March Winds.
Listen, Kitty, my darling!
Here by the freside bright
Do you know what the winds are saving
Abroad in the gusty night
Moaning under the windows,
y, Like the voice Of q chilli that grieves---
Making the naples shivef
And creak'at the cottage caves.
Listen, Kitty, my dariingA
Ihe WINDS are singing assong,
of the spring that is softly stealing
From the sunnier lands along;
The snow-drops smile as they hear it.
A smile for the sweet springs sake:
And the shy little ,violets whisper.
we hear! we are broad awake -
No matter, Kitty, my darlingl
inough the March winds drearily blow,
am sure that the daisies are stirring :
Down under the sheltering snow;
IN spite OF the clustering weather,
The crocus is budding again:
And the dafodils whisper together.
And wait for the April rain.

Letter From a Farmer.

Ed. STATEsMAN:-I Startel out to show that
there were four great staples which Walla Wa.lI
valley could produ e, which are cOnst tInllc b.inI
shipped from b low: Flour, Beans, BrJoms and
Bacon. And "a have said Il good deal on the
flour question, will now state som facts in re-
gard to the culmre of Beans. THIS is an article
which forms one of the heaviest items IN the
mining trade. II being Il m Ist the sole vegeta-
bl diet Of the ;ner, must necessarily prove an
important part Of his trad Ii W ul b. II rith-
er difficult task to form an estimate of the
amount consumed in the III mes adj. celt 10 this
valley; but some idea can be gained of the vast
amount from the shipments of some of the lead.
ing houses doing business with the interior.
am informed tn t three houses in Walll WIllI
import annually, 500, 900 pounds of beans, a I'd
deem it safe to say tn It the mining camps, to
which supplies can he tIken from this valley
cheaper than any other bean growing country
would consume at least three m lion pounds
annually, which, at the low figure of six cents
per pounl would amount to $500, 900; thus ma
king almost respectable income for every
farmer of Walla Walla. Now think there is no
exaEgeration in these figures, and there is no
dS"i' DO - market wruIi be found Tor his
But it !, oGt9* I thy EsEs Only ygrfPiiSSd on

as farmers of this = Hey rrSe only few hun.
drcd pounds of beans there will be no market
for the article.
CuPpOsP one nun pFoNlcC5 lO,UNJ POUNDS OF
beans and brings them to WJlia Wa,la Citv to
sell, he would hardly find sale for them at any
price; aud why? Because every merchant of the
place has from ten to fifty tons in his warehouse
which he has impnrte and Consequently has no
demand for five o. six tons IN ,re. The producer
''hawkS' them around towd and trades off Il few
hundred pounds here and there gets som. gro-
ceries, dry goods &c. fIr tlIcm, goes home, and
swearS he will never raisr any more D ans. But
we will suppose that there is supply raised
here. ami tits well known t. the mer harts b re
and in the Interior that there is a supply in this
market; then the. dealer can make his Cacua-
tions accordingly, and be prepared to buy from
his neighbor, who, in turn, will take Il large
amount of it in his wares, etc. The trader in
the mining camps will send here his orders and
they can be filled without going 10 San Fran
CISCO as at present.
1t will undoubtedly be some time before these
things can be brought about, but the time will
come, and | will close now by saying that we
can produce beans of the right kind to suit the
miner, and in large quantities per acre. aud it is
a sure crop. More anon, W.W.F.

LETTER FROM UMATILLA.
UMArILLA, May 18th, 1866.


T, sr,rrsuAx:-Our city, like all others on
the banks of the .dark rolling Oregon, is hav:
iDy a ouiet smell, but | must say the spell
hangs like pail aud everything seems HAT,
stsIs and unavoidable" However, we are on
,he ova of having a little occurring, and pro-
sale gentlemen are gathering III from all guar,
ters. When lost to all sense ot Justiee or good
morals, we turn our atentlon 70 Po"'lIs' vi
which there is quite quan'lty IN tu'S m"rAet-
i fact, more politics than rellgion'
Our venerable sres," the y. >. N. Co., tried
their hands the other day at giving us side
wine or a Quiet dig 10 the ribs presuh their
action in this little matter was simply TO give us
TO understand that we are now Ola enough 10
trot along alone, and that they, 1.-THE U. ). n.
Co. had lately taken under their chArge, anu
intended to raise, another infant City, which
thew had named after the signers Of the Declara-
tioH of Independence, White Bluffs. Don't you
think Tbad. Stevens will get after tnem, and
force them to strike out the name Of Rhite' or
force them to give up their mail contract
The "dip" occurred as follows; Two pack
trains had secured loads at this place for Back
foot, and rs soon as tins tact was asceriSlneu
:bere was perfect onslaught made upon tie
said packers by the o. 5. N. Co., for the,r auda-
city IN daring to take freight from UmAtlllA u
Blackfoot, when they 1.-THE Co. had town es-
t1b!ishe especially tOr that puipuse, some nlne
| miles above, known as WhIte Butts. Not sue
| eeding in trishtening the sturdy "mule-Steer-
| ers' from their purpose, they then ADVISED thrm
by all means to put their freight aud mules on
the steamboat, and have all transported to
the Bluffs, and make their start from there.
But the packers couldn't see the necessity ot
going so far out of their way, So another effort
was made, and proposition offered, to. take
their mules, freight and men to the Bluffs for a
nominal sum- but the combined intellect OF the
O. S. N. Co. failed to make any impression ON
the ..muIe steererS," and our venerable sire
was reluctantly compelled to give up the con
test, leaving the packers master of the field, or
trail, which they took short time after
Now, what could have been the object of the
great 0. S. n. Co., iB attempting TO interfere
with our private affairs, we are at a loss to de-
tetmine, unless it be that the action of our Ramp
Congress, is beginning to pcrvade all classes ut
society Interference with State Rights, begets
the feeling to interfere, to the extent of your
ability, with all matters that don I exactly square
with your deas-d la Thad. Stevens. Can this
be it? 1t certainly looks very much like it.

FRIDAY. May Is, 1906.
Trade for the week just closed has been quiet,
but not more so tn IN usual at this season of the
year. The complaint of So dull times" so gem
eral in the lower country, has not as yet been
heard in this locality. IN the absence of min
ing demand, our local trade is such as to give
partial employment to our business men, and
thus prevent any thing like general stagnation.
In the Flour and Grain market we have to note
a steady decline. We quote Wheat at ST o. per

CHANGING THE NAME.-We see By our
Eastern exchanges that the term " Uuion "
as party designation is being very generally
dropped. In the New England States, the
papers uniformly substitute "republicln" for
ounion." The same expression we notice Is
used BY portion Of the California press
when referring to party organizations. In'
deed, there seems to be general disposition
to get back to old party names and party
divisions. The union party as originally con-
stituted embraced the most discOrdant mates
rial, the only bond of unity being the deter
mination to maintain and defend the Union
of these States against the attacks OF armed
traitors The great purposes for which the
war was waged being accomplished, the me-
cessity for the cooperation OF men OF dlner"
ent political sentiments is no longer felt, and
hence the disposition to resume old party as
soc;ations. The rupture between the Presi
dent and Congress has no doubt tended to
hasten this result, but without even tnis
cause for disruption the integrati9H OF the he
- V"'J a qursIIUu or time. Inc men
Of democratic antecedents had nothing in
common with the original abolitionists, and
it was ouly the terrible scourge Of civil war
that brought them together and enabled them
to act in harmony. The outside pressure re-
moved the tendency to separaIion-of which
the return to the use of old party names is
only an index-is irresistible. That the re.
publicans are the FIRST to openly recognize
this changed condition Of affairs is by no
means to their dscredt, and certainly argues
no lack Of patriotism. The union party was
organized to meet a great emergency, and
that emergency over its members are free to
form such associations as may comport with
their convictions Of duty.

SurHNAEs LOAN BILL.-1t will be seen
that Tie new loau LiIl just introduced in the

Of May 5th, as follows: " | left the Little
Dallesr on the steamer Forty Nine, on the
10Th dxeof April, and saw the foot of Death
Rapids on the morning of the 2jth. The
steamer has proved perfect success she
found no obstacles that she did not readily
overcome. There was some little ice in the
upper end of the lower lake, and about five
miles Of mash ice in the lower end of the
upper lake The river-from Little Dalles
to the head of the Upper DIlIes, distance
Of about 6ity miles from the mines-is as
easy Of ndTiIltion as the Columbia below
the mouth of the Willamette; above that
point, at extreme low water, the Havigation
is difficult. In going up the water was so
low that the boat had to wait at the foot of
some of the. rapids for tie water I, raise.
The snow on the banks above the upper lake
VIC found from eighteen inches to two feet in
depth; and was told that the snow on the
divide was from four to five feet deep, and
very soft. The steamer will continue to run
during the season between Little Dalles and
Death Rapids. She left aglin on Monday,
