pRINTERS' 6TRIKE.

SAN Francisco, July 30.--Thirty-
two printers, members of the typograph-
ical union, struck work this evening in
the Cal printing office. They insisted
that the ten other printers employed, who
were non-union men, be discharged. This
the proprietor of the Cali refused to do,
claiming that in the management Of his
property he had the right to employ
whomsoever he saw fit. Thereupon the
thirty-two unionists walked out 1t il
stated that they made the selection Of this
evening Monday for advancing theii
demand believing that, as the Call sup
ploment is made up this evening, the pro-
prietor would be embarrassed and be
obliged to accede to their demand. In
this they were deceived, being informed
that their services were not indispensable.
The places OF the majority of the strikers
were immediately replaced by non-uuion
mon, and 1T the present moment there
are twenty,six printers at work.

And weighing for the operator,
At the very same machine.

Taking himself wife,
And bringing her to his mothers house
And making her sad for liiel;
Saying MY darling you must do

But it takes all sorts to make world
Then let us all beware.

TEE OREGON SHORT LINE.

PORTLAND, July %, 1888.
To the editor of ths Oregonan:
The writer was last night informed by
Mr.. Burnham Huntington, on whose
ranch in the Burnt River canyon is to be
the junction Of the 0. r. & N. Co. and
Oregon Short Line railways, that the
grade of the latter company is already
completed to the cast bank of Snake river
opposite, OF nearly 50, point whore
Burnt river flows into the Snake, and
that the materials for all the necessary
bridges are about ready for placing III
position. The line crosses to the west bank
Of the Snake into the State of Oregon.
Immediately north of the Boise river, and
following the suake in a northcrly direc-
tion, crosses the Malheur river, re-crosses
tAo Snake to Idal.o south Of Birch
creek, and for the fourth time, including
the bridge near shoshone Falls, spans the
Snake at the point mentioned before, and
following up Bunt river for the distance
Of about three miles reaches the agreed
point Of junction with the @, r. & N.
Go. at Huntington.
Last summer while the writer was in
the East he was invited by Mr. s. II. II.
Clarke, the general manager Of the Union
Pacific railroad, to meet Mr.. Sidney Dill
lion and slr, Clarke at an appointed time
at the Office Of the Union Pacific railroad
in New York city.
At that meeting it was cndoayorcd to
be shown TO Messrs. Dillon and Clarke
that a feasible route for Il railway could
be found by following up the Malheur
river and traversing Southeastern Oregon
north of Lake iIarney, cross the Cascade
mountains through either the Willamette
river pass or the Mackenzie pass into the
willamette valley, and thence north to
Portland Typographical maps, engineers
reports 90 parts of the route, and other
reliable data were exhibited to them tend
ing to show that such line, so far as en-
gineering obstacles occur, is practicable
and that its construction would give the
Short Line the entire control of South
eastern Oregon, country capable Of vast
agricultural possibilities, 50 soon as trans
portation facilities shall be supplied; would
drain the Willamette valley business
measurably eastward over his road; afford
by connection with the California and
Oregon line now being constructed from
Redding north, much better rail COM
between the mining regions
Of Idaho and san Francisco than is now
had Via. either kelton or Winnemucca;
and reaching Portland would meet for
the first time substantial competition from
the Willard system Of roads. 1t was also |
in case Mr. Dillon should desire
to extend his road to Puget Sound an

Of Budds inlet skirting the west shore
Of the Sound to Port Townsend, where
he would find harbors New York dunli- |

corresponding to the Hudson and Port /
Townsend bay on the east answering for

every vessel destined for either of the
several terinini of the Northern Pacific
would necessarily sail by his docks and
every one for the Canadian Pacific term
mus, wherever it may be, would pass
within sight.

Large and Small Fruits.

1t is general impression among fruit grow
ers, and to a certain extent a correct one
that the public demand is for large fruit
especially pears. But there is also demand
for smaller fruits for the supply of the hotels
and restaurants in our large cities, and at the
fashionable watering places
The reason for this, as explained to us by one
of the moet fashionable hotels iR New York
City, is that they are much more economical to
them, even if they pay US as much for them
per basket-as they do for the large fruit. He
said that at the desert after dinner, a lady or
gentleman would take perhaps peach, plum,
few grapes, slice Of melon, or some one or
two of them, and if they saw large Bartletts or
similar sized pears on the table, would take one
cut quarter and cat it, leaving the remaining
three quarters on the plate, as they did not wish
to make their whole desert on pear. From one
half to three quarters OF the finest large pears
the market afforded thus went down to the ser
wants hall, a rather expensive way OF feeding
them. He said that he was always glad when
Seckle pears came in, as it saved him from
much of this loss. But everybody does not like
the spicy, cOying, honied flavor of the Seckle so
tain any but large sized fruit. What was needed
was pears the size of a we'll grown Seckle or
White Deyenne; snowy in appearance, bright
eolored and OF fairly good flavor Such varieties
as the Bloodgood, Buffam, Dearborn's Seeding. /
Fondante d'Automne and Tyson among summer
pears were what be wanted, and similar ones
among the autumn varieties. Il was also so |
with apples hut as they could be had so much /
cheaper than pears, the waste was not of so
much importance. Large fruit is always in de-
mand for families, where one can be divided be-
tween two or three, and also for office lunches
among merchants, bankers IbrOkerS. etc. New
ertheless We would advise those who grow ap-
pies and pears to plant some of the snowy, small
er fruited varieties, as they will find as sure and
remunerative market for them, as they would
or the larger fruited sorts.

| Hence, when you see farm Over-TuR with meaI

| Seriously, this weed culture gives a very un.
favorable impression to persons visiting the State.
Taking the railroad south from Wilmington. it
passes through as pretty section Of farming
country as is to be found in the United States.
The farms are clean, well kept we'll fenced, the
farm houses and steadngs neat and comfortable,
and pleasing suggestion OF general thriitiness
comes to one. But when we reach Harrington
or at any rate soon after we get south of Milford,
the whole scene changes, and goes from bad to
worse as we 60 southwark. Hundreds Of acres

that under any decent management will yield
remaneratve crops. Why is II? Can it be that
the miserable system Of tenant farming has so
eaten but the lie and energy of this class of
farmers, that they have no pride in their busi-
ness, and have be come careless and istleSS. We
suspect it is considerably so; il that is the case,
the large land holders are to blame for it, and
not the farmer.
Itisa sound maxim of law; "that a man must
so use his property as not to inure his neighbor."
In accordance with this, several States have laws
railroad companies and farmers to
destroy certain weeds-Canada thistle for exam
ple-that may grow on their roadways, and
farms. In late decision in New York State, |
strifty farmer who kept his farm clean of weeds, !
sued his adjoining neighbor, careless farmer /

weeds did not cover the case, yet he won 1t un.
Ter the above common law maxim. The wild
arrot was adiudged a nuisance, and as a NUS.
nee could be abated. If such is the common
aw in Delaware, how some large land-holder in
