Novcmlier the 8 is among the
things the democrats view with al
arm. The first Coast pears which went
to Chicago a few days ago realized
$4.50 a box.
The republican party seeks to
convince the people. The demo
cratic party seeks to scare them.
Th; music of the telegraph in

Democracy's annual elegy of griet.
lvvery time Democratic platform
makers yield to their desire to I

One of the eculiarities noticea

Iling cherries have been bringing
a much higher price in eastern
market than other cherries shipped
from the same locality.
The democratic plank on the
Philippine question is an expres
sion of regret the American policy
there has not been met by disaster.
The republican party tells of
thinjis it has done. The democrats
tell us what they will do, if they
get into power and don't go insane
again.
It will take better testimony than
that of I )rs. Tillman and Bryan to
convince the voters of the country
that the democratic party has re
gained its sanity.
The eastern peach crop is proba
bly the heaviest this year, that it
has been lor years, and will no
doubt cut quite a figure in the dried
fruit trade next winter.
The republican motto, according
to hpeaker Cannon, is We Move
On." The lest the democrats can
do is to inscribe their banners with
"Safe, Sane and Scared."

bit does not cost less thatf $ 1000.
Having admitted that the were
insane in 1893 a"'l i'1 1900, the
democrats practically join in the
chorus of rejoicing that their candi
date was not successful in thone
yenrs. )
Having denounced the adoption
of the gold standard as the crime of
the century the democratic party
now conies in and asks the prive-
lege of being adjudged guilty as an
accessory alter the fact.
The democrats demand a prose
cution of the unlawful trusts, and
show how to do it by pointing to
the trail already blazed by a repub
lican Attorney -licneral, under a
republican administration.
The cherry worm has at last
found its way to the Pacific Coast,
and reports of its destructiveness in
Rogue River valley are at hand.

The republican platform for 1904
was the logical result of a consist

And it worked, but one must be y8
years old to have the experiment a
complete success.
The democratic party has enter
ed a plea of "guilty" to the charge
of having lceu unsafe and insane
for at least eight years. It is not
altogether satisfactory with its pres
ent symptoms, but is more hopeful
since it has taken the Republican
gold cure.
This is the dullest season of four
years. Hut times are going to very
decidedly improve within a very

action only, after the prolonged
prosperity. Business is simply
spitting on its hands, as it were.

When a man play fully points a

it is loaded or not, knock him

You may call him a rube, or a
hayseed, or a yap, but the farmer
is nevertheless the biggest man in
the country, says an exchange.
He could buy all the National
banks, p;iy the national debts, pur
chase IkUi the steel combine and
the Standard oil trust and put Wall
street out of business, out of the
product ol his honest toil and still
have a million dollars for pocket
change. To sum it up in a sen
tence, the farmer, by whatever
nick-name he is called, is the most
important class in the United States
and has a right to grow cheaty at
.the showing he makes

Never has there been so many
wild blackberries on the market in
Portland as has !een seen during the
past two weeks. Last Sunday

Why the Local Press Should be Cul
tivated.
The local paper is sometimes not
regarded with the importance which
belongs to it. Some people are apt
to regard with undue importance
the utterances of metropolitan pa
ners. Of course in matters nation
al and general politics we naturally
expect more authorative and abler
articles from metropolitan papers
for the reason that they have great
wealth and can command the high
est class of talent. It is also a fact
that the editors of creat papers are
brought more in connection with
men who consider discuss and de
cide matters of great importance
But this fact should not lead us into
the error of belittling the local press
There is no one who finds out the
importance aud influence better
than the man who, up to a certain
date in his life, always decried the
local newspapers, and suddenly,
when a friend or some pet theory is
attacted, commenced a vigorous
kick, and at once recoenied the
importance and influence of the lo
cal press by his loud protests and
utterance against it.
A person living in a small city
near a large city where the local
and metropolitan ournals come in
competition soon learns to recog
nize the importance of the local
press and why it should be cultiva
ed. Let the citizens of the small
town undertake to break into the
metropolitan patier, let him address
the communication to the editor of
a large paper and one which he has
hithfrto thought so important and
valuable and see with what cold
matter of fact way his communica
tion will be regarded. Let him
watch the boiling down process,
the smallness to which his comma
nication has been reduced and the
)osition in which it is placed, or
the insignificance of his utterances
in the great mass of matter publish
ed and among the display ads. as
well as of many pages in which it
is obscured and then we will under
stand if there is some value in a lo
cal newspaper.
If a citizen of your town walks
into a local neswpaper office he
feels at home. He feels that he is
among friends, he feels like a pa
triot upon his own native soil fight
ing for the defense of his country,
for he is conscious of being in thi
right, being where he is entitled to
be. He is not embarrassed as when
he approaches a potentate, mighty,
cold and indifferent to his appeals,
he feels that he has a sympathetic
ear, that he is talking to one of in
identical interests, one with whom
he has had business transactions
and constant intercourse aud a
knowledge that they have mutual
interests at once places him at ease
and approaches him and .makes the
appeal clearly, fully and deliber
ately without embarrassment.
It is the local press which serves
you in every emergency. There
you go in trouble, it is there you go
in prosperity. If you want to boom
any manufacturing enterprise, any
railroad project for the develop
ment of your town, for your lodge
to increase its influence, or if the
lodge desires to add to its mern'oer
ship, or to erect a new hall, or in
any way advance its interests, the
local press is immediately appealed
to for help. So it is with our
churches, if it is a picnic, a festival,
a new eat pet or an organ, the local
press is found useful in furthering
every good object. If a raid is to
be made on sin by the ambassadors
of Christ the columns of the local
paper are used freely and gratui
tously in advertising the revival or
protracted meeting. The candi
dates and politicians find also the
importance of the local press.
As a rule retail and wholesale
merchants ate men of char
acter, good morals and integrity,
always interested in any enterprise
that will advance the interests of
their city. When a dealer buys ad
vertising he wants the test article
he can get, Ik? watiti to advertise in
a paper mat is amy edited, has a
large circulation and covrrs all the
territory possible for him to draw
trade from. Newspaper can do
much to attract people to your city
and store. The more people brought
to a city the more prosperous are
all the merchants.
So, clearly there arc many rea
sons why the local press should le
cultivated. Yet in spite of all these
facts the people most interested in
the local paper are sometimes the
last to give it their support and are
frequently known to take several
metropolitan papers and shut out
their local paper altogether. If
there is anything in the argument
alout the advantages of home trade
surely it makes a strong apteal on
lehalf of the local press, lec.iuse
the money for the labor is always
expended w here the paper is printed,
and if paid out with one hand for
subscription, advertising or job
printing it comes irto the other
hand and thus remains with you.
It by any means you freeze out
your local paper and leave yourself
at the mercy of the foreign, you
would find out more fully than
words or argument could explain
why the local paper should be cul
tivated. Zenith City Magazine.
FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
Interesting Lcttor From Hon. D.
M. C. Gault.
Salem, July 26 The weather
and the season, especially as they
effect crops, are topics for discus
sion. Karly maturing growths
were almost equal to the usual sea
son. In this class was hay aud the
berries; all the fruits, whether early
or late tielong in that class, but late
planted oats, potatoes, corn and the
like would be better for rain. Hops,
a leading crop, are doing well
where thorough and constant culti
vation has been given. Salem, as
the hop center of the United States,
is busily studying what the crop
will be, not only in Oregon but in
the United States aud Europe.
This morning I saw Mr. H. W.
Searle, who represents Peer Bros.,
oue of the big firms dealing in hops.
It is their business to know at this
date what is growing and what the
picking is likely to be. At the
present outlook he estimates the
1904 crop will be in Oregon, 95,
000 bales; in California, 50,000
bales; in Washington, 40,000 bales;
in New York, 55,000 bales; other
states, 5,000; total in the United
States, 245,000 bales. Last year
Oregon put on thr) market 8S.000
bales, of these there are 331 bales
yet in the grower's hands, which
added to what is yet in the dealer's
hands, makes 3,700 bales left over,
lust what is left of the world's
1903 crop is not certainly known
The United States consumption
placed at 300,000 bales. Of th
consumption, 5,000 bales of foreign
hops, equivalent in weight to 10
000 of our bales, are imported for
blending purposes or for making
imitations of foreign beer Bohem
ian for instance. This will leave
about 50,000 bales for foreign ex
port. Domestic use consumes 500(1
bales taken by yeast and drug con
cerns, while the rest goes into the
brewing of 48,000,000 barrels
beer. Mr. aeari looks lor good
prices to prevail for 30 to 60 im
mediately after picking time, after
which prices will drop. Growers
who sell early, hi his opinion, wi
hit the best market.
Some uneasiness is hatched by
the threatened invasion of Kastern
Oregon sheep into the Cascade side
of Marion county, but the facts
hardly bear out the stories told
There are sheep in the Cascade re
serve to be sure, but they do not
do the damage with which they are
charged. It is the vacation-moun
tain-tourist that shouts loudest
Sheep do not eat shrubs and young
timber unless driven to such diet
by extreme hunger. This is es
penally true with the young pines
and firs. The annual plants, grass
and perhaps some weeds, form the
food of sheep. Hon. John Minto
who settled his farm, four miles
from Salem, in 1849. then had ten
acres of timber while now he has
40 acres and that too in a sheep
pasture. Sheep, in fact, are of more
advantage to the preservation of
forest than damage, for they, with
the shepherds; prevent forest fires
that are really hurtful.
The printers at the state house
are at work on the last volume
the state law reports which will be
out in about two months. It will
be, typographically, a fine volume
Kxperts say that the Oregon reports
are the finest printed.
Preparations for the state fair are
steadily making progress. Already
there are 100 horses on the ground
in training for the events that are to
be "pulled ott ' during the annual
meeting. Today I saw an intend
ing exhibitor of hogs in a feed store
buying hog feed. The dealer was
showing him several new mixtures
but he refused them, saying:
am leeding lor the fair and cannot
afford to try experiments

A Great Event.
Portland, Ore., July 2),
One of the longest race meetings ever
attempted in Oregon will open here on
August 8 and continue till August 28,
and possibly through the first two weeks
in September. A large force of work
men are rushing the work of getting Irv
ington race track in shape for the com
ing mt. - Already trainers and owners
are shipping their strings to the track
and the officer of the Multnomah Fair
Association are preparing to stable ,V)0
horses, the pick of those now raciug at
Seattle.
When President A. Jl. Pitrmoml and
the rest of the Multnomah Fair Associs
tion official talk! of giving a week
racing last year, they were told frankly
by the local horsemen that the racing
game had received such a black eve in
1'ortlamd that the public would not turn
out to see them. In spite of this dig
coiiraging talk the officials went on, gave
the race meeting, proved conclusively
that horses could be raced and raced
honestly, and not only the people of
Portland paid their money at the gate,
but horsemen from all over the state at
tended the meeting. And when they
returned home they were loud In their
praise for the clean sjKrt which they

in which the books handled the odds on

they U-gan at once to plan for their l!H)4
August meeting.
Most of the horsemen who race. I here
last fall declured that nothing could keen
them irom returning. Not only have
they kept their word, but they have as
sisted in filling the stake book entries

The entire KraiidnUn.l, the saddling

this year to give $10, OK) away in purges

Spokane, Wash , July 23. Thirteen-yeur-old
Matilda Whituker, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Whitaker of Deer
Park Wash., was married here yesterday
to John Iiruggs, a blacksmith of that
place, aged 28 years. The license was
secured with the consent of Kith parents
of the bride, and a ceremony was per
formed by a Justice of the Peace. Mrs
liioggs is the youngest bride of Spokane
county by three years.
Forest Fire Raging.
The Portland Oregonian of Wednesday
morning says : Serious fires are raging
in the hills at the headwaters of the Ne
halem anil in th - Coast Hunge bark of
Forest drove. It whs reported yester
day to the Ast ria & Columbia Hiver
Railroad, which own large tracts of
valuable timber in that country, that an
incendiary had been firing the country
side and their timlser was endangered.
The ugent was immediately sent to For
est Orove where he learned the report
to lie true, and hiring II. V. Scott, a
timber cruisers, and a gung of men to
light the lire, he headed into the moun
tains 12 miles from Forort (irove, eight
miles DorihweHt of Ukhioii. The tire in
creasing as the day advanced reinforce
ments were sent out and more will leave
this morning.
The fire at first was a tract of dead
titular, but by last night it had spread
to within a mde of the big, green hold
ings of fir belonging to the company, and
the wind was blowing in that way. No
altent'on was paid to the fires till the
agent of the company arrived aud then
large ImmUcs of men were sent off into
the mountains to check them if possible.
The fire is of incendiary origin, jt
started along a path now deserted and
seldom used that runs over the top of
the divide which lies iietween l'atton
an Scoggins creeks. No less than fifty
places have liecn found where fires have
been kindled by the side of the path.
There are only two explanations for the
incendiary: Either he was Irrpn'Kinsilile
and set the fires to drive out t ho deer,
which are plentiful in that region or he
had a fancied grudge against the owners
and wished to revenge himself. If the
fire once liegins raging in the
green timlier, which will undoubtedly
be the case, unless the gang of men now
at work are eijiericnced fire lighters,
deep forests running buck ten or 15
miles and many more miles tieyoud the
range will lie endangered. All this dis
trict is covered with very thick grow th
of fir.
The power-house which supplies For
est (irove, Canton and Dilley with elec
tricky is only two miles south ol the con
flagration, but is not yet in danger. It
is ex)ected, however, that A portion of
the line leading to Forest (irove will l
destroyed.

Oyster Bay, July 27. President Kooe-
