Third The land, including all the natural re sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the peo ple, and should be raonorjojized for specula tive purposes, and alien ownesshlD of land should be prohibited.

The. eastern farmer who comes to Oregon with means to buy honestly a home and brings with him the advanced system of farming pre valent there can, in our judgement, easily enhance his means of com fort by one-half. We have no bliz zards nor sunstrokes here, but sun shine and moisture, the two ele ments of nature which produce the largest possible wealth in vegeta tion, add to these science and the sum total of agricultural perfection will bp reached. We have excel lent facilities for schools, churchef, telegraphs, railroads and all other appliances of modpm civilization, but a dense population, up to a certain limit, means better schools and cliurpbes and especially dqes it mean better roads.

The superintendent gets a fee from the county for holding institutes, examining teachers and receives $2.50 for each school -district, be sides other things we are not fami liar with at present. Have the tax-payers a "kick coming?" The uprising at Homestead has attracted the attention of the coun try to the causes which operated in precipitating the .disturbance, and the. facts in time are likely to. be fully developed. If the distur bance which has alarmed the country has been rendered possible by the defects of an economic sys tem which the American people have sustained under, the impress ion that the policy, receiving their indorsement is favorable to labor, it is none too early to make that fallacy apparent. The incident is certain to encourage a more serious and earnest search for the causes' which tend to breed discord be tween capital and labor,, and ulti mate benefit must inevitably result from such an investigation. The People s party means to abolish all class privileges, and to erase all sectional lines.

Who was it that fought in the revolution? -Laboring men prin cipally farmers. Who fought the was of '12? Laboring men prin cipally farmers. Who fought the Mexican war?

Ex. The Atlanta Constitution, a noted democratiu- paper, says' edi torially: "If the House of Representatives, with one hundred and thirty dem ocratic majority, shelves the silver bill passed by the cenatc, aided by a democratic speaker who could not have been elected but by the friends of free coinage of silver, it will be'thft most serious blow the party has received from the present House, and it must be admitted they have reoeived some severe licks since December. It is a dis grace .o see how Tom Reed bullies the present House, and there seems to be no man to take him down. If lor no reason whv not let President Harrison veto the bill? The truth is, that nothing but the basest kind of corruption will pre vent the passage of the bill, and strange to say, more men believe that it will be pigeon-holed than believe it will pass the Houso. A great manv people and they are not republicans arc losing confi dence in the house. Tho bill was not pigeon-holed, but came to a vote- in the House and was empbatipaljy defeated.

' The meau temperaturo hns ranged from 60 to "0 dcjjxecs, which is from three to five degrees a day below the average. Tbe weuther has been partly cloudy and tho average sun shino bus not prevailed, bhowers oc cured on the 15th and gcnoral rains on the luth, except in parts of Jack' son county where no rain fell. Tbe amounts ot rainfull are, Clalbou couutv .S3, Multnomah county .57, Marion county Douclas county .27, Jom- plane county .11, northern Jackson county from a sprinkle to .03 of an inch. The rain was of ercat boneQt. cspecl ally to lute sown grain; to corn and rarden truck, while in portions of tbe coafct counties it did some damage to hay. A continuation of the present weather wiil prove of great value to tbd late sewn crain. Early sown wheat is being hr.rrostcd and it is gen erally turning out better than was ex pected, though it is not up to last year's crop and it is aUo not 'quite up to the average. Tho outs crop is just b?ginlug to be cut lo a few localities, but it too is net an average. The wheat crop of 1831, la tho coun ties west of the Cascades, amounted to eight aud oce-half million bushels and the crop this year will be about from 15 to 'JO per c-nt leas than last year, unless it should turn out far beyond what it at present indicates. Haying it about over and a good crop has ben secured. Hops are not promising extra well; they have not the growth that ihcy sbould have. The lice ar present and dovelop under the present weather conditions, but so far no damags has been done. The lirt-t shipment of p-achcj was made from Ashland on the IG1J1 insl., whicn is ten days later than usual. EASTERN OREGON. G-Mwral rains occurred on the ICth the amount varying from .27 of an iuch at The Dallas to .2"J in Morrow countv, .31 in Umatilla county. .11 in Baker county and .18 in Uarnev county. The mean temperature has be jn from 66 To degree?, which is from two to four degrees b'low the average. There has boen an excess of cloudiness. On the loth brisk winds prevailed north of tbe Blue mountains. On tho 11th a frosi oceared in Klamath county which injured gardens. linrvest is in progress in all of the Columbia river valiy counties. The grain is yielding better than was ex pected, though not up to tho average. La to grain was greatly benefited by rains. The gruin crop in 1S91. in the counties cast of the Cascades, amount ed to five and oae-half million b.isholi. whilj this rear H is estimated that the crop will bj from 25 to S3 per ceut le. Corn is doing very well, though would have bettor growth with war mer wuather. The grass Is drying up. Potatoes are not a rood crop. There has been an average crop of hav S3- cured and stock growers feel confident tbat they will have pleuty of feed for anv kind of a winter. The streams are falling rapidly; some wells are dry and water U being hauled.

FOB PURE FOOD. Laudable Aclien by Boards of Hoa'.th TJpon th Baklujt Powdsj Queation. Boards of Health can engage in no more commendablo action than the examination of our food sup ply and the instruction of the pub lic as to those articles which ore found to be pure and wholesome, and which therefore consumers should use. . Action of this kind with the bak ing powders is particularly oppor tune. There are quantities of bak ing powders in tho market to use which is certain detriment to the health of the consumer. They are made from alum, or improperly compounded from other' chemicals so that they, leave a strong nlka line residuum in the food. Many of the powders; having proved unsalable in tho East, have been collected by their manufacturers from the dealers with whom they were loft v on commission, and shipped to the Pacific Coast. In tho effort to gnina foot-hold in this market unscrupulous manufactur ers of these cheaply made, low grade baking powders have in dulged in extravagant statements both with reference to their own and other brands, claiming tho most improbable endorsements for theirs, and defaming the brands best known and longest used upon the Pacific coast. The following extracts from the reports of some of our well-know health authorities will be of par ticular interest: The State Chemist of Washing ton, Prof. O. A. Bethune, says: "There i?, therefore, no question but the Royal a the strongest, pur est and most w hqlesomo baking powder in the market. " The Seattle Board pf Health says: "Finding in analysis it is made of tho highest grade pf cyeam of tartar and bicarbonate pf soda, and is entirely free from any adul teration, we heartily recommend the Royal Baking Powder for its .

The Tacoma Board of Health says: "Jn our judgement, the Royal is the best and strongest baking powder before the public. We confidently recommend it because of its purity and caro of preparation." The Spokane City Board of Health report: "There is cer tainly no baking powder known to us equal to the Royal for strength and uniform quality, and we recom mend it for its absolute purity and wholcsomeness."
