The restless Jeslre for change which
seoms to accompany Western life Is
in danger Of misleading many to
their disadvantage. We have seen
the announcement frequently Of late,
that farmers IN varions portions of
our valley are afflicted with tho
"Palouse fever" and that young men
arc waiting the advance of spring in
order to start for Skagit. Now, In
the first instance, II Is well known
fact that there Is large area OF
farming lands IN the counties Of mid.
die Oregon capable OF producing i'm
nensely, which have never yet been
titled. In all the advantages Of civ
illzation, home comforts, social mat.
ters and educational privileges, this
valley Is years In advance OF the
great Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton region, which however rich In
possibilities Is still In q shifting state
OF newness that can only be enjoyed
when the conditions that It brings or
promises are vastly superior TO those
left behind. In such migration
these conditions will not prevail.
The land is no moro productive, the
climate no milder, and the market
facilities are not nearly equal 10 those
in this valley. Therefore the chances
bear strongly toward a certainty that
farmers making the change OF loca-
tlon at this time will do so TO their
disadvantage. As TO the mining ex-
cltement which threatens to divert
many from agricultural pursuits and
mechanical employment, experience
teaches that II Is, in the main, but an
unreal and tantallzIng shadow, the
following Of which ends in disappoint-
ment. The pursuit OF such vain
shadows has retarded the develop.
ment Of the country greatly in years
past. Statistics prove that n very
small proportion Of those who fjrsakC
steady, though perhaps slow business
TO engage in doubtful mining enter
prises return a3 well-to-do as wheI
they LEFT, and II TO this fact Is added
the loss OF time, the wear upon thG
constitution by mental strain and
physical exposure, and the restless
discomfort which tho venture begets
the evil Is greatly magnitied and tell
largely upon the general prosperity
of the country.
Never in the history Of Oregon hai
the opportunity to make home labo
pay been 50 great as Is promised th'
present season. Every Incentive i
given for putting In large crops ant
clearing lands; facilities FOR gcttini
grain TO market are increasing, ant
will In the future be adequate TO tin
needs Of producers. The foreign de
mand for our surplas, will, even IL
the event OF good crops in Europe, b
large, and our home needs increasI
with our augmenting population
Those who remain at home, industri
ously pursue their accustomed avoca
tons and plan for the future, ar
they who will be comfortably situate'
when the unsuccessful gold secke
brings HIS disappointment home I

avs SUPPLIES TnEM.

Il seems that Linn county talent Is
constantly increasing in demand. We
have ofIice-holders and candidates scat
tered promiScuouSly throughout the va
rious counties Of the State. In Una
tilla county We have Senator Penning-
ton and Sheriff Sperry (the latter just
renominated), both former farmers Of
Linn. In Wasco we have on tho Dem
ocratic ticket two former Linn coun-
tians-J. b. Lafollett for Representa-
tive and G. A. Hill for Sheriff; also
in Benton there are two now on the
Democratic ticket-Allen Parker for
Representative and Jno. T. Hughes for
Clerk. Senator George, Of Multnomah,
is also Linn county production.
These are all frst-class men, and we
congratulate them on the just apprecia.
ton in which they are held in their va.
rious communities.
Verify, it seems that Old Linn Is
destined to be to the counties Of Ore

GRAND DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION
MEETING!

Last night, after the adjournment
of the Convention, and just as we
had almost got our paper TO press, the
band played, the. Court House was
ablaze with light, and vast crowd
of people-both ladies and gentlemen
assembled for the purpose of ratify-
ing the Democratic nominations. We
have neither time no- space to give
naines Of speakers or remarks that
weFe made. The Court House re-
scuaded with an almost continuous
round Of applause throughout the
evening, and the meeting closed with
terrific cheers for the WHOLE TICKET.

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION ~ NEW
YORK.

The New York Erening Post is a
Republican organ, but it does not favor
third term. Still, it will doubtless
vote for Grant sooner than for any
Democrat. Concerning the Democratic
situation in New York, it remarks: sIr
is true that the Robinson men held
their ground last year and that the
Kelly men fully executed their threats.
Bat State election and a Presidential
election are two different things. Poll
ticians will mediate long and intrigue
industrionsly before they throw away a
light which may decide which party
shall control the Federal Administra-
tion for nearly generation to come.
Nobody need be surprised if such a
compromise is effected that Tammany
and anti.Tammany shall work harmo-
niously next summer and go to the
polls arm in arm next November. On
the contrary it viii be surprising if this
does not happen

A FRIGHTENED CANDIDATE.

One Republican candidate on the
Linn Legislative ticket came in from
his farm last Wednesday, and of course
being narrow contracted had not read
Democratic papers and didn't know that
the unterrifed of the State were to as
semble in Albany that day. However,
he loafed up to the court honse, saw
the crowd, ascertained nothing about
them save that they were all Democrats,
and no rushed wildly and furiously
down town to find Republican, and es
soon as he found one be plucked him
hastily aside and told him that he was
going to resign from that ticket On
being asked why he answered that
'there wasn't no use to run-d-d ii
