nation should never make war except

nial. Just at this point permit me to
digress: the impression is abroad that
our Centennial exhibit was a forced
hot-bed growth. Now, any well-in-
formed Oregonian knows to the con-
trary, and in order that the public mind
East, and particularly our jealous sis
ter, California, may know of truth
whereof we affirm, we would urge the
Importance of superior exhibit to last
year, of all classes, at our approaching
State Fair upon every agriculturist and
horticulturist of Oregon, thereby dem
onstrating to all that we mean it-Ore-
gon against the world-and believing,
as we do, that there never was crisis
in the history of our own fair State
when a more golden opportunity pre-
sented by sending live agent or agents
with samples such as could be easily
obtained the present season back to the
Eastern States, thereby demonstrating
to the world the fact that the exhibit at
the Centennial was not remarkable,
save only to other sections than our
own. Such an exhibition, properly
planned and carried out in connection
with our able and faithful representa-
tion at our next session of Congress,
would, if not effectually secure to US
direct shipping from the East, render
such material aid that one grand and
long-hoped-for event might thereby be
realized in the near future-direct com
munication by rail with the East, and
aid in securing additional appropria-
tions to unlock the Columbia River,
and, in so doing, unite-as now discom-
bined-Eastern and Western Oregon.
AS we bade adieu to our genial host,
we could but conclude that he was mas.
ter of the situation, and well deserving
the honorable reputation be has so en-.
viably obtained among his craft.

PRETTYMAN,S ORCHARDS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
A few days since, arrangements were
made by several leading horticulturists
to accompany the Hon. J. H. Mitchell
to the orchard and nursery of H. Pret-
lyman, but owing to a sudden illness of
our Senator, he was unable to accom-
pany the party, Upon arriving at the
railroad nursery, all agreed as having
never seen any products in that line
that equaled it. Crafts inserted the
past spring, many of which would meas
ure over nine feet in height; the prune
and plum would average over six feet
at present, and in a rapid state of
growth.
Soil, timbered land, cleared, loose,
with gravelly subsoil. (In this connec-
tien allow me to say that he who pur-
chases trees grown on wet, soggy soil,
with stiff clay subsoil, poorly under
stands himself, if the object be to secure
a healthy, long-lived orchard). After
looking and wondering at this nursery,
we were kindly invited by the proprie-
tor to his hospitable residence, where,
together with his better half, we were
most agreeably entertained.
Noting the rapid progress of the
suburbs of East Portland, by way of
beautiful residences, orchards, groves,
lawns, ETC., ETC., within the past five
years, we predict for this beautiful Sec
tion prosperous and bright future.
While feasting on the handsome apples
and plums, Mr.. Dufur, of centennial no.
toriety, held up one of the latter and re-
marked that it would be sacrilege to
mar its beauty, and that the same was
both larger and handsomer than any

The Denver, Colorado, Ne1Os seems to
be thoroughly awake upon the suffrage
question. 1t regularly gives two or
three columns to respectful considera-
ton of the movement, and in late is
sue mentions such leading names as its
advocates as Governor Evans, Mayor
Buckingham, Secretary Clark, Judge
Brommell, and H. G. Dillon to show
that the very best and foremost citizens
are ready to work as well as vote for
the suffrage amendment, and it is be-
lieved that committee can be organ
ized which will not only command the
respect of both parties, but which will
do active and effective work during the
approaching campaign which is about
opening in Colorado. Up to the present
time the adherents of equal suffrage are
about evenly divided between the two
parties, and it is proposed to conduct
the campaign for woman's enfranchise-
ment without political partisanship.

THE WOMAN'S CONGRESS-.

The Woman's Congress meets for the
nth annual session at Cleveland, Ohio,
October 10, II and u Julia Ward Howe
is President, and such a suggestive and
practical list of topics for papers and
discussions is presented as this: Science
The endowment of research; biology;
the germ theory of disease. Literature
Women in literature; women as lin
gusts; Harriet Martineau. Education
Special training for women; business
education for women; training and dress
of children; co-education of the sexes
in medicine. Industries-Women in
agriculture; woman's work in England
and America. Charities-Their direc-
tioG and misdirection; women on boards
of public charities; advantages to wom-
en- OF the less populOus neighborhoods;
the intellectual side of foreign missions;
American women in Christian missions.
Art-As an educator; household art.
Mrs. May, in announcing the Congress,
has shrewd word of warning from the
experience of former years against
squabbling. ''The short hours of our
meetings." she says, "are too precious
to be wasted. Let us use them only to
utter the highest and truest thoughts,
to kindle the purest and most unselfish
emotions, and to diffuse a spirit that
shall make us nobler women, and en-
able US better to perform the work God
has given US to do"
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1877-08-24

doesn't know it. But no sooner would
we do it than she would be sure to say,
"I authorized dear Charlie to write
that letter, and never wanted the pa
per, anyhow. You forced it on me-"
We've seen women tried too often, and
we're wary. We know instinctively
that that letter was written without the
lady's knowledge, and would know it
just as certainly if she should attempt
to claim its authorship through forty
sheets of foolscap as explanation" 1t
is no wonder that women are guilty of
these things. A subjugated class can
never be an honest one. Women must
be financially free ere they can be in a
position to tell the truth at all times
before their husbands and the world.
Here is more 'poetry." We can only
give a specimen:
"a Yet not dispairing but sorrowfuI
the voice of thousands hear,
That's pleading for justice sO'nobly,
Against wrongs of a hundred year.
And very sad, but not upbraiding
Is that noble and generous call,
For equal rights for all and justice,
Or Republeanism must fall"
This sample is selected from sixty odd
lines of the same quality, and, sarcasm
aside, reveals the fundamental ideas of
liberty and justice far more clearly than
many a man can perceive them who
has been blessed with liberal education
and careful culture. We advise our
young friend to make the most of her
few advantages; and though she cannot
now pass the ordeal of public criticism
and appear successfully in cultivated
print, yet dozen years from now may
place her i0 the foremost rank if she
will educate herself.
Here are several official blanks filled
out with postal information:
"Your paper, addressed-so and so,
is not taken out, but remains dead in
this office. Reason, refused; or, reason,
removed"
But stay! Here is a letter with a
postal order aud long list of old re-
newals and new subscribers. Here is
another, and yet another. Their pc
rusal puts us in the happiest of humors,
and we leave this forenoon with con-

credits to our mailing books, with q
good appetite for a steaming dinner.

Oregon should be up and doing in the
matter Of petitions to Congress for the
Sixteenth Amendment. While it is
humiliating enough to make angels
weep, as they doubtless do, to see the
women of America petitioning for a
right which the government under
which they live declares inalienable,
yet the petition keeps up agitation, and
is of great use in showing us who are
our friends. Scarcely a man refuses to
sign the petition when solicited. Keep
the petitions before the people, ye work
ers. Circulate them, and you will be
surprised at the result.
