We have no precise estimates from
Yamhill county for this year, and have
included it in the above calculations,
bet we remember very distinctly that
Hon. NJ. P. Deady, then and now the
able United States District Judge for
Oregon, and at this tirac and for sever.
al years past the President of the Board
of Regents OF the University Of Oregon,
printed in one of the leading newspa-
pers of this State one or more articles,
the main purpose of which was to prove
that the arabic land and grain yield in
YamhiI county was equal to that of
Linn. If this be so We have a grand
total of 7,2S9,lS5 bushels. Bat as
suming this estimate to be too large,
we have no hesitancy in saying that the
yield in Yamhill will be equal to that
of Lane county, and We have a total of
$3.50, $50, and it must be remembered
that this is, approximately, what these
counties nolC yield-not what they viii
yield as soon as increased and cheaper
facilities for transportation shall have
reduced to cultivation in grain the
large tracts OF land in this valley now
lying idle and as yet unfenced. But
the time is rapidly approaching when
all these lands must be cultivated and
must add vastly TO our annual Produc-
ton. What that amount will be we
have no means Of estimating at the
present time, but it must be very
large.
We may be permitted to adj that
farmers and producers of this valley
and of Eastern Oregon as well, regard
with peculiar favor and interest the
proposed Oregon Pacific Railroad, with
which your name and that of Col. Hogs
have been connected. When completed
that road win furnish cheaper and
quicker line Of transportation to mar
ket for the productions of this valley
than either of the present roads or the
Willamette river, or all combined.
We are, with great respect,
Yours most truly.

MISREPRESENTATION coERECrED.

We publish elsewhere statistics of a
committee on the matter of the cereal
products of the Willamette Valley
Those statistics are made up with care
and caution, and are only for the pur-
pose of refuting the 0regoeiaa's at
tempts to belittle the efforts to open
Yaquina Bay and give the Valley a
commercial entrepot whereby we would
not be bottled up by Portland's monop-
olists' schemes. We do not blame the
city of Portland with these assaults
upon our Valleys interests. 1t is only
the transportation monopolists-with
their monopoly organ, the 0re9oaian
that we complain of Those two agen-
cies, with Senator Hirsch's vehement
denuncintions of our claims of pro
duets, undoubtedly defeated the con:-
mon carrier bill, which would have at
least given an even chance for all com.
peting lines of transportation in the
State. But Senator Hirseh is in Port
land, with all his interests, the Orego,
aian's proprietors are in Portland. and
some of them largely interested in rail,
road schemes that center there, and
they have on9 and all used their power
to destroy legitimate effort to open an
avenue of communication and an inter
change of commerce that may pass
through another portion of the State.
This is unfair and unjust, and the
people of the whole Valley, with one
accord, protest against such misreere
sentation to the detriment of their in
terests.
Portland is prosperous and growing
We are glad Of it. There is no jeaI
ousy here in the Valley against tha
city. We all wish it to spread its pro
portions, but we protest against the us,
Of its power in hampering the interest.
of our Valley and in preventing us
from securing just relief from present
burdens.

FRAUD SRW YORK.

The New York Star has information
that the vote in that State will be in
vestigated. It's Washington CORES
pondent of the 9th says that the Irving
Hall, Tammany Hall and State Demo
cratic committees have been diligently
at work, and claim to have made dis
coveries that astound those engaged in
the prosecution of the inquiries into
various kinds of alleged fraud. Among
other things they have found techni-
cal violation of the law, which is pc
nal offense under that statute, the lille
gal preparation of tickets. The intent
of the voter is not denied, but the law
makes certain kinds of tickets only
voted, and opens the peniteftiary door
to persons implicated in preparing them
otherwise.
The National Committee has not yet
taken hold of the matter, but its exec
utiye committee meets in New York on
Friday. At that meeting the reports
from the three other committees now
working the matter up viii be heard.
These committees win request the
National Committee to insist upon the
appointment of Congressional com
mittee of investigation in the New
York election, and make it the very
first business of both Houses at the ap-
proaching session.

ROTTEN sOPHIsTRY.

The Oregoaiaa, Of last Monday said
that the Chinese efill place in our
industrial economy which otherwise
would not be filed at all, /" and then
went on TO argue that it was because
white girls will not work in kitchens.
Why will they not word in kitchens?
Simply because the introduction of
Chinese labor has brought the price
SO low that no white woman or white
man can make livelihood at the
wages given.
The Oregonian's arguments are
those of a sophist who is on safe
grounds, because it is backed by cap
itaI, but those of the Caucasian race
who ask for bread demand that a
stronger argument than that paper
has offered shall be made before the
white workfngrnen of this country
will submit TO the introduction of
this degrading labor.

WuiGs Mash, Esq, Corcaliis.
DEAn Sin During the agitation of
the question of the location Of the pro.
posed Harbor of Refuge on the Oregon
coast, a portion of the undersigned with
other citizens Of Linn county, collated
notwithstanding the amount of wheat
raised in tho Willamette Valley in the
counties Of Linn, Lane, Benton, Mari
on, Polk, Yamhill and Washington, and
and ventured the statement that the
amount of grain produced annually for
export was at least six million of bash
els in those counties.
This estimate having been called in
question by certain iiterested parties,
We have been led to a re-examinetion
of hematter; our estimates arc based
upon the actual yield this season so far
as we have been able to obtain tho ex-
act figures, and upon reasonable and
moderate estimates as to the residue.

DEsiOCRATs:OF.OREGON.

We agree with the Standard that the
Democrats of Oregon should keep in
mind the fact that U. s. Senator is to
be elected two years hence, and full
State ticket. The fight viii be an ear
nest and hard one. The Republicans
will go into the contest disorganized
and fighting among themselves, and all
that is necessary for the Democrats is
to remain united-work together and
keep out all disorganizing and personal
feelings, and Oregon will be placed in
the Democratic file for all future time.
The people had full dose Of a Repub-
lican Legislature, which will last for
several years.

to submit TO tho sight of strangers

were voted TO great corporations, and

The Democratic party Is slill n

fact that they last year elected May

Personal popularity will go long

We are of the opinion that it is the
duty of all good Democrats to stop the
Oregonian. Democrats, why will you
support such a vile paper, when it
abuses and vilifes you from day to day2
Let me say stop it, and that speedily,
and don't you forget it Make up your
minds to take only Democratic papers,
and thereby sustain your own men and
build up your own cause never give
aid to the enemy, but apurn them as
you would poison.
