NATIONAL CITY, Cal, June Is, 1885.
: DEAR TRANSCRIPT We are still hav-
ing continuous fine weather with pros
pect of a full supply. To one from the
green fields of Minnesota, this would
probably look like a dry and barren coun-
try, bat from what saw last week in a
short trip upth country could not think
there was much danger this season of 4
failure. While this is not claimed to be
grain or vegetable-pro country.
saw many fields Of grain and corn, and
any amount OF as line potatoes as can be
produced in Minnesota, and much of the
corn and potatoes on land that was never
cultivated until this season, and all with
out any irrigation; but for winter sup
ply of vegetables irrigation must be re-
sorted to. There are large numbers COM
ing into this country and locating. Uncle
Sans land will soon be done away with.
The fruit crop is good, with the exception
of peaches, which will be light. Oranges
are nearly out, but the lemon is con-
slant bearer, and is producing abundant
ly. The apricot is just coming into
market, and is really fine fruit. There
has been quite show of business at the
wharf this week. Several vessels dis
charging cargoes, all for the use of the
r. r., which is being pushed to the front
The business outlook seems good. There
is lumber business located here for ship
ing of lumber into the interior. The
lumber is said to be now on the way.
Our part of the business will be shipping
of redwood lumber to the east. Several
carloads to 60 every week. Have seen
number of Mower county people here
lately, the last arrival being Rev. H. j.
Haak, German minister from Waltham.
L I,
one drug store, one general merchandise
and one grocery store, first class hotel,
two saloons, one restaurant, and nice
little candy mandatory, with lots of
vacant stores, to be filled soon if expect
atoms are realized. Also one good
church, fine school house, and several
literary societies so almost all can be suit
ed, be their opinions what they may.

n sneaking of Mr.. Biermann's aDDOir

In speaking of Mr.. Biermann's appoint
ment as Internal Revenue Collector, the
Albert Lea Standard says:
His salary will be So. 1875 yearly, and he
is allowed clerk hire besides. He has the
of seven deputies whose
salaries range from $500 to 81, $50 per an
mum. 1t will thus be seen that the Office
is one of the most important in this state
at the disposal of the President, and it
plainly indicates that President Cleve-
land recognizes not only the value of Mr..
Biermann's services to the Democratic
party, but also that he proposes to cult
vate still further the good will of the Nor
wegian voters of Minnesota. This is
good political strategy, and it is char
acteristic of President Cleveland, who is
demonstrating that he is very long
headed politician.

The city was not as extensively decorat

people witnessed the parade. As we marched
in the ranks of the Minnesota delegation, can
not give much idea of the general appearance
Of the procession.
At the head of the Minnesota column was q
large, live eagle, carried in a huge shield by
two of our men. The Portland papers avow
the eagle winked at all the ladies along the
line of march, taking his cue from the men,
but think the eagle acted on his own respon-
sibliity. ANY way the ''Son of Old Abe" as
the boys called him, had regular ovation all
the way through. The reception given the
Grand Army, as it marched, was very hearty.
especially to the western men. One lady came
down onto the sidewalk from the porch. and
cheered the Minnesota boys. She was loudly
cheered in return. Another lady, seeing some
relative, it is supposed, in the line, ran into
the street and kissed him. He was the only
one that felt like cheering.
There were many fine notices compliment
tary to the G. A. R., which brought out hearty
cheers. One was little funny, and was loud
" cheered, I'VE 'Uns greet You 'Uns." A
thousand pleasing features might be mention
ed, as the singing of the school girls, and the
cheering by the cadets, but time and space
forbid. At the conclusion of the review the
boys rallied on Gen. Logan, and cheered until
he gave them q speech. 1t was conceded by
the press that Tuesday was the greatest day
Portland had ever seen. In the evening, q
grand welcome was given to the boys in blue
at City Han. Eloquent speeches were made
by Gen. Logan, Ex.Gov. Fairchild Of wiscon-
sin, SlOcum, and others.
To-day the boys are scattering everywhere
in search of entertain ment.
Nothing else could more deeply move the
hearts of the people and excite 90 gene
raj an interest as one of these annual meet
inGs of the veterans. No multitude could
possibly be more representative Of Ill sections
Of the country than the hosts which
pour their endless columns through
the streets on an occasion like this. To par
ticipate in, or even look upon one Of these
scenes is privilege of no small degree.

Newspapers, as general thing, do not sell so

The steady-goer are the successful advertisers.
They build up great businesses by keeping
themselves before the public summer and

AMONG many measures for increasing the in
huence of the central government in the domes-
tic and social affairs of the people, we notice two
bills introduced in the Senate for establishing
postal telegraphy, a report really favorng the
regulation of railroads by a central commission,
and two bills for granting aid to common schools.
All these bills are to greater or less extent in
direct conflict not merely to the Constitution
and the traditions OF our fathers, but, as we be-
lieve. in open violation of the principles which
can insure perpetuity to free institutions. These
movements all warn US of the advance of the
new slavery, when individual wishes and plans
are to be ignored, and the governmental COM
mands are to control in all the important affairs
of life. Louisville Courier Journal
