A war with Spain would undoubted ly result In our favor in spite of the great lotuses she might at the start in flict.on our soacoast cities. Our war ships fur outnumber those of Spain, n rid the result of war would be the free dom or annexation of Cuba. We would have the disadvantage of a long coast line, east, south and west, to de fend, but no army that Spain could muster would ever be allowed to land and hold any part of it for a week.

Dunbar of Goldendale.a man of truth and good judgment, re cently made a trip to Portland. : He is of opinion from what be saw aud beard that the Klondike craze is a mad rush for something that does not exist; that It is aglgantic scheme gotten up by the transportaiiou companies, merchants and press of the coast cities, and who have been cautious enough to locate1 the scene of the alleged gold discoveries fur enough away to avoid a too early exposure. "Of course there is gold there," he suys, "but not one in ten, nor one in a hundred, will come buck with anything, in Portland many of the outfitting stores have large displays in the windows of Klondike nuggets, which to the uninitiated appear gen uine, but all are false and made for the purpose of deception. . They are on a par with the whole Alaska scheme a fraud." The senate, on . Monday, decided against the admission of ex-Senutor Corbett to a seat in that body by a vote of 6b to 19. It was not a party vote. Leading republicansopposed bis admis sion, while some democrats favored it. It was considered a bad precedent to establish, giving a governor the right to appoint a senator when it is the duty of the legislature to elect. It is now in order for the republican state convention to nominate Mr. Corbett or Home other well known gold-standard republican for United States senator, and let the voters know who they are voting for when they come to the leg islative ticket. Gen. Lew Wallace lately told a story of Lincoln for the first time, he claims. He said that one day, in 1862, Lincoln wag looking more sad thau usual and the general asked him what was the matter. Lincoln replied that he was thinking of going to Harrison's Land ing to ask McClellan not to surrender the army. This must have happened during the time that Lew Wallace was relieved of his command for getting lost with his entire division when or dered by Grant to march to the battle field of Shiloh, only five miles away. The farmers' institute, which will begin in Hood River today, at 1:30 p. in., and close Saturday evening, prom ises to be instructive and entertaining throughout. It is unfortunate that the institute comes at a time when our farmers are very busy, but they will not let their farm work prevent them from attending the institute, and we look for full meetings by those most interested. - Gen. II. B. Compson teudered his services to the president in the event of war with Spain. He agrees to fur nish two regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry and a battery of artillery, to be called the Oregon Brig ade. Gen. Compson is a veteran of a hundred battles, and if it becomes nec essary to accept bis services, the boys that enlist under him will have a chance to make a record for the Oregon brigade. ' f. An income tax law would be handy to have on the statutes in case of war, but, alas, this quickest and surest way of producing revenue has been declared unconstitutional.

There is no glory for him. Mr. Davidson' Reply to the Union. Hood River, March 1, 1898.' Editor of the Glacier : In reference to an article in your lust issue regarding fruit shipments, we wish to state that it. would require considerable space to explain all ot tlie details referred to, so I will touch only a few points which are apt to be misuuderstood, aud most important. My position regarding the election was clearly stated in the circu lar and does not need repetition here. but the fact of my resignation having been ottered, with the reasons tneretor, should not have been suppressed as they were iu the article referred to. The,resolution and the "preamble or essay" referred to, contained mutters of paramount interest. It is not prac tical to sell strawberries to buyers in Hood Rivr, as a rule, but after the growers have run the risk of the fruit in transit and have delivered it in Morir tana or any oilier joint, in good condi tion, I would like to nave some one explain wherein it is illegal or immoral for the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union, through their representatives, to .agree with a private concern Or an individual on an asking price for that fruit? The Hood River Union is the first concern I have ever met which, after five years of existence,, considers it illegal and immoral, to have a selling price for its goods, for its own protec tion, which is, iu reality, its patrons. One concern or shipper cannot do this alone, except in a very limited way. So fur as loading cars in unison is concerned, It is a matter of far less im portance as compared with the holding of prices, but white manager of the Union it was found highly profitable to have other shippers .help fill the car when the Union did not have enough to do so alone. It may have been im moral, but it was profitable' to the growers at any rate. Last year was the first that the Union absolutely refused to work in harmony with other ship pers, and was the most disastrous, i'here is scarcely a fruit shipping point in the United States where there are uot several shipping concerns repre sented. A dozen could be named, and in every case, except here, the several shippers work in harmony iu making up shipments and in distribution. It may . be illegal and immoral, but the practice is profitable to the growers. It tnay.be that the Davidson Fruit Company has the cart before the horse; but if so, it seems to work all right. As shipping agent for the Union during the seasons of 1895 and 1896, with the formidable opposition of the Oregou Fruit Union, we had the curt and horse in the same relative position and made a higher average thau our competitor, and last season the Davidson Fruit Company, notwithstanding accusations of price cutting and ruining markets, made a higher average thau the Union, which was the first instance in its his tory where the Union was behind in the race for high prices. It does seem strange that the concern accused of "ruinously breaking markets" should get the highest prices. At the annual meeting it wus stated by a member of the board that it was becoming burdensome to the Union to pay the - Growers' orders, and a resolu tion was passed ordering a charge of 5 per cent, on orders (no charge less than 10 cents) tucoverrhisexpense. If goods are bought or labor employed and the grower does not happen to have the cash handy to pay the bill and is re quired to give an order on the union in payment, the laborer or merchant de mands an order for $1.10 instead of $1, and for $2.10 instead of $2, but would have taken an order, not subject to dis count, for the $1 or (he $2 and left the difference to the credit of the grower. The party receiving the order might not be aware of the fact that the paper was subject to discount, in which case be would be imposed upon when pre senting his order -for payment. From one-third to one-half of the strawberry returns are usually drawn in orders, which seems to be an accommodation to the growers, and this commission of 5 per cent, added to the magnanimous ly low price of 8c, would make the cost of shipping a crate of berries 18c when the order is small and 13c when large, which more than offsets the reduction iu the price of shipping. A co-operative concern should he a money distrib uting and nota money making concern. Iu 1896 it is stated that the union run behind $92 on expenses, while it gained $190 in 1897, but they forgot to state that an expenditure of 10c per. crate and $92 brought almost double the amount of money into the valley in 1896 that was brought in at a cost of 10c per crate lens $190 in 1897 for prac tically the same quantity of fruit, show ing a gain of more than $10,000 at a cost of $282.

An ex-slave and an ex slave-owner have studied the condition of the mill operatives in New Bedford, and com paring these conditions and the condi tions of negro slavery, both say that the neirro slave was better fed, better housed, more lightly worked and better cared for than these mill hands are, be sides the certainty lie had -that in old age or illness he would be fed, clothed, housed, doctored and nursed, where the mill hand has only, charity to depend upon for these benefits.
