The FAR WEST.
Still finding something new.

After returning from our northern
trip we go into Eastern Oregon, and
find that most Of the farmers are
through harvesting their crops. The
grain rolls into the markets with a lit
tie better price than we have had for
two years,:which is 81 cents bushel.
The following is a true story, and
it will cost you nothing to believe it.
On the farm of Mr.. James P. Nc
MINI, FIVE miles southwest of Walla,
walla, and just over the line of W. I.
into Oregon, we find % acres in vege>
tables. 81 acres in onions, averaging
80 tons to the acre; clearing above all
expenses 5000. A fine crop of cab
bage, average 10 tons to the acre. l
saw the tomato vine he picked 100 lbs
from. Off of one acre he picked &c.
228 Tbs. He tells me that in 1884 on
one acre he gathered and sold $4O3
worth OF onions. Mr.. Nc. came from
Missouri six years ago $13 worse of
than nothing. Since that time he
has paid for him farm that to-day
can't be bought for $4,000. This
shows what man of energy can do in
this beautiful country.
l will give some of the statistics as
l have them collected from different
counties, 1t being too tedious to take
them all, but will show the richest
and poorest of them all, and the read
er can average the rest. Since 1880
the population has increased from
75,116 to 1870, 465-the smallest
population of the 13 counties being
only 376, which is Adlans. Pierce
county has II $50, that being the
greatest. Whitman ranks oecon1,
1900. Adams county is assessed
at $3.50, 420, Pierce S., 342, 1888, Whit

the amount of territorial tax for the
present year is S125,704.92. We
could give all the counties in rotation,
but don't like to use space in such d
valuable paper where there may be
something of more Importance put in
If should fill the whole paper with
my scribbling, where would get my
news from?
While | was on one of the peaks Of

ton which | will withhold for the

home could have only stood with me
and looked over the millions of acres
and saw the beautiful homes of the
thousands of families, a vision woulC
have come to them all. Yes, as | SCI
this country, others would see it very
differently. We all haven't The same

Talk may satisfy tho ambition of poll
ticians, but tho business community,
which is suffering from the evils of over
production, demands action on tho pend.
ing Mexican treaty.
During the past seven years resolution
after resolution was introduced in the
house and senate providing for treaty ne.
gotiations between the two sister repub-
lies.
After careful deliberation n reciprocity
treaty was agreed upon by the represen-
tativos of the two countries which was,
more than year ago. duly ratified by the
senate of each. Since then it has been
suspended between heaven and earth
awaiting tho necessary legislation to carry
it into effect.
In the meanwhile the popular demand
for new markets for our surplus manu-.
factures has resulted in the appointment
of special commission to ascertain how
our trade can best be extended in the
several states of Central and South
America. Tho administration, in ro-
cognitiou Of this evident wish Of tho
people, has negotiated other treaties with
/ the countries of Spanish America. The
national platforms of the two rival politi.
cal parties further reflect public sonti-
ment by resolutions in favor Of more
extended commercial relations with the
countries of this continent. Spanish
America is, indeed, n popular subject,
and its long neglected markets oHror the
only true solution of the industrial prob
lem so vitality important to tho manufac'
turers Of tho United States.
But the house of representatives secm
both deaf and blind to che appeals of Its
constituents by its inaction on the Mexican
treaty, which tho wants of the people
first called into existence. This disgrace
full delay ia not only injurious to our owl
citizens, but discourteouS to a friendy J
sister republic which bids us welcome t,
her territory with our railways, com
merce, and surplus energies. England
France, and Germany have reason t,
laugh at our stupidity in this respect
and will also profit by 1t at our expense
The house of representatives should n
longer triho with this important matter
but promptly decide whether tho Mexi
can trade is, or is not, an acquisition
worth having.

Mr.. TURNER, of Georgia, did bit of
good service to the country on Saturday,
when by his sedge-h hammer attack on the
Hennepin canal section of the river and
harbor bill he compelled tho promoters of
-the scheme to expose their hand COM
pietely. 1t was shown that they. after
getting bill reported and placed upon
the calendar from the committee on rail-
ways and canals, which properly has
jurisdiction of the subject, had by
species of parliamentary legerdemain
succeeded in saddling the project upon
the river and hsrbor bill also through the
plant disposition of committee that has
no jurisdiction. What business COM
mittee that by right deals solely with i'm
provements of rivers ana harbors has to
appropriate money for a canal is not easy
of explanation. The Hennepin canal
project is one that should be dealt
with by itself, SO that it could
stand or fall upon its merits.
Unfortunately it is one OF the class of
schemes whose best chance for success lies
in incorporation into an appropriation
bill chock full of "log-rolling" and
"trading" opportunities. Standing alone
its friends know that it possesses scan t
chance of success But as it was clearly
shown thanks to Mr., Turner, that it had
been put into the river and harbor bill
in violation of the rule which forbids the
incorporation into appropriation bills oil
tho subject matter of bills pending
upon the calendar, it will be strange if
N obnoxious, section is not knocked out
