His report concerning damaged wheat is llmtltU; spring grivn goniotinirri h af fected with rust nnd mote or !p;s in jured, according tocircuhistunrfi Tho lenf, or bliulo, it sometimes rtisl.'d with out much diimngo to the grnjn. In tome instances tho grain U very badly hur',' apoilingwh.it would be, ulhui wise, first quality whoat. W'm. J. Hen-en, agent for tho Salem Flouring Mill, informs us that the Kinney wheat, which h extensively grown near Salem, and not cUewhcio in Oregon, hn3 been considerably dam.igf d and is usually unfit for making good Hour. This grain mat tires early nnd tho pod partly opens as it turns ripe. His theory is that this occurred previous to tho Inst rains in July and tho eoiihe quenco is that, as the heads stand well ing before noon, nnd tho disease steadily increasing the plague could be no longer doubted. Sandusky experienced a fearful plaguo nnd for weeks tho citizens died off like sheep with the rot. A trench was dug nnd forty or more buried cveiy day. So many left that only one fourth remained to brave the postilcncc and finally it too stoppoil. That was a lime stone legion and history proves that lime water encourages cholora. Hon.i K. N. Cooke, deceased, was there at the time and lost a biotherand other fricmls. One would meet a friend, both bound on missions of meicy, stop, pass greeting'1, wish for God's blessing on each other, but never meet again. It is n fearful re sponsibility to build a houe injudi ciously, much mote so for authorities to up, water remained in tho cup thus neglect proper sanitaiy measures for a formed nnd the wheat shows i-pots of single residence. Cholera and typhus SiTtivc wiiKAr ! innic or led riiitcd. This is the loport wo meet with on every curlier. Tho quality is not badly af fected however. .T. jiijM'a mile-, of barbed who manufactured in tho I'nitid Sinlc-this year, an equivalent of mora than i!."(),CW miles of fence.

No one will -dl at fi."i cents, and wo don't hlamo them. Newr in the hi-tory of wheat growing in the Willamette valley has the piieo been id lo'v. Tiii:i:k ji vy bo a failure in some crops this year, but that of niicals was never uuywheio near as large, and tho prospect is that but a sin ill proportion of it will bo propuily harve-tcd owing to the very impei feet w irUtu; of the in ichincry of the law.J Ki:mi:'iiii i: the .State l'.iir1 will om boheie. Wo ti list the people will all take nil inluvsl in it and :-ee to it tint it is a "itc'v-s. lleinember that there aro nnny to'iiists at that season of the yoir who will visit our Fair, lt them eeo 0io'on in her finest gaib. Tub Srvrn Fair is eloso at hand nnd unusual prepaiations aro being undo to waids a successful exhibition. Tho nie I'hunienl department piomises well and tho exhibit of products will bo un equnled. Let idl eoirie and bring pcci nicus of all kinds and swell the interest. Mk. Si si i-y is naturally nithu-iistic over tho fertility of. the Congo region of Africa, whore, be suys,uiny be cultivated tho cereals,' rich and tropical frnilt. When till tho nvailablo oil in the I'nitcd States for theso crops is utilized it may bo noil for Americans to look into his new agricultural ter i'mv. The Sai i:m ST.vrt'' . . has undergone a chango and is now ownod by W. II. Hyars. It. J. Hendircks and George S.mbeit. Tho imjirovement in tho mechanical and literary depaitment is (jtiito noticeable. I'nder tho present management, we see no reason why a good reliable interior journal cannot bo build up and mado to pay well. We wish the Statesman success. Thkiu: will bo more leisure after hai- vo.st, nnd then it is expected that many fmmuiM wUl favor their paper with com munications, suggestions nnd hints. This number is not badly olt for corres pondents, but don't foiget that all aio welcome, and that you can do more, good by the publication of tho good things you li.no discovered than in any other way. The OitriiOMVN announces to its U'.uluis and tho public that they will oulargo and introduce larger type. This will bo hailed with delight by the fann ing populati"ii, who as a rule havo poor 'eyesight and are obliged to read mostly by o.indlr.iht. They havo recently purchased new presses, etc. The Ore gouian loadi the way aud is in advance of tho lined- uf this section. mold and is generally damaged by ac tion of water. The old White Winter wheat dioops over whou ripe and does not open its pod, so can withstand the elements hotter than many other vaiie tics can. We hear from Monmouth and Independence that winter wheat there is uninjured. Uiit has injured Chili clul and the California spring wheat that was so liberally repoited a year or so ago. That is not due to tho variety of wheat, however, but to the conditions that invito nist. Mr. Hotrcn calls our attention to tho fact that he has written to us 'and (lis com aged growing of Kinney wheat for soioral years back and says he is now moio dispo-ed against it than ever be fo'ie. When Mr. Albeit Kinney was ngeut for tho Salem Mills he imported this seed and paid n premium of '2 to ." cents n liiishol to encourage its cultivation, Inning strong faith in its value. Mr. Ilerren says he sunt several .-ample packages of it to Ihig'.ind to have it clas sified at Mark I.nne and they di-cor.nted it at the rale of I! to 3 cents per bu-hel iiL favor of white winter wheat. Mr. iti'ii en believes that ono-eighth of the wheat of Marion county is damaged by tho mold, or discoloration spoken of, nl-mn-t entirely on Kiunev wheat. Wo hoar farmers say that tho hills nnd up lands generally have fust quality of grain and that 'rust only strikes late sown spring wheat on the lowe.-t land. The most sevious complaints of damage done conies fiom Washington county, where moro rain fell in July than in the upper valley. That county is moie sin rounded by hills and moie Jill 1 1 with forests than counties above it and tbeie- fore is morn liable to rainfall. and typhoid and other plagues only come w here human negligence and pro found ignorance prepare the way. MORAL AND POLITICAL PURITY Thotwogrc.it political pa i ties have placed their candidates in nomination and are waiting tho decision of the impe rial republicas the final aibitiiment. The world looks with greater degree of inter est than common. A strange combina tion of circumstances weakens and strengthens each of tho parties. Inde pendent Itcpublicans, of Xew York chiefly, assert that Blaine does not come up to their idea of a political rufonnor, while Cleveland, they say, does. On the other hand, a defection occurs among thoso who have hitheito supported Democratic nominations, based upon tho opposition of a ceitain class of work ingmen to Cleveland, because they asort his political history does not iiispiiethoni with confidence that he is the rtliablo fiiend of the laboring masses. Another lemaiknblo fcntuio of the c.uupiigu is the nomination of Stats Fair Restaurant. We aio promised a restaurant nt the State Fair grounds this year that will bo a credit to tho association and just the place for visitors to get a tip-top meal. Mr. Bob Thompson of tho Thompson House of this city has rented the large theatre building east of the Pnvilinn nnd will fit it 1111 ill n Style of "oriental magnificence," so to speak, for his patrons. " One thing dead sine Mr. Thompson will give those who patron- lzo mm litonty to eat ami uoomju m good home stvle.

On tho train, Roing to l'ortl.uul, on Moiulay Inst, wd met with farnior who vuv:.euto.l tho avi'rapo yield of wheat ih very bikhI. In this wtlley wo nro having u U'ttor yield than lma Ihvii known for boveral years. A Rontlenian onj;:ij;el with n Uirchitig outfit repn souts that nil tho grain ho litis thtvhstxl wont from 5M to 25 bushels to tho acrn. lt is n gi-o.it bios-Mug to the world that tho fouiful jiliigtio which was lvcenlly biought from Asia to Franco, and has c.uiced hundreds of doaths in Toulon and Murscillos, on tho southern eoa-t of that country, hits at lat, yielded toban- itary ineaaiucs ho that tho contagion do cro.ies and its .xpread is limited. One vory iiunorttiut featuro of this time of plaguo is that science has made a more rtorfect study of its foaturos than has over been mado in former times of plague. It is hoped, by tho highest medical authority, that a specific will ho found for it as has been tho case with small pot. In that easo tho world will have done away with humanity's most deadly foe; its most terrible pesti lenco will bo a terror no longor. Symptoms of cholora occur overy year iu various localities and mauy deaths occur from summer complaints that aro sometimes fatal, but not neces sarily so. As science goes on with its studies nnd experiments life become moro safe aud onjoyablo. Tho careless ness of m.i".y persons induces disease and actually eultivntos it, Tho house without sullieiont drainage, or where food is illy prepared, is a post house and lit my a pest house is far from being a (uuitariuiti, but is ratfier a nur sery of disease. Kvery house or room devoted to bitch uses should bo well lo cated and kept clean and pure. Any ono who has had a living and dying oxperienco with pestilence will dre.nl it ith the niot intense appre hension. Tho year before coming to Oregon IS 10 -we were at Sandusky City, Ohio, where tho disease suddenly came upon the sleeping world at mid night. At that hour wt were taken ill, and as we followed tho directions of a friend who was a physician and dread ing its coining prepared medicines with full instructions. It was a terrible night, but when wo recognized tho symptom wo took tho ntcdidine and towards looming obtained relief. Wo thought what would euro Asiatic cholera would sttWy any kind and it did, but when morning showed that from 12 midnight until 0 x. m. 15 death occurred in a population of 6,000, as many more dy liutler by tho woiking men, labor le- fonnors and tho greenbackcrs, who claim him ns their champion. liutler will poll a heavy oto in some localities and his candidacy it is said will hint Cleveland. Ceitain rumors that involve tho moral char.ictcrof one of tho leading candidates alo enter largely into the canvass and tho foulest at-pei-ions nie mado against Mr. Blaine, who replies to their publication by ordering tho In dianapolis .Sentinel, which published tho icport, to bo immediately prosecuted for slander, claiming $:!0,000 damages. He docs this, ho says, been u so these ni- niors aperse tlie pimty ami honor cf his wife. Leading Democratic editois who havo investigated the Blaine repjrt piououco it without foundation in fact. Wo also load in tho po'itical news that many Iri-li oter intend to support Blaine, who have hitherto voted other wise. They assert that his course in maintaining tho rights of our adopted citizens is in accordance with their views. On tho contrary, it is claimed that many C! rmans ho havo been Bepublicans, will this year voto for Cleveland. Blaino's foreign policy is so distinctly American that Knglish journals and statesmen opposo his election as hostile to Kngland, which has, no doubt, some ell'ect on tho Irish ote, to turn it to wards lllaino. Tho pro-ent campaign shows a remarkable weakening of old party affiliations nnd piomises to be ex citing to its close, ns well as uncertain. In its attacks on privato character it goes farther than any piesidenti.il elec tion of which wo have record. ThU powiler lever nrla. A manel of purity ttrtnjth nnd wholesoinenLB.
