Agricultural.

We have received the monthly report
Of the Department Of Agriculture for
Oct, 1875, Hon. Frederick Watts Com
missioner, from which we condense the
following statistics. This years wheat
crop is eighty per cent. less
than last year. The depreciation
amounts to nearly os,oooooo bush
els, The crop Of tie United
100000 pusncis. In quality the crop IS
said to average II per cent. below TINT
of last year. Owing to carly rains there
has been great loss by sprou,ing and
rotting in shock and stack. Ann the
places mentioned in the report where
the best wheat is to be found the Pacific
Coast takes prominent rank. The corn
crop is said TO be exceptionally good.
The rye crop Of 1874 was an average
one. This yeai S crop falls short about
four per cent. The oat crop is five per
cent greater than last year. The barley
crop is thirteen per cent. less than last
year. The buckwhcat crop is not far
from average.
The report furnishes statistics Of tie
potato crop from all Of the principal
States in the Union, and sums up that
the crop, as a whole, promises to be cN-
traordinary in both yield and quality.
The tobacco crop is two per cent.
above the average.
The number of fattcning cattle in The
country is somewhat grcatcl than last
year. California is reported 5 per cent.
below average, and Oregon two per
cent. above.

Make An Effort.
ATURDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1919.

"Shall the cork be drawn" is the qucs-
ton propounded by the Walla Waila
Shirt in its editorial comments upon the
tho proposition for the organization of
new transportation company to compete
with the O. S. y. folks, Tor the carrying
trade of the upper country. The new
company asks for 100000 subscrip-
.tcn from the people, and propose to give
receipts 10 all persons for the amount OF
money paid, such receipt to be afterwards
receivable by the company for the amount
IN payment of freight charges. The COM
pany also demand the building ola wagon
road from The Dalles to Celilo, estimt;cd
to cost $4,000.
We are always glad to note that an cf-
fort is being made to better the condition
Of things in any part of our territory, and
always feel like lending helping hand to
any laudable pubic enterprise. An effort
by the people Of Wala Walla to help
themselves will sooner or later rebound to
their advantage. Just about so many cf
forts have to be made before anything is
accomplished, and it is a satisfaction some
times to know that al least one effort has
been made. We believe with that perse
~erng character of Dickens, Mrs. Chick
that an "cffort' is one great step towards
accomplishing any desirable end. Why
is it not possible for the people Of WaIa
Walla by cooperating to mitigate thcil
condition to n very great extent? II
ANON there is strength, and also let oul
brethren cast of the mountains not forg,
that Jupiter refused to assist the wagoncl
out OF the rut until the wagner had frs
put his own shoulder to the wheel, ant
that tie sequel of the fable showed tha
the aid of Jupiter was not needed after all
So it will prove with matters of Territorial
or county improvement. People are too
prone to cry for aid before they have cas
about them to see first what they can dc
for themselves. To our Walla Wall,
friends we say make an effort" &C onl

fastened back to Gorcum to examine the

Gather up the Fragments.

Most men live busy lives. The majority
are busy in providing for the daily wants OF
life; many are busy accommodating wealth
or honors, and some, alas, are only busy IN
spending what they have, to bring the great
est amount of enjoyment. But all have pre-
ciouS fragments of time. and of opportunity,
for which they are to give strict account
in the last day.
Every day of our life each one of us have
opportunities of doing good to our fellow
men, and of promotir the extension of the
Redeemers kingdol Let us gather up
these fragments Of ime and opportunity,
and be always read 20 do what we can to
lift burdens from I weary, and to prepare
the world for the q ling of the Lord.
We should also gather up of the means
which we are telrted to waste on triHes,
that we may have give an answer to the
calls of Providenc If every household in
the land gathered uI the fragments that are
daily cast from their tables, the hungry
would all be fed; and if every follower OF
Christ watched daily for opportunities to do
kind deeds to Christ's poor, and to speak
word for the Master, this poor sin-stricken
earth would be rapidly freed from its curse,
"the wilderness and the solitary place would
be glad, and tn aesyJa would speedily bios,
som as the rose.

Loyal to Their own Church.

DIR. Wiswell remarked, at late Sabbath
School Institute, that Presbyterians are the
most modest, the most liberal, and the least
loyal to their own Church of any people un-
der the sun. They build other peoples
fences, and cultivate other peoples gardens,
patronize largely the Sabbath School depart
ments, and literature, and textbooks of out
side societies, and even of other denomina-
tions, and seem to forget that they have a
Church with agencies and appliances of its
own of very superior excellence, for which
they and no others are responsible to God
and their fellow-men. He had even known
of some weakened brethren who were afraid
of recommending their own Lesson Notes
and Sabbath School requisites to Presbyte-
RAN schools, for fear of offending somebody.
He had heard of some elders and superin-
tendents Giving probably in California or
Alaska,) who had introduced into their
schools the textbooks and literature of de-
nominations other than their own. Such was
the measure of their exceeding liberality.-
Moreover, he had not noticed this peculiar
ty in any other denomination. Generosity
and modesty are, no doubt, good things to
have, but it may not be amiss to inquire
while looking after other peoples
children, it is worth while to let ones own
paintings 60 barefoot, and whether it is not
4 paramount duty to occupy and improve
one's own house, and cultivate and make
fruitful ones own garden. Doubtless our
beloved Church needs, most of all things, a
certain cohesive unity in sustaining its own
institutions, lacking which it cannot develop
its best working power. We should love
''not Caesar less, but Rome more. Pres

LESSON N.

ADAM EXPULSION IN HoPE.-Gen. iii; p, &c.
l. Does the first clause of verse p evil
IDENTIFY refer to the tempter's deceitful pro-
mise in verse 5; and was it not evidently
designed and adapted to deepen the impress
sion of their guilt and folly?
p What had they now learned in regard
to good and evil by bitter experience, that
the tree of knowledge itself ought to have
taught?
8. What have the wisest philosophers Of
all ages sought after as the very highest
knowledge? What did God teach man at
his very creation, to be the highest good and
evil?
4. Does not verse % intimate that the
tree of life was not a mere arbitrary symbol,
but an actual means of perpetuating life to
the Obedient, and hence an appropriate pledge
Of Immortality?
5. What is taught by their expulsion from
it and from the garden? Rom. Vi:23. Eph
il: s. 9.
6. Design of the cherubim and flaming
sword Does "to keep" imply to preserve
the tree and the way to it, as well as to pre-
vent access to it by the unworthy
7. If man had been forever excluded from
life, for what should that tree have been
kept? Was not the expulsion then accom-
panied with implied promise of restoration

School Boy Heroism.

Two boys were in school-room alone
together, when some fireworks, contrary to
the master prohibition, exploded. The one
boy denied; the other, Bonnie Christie,
would neither admit nor deny it, and was
severely logged for his obstinacy. When
the boys got alone again, "Why didn't you
deny it," asked the delinquent.
because there were only we two, and
one of us must have lied" said Bonnie
"Then why did you not say that did it,"
because you said you didn't, and l
would share the lie. "
The boys heart melted; Bonnie's moral
gallantry subdued him.
When the school resumed, the young rogue
marched up to the masters desk, and said,
"Please, sir, l cant bear to be liar-l let
off the squibs," and burst into tears.
The masters eyes glistened on the self-ac-
cuser, and the unmerited punishment he had
inflicted on his school.mate smote his con-
science. Before the whole school hand in
hand with the culprit, as if they two were
paired in the confession, the master walked
down to where young Christie sat, and said
aloud:
"Bonnie Bonnie! lad, he and l beg your
pardon-we are both to blame!
The school was hushed and still, as older
scholars are apt to be when something true
and noble is being done-so still, they might
have heard Bonnie's big boy-tears drop
proudly on his book, as he sat enjoying the
moral triumph which subdued himself, as well
as filled all the rest, and then for want Of
something else to say, he gently cried:
"Master forever?"
The glorious shout of the scholars filed
the old man s eyes with something behind his
spectacles, which made him wipe them be-
fore he resumed the chair.
