excel any that
are grown there, yet California has reputation
as excelling in that respect.
All small fruits thrive here and possess very
great excelence. Market gardening and frnit
raising have become permanent industries in
tho vicinity of Portland and all the valley
towns.
What is true of the Willamette valley is
also true of all the different sections of West
ern Oregon and Washington. All this region
is adapted to producing excellent grass. The
hay grass is generally timothy, that yields one
and a half to three tons to the acre, according
to locality and soil. Good permanent pas
tures are made by growing drifferent varieties
of clover, timothy, orchard grass, English rye
grata and other varieties of grass mixed.
Clover doe well every where, especially in
cleared forest land.
Tbi portion of Oregon and Washington
affords many good locations for dairying. Men
experienced in that business will find a wide
field here to put it in practice.
Meat production is stimulated by the high
price of all meat. Any person who ha made
a business of fattening beef, mutton or pork
could safely engage in the aame here as there
is no fear that meat quotations will decline.
Hop growing ha become an important in
dustry in many parts of Oregon and Wash
ington. On Puget Sound, in Puyallup valley
and White River valley, extensive hop yards
exist that have produced wonderfully and of
great excellence. Hops raised in either State
have a high reputation and hop growers have
been greatly enriched thereby.
Take the whole region north of California
and west of the Cascade and it possesses a
climate which insures good product. Growths
are not forced here by hot seasons, but all
things grow steadily and mature gradually,
o as to develop to perfection all the qualities
that cereals, fruit and vegetable should
po. ess. It is true that in cereals, and all
other products, this country surpasses Cali
fornia, where everything grow rapidly,
aometimes to enormous size, but lack the
perfect flavor of our northern product. Thi
ia the verdict California dealers give. Our
grain sells for a higher price, in Liverpool,
that the best of UalHornta yield.
On Puget Souud they raise hay, oats and
uifciroo, tui ucir abapio crop ana unt a
market for much of their products in Califor
nia. Their hop yard are increasing; some
very large hop yard are to be planted thi
pring.
Southern Oregon possesses a milder climate
than the Willamette; Jackson county can
produce corn, peaches and grapes successfully.
All that region Rogue River valley it
especially adapted, to fruit growing and mutt
eventually take the lead in that line of
products.
East of the Cascades stock interests prevail,
except where railroad construction has made
it possible to transport products to market.
Iu those sections wheat growing is the regular
thing, In both section east and west ot
the Cascades wheat can be sown in the fall
orapnuj. fcast ol the mountain the common
thing his been to sow in the spring, but
imme r-fallowing is now becoming the raid.
In the Paloute country they frequently plow
bushels to the acre or even more. Dr. Bla
lock, on his farm near Walla Walla, had 50,
000 bushels of grain on 1,000 acres 50
bushels to the acre. Another farmer, near
there, had 6ver 2,100 bushala on 30 acres
over 70 bushels to the acre. The whole in
land territory is well adapted to wheat and
barley and heat ranges from 25 to 50 bushels.
When well tilled the land about Walla Walla
averages 35 bushels.
Barley is another favorite product and
yields heavily. Oats produces well. All
vegetables grow in abundance. There are
some localities, having considerable elevation,
where the more delicate fruits and vegetables
are not certain to mature, but the most of
that country produces a large variety of fruits
aid vegetables and cereals as well.
They frequently raise wheat, cut green for
hay, but timothy meadow does well on low
lands. A peculiarity of the Upper Country
is that its dry atmosphere enables the wheat
grower to take his time in saving and thresh
ing hi grain. Ho often stack his hay with
out shelter,
Cora doea fairly. We heard, last summer,
of field of corn that yielded 30 to 40 bushels
to the acre and ripened well.
Hop have been successfully grown in
Yakima county, W. T., east of the Cascades,
and oau be raised on low land and bench land
generally.
Wool F? tho next farm staple to wheat, that
i tor export. East of the monntain tbey
have immense flocks of merino sheep and clip
6 to 10 pound per fleece, selliog so as to net
the prudent sheep raiser a haudsomo profit.
The wheat farmer of Western Oregon keeps a
mall band of sheep, to act as scavengers
generally, and especially to clean hi summer
fallow. Wool and quality with him are
secondary, but the wool sale is an important
help in the early summer. Wool growing
must always be a very useful aid to good
farming. Sheep and wool deserve the greatest
care and attention. Umpqua valley is greatly
devoted to sheep husbandry and it wool
ranks high.
Cattle command a very high price and the
farmer can make largely by keeping them.
Horses thrive especially well in all this region.
In this branch of stock raising we excel and
Oregon horse stand well. The Pacific North
west is well supplied with draft stock, road
sters, and the best trotting and running
families, a well aa the best strains of heavy
stock are well represented in all this region.
It will be perceived that this section of the
United States is capable of producing to ad
vantane the world's great staples, including
many items we cannot afford room to particularize.

Governor Moody's Residence Burned.
Mr. George H. Junes' residence in Sonth
Salem was partially destroyed by fire on the
morning of May 3d. It was occupied as a

PETER COOPER.
Who recently died in New York City at a
good old age, should be remembered as a man
who loved hi fellow men. His name is
familiar to every reader as a philanthropist
one who did cot wait till death came to in
augurate his Bchemes of benevolence, but for
very many years he enjoyed teeing the bene
fits of his liberality. He was, perhaps, better
known a the founder of Cooper Union or
Institute devoting to this a laige sum of
money, as a mean of a general diffusion of
knowledge among the masses. A practical
working man himself, and of a generous
nature, he early began to study the needs and
wants of hi own city and people. He ipnt
650,000 in the building of Cooper Union,
afterward endowing it with $150,000. The
principal feature of this institution is evening
schools for young men; young women are also
admitted for scientific classes; social and
political economy is taught. A day school
of design for women, as well as photography
and telegraphy are all taught in a thorough,
practical way; endeavoring to advance and
find employment for those who succeed in
learning. These schools are all free of charge.
Twenty-live every day attend the lectures, or
iu some way reap the advantage of this great
charity. Had he left all this to have been
carried out by 'Trustees" or "Directors," it
is not at all probable that hit withe would
have been regarded cr the money spent a
economical a it was done under hi own eye
and supervision. In Cooper Union there is a
monument to his memory that will last to
eternity.
