Korthup of Portland lias confuted to run as an independ ent candidate for congress in the sec .imd district, His platform is sound money, protection o'f American indus tries, restriction , of foreign immigra tion, and (lie opening of the Columbia river. Judge Nortlmp is an excellent man in evejy way; and. would make a congressman the state might well be proud of, but hecartt be elected: His candidacy will take many sound-money 'republican votes from Ellis, probably enough' 1) elect.' Bennett or Quinn. Hut fevv democrats outside of Portland will votd for Northup. If the sound inoijey republicans really 1 desire the flec.i ion ' of a soUnd-money candidate more than the defeat of Ellis(they Khould have united on MiiKercher. r-ound-inoney men froruall parties could have united on him, knowing that, his prohibition views would amount to nothing in congress and that his election would mean a victory for sound jnonoyv' There1 are' how five candidates for congress in the second district two 'republicans, one sound money, the other free silver; one l'ree nil ver-proteetion-on-wool-democrat, oiie populist and one prohibitionist. Pop ulists ' and prohibitionists '. will vote straight.' . With the other" parties it is n "cut-throat" game, and the way many of them will vote will be to cast their ballots for the man they think has the bust chance to win against theotie they wish to see defeated. ... The communication" by "Citisen" in "last week's Cii,A(jiER, in regard to -i'ouncilman Davidson's amendment to .'ordinance- No. 7, and other matters pertaining to the corporation, might be considered 'uncalled for. The "article was written by a friend and admirer of Mr. J)uvidson,. and, we considered it merely a good-natured criticism of. the management ..of corporation-' affairs. ' TJie UicreuM lii , the license mentioned will amount to $4 a year. The livery business has iot been exceedingly prof itable in Hood River so far. We have not heard . of any great fortunes being made. Since the consolidation of the two livery; "stables. prices, for hauling have' been very reasonable, and our merchants and others have had their hauling done cheaper than ever.. The livery company has about great in terests at stake as any business in town. It pays for its protection by paying a license, while our merchants are pro leeted by.the license paid by the pcdler. The letter of J. M. Hixson in Rural 'Northwest; which we" publish' in an other column, is full of praise for Hood River1 fruit and the manner in which ' it is packed, by our fruit growers!" 'This is something to be proud of. ' Hood i-iiver han the reputation of sending its fruil; to market in good , shape, and it should be the aim of every one in the. valley engaged in growing fruit to help keep up our reputation in this re- , upect.

Hon. E. B. Dufur and Mr. J. W.

It is strange that this work of rip-rapping the inner walls of the locks ; was not thought of in ti cue to have been completed with the contract , 'of the j)ay Bros. Some one is to blame for this blunder, and the person in charge of the work, it .seems .to' us,1 would be the proper one to blame. The Plckler. pension ' bill, passed by the lower house of congress 'Tuesday, makes presumption of death of an en listed man actual if no tidings have been heard from him for seven years; provides that desertion or dishonorable discharge shall not be a bar; to a pen sion under the act of 1800 if the enlistr ed man had served ninety -days sub&e-' qiiept.to ueh disqharge; i that-penslons allowed shall date from their first ap plication; fixes the maximum income of a widow entitled to a pension Under the act of 1890-at f ilOO per annum; pro-' videii that ho pension shall be reduced or discontinued except for fraud or're covery from disability, and that dis continued pensions, when reconsidered arid reallowedy shall date .from, their discontinuance. . .' - The questlou of reopeulng the Casr cade' reserve to sheepmen does not take with it the right of settlers to enter and occupy ; government- land' within' the reservation. The modification of the president's proclamation creating' the Cascade reserve, which is called for by the republican state platform and the petitions now being sent to Washing ton, only asks that sheepmen may be allowed 'to-reoccupy the. mountain ranges with their flocks.

Editor GxACiEr: In your issue of April 24 ''Citizen" sets up a howl on general principles,, and makes a special target of us and our line of business. ' Now, so far as "Incorporation" is con cerned we have nothing to say, aa we knew the town was incorporated wheu we came hereaiid wbeu wextmve any kicking to do we will most certainly do so according to fact's tustead of ac cording to "our best information,'' which in the case cited is a specimen of contracted1 presumptions, disgorged and giving1 vent to an active mind that is , badly dissatisfied because the livery interests are o conducted as 'to be harmonious instead of having a con tinual war within itself, and both the business and the public suffering as a consequence. Now, Mr, Editor, we refrain from elucidating "Citizen's'! article fully aud will not continue''' this discussion iuilber than this item, but we feel in duty bound to make a statement. , From a couucilmau's'staudpoiut we ae' in favor of this amendment, be cause, as a business proposition, it will necessarily bring a little more revenue into the treasury; it is affording the business a small protection and en courage?) the keeping of a more com plete Block in ibis line, which . wPl draw people he.'e to speud their money by oHe.'ing good accommodations; it it lives principally from patronage" of people who do not live here rand spends (be earnings among the people of the towa aud country generally. ..From a liveryman's standpoint we are.like "Citizen" intimated, in favor of this amendment, and among the reasons are these; This "job , lot com bination" has more of its owu money invested in its business and property than any other concern in town; is the most complete in its line, aud is the only one that voluntarily otters to pay iu to the town treasury the protection which-it asks; every- pedler,' or .person who is not permanently located here; undertaking to sell anything n ' town, not his own manufacture, is taxed a good stiff license (which gives protec-l lion to Hie mercnants free aua no com plaint eVen from -us.) and, contrary to 1'Citizen's". "best inforoiution," tbis part of tire ordinance has been enforced. ' We would consider any person or concern who would take out a license 'at $20 for the term of one year "as au hoiiovfble- competitor,' and lie would have our respect; but after we have prepared ourselves for emergencies -by keeping in readiness teams and Ve il ices which are used only occasionally, aud have someone, who lias very little if anything invested here, come in and take away this business free, works against us, and, does the public ; and town no good. '-.' So far as the people here are con cerned they have never had as good nor as cheap service in our line as since this ."job lot combination" .has been formed, because by having practically the entire business we can . afford to work cheaper and cannot afford to overcharge or mistreat anyone, as this would justly encourage competition against our interests. '' ! ; In conclusion, we perhaps care less, really about this ordinance, than our argument would infer, but we present it from the fact that we have not un dertaken any "sinch back" game, but have acted on a fairly substantial basis. If the council ?es fit to pass- this amendment, all right, and if they don't we will certainly kick against a license on our business alone for revenue, un less every line is taxed proportionately to the amfiunt of business done. Some may not have realized the benefits from incorporation which they expected, but as we expected, nothing and have re ceived 'nothing, neither have, "we been greatly injured. .

Hixson, .commission merchant of Seattle, writes to the -Rural North west as follows: ' .-''"' - ; ' '; ;'j 4 - I desire to correct a mistake that you appear to have fallen into, in reference to the apples from Hood River bringing such good prices because they are want ed for th. Alaska trade.; We wduld not disparage' or underrate the importance of the Alaska trade to this city. In 1 most, every line -the Alaska trade; is large. ' Apples for the Alaska trade:slj at from $1.25 to $1.60; '"i ' I ,'. ' We have handled ; HehryPriafee'a and ,VV..,J.

The apples that bring from $2 to $2.25 all go to, the local trade. This is a good market for flrit-class fruit put up in first-class style, and a poor mar ket for goods packed in a slovenly manner, although' the fruit may'.be fairly good. . . , . - !-. We have kept a man packing allthis winter; and apples were dragging at. $1.25 to $1.5t, when properly packed would sell for from $1.0 to $1.75 and sometimes $2. On one 'car of 700 bokes of apples I am satisfied, we made the party $1C0 by having '400 boxes (re packed at a.costof $20. -We charge 6 cents a box where -we have to' have them repacked. If .the. favtfiei'g would take the pains they might'do that work at home; they could save that money; and it would he a 'great' in vor tons. As a rule, the' best chance to "sell ls; when the goods first come in, and if the fruit presents an attractive appearancej it attracts the best trade, who can .af ford to pay good prices. .'. -'- - v I must say for Mr. Henry Prige. W.J.-Baker and some others at Hood River that we have had no occasion ito repack their fruit, and we could not improve on their packing. In ovei30 years in this line of business in " San Francisco, Kansas City ChiciigO. and Seattle, I have never seen better frviit and better handled than the most 'of fruit ' shipped from Hood River.'5 1' I have handled hundreds of 'thousands, yH, millions of .boxes of fruit, arid while there are scattered over Cali fornia growers who raise good fruit aiid put it up in good style, we have i&ver nandled from any one, Jocalif y'where1 it ht's been Inilversally as -good, aud well hand led e from Hood Iver '".f.,, ' When I commenced business here,"1 five years r.go, three-fourths of the ap ples comlcg to this market were in rough boxes, many of t.hernmade, pf shakes, slats and alP'kinds of riigh lumber;' apples not packed, and every time the- box was moved some of the peeling-was rubbed off we have talked and written on that subject, until now one rarely sees a rough box, but they have not learned to pack with as HViSoli care generally as they should. ..... , i .

Editor -LiiciEif: As a sort'of onet to your communications from the iivroff region, of Alaskan gold fields, I Will venture a few notes again from the gunny (South. , : , : : ' Our Spring lias been gomewnat' delayed, but niivv we may say tt IS rulij1'' on, bent oh the beneficent mission of the "UlorlusiGiver.'V; ,' The woodland Is almost, in. full leaf, apple trees and blackberries white with bloom, and .,tl)e dewberries half grown.

J picked the first box the evening of the 17th, and will, probably, get two oc three to morrow. From then on the Increase will be rapid, as there Is a wealth of berries already Insight. My new plant Is also looking well, the whole area of my berry patch, now amounting to four acres. This is my first crop here, and I am anxiously hoping that I may be able to so manage the sales as to lift me out of debt. Friday's St. Louis quotations are higher than for the post month, as only "fair" quality -ranged as high as Sli to 58 per 3&quart crates ; "Texas berries, mainly soft, affected by, rainy weather,. yet sold without difficulty at from 42 to 3.o0 per 6-gallon case for the poorest, to S45 for the best. Louisiana ber ries sold at & per 2J-pint case for soft to 82.75 for choice.".. All this In face of .the fact the "supplies were away short of the require, mente amid bright -mild weather quickening the demand," makes, me think good prices will range to parties who are able to scan the fields of demand and supply, the same by some rapid and systematic method. . Berries from South Texas regions have, been on it he markets for two months, and the pro ducers are doubtless nearlng the close of.their season. Along the line of the Texas Pacific, which runs through the north part of this county,and, clean through the state from Tex arkana to El Paso, embracing ' variety of climatic conditions as well as a wide range of cost of transportation, the price to consumers of good berries, at present writing,, will range from 15 to 80 cents a quart box. : , ' .

Six bottles e-oz. snuff for a dollar!;' This was Indeed a catch for those who have to buy it for whole fam ilies, as there was a clear saving of 50 cents on the six bottles, as they usually sell singly at 25 cents each;.' We have regularly advertised "Ralph's- Scotch dental snuff," Which we are assured is good for. the teeth as well as for teething. Don't laugh too fast at this last re mark, for I was solemnly assured by a six-year-old "up-to-snuff" and up-to-date boy that he "had to use snuff and chew terbocker, too, 'cause, why, he was sheddln' his teeth, and It kept him from gettln' sick." No wonder the heart quails and some turn sick and taint at the thought of. the commu nion service, and the : moral sertse shudders at the eternal unfitness- of the, tobacco-saU urated Christian partaking of the holy em blems. No wonder Individual communion cups are suggested-, and no wonder that the proposal in a Baltimore church recently cre ated such a ripple of surprise and- horror -at th) thought of "what .-we are coming lo" in this age; of microbe enlightenment and ad vancing refinement in some things. A "clos ing out sale'.' now Is baiting the public to draw them iri by advertising snuff at 12 cents a. bottle, which Is below cost. Of course, the merchant wlii lose on this In order to sell other goods, or else find It convenient to be out of the article when people call. I hap pened In house one day where the mother and one ef the girls were busy making up a large supply of snuff sticks, or brushes, to do for several weeks. I think she was using white elm roots, as certain kinds of wood are found to be specially adapted for the business.
