Better Prospects For Farmers.

The outlook for farmers is now more
hopeful than it has been for several
years. During the past year, as has
been shown, the prices of nearly all
products of the farm have advanced,
except cattle and hogs, and very re-
Gently there has been decided advance
in the prices of these animals. The re-
port of a short wheat crop in France
and elsewhere in Europe, with Il pres
ent prospect of good yield in the
winter-wheat belt in this country, af-
ford good promise for next season.
Outside of these special features, the
general situation contains hopeful indi-
cations. From 1870 to 1885 the acreage
of wheat was increased in this country
and India very largely, causing gem
eral depreciation Of the price. In this
country the acreage Of W eat was not
so large last year, compared with popu-
lation, as it was in 1885. Statistics
voted to wheat is no larger than it was
fifteen years ago, and that easily-tilled
lands are exhausted. During the past
few years the export OF wheat from
India to Great Britain has not in
creased, because it cannot be produced
ut present prices. On the other hand,
the apparently improved condition Of
European people has caused II larger
consumption of wheat bread than years
ago. With Il rapidly increasing popu-
lation and the diversified industries alb
sorbing that increase, the consumption
of wheat must be SO largely Increased
in this country that, upon the present
basis of production, the surplus r
other markets mnst decrease. Another
feature which presents encouragement
is the gradual diversifying of American
agriculture. A recent census bulletin
shows that in 1889 the prod cts OF
understanding reached the value OF
| S76,507, l55 after paying freights and
commissions, giving employment, a
large portion of the year, to over 24O, :
900 people. The rapid growth of cities
and manufacturing towns will give
greater importance to this branch Of
agriculture, reducing, In the vicinity VI
towns, the acreage heretofore devoted
to wheat and corn. Furthermore, the
easily cultivated prairies are now prac'
tically occupied-a condition which
must check the increase of prOduc ion
| in the new States aud turn the tide OF
declining values in the old agricultural
regions in the other direction.

Governor Wiley has received let.
ter from Hon. w. NJ. Stone, acting
commissioner of the general land office,
enclosing transcript of clear list num-
Der one Of lands selected for the r. rri-
tory of Idaho f,r university purposes
and which are now vested in the state
of Idaho under the provisions of the
admission act. This list embraces
tracts of an aggregate area of 10000 .3S
acres, and was approved by the presi-
dent Of the United States on the Odd OF
March, 1891. The survey of these lands
will begin at once, and cause the sur
vey and release of thousands Of other
acres now closed to public settlement.
Many now holding lands by squatter's
rights will be enabled to obtain full
and free title. The proceeds of the sale
of this vast tract of the cho cest land in
the state will make munificent fund
for educational purposes. With this
fund at its command the state should
make rapid Announcements in the line
of public education.

1t may cost trif1e more to buy at
home what we eat, wear or use, yet by
so doing we keep the money circulating
at home and thereby help to build up
the industries upon which the city,
community or state depend for growth
and advancement. The proper and
sensible way to build up a town is to
patrunize its industries. If the prac-
tice of sending abroad for what we
need was followed by people generally,
the result would be that the wheels of
our mills would cease turning, our
shops and stores would close their
doors, our banks would be compelled to
seek other fields for business, and we
would 60 backwards instead of for
ward. To build a city reciprocity
must be applied locally. We must pat
ronize each other.-Colfax Gazette.

Several of the leading foreign nation
have promptly accepted the invitation
of the United States to send exhibits to
the Columbian expositian to be held in
Chicago, for which grand preparations
are being made. Great Britain, France,
Spain, Germany and Russia are among
those that have signified an intention
Of being creditably represented, Russia
alone talking of spending the immense
sum Of $S,000,00O in display Of her
products. The free trade papers that
prophesied that our tariff would keep
all foreign nations away from the fair
are just at present maintaining loud
silence on that subject. The foreigners,
who are just ~ much interested as ever
in keeping up good trade relations with
the United States, will be there in force.

1t is no exaggeration to say that the
open river meeting ut Portland was the
most important event that ever hap
pened in the history Of that city and
the whole Inland Empire. The bust.
ness men aud capitalists of Portland
have ut last awakened to the realiza-
ton of the fact that Portland's com.
mercial supremacy depends upon all
open river to the sea, and that city has
volunteered to contribute million and
half to accomplish this object. What
Eastern Oregon has so long prayed fol-
seems at last within our reach. When
hopes deferred made the heart sick
with Impotence, how often was il
said, "When Portland wants an open
river we shall have it, and not until
then" Portland wants it now beyond
question, and we shall have it beyond
reasonable doubt. 1t is 10 time for
recrimination, but for congratulation
and an open river is none the less vel
come because Portland's necessity has
become our opportunity. Hencefortll
POrtland's interests will be ours, and
her commercial supremacy our glory
and Her success our pride.-The Dalles
Chronicle.

The New Orleans lynching, and til

The New Orleans lvnching, and the
sensation that grew out of it, have
caused the attention Of the leading
men Of the nation to be turned toward
the fact that the great cities of our sea-
hoard are practically at the mercy of Il
foreign fleet of modern construction
and armament. In this view the
eleven worthless Italians who were
summarily disposed of in that city
proved the most valuable acquisitions
to the population which this country
has ever received from Italy. 1t is In.
deed seldom that so much worthless
material Is transformed into positive
element of good.

When we consider the fact that most
uprisings, strikes, mobs and riots, that
have occurred in our country in the
past decade, are directly traceable to
the presence and lawless spirit of vic
ious immigration, it seems that the
time has come to call halt and put
some check on this incoming tide of
disreputable immigrants. Thousands
Of Poles, Hungarians and Italians are
pouring into this country monthly-a
representation mainly from the lowest
classes of society. Lawless, ignorant
and degraded, poverty-striken and
slothful, they add nor can add nothing
to the growth and advancement of the
republic. Surcharged with n spirit of
anarchy and unrest at home, they $ elk
to spread the infection here. The
anarchists riots in Chicago, the late
troubles ut New Orleans, and the
strikes in the Pennsylvania coal re-
gions, are noted Instances of how this
vicious element effects our social life.
The influence is felt on our whole in
dustrial system. They cheaper labor,
they cheaper and degrade life and
breed discomfort and dissatisfaction
among the industrial classes here.
Viewing the influence and effects
growing out of the presence of this dis
cOrdant element, it seems proper to as
sert and maintain the old doctrine OF
"America for Americans and place u
bar on further immigration.

Another Indian scare is reported.
This time at the Fort Hall reservation
In south Idaho. An Indian murdered
two white men and then when
pursued suicided to escape his enemy.
Later the Challis stage was fired into.
While there is little fear Of an uprising
OF any consequence, still it is deplora-
BILE that such acts of lawlessness should
be Of 80 frequent occurrence. There is
something radically wrong with the
Indian service system. A few more
verdicts like the one in question-''sui-
ci,led by the request Of long suffering
and outraged public" will do much to-
ward causing the Indian to respect and
fear the authority placed over him.

society was unable to pay the premiums
awarded at the recent state fair because
the society could not obtain the state ap

payment because no appropriation has
been made, owing to the legislative dead
lock. Governor Bulkeley has notified the

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. a. About D. m
the great pumps that cast out thousands
OF gallons OF water from the Iseggett's
Creek coal mine broke, and the mine be-
gan to Aood. Fifty miners hurried in
great alarm TO reach the carriage which
conveys them TO the surface They found
that their avenue Of escape had been cut
off. The only other way to reach the sur
face was TO face tho raging waters, pass
through them and reach a narrow passage
way which led TO the shaft Of the Won
Storch mine.
With stern faces the miners waded into
the water Soon IL reached their knees.
then their hips, and then their shoulders.
To turn back meant death; ahead was
hope Of safety. For a thousand feet the
men trudged on with the water up to their
necks. Soon they were compelled to throw
their heads sideways With one ear in the
sulphur water, and occasionally gulping
ia the water as they breathed, they stead
lily strove to reach safety hundreds Of
yards away.

SPARED and asked the others to 20 and

Five Persons Burned in Their beds At
Columbus.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov l4-One Of the most
disastrous ires Ia years, from the fact that
an entire family was consumed, occurred
here early in the morning in row Of tene-
ment houses on North High street. The
firemen endeavored TO enter the rooms,
but the dense smoke made this impossible
One Of the captains did get partially in
side the building, but was pulled out
again nearly suffooated. Two hours were
consumed in gaining control OF the flames
and long ere that every person was sup
posed to have escaped. Such, however,
was not the case.
Half day later little girl living in the
neighborhood rumaged through the ruins
and found a naked arm, which led to .
search aud the ultimate discovery Of fvs
blaekened bodies burned to a crisp. Th,
entire family Of Charles Bethers was de
stroyed while sleeping in a little by /

men stood in a window sending a stream
into this room without discovering the
dying occupants, who were unconscious
and unable to utter a cry. The search
among the ruins following the victory
over the fire was not as rigid as il should

entire force was ordered back to quarters
