The Oregonian did some excellent fig
uring lately by which it was able to
prove that the opening of the Columbia
river would secure to Portland the great
bulk of all the tonnage of Eastern Ore
gon and Washington. At.the end of q
somewhat lengthy article are found
these significant words: ''The upshot
of it all is, the Columbia river must be
opened. A portage road will soon be
completed at the Cascades; portage
road must be put in operation at The
Dalles. And not to mince words about
it Portland must take the lead in it. y
That's the kind of talk we like, and il
the Oregonian will only keep it up we'll
soon get an open river.

Her old Charge IN Danger.

There is a well to do young southern
man in this city who lives in handsome
residence not far from Central park, and
who has among other valued possessions
a family of seven children.
He had been brought up" by an old ne
gro "mammy" somewhere near Alexan-
dria, Va, and when his wife suggested
that another nurse be secured for the chill
dren his thoughts reverted to Aunt Maria
He decided to bring the old negress here,
and in few weeks she was comfortably
installed in the nursery, much to the awe
of the northern born young southrons, who
were not familiar with the institutions of
a bygone age, and who did not quite un
derstand Aunt Maria's authority Il
The young man has a telephone in his
house. and as the old negress had never
heard of that invention she looked upon it
at first with wonder and then with suspi-
cion. The jingling bell, receiver and other
necessary adjuncts were more than Aunt
Maria's mind could master. She would
never go near dat debbil's ting nohow."
Finally one day S. rang up from his of
flee, and after orief conversation request
ed his wife to send the old woman to the
telephone A great deal of persuasion was
required to make her consent, but she was
finally induced to place the receiver at her
ear and listen

few weeks ago Messrs. j. G. Muir
ply and f. G.. Dickerson of Antelope
took band of horses to the Sound for
the purpose of making sale of them.
Mr.. Dickerson returned yesterday, hav-
ing been able to dispose of his lot, con-
sisting of % head, at fair prices on
credit, but he informs US that there is
practically no cash market for horses, in
that section. Mr.. Murphy was less sue
cessful, having only disposed of four and
he is now on his way back with the re-
mainder. Mr.. Dickerson believes that
there must be 10000 draft horses In the
various pastures between Portland and
Centralia on their way to market or for
sale, and probably twice as many smaller
horses.. Yesterday gentleman fed 10
head of horses at Mr.. Richmond's sta
BILE. He had had them in the Sound
country but could not sell them and was
on his way back. to his home in North
Eastern Washington. We believe these
facts ought to be known so that persons
contem plating the: taking of horses to
these markets should know what they
may expect should they go there.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

1t is useless to conceal the fact that
unless vigorous action is taken by our
fruit growers 10 destroy the pests
that are injecting many of our
orchards, in Il short time and in
many places, fruit raising will he
a thing of the past. Portland papers
inform us that Mr. f. w. Allen, secre-
tary of the state horticultural society
lately examined lot of boxes of apples
received from California by commission
merchants, and finding them to be in
fected with the "San Jose Scale" ordered
them to be destroyed or shipped back to
California. The dealers concluded to
ship them back and some boxes of the
apples which have been sent out to diff
ferent towns were recalled and the whole
lot returned. The apples show bright
red spots OH their surface and with the
aid of a magnifying glass, on each of
these spot can be seen a gray scale at
tached, under which is deposited the
eggs of the scale. bug. The San Jose
scale is much dreaded pest and a law
passed ut the last legislature forbids the
importation, into this state, of trees or
fruit infected with it. In our own
neighborhood Mr.. Varney has been do
ing good work in the direction of stamp
ing out this evil, and he reports that
the Teople have, as rule, shown their
readiness to assist him in complying
with the law that requires infected
trees, either TO be properly sprayed or
destroyed. As many as eight or ten
lots of imported fruit have been con-
demned and destroyed. A few days ago
Mr.. Varney condemned a lot of appri-
cots which had been shipped from a
Portland firm to one of our local fruit
dealers. The, dealer notified the firm
in Portland and received the following
reply. eve are sorry we shipped you
such appricots and did not know it
otherwise they would not have been
shipped. Mr.. Varney was perfectly
right in condemning them, but when
anything is condemned in this way
please let Mr.. V. take it and destroy it
and send US u bill with his stamp, giving
cause why same has been destroyed and
we will not be out anything ourselves,
them" All persons who have infected
trees should know that the officers oi
the state horticultural society are clothed
with ample; power to enforce the spray
ing or destruction of infected trees, and
in case the owner should refuse to do so
trees so infected may be cut down OF
destroyed at the owners expense.

there will be good attendance and that

Senator Dolph shall use all the efforts in
his power to have the works at the Locks
finished by contract. There is no room
for any second opinion on this subject.
In the event of their being finished by
contract there would be some hope that
the people Of this section might, in the
course of a few years, realize the benefits
of an open river. If the contract sys-
tenn is not adopted it is really matter
OF no concern to us whether any more
appropriations are made or not, because
none of us who have arrived at middle
life, ever. expect to see the work finished.

uncharitable men in the world are those
who stand most in need of charity
themselves. The men who stand most

bitterest denunciators of the faults of
others. notwithstanding it will ever re-
