Jackson had run the gauntlet of uneon

little left a man could do in violation
of that sacred . instrument that he had
not actually done. AnJl to be accused of

membered that he informed the United

support the constitution of the United
States as bf understood it, and not as
it is understood by others" not tvn
by th Supreme Court. '
But when Jackson was a candidate
for the Presidency in 1824, Jefferson
said: j .
"I feel very much alarmed at seeing
General Jackson President. He is one
of the most unfit men I know for the

an able military chief. His passions
are terrible. He has been knneh tried

Jefferson if he thought it would be

. Although there is not much excite

going wrong that we are especially
wdtcitous as to the conditions which
arc the basis of satisfactory progress.
We are never so appreciative of the
blessings of health as when we fin!
ourselves under the protectnz care of

For these reasons, peeulisr to the bu

present political camign with less
enthusiasm than at any time, apparent

This would make no particular differ

two to four inehes deep anywhere in the

ed from any point in the eastern part

cars, often for five minutes, though at

it from twenty to fifty feet search

This experience i gone through with

POSSIBIIilTrES OF -HOOD RIVER,
AND OF OBXGON.
I( s estimated that there are 20, 000
acres of productive land under irriga
tion in the Hood River. valley, although
not nearly all of this land Is under cul
tivation. There are, approximately,
1,000 acres in strawberries and 3,000
acres in apple orchards. ' ,-
The income from these two sources
n that valley is estiinateil at 150,00D
each per annum. To-this should be add
ed $50,000 per year for hay and $150,
000 derived from the lumbering busi
ness, making a total of near $500,000
per annum, since the area from which
the lumber is taken is small, and that
but one-fourth of the 20,000 acres sub
ject to irrigation is under cultivation,
this means an iniome per acre of prac
tically $100 per year.

in its peculiarly favorable climate, and
in its facilities for easv and certain
transportation, but there are other lo
calities all over Oregon which are as
well adapted naturallr for the produc
tion of different staple articles as Hood
River is for apples and strawberries.
When we reach the era of smaller
farms, manufacturing enterprises
throughout the state, with increased lo

population, the entire state will enjoy
industrial conditions which at present
make Hood River valley an ideal com

River men report that never before
has the Willamette' river been so low as
now, and that unless the fall rains bn-
gin in earnest within a short time boats
will be unable to reach Salem uch

from the unusually dry season through
which this portion of the state has just

for the inauguration of a permanent
system of dredging the interfering gra

HOPS, mOH AND LOW.
For the benefit of our readers who
msy have forgotten that hop "at 30
cents were not always thus", we de
aire to recall that in 1894, tea years, ago
this month, hops-were Hot .selling in
the markets here for that price. ''
It was -. a .gcxnl season and the crop
was splendid, but many yard were not
picked at all. The promise for any
kind of, a living price was too dim to
justify the necessary investment in pick
ing money, end many growers thought
it best to take no -adJitional risk.
Hundreds of bales of good hops dried
on the vines.

AN AMBIGUOUS AGREEMENT.
In agreeing to keep their places . of
business closed on Suxdays until the
question of the validity of the Sunday
closing law can be determined in the
courts, the saloon keepers have done
what the ; Statesman has been advising
for-threeL months, but it does not go
far enough. The question is, Will they
agree to continue keeping them elospd,
provided the law is upheld, as it surely
will bef Did they agree to observe the
law right along if it shall be decidel by
tbe courts to be the law, or is there to
be a renewed defiance of the courts and
the law in the event of their "losing
their case? ' .
The agreement to observe the - law
durng the next four weeks is highly
commendable, but s it would suggest an
equal obligation to continue in thv
good work. Or was it a one-sided agree

Populistic nomination for tbe Presi

resistance into the, people, four years
more of apathy and discontent might
have rendered the case hopeless. The
leaders in 1908 who would seek to re
kindle the hopes of the masses might
have been met with the cry too
late.' "
Of course, everybody, will be glad
that Watson has thrown himself into
the breach just in time to save our
toppling governmental experiment, "but
it is recalled that Jefferson himself had
the same well-grounded conviction that
the government was a goner when he
wrote to his friend Genet, "the admin

has already done the forms, of the

RENEWING STRAWBERRIES.
Mow as soon as Mssibls after the
crop of fruit baa I-en gathered. Kake
the flel l when the grass and wee-Is can
be carted awa to be used as mulch
about the evergreens and other trees
on the farm. Burning has been r com
mended in place of raking, but in our
opinion, such treatment is dangerous
and altogether too heroic for tbe wel
fare of the plants. We have seen rows
of strawberries entirely ruined where
the mulch anl litter had been burn.jl.
If the plants are too thick and 'the
matt-d rows too wMo, cultivate with a
corn plow until tbey shall be reduced
to a narrow .strip say six jr eight I
inches wide. Hoe out the grass and
largo weeds. Applv a liberal .lressmg
of stable manure and abort 25 bushels
of wood ashes ier acre, which will pre
pare tbe field for an abundant crop next
year. -Wu.rre the land is free of grass
we have mowed the strict crry rows
occasionally during the Sumincr and

part of the day. it is understoou that
the case will

This case arose out of the sale of II 10
acres of "base," aborit four years ago.
Morse desired to purchase a tract of
irovernrunt iitnl.or land in . 1.
I county and sought to get it through
I the state as lieu land. He secured from

I aVI -. II - -.a
led 'by the local land office, whereupon

Genera! Land Office for approval it whs
j rejected and held for cancellation u
pon
the gTound that the mineral character
of the land offered as base had not been
satisfactorily proven. Pending an ap
peal to Jhe Secretary of the Interior,
Dr. Morse had the -state rclintiih its
claim under the lieu Stdection and took
tbe same land by means of serin, thus
making his title eood. He demanled
repayment of the $640 paid'- to. Gen.
Odell and this bt-ing refused he brouirht
this snifc-.
Morse asserted that Grn. Odell guar
anteed the base to be valid but the lat
ter denied this and averred that he had
only expressed his l-liei that it was
valid, and said that it had been ap
proved by the local land oflice. Dr.
Morse a lo testified at the trial that
Gen. Otlell promised to repay the pur
chase money. The jury took the view
of the agreement set forth liv Dr. Moras
and rendered a verdict in his favor after-Wing
out about twenty minutes.
Carson, Adams & Cannon were attor
neys, for plaintiff and J. V. ReynoI'ls
