Wi: ( am. nltontion this week to our "Pioneer History" article. It will lie found to contain ninny interesting items. There is n Inrge ntiinhcr of BubjcctH dis cussed mill (rented. These nrliclcH nto nttrocliuB tnucli nttention throughout tho State, nnd should ho read by nil who desiro knowledge of tho "early days." Wi; iikaii complaints that fall grain is not well tilled, hut since tho rains of Inst week wo presume tnnt such rumors nro without foundation. Tho dry wnrm weather of n week ago did retard tho iilling proems, hut tho rains have un doubtedly ehnnued nil this. Them will Ik? nn uvornge yield Ihroughout nil the Slate, especially in full grains'. VALUE OF HOME INDUSTRY. In hor tyrannical dnys Knglaiid did not permit hor eolonios to carry on iniinfnctiires, they could only produce tho inw material for tho looms of Kng laud to wciuo into doth. One of tho great causes of complnint on tho part of Ireland.Jis that Kiigland for centuries smothered enterprise in heland nntl for hid tho Iiinh to wciivo into linon cloth tho thus that was grown on their soil. Tho government of Kngland know that tho producer of rinv innterial was hut a erf, while tho manufacturer hecamo n prince, o it was in curly days in America. Our forefathers demanded wider scope for their enterprise; greater privilege in trade mid innnufactureH; tho crenin of all wits to Ik) for tho mother country, nnd tho colonics rebelled hocauso they haw only povorty and depredation if thoy were merely lo work for Iirltinh manu facturers and lnnrchnntH to get rich on their lnlior. AVo ttnlny ocmtpy such a position to tho older woild and our own country as tho colonies lilled n country since. We merely produce cheap bread, cheap wool, cheap llax, cheap lmnlicr and- timl cr and such mntcrinl as we havo in natural abundance. If wo go to any great city we can seo why it Ih great and prosperous. If wo scan carefully tho ratio of population wo shall find Hint New York, lloston, Phil.idelphlit, Chicago, St Louis. Omahii, nnd other .noul cities hi America, nnd nil the great cities of the world, possess a working nnd iiiiuiu f.iJturiug imputation that is a sourcoof wealth as well as a source of population. Thero nro towns liku Pullman, near Chicago that are founded by some ono manufacturing idea, rulluiau is the place whore a multitudo of cars nro built for Mirious rnilroaiU. livery water power in New Kngland hits been im proved to run factories of various fabrics. Out West, wheio natural towers are scarce, they use cheap coal, r natural gas to drive machinery. In grent cities tho water companies furnish power to drive thousands of minor iiiiuhiues, like sowing machines, and as .nvention goes on, electricity Ikvoiiics important Hut our point is attained when we show that manufacturing is n Kiurce of population mid wealth and without it no country can thrive and prosper We do not gain imputation a rapidly as does California, ami wo do not gam wealth as wo might, and the solo rciMUi is that wo do not manu facture at homo the nrticles that we use and could mako. We thought of tho importance of this matter the othei day after visiting the crrnigc factory of Mr. Wesley Jackson, .ii oith IVntlaud. lie informed us that he put up the best of family hacks and e.pits uluclcb ami old them to good men on time, quite as cheaply as any timilar vehicles are told that are mado in tho l'uet, yet ho has no trade of con hctpience in the alley counties. Wo wrote up his busiuots last winter, and ahowed that ho had f .10,000 in ttock of various chicles of his own make. Wo alo showed, from the experience of people hcio, that wagon made of Ore gon oak and Hitbjtvt to the hardest tisago, havo ttood wear, tear nnd ex jHwuro for twenty years, and are yet rtMily for constant lirtl usage, while no tingle instance can bo shown whero any Kastem mado wagon has stood the same weur and cxikisiuo and not received greater repairs than they. We must manufacture and our people mutt organize to patronize homo in dustry whenvxer wo cuu do to. Xo better two can bo put to tho Grango ns a co-oporntivo nnd organized nsocintion, than to havo it ninko n study of tho sub ject nnd induce Eastern factories to establish branch shops witli us in Oregon, that will consume our raw material, sup port our producers, nnd bring skilled lnborors hero to do tho work required. Mr. Jnckson is nn enterprising man with considerable public spirit ; ho has in vested tho earnings of successful busincsi in manufacturing nnd using Oregon timber in so doing. Holms n just claim on every fair meaning man nnd Ore gonian,and should have tho support of farmors becnuso his business is of vnluo to nil of us. In this connection wo must say thnt ono great detriment to homo industry in Oregon is found in tho organized efforts of skilled business mon toonnosoit. Tho great agricultural implement houses havo each of them i-corcs of agents nnd thoy nil compote for trido at oxpenso of our own manufacturers of farm imple ments, wagons, hacks and machinery. Wo recently rend thnt an Eastern factory had shipped hero a car load of fi uit driers. Tho consignees havo their agents in the field, hunting up custom ers, nnd those driers wilt bo sold despite tho fact that wo havo tho host driers possible, invontcd nnd manufactured hero in Oregon. Our neighbor, .lory, wo think has a better fruit drier "tho Ore gon" than can bo brought bore. Yet fruit-growors will not stop to consider the value to their own State of homo manufactures, but will buy what is forced on them by somo smart salesman. Again, wo say, let tho Grange hccouio an organization thnt will foster homo in dutry and work lo build up the State, its towns and cities, nnd incidentally add to thoir own prostwrity. Thero is no ono tiling or so mueii imiiortanco and ... . . . . ho indispcnsihlc. A multitudo of email enterprises will find room to work nnd will train thousands to work and earn money. Oregon can never equal Cali fornia until wo havo manufactures at every hand and mnko tho goods wo uso and more to send abroad. FRUIT 0R0WEHS MEETIN0. A meeting of the North Pacific Fruit ('rowers Association was held at Port land last Tuesday, attondol by about twenty horticulturists of this region. Considerable time win occupied by E. W. Allen, E8q.,latocoinuiissionerforOre gon at tho Now Orleans Exposition who is expecting also to tako charge of an exhibit of Oregon products, next month, nt San Francisco, during the (iraml Army gathering thnt is to ho held thero. The Board of Trade of Portluud have mado an appropriation of livo hundred dollars to aid that object and Mr. Allen has been designated to tako chnrgo of tho mutter. Mr. Alton asks that fruit growers, and others, aid to till a suitable room that litis been rented for tho pur pose, with such products ns can then bo exhibited. It is our opinion that whilo California will thou havo n great variety Oregon cannot do horself justico by any thow in August. Wo doubt our ability to make any showing of a satisfactory nature so early in tho season. Very few of our fruits will bo ripe ; cherries and small fruits will bo gone and wo shall neither have pears, apples or peaches to show, thoughtve can produce Homo lino plums. The meeting ditcussed tho propriety of taking steps to make Oregon known ns a fruit growing region and it was de cided that Ikixos should bo marked "Oregon fruit." A motion was voted down to require fruit dealers to put the growers liauio on boxes, and tho meet ing showed good business souse iu not requiring or attempting too much. Some called up the old story that Cali fornia is sure to claim all excellence it can appropriate by stamping our goods with their brand, but it was shown that in respect to prunes Oregon leads the world and tho name Oregon in that con nection has become honorable. Wo can soon mako our State known and ap preciated for any excellence it jmssesses and need not fear that California or any other region, can long claim our pro ducts. The best Oregon prune has no equal el.o whore; tho best Oregon cherry it unsurpassed ; tho pears and apples wo grow are able to speak for themselves-, wlieu wo can grow poaches they nro equal to any grown in any country, so it is unnecessary to try to do aught to sustain our local reputation. All wo have to do is to produce enough of any thing to possess commercial value and the world will give us all the credit wo desene. It Wing the cherry season a number of samples of smiling growths from Oregon fruit-growers were shown, that surpass anything wo know of that exists. Scth Luelling, of Milwaukee, showed a large black cherry, ns crisp and haul as tho Hlnck Republican and equal in size to tho largest Itoyal Ann, whilo its flavor is superior to that or tho lllitek Kopublican. Hy tho bje, Mr. Scth Luelling originated thin same Hlnck Republican and this new chorry is pro duced from that. Ho had a box eight inches wido thnt held eight in a row, tightly pressed in. Mr. Henry Pretty man showed a similar chorry, not so jet black, perhaps becnuso not yet ripe fully, that was equal in sizo to tho Luelling fruit. Each measured single, cherries that wont thrco and n hnlf to thrco and throe-fourths inches in cir cumference. Mr. Prettyman's is pro duced from tho lloyal Ann and is equal to it in sire. Thcso two vnrioties of cherries nro phonominal both as to sio nnd quality, and should ho propagated tho world over. J. II. Scttlomicr, of Woodburn nursery, showed n sntnplo of original black cherry, from Black Republican, fully equal to it in size and superior in llnvor, but ho frooly owned that tho others excelled his. At the snmo time his is very fine fruit. Mr. Lculling also showed a can of canned prunes that were of rcmnrkablo excellence. Tho fruit originated with him from seed of the Italian pruno and ho considers tho fruit nlmo9t superior to its parent. Wiiiio tho Italian is black tho soodling is n rough grcon or orango color, he calls it tho golden prune from its color. Tho society adopted resolutions of re spect and sympathy for J. K. Portor, ono of its members, who recently diod of consumption. Mr. Porter's last work was n list of good fruits that was published lately in the Faumkii. Ho was an earnest fruit-grower, u good man and citizen and will be missed wheio 'l. i t i ULB' KU"' NO HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. Tho civilized world of late has been watching with deep interest the progress of (ihulbtono'ri party iu England, on the proposition to establish homo rule in Ireland. The great English statesmnn fairly startled Englnnd nnd the world beside, creating the decpost interest in tho United States, when ho boldly, iu a sjieech of masterly force nnd eloquence, pronounced ulmsolf in favor of groater independence for Ireland. Ho confessed thnt Ireland had sulleied great wrongs and that England's policy towards that Icoplo had heed narrow, selfish and ns unkind as it was unwise. This an nouncement divided his own pnrty, for somo of the greatest minds among his own liberal party took ground against Irish homo rule. Chamberlain and John Uright were among tho opposition. Tho homo rule hill was defeatod iu Parlia ment by thirty majority; on which Gladstone procured tho dissolution of Parliament by the queen and another Parliament is now being elected. So far as returns come in they show that (ilndstono and home rule are de feated. Tho tories havo gained and many liberals elected nro not with Gladstone. Tho measure is failing be caut'.o liberals do not vote. Many of them are undicided so elections go by default. This great measure of reliof for Ireland seems lost for the present, but it is not lost, tho English people- hositato to taken step that they cannot rovoko when once taken, but as certainly as time shall pass not ninny years can go by before Ire land will have homo rule. aood Farming. It will not do to say that ono is neces sarily a good man Uvauso he is a good fanner, and yet a stranger who visits an onloriv, wou-uopt, iiiriiiy-iooKing farm, will expect to find a higher order of man on it than on a wrvek-and-ruin style of farm, a ampln of which enn be found in every neighborhood. Ho will look on the first faun for the most in dustrious, intelligent, enterprising and honest Iwys : whilo he will expect those of tho other louugitig about the groeeiy or saloon, picking up everything which a farmer's boy doesn't need. He will expect to tco marketed from the first, a stylo of product which can Ik? guaran teed in quality, which deserves the good prices received for it, and which a producer may bo proud to acknowledge anywhere as his own . and he will look to find what little ttulV shiftlessness al lows to go into market from the other farm, bringing up the .ail cud ot quota tiotis, and told with that faint-hearted kind of etl'ort which is jvculiar to thce who know they hae somothing inferior for sale. The average farm does not of course tell the wmld all of the good or bad points of its owner, ami yet it un questionably, to .Mime extent, retlecta many of its characteristics. Look about you aud see whether this is not true. Strychuluo in bottles at lowest market price, at Port's 100 State street. A Sundar In Around the Dalles. July 4, 18SC. Editor Willamette Farmer: Farmers gonerally roport that their crops will be very short, nnd tho dry weather Btistains tho report Much whent is being cut for hay. The hills havo havo a dried nnd parched up np penrnnce. I think tho country would look much bettor if it hnd a good cover ing of fern. This is Sunday, and Tho Dalles pre sents a Qttakcr-liko appearance, nnd I ventured out, despito tho prevailing winds, to tho old garrison, or at least to whero tho old garrison onco stood, ex pecting to soo the old hut that sheltered in the long ago our hero and patriot, (Sen. P. S. Grant, ond to put a "log" in my basket as relic of tlioso days, but I found somo othor enterprising "Yank" had boon there boforo mo and "nipped cabin and nil." I met n communicntivo person who told mo tho following intcrsting story : A great battle was once fought on thoso grounds botwueu soldiers nnd Indians ; tho soldiers were urroundcd nnd had boon for several days; no water was to bo had, and they were almost famishing for tho want of it, when all of a sudden there camo n rambling sound nnd at tho same timo n rush of water camo out of tho ground near where they had been besieged, nnd tho cave is still to bo seen, aud ho pointed it out to mo. Tho pcoplo living thereabouts to this day believe tho story. I tried to convinco him of the falsity of his story, and oven told htm that I remembered tho holoorcavo when it was being dug by our men to get water, which by tho by thoy never did. Hut I found tho story too strongly impressed on his mind to ovcrrub it. On my return to tho city I passod along and by a number of thoso tower ing sugar-loaf liko rocks from fifteen to twenty feet high, and from six to ten foot iu diameter: thoy are very impres sive and picturesque, mnking them ob jects of boauty mid wondor. I hnvo scon this grovo of trcc-liko rocks many times nnd they never fall to charm me. Here among thcso rooks and in n pino grove tho patriotic citizens of The Dalles proposo to eclcbrato tho National Anni versary iu n becoming mnnuor, with oration, barbecue, music, etc. Yours truly, J.

Conservatory ot Mustc. The Conservatory of Music establish ed iu Minneapolis by Prof. Chne. II. Morse, affords an opportunity for ac quiring musical ciilturo which has novcr been o He rod in the Northwest. In miiBiu incompetent or half-instructed teachers are worse than none nt all. Prof. Morse is a thoroughly trained musician nnd employs only such tenchers ns nro masters of their departments. Tho Con servatory detcrves tho support of oil tho lovers of music, and will do much to ad vance the standard of musical culture in the Northwest.
