On the IS th of May 181)4, when oc curred the unprecedented Hood, the guago marked 17.(1 feet. In 1876, the previous highest water It read IH.il feet. At thu same date thii year, last Tuesday, the top of the water whs 21. H feet above low water, or 4 feet higher than in 1H!H. Hut thi exceeding high atagn does not neecss.irily mtan that the water will go alwive the 'ill mark or even up to it, since it is noted that this season Is fully ten days earlier than '94 and a few days earlier than '76. However, there is snow yet in the mountains and o.lo occupying low grounds are liable to get their feet wet. Col. ltolsTt Miller, another of Mr. Cleveland's appointees who it i under stood supported Mr. Hryan for the presidency has invited the ex-oandl-date l liM'ture at the Wlllaiuele Valley Chsutamiim asatH-'atlon at its inwting in July. W.J. ltrysn has Biwpteil and names Monday July 12th as the dale for his lecture on "llimetaliMii" "which is the only Huhjuct I care to lecture UMin." Now then. This association has Mwed as an organization having for its object the lu-t met ion and education of Ihe people, but it seems that In truth II is mvkiug the patronage of the public only on certain lines of thought and they hiv demo populist at that Miller is president of the association. How would it do to invite l'ingly and Carlisle as counter Irritants to ltryan, or would Mr. Miller prefer not to meet Mr. Carlisle? Just now the contest between state claimant an, I Ihe secretary of state in regard to the mandama suita is In regard to advancing them on the docket of the supreme court. It is admitted that the circuit court will deny the writ, but the supreme court is so fur behind w ith business that the cae cannot he reached in order until afler the next regular session of the legislature, hence to get speedy actlon the casts must be advanced Secretary Kineaid seem to think that It is to his interest and to the interest of the state to have the rase come up in their regular order. Any way he is righting their advancement. The reason assigned for this Is that If the matter is not settled this sum mer there will he an extra session of the legislature called this Ml. If the secretary could he assured that the court would affirm the derision of ltrown v. Fleisrnner then lie would not opiHue the advancement. What he wants Is a session of the legislature. .una.rtOott. O.V L Y OXK MOKK Til ISO TO DO President McKlnley flndi that then arc from 600 to 600 citizen of th United States on the Island of Cuba, The malority of theae are far mers who were scattered about the central and eastern part of the Island. In time of peace they were prosper ous and In tlmaof war they were self-supporting as long as they were left on their plantations. However, when Capt. Geo. Weyler mad hi order requiring the population of the Island to be gathered into th towns regardless of nationality, tha source ot an abundant food supply was rut on and the meager store was anon ex hsusted. This was a he intended. The spirit U soon out of a hungry man. Our cltliens are in no worse condition than the subject of Spain, only we are not further bouad to suc cor those poor wretches tban thela-w of humanity dictate. With our own citizens It Is different. Duty and love demand that our citizens have help, We are a strong people and abun' lUiiiiy able' to fcuu Sisia'uee,"be "OA obstacles what they may. The presl- .font rtlt ux.ll n I1 tho Mf l-.t'."r! ff oongreos to the matter, and congress lid well in so speedily responding Now one thin? more remains. If merchant shine are employed to car ry the food.and medicines to the suf fering, or passenger shi be sent af ter such of our people as want to come home then they should be con veyed byjiihe U. S. Cruiser, New York. Indeed the West Indies have iu times past i warmed with pirates and who knows but there may be meofthe freebooters there now hence it would not be too many if bout two more of our best cruisers o along not that there Is any danger but as a matter of precaution. Hut few of the Spaniards have seen any of our playthings, and being a little vain of them we are justified la want Ing.to, show Iheiu. Weyler may never have seen an American ten Inch built up gun and it would be line opportunity to show him a few of I hem. The mission is one of peace id charity and no political signifi cance could attach. By all means let some of our war ships go down to Cuba either as convoy or as trans ports. And as there is no one on the farm Inland. II might amuse Capt. Oeu. Weyler to - give hi in an exhibition of our gunnery and show him how far Inland our, American guns cau throw a projectile. No pos sible harm could result since the far mer are gathered into the towns, unleas It would be the frightening of wild hog. DREVY A WROJiG COU'LCftlOX. Our neighbor, the Argus, I evl dently chargrined that he was caught gaxlng at prosperity's procession. He loes not exactly deny ihat one town in the state, Heppner, will receive 1200,000 this year more than was taken In last year, but he tries to throw discredit upon Mr. Black- man's report of the prosperity of that section by charging that Mr. Block- man Is a Carlhle democrat. How that Is going to effect the fact of pros perity is not clear unless the editor supposed that'lMie charged Carlisle democracy upon hJUn. tljew: public would not believe hi reort of pros perity. Last week the' Ixdf.pkhu- knt said that Blackman Is. a Bryan lemocrat, but notwithstanding, that fact he had to. acknowledge that limes are better than they were es pecially In his old home. While In Portland this week special Inquiry was made touching the politics of the gentleman. Alii agreed In saying that he supported Bryan, and .some were not choice in their words fir he is an appointee of Mr. Cleveland, and they thought he in all po'itlcal houesty ought to loyally support (he administration that gave him of fice. Others thought he might have teen hedging looking ahead to Ihe election In '98 when hi senatorial district will choose a senator to the 'tat legislature. To illustrate one man related Ihat In 188.S, Blackmail wagered 3200 on Cleveland's election. He came down to Portland and boast ed to some extent how much he would win on Ihe election. ' Sol lltrsch heard of It and they "were personal friends though political op ponents, took him to his private of fice and showed him by figure that he would loose. Blackman realized mat ne nail made het that were based on a "local market" and a mall one at that, so he commenced to hedge lay wager on Harrison's election. He succeeded In llaelna f. sou tn us, nence Ills mths was only 400. No t it is surmiied that he thought Cleveland, not lielug per sonally Interested could not be great' ly harmed hy his desertion, but that fusion was strong and therefore it was best policy for hits ,to remain solid with his par no, th name only. Our neighbor, the Argus is not greatly to be blamed for suppos ing a Carlisle appointee ooght to sup port the policy of the administration But let our neighbor, like thl Bryan democrat, cheerfully acknowledged that times are better, that sheep are worth more than they were one year ago, so are catMe and horses, wheat oats, hy, hogs, potatoes, on Ions, fruit and land. crmj rouTH. President McKialey sent the tol lowing special roesaagn to congress on Monday last, which treat of the con ditinn of American ciUaen In Cub nd a recommendatlno tor their re lief: . - i- "To the house of representative of the United States "Official Information from our consuls In Cub establishes the fact that a large number of American citizen in the island are In a state of destitution, suffering for want of food nd medicine.

The Saginaw man furnishing of food, clothing and' doubtless mean Alaska cedar, not medeclnes to sucn citizens ami jor transport Ins- to the United States ot such of them as desire and who are without means totranspnrt them selves." A LOGICAL sTtitiESTIOM. It i suggested that the 1'ingley bill oe amended by the Incorporation in It off discriminating duties so as to brotect American ships. This i a logical suggestion. The first tariff act of the United States contained a discriminating duty proviso. Every general tariff act since then has; contained a slmil lar proviso. The tariff act of 1883, the McKinley bill and the Wilson- Oorman bill all contained a discrim inating duty proviso. It still is to be found in sectious 16 and 17 of the Dlngley bill. But It benefit have been nullified by treatise and acta of congress, a shown in those ana in Ihe subsequent section. The republican party has prom ised to adopt the early American policy of discriminating duties and the people have Indorsed that prom ise. The Elklna bill would redeem tbat tpromlse, if it were substituted for sections 16, 17 and 13 of the Dlngley bill. Whenever discriminating duties are adopted, they will be a part of the tariff. It is loglcat, wise, coura geous and patriotic to place them in the tariff act while tbat act Is being framed. It would be Illogical, on- wise and unpatriotic to defer doing so until another time, when It may be too late. The new tariff Is the Inevitable place for the Elkins bill and the time to place It there is now, while it will not disturb or unsettle the tariff. But any attempt to amend the tariff act, after It la In successful operation, would be vigorously opposed. The Dlngley bill Is the logical and neces sary place for the J-Jkins bill, and the prosperity tbat Is expected will not be fully restored until both are a part of our laws. They belong to gether and should go together. American Economist, The manufacturers and employee engaged in the output of gold lewf, silver leaf, aluminum leaf, and 1 Hitch metal, which U a composition leaf, have petitioned the United Stales Seuate to afford protection to their industries by specific duties. The slition show that the ad valorem rates of the existing Gorman-Wilsou Tariff have reduced the wage of gold leaf workers from 115 down to IS per week, of the silver leaf work er from 112 to 114 per week down to nothing, because all the factories are closed, and of the aluminum leaf workers from 112 to lit down to and IS per week. The wage of the girls working in these industries have len reduced about one-half; more over, the factories have been running only about two thirds time since 1894 owing to the general depression in business brought about by the ex isting law. The request for a restor ation of th McKinley rates of 1810 , or their equivalent in specific rates, should be granted without hesitation . The paragraph now ronning In the public press to the effect that an Italian baa devised a method of destroying Insect pest with elec tricity must be read with caution. It is much like killing flea with snuff by catching them, adinlnlsteting the dost and then see their head fly off wbeo they soeese. The Greeks seem to need command ers more than anything else.

TIE 8E.UTE AMESDaSTS. The New York Tribune talks of the Senate amendments to the Ding. ley bill in a paragraph that reads: "Many change are certainly of real merit, and others may upon ex. amination of data prove to b first appear needless. But there will be dUapoiotment throughout the coun try that the measure reported to the Senate is open to criticism la som particular about which public opin ion will be sensitive. The extensive substitution of ad valorem duties and the beer tax are already discussed a out of line with republican principle tliat H.inc should be preferred to u valorem uuiies wnere It Is pot- ble, and that revenue should be raised rather by duties on Import, w hich encourage industry, than by internal taxes, which bear upon the people nearly per capita and enhance the cost of living nearly as much for j "" ugar schedule was 'written i by the sairar trust' Th Hutloa An the omission of the reciprociety pro vision, will all challenge some rep ublican criticism. It is probably not expected that the bill will pass In Its present form." The Timlierman of Chicago is In re- eeipt of a communication from ; musician of Saginaw, Mich., who has luane a "Ui.-covery inat Alaska fir tne only proper and correct wood j from which to fashion tha violin that shall be of the tone and timbre nr. Alaska fir is fit only for Are woou, and has ahout as much "lone aud timbre" as a stone. Alaska cedar is a fine-grained wood of ex ceeding scarcity, and Is found in gieater quantity in British Columbia and Washington than in its native home. It contains between 25 . and ,10 grains to the inch, while moun tain spruce, which Is wood used gen erally for sounding boards, contains from 1 to 23 grains. A light, fine grained wood is needed, aud from returns received from a score of sample pieces sent to musical lostru inent makers by the Pacific. Lumber Trade Journal several month ago, Alaska cedar is the best wood In the world for sounding board. But the supply will tie limited. While on the subject of Alaska timber it might be well to state that no tuna, ber cut In that territory can -be shipped to the United States or else where for commercial puaposes. . A contemporary recently stated that Mr. So-andSo at Juneau, Alaska, "I tallying lumber to be shipped, to japan.- l ncie Mam's laws are strictly enforced In Alaska, and not a stick of lumber has ever gone out of the territory, or will until present laws are repealed. As a matter of fact lumber Is worth more In Juneau than it Is in Yokohama at present. Pacific Lumber Trade Journal. Another Oregon paper baa broken out on the subject of tea and the tar iff. The Eugene Ouard says: "User of tea are experlenceinr the blessings of a tariff, and have about come to the conclusion that the con sumer, Instead of the producer, pays the tax. The tea Importers are. not waiting for the new tariff of 10 cents pound to go Into effect, but have advanced prices 3 to t ceuts a poOod. The teadrinker has found out who pays the lax." The Ouard evident ly cousiders this an argument against a protective tariff. Th fact is that the question whether the con sumer pays the tax or not Is wot con cerned in the tariff on tea in any re spect. Tariff on tea and coffee are levied for the purpose of revenue aud nobody ever claimed that Ihey came out of any one hut I he consumer. Misii,rriiiali-:u of IhU sort k to blame lor much pnpwlttr hast new on the tariff question. Oregon iau. - An upieal from Wm Cowper Con sul, editor Medical Selene" t New York sends out an appeal to the editors of ihe United State for help rr the famine stricken districts in India. The " fx DIP, so K.NT suggests that India'' Is Hritisli territory and the people are British suljects, and further that while thy have lacked water, we have a people who have had- too much water ami are in a fair way to be hungry. True our destitute clU eens are mostly white yet there are some black of deep a hue as any oftheKsst Indians. Would It not fulfil nil the demands of humanity for us in feed and clothe the destitute of the Mli-siaslppi over-flowed lands before we send to strangers that ought lo be cared for by F.ngland? A resolution recognising the bellig erency of Cub Is warmly debated in the U. S. Senate. It I stated tbat the Cuban Junta have four war ship which they will man and put In com mis ion a soon as their belliger ency Is recognised by any of tbe powers. This is necessary in order ihat such ships should not be classed as pirates by the laws of nations. A brutal murder occurred In the Chinese quarter, Portland, last Tues day. A Chinese woman was aal nated by having her throat cut and the instrument of her murder was left stkklng in tb wound. Th, er of the deed I at large. "If the new tariff bill passes con. grcss as It has been reported to the senate, the revenue resulting from the duty on tea alone is exiected to reach 110,000,000. Poor people must give up such an expensive luxury as tea in the coming days of high tariff prosperity." This Is from the H use burg Review, a paper that hereto fore ha favored free trade and now when it gets one item it is dissatis fied. Would matter be mended ny imposing a duty on coff.-e, too? Free trade lay duties on those imports tbat enter largest into consumption and are not produced here. No oue has a right to complain of that tea duty except protectionists. By reading the democratic papers of tb enintry, oue Is led to believe tbat the Dingley tariff bill would be a very bad thing for the republicans. But then the actions of the democrats In congress gives a different version, and show the utter inconsistency of such claims. If they actuallythought that,.! he .pYMuee A'-v, tiai.. &? fk-e-ro republicans they would be making strong eff jrts for its passage, or at least not putting every obstruction possible in Ihe wny of it adoption. The course pursued dues not agree with the claims put forward, but that does not matter with the partisan blind. -Albany Herald. The West Side sensibly remarks when it says "every pareut should see that his boy learns a trade, or some means of earning a living. Americans are sadly remiss in this particular. They seem lo have a prejudice against apprenticing their boy. The tendency i for boy to learn a trade by the pick-up method, if they learn it at all. The market for skilled workmen is supplied from our foreign (sipulalion. We need thoroughly trained American work men. Our brains are trained at public expense; train our hands also, Some evil disjotd persons have broke open the Ladd vault in River view cemetery, Portland, and re moved the remain of W. S. Ladd, lately deceased. Only one object for Ihe ghoulish act can be concfeved and that is money extortion from the sons. Tince no harm can come to the departed, the act only ourages the living and black must be the heart of the villain who engage In such outlawry. What detectives can do to bring thu guilty to an account ing will be done but it Is extremely doubtful it they cau be discovered. Religious fanticlsui is a factor In the . peace' negotiations between Turkey and Greece. A shiek high with the Mohamedan church declares that it Is the will of Allah Ihat Thessaly be re-united to Turkey. The powers do not recognis the auth ority of Allah and are not minded to t.he demands of the Turk. The Sul tan probably will, in the end, obey the Powers. A white flag has been hoisted between the hostile armies in Thessaly pending the peace nego. tlatlons, The Pacific Lumber Trade Journal notices that another sash and door factory has beeu started In Seattle. The market for the output Is the cities east of the Rockies. It is said that in Ihe Philippine lands 25,000 Insurgent are intrench ed In the mountains. With this ex ception the Spanish regard the paci fication a complete. THE CAXAIUAN TAKIEK. In general it may be said that on the more bulky products, on which the freight from Europe is large in proportion to their value, so small a difference a 25 per cent, of the duty will general ly be of no avail to ex clude American or give preference to British products. . , . It Is evident Uiaf alarge proportion of the ex ports from this country Canada will not be materially effected hy Ihe dis crimination proposed, and those of Iron and steel manufactures may probably he tncreasej owing to the reduction of duties. The discrimi nation may help Hritlsh interests as to textile goods and some other mis cellaneous manufacturers, and it will not lie over lioked at Washington that the deliberate intention of this tariff Is to restrict trade with this country and bring In Hritish goods. That (act may perhaps hav some infloence when the question arises whether this country should continue the bonded privilege by which Ca nadian railroads are enabled to haul a great quantity of freight from this eountry."

The warmest weather o"nir teis ' season pre vaVleVT ' 7iiYi n g the past wek. On Sunday clouds appeared and rain fell Sunday uight causing the temperature to fail from 10 to 30. The mean temperature for the week was , a raise or 10' over the preceding week; the day temperatures was Hi on Wednesday nd the lowest was 48. The rain that fell Buuday, Sunday night and today amounted to from .20 to .00 of an inch. Thunders orms ocvured in the southern counties. The sun shine was in excess of the normal amount. Crop. Tb weather has been ideal for th growth of vegetation. The ground was becoming too dry and the rain was most opportune. Clover U in bloom and buying will commence In sections In-fore the close of the month. The hay crop promises to be unusually heavy. Fall and winter sown grain was never more promising; grain sown since April 1st Is up and growing finely. Seeding Is ail done except iu the northern portion of the Willamette Valley, where some oats are yet to be sown, and In a few sections where corn Is yet being planted. Corn sown since th 1st of the month is up aud has good color. The weather has been remarkably favorable for th growth of corn. Potato planting is about finished, except lo portions pf the coast counties. Early planted potatoes are being cultivated. Gar dens ate all showing rapid growth, and peas ar plentiful in the market. Strawberries ar ripening rapidly, es pecially in the southern counties. Gooseberries aud currants are in the markets. Tb condition ot the fruit is really hard to determine. Some correson denls report that the cherry crop will be short, but that apples, pears, prunes, etc., will be a heavy crop; others report tbat tbe frosts of the 6th Inst, injured prunes, but nothing else. It Is thought tbat as a rule, and the section as a whole, that Ihe fruit crop will be heavy. In some portions Italian prunes have been somewhat Injured by the frost, In others the cherries, In others winter apples; but there is no general report of Injury to any single variety of fruit, except possibly to Italian prunes; other varieties of prunes ap pear to be uninjured. The injury from the frost ia confined principally to the northern portion of the Will amette Valey. borne correspondents especially those lu Douglas, Joseph ine, and Jackson counties, report that fruit will have to be thinned out by hand, for tbe tree are too much laden. The present condition might be briefly summed up: Grain, grass, stock, garden products, never more promising; truit above the average except Italian and French pruner, and in portions cherries, which will not be an average crop.
