Commissioner Hayt, in his annual
report, says, concerning Indian pris-

last winter, that they have received "A
very careful training and have been
improved in every respect. He adds,
that Indian civilization j. carried on
ut the Yakima Agency on business
principles. The end and aim of the
service are kept constantly in view:
No time is lost in thcorizing, and
every Indian is put to work TO earn
his own subsistence and work out his
civilization. The 800 Indians now in
the vicinity of the Malheur Agency

should also be sent To Yakima. The

WAIIA WALLA, Nov. 24.-On the
5th inst two Cinnamon were hanged
at Warrcns, mining camp in Idaho.
\ miners cabin had been robbed of
article, of value. soon after, II Chi
naman was found wearing the stolen
property. He and another Chinaman
were arrested and locked up. The
jailor left them safe and went to town.
On his leturn he found the door burst
open and both prisoners gone. Next
morning their lifcless bodies were
found hanging near the old Pioneer
Mill. on slaughterhousc gulch, one
mile from the Jail. The Cinnamon i'll
the camp are much excited and say
now that the wrong men were hung.
The citizens of the camp have always
borne first rate reputation and II Is
supposed that the deed must have been
committed by new comers.

The diphtheria, which for several
years has made great ravages in Rus
sia, seems to be gaining more and
more ground. The disease, say the
NOr0c Ircmy0, has attained such
frightful proportions in some regions
that the percentage of mortality far
exceeds that of births. In the small
district of Mirgorod, where the epi-
demic has been raging since 1873,
there were Al died from the disease in
1876, and in 1877 there died 1905 per-
sons. In Odessa, since May last, diph-
liberia has snatched away rs per cent.
of children, and in Stavropool. in the
course of four months, onehalf of the
infant population fell victims to the
disease. In KisheneH, and in the
vicinity of Kifi' and Potava, the epi-
demic has been raging for the last two
years without interruption. In the
village of kaploonofka, in the govern
ment of Kharkotf, 80 children died in
two weeks. In the hamlet of Mako
mobka more than POO infants have
been carried away by the disease since
January last. In addition large
number of adults have also died from
the epidemic.

The Washington Territory Legisla-
tive memorial, says an exchange, ask
ing Congress for an appropriation of
money to complete the Cascade canal
describes the country bordering on the
Columbia river, and its possible future
traffic as follows: And we would futher
represent that there is, in the six
counties in Eastern Washington, 39S
acres One-fOurth of this area in
wheat, at 20 bushels per acre, would
give n product of Is, S49, 500 bushels or
Eastern Oregon have 1916 surveyed
townships equal to HOG, $40 acres. One
fourth of this area i'm wheat at 20 BUSH
els per acre, would produce 50, 4s3, 200
bushels or 2,247, ,405 tons. Bearing
in mind that there is Il large amount
of unsurvcycd land in the said basin
of the upper Columbia river, it is inn
possible to estimate with any degree
of certainty the grand aggregate of
this vast country of unsurpassed pro-
ductive capacity. The transportation
of such products will require 9,625
steamboats,, each carrying 400 tons,
to convey it down the river. The
estimate is only for tonnage one way.
The imports to the interior of lumber,
coal, iron and merchandise of all
kinds would equal in value, if not in
weight or measure, the exports.
These figures reveal the productive
power of the upper Columbia basin
and the Importance of the Columbia
river itself as highway of commerce.
\ Seattle correspondent gives the
following resume of crops and sales for
the present season:
Country produce is coming in slowly.
With the exception of oats hay and
wheat, crops are considerably shorter
than last year. The oat crop is one
third heavier than heretofore, but the
condition of the market is less favora-
BILE. Last season the crop was mostly
bought up at from 10 to - cents per
buShcl. This year it is being shipped
generally on growers account, while
but 30 and 81 cents are obtaining. The
wheat crop is more than double that
of last year, while prices arcfar better.
Two hundred tons were shipped from
here to san Francisco per steamer
Chili0 on her last trip. The onion crop
is only about one-half of last years
product, while prices range from to
! cents per pound as compared with l.
and l2I cents last year. Last fall 1900
bushels of these roots were shipped
from here to san Francisco, while this
season so far no shipments of onions
have been made from here, with no
prospect of any being made. The po-
tatoe crop on an average is at least

The Columbia River Railroad.

Some weeks ago it was announced
that Mr.. Henry Willard had purchased
in Europe five thousand tons of steel
rails to be shipped to Oregon. At
that time it was not definitely known
where the rails would be laid, but the
purchase was made with view to
getting them here by the time plans
should be matured, surveys completed
and other preparations made. 1t has
now been determined to build road
from Cello to Wa,lula during the
coming year, and to have it fully COM
pletcd in time for next falls business.
With this view further purchase has
been made of twenty-five hundred
tons of rails, and the whole will be
shipped from Cardiff, Wales, in the
following order: Nov. -, 1900 tons;
Dec. Is, 1000 tons; Jan. l5, 2250 tons;
Feb. Is, 1900 tons, and April Is, 1850
tons-in all rails enough for $50 miles
of road. Vessels carrying these rails
should begin to arrive in April next.
In anticipation of their arrival the
line of road will be located, grading
will he pushed, and ties and timber
will be got in readiness, so that track
laying may begin a. early as May
next. Proposals are requested for
furnishing ties and bridge timber.
There is no doubt whatever that the
road will be built, as above stated.

NATIONAL DRY ROT.

HENRY WARD BEECHER ON THE LACK OF
PUBLIC NsCIENCE-RETURNING BOARDS
AND THE CuINEsE-THE STATE SMOKING
LIKE soDoM AND GOMORRAH.
The New York Herald gives place TO
Henry Ward Beechers recent sensational
sermon. We reproduce the salient points
of it:
The text OF the sermon was Isaiah xiv,
15. The prophets, Mr.. Beccher said, were
the statesmen OF Israel and although they
declared IN exalted morality for the con-
duct Of individuals and the government of
the household, they especially had resting
upon their conscenceS the welfare Of the
state have already IN a previous sermon
spoken oi the formation Of IA national con
science but yOu are not to cOniuund this
with corporate conscience. Where any
body of people is banded together with
certain euds IN view, agreeing that the de-
cisions Of the majority shall rule, it posses
SEES o corporate conscience.
nINDERANCEs TO NATIONAL EQUITY,
The acts OF a nation are bound to he just
and right. Ali national politics should not
alone be founded upoa substantial wisdom
butupon equity as well. A conscience
should be formed which would maintain
the national honor. We had no king and
uo ruling class. On the people rested the
responsibility. But there were many him
derances in the way of the exercise Of
conscience by which Christian equity could
enforce itself The great class of the UNI
educated had no public conscience. When
there were men uninstructcd holding the
magistracy, the law and the policy OF the
country in their hands, they could not be
expected to rise higher than the the plane
of uneducated morality. Ignorance must
be purged out Of the nation before the con-
sciences Of its officers would be other than
uniformed and lowtoned. If these ignorant
consciences, which are in the majority,
could never be consolidated, woe unto us
as anation,
The low state Of the public conscience
was due in great measure to those members
of society who did not make it any part OF
their civic and personal duty to look after
the welfare of the whole community con
tinuously The effect bad largely been that
the management of affairs was thrown down
to the ignorant VINO were manipulated ny
intelligent men without ScrupIeS OF moral
ATTY The value OF suffrage decrea'H as me"
nse IN wealth and position Inc tendency
OF our civilization was to carry Ms away
from the conscience OF the vote TN th'
other hand, men who have no property Oh
personal influence value the vote as a pre-
rogative, There seemed to have cone over
the nation determination to remit al
public questions to parties. Party grounds
seldom admitted Of the question Of right
or wrong 1t was no longer 4 moral ques-
ton in thclr hands, but simply Il shutter
