The resuk of the elections in several of the most important Eastern states on Tuesday tthow great gains for the democrats. , This Is the off year, but both the great parties put in their best licks, mid the battle, especially in Ohio, called out a full vote. The re. suitor these elections make it pretty certain that the democrats will control the next . house of representatives. Gold democrats are not voting the re publican ticket this year. Returns in Wednesday's Oregoulan tell the story, . as follows. , ' Van Wyck, Tammany candidate, is elected mayor of Greater New York receiving 885,181 votes to 149,519 for Low and 101,823 for Tracy. Democrats also carry the state. Ohio and Maryland are claimed by both parties.. " . In Massachusetts, Wolcott, rep , is re-elected governor by 00,000 majority. Iowa elects Shaw, rep.(governor, by 17,000 plurality, and republicans car ried the legislature. Nebraska ; was carried by the fusionlsts by 10,000 to 20,000 plurality. Kentucky is democratic by 15,000. Populists carried Colorado. Kansas is claimed by fusionlsts and republicans. ' Virginia Is democratic by 60,000. South Dakota went republican. " Pennsylvania, 145,000 republican plurality. I , The comnilssloner of pensions asks for a law that will debar women who may hereafter marry old soldiers from ever receiving a pension. Some of tb6 wives of these old soldiers may become widows and be on the pension list to good old age. There is said to be a few widows of soldiers of the wa . of 1812 now on the pension list, each receiving as high as $8 a month. If the old soldiers of the late war are al lowed to keep on marrying, some of their widows may be drawing pensions 60 years hence. This would be awful f The surest way "to prevent this would be to make it unlawful for any enlisted man during, the lute war to marry, This would save 'the pension list from being burdened with their widows 50 years fioai now and save more for the widows and progeny of the officers. v- 1 he fifth annual meeting of the . Northwest Fruit Growers' association will be held in-Portland, commencing the second 'I ue8day iu January and continuing three days. The member . nhip of this association extends throughout the Pacific northwest, and fruit growers from Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho and British Columbia will attend. As the date of holding the an nua) meeting of the Oregon state horti- cultural pociety is also the second Tues- day In January, Oregon fruit growers will lie able to attend the business - meetings of both organizations.and the general programme will of course be of a character Interesting to all fruit growers. :' The great wheat crop of the Inland Empire has fcjfeen successfully gathered, and long trains' loaded with the golden grain are being hauled to tide water. 'lhe wealth now pouring into the grain producing districts is already having a good effect on all lines of trade through out the northwest. The mines of Alas 'i ka and others jiearer home will soon vv'..oomnieu(ie to draw thousands of people . irom the Jiast and Europe, and un less all signs fail, the Pacific northwest will soon be experiencing a season of , prosperity unexampled in Its history. lhe Fossil Journal (rep.) hopes the Oregon inn was mistaken when it some , time ago spoke of District Attorney A A T ' - .... . . r.. n. jhj no as a candidate to suc- ' -feed Judge Bradshaw of . this judicial district, and adds: ':We think each of these officers now holds the position he Is best suited for, and that it would be a public misfortune to make a change In either office.

Now, if he brounht his plow in 1894, 1 will con cede to him the honor of bringing t he first suliwil plow to Hood River; but I will not accept his criticism on the une of drain tile and buUhoII plows In Hood River valley. i He thinks both are useless there. Well, in the words of another, "Wise men will diiier;" hence, if Mr. Wheeler and I can't agree on this point, we might botli be called wise. He says me unaer drainage and triable cuarac ter of the soil, such as that on the pla teau in ooa luver valley, needs no drainage nor subsoil plowinir. Well. will confess that the plateau on the west side of Hood river, for a few miles south of town, may not need either, as man seer ion is well supplied with rocks, sand and wind, so much so that water will soon dry up in the snrlmr: hence irainage may not tie necessary there, but subsoil plowing is beneficial every where, in all soils and ail climates wiiere veireiaiion is ra sed, nut. out side of the plateau referred to (which we concede is the strawberry belt of nooa jtuver vaney), we find the soil underlaid with a clay subsoil. This Is true of nearly all the foot hills south and west of town and almost the en tire east side of Hood River valley. This Is the best armla land in th val ley, and it is tliia class of soil that needs deep plowing and good drainage.. Mr. Dethman'8 orchard, on the East, side,- which won the medal at your last fair, has a clay subsoil, and by in vestigation we find that the hest. nnnlp districts everywhere have a heavy soil, underlaid with a strata of olav nrl sand, and it is this kind of fruit land that needs good drainage and deep plowing. Experiment stations and progressive fruit growers everywhere testify to the same, and even urce Hl uinming ii roiling lanu. ir 1 wa anie, nnancially, 1 would place a drain of 3-inch tile between each row of trees in rny apple orchard. Bid. Wheeler states that thorough cultivation retains moisture. Quite true, and the deeper you cultivate the more moisture you create and retain. Do not understand me as advocating the Use of a subsoil plow on au old or chard near the trees, unless root prun- ins isuesireu; nut in starting a young orchard your soil can not be plowed too deep. . Yes, Bro. Wheeler, I'll give you the honor of bringing the first subsoil plow to Hood River, but I'd like to insist on you to not let it rust. You had better loan it to your neighbors who are start ing young orchards; they will never regret having used it. The advan tages of drain tiling are so numerous that I will only mention a few. It preserves the fertility of the soil and prevents surface washing, which is aj loss of your most valuable soil. It car-1 ties away the water which is intnrinna ! to the roots of our fruit trees during at least six months of our wet season, hence the life of manv a rre la n voJ. and it assists the soil to breathe the air or lire. , i predict ttiat some day a progressive uciij grower in ttood Itiver valley, "on that plateau." will by introducinir the system of suh-ln-i. gauoii witn drain tile, which is attracting special attention in .eastern experiment stations ' The draining that I am doing on my Liberty Home" fruit, f rill rm fha JCiasi oiae. is most v , in r cli hnttnm mnu, not, in orchard, and I exnect, to raise enouirh clover hav'fmm it. tho iiistyeario pay for the cost of tiling, though it is very expensive.

The loss of the Venture in no way discouraged Captain Coe or R. R. Thompson. They immediately built the steamer Colonel Wright, after receiving the contract to transport army supplies to Fort Walla Walla and other interior posts. The Col.

But while this raising of the water level, or table, as it wuieu, may ne a oenent to certain ops and their owners, to others it. may be a detriment, causing winter killing of trees and the necessity for uiiuc-iuiumiiig. XI. U. X. Lawrence Coe Dead. ' Lawrence S. Coe, brother of Capt. H. C. Coe, of Hood River, died in San Francisco recently, aged about 65 years. Deceased came to Oregon from New York in the early '50s with his father, Nathaniel Coe, who was the first gov ernment official of the postal service in the Northwest. Those were the days of the rugged history of Oregon, and there are now comparatively few left who lived in the territory when ttie sturdy pioneer with his sous came from t lie distant, East to the wilds of Oregon to found new homes, Later, with R. R. Tompson, lie built the steamer Venture at the Cascades. It was intended to steam the vessel up to the dalles and then take it overland to Celilo for the purpose of running on the Upper Columbia and Snake rivers. The trail trip was to tie made under the management of Captain Coe, hut through some misunderstanding the! ' Water Rights.

But as I view the busy scene, my thoughts will often fly Back to a little printing shop within the town where I, , A printers devil, dreaming of my future creiit sncfsH.. On Friday afternoons would Ink the old hand press. In that far time and place 'twas not our for tune to enjoy Self-inking presses, but we had a real self-ink-ing boy.
