The Gazette. Tuesday, Sept. 27, 1898. SENATOR MITCHELL'S DENIAL. In oar Friday's issue we will take pleasure in publishing a com plete denial by lion. John EL Mitchell, that he has authorized aDyon to announce that he would be a candidate for re-election to the United States senate either at this special or the next legislature. The injustice heaped upon Senator Mitchell by the Oregonian and the presistent reiteration by untruth ful and ignorant classes through out the state that it was ''Mitchell and his supporters who held up the legislature," will be clearly de monstrated and the resonsibility traced to Simon, Corbett and other true leaders of the legislative hold up, who are now on parade as the only true republicans of the state. THE GERMAN SCHEME. That Germany would ultimately take a hand in the disposition of the Philippines has not been doubted since Dewey's victory gave the Americans a foothold there. We may be able to bluff the GermanB by centering at the islands a superior force, and thus avoid a conflict But what will happen if the bluff don't work? Is our country in the habit of sub mitting to foreign aggressions, however strong and powerful? American principles and interests must be sustained. Germany's action in surveying the island of Gebu is as auch an infraction of international law as the survey of Government island, or San Fran cisco bay. The title to the Phil ippines is not settled yet, and will not be until the treaty of peace is signed and ratified. Neither Spain nor the United States has tharight to grant privileges to another na tion. Until title is quieted the United States is bound to protect the islands from encroachment. As Germany is the only nation from which the government appro bends trouble in the settlement of the Thilippine question, it is to avert the commitment of an overt act that the president determined to so strengthen Itear-Admiral Dewey'B command as to make it BUpenor to the Gorman fleet in Asiatio waters. The battle-ships Oregon and Iowa will start for Ma nila via Cape Horn and Honolulu next Saturday or Sunday, by which time it ib expected all repairs will nave bon made and tho fluet o colliers will be in readiness. In addition to these ships the war de partmnnt has ordeml the Fifty lirst Iowa, Twelfth Kansas, Firm lonnosHoe, lirst Washington ru rncruita for the Second Oregon to Manila at once. .Lvidentlv Amer ican interests are to be protected and Germany will have to back down or fight.

The highest temperature during the week wai78deg.,on Sunday, and the lowest 44 dcg., on Friday. Rain (ell on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in amount from 1 to 1.75 inches. Crops. The rain was of benefit and yet ot some injury. The benefits were, it softened the ground and allowed the commencement ol (all plowing and seeding; it started the grass and improved pastures. The injury was only to the prune crop; it caused the prunes to drop too rapidly and cracked some, though the damage will hardly be appreciable. Prune drying con tinues to be active; the crop is so large that there are not sufficient dryers to bundle it. Late peaches and pears are ripening. The vegetable crop is excellent. Digging o( potatoes is now in progress. Hoppicking is completed. The season was very favorable to the growth and maturing o( the hop crop. Hop drying and baling is now in progress. Harvest of all products is practically com pleted. Late fruit is being picked and shipped. Grapes are ripening. The grass is turning green. Work has commenced (or next year's crop. The season has been (avorable to the till ers of the soil. Autumn weather conditions have set in More rain, lower temperature and frosty morning) may now be expected. lASTBRN ORKOOM. Weather. The mean temperature (or the week averaged 61 deg., which was 7 deg. lower than (or the preceding week and 8 deg. lower than (or the corresponding week o( last year.

Rain to the amount o( 0.08 to 0.14 of an inch (ell on Tuesday and Wednesday. Crops. Harvest is over; only a small amount of grain yet reuialiiB to be threshed. The sea son has been one of the most (avorable on rec ord (er the grain crop and (or crops of all kinds. The bulk of the grain crop is now in warehouses and elevators. The rain started the grass and sprouted the early sown grain. Considerable grain is sown every year in the dust, and the first rains give it a good start. Pasture is improving and the movement of stock from the summer to tbe winter ranges has commenced. Fruit is maturing and la being shipped. The fruit crop is unusually large; the same Is true of the vegetable crop. Work (or the crops of next year has commenced. These bulletins will, with this Issue, be dls coutined (or this season, they will be resumed about April 1, 18SI9. The crop season of 18U3 has been a most successful one. The grain crop, as a whole, is excellent. Aphis injured spring grain in a (ew of the Willamette counties. Hops wore cleaner and o( better quality than lor years. The hay crop has never been larger or better. The fruit crop has been heavy. The vegetable crop is always good and It was equal to the best this year. Stock went through the early winter In good condition; owing to sales the range la not now so crowded. No Item of Industry has been affected by kny adverso conditions, hence the record ot a suc cessful year. ROANO II UK'S DKKAM. China Will Adopt the Ural of Our Advanced Clvllii itlon.

Rink Rapids, Alaska, Aug. 13, 1898. friend Patterson: We arrived here ago, being only 28 days from the coast. We had to double back over a hundred miles, partly on account of feed. The last sixty miles to Dalton rosi was a mgn rolling country, with Ann fd From there up the Glut Shoe, across the Cluke ena, down the Kashawash and over to Hochi lake was rough and brushy and not much feed. From there to this place, a distance of 120 miles it was brush and dust all the way. The soil is wuue ana chalky, with some scrubby timber growing. In places like this the cattle string out (or over a mile trailing single file. They soon learn to follow the bell. There are about 100 people camped here, made up o( packers, cattle men, sawmill men and prospectors. Many a disgusted Klondiker is wending his way up the river and over the trail. Four or five o( them go in together aud buy a horse, and get out of the country in that man ner. There are three saddle trains here taking passengers to the coast. The boats are also running to Lake Bennett, aud are doing a large passenger traffic. There la a great deal of gold being taken out ot the Klondike country. Nine men went up the river yesterday, and the least that any of them had was l.w pounds. Another miner that went over the trail took out 400 pounds ol nug gets. The cleanup at Dawson City is very satis factory. It is estimated that it will be between $6,000,000 to 15,000,000. So much is being smuggled that no idea can be formed o( the cleanup. There is a sawmill being built at this point. Lumber is some cheaDer than at Dairann rit commanding here $150 per thousand feet. me cattle are not in yet, but expect them soon. I am building a scow and a raft (or use In running the cattle down to Dawson. Horses are worth practically nothing here, but a person can sell a (ew head every time a boat comes up the river. They bring (rom $75 to 1125 per head. There is not enough big timber here to build what rafts are needed by parties going down the river. There are boats going down the river all the time. From 25 to 100 pass this place daily. I hope to get out of this country in 30 or 40 days. I could make short work nf It. If I .nnM go with my cattle to Dawson City at ouce. Keinember me to all the boys. Tell them that beans and bacou are getting so they don't taste good. yy. M. Kodio.
