Brownsville against the world
Recently it was noted in these
columns that a Southern Oregon
man had offered to donate to the
Lewis and Clark commissioners
what he considered a great curiosity
a tree which is green at the base
and petrified at the top. The com
missioners will probably reject this
man's offer after learning what our
Brownsville friend is willing to
donate. James Calloway says he
has a tree on his place which is al
petrified and in the top of this
stonn tree is a bird, petrified, and
about three feet farther skyward is
the poor little birdie's whistle, and
it too is petrified. Brownsville

"Our railroad is not as long as
some, but it is as broad as any,"
said Louis Gerlinger, Jr., the genial
manager of the road. The first
section of this line from Dallas to
Falls City, a distance of ten miles,
was opened to traffic early in June,
giving an outlet for the mills
around Falls City. The road will
be extended westward into the
timber.
This is an ideal lumbering propo-
sition. There are 40 miles of con
tinuous heavy timber between
Falls City and the mouth of the
Siletz. Much of this timber is soft
yellow fir of excellent quality and
of heavy growth. There is also a
considerable amount of cedar and
some larch.

space is filled and the mill has
not been running steadily for the

built from the mill to the railroad
and at the end of the flume a most

Although there was more or less
apprehension among Oregon farm
ers over the prevalence of cold
rains in the latter part of Spring,
the crops of the entire state are
good, and there is no complaint
from any Bection. In the Willam
ette Valley the outlook for grain,
fruit and hops was never better,
and even in the old fields where
wheat has been raised for forty
years, tne grain crop proves very
gooa, ana as larmers expect good
prices, the outlook is excellent. The
hop harvest, which begins thi
week, will employ thousands
families, who will enjoy the health
ful and profitable outing.
In Southern Oregon, where the
peach crop has been somewhat
shortened by the unusually late
frosts, crops of all the other fruits
pre good, while grain and hay are
considered fair. The apple crop of
that section has become an im
portant article of export, and this
year whole trainloads will begin
caving for the East for shipment
to Europe in the Fall. The Winter
apple of that section has become a
source of large profit, as it has in
the Hood Kiver district, in the
northern part of the state.
In Eastern Oregon thegraincrop
turning out well, and even in
the wider part of the Columbia
Ri ver Valley, where less rain falls
than near the foothills, from fifteen
to twenty bushels is recorded where
two months ago the farmers feared
n almost total failure. In Uma
tilla and Wasco, as well as Sherman
and Gilliam, the output of wheat
his year will be little short of the
verage.
The prune crop of the entire state
is expet-ted to go far beyond all
previous years, as the trees are well
oaded in all sections. New dry-
louses are building, and the
capacity of the nlder ones is being
extended in many places, and the
prunegrower this year is assured of
good prices, owing to the shortage
abroad.
The placer mines of Southern
Oregon have done well the past
season, and the total output of gold
dust from such counties as Jack
son, Josephine and Douglas would
prove very large if there were any
way of getting at the figures. The
gold dust, however, usually finds
its way into the banks and express
offices without any flourish, as the
miners desire secrecy in transport
ing the precious metal from the
mine to town. The output of the
quartz mines has kept up equally
well, and there is no falling off re
ported anywhere.
The livestock-raisers of the state
are all in very prosperous circum
stances, and have money o loan.
Money, however, is seldom needed
by the farmers, who are usually
the best borrowers, and so the local
banks in every county of the state
are gorged with deposits. Although
money is said to be tightening in
the financial centers of the East,
all the farmers and stockmen of
Oregon have money to loan at rates
that discourage foreign money
lenders from sending more capital
here.
On the whole, Oregon was never
so prosperous as she is now. And
never before was the tide of immi
gration turned toward her borders
as it is at present, there is no
boom, and no boom is wanted, but
the prospects for a continuance of
the present prosperity are exceed
ingly good, and there can be no
slump while the world wants our
products and the markets of the
Old and New World continue to
expand before our exportations.
Yet prosperity is no new thing

SPOILS TO THE VICTORS
Republican Employes at State Prison
Are Being Replaced by Democrats.
One after another of the employes
at the State Penitentiary, who held
their positions by virtue of appoint
ment under the previous adminis
tration, have found it convenient
to resign, so that Democrats might
be given their places. Some of
them seem to have been given a
gentle hint that their resignation
would be acceptable, while others
could see the inevitable coming
and stepped out of the way with
better grace. This was to be ex
pected. The principal "to the
victors belong the spoils" is a part
of our political system, whether
wisely so or mt. Governor
Chamberlain, and through him the
Democratic party in Oregon, are
responsible for the good manage
ment of the prison for the four
years of his administration. It ia
entirely proper that the Governor
should, by his own actor the choice
of the man he has pi iced in charge
as superintendent, select all the
employes, for whose efficiency he if,
to answer to the people. If the
Republicans do not like to see so
many Democrats getting good posi
tions they know how to prevent it
in the future. Oregonian.
