Here is the cold-blooded way the Or
sgonidn looks at the efforts of Eastern
Oregon to put a portage on this side the
river.
The fact that there arc rival portage
railway schemes seeking aid from Port
land is hopeful guarantee that the road
about The Dalles will be built by one or
the other. The chief question in inter
est now seems to be, which can offer the
best terms to Portland. One has the
advantage of rich backing, and the. other
of inexpensive construction. Probably
both will be built ultimately. For the
present, however, both need ready
money, and are likely to compete sharply
and literally for Portland's support.

SALMON SEASON CLOSED.

The Columbia River salmon season
for 1891 has closed and those directly, or,
Indirectly interested in this industry are
busy balancing accounts. 1t is said that

form OF wages etc. The salmon
pack for the season is rs, 900 cases short
of last year and while the exact figures
are not known it is conceded by all the
cannery men to be a trifie over 375, 900

year. Of this number $4,000 cases are

Mayor Mason hits the nail square on
the head when he says the citizens of
Portland should build the portage road
and forever keep the control of it in
their own hands. This is practical
proposition that will strike the business
sense of every man in the city. 1t is in
accordance with the DEGREES of nature
that the Columbia river trade shall for
ever be tributary to Portland. 1t is
worse than imbecility on our part to sit
with folded hands while this trade is
being diverted from us and make no
effort to retain that which nature has
designed for US. And it will require
such small effort, too, to hold our own.
An outlay of capital not exceeding $780,
600 is all that is required. When we con-
sicer that Portland is the wealthiest city
of it's population in America, and that
the object in view is SO very important
to the city's future growth and prosper
ity, we fail to comprehend why there
should be any sort of hesitation. In
fact, it is hard to realize that such an

The late census shows that i'll many of
our cities the foreign born population is
greater than the native born. Detroit,
for instance has 100000 foreign born citi-
zens to 20 900 native born. The agita-
ton that grew out of the late New Or
leans lynching suggested the question
from many lips, "What shall we do
with.our foreigners?' while, if the influx
of foreigners continues as it has done in
the past, the really important question
will be: What are the foreigners going
to do with us?

GOOD ENOUGH FOR DUDES.

An exchange says: An instance of
the effects of the McKinleyism is mem
toned by large importer of hosiery.
''We get the same stocking as before in
appearance, he says. ''but it is nothing
but trash. Instead of the two-thread
yarns, we now get miserable single
thread with hardly strength enough to
hold together"
Serves them right who prefer foreign
hosiery to American made. Stockings
and other hosiery are manufactured in
the United States that are good enough
for any dude that ever squinted through
an eye glass or sucked the head of a
cane. If some folks must have imported
stockings because they are English, you
know, we are patriotic enough to wish
they may never find them anything
better than single thread trash.

Now that we have entered upon the
era of a new dispensation and the dawn
OF new day has broken upon Portland,
let us bestir ourselves in seeing those
advantages which God, in His Infinite
wisdom and goodness, has bestowed
upon us. The trade of the Columb bia
and Willamette valleys is ours by every
natural right, and can it be possible that
we are so completely bound to the
wheels of the railway corporations as to
be supremely Indifferent to the favors
that nature has bestowed upon us? We
think that there is yet sufficient business
independence left in Portland to take
care of Portland interests, regardless of
corporation influence. Now is the time
to demonstrate it.

warm causing the daily mean tempera-
ture to be above the average from to

Threshing of fall wheat has been in
full operation. The berry is, as rule,
large and plump and it is considered to
be extra good milling wheat. Portland
price this morning is 81 cents per bushel
which is about 10 cents per bushel more
than was paid this time last year.
Yields of from % to A bushels per acre
are generally reported. Mr.. w. H.
Goudy of Hubbard, Marion county,
thres6ed out $40 bushels OF wheat from
field of 23 acres; this field has been in
continual wheat cultivation fer 35 years.
The cool weather in the mornings
retards ripening of spring grain and
causes grain to be rather tough for
threshing until the sunshine becomes
warmer. In Curry county four crops oi
alfalfa, blades about % inches long, have
been cut this year up to July %, without
irrigation. Oats are heavy and good

There is a serious lack of harvest
hands in most sections. Heading and
threshing are in full progress. The
wheat is turning out above even the ex-
pectations of most farmers. The quality
is generally above the average. Prices
today in Pendleton for wheat are 65
cents for blue stem and "a cents for club,
clear of the sack. Many farmers in this
section sold their wheat last year at from
81 to 55 cents per bushel. In Sherman
and Morrow counties the yeild is most
satisfactory, also in parts of Wasco
county. In Union county some heading
was done this past week, but it will be
in full operation next week. In Klam-
ath county, which appears to be a
natural county for rye, there is rye
eight feet high and volunteer oats that
will yeild nearly or quite so bushels pei
acre. Through the stock country large
hay crop was secured and stock are gen.

promises the best all around harvest on

Every berth in the car but his own was
made up
'Whats the matter2" he asked test
lily.
'Ain't had time, boss" and then the
tired one hung around for another half
hour. He woke up in Jersey City. His
shoes were polished, and after he had
washed he made the porter follow him
around with wisp broom for twenty
minutes.
'Give me a lift with my bag" he
said, and the porter shouldered it and
carried it 100 yards to the entrance to
the ferry
'That'll do now" he said, as he took
his bag. Then he dropped four cents
into the black palm, and when the
porter saw the pennies his eyes rolled

It Is . Serious Fault That Many People
Have In Their Conssssstion. lfsi'
One of the common vices ia ordinary
conversation, as well as in written
speech, is the habit of making reck-
lessly exaggerated statement Of facts or
circumstances. Its long utilization with
coarse and cheap humor has given it a
currency among us beyond its deserts
lit any merit it really has There Is
so much to be said against it--as stale
device of provincial buffoonery or
coarse waggery-w while there is SO little
TO recommend it, except perhaps as .
wand in. the hand of a genius like
Rabelais.-one is inclined to wonder
that it has not been long ago banished
utterly, at the least from all well bred
intercourse
First, to practice it without specific
design or as o vehicle for humor, usual
ly betrays frivolous disposition, an
irregular imagination or slovenly in
attention to important details. Next,
it indicates an almost reckless disregard
of moral accuracy and a carelessness of
the effect of language upon another,
which, to say the least, are by no means
respectful to ones auditors Again,
although it may not even suggest the
notion of willful perversion of actual
fact or any intent harmfully to deceive
another, yet it insensibly begets, when
accustomed to hear this sort of talk,
habit of hearers of paying but little
attention to such a speakers state
ments.
1t associates all seriousness from
what he may say, and finally they re-
gard him as a common Laughter, whose
speech does not deserve ordinary no
tice. Moreover it produces a bewilder-
ing effect upon the general listener,
which is quite incompatible either with
serious interest in or care to re-
member what is thus said, and in the
end is likely to cheat the speaker of
more than half his due because of his
common discredit as narrator or re-
porter.
Perhaps it is sometimes not inexcus-
able In an earnest advocate or a real
humorist, whose reputation for good
sense is unclouded, who seeks to pro-
duce an immediate effect, and is not
supposed to be limited by an obliga-
ton to speak with an impartial accu-
racy. Nevertheless its habitual use
tends in most cases to destroy the
capabilty for judicial impartiality,
where such a faculty exists-precisely
as contrary habit of conscientious
accuracy of statement usually runs
with fairness of judgment.
When Rufus Choate, who habitually
reveled in hyperbole, was asked to ac-
cept a judicial Office, he declined en-
phatically, saying truthfully, .It would
destroy my powers of exaggeration."-
