ti LOCAL AJD GENERAL NEWS lidBized Account of Doings in City and Country. . AX OLD KANSAS JiEWSTATER MAX'S TALK. The Topeka Common-wealth con tains a long interview with Mr. uenry Buckingham, well known in this city, who has recently returned to Kansas after a long sojourn on the Pacific Coast. Wo clip the follow ing as a specimen of this cxper enced journalist's talk: "How about the health of the st'As a ceneral thing the people arc hMlthy. I heard somo c?niptoint of rheumatism. I consider tho climate in the rainy season hard for diUses of tho respiratory organs. The ladies have beautiful complex ions, and it is claimed they arc healthier than the men. In the summer the climate is probably the Xisantestof any state in tho union f'c , i zii.iT Thorn is 110 uleasanter place of resort in the United States than in tho mountains "What sort of a place is it for a working man?" "Better wages are paid than in Kansas, and men can work out of doors moro days in the year. I could not adviso a man with n family to go there without means, unless ho has somo trade. Those having from 500 to 2,500 can make aVcndid start, and do better than in tho western states. East of tho Cascades the case may be diflerent. It should be remembered that western Oregon was quito well set tled before the territory of Kansas was open for settlement." "Did you find many peoplo 'for merly from Kansas" in your travels?' "Lots ot 'em; and they arc scat tered from Southern Calitornia to Victoria. As a general thing, they are doing well and pleased with tho Pacific slope. He Pardon Xot a Hollow Mockery. In the items yesterday regarding the "pardon" of Aug. Shultz, the man evidently wrongfully sentenced from Clackamas county, for an act of which ho was evidently not guilty, tho writer had no intention of casting any reilections on tho governor, nor the eminently lawful way in which he exercised his right of clemency. It was intended to say that a pardon was a hollow mockery in such cases, simply be cause a man does not, in right, require a pardon for another's crime. When it is discovered that a man has been wrongfully nccused and imprisoned, the doors should open to him without such a thing as a "pardon." The pardon is intended for tho guilty; not the innocent. Tho ailldavits of tho witnesses, who were children, were supple mented with a petition signed by 4-52 of the most prominent and best people of Clackamas county, and his immediate neighbors were almost unnnlmous in tho petition, for his release from prison.

The Willamette valley, in tho cen tre of which is situated Salem, tho capital city of Oregon, Is In tho western part of tho state of Oregon, between tho Cascade and Coast ranges of mountains. It is fifty miles wldo and one hundred and fifty miles long and contains six thousand five hundred square miles of tho best fanning, fruit and stock lands on the Pacltlc slope. Its mountains abound in all of the valuable niinorals. Its forests supply, annuity, millions of feet of tho finest lumber In tho world, which forms an important source of revenue, as well as furnish ing employment to hundreds of men and making a market for produce. It must bo remembered, also, that these lumbering camps aro located in tho mountains on either side of tho valley, thus furnishing a market and nlso supplying lumber to all parts of the valley alike. In tomo places tho logs aro run down the streams and brought to tho cities aud there sawed up. This is tho case at Salem. The largo growth of timber in Or egon, is ono of the wonders to east ern peoplo. Tho hncl which in eastern states is a mere switch, grows hero to be four or llvo inches in diameter, and the common elder, of which boys in the east mako pop guns, grows hero to bo a foot in dia meter, and tho great cone-bearing trees grow to be two hundred and fifty feet or more in height. The farmer in Oregon has a widely diversified employment. Tho Wil lamette valley is, perhaps, tho most natural wheat growing country in the world. Wheat has boon raised for forty successive years on the same land, with never n yield of less than twcntyilvo bushels per acre and frequently fifty per acre. It has been sown in every month in the year and a good crop obtained. All kinds of tame grass grow lux uriantly. As a stock and dairy country, tho Willamette valley has al ways ranked among the very foremost, and the high price of butter caused by tho demand from California and tho mining and lumbering camps of Oregon and Washington Territory, makes tho dairy business very profit able. Asa fruit growing country the Willamette valley is destined to tako the lirst rank. Apples, pears, prunes and cherries grow to an unusual size, aro of tho finest llavor, and bear proliflcally. Ten acres of land set in fruit in tho Willamette valley yields a larger and moro certain in come than a quarter section stock or grain farm in tho Mississippi vnlloy. For instance, ono aero of prunes (ono hundred nnd sixty trees) , after they aro four years of age, will produco on tho average, two and one-half bushels to the tree. Two and one half bushels of green prunes will make, at a low estimate, forty-live pounds of dried prunes. For three years past Oregon dried prunes havo averaged ton cents per pound. Al lowing two cents per pound for dry ing (tho usual price) one aero will realize 725.00 net with but littlo ox ponsc Incured In production. This estimate is not only low but is being verified each year at an advanco on these figures. United States mortality statistics show Oregon to bo tho healthiest state In the Union. There cannot bo said to bo any prevailing diseases in tho Willamette Valley. Es pecially is it free from that class of diseases called summer complaints; and of chronic diseases, thoso of the nervous system aro benefited most by the olimato of Western Oregon. In fact for all diseases caused or ac companied by nervous prostration, tho climate of tho Willamette Val ley is almost a panacea. Many peoplo como to Oregon on account of ill health and a vory large por cent, aro benefited by tho change. One of tho Inducements to health seekers Is tho opportunity for recreation. Pleasure resorts In tho mountains, on the beach and at no ted watering places, are within easy reach. From any point In the Will ainotto Valley a few hours ride on tho train takes you to the Pacific Ocean, where, if you wish to llvo in primitive style, you may camp out and feast as often as you please on tho best fish in tho world, or clams and oysters, fresh from the briny deep. Read Dr. Portorfleld'fl circulars on Rupture. Ho will be at tho Monroe house for one week. ClireiCryfcPilclertCastsrla One naadred Thoncaad Farms. . Under the enlightened aud pro gressive policy of Its Executive and Congress, the Republic of Mexico durinsr the last few vents hns irrnut- ed concessions to promote the devel opment and settlement of that country so richly endowed by na ture in the resources of the soil, the forest, field and mine, and blessed with all the advantages of a salu- onous ciunate ana geograpnical lo cation. One of the most important nnd valuable of tho concessions has been secured by tho Mexican Land and Development Company whoso ad vertisement appears elsewberc, by which is acquired the ownership of one-third of the public domain in the St'ito of Tamaulipas amounting to several million rcres including agriculture, mineral, timber and grazing lands. Tamaulipas is tho eastern State of Mexico, and is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and tho Rio Grande river, Its north-east corner being opposite the city of Brownsville, Texas, thus immediately adjoining tho United States. There tn'o many portions of the state that are not surpassed In fertility and beauty anywhere in tho world. Tho climate is salubrious, with an average rain-fall for ten years of thirty-three inches ier year. The soil is rich, and it abounds in valuablo timber and largo deposits of iron, oil, coal and the precious metals. Still In its primitive condi tion, there is an opening here for all industries from the smith shop to iho great iron, cotton and woolen factories. From the piimltivo wagon road to the iron horse and stool rail; fiom tho wild animal of tho forest to the high bred cattle and sheep of tho field; from the primitive methods of agriculture to the steam plow mower and renper.fi om the com mon huts for human habitation to tho prosperous farm houo and the thriv ing town and city; from the condi tions of the sixteenth century to tho civilization of to-day. The ultimate results of this enter prise with intelliuent mnnnKcmcnt must bo marvelous, and tho stock of tho company now ollerctl lor sale is simply to secure funds for their full realization. Ono of the largest blocks of the most valuablo agricul tural land in the world, great tracts of timber, largo bodies of mineral land, vast oil fields, sites for towns and cities are acquired with an op portunity for building und operating railroads, steamship lines, and other public works.
