A pleasant feature of the late session
Of the State Qrango was the attendance

land where there were none before, per
haps owing to tramping the surface by
stock. Some assert their belief that tho
hying of iron rails up tho Columbia, with
branches in various directions, affects the
magnetic currents and epualizes condi
tions with a happy effect on sections that
have been dry and sometimes unreliable
for crops. The present conditions are
f.ivorable to the future of farming east of
the Cascades. There is inducement
enough in crop prospects at the present
time to fill all the eastern region rapidly
with a reliably energetic population. The
increase of production there is great but
cannot easily bo estimated so as to base
a statement upon figures obtainable. The
usual estimate is that the counties cast of
the Cascades will send down 200,000 tons
or about 7,000,000, bushels of wheat. The
best estimate we have seen places the total
of export from the Columbia river at ten
millions of bushels. Thousands of far
mers who commenced last year, and
thousands more arc plowing this year to
nut in crop next fall. Tho increase of
production cast of the mountains will as
tonish tho world in 1884 and thereafter,
but Western Oregon will stand still in that
respect and show progress in mixed hus
bandry called for by new conditions that
must bo met.
Some weeks sinco wo copied a very in
teresting sketch of Lane county from the
JJugene Journal, taking particular pains
to indicate tho authorship. The printer
omitted tho credit and it went to tho world
jm original. Worse and worse, some of
our cotemporaricH aro copying it and
crediting it to tho Farmer. That is a
mortification to us, liecauso wo aim to bo
honest and liberal in copying from our
brethern of the press, and nover omit an
opportunity to reproduce whatever relates
to tho country and its resources. Wo ten

and giving proper credit.
We hear very general complaint that
wild oats aro coming up in land re-sowed
in March. Of course that is not true of
nil land then sown but no doubt a great
deal of wheat land is ho troubled. Tho
question has becomo important as to how
farmers aro to rid their land of this pest.
J t seems easy onough to soo what is tho
best course to tako with fields whoro wild
unts como up with tho wheat, Wild oats
and wheat combined mako tho best of
liny and such fields should bo cut early,
beforo any oats can shatter, and boforo
they nro ripo onough to seed. Hay is al
ways valuable and tho man who will
iitillw his fodder to make beef for Port
land market next winter has a rather
uro and safe thing of it. Don't lot wild
oats ripen and tako tho Holds for if you
ilo, you will not live long onough to ever
pet rid of them.
The fruit crop of tho wholo North Pa-
ciflo shows tho effects of tho season.
Western Oregon and Washington will
have small yield of all fruits, owing to tho
premature opening of spring. Tho pleas

THE MORTGAGE TAX LAW.
The Legislature of last fall enacted that
mortgages should be taxed in tho county
where tho mortgaged property lies. Tho
courts have sustained tho law and it can
not bo set aside. It is tho paramount law
of tho land. But the courts also decide
that money loaned by foreign corpora
tions is not liable to Oregon laws ; that a
foreign corporation can loan money at
whatever premium it chooses to demand,
and it cannot be taxed hero when it pays
taxes in another country. So foreign
capital is independent of our tax laws, and
they only apply to homo loans. Capital
resents tho law, and money lenders say
thoy will not loan in our State unless tho
borrower pays tho taxi So, virtually, tho
law is inopcrntivo, or rather our usury
law is inoperative. Even foreign money
declines to invest in a State that interferes
with it in this manner. Tho complaint
is not so much that money is taxed, but
that it is unfairly taxed, and that it is so
wo havo repeatedly shown in tho
Farmer.
Our laws pretend to assess and tax all
property equally. Real and personal
property is assessed at 40 to 50 per cent,
of its valuo. That is tho custom through
tho Stnto. Tho tax on money is for its
full faco ; therefore it pays over twico as
much tax, as other property, and under
this unfair condition of taxation tho
monoy lender evades tho law in whatever
mannor ho can. Probably two-thirds of
tho monoy in Oregon goes untaxed be
cause of this oppressive and unjust dis
crimination. Wo do not uphold tho man
who swears to a valuation that leaves his
monoy unnsscssed. Ho is a criminal. But
tho law is at fault that gives him this
much oxcuso for being dishonest.
Before tho Legislature sat wo called at
tention to all theso things, and took tho
position that it was necessary to adopt
somo system as law that wouL insure
that all proiwrty should pay taxes in tho
county and district where located. As
capital to tho extent of ten millions
ovaded taxation, and existing laws seemed
to offer inducements for dishonest returns
to assessors, wo showed tho advantages,
that would result from exempting money
and'its equivalents from taxation. The
constitution of Oregon Bays all propeity
shall bo taxed alike. Under this supremo
law there can bo no change to relievo tho
money louder, and ho is driven (as ho
says) to oviulo taxation. Exempt money
notes and accounts and tax nil property
whorovor found, and there would bo no
ovasiou, no corrupt practices, no fulso
swearing, no unequal division of taxes.
Wo will review tho arguments in favor of
such a course.
Now tho conscioutious man who loans
monoy is doubly taxed, while the unscru
pulous money lender "swears oft"" in his
return. That is u hardship to honest men,
Wo showed, three years ago, that
110,000,000 of money evaded taxation. It
is probably much greater now, Tho
former law did not tax property that was
mortgaged, and in consequence many
counties and country districts lost rovenuo
on properly in their limits. To remedy
those evils the mortgage tax passed. Ex
perience shows it involves much trouble
and expense in keeping record of mort
gage, and money lender threaten to
withdraw their capital from tho State. In
any case they make tho borrower pay tho
tax, which is a practical breach of the
usury law. All these things unito to
strengthen belief in our former suggestion
that money, notes and accounts should
not be taxed.
Our laws have a tendency to restrain
capital from coming horo for investment.
interest, Tho unscrupulous man will
bring money here trusting to the possibil
ity of evading the tax law. Tho consci
entious capitalist will stay away because
of our laws. To tax all property will w ork
no hardship, after the money market has
time to become established under the new
conditions. Tho borrower will get his
loans at lower rates, and so suffer no
hardship. Money will come hero more
freely and bo loaned with less suspicion.
Every inducement, on the part of the
State, is offered to secure the change in
the law, as wo will proceed to show.
The defects of the old law wero mani
fest, and do not need recital more fully
than to show that it bred dishonest prac
tices and many millions evaded taxation.
Many counties suffered for want of rev
enue. The mortgage tax law involves
great expense to each county to keep the
records required ; there is a tendency to
exclude capital, and money lenders refuse
to make loans. Tho operation of the law
is unpleasant, and it seems to be a failure,
though we may heartily endorse its object
to secure a fair revenue to every locality.
To exempt money, notes and accounts
and tax all property where found, estab
lishing a State Board of Equalization,
would simplify taxation, equalize it thor
oughly, and secure to the State and tho
counties all tho revenues needed in the
most just and equitable manner. There
would bo no inducement for dishonest
practices. Assessors would tax only what
was tangible and visible. Their duties
will be much easier than under compli
cated requirements of any law for assess
ing money and mortgages. Money would
soon flow into the State to reduco inter
est and enable enterprising men to estab
lish industries that now aro not possible.
So far as personal interest goes we aro
strongly identified with thoso who need
cheap monoy, and wo advocate this pol
icy from principle.
Taxation has perplexed tho greatest
minds that havo over grappled with
financo and always will, but our view of
tho matter seems to bo simple and fair.
The trouble will bo to bring tho popular
mind to realize the faults of our old sys
tem and to have faith that liberal legisla
tion towards capital wilt bring about the
results wo predict. Tho world is too
jealous of capital to bo liberal towards it,
but that is tho true policy.
THE OREGON STATE OBANQE.
much if tho members would only har
monize and co-operate. It may not be
that all granges need to co-operate in the
same manner, for tho purchase of sup
plies, as many districts possess a competi
tion in trade that secures tho purchaser
from imposition. There aro many ways
in which granges can realize benefit from
co-operation and it is the province of the
grange to look up such chances.
Wo can heartily commend the order to
the good will of farmers. It offers social
and educational benefits, and opportuni
ties for business, as it is organized so as to
make it possible to work in union. The
want of confidence existing among farm
ers, as a class, is a great detriment and
hindrance to them. Association and
more intimate acquaintance has a ten
dency to create confidence and harmony.
The farmer should bo a social being, capa
ble of taking a part in everything that
concerns him and concerns his fellows.
The grange is certainly an educator. It
tends to mako better farmers and better
men and women.
The columns of the Farmer have always
been ojn to communications and we
have always published grange notices free
of cost. Considering the benefits that
would accrue to tho order if its members
would communicate proceedings and de
bates in granges for our columns, tho ne
glect to furnish us with grange literature
seems to be culpable. We do all that we
can for the order. If its members neglect
to use the means wo so freely place at
their disposal, it seems to us that the pre
tenses of zeal are very hollow.
The annual session of the State Grange,
last week, was a pleasant reunion of the
representatives of that order, and tho
three days they were together were en
joyed very much, from pleasant associa
tion as well as from attention to tho du
ties of tho occasion. Tho condition of
the grange through tho jurisdiction is
healthy, and in somo instances shows a
very decided gain. Tho influenco of tho
order is sensibly felt wherever it is known,
and its advantages aro enjoyed by many
who aro not connected with it. There
was, of couroe, much routine business.
Tho session was chiefly occupied with this
necessary work, but tho members found
time to spend nn evening at tho hospitable
rcsidenco of tho Worthy Master, Brother
B. P. Boiso, who is a practical farmer as
well as a jurist of great renown. Thurs
day evening tho Pomona Grango was
held and tho fifth or Pomona degree, con
ferred in an impressive manner on a class
of eight gentlemen and si ladies. The
finances of tho order are on a snfo basis.
Tho Stnto Grango has, fortunately, been
able to redeem standing obligations that
wero incurred somo years ago, with mem
bers of tho order. Tho misfortunes and
mistakes that occurred years ago, did lit
tlo serious harm, but caused failure and
loss of confidence. Tho order was
launched hero under very fuvoiublo con
ditions and buiiiCM ventures wero entered
upon that wero not Miccossful. Tho loss
of membership that resulted proved a
serious drawback. Sinco then no busi
ness ventures havo been undertaken with
out great precaution. Considemblo suc
cess has bojn realized in Yimous direc
tions. Enough has been accomplished
to show that safe co-operation is possible.
Wo have repoatedly alluded to tho success
attained by tho grango on Williams creek,
in Southern Oregon. Co-ojiorntion there
had a smaU beginning. A grango pic
nic wns held that yielded $130. Sub
scriptions added tnado a capital of $350,
to commence with. Thoy selected a reli
able agent and opened a small stock on
his farm. That store now has 3,000 capi
tal, one-half of which is earnings. It has
brought to terms the merchant near by,
who has grown very rich selling goods t:
miners and farmers. Ho has reduced
prices 25 per cent. Buying for cash that
store gets goods at lowest price and
commands a growing trade. Owing to
the success of this enterprise tho mem
bership of tho Williams' Creek Orange
has greatly increased and all matters con
nected with it aro healthy and sound.
It seems as if every Franco in the en-

RAILROAD BUILDING SOUTH.
Ever sinco Oregon had a history the
country south of the Willamette was
isolated and peculiar. Early mining ex
citement gavo prosperity to it. When
mining was no longer profitable farmers
were left with their farms on their hands
and little demand for their products. They
became stock raisers. Tho climate of tho
country is peculiar. The hills are granite
and sometimes tho valley land is sticky
mud over which an empty wagon cannot
go. Wo speak of Rogue River valley,
where there is much excellent soil and a
delightful climate. The want of better
facilities than a daily stage affords has left
Rogue river so remote and isolated. Very
soon the Oregon & California railroad will
reach Jacksonville, or its vicinity, and that
charming region will experience such an
awakening as will recall the days of its
mining prosperity and excitement. Jnck
son county is a mountain region with
a rich jewel of prairies and valley lands,
set among its hills and ranges. It will
require nn immense outlay and herculean
labor to make a pathway through the
ranges on the north and south of it. W
read with interest of the engineering that
explores those wilds and shows how the
road is to penetrate them. There are
numerous tunnels to be made, the road
will bo tortuous at its best, but another
year will seo Southern Oregon connected
with California on tho south and tho Co
lumbia river on tho north and enable it to
prepare its luscious propucts of vineyard
and orchard for shipment. We know that
vineyards and orchards thrive there but
do not know tho extent of lands that can
bo put to such uso. Wo suggest to our
en terprisingcotemporaries there, that they
could not do anything more useful to
their section than to describe the whole
county fully. Show tho extent of its
arablo land and tho proportion adapted to
fruit culture. For this purpose they
should secure the aid of practical orchard
ists, men who know what land can grow
frutts to better advantage.
It will bo a happy occurrence when
railroad connection with California also
gives us easy communication with South
western Oregon. It will secure a denser
settlement of that region, induced by its
unrivalled natural advantages and remark
able climate, which combines the best
qualities and products of the country
north and south of Oregon and Califor
nia. Its resources includes mines of gold,
silver, cinnabar, copper, lead, iron and
coal, and forests of valuable timber. The
southern country has resources that in
sures a great and prosperous future.
last week, from Mr. B. L. Gardener, dele
gate to the State Grango from Baker
county. Twenty years ago wo resided
two years in that county and knew about
its circumstances. Then the east side of
Powder River valley was left to its natural
condition of sage and sand, but now the big
sago land is known to be tho most prolific
of all soil. Mr. Gardener related his suc
cess in farming it, with irrigation to some
extent, and exclaimed that it was now all
claimed and had become very productive.
There is a great acreage of such land
along Snake river and in time, under tho
influence of the railroad now building to
the Oregon boundary, on Snake river, it
will become ery prolific. We inquired
of him what ho knew about tho country
south of him, and he informed us that
judging in part from his own observation
and partly from reports that his neighbors
made of their prospectiong, the country
south was very valuable and would sup
port a large farming population. Between
Willow creek and the Malheur river, in
Baker county, there is a well grassed up
land ten miles wide and twenty miles
long, on which tho waters of these streams
could be taken and develop a farming
region of great value. Again, between the
Malheur and Owyhee rivers there is simi
lar land of even greater extent. Mr.
Gardener says the world has no real
knowledge of tho actual value of the
region referred to ; that it has little waste
land, is not too elevated and frosty to pro
duce grain and must ultimately receive a
large population. So it goes, what is
known of the country demonstrates its
value. The good lands of Ochoco and of
the Malheur rivers aro not far apart, as
the mountains narrow at the head of
those streams. There is much good land
capable of cultivation, in the limits of the
Blue mountains, that will be occupied in
due time. In the very southeast corner
of Oregon the map shows a largo area
that is put down as " undulating table
lands." This is now used for pasturage
only and stock men always decry "the
value of their ranges for farming pur
poses, for whenever the farmer gets n foot
hold the occupation of the cattle kings is
gone. The construction of the short
line railroad and the Snake river branch
of the O. R. fc N. Co., will open tho eyes
of the word to the resources of Southeast
ern Oregon. These consist not only of
farming and grazing lands, but of mines
of precious metals and of metals used in.

without better cvidenco there is no hope '

except to let the wells nlono if you do not
wish to pay tho royalty.
We hear of extensivo hop planting
this spring, and learn that men with
means havo ventured into the business,
with the intention to remain in it and in
crease their plantations every year. That
this region will become a great producer
of hops is evident. Thero is a great ex
tent of country where hops can grow to
advantage, and if there is inducement
anywhere to plant hop yards it is here,
where soil and climate insure larger crops
and thero is no blight or insect known to
injure tho crop. Thero are few countries
where hop yards thrive so well and yield
so abundantly as they do north of Cali
fornia. We also know that thero are
many prosperous hop growers in Cali
fornia. The statistics of the hop trade
bIiow that hops have averaged to pay well
taking the price received for thirty years
back as the criterion.
SOUTHEASTERN OREGON.
The extent of country in Oregon capa
ble of sustaining an agricultural popula
tion is an unknown quantity, because a
great part of Eastern Oregon is undevel
oped and there is no way of judging of
its actual resources. Only within a few
years, since the Northern Pacific Railroad
has induced development, has tho value
of tho Spokane and Big Bend country
been understood. Yakima and Klickitat
and Stevens counties, W. T., contain mil
lions of acres of arable land and will soon
receive greater attention. Thero is one
halt of the State of Oregon concerning
which evon less is known. General opin
ion says it offers few attractions and is
only fit tor stock range, but we learn oc
casionally facta that indicate that there is
a great deal more good fanning land south
of the Columbia than is commonly believed.
We gained some valuable information, I
MUTTON SHEEP.
The valuo of meats is so enhanced that
it seems as if sheep breeders should take
pains to secure a breed of sheep that can
command extra price as mutton. Wo
hear a great deal about tho richness of
English mutton. Travelers from the old
country say wo have inferior mutton and
good livers who cross tho ocean, assert
that wo have no mutton to compare with
that they ate in Great Britain. A week
or so ago our correspondent "Salem,"
briefly but forcibly' asserted tho valuo of
the merino as most profitable for all uses.
Money is what regulates values ; if, as our
correspondent asserts, there is more money
in the merino, that will regulate the
market. Ho is correct in insisting t at
when the merino pays well it is good pol
icy to keep on breding merino sheep. Tho
best is what pays tho best. Wo have, as
a people, found millions of income from
merino sheep and can safely keep on rais
ing them. But we hope that enterpris
ing farmers will experiment and
thoroughly test the value of the best
mutton breeds. If they can put on the
Portland market mutton that will com
mand a premium and give reputation as
well as profit to the producer, we hope to
seo it accomplished. Without disparag
ing the merino, that has yielded such a
profit in days by gone, we can test the
value of sheep. Tho man who cannot
I afford to experiment should keep on with
his old flocks, but there are enterprising
men among Oregon farmers who will
never rest until they produce a first class
mutton sheep, fitted to stand our climate,
that will-yield a good fleece while com
manding a premiun for superior excel
lence of its meat,
