A 8TR0HCJ LETTER.
DC 03 no'. Thira: thi. Alllanco has Mado a
Silicic Demand That 1b not Koau
onablo anil KlGht.
Wo extract the following from a let
lor in tho .Southern Allianco Farmer,
writton by Col. W. H. 11. Seary, of
Cirillin:
1 am glad to tee the alliance awake
to the gmit importance of the political
illness which confronts the nation.
Let us study thoso questions without
prejudice mid act us heeoineth thumon
who love their country and their
con ntiy'H good above all other con
sidcrutions. I do not think wo liavo
made a Mnglc demand that is not reas
onable and right in principle, and it is
proper that we hhould stand in favor
of the principles at all times and on
all occasions. But, hrethcrn, let us not
forgot that it takes time to accomplish
great results, and that it is therefore
right and proper that we do what wo
can, ouelves, thiough personal ofl'ort,
for tho upbuilding of tho farming
classes, while these long political strug
gles uro working out tho great llntin
cml problem of the nation. However
great and equitable our demands may
be, they conflict with the present con
tlition of ufl'uirs, which enn only bo
changed by constant agitation, cduca
tion and continued united effort. I
wish to state some oi too tilings wo
may accomplish by our own personal
cflbrt through an earnest and faithful
confederation.
WHAT IS TItUK CONFEDERATION?
It is tho labor or tho money of indi
viduals combined for mutuul profit
mul advancement of all who unito in
tho undertaking. There must bo tho
same proportionate prollts to every
man co-operating. Tho old Btory of
tho monkey using tho cat's paw to
draw out chesnuts from tho hot ashcH
is n good illustration of co-operation us
it is generally practiced. Tho iiiom
key and tho cut certainly co-operated,
but tho monkey got all the cliesuuta.
Tho allianco wants tho truo confedera
tion, wliero every man fares equitably
in nil tho results. Tho alliance is a
mighty power when it co-operates on
anything. Let this power bo turned
toward corporation btisineeu and build
iU foundation on brick and mortar,
and it will build wisely, mid bo able to
stand tho btorms that will bo hurled

jrningo wny a powerful organization,
but frittered away its time in parsing
resolutions about the "middle man."
Wo givo the "middle man" fit; but
tho grange, with its beautiful ritual
and true and noble principles, has
passed away from this suction, and the
middle man 6till lives and flourishes
B" bay tree. Had the grange
built itt-elf up on the tolid foundations ,
of brick and mortar, it would have Mtr
Mvod for years and been to-day the
idol organization of the farmer. There
! was onco a mighty people in America
i before the untutored Indian sought its
I wild.-. There is no history of them,
and no man knows whence they came:
! but the mounds they erected entomb
, their relies and encloses their degree
of civilization. When the alliance
passes away, if it ever does, may it
leave behind it such indeliblo works of
progress as shall lead the future gener
, ations to breath a bcnison over its
sleeping ilust and praise its work and
1 labors.

Crop-Woathor Bulletin, No. 23.
The observer of the Oregon Weather
Bureau, of Portland, Oregon, has is
sued the bulletin for the week ending
Saturday, Aug. 15, 1891, tho same be
ing based upon roports received from
117 correspondents, which is as follows :
WKSTKItN OUKOO.W
Weather. A few showers occuried
along the coast; in tho interior valleys
tho mornings wcro cloudy, cool and
damp from dow, the afternoons were
warm ; tho maximum temperature
ranging from 78 to 90 degrees. The
nights have been warm, causing the
daily mean temperature to be above
tho average from 2 to -1 degrees a day.
Crops. Threshing of fall wheat bus
been in full operation. Tho berry is,
as a rule, largo and plump and it is
considered to bo extra good milling
wheat. Portland prico this morning
is 87 cents per bushel, which is about
10 cents per bushel more than was
paid this time last year. Yields of
from 2i to 43 biwhels per acre aro
generally reported. Mr. W. II. Ooudy,
of Hubbard, Marion county, threshed
out 970 bushels of wheat fiom a field
of 2.1 acres; this field has been in con
tinual wheat cultivation for .If) years.
The cool weather in tho mornings re
tards ripening of spring grain and
caues grain to Do rather tough for
threshing until the sunshine becomes
warmer. In Curry county i crops of
alfalfa, blades about 22 inches long,
havo been cut this year tip to July
zain, without irrigation, uats aro
heavy and a good crop. Serious dam
ago is loured irom tho Hop louso.
Peaches, corn and molons are fully nn
average crop. Watermelons are now
rijie in Josephine county.
F.ASTKUN OltKflOK.
outlier. No ruin is reported to
havo fallen. Tho temperature has
been about tho average ; the maximum
temperature ranged from Sfi to 92 de
grees, .there has boon more than tho
nvorago amount of clouds, though the
afternoons havo generally been cloud
less. Frosts occurred in parts of
Klamath couutv on the 9th.
Crops, There is a serious hick of
harvest hands in most sections.
Heading and threshing aro in full pro
gress, 'iiio wheat is turning out
abovo even tho expectation of most
farmers. Tho quality is cenorullv
nbovu tho average.
Prices to-day in
Ponilloton for wheat aro G5 conts for
bluo Htom and 0-1 cents for club, clear
of tho sack ; many fnrmerH in this sec
tion sold thejr wheat last year at from
02 to 60 conts per bushel. In Sher
man and Morrow counties tho vicld is
most satisfactory, nlso in parts of Was
co cuuaiy. in union coumv Fomo
heading was doo this jiast week, but
it will bo in full operation next wcok.
In Klamath county, which appears to
bo a natural county for rye, there Is
ryo 8 feet high and volunteer oats thut
will yield nearly or quite GO bushels
per acre, 'l hrough tho stock country
a largo Jtuy crop was scoured and
stock aro generally in prime condition.
Thifl year promises tho best all around
harvest on record in Oregon,
