"Vnlla Walla county, W. T. We
place it on our exchange list with
pleasure.
Tho East Portland Faciei thinks
that all that (he democrats of Eastern
Oregon have to do to secure a con
gressional candidate who can win at
thi next election is to "secure the
consent of Judge L, II. Json to permit
his name to be used in the conven
tion." Jf what wc hear is correct,
the judge stands ready to be "in
duced." W. V. Butcher, of Conlcrvillo,
Umatilla county, is the most promi
nent democratic candidate for prose
cuting attorney of this district. Wo
met this gentleman a few diiysago for
the llrst time, and were very favorably
impressed with him. lie appeals to
be a man of considerable ability, and
no doubt would till with credit the
position he aspires to.
Hill's Annotated laws of Oregon,
section says; " When any per
son becomes a public charge who is
not a resident of tiro State, t Tic county
court (wherein ho or gshe becomesIi
public charge shall provide for such
person, and tho o.vponso thus incurr
ed shall bo refunded to such county
by tho State. ' ' This discovery will
save this county considerable expenso
in future, or at least, the contractor
for tho care of the county poor.
Dolph's bill lo create a public park
of Crater hike and adjoining territory
has been considered by tho committee
on public lands. Tins members are
somewhat opposed to making it a na
tional park, as the care and expense
of maintaining the Yellowstone park
is considered too great for the benefit
afforded. Tho committee is in favor
of making a park of Crater laico and
some of tho adjoining laud, provided
tho State of Oregon will take charge
of it and maintain it as a public park.
The Democracy of Baker county
don't seem to work together in har
mony as they ought to do. Tho two
papers of the parly there nro snarling
at each other. Tho Democrat man
fays the Jlcvcillc man 1 'is void of grat
itude or honest principles; Is treach
erous and would saerallco the dearest
thing to him on earth to carry out the
motives inspired by his low degraded
nature." Hereafter, Jho Democrat
man says, he will have no controver

columns of the

At a recent mooting of tho board of
trade of Chieo, Cal. , some of tho prac
tical farmers agreed to each duvote a
certain number of acres to tho cultiva
tion of suar beets the coming season.
That is exactly what the farmers of
Eastern Oregon should do. If sugar
beets can bo succosfully cultivated here
thero is every probability that ono or
moro manufacturies will ho establish
ed by Clans Spreckels or some other
sugar king; and that means increased
population and prosperity. Let our
farmers not miss the golden opportu
nity. Every growing and ambitious town
is composed of three elements. Those
who work patriotically, vigorously
and intelligently for its advuiceinent ;
those who are in a state of apathy and
iudifferouro, and those who take a
curious delight in discouraging tho
efforts of others by ridicule, by a
persistent denial that any progress can
or has been accomplished, ami boost
ing of every other town hut their
own. The last class is a class called
croakers, but they are really some
thing worse, for their opposition does
notarise simply from despondency,
but from the uuouviahlu spirit which
will neither act itself nor suffer others
to act.
The court of appeals of Now York,
tho court of last rcsoi t , hint reversed
a decision of the supremo court of the
State, in tho matter of a gambling
debt. Tho defendant lnul lost money 1
at the gamo of cribbager Ho gave his J
note for the sum he lost to his winning ,
coutpolitor. IIo refused to pay tho
note, on tho ground that it was yiven
in ptiublln, mid thoroforo uuhnvful.

Jho editor'; greatest sou rco of pious-
urc, and lie soon gets to regarding
them almost in the light of personal
friends. Wo fully appreciate the fol
lowing sentiments expressed by the
Blaine, W. T. Journal:
"The Journal likes to fibc a crcat
pilc ot exchanges come in by every
man. ui courso wo cannot put our i
fraternal shears into all of them every j
week, but we can always find time to
take off their wrappers and say good i
evening m a friendly way as their fa
niihnr fere's appear, mid there is not
one that we would not miss if it should
got its back up or grow cold and cut
us off its list, or the mail should fail
to deliver even for one week."
Tlii: AME1UVA2T PARTY
A special edition of The American,
published in San Francisco is at baud.
The issue is devoted to the enuncia
tion of tho principles of tho.new par
ty. Among other things it says:
"The American parly in this city
to-day holds the balance of politiral
power. The vote is solid and pledged
for Americanism and reform. There
arc no weak-kneed members in the
party, and there will bono backing
and lining when the campaign begins.
Organization is complete. A close
canvas insures us a solid vote in San
Francisco ot 7,500. A careful esti
mate of the independentvote, of which
wo must obtain our share, leads to
the belief that tho American, vote at
the next municipal election With a full
ticket in the field, in tho face f Re
publican, Democratic and Citizens'
parties will reach 10.0000. This is
nol sufficient lo elect, but it is enough
to defeat. If wc cannot elect whom
wc would wo can defeat any and all
candidates upon whom we center our
opposition and this will be dono. If
the better citizens of San Francisco
desire lo endorse our nominees and
work with us shoulder to shoulder,
ii respective of their Republicanism or
their Democracy, well and good, the
election of an honest ticket will result;
and the overthrow of the bosses will
be made complete. If Republicans
and Democrats chooso to be led by
their bosses and faithful to party ties
nudjhosnism, refuse to lcavo the ranks
of corruption and dishonest politics,
the American party will poll its solid
strength against tho most objectiona
ble of their candidates. If wc do not
wi'i we can, at least, defeat."

Oregon is one of tho largest and
most lcrlile of the whole sisterhood of
states. .Tho attention of all tho Uni
ted Slates will now be drawn to it in
connection with the completion of the
great railroad reaching out. to Sa:i
Francisco. Its area exceeds; !)."), 000
square miles, or more than double
that.of.Xow York. It is equally nf
fertile and has u cllmato as genial and
as equable as that of Ceorgia or Ala
bama. With the exception, perhaps,
of citrus fruits, sugar cane and cot
ton, there is uothimr that is grown
within 1 1 lo whole area of tho .United
States that cannot be raised in it.
The grape grows in the southern por
tion, and even the orr.nye , wobeliero,
can bo raised successfully in tho
southern portion of tho Willamette
Valley. AVoro it populated as is Now
York State it would to-day have
twelve millions of people within its
confines, while its chief city would be
ono of tho greatest in tho world.
From KStiO to 1880 the population,
roughly speaking, was nearly doubled
every ten years. In seven years It
bus increased about f0 per cent. In
1WI0 it will not fall short of W0, 000.
Tho stulo produced this year of
wheat tiV.,000 tons, and 12,000,000
pounds of wool. Tho three great
staples of wheat, wool and salmon
will thi year roach' n value of seven
teen million dollars. Tho total value
of leading articles Is not less than
twenty millions of dollars. S. F.

The printers are not under oath of
secrecy, but always fool themselves as
truly in honor bound to keep ollice
secret.- as though triple-oathed. Any
employe in a printing otllce, who will
wilfully disregard this fact, in relation
to printing otllce secrets, would not
only bo scoi nod by his brothrcu of tho
criitt, but would loso bis position tit

matters they have eyes and cars,
but no mouth, and if tticy fail to ob
serve this rule, let them he put down
as dishonorable members of the craft.
It is the same in job printing. If any
thing is to bo printed and kept secret,
let proper notice be given of the de
sire for secrecy, and you might as well
i question the Sphynx, as one of the
printers, so that even the secret books
of lodges are printed wiMiout fear.

i The avcrairc wci"ht of a llcccc is
i nh(nxt eight pounds, and, wool selling
now in this niarKct for an averago
prico of twenty cents per pound, the
lleccc sells for one dollar and sixty
cents. Protection enables the nianu-
facturcr to charge about seventy per
cent in excess of manufacture of and
profit on woolen goods, and the con
sumers, the man who has the llccco
to sell, as well a? all others, pays that
seventy per cent excess, and the man
ufacturer pockets it. Docs the man
who has tho fleece to sell get seventy
per cent more for his llcccc than he
would if the protective system was not
in operation? Are there not two
plain facts in this case? One being
that the law of supply and demand
determines the price he gets for the
llcccc, and the other, granting for the
sake of argument Hint protection en
hances tho price of the llcccc. is that
the enhanced cost of the manufactured
article more than rats up tho increase
in the selling price of the lleoce. Fig
ure it out yourselves and sco if it
don't.
