Is gen erally Increasing, esiicclally that In J alia oranges, olive wood work (now hi) imNirtant local industry), and olive oil. The export of eulocynth declined in consequence of a tithe levied on it by the authorities. It Is gathereil by Aral in the neighbor hood of in.a, where It grows wild. An interesting enterprise which has recently lieen commenced Is the col left Inn of the bitumen which rises to the surface mid limits about on the Dead Sen. Two sailing lioats were taken by train from Jaffa to Jerusa lem, anil then conveyed on carts to the Jordan, where they wero floated down the river to the Dead Hea, and they are now engaged In picking up the Inttimen, which is in much re tiuest in Kuroiie. The consul thinks it would Is- advantageous to trade with the inland districts If a steam launch iiml several lighters were placed on the lhad Sea to ferry across tin produce of Moah, which U a country rich iu cereals, fruit ami cattle. At pre-ent it Is conveyed by caravans round the north or south eud of the Ikud Hea, entailing I ourney of front four to Ave days, Kerak, the chief town of Mistb, b now garrlMoueii with ottoman troops, and authority is established there, so that if rapid communication were i'stahlilied, the whole produce of Moah would 11 nd its way to Jeru salem and the coast. The way to get rid of -tramps. which has long been known and has many times Urn proved, Is to make their fix si and shelter deend abso utely iisiii work. Ijist winter, the ity of Ualtimore rid Itself of all tht'ie pests by refusing to give them place to sleep except on condition if their earning it. The result wa hat when other cities were overrun with tramps, Italtimors was free ol them, nu I thus relieved, the city umed its attention to finding work for the deserving unemployed. This work came so near to paying for It s lf that only an insignificant sum cf money was ret pi I ret I to prevent act' ual suffering. This interesting sociol gical result has, therefore again de moiistnitetl, that it is the tramp the tiler who does not want work thai caus the demoraleieation in a time of distress, and prevent the Involun tary idle from finding proper aid.

The explorers bad penetrated In tbe great Jusephine county cave to a depth of threw and ahalf miles with the aid of lanterns and picks, tbe latter being used to knock tbe limestone projections out of tbe way to admit of access to new apartments. The caverns aredrlpp. log with tbe steepage from melting snow at this time of the year. Flash light pictures reveal weird and ghost ly chambers, statuary almost human In Its carving and contour.

Mr. 8erviss, writing In the New York "Sun" says: A ret ur us, which exceeds our sun several thousand timer, perhajw, in light-giving pow. er, Is apparently a runaway In the universe. As far as is known at pres ent, Arcturus is both the largest and the most swiftly moving body In the stellar heavens. Its calculated veloc ity Is no less than 1173 miles in a second, or :12,40A,0)0 miles in a day! The direction of its motion is such that it approaches the earth at the rateofU,4o0,(MHi miles a day. Hut even If it were rushing at us in a straight line, 8.1,000 years would el apse before the encounter could take place. Nolxsly has been able ' to guess how Arcturus got started at Its present rate of traveling, or where its Journey will end. If It is only a gi gantic visitor to our system of suns, then It will pass through the visible universe, ami Iu the course of mil lions of years disappear from it. And if any member of our system should, through too close approach, become a satellite of Arcturus, It would Inevit ably lie borne away a prisoner into the unfathnmcd anil, by human eyes, unseen depths of Illimitable space. fra sve a a a lite ew or -r.vening ,-,M, in re ..nr.. n- n.., .n,-r ... country to Ulleve in the tlem.sratlc party, but It finds the Job an exceed- Ingly difllcult one. ror Instan.s., It renounces ine sugar scneouie 01 ine a aa . . k !.. . .

I'lO-SIUKSr, PlOKKKK . ORttxjy, Lamm a.vu Okxtlkmks : We have met together to wituess and commemorate the annual reunion of the constantly diminishing survivors of the early settlers of Oregon. A few days ago our fair young state was the scene of conflict. Drums were Ittnttlng, banners Hying. There wa the tramp of contending armies form lug for the decisive conflict of prlnci pies and opinions. To-day, the con flict is ended, the battle fought and won, and peace pervades the land. Now victors and vanquished, leaving our banners and insignia of strife at the th sirs of our tents, strike bands as brothers, cUImmis of a commou coun try we all love, proud of the young state we call our home. We have met to do honor to those brave ami hardy people who founded our em pire, iu the rlirht government of which we have so earnestly contend edwrested it from barliarism and dedicated It to civilisation. . TIIK KAItl.V I'loXKKHS. It would ls an old story, should I attempt to recount the history of their early suffering aud flnal tri umph. How in the prime and vigor of their young manhood and woman hood, with light earts, unflinching courage, fearless or toll or danger, they cheerfully parted with friends, with the comforts and allurements of home, ami plunged into a trackless wilderness of unknown and immeas urable extent ami rescued the fairest portion of the western hemisphere from the dominion of wild beasts nnd wilder men, has been told by those who bore n leading part In this vast achievement.

Tlie vast territorial domain the Oregonian pioneers have opened up and subjected to settle ment and civilization, 1 would not underestimate either its extent, it" lsauty, its grandeur or the wealth Its resources. Hut of equal !msr- tauce to their (xwterlty and to hu inanity are the lessons to be drawn from their simple lives, their sterling characters, their homely virtues ami manly strength. Permit me to-day for a few moments, to dwell upon this part of our heritage. Iet me end"avor, if I can, to hold up to your view the dualities of character in these people that we should not only admire, but that we should labor to attain; such as would enable us, as they enabled them, to win success, In this manner we may draw from the past lessons for the benefit of the present and the future. There can come no fitter time to call attention to this feature of the heritage they have hequcHted to us than while the story of their toil, their sufferings and ultimata triumph Is fresh In every memory. -o ntter lime man while the vast country they acquired, Is-autifled and enriched is In our sie session and in our enjoyment, while their lives have is-en a part of our own, their characters as familiar to us as the faces of our wives and children, and while a few far ton few still survive to enrkh us with their wisdom and experience. The lesson, therefore, to le drawn from their lives ami character can never be done with fuller knowledge than tixlay. They were never more needed at any time or place than here and now.

The speedy muster, to bring to Justice the murderers of the Whitmans, the rapid inarch In the dead of winter, over snow-covered mountains and through a Jand Infested with savage who knew every pass and hill ami vulley, the quick succession of engagements and final victory; fur cool, determined, , nunly courage and fearlessness hardship, toil and danger Is withoul a parallel iu modern warfare.

Litigation was rare, and then for want o! mutual understanding, not want ol honor; la-cause of misunderstanding, not dishonesty. They asked tbe passage of no laws to relieve them from their contracts and when a pioneer entered Into an engagement fairly and knowingly, It was as In violate as the laws of the Misles and Persians.

The nu- Isiundisl hospitality of the piomsi has been so often told that any des cription I might give would not only Ik suKTfluous but would lie like an attempt to gild retlned gold or to paint afresh the colors of the min now. Hut Ihe distinguishing char- aciensuc oi tne cany -. tilers or t rrej gon, Isith men and women, ami to which today I desire to call special attention, was a thorough ami im pliclt reliance upon themselves.

When a band of emigrants ossein bled on the banks of tho Missouri, that could all the wealth of our conn preparatory to their westward march, try be today equally distributed they ditl not murmur at the decrees among all the children of men, a of Providence, Isx-ause the mountains were so steep ami rugged, the plains so hot and dry, the water so scarce, or the treacherous savage so hhxal-1 thirsty. They ditl not wait till the government should tqs'n a pathway across the wilderness or drive the l redskin to a safer distance, or furnish them with scrip to pay their way, or supply them with a medium of e tchange in their new home. Hut, indes-ndent f charactiT, ctiuragtsius. resolute, self-reliant, ret kless of toil, danger or pain, trusting to no nm but their own, they plunged into the wilderness, stilled the mountains, repulsed the red devils who thwarted their pathway, and planttsl a home for themselves, their children ami their children's children, within the fairest, land the sun ever shone iixin. It Is sometimes said the government gave these men a home. That Is not correct. They gave this land to the government, anil received back only a part of their own. Hut for them, the stars ami stripes would not now float over us. The homes they acquired were but the legitimate rewards of their own efforts. They wrestled with the wilderness and overcame it. With a rifle in one hand and the peaceful implements of agriculture in the other, by incessant, self-reliant toil, they carved from the continent new world, converted it Into rich gardens, magnificent orchards -.lot ted Its hills with flocks and herds, ps plains with fields of waving grain, thrifty villa m, grea t cities, institu tions of learning and culture, a. id filled Its navigable rivers with busy wheels and floating palaces.

No grasping rail road mon opoly Infested the land, or robbed them of Iheir earnings. No "bnntlit banker" borrowed money from the government at I per cent ami loaned it to them at 10. No base conspira tor, paid by the "gold power of Euroiie," demonetised their wheat, or debased or contracted their circu lating medium. Xo "robber bnivn' of tho tariff fattened upon their sub stance or filched their earnings. Not ;x, 00, or t0, but KM per cent of their property was Invested Jn agriculture.

What a choice race the children of those piomsrs should have ln. l.'nlike so many f the sons of ancient heroes, des- cciided from strong men and weak women, the children of the Oregon pioneers were of royal lineage on Isith Hides. Their mothers were as strong in Isaly, as stout of heart, as heroic of soul as their fathers were. And yet u generation hail not passed tway until the descendants of those jsuple, starting life equal in every opMirtuuity, are divided as distinct- ively as any eopte on earth into every financial das, from the pauKr ,0 tht. ,H0nalrt.

In our whole country today, as In tho early history of Oregon, alt things are open to all men. Opportunities come to all few use them. Hun dreds of educated soldiers entered the civil war ; there was but one urant, one isnernihn, one Sheridan. Not the scion of wealth, not the "curled darling" of s.N'iety, but the once sheriff of Huf- falo, occupies the chief place of honor in this republic. The widow's son, horn to poverty, toiling along tho canals of Ohio, outlrlped every child of every millionaire of his time, In tho race for public honor. It was the railsplitter of the ."rot. tier, who, towering like a giant above all enn temporaries, became the grandest flguro of the nineteenth century.
