feod liver Slacier. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1894. Breckinridge is going to be a candi date for the United States senate. And tjie Oregonian ' unkindly remarks: "Men like Breckinridge have better chances before a legislature than before the people." - . In an address in Birmingham, Eng land, October 17, 1877 (as recorded by John Russell Young), General Grant made the following remarks in nature of prophecy: "I think we are rapidly progressing iu the way of establishing nun i ii factories ourselves, and I believe we shall become one of the greatest free' trade nations on the face of the canh, mid when we both come to be free-traders, I think that probably the balance of nations liad better stand aside and not contend with us at all in the markets of the world." Everything is not entirely lovely for the' democrats in New York. There are so.many factions and so many kinds of democrats that it must be hard for the democratic voter to tell where he is at or which one of the boys he is. Nathan Straus, the Tammany candi date for mayor of the city of New York, has withdrawn from the ticket because he would mot be dictated to by Hill. Tammany is willing to sacrifice ' the state ticket for victory in the city, and Hill is wil'Jng to sacrifice everything in sight if it will inure to his own can didacy.. Ex-Mayor Grant will fill the vacancy caused by the withdrawal of Straus, and It is said will require some changes to be made in the legislative and congressional tickets. The under standing is that Mr. Grant will require that Representatives Warner, Cockran and Dunphy, whom Tammany had turned down for the reason that they bad voted for the Wilson bill, be placed on the Tammany congressional ticket. Only one of the nine representatives who voted for s the Wilson bill was given a renomination by the Tammany democracy. Warner's district was given to Amos J. Cummings and Cock ran's place to George B. McClellan. This is probably some of the fine work of David B. Hill.- Hill worked against the passage of the Wilson bill in every way he could in the senate, and Cum mings aped his actions in the house. It is a queer kind of democracy they have in New York. It is scarcely three months since Hill disgusted his party all over the country (outside of New York) by his maneuvers in .the senate against the income-tax feature of the Wilson bill and all other legislation de manded by the democratic platform that was being attempted by the dem ocratic majority. He was then consid ered to be out of the party and did not take part in the caucuses of the dem ocratic senators. How any good dem ocrat (outside of New York) can so soon forget these things and endorse Hill is beyond our comprehension. This is the off year In New York, and if Hill is defeated it will be the best thing that can happen for the demo cratic party, j It would kill him off as a presidential possibility and save the . party lots of trouble in '96.

He seemed to. be a plain, common sense man of the world; "he had thor oughly done our valley, had, no tDwn lots or other real estate to dispore of, and did not care to purchase any., ' In answer to my questions as to what he thought 7 of our valley and com munity, he said: "Your valley is a very nice place to live in, in summer; not so good in autumn- and winter. - The ex cessive rains of late autumn are bad for rheumatism and lung and throat troubles; and the deep, wet snows of winter render that season also very dis agreeable. " : ' "You have here' a rather light but loose and friable soil, not very rich in humous or vegetable mold, but possess ing certain mineral properties that ren der it exceptionally well adapted to fruits and vegetables. Mucii of your natural scenery is grand, especially the high mountain peaks and the Colum bia river. Your people seem to be so ciable, industrious and enterprising, though some of them do seem to be gifted with very lively imaginations, especially when describing to a stranger the wonderful resources of your section. And I would just say right here that those highly-colored eulogiums always work more harm than good to a coun try. After having read some glowing account of the . country, or hav ing been preached to -by one of the faithful, the prospective purchaser comes here with very high expecta tions and is sure- to be disappointed. He sees here an undulating plateau (for Hood River can hardly be- said to have any valley, as that term is gen erally underscood), covered for the most part with a somewhat stunted growth of oak and the long-leafed pine, both of which are indicative of light soil and dry summers. Much of the land, also, is very stony, so much so in places as to preclude the idea of culti vation; and a great deal of the'orchard ing does not fill my idea of what it should be. "Of course, when irrigation becomes general, it will obviate any difficulty on account of drouth.". " - , I thought him lacking in apprecia tion of the great future which our fruit industry promised, and said ' as much. He smiled and said: "Your section is well adapted to fruit growiog, but there is scarcely a spot in the United States where strawberries would not thrive under similar treatment, and the larger fruits are being planted ex tensively wherever there is fighting chance for success." "But," said I; "if our fruits are so far superior to others " " ' " ' : 1 , "If they are," said he, "there will still be a tremendous competition on account of the vast amount of acreage already in cultivation." Tedrick. . Concerning School Money. . As there iias been considerable . in quiry concerning the small appropria tion made by the state school superin tendent, says The Dalles Chronicle, Superintendent Shelley referred one of the letters to State Superintendent McElroy and received the followiug answer, which, as the people have a well-defined opinion of their owu, will not prove entirely satisfactory. The letter, dated October 10th, is as follows: : Replying to your favor of the 5ih, iu whicu you inclose a communication from the board of directors of district No. 3 of your county, I beg leave to say that I have made inquiry relative to the matter and reply as follows: First You uuuerstand that I am not a member of the board of school land commissioners. The governor, the secretary of state and itie state treasurer comprise the board. Second I have made inquiry of the stale treasurer relative to the matter, ana Mr. Metschau gives me the tollow ing information: He made an appor tionment of all tuuds ou hand in Au gust last, the amount per cup, taut that nine being 87 ceuts. This money was forwarded to the several county treas urers, and I presume you have distrib uted this money to the schools of your county long ago. Mr. Metschau tells me that owing to the extreme strin gency of the times, it is impossible for uiui to collect the interest, due on the school fund notes now held by people In all parts of the state. You unqor staud that this fund arises from the in terest on the irreducible school land fund, and the school Jand fund arises from the purchases of school laud by people in alt parts of the state. The principal itselt cannot be distributed to the children of the state, but interest only.. - The state treasurer finds it, as 1 stated above, quite out of the question to collect interest to any appreciable amount, and it would be useless to fore close 'he notes held against the people, for the shrinkage in real estate values has been so enormous that it would be practically of no avail for the slate board to foreclose. He states that many persons whose notes the state now holds and who heretofore have been very prompt iu paying their in terest on tbis Hind are ,now pleading for further time iu which to pay their delinquent interest. The above are the reasons why a - large amount of the school funds has not been distributed tbis year, and I trust that you will make this plain to all boards of di rectors making inquiry of you regard ing tbis matter. 1 remain, yours very sincerely, 15.
