Poetry.
The following appropriate poem was read
at 4 birthday dinner given in honor of Mrs,
Geo. Wheeler, on Xpril W. .
'Tls years since my child eyes saw
The bright sun's radiant glare,
And the grand and dreamy beautj
That met lie ovcry where.
'Tis years since last my yonng ears heard
My mother's loving voire,
And listens sridl-bmuid to its tone,
That made my soul rejoice.
But then, a voice more rapturous still,
That bade rite go in truth,
A nd be a help-nicet tor a lad
Whose name was George, the youth. ,
went; and of) the toilsome way,
Met many a Kore defeat.
Tint aye, along stern duty's road,
Love's floivem grew bright and sweet.
The days were often dark and drear,
My heart full oft was faint, '
But duty done, aye brought its bliss,
Bo I made no complaint.
But glad through toil to make my wajv
In dreams what glories shined;
For one voice always gladdened me .
The voice of George, the kind.
My children grew to life'B rii years
And filled my life with joy, i
Bo rich, so rite, so lull, so pure, i ,
No earthly care could cloy.
They left, me for their wedded bliss;
Yet still a sweet voice called, '
And bade me be content with him,
This time 'twas George, the bold.
"I'm growing old," I said to him,
"For I am getting gray."
"O yes," said he; "we are (retting old,
We've nearly lived life's day."
The time of toil will soon bejiast
The labors life ha known
Will be forgotten, with its cares,
Its joys remain alone. f f
When it shtl be my happy loi.
To enter into rest; v
-Among the voicesluddening me,
May one be George the blest.

An Interest!."1
An interesting land ase in Oregon
has been brought before Surveyof-
General Byars Tor decision. T'ne
trouble arose over the fact that. i.e
Malheur lake, in the south' torn
portion of the state, writer formerly
covered an area of 15,00 vmt
dry two or three year exwpt a
long narrow strip Ir, the
lngaboutasec'Jmn, The cause of this
was a ehrynnel 'orced through sand
ridge between the lake and Harney
lake, which Is lower, allowing the
water to drain olT into the latter. On
the lands left hare by the recedence of
the water some sixty persons have
settled and are cultivating farms. It
appears that a man named Nodin had
acquired posession of all or nearly all
'the laud around the margin of the
lake, and he nows claims that the
"made lands," or the land left bare by
the draining off the water, accrues to
hltn, and Surveyor-General Byars has
been instructed to have the land sur
veyed. He will have to make a ruling
In the matter. This Is only one of the
many complications which have arisen
from the habit lakes in that part of
the state have of drying np or becoru-
ing land at one season and water at
another.,
Orogoa Cranberries.
The Corvallis Times says that J. 0.
Stearns, of Lower Alsea, one of the
county commissioners of Lincoln
county, Is the pioneer cranberry pro
ducer of the Yaquina country, and an
experience of several years has con
vinced him that cranberry culture is
to be the chief industry and principal
source of revenue In that section. That
the soil and climate Is adapted to
their production is shown by the fact
that a sample of the berries grown by
Mr. Stearns and sent to Portland for
examination last winter were pro
nounced by experts superior even to
the favorite Cape Cod Fruit. Mr.
Stearnsias under cultivation half an
acre, and bas contracted with parties
for setting out another acre at d they
are now eusraaed In the work. Fortv
thousand vines are required to plant
an acre. W. H. Hulz of Beaver Creelf
has secured twenty thousand plants
for r. Stearns to be put out this
spriug, and Judge Blue and Henry
Beliuger, of .Yaquina, have each ob
tained a small supply of plants for ex
perimental purposes. It lakes about
four years for plants to begin to bear.
As the growth of cranberries is limited
to certain latitude it will be impossible
to overstock the market.

Brigbam Young prophetfed the end
of the world would take place on the
6th day ot April, 1893, last Thursday.
Like a good many preachers of past
ages Brigbam talked too much with
bis molitb and did not work enough
with hiB hande in making two blades
of graBS grow where only one grew be
fore. He told more than he knew
more than the -Lord whispered in his
ear. What a vast procession there
would be if all who have been guilty
of similar errors, ignoraiitty or inten
tionally, criuld be raised up from the
cemeteries of all lands and all ages!
They would perhaps outnumber the
Grand Army of the Republio as a
million is to one, Eugene Journal.
But Brigham made many .blades of
grass grow where none at all grew be
fore. He made out of a desert a smil'
lng patadise, from 'an alkali wastaone
of the molt highly cultivated, countries'
on earth. Brigham, got rich himself,
but he made a lot of other people rloh
also. He was a gieater succesB on
making two blades of grass grow than
he was a prophet. Statesman .
In conversation wltlj a gentleman
recently, he stated that to plant prune
trees here, even a few acres would be
unprofitable, giving (as a reason that
.the market would soon be oversup
piied. The following from the the
gpuian might be read by that gentle
man at least with interest: "A "new
.syndicate, owning a big ditch In
Iiidaho, are going into the business of
prune-raising on an extensive eeule.
Tliay have purchased 44,000 Italian
prune trees from a Portland nfcn and
have engaged his son to go to Idaho to
superintend the transplanting of th
I trees. These 44,000 trees will make
&bou. , ,oad8i wi p,ult
about 440 acres. The syndicate intend
to plant 10,000 acres to prunes, and say
j they, have no fear of the market being
overstocked, as the New York ma ket
,' alone will take all the prunes the 4-oast,
'is liable to produce." '
