Spiing opens with unnsal promise.
fair condition and agricultural proa
pects were never better at this time of
year. In a few places, especially in
Morrow and Wasco counties, the loss
of sheep was considerable during the
February fetorms but not greater than
usual. There have been no fail ures of
stock men and there will be no dimi
nution, either in wool product or the
beef supply. The range is now fresh
everywhere.
For grain fields the winter in the
Columbia river basin has been perfect.
Snows fell early and kept the ground
in fins condition during the frosts
which followed; and later, melting
gradually, sank deep into the soil which
is moist to a greater depth than at any
time since the spring of 1874. But
while the farmers are thus assured of
a good hai vest, have no hope of a prof
itable year unless there shall be a re
duction in freight rates. Six dollars
per ton from Walla Walla to Portland
is too much. It is mere than the car
riage is worth; it is more than the pro
ducers can pay. It leaves nothing at
all to the farmer. If it had been be
lieved last fall that the six-dollar rate
would be maintained, three fields out
of five would bo fallow. The Oregon
Railway k Navigation company should
reduce its charge on wheat. Reduction
is demanded alike by its own interest,
the interest of the countiy and the in
terest of Portland.
In the Willamette valby crop pros
pects were never bettor. Here, too,
the snows protected the fields jduring
tho frost of February, and they "are
now in fine condition. TheexTension
of the Oregon Pacfic to Albany carries
competition into the heart of the Wil
lamette valley and to all points north
and south accessible to the river. This
it is hoped will, add several cents per
bushel to the price of wheat. Ex.
O.-'rf Things in Chant.
Boats are drawn by horses, carriages
are moved by sails.
Old women instead of the young, are
the belhs of society.
The highest recommendation a man
can have is in the fact of his having a
nife.
The highest ambition of a Chinese
gentleman is to have a nice coffin and
a fine funeral.
Men wtar long petticoats and carry
fans, while the women wearshoit jack
ets aud carry canes.
Parents and spectators, instead of
the children, are held responsible for
crimes committed by the latter.
A bachelor is likened to a counter
feit coin; he is looked upon with sus
picion even by his own household.
To encourage honesty and sincerity,
confidential clerks and salesmen in all
branches of industries receive an an
nual net percentage of the firm's busi
ness besides their regular salaries.
A girl is never considered anything
else in her own father's house than an
honored guest. She is neither respon
sible for the family's debts nor! enjoys
a share in its fortunes, as in the case
of-sons.
He was an Englisnman, and he
found a new grievancs against Cali

He was very enthusiastic until they
showed him a pumpkin weighing 155
pounds. ''This is to much don't you
know!" he said, with in injured air.
"A pumpkin 155 pounds! Just fawn
cy, I only weigh 135." j
T. B. Aldrich, it is said, combines a
species of writing school with the At
lantic Monthly, for, having a horror
of untidy copy, he wants every con
tributor to send in manuscripts as
immaculate as his own; and the story
goes that he has. refused some of the
best magazine work ever p.oduced be
cause of this little foible.
One of the crudest retorts by any

summer, with dancing going on all day

To those who believe it possible or
desirable for very young people to live
without social intercourse, or to liv
wholly by religious and intellectual
companionship, I have nothing to say
