Owing to the unusual Intelligence of
florist u a alas, and tho fact that tho
statistics of their buslues which tho
census ofllco requires, relate nlmost en
tirely to tho year 1801), it plan ha boon
formed for taking an early census of
llorioulturo by mall, on npeclal ttched
ulo, and to tabulate and publish thu
returns thereof early, while other
brancliOH of tho great work of enumera
tion aro lu progress.
There uro approximately 10,500 llor

and addresses of u majority of them
havo lieen secured aud olasHfled by tho
division of agriculture in thu ccusus
olllco, and caoh known proprietor will
soon receive a copy of tho special
nchcdulo devoted to this interest. It
will bo accompanied by a list (ho far
as ascertained) of all tho florists iu Ills
section, to bo by him corrected, added
to and returned to the department for
usu in making tho record complete and
reliable
This special schedule is not elab
orate or complicated. It may bo filled
out easily and quickly by any florist
wlio keeps a reasonably accurate run'
of his business. It asks for tho ( 1800)

No private individuals will bo per

As Uio law requires tho rogular en

but predicts that after tho lakes aro all

and tho roughucss worn oft the trip be

11 vo to six days.
"Tho first 100 miles out from Daw

Will Foml tlm Itlnh Mining Conutrjr
Tributary.
Tlio oflect of tho mining dovolopmcnt
of Kastern Oregon is beginning to bo
felt in tho agricultural districts, says a
writer in tho Oregonian. An agrarian
population is slow to tako up now
lines of Industry. Itemaining for yours
in ono place and settling into fixed
habit of action, varied only with tho
seasons, farmer aud interior merchant
do not roadlly adapt themselves to
changing conditions. Involution in
agricultural systems often aro delayed
until imposed by immigrants who in
fuso fresh blood and foreign ideas into
tho community. Thoughtful experi
ment and modcrato speculation bring
ubout development.
The Grand Hondo valley, tho richest
and most oxtensivo valley of Kastern
Oregon, is waking up to wonderfal op
portunities. It finds itself tho agricul
tural center of a mineral zono which is
attracting and giving support to thou
sands of people. Tlio Cornucopia and
Suako river mines, CO miles east, and
tho liakor City, Humpter' and Granito
mines, within the samo distance south
and southeast, aro tributary to the
fields, meadows, gardens and orchards
of tho Grand Hondo. And now that
Uio mining camps aro making frequent
and heavy domands upon this land ol
plenty, residents begin to havo an ap
preciation of their holdings. So many
of them havo had their cupidity
uronsod by touching tho gold and silver
which is flowing in from the mining
camps that organization is under way
to get moro of the precious stuff. It is
agreed that Grando Rondo should place
herself in position to truffle directly
with all tho producing mining centers.
Tho Hilgard, Graulto & Southwestern
Railroad Company is an effort in that
direction.
Tho project of a railroad np the
Grand Hondo canyon and over the
summit of tho liluo mountains and
down a fork of tho John Day river to
Granite is not a result of mining en
terprise only. It is a necessity for
timber and sawmill operators. But
the farmers of tho Grand Hondo valley
look upon it with great favor because
it will put them in quick and close
communication with the best market
which a farmer may hope for a min
ing cutnp.
Oregon' Gol.l Output.
Tho quostion of having Oregon's gold
output correcUy reported by tho mint
officials was brought up by a letter
from Representative Tonguo by tho
Portland Chamber of Commerce. Tho
lotterread: "Tho director of tho mint
still undervalues the output of Ore
gon's gold mines. Can you give me
any definite information?" It was
brought out in the discussion which
followed that complete figures of Ore
gon's gold yield are difficult to obtain.
Mr. I!atcbelder explained that tho
mines nro privato enterprises, the same
as mercantile houses, and that mino
owners aro naturally averse to tolling
the public how much business thoy do.
An effort will be mado by the Cham
ber of Commerce to supply Representa
tive Tonguo with trustworthy data.

W. It. Gilkison, ono of tho original

work that is being done on tho new
property. Ho says tho pay-roll at Cop
per llutto now aggregates $1,000 per
month. A shaft 55 feet deep has been
sunk and drifts are now being run from
this. Sixteen or 17 men aro omployod

R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly reviow of

Whether tho now year will surpass

bad shown heavier business than in
any preceding year, it cannot bo ex
peolcd that such a gain will bo repeat
ed. Hut the decrease of 0.G per cent in
