The PrOdnctIseness Of Oregon.

The soil here is wonderfully rich
and productive, and produces wheat,
oats, barley flax, peas, beans, vege-
tables of all sorts and staple fruits
in their most perfect form. Salem
flour has long commanded the high
est price in the Liverpool market,
and now Salem apples, green and
evaporated, pears and prunes sell
for more than the product of any
other part of the United States
in Chicago. st. Paul buys our "big
red apples" and luscious prunes.
The yield of both these fruits-long
since accorded the post of "staples"
in all markets, has been enormous
this year, and a sight of an average
Oregon orchard would make the
eyes of michigan apple grower"
or Eastern prune producer turn
green with envy. Prunes set out in
good land and well cultivated will
begin bearing in at least five years,
that is, so one can call the bearing a
crop. To plant them will cost, say
an acre of ground, $50; l55 trees
(the average number set to an acre.,
S23.25; plOwing the ground and
planting the trees $3.50; total cost
(originaD per acre to plant prunes,
$sO.75, including cost of the land.
Cultivation for five years may be $50
or 500. One prune orchardist's
eight acres will pay him from $500
to 5000 this, their fifth year.

They are to cost S1 900 each and will be

HORACE GREELEY's best political work

published at Albany, and Greeley was

IT is STATED in Richmond that Richard

AT THE PLAY.

A pretty comedy of love tonight,
Ana gu the house is gay with flowers and
light.
There Is hint Of passion I'm the plot.
OF love that's lightly won, and soon forgot
An old, old play.
lhlt ah my lady, though you sit and smile
STE your eyes steal, d9rk ming an the while,
To Where brown head bends above gold
With all the grace II bent DER yours, of old,
ss.a--sl Nheh at tue pay
The scene goes on, with musiG and the dance,
But still she marks, with sidelong, iurtlye
How fenderiy he bends him down, TO say
some earnest words, In just the sweet old
way
II is the play.
Her leart-beats stir the m my fall OF lace;
She lifts her fan athwart her palug face,
And turns 10 answer merry lest with lest,
With al the while strange weight on her
a bitter play
The curtain falls; the comedy Is done;
The music fades; the lights die, one by one;
My lady sees with what protecting care
Do strong hands wrap slight form from the
air
After the play.
within her weary eyes dun Are barns;
Yet smiles she still as TO her friend She
turns;
And why her lips are white he cannot guess,
Nor why her small hands tremhle sJ-unless
Too long the play.

TO say
Washington seems to be the most appropri.
ate site for an exposition devoted to the re-
sources and industries of North, South and
Central America. There Is no rea-
son to doubt that under proper management
II would attract as much attention and inter
est as the Centennial Exhibition. The exhi.
biton 81 1876 gave Americans n great ropu-
tation for talent In organizing and managing
a worlds fair. II au exposition of similar
magnitude be attempted in 1902 the general
plan cannot be matured too speedily. The
trustees ought to be appointed this year, II
any measures are TO be taken by which the
| United states will take the initiative IN cele.
| brating the arrival Of Columbus In the New
! World.
The proposed exposition would have a ben.
! efcial influence in bringing the United States
into closer relations with the South American
States, whose commerce and trade are eagerly
| sought after by every maritime nation In Eu-
rope. 10 might be the means offacilitatlng
the establishment Of steam transit between
New York and the Southern Republics, the
restoration of the American flag TO the seas,
and the development of continental traffic.
II would certainly add important industrial
and historical collections to those already
accumulated at Washington, and would has

THERE ARE TO BE few more set celS
brations of the Fourth of July in tn 4
Country--that is, of the old-fashioneh
sort that our fathers and grandfathebs
looked upon as having the nature of a
solemn and patriotic duty.
Since the signing of the immortal
Declaration of Independence, too
many new and startling episodes have
intcrvened, of which the recollection
is still vivid, and in which the in
terest is comparatively fresh and all
sorbing.
Memorial days, Decoration days
and Gettysburg days have taken the
place, in great measure, of Bunker
Hill, Bennington, and Independence
days.
The latter commemorated initial
events in the establishment Of civil
liberty on the Western Continent
the former mark the birth Of new
era in the growth of republican insti.
tutions.
The freedom for which the first war
Of the Revolution was fought was net
fully consummated until Abraham
Lincoln rose to proclaim it,
The Republic which followed thu
Confederation had to pass through tho
ordeal of a second War of Revolutioi,
to reach its proper symmetry anQ
unification.
To the anniversaries with which
this later history of the Republic il
dotted, the present generation, tot |
gether with the immediate survivort
of its great historic incidents, natu
rally turn with more patriotic fervot
for holiday observance. Not that
their reverence for remoter past OF
the statesmen and heroes who made
that past illustripus, has faded OF,
...--.Axs.-,-.-- - -
grown dim.
The country showed what it thought
of 1916 and the long struggle that fol-
lowed, when it sprang TO arms in 1861
and fought five years, not to undo the
work of its revolutionary sires, but to
settle points of political controversy
that had never been. settled before
and to clear the pathway of Republi-
can progress of its still perilous OBJ
structions.
In the general indisposition of the
people, therefore, to make an old
time ado over each recurring ami
versary of the Declaration, let moi
our older citizens lose heart or faith
So far as the principles are involved
which that modern Magma Charter
enunciated, there is to-day more one
ness of heart and faith among the
people of the United States than evei
before.
The late civil war, as remarked by
an orator at Gettysburg the other
day, denotes the heroic age of the
Republic; but it was the heroism Of
combined physical and moral forces,
that, having adjusted their points OF
contention, rose stronger than ever
from the conflict, and, in the spirit OF
a broad fraternity, inaugurated anew
the work that was left incomplete at
Yorktown-and of which even the
Federal Constitution, as originally
adopted, fell short of being the per-
lection.

The LENGTH OF time which the Ju-
dietary Committee of the Senate held
back the nomination of Mr.. Fuller as
Chief Justice of the United States su-
preme Court and finally reporting it
without any recommendation causes
much unfavorable comment in politi-
cal and legal circles.
The characteristics of human ma
turc are strikingly prominent in the
strong individualities Of the members
of the Supreme Court, and this fact
taken in connection with the Judi
ciary Committees delay and final
half-hearted submission of Mr.. Full

urally suggest attention TO the course
of the new Chief Justice in cases Of
legal doubt in which Senator Ed
