Tun superintendent of the census
has been in consultation with Repre
sentative Hermann as to the advisa
bility of dividing Oregon into one or
two supervisorial diitricUi, nnd it was
concluded to make two districts, divid
ing tho state on the summit of tho
Cascade range of mountains which
form eastern Oregon, as one distriot,
with a supervisor of census for it, and
western Oregon as another. Theie
will be, it is estimated, about '200
enumerators for Oregon, who will each
have a separate division composed of
precincts, whose employment will be
limited to one month and will be al
lowed $0 per day, owing to the sparse
population in many places.
A coituiwroxDitXT writing from
SumniorvilU) to the (inset Uv bpenking
of Mr. Turner Olivers' visit to that
place, says:
Turner is a young man of ability,
and tho day is coming when the beau
tiful tiibuto or prediction of Pout
Hrainard of Union, on his defeat in
the election, will be verified Mid Turn
er will climb tho ladder of fume to the
topmost round,
Tho correspondent is correct enough
in his allusions to Turner, but the po
etical tiibutw spoken of w .is not writ
ton by Mr. Rrainaid, but by Mr. Ber
tram Huffman, now editor of the
Journal.

The wool business is a funny busi
ness when measured bp the pledges
nnd promises of the republicans. The
lender of that party in tho last cam
paign appealed to wool growers to vole
for Harrison so that a republican ad
ministration might secure our wool
growers the home market. The re
publican politicians were opposed to
foreign wool being imported into this
country and sold in competition with
our own Well, what has taken place
since Mr. Harrison took the reins of
government. The imports for April
of this year compare with the im
ports of last year as follows :
nothing wool, ll.s 7.8:11,811
Combing do ... '.'.(l.lL'O
Ciirpt do 8.101,70.'!
2,SIC.(l7.i
:;!).".,8ti
Thus showing an increase in one
month under Harrison of 7,222,1526
IKJUiuls over the corresponding month
last year under Cleveland. Tho price
of wool has been equally as great a
puzzle to the poor deluded wool grower,
who was frightened into supporting
Harrison because the Mills bill put
wool on the free list, as the puzzle
of the large increase of the
importation of wool under Har
rison. Last year we were told that
wool was low because of the proposi
tion to put wool on the free list. If
men bought it last year with the idea
in view that tho tariff would be re
moved and paid 18 to 2J cents per
pound, and are buying this year under
the most solemn assurances from tho
republican leaders that the tarilf will
remain intact, why is it that the price
this year is but a shade higher than
last year, when removal of tho tariff
would enable importers to sell foreign
wool ten to twelve cents cheaper by
the removal of the tariff? This is a
question that farmers would do well
to ponder over now while then! is no
political excitement to mislead or
warp their judgments. Albany Dem
ocrat. An kxchaxuu truly remarks that
"the man who grows up in his native
village is frequently regarded as a boy
by his elders until ho is well started
down tho declivity that ends in.a hole.
The stranger who comes into si place
may or may not be an honest, upright
man, but he is oftener pushed to the
fiont than the well-known, unostenta
tious young man, who has grown from
boyhood to man's estate without the
transition being noticed by his every
day companions. This is one reason
wlfy so many young men become dis
satisfied with their homo surroundings
and long to cast their lot in other
quarters."

The farmers are now busy hauling

extended visit among relatives and
friends at Enterprise, returned home

terprise, will move his family to Suin
inerville, and then go to Seattle to find
work at his trade. Mr. Chaltin is an !
old timer here and is a good workman, j
and wc hope that he may find work j
and rood wages. '
A. Meachcn, our attorney, is kept
busy by people who want and expect
trouble. Wo wish Mr. Meachcn suc
cess and know that no one could trust
their business with a better man, but
we think that another attorney could
do well at this place. Try it.
It would be hard to make an esti
mate of tho value of the late rains to
this section of coifntry, as it has in
sured us abundant crops in this, Elk
and Indian valleys, and perhaps saved
a greater part of the Wallowa. We
predict tho largest crop in this and the
localities above mentioned that has
over been raised since the settlement
of the county.

said :
"Patrons, you have laboied faithfully
for many years to place tho Secretary
of Agriculture in the President's Cabi
net. We were all much rejoiced when
this became a law of our land, little
suspecting that we had woven a coil
whereby the shackles of political bond
ago could be lashed the tighter upon
our lacerated industry. Our agricul
turists all over the United States mem
orialized and prayed our Chief exec
utive that he would fill this office with
one of our representative farmers, but
he has treated our appeals with con
tempt, and has placed thatdepartment,
so important to the success of our in
dustry, in charge of a politician and
lawyer. Whatever may have been
President Harrison's motive in making
this appointment, it isanoutrago upon j
our people which ho will not outlive, j
