Sa3's 3 writer iu the Oregonian;
Oregon has nothing that ap
proaches the climatic evils, the
meteorological vicissitudes, the in
tensity of heat, the horde of in
sect life that anno man ana
beast, and the scores of insect
pests that destroy fruit and threat
en universal devastation. Men of
science in California spend their
lives to find ways and means ot
alleviating1 these annoyances and
pests. Oregon' receives regular in
stallments by rail and steamer, by
sea and land, that vainly try to
perpetuate themselves on this
northern soil. The numerous
evils of the insect kind existing in
semi-tropical California, are be
yond our limits, and it is only nec
essary to notice by way ot com
parison and to show that these
things have no hold on this cli
mate. Only a very few insects
annoy us personally or cause loss
to fruit or products. No state
in the union is so free from such
annoyances or pests as the state of
Oregon. This is absolutely true.
I'ltUITS IX COMPARISON.
The whole year, taken in com
parison between Oregon and Cal
ifornia, cannot place this state at a
disadvantage, so leaving the com
parison of climates let us turn to
products. The soil of western
Oregon is made of volcanic basalt,
the same as is the best fruit land
of Europe and the world. In
growing grain and grasses any
comparison must favor Oregon.
Concerning deciduous fruits we
have a great advantage, and the
quality and flavor of all our pro
ducts puts Oregon far in the lead.
"While we do not as certainly grow
peaches, those grown here in fa
vorable years excel any that Cali
fornia can put in comparison. All
the fruits of our latitude are pro
duced here in abundance and of
superior quality, to such an extent
that we can claim as mueh income
lrom jrrowino; lruits suited to our
latitude" as Californians can show
to have been realized from any
line of fruits grown in that state.
A prune orchard in the red hillf,
near alem last year realized from
a single acre of French' prunes,
o,000 pounds, that sold for C00,
so that the net profit realized was
over $300. Another prune orclniil
that was planted in a sandy loam,
favorably located on the Colum
bia, near Vancouver, realised fully
750 per acre, on three acres of
Italian prunes, the same year. The
orchards in this valley are the
present year loaded with fruit and
men who own large plantations
of prunes, pears, cherry and
peach, are all expecting full crops.
The- cannot be easily disappoint
ed. Tt is safe to claim that orch
ards eight years old will net for
prunes $2j0 an acre of profit, at
moderate prices.
tiii: pkici: or pufit lands.
Orcharding in Oregon must
eventually become a leading in
dustry and the most certain of all
to secure good and reliable pro
ducts. There can be found liter
ally millions of acres of excellent
soil that is adapted to fruit-growing,
that will eventually be used
forthat purpose. While land
suited to fruit-growing in Califor
nia commands &100 to 500 an
acre, land equally valuable in Ore
gon can be had for one-tenth the
prices quoted above. "While the
land bears no proportionate value
here as yet, where fairly tested at
fruit-growing it is as productive
and as profitable as are orange
groves or vineyards or any fruit
grown in that great state.
The criterion of worldly success
is health is happiness and prosper
ity. These we command abun
dantly here in Oregon, and with
success so assur6d why not give
the cheap iands and salubrious
climate of Oregon tho prclerence?
There is scarcely less variety in
Oregon than in California. Rogue
river valley combines in itself the
best features of the two states.
Its production partakes of each
and its climate mingles both. In
whatever Oregon excels 'she leaves
California far behind. Our fruits
are greatly superior and command
a price that proves the fact. Oifly
in the fruits we cannot grow does
California excel Oregon. Our
fruits, too, have as assured and re
liable a market, and our producers
only ileed to rle'serve success to
attain it and possess a permanent
source of profit.
kaixs ei: dp.outiis?
To sum up the comparisen: In
healthfulness Oregon is not sur
passed. "We possess here all the
requirements for nappy lives, and
have all the refinement as well as
all the convinences of modern
civilization. Our lands are as yet
low priced and not appreciated at
their full value. Uur products
are of such superior quality that
they command a premium and find
a waiting market at all times.
Qur winter rains give us certainty
of harvests that California never
has. At this very time when their
wheat is not worth cutting, when
drouth has ruined the hopes of
thousands, Oregon enjoys a pleas
ant winter, a delightful spring and
in the early summer there has
fallen grateful rain, that docs not,
however cross our southern line.
The soil of California is quick
and responsive and prodigiously
prolific. No question can be
raised as to its great productive
ness, but it is of lightj granite
character, often very thin, and
always sure to wear soon and need
fertilizers to sustain it. Already
many are studying the matter to
decide how to keep up the fertil
ity of their orchards. The soil is
so porous that fertilizers leach
through it and are lost, so rrcriut
nig it is not easily done.
On the contrary, ijift basaltic
formation of Oregon soils is the
best and most enduring known to
man, and similar in all respects to
the best knowii fruit lands of
Europe.

A tale comes from the far north,
above the'Arctic circle, that mam
moth carcasses are found frozen
in the ice and that the Indians
chop them mt and feed the meat
to their dons. These carcasses are
as well pi (served as if killed but
vesterday, although they have
lain for who knows how many
thousand years in a solidly frozen
state. Undoubtedly these ani
mals existed coeval with the
glacial pencil and were indigenous
of a tropical climate, therefore we
must reason that this period came
almost instantaneous; all living
animals were killed by extreme
cold and before their llcsh could
putrify, it became frozen and thus
it is preserved to us to-day.
We have focind no lemedy, for
malaria, so reliable and safe as

The Danish "Way of Making Butter.
Prof. Robertson calls attention
to what he describes as a common
practice in Danish butter. making.
In order to ripen the cream quick
ly for churning, he says, Danish
dairy farmers prepare what is
called a "fermentation starter."
As much milk as will yield 2 per
cent of the whole to De churned
each day is set in the evening, and
skimmed the next morning. The
cream so obtained is warmed to
72 Fahrenheit, and placed under
cover, so as to retain its heat.
By the following morning it has
become sour, and is fit for use as a
"fermentation starter." After the
bulk ot the cream has been separa
ted by the centrifugal machine, it
is heated to 72, and placed in tin
lined tubs, 2 per cent of the "fer
mentation starter" being added.
The whole is allowed to cool clown
to 5S, and, after eighteen hours,
it is considered in the right condi
tion for churning. The tempera
ture at which the ct earn is churned
varies from .77 to Gl.
xvcr's Sarsaparilla requires
smaller doses, and is more effec
tive, than other blood medicines.
The immediate completion of
tin- line from Portland to Ca'ur
d'Alene is now felt to oe assured.
'The road now completed from
i ortlantl to mpana will be built
through to the mines this summer.
A large construction party is now
working on the other side of
Snake river, repairing the grade
which was built several years
since. Corey Brothers, the con
tractors, have a party of over oOO
men at work between Endicott
and Fannington, "Whitman count',
on a ninety mile stretch and the
right of wav has been secured
across the Indian reservation from
Fannington to the mines. Tho
surveyors are now at work and the
grade will be completed this sum

from Fannington to Spokane
