Col. Pat Donan,' who a year ago was
diting a paper at Salt Lake and
preaching calamity, is now employed
by the Portland immigration bureau
to travel In the Eastern states and lec
ture and advertise Oregon. He is now
working for a good salary, and good
times, at least for him, have changed
his tune wonderfully. He had himself
Interviewed in Chicago and told how
rich we are in Oregon: He says: 1
From the northern line of California
and Nevada to tne remotest limits of
Alaska and the Northwest territory,
the whole Pacific slope Is booming
booming beyond all precedent. I am
one of thowe who devoutly believed that
McKinley, as the "advance agent of
prosperity," was traveling a long way
ahead of his show; but the caravan has
caught up with the foremost bugler
ind fill Kster, so far as the Pacific
Northwest is concerned. The stars in
their courses have fought for Protec
tion Billy and the "grand old party."
Prosperity lias swept like a golden cy
clone over Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Alaska and British Columbia. Great
as the Yukon gold Jbooru is, and infin
itely greater as it is to be, it is, as yet,
but a trifle compared with other booms
that are pushing the Pacific coast for
ward. Take Oregon, for-instance.
With an area of 96,000 square miles
this year produced 40,000,000 bushels of
wheat, worth S30,uou,uuu. in aaauion,
Oregon has this year turned out 600,
000,000 feet of lumber, worth $12,000,
000 f' about 60,000,000 pounds of fruit,
worth about $5,000,000; something like
15,000 000 pounds of wool, worth $2,-
ooo.nuo; nsii, amounting to $3,uuo,uuu;
gold, silver, copper, lead and coal, ag
gregating $10,000,000 a grand total of
$70,000,000. or about $175 for every mnn,
woman and child within her borders
for one year's yield!
,H6od River will be glad to learn that
the fruit crop surpasses in value the
wool clip and that our fruit sold for 10
cents' a pound.
Hon. Emile Schaniio was in town
Tuesday. He has lately received let-
teers from C. F. Pfluger of Portland,
secretary of the society for the intro
dilution of useful song birds into Ore
gon., He describes the chickadee,
called the Oregon chickadee by Mr.
Suksdorf in a communication in an
other column, and the Hudson Bay
chickadee by Mr. E. W. Winans. It
is evidently a species of the same fam
ily of birds as the German kohle melse.
Mr. Schanno has been agitating the
question of importing the kohle melse
for years, but not until Mr. Jacobson's
ariicle was published was there any
effort made to import them. Mr.H.E,
Dosch, commissioner of horticulture
for the first district, has sent to Ger
many to learn the cost of their import
ation. He will collect money in Port
land to send for the birds and hopes
the other districts in the state will co
operate in the good'work.
The late grand jury found where sav
ings could be made to the taxpayers in
the matter of boarding county prison
eis, also in the practice of justices of
ihe peace binding persons over to the
errand lurv charged with . trivial of
fenses that usually result in acquittal.
The last pamed offense against the
rights of the taxpayers has been com
mented upon by former grand juries,
but no way has yet been found to put
a stop to it. .

The wealth of Wasco county in
money, as shown by the assessment
rolls for 1897, is but $4,987, and yet
thousands of dollars worth of business
is being transacted throughout the
t-ountv every day. Either money is
not absolutely necessary for the trans
action of business or else somebody has
lied to the assessor. -
The civil service law is proving to be
very much in the way of the office
peekers, and it will have to go. Its re
peal will likely be accomplished' at the
next session of congress, in time .to
give the next administration, which
may be democratic, a full sweep at the
offices.

' Insect-destroying Birds.
Binoen, Nov. id, 1897. Editor
Glacier: From' your paper r see that
N. A. Jacobson's article on the kohl
melse has created quite a,n interest in
birds amongst our fruit 'growers. It
will undoubtedly lie of great benefit if
this little iilru is imported. - itut we are
not altogether without birds that work
in the same line. We have here at
least seven kinds that operate on trees
the same 'way. One, the Oregon chick
adee (Parus alrlcHpillus), probably the
one that Mr. Schanno saw at Hood
River, stays here all the year round.
The others come to us from the nioun-
tidna in October and stay till spring.
They are the mountain chickadee
(Parus gabeli); the' chestnut-backed
chickadee (P. rufescens); the nuthatch
(Sitta Canadensis); the brown. creeper
(Certhia familiaris); and the two king
lets. lleifulUM calendula and satrapa.
They are ail very active oiras auu u
must take many a worm to support
them through the winter.

Report of Grand Jury.
We have been in session six day sand
have taken cognizance of all criminal
matters presented to us as coming with
in our knowledge, and have returned
13 true bills and one not true bill. We
have also inquired into and dismissed
several matters that were of such triv
ial nature as not to warrant further ac
tlon. We have made a cursory exam
ination of the. county clerk's, sheriff's
and county treasurer's offices, and have
no criticisms to oner as to metnous or
manner of keeping the records and ac
counts of these offices. The attention
of the court is called to the condition
of our county jail, which we find to be
badly arranged ana inadequate tor its
purposes, our jail contains iour ceus,
three of which are only 6.x 9 amd one
8x9 feet in dimensions. In each cell
we found three uncomfortable cots or
hammocks, the cell itself having no
ventilation except witn tne corridors
of the jail. To confine three persons to
the limited space or one or tnesecens,
breathiug only the vitiated air of the
corridors, and sleeping on most uncom
fortable beds, does not seem to us to be
either prudent or Humane.
The inmates of the Jail protested in
strong terms against the food furnished
them, we inquired into tne matter,
and conclude that their, complaint
were somewhat exaggerated. We would
however, call thcatteution of the mem
bers of the legislative assembly from
this county to the propriety of securing
an amendment to section 2341, Hill's
annotated code of Oregon, which gives
the sheriff $5 per week for keeping pris
oners when the number does not exceed
four, and $3 per week when the num
ber exceeds four. , Evidence is not
wanting that in some instances the
contractor who supplies the prisoners
with food receives only iz cents per
meal and for but two meals each day.
It Is the ODinion of this grand Jury that
the boarding of prisoners should not be
a source of revenue to any officer, and
we believe that it would be in the in
terest of humanity and effect a saving
to the county if the section referred to
could be so amended as to give to coun
ty courts control in this matter. We
believe that any person confined in our
county jail Is entitled to wholesome
food, pure air and a comfortable bed, at
least up to the time or nis conviction.
The grand iury visited the poor1 farm
and Questioned inmates apart from the
contractor, none of whom had the least
complaint as to treatment received.
One lady informed us that it was just
like home there, and all the apartments
or the house seemed wen ordered ana
cleanly.
We deem it our duty to otter a word
of caution to the justice of the peace
and committing magistrates or tne
county against sending to the county
jail persons accused of trivial offenses
wnicn usually result in acquittal, in
volving only great expense to the
county.
in conclusion, we peg leave to ac
knowledge the assistance and courtesy
shown us by the court and district at
torney and the respective county of
ficers. E. L. Smith, Foreman
