; 2113 LETTERS.
Mr. Wilson has many virtues, no
doubt, l.ut cunsi8Uncy id cot one of
thfltu, says the Inter Ocean. Hh ex
pressed much displeasure to his asso
ciates in congress at the fact that the
.: private letter of the president to him
, had been referred to publicly. This is
the same Chairman Wilson who, to
help himself oat of a conference hole,
made public another private letter to
him from the same writer.
It is a oialtur of no importance
what that second letter did contain.
.It was probably one of condolence.
Two big little boys have got hurt, and
the one who is at once the larger and
the fcinaller has said something consol
. ing to the other. Such amenities and
amiability are always to be com
mended. The urchins who got the
- worst of the fight may have been the
aggressors, but the ache that dishonor
feels is none the less acute for being
deserved. Ia this instance it was
quite in order for Mr. Cleveland to be
the one to say, in soothing terms,
"Don't cry," for he was responsible
for the drubbing. Had Chairman
- Wilson been left to himself and hit
conference associates he and all would
have quietly laid down, gone like
sheep to the slaughter, ' instead of
bristling op their . backs like the back
yard cats in the di'turbed watches of
the night. The big Thomas over thi
White House fence wai respqnsible
for that sudden transition from a
slaughter-bouse to a field of feline
battle. We sincerely hope that Mr.
Wilson finds genuine consolation in
that private letter, aud that some day
it will find rest in the sheltering arms
of some Gunthnr of curiositiis.
Fortunately for the country, that
first private letter from the president
of the United States to the "cbairmt n
of the, committee on ways and meats
is a matter of public record, and that
without any purloining or copyright-
; ing. - Any one can publish it, and we
- venture to say that it will attract a'
.'great deal more attention as a cam
; paign document during the coming fa'l
-- than it did as a tariff document dur
ing' the late conference. It is the
comment of the official head of the
Democratic party upon the leading
feature of Demociatic legislation. In
. . fact, it is almost the . only feature,
apart from routine and non partisan
matters, of Democratic national legis
lation during a period of forty years.
Nothing else of any considerable im
portance .enacted by congress since
the Nebraska bill of 1854 bears the
mark of Democracy. .
. To appreciate' the significance of
Cleveland s anti tana bill letter just
imagine what it would have meant
forty years ago had President Pierce
written a letter which became public
at the time denouncing that bill with
'. all the strength of adjectives he could
command, and then a little later signed
it or allowed it become a law. At.
th it time Senators Seward- and Sum
ner made the country fairly ring with
their denunciations of the Nebraska
bill, but had such a letter been con
tributed to the discussion their elo
quence would have suffered eclipse.
Nothing which Mr. Cleveland may
- now say ean counteract or neutralize
what he has already said. "The word
' once spoken cannot be recalled." It
is not so much the vehemence of the
language that gives it weight as the
jastice of the arraignment. Senator
Vest told the truth when he said that
the first of these Cleveland-Wilson
Jettera would he tne best campaign
document the Republican partv could
have for this fall's use. .

Antelop Herald: It is said that the

have to be brought back to their winter
range earlier than usual this talL Thi, we

range too early in the spring, before tbe
feed got i gwd start. There is plenty of

Salem Independent: Rev. N. Doane, of
Portland, came to Salem today on busi
ness. Tne reverend gentleman came to
Oregon oyer fifty years ago, as a mission
ary. It is said that he preached tbe first
sermon eyer preached at the Isthmus of
Panama while on his way out to this
coast For many years he ministered to
the Indians aod a few white people.while
he traveled from place to place in canoes.
The old man is now nearlng four score

An inquiry has been raised as to who
had the first hop yard In Oregon. Ac
cording to the best authority, it seems
Polk county had the first. It was plaoted
by Mr. H. Wells in 1867. George Leas-
ore, in the following year, planted a five-
acre yard in the bottom on the east side
of Eugene. That place is now within
the corporate limits of that citv Mr
treasure's yard has been bearing con
stantly since that year, and in the season
of 1893 produced 2000 pounds to tbe acre.
Charls Nickell.ot the Jacksonville Times.
a delinquent taxpayer himself, is sending
duns to delinquent subscribers, and thus
they go: "Dear Sir: As will be seno bv

help me now."
Speaking of the Oretron hop yields this
vear. a neater said at Portland the other
day: "I think you can safely say that
the yield of hops for 1881 will be ths
largest ever known In tbe history of this
state. For this there are two reasons;
one is that the season has been verv favor
able, and the other is the increased acre
age, uougniy, i snouid estimate that tne
total yield for Oregon will lie not less
than 60,000 ales." The price though
will probably be so low as to make the
inoie rather, small.

Union County copper mines.
From the Li Grande Chronicle we learn
tbe following regarding the eopper mines
in that portion of Eastern Orezon:
It is reported that the copper mine six
miles from Medical Spring, has been sold
to Salt Liko capitalists,
This mine waa located some thirty years
ago, but has never been extensively devel
oped until recently. Work upon the mine
in tbe past few months has uncoyered a floe
ledge which produces ore very ti -h in pate
copper. As this showing is fully np to the
expectations of tbe Salt Lake men, a d as
tbey bave had the mine binded it is about
certain the owneas, the Gi kicson Brothers,
will effect a rale to them. These same cap
italists recently bought tbe copper ledga
eight miles west of North Powder on Pit
cher creek. These men, from the city of
the Saints, bave plenty of money which
they propose to nse in working out the
wealth lying in these Union county mines.
Drowned In tne Surf.
The Oregonian of today has the following
dispatch, dated at Aberdeen, Wash., Aug.
19th:
"Lieutenant Crosby, in command of the
steamer JlcArthur, of the . United States
coasts and geodetic survey, a quartermaster
and three sailors were drowned this morning
while endeavoring to land tbroagh the surf
at the mouth of Jo creek, 15 miles north of
Grays Harbor, to erect a signal station.
There were 15 in tbe boat when it upset,
and 10 of tbem managed to reach the shore
in safety. They had been in the habit of
coming through the surf almost daily with
out accident. Tne quartermaster was not
married. Lieutenant Crosby leaves a widow
aod two children. Following is a list of
missing.
"Lieutenant Freeman H. Crosby, Uoited
States navy; John Fryer, Jens Gudmnnseo,
William Nehm and Alexander Smith."
That Tidal H ave.
There has been considerable idle talk
about Prof. Falb's prediction that a huge
tidal wave will visit this coast between
August 17th and August 30th, to be 60 feet
high, and that a great submarine earthquake
will submerge New York city, disconnect
the peninsula of Florida from tbe mainland
and cause it to sink, make an island of
California and produce a tidal wave along
the Nortb Pacific coat. There is no dan
ger of these predictions being fulfilled. If
the conjunction of certaio planets could
ever produce such a result by attraction or
otherwise there is sufficient room in tbe
vasty deep for such a wave to exhaust itself
without piling up such a tidtl wava as pre
dicted, which would submerge Yaquina and
other seaside resorts of tbe northwest.
Sensible people will take things as they
come, and rely npon natire's laws to keep
things going in spite of Prof. Falb's awful
prediction.
Suffocated by Gas.

A Peaceful people.
A Roseburg newspaper man went
across the Coast mountains to scottsbugg
last week, and down the Dmpqua to
Gardiner.- At this beautiful little place
be touDU something which to bim was
new, and which probably would bj new
nine-tenths of the people of Oregon
nto tbe mouth of the Umpqua flows
Smith river, an inconsequential stream
enough excepting for tbe tides, which
carry censi -erable traffis np and down
the shallow anl narrow channel. This
riyer, like the vJoos and Coquille, is lined
with very fertile farms, whose thrifty
proprietors do their own transporting to
and from town by scows, on which they
load, going, their produce.and, returning,
their supplies, the incoming and outgo
ing tides furnishing their sole motive
power. , Here the trayeler finds a happy
and conteoted people, whose very name
is hospitality, and among whom hard
times are unknown.
The Game Law.
Concerning the game law, there seems
to be a difference of opinion. Tne editor
of one of the Eugene papers is of the
opinion that tbe game law, as amended
by the last legislature, is very indefinite
but as interpreted by some of our best
attorneys it means to entirely prohibit
the sale of deer meat at any seaso 1 of tne
year, some people now seem to haye the
impression that it is lawful to sell deer
meat during the miath3 of August and
September. This -is a mistake. It is
lawful to kill deer for one's own nse dur
ing tbe months, but not to sell the meat.
There are some people Iu .the Cascade
mountains who kill large numbers ot
deer each fall and bring them to the city
to 8$U. Recording to the best construc
tion f)f the statutes, this is now a clear
violation of the law, and hunters will do
