Ir is only a question of time, and
short time at that, until the waters of
Hood river are brought ia ditch down
through the valley for irrlgating pur-
poses, While most fruit does well
enough, there is no doubt thatirrigating
would add largely to the yields. 1t
would be OF immense benefit in bringing
the whole valley into cultivation, as
with plenty Of water big crops of alfalfa
could be grown, the soil being particu-
larly adapted for its growth. Three
crops would be grown, and the yearly
yield per acre would be from six to ten
tons. When the valley is all under cul-
tivation, which it will be in a few years
it will be one of the most beautiful
places in the world. The fruit farms
will be Of from ten to 100 acres in extent
and with alfalfa growing where now the
pines and oaks have possession, it will
be the finest dairy country on the coast.
There is no reason why the Hood river
valley should not produce, besides vast
quantities of fruit, enough butter to sup
ply the state, or at least to stop the i'm
portation OF the article from Iowa anC

Walter scott,s Pluck.

Illness and intense bodily pain could
no more deter Walter Scott from writ
ing than could travel or pleasure.
The greater part both of "Ivanhoe"
and "The Bride Of Lammermoor" was
dictated, and in its composition was
punctuated by the groans Of the suffer
ing author. When the amanuensis,
Laidlaw, besought him TO spare him
self, Scott replied, NAY, Willie, only
see hat the doors are fast; | would
fain keep all the cry as well as all the
wool 10 ourselves; but as 10 giving
over work, that can only be done
when ! am in WOODEN" Here, too, Is
again displayed that tender considera-
ton for the comfort Of Others which
built the little stairway at Abbotsford
so that he might not disturb the rest
Of any Of the household when he
should happen 10 linger late at night
over his work. These excruciating
pains which, as he said one time, set
him roaring like a bull calf" had a
curious effect; for when ''The Bride
OF Lammermoor' was put into his
hands in its complete shape, the only
recollection he had Of It's contents was
OF the incidents in the original story
with which he had been familiar from
childhood. And when he now read
his own creation IL was with no moro
knowledge Of what he had written
than il the novel had been the work OF
some one else; indeed, while reading
il he was in constant fear that every
leaf he turned might reveal some in
consistency or absurdity. -Scribner's

REINFORCEMENT.

A JOINT committe of the house and SEN
ate has been appointed for the purpose
of reapportioning the state forlegislative
purposes. That bill will be evolved
which shall give such universal satisfac-
ton as to commend it to both branches
of the legislature so that it shall become
law is by no means certain. The num-
Der of districts will not be materially
changed nor should they be. Both
branches are large enough as they are.
New York with more than five millions
of people has but thirty-two senators and
one hundred and twenty eight members
Minnesota with one-tourth the popula-
ton, has a dozen more more senator's
and about twenty-five less members.
Northern Minnesota and the great
cities have increased in population much
faster than the southern part OF the state
since the last apportionment, which was
made in 1882. AS result the south VIII
loose and the north and the cities gain,
and right here is where the fatal trouble
IS liable to occur. A selfish desire to re-
tain the preponderance of representation
may he stronger with the southern
members than their sense of justice. Let
il be hoped that such is not the case. In
the reconsideration Stearns county will
doubtless lose one representative, bat for
ali that there is no disposition toprevent
he consunaticn OF an act OF justice so
apparent as reapportionment.

THE OLD CONSTITUTION.

THE present constitution of the state
of Minnesota has done service ever since
its admission into the Union, save that
it has been tinkered occ lsionally until it
would expect of 4 suit of clothes origin
ally fitted to boy and let out at the
seams and patched from time to time as
increased size and wear and tear demand
ed. Isn't it high time that a constitu-
tional convention were provided for and
a fundamental act framed which would
meet the requirements of a state several
fold larger than that for which that time
honored docErnent was originally intend
cd? There are many features in which it
might be improved by bringing it abreast
with the present advanced ideas of gov
ernmental polity. There is no occasion
for pushing this matter with undue
haste, but the present legislature is well
calculated to take upon itself the work
OF inaugurating a revision of the consti-
tuition. AS body it is above the aver
age and its sagacious foresight could in
nothing be more strongly emphasized
than in providing for such a convention.
The statutes reed systematic revising,
but a new constitution is prerequisite
to this work. 1t would cost the state
considerable money but the advantages
accr,ling would fully justify the expense.
1t is more than thirty years since the
constitution was adopted and in a state
developing and growing as rapidly as
Minnesota there is demand for radical
changes which cannot be satisfactorily
made by amendment.

ANNEXATION.

Benton county tavors annexation to
&tearns and 4 consequent division as dc
sired by Western Stearns by an over
wlelming majority, and if our people
would take the matter actively in hand,
there is at least fair Prospect of accom-
plishing it, The following extracts from
che Sank Rapids Sentinel will serve to in
dictate the feeling:
Now that the question of the annexa-
ton of Benton and Stearns counties has
been considered by the people of the VII
lage of Sank Rapids, let us of tn county,
have a say in regard to the matter. BY
q most careful investigation and record
of the feeling in different portions of the
county outside of Sank Rapids, find the
feeling to be largely in favor of annexa-
ton. When | say 'largely in favor" |
mean at least nlne-tcnths. All that IS
necessary to do is to have q bill passed
allowing the people to vote upon the
question and we will show you an over
svhelmeng majority from the county,
which added to the votes of thoseiu Sank
Rapids who have heinterest and welfare
of our county at heart, will carry the
proposition without fail.
The following is from the local columns
of the Sentinel:
a meeting will be held at the Brannelly
school house, in Minden, on Saturday af-
ternoon, February 10th, to discuss the
feasibility of the annexation of the coun-
ties of Benton and Stearns. The people
OF st. George, Gilmanton and adjoining
towns are cordially invited to attend.
It is matter which interests every tax
payer in the county and should be care
fully considered as to the benefits to be
derived from the union should it be con-
Summated.
We are informed that similar meetings
will be held in other towns in the county,
and in that way an honest expression OF
the people will be had.
Benton County is alive to this PROPOSE
ton and certainly Western Stearns is
equally interested.

THE St. Paul Globe in speaking of the
representatives from the old reliable fifth
district, has the following to offer:
In their friendships these Fifth district
politicians are totally different from the
people of any other part ofthe state. The
wind of the north, the odor of the pine,
the comparative wildness of their terri
tory and the freedom of its social life
from false conventionalities, give these
men frankness of manner, bon homne,
a regard for each others good will, that
is most attractive. Graves, Comstock,
Flemming, Dunn, Flynn, Lee, Searle are
all types of the broad-guaged Fifth dis
trict statesmen. The state would not
suffer by having more like them.
