A hard winter is predicted in
Oregon this season by the weather
prophets, Morrow county stock
men are well fixed for it.
Tresident Roosevelt has issued
his proclamation designating
Thursday, November 27, as a day
of Thanksgiving. Truly, we have
much to be thankful for.
The leading wheat counties of
Oregon are Umatilla with a yield
of 2,S00,000 bushels; Sherman,
2,000,000 bushels; Morrow, 1,250
000 bushels and Union with a
yield of 1000 bushels. Of the
fifteen principal wheat producing
counties of the state, Morrow
stands third.
In the new Chinese tariff sched
ule, flour, cereals and railroad ma
terial are admitted freo of all duty.
This announcement will be looked
to with great interest by the peo
ple of the Pacific states. It means
a better market for our cereals and
flour. By this extension of de-
mand for our products, it means
the development of a great country
that is handicapped by isolation
from market. Our soil, our cli
mate, and natural advantages are
great, but we need a better mar
ket. The opening of China to the
Northwest trade will help.
A new era is dawning for East
ern Oregon, an era of prosperity,
of improvement and of settlement.
Its vast areas now used for pastur
age are being located by the home
seeker, and the big ranges will
soon be a thing of the past. Port
land Journal. Eastern Oregon's
greatness is just beginning to be
realized by the outside world. The
Inlane Empire certainly has a
bright future.
The great Inland Empire will be
called upon to help supply China
with flour and cereals, for the re
moval of the dutv from these pro
ducts by China will stimulatetlris
trade. This brings to mind more
plainly the great barrier to trans
portation, the obstructions in the
Col umber river. The difficulty in
getting our products to the sea
board is retarding the development
of a very rich country.
During the fiscal year which
ended June 30, 1902, there were
more public lands entered and dis
posed of in Oregon than in any
state west of the Rocky Mountains,
and more lands than have hereto
fore been entered in Oregon in any
fiscal year, save that of 189G. The
aggregate area disposed of under
the homestead, timber and various
other land laws, during the past
year was 1,297,032 acres, as against
1,2G1,5G7 acres in Washington,
and 071,327 in Idaho, California
disposing of but 656,400 acres.
Just now the United States is
suffering from a car famine. The
railroads are unable to furnish cars
to supply the great demand for
transportation. An enormous crop
is being moved and thousands of
cars are needed to transport an
thracite coal to the cities which
are out of fuel caused by the strike
of the coal miners. These condi
tions coupled with a prosperous
nation, have caused such a demand
for cars that the railroad compan
ies are away behind in furnishing
transportation which is now being
urged.
The New York Evening Post
has been sending out a list of
questions to university teachers in
the United States to get opinions
in relation to the appointment of a
tariff commission to prepare
changes of the tariff for the con
sideration of Congress. To this
question there is a great diversity
of pinion among the leading
teachers and scholars. The op
ponents of such a commission
claim that it would be a compli
cated and befuddling proposition
without result, believing in the
judgement of Congress to handle
this queition properly. The advo
cates of the appointment of ft cem.
mission are in the majority. They
favor the proposition not only for
the direct influence that the ac
tion of the commission would have
on legislation but for the general
dissemination of information that
would result from the investigation
by a commission.
The appointment of a perma
nent taiiff commission is talked of
and it is said that President Roose
velt will in his message to Con
gress in December, advocate the
appointment of a permanent com
mission. This commission will be
made up from experts in this line
who will carefully weigh the dif
ferent tariff schedules and report as
to their findings with a view to the
scientific and equitable adjustment
of this grrat iesue now before the
American people, Anthracite coal
will probably be one of the first
articles to be considered from
which the tariff will be removed.
The great difference in domestic
policy between the United States
and England is apparent just now
from the support that Mr. Balfour's
education bill is receiving at the
hands of the British Parliament.
Mr. Balfour's measuro proposes a
radical change in the elementary
school system of the United
Kingdom. Should this bill become
a law a parochial or private school
system would be established at the
expense of the people to the detri
ment of the public school system
which hau been in force for the past
thirty years. One of the strongest
champions of this bill is the
church of England. Chamberlain
will support the bill for political
reasons only. Formerly he was
very much opposed to enforcing
public suppert to private and de
nominational schools. The main
opposition in England comes from
the people who believe in the per
manent separation of church and
state. The advocates of such a
measure in the United States
would be considered fit subjects
for the insane asylum. Such a
system would be dangerous to the
institutions that have made Amer
ica great
Notwithstanding the extent to
which he has been maligned with
in the ranks of his own party, ex
President Cleveland is still re
garded as a political oracle by a
large number of democrats. His
latest utterance takes the form of
an interview on the democratic
outlook. He discerns a great op
portunity for the democratic party,
if there is "a constant and stal
wart insistence upon the things
which are recognized by all to be
true democratic doctrines," and
the most important of these he
distinguishes as tariff reform. lie
says: "It is my clear conviction
that the best assurance of success
for the democracy in the next na
tional campaign will be found in
a sincere and unremitting insist
ence upon its oldtime doctrine of a
fair and beneficient tariff adjust
ment" The danger he points out
is that the Republican party will
appropriate the tariff reform issue,
which he claims is democratic
ground, just &s "they crowded the
latter from the ground they occu-

pied on the sound-money question."
It is noticeable that Mr. Clevelaud
does not use his ancient shibboleth
"a tariff for revenue only." There
may a reason. Tariff for revenue
only was put in practice once un
der Cleveland, and proved to mean
free raw materials, with protection
to manufacturers. It failed to
satisfy the country, and was re
pudiated. Is he now trying to
crowd upon republican ground,
where tariff reform means a re
adjustment of rates on manu
factures which no longer need it?
If the tariff is to be reformed, why
not leave the work to its friends?
